Shane: “Hey, there you are. I want you to meet somebody. Carmen, this is Shay. He’s my little brother. Shay, this is Carmen. A friend of mine.”

Carmen smiles at Shay: “Hi, so you are Shane’s little brother. I should have known it. You look so much like her.”

Shay grins shyly: “Hi…Are you still angry at my sister?”

Carmen looks surprised at Shane: “Angry? … Uhm, no. I’m not angry at her. Not anymore.”

Shay: “Oh, that’s good. Because Shane is very upset when you’re angry at her.”

Shane: “Okay! Shay, why don’t you go to the shop in front of the planet. Here, take the money. You can buy yourself a comic. But only one, okay?”

Shay grins happily and nods his head.

Shane: “And be careful before you cross the street. Remember what I told you.”

Shay nods: “Thanks Shane.”

Shane smiles: “You’re welcome. Now hurry up, before Kit’s back with the food.”

Carmen is impressed by the way Shane cares for Shay. She never saw her like that before. She could see how much Shane loves her brother which made her smile.

Shane: “Why are you smiling?”

Carmen: “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just…I didn’t know that you can handle kids so well.”

Shane giggles: “Well, I had to learn it.”

Carmen: “Where are his parents?”

Shane: “My father left his family and Carla couldn’t take care of Shay anymore. She just left him in L.A and told me that he was me wedding gift.”

This shocks Carmen. She can’t believe how someone could be able to leave his own child.

Carmen: “Well, I guess Shay is lucky to have such a great sister.”

Shane laughs: “Thank you.”

They look at each other for a moment before Shay is back with a comic in his hand.

At the Planet

Alice and Shane join Jenny, Tina and Bette. They talk about Jenny’s film.

Bette: “Hey, there you are.”

Alice: “Hi, what’s going on?”

Tina: “Oh nothing. We were just talking about the rights of Jenny’s movie.”

Bette: “I am of the opinion that, as a friend, Jenny should sell them to Tina.”
