Alice saw the door in plain sight and found her legs moving for her. It was over, there was no going back now.

Dash leaned her back against the counter and watched the room. She saw Shane quickly exit the table and scan the room. Dash studied the look on her face with concern. She walked over towards the DJ booth and climbed up with a look shed never seen before, but recognized immediately. Shane was numb, and on the prowl.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Alice crossing the dance floor, while wiping her eyes. Dash shook her head at their stupidity. Shed never even seen them together, but she knew they belonged together.

What do you want?

Dash smiled to herself and turned to the bartender.

Dash: Its not what I want, its what I need.

Dash looked the bartender up and down and gave her a steely glare. The bartender was a tall woman of both Black and Asian descent. She had long flowing hair done in a faux hawk, with red tips that accented her unusually bright blue eyes that were heavily traced with liner.

And what is it that you need?

Dash leaned in close to the bartender.

Dash: I need chicken fingers and a Jack and Coke for Shane

And for you?

Dash smiled, seeing that she was on the verge of winning the bet. The bartender looked her up and down, but before she could ask the age old question, Dash whipped out the hundred dollar bill Shane gave her, and held it out in front of her between her two fingers.

Dash: How about you surprise me.

Dash winked and turned her back to the bartender before she could change her mind. Dash watched Shanes interaction with the beautiful Hispanic woman, and spotted Alice searching the dance floor for her.

Behind her back, the bartender mixed a drink of orange juice, sprite, grenadine, and a splash were talking like a mistof peach schnapps. She laughed to herself and shook her head at the girl. She could see this girl was a chip off the block. She tapped Dash on the shoulder and gave her the change. Dash left a ten dollar tip and turned to walk off with her tray of food and drinks. As she turned around, she saw Shane making out on stage with the woman. At least thats what she thought, until she saw the woman talking and searching the crowd in the mirror behind Shane. Dash turned back to grab napkins before she headed back to the table.
