Shane: I dont know how to be an adult….especially one whose in charge…you know responsible….I couldnt even feed the dog today…I cant even feed myself….

Dash: youre doing fine …well…you were.

Shane: Until I fucked up and took everything out on you when you were just trying to help?

Dash: Yeah you were quite the angry *****.

They both laughed and Dash looked up at Shane with tears in her eyes.

Shane: Hey now…I dont deserve your tears…..Im sorry I was such an ***** today…and Im sorry I made you think you had to leave tonight…you can definitely stay here…in fact, Id like it if you would stay through the weekend….okay?

Dash thought for a moment, and looked down at Achilles. She looked back up at Shane and saw the sincere look on her face.

Dash: Okay…but I swear if you get naked tonight.

Shane: Shut up!.

Shane playfully punched her in the arm. She saw headlights pull in next door and jumped up.

Shane: ***** ….Bettes home….

Shane ran in side forgetting about Dash and came into the living room with a look of panic.

Shane: Bettes here….guys look we cant tell her about the thing at the Planet today or shell give up…..so if she asks, nothing happened…..itll crush her.

Bette walked in as Dash came in from the patio.

Bette: Hey troops….hows the mission going….we lucked out, Tina left a note saying shell be at Als tonight, so the coast is clear to set up at our place.

The gang looked at each other and then at Shane. They all gave a collective Great and went back to business.

Once Two A.M. rolled around, Lara had scurried off to Dana, and Jenny and Marina fell asleep on the couch. Kit let out a giant yawn and Ivan was rubbing his eyes.

Shane: Hey, you guys can get going, I can get the rest of this…

Ivan and kit looked around in disbelief.

Van: Were almost done, but theres no way you can finish this and pack it up for…

Shane: Dont worry, I wont be going to sleep tonight.

Kit: You dont have to tell me twice.

Kit and Ivan left after wishing Bette good luck. When they left, Bette whipped out the Cd Big Daddy made, and played it on Shanes Laptop. The song only made things worse. Shane became quiet and Dash just focused on trying to do the roses without adding more cuts to her hands but was unsuccessful.
