Carmen: Oh really? Because I don’t think taking me to a skate park is showing me you’d rather be by my side.

Shane: Okay, this isn’t about is. And we haven’t even fucked yet, so we don’t count.

Alice: We haven’t fucked yet, so that’s no excuse.

Shane: Whatever, Al. So, are you nervous?

Alice looked up at Dana and Dana gave her a look that showed her she had nothing to worry about, she was right there.

Alice: Well, I was this morning, but this one here showed me I have nothing to worry about.

Helena: You guys are so cute together. I wish Winnie and I were like that.

Bette: Yeah, same here. Tina and I just fuck all the time.

Carmen: Lucky you(!)

Shane: Oh, come one! Carmen, you’re the one that shot me down when I practically asked you to fuck. Why are you all cranky now I want to take things slow?

Carmen: Never mind, as you so rightly put it, it isn’t about us.

Dana: Anyway guys, we’d better go. We’ll see you later.

They all said their goodbyes and wished their luck to Alice, who just smiled and accepted many hugs from them all. They got in the car and Dana drove to the hospital. When they got there, Dana took off her seat belt and looked over at Alice, who had yet to take hers off.

Dana: You okay?

Alice: Dane, what if it goes wrong?

Dana: It won’t, I promise.

Alice: You can’t know for sure. Anything could happen.

Dana: Okay, you got me there. But I wouldn’t ever let anything happen to you. And even if it does, I’ll be here.

Alice sighed and took off her seat belt. Dana got Alice’s chair and sat her in it, before wheeling her up to the reception to ask for Dr. Edwards. He immediately walked out of the room and greeted Alice and Dana. He asked how they were, before leading them to a large-ish room full of equipment. Alice was sat on a chair that looked a lot like the ones from the dentist. He laid her back slightly, so he had better access to the pots. Dana sat in a chair beside her, holding her hand and occasionally kissing her on the forehead, ensuring her everything would be fine. Dr. Edwards explained the process, telling her he would have to use an electric saw to cut them off. He showed them the saw and Alice gasped. Dana squeezed her hand and took in the sight of the saw. It wasn’t big, but it was obviously sharp. He turned the saw on and brought it close to Alice’s pots.
