Alice: Yeah I guessjust please dont be harsh after all these years, I think we could have a civilized conversation.

Dash: Okayalthough that was a great soliloquy that Shakespeare himself would have bowed down to

Alice: Solar who?

Alice: What?…But why?

Dash: Because this is Dashand although I could use a Sugar Mama to take care of me right now

Alice: What?!? Why didnt you

Dash: Say anything?

Alice: Yeah so

Dash: Naturally you thought it was her.

Alice: Well this is

Dash: Her cell phone?

Alice: STOP IT!!!

Dash: Whats the matter? Not so much fun when someone cuts you off before you can finish a sentence aye?

Alice rolled her eyes and Dash gave a deep chuckle.

Alice: Can I talk to her?

Dash: I dont know you just woke mewhat time is it anyway?

Alice: Seven usually shes

Dash: *****…we should have got up an hour ago.these meds put me in a coma man

Alice: Alright, go wake her then.

Dash: Wellhow about you go work on that speech a little more, and then get back to her.

Alice: It was no good?

Dash: Oh No it was goodbut uhmit should be from the heartnot rehearsed…and it should be a conversationnot an ultimatum cause lately shes been so pissed she might just say ***** off.

Alice: Trueokay Ill call back in a few minutes.

Dash: Okaygood luck.

Alice: Hey Dashuhmthanks.

Dash: No problem AlI think you make her happy.I want Shane to be happy.

Dash hung up the phone and went to wake up Shane. She could hear music pounding from her bedroom and the door was locked. She banged on the door for a few minutes with no answer from the other side. Finally, she went to the front porch to see Bette and Tina getting into the Saab in their driveway. Dash yelled and waved for them to come over, which they quickly did without hesitation. They came into the house and Dash told them how shed woken to the music but Shane wouldnt let her in. She couldnt explain all of the details of the situation because Tina was still left in the dark as far as the whole Alice and Shane situation. The three made their way back to Shanes room, where Tina pounded away on the door.
