Thirty minutes later, along with several horrible looking baked confections brought over by the boys, and Van still sat in his chair with his arms crossed and hair tasseled. 

<b>Tina:</b> It won’t work.

<b>Van:</b> No one will come, or help.

Dana hustled in with her giant duffle bag decked out in her matching workout sweats.  Before she could open her mouth for a hello, a protein smoothie was placed in one hand by Kelly and a plate of veggies in the other by Messiah.

Dana looked at the with fear and made her way over to Lara to find out what was going on with the ‘***** Defense League’ that was congregated in a deep thinking circle around her. 

<b>Dana:</b> I want to be in it, it could be fun.

<b>Shane:</b> Well Dane, if you want to turn back the clock ten years and be a juvenile delinquent you can.

<b>Alice:</b> Wait, I kinda want to do it to, can’ t geriatric delinquents be in it to?

Alice gave a puppy dog look and Shane folded.

<b>Shane:</b> Okay, Okay.

<b>Lara:</b> Wait, what if each kid has to have an adult sponsor themthey could help them sell tickets to people and possibly work with them on their project.

<b>Van:</b> You really think these kids can come up with seventy adults.

<b>Tina:</b> Plus another fifty for the Center kids? These kids mainly have no adults in their lifewell positive ones at least.

Alice jokingly grab Lara by the shoulders and shook her as Dana watched in confusion.

<b>Alice:</b> Come on evil genius don’t fail us now.

<b>Jenny:</b> Can’tthinkmust.be motivated.

Lara did her best Captain Kirk impersonation and the group laughed as she pulled Dana down into her lap and kissed her passionately.  Shane and Alice watched as Van gave a nonjudgmental glance and then looked away when he felt everyone’s eyes on him.

<b>Lara:</b> Okay make groups. Two center kids two of the other kids and an adult if they can find one. They work together, or team up with another group, whatever needs to be done.

<b>Alice:</b> My god I think she’s got it!

<b>Shane:</b> Dana keep it up, those magic lips are working.

The women laughed as Dana pulled her into a heated lip lock.
