Bette woke up in the dark. She looked over at her clock "2:00am"  She felt disoriented but extremely well rested.  The last thing she could remember was talking to Tina earlier in the afternoon. She must’ve fallen asleep.  She could see Tina’s silhouette across the room asleep on her own bed.  Quietly she reached to turn on her lamp causing Tina to move slightly.  Bette eased out of bed and moved towards her desk.  There was a note from Tina.  

Bette,

            Shane and Alice stopped but you had fallen asleep.  So they asked me to tell you if you woke up to stop by their room.  Anyway, it’s almost 11:00 and I’m going to bed, I just wanted to let you know.  Goodnight!

Tina

XOXO

Bette slipped into her new balance tennis shoes and went to find her friends.  The dorm hallway was dark and empty.  Bette followed it all the way to the end.  She could hear music blaring through the door.  After several knocks there was still no answer.  She turned the knob and opened the door to find both her friends knocked out.  Alice on her bed and Shane on the floor.  She walked over to Shane and nudged her with her foot.  No response. She tried the same with Alice.  Nothing.  "HEY! WAKE UP!" Neither of her friends moved.  After checking both their pulses to make sure they were still alive, Bette stood on Alice’s bed and jumped up and down.  Alice rolled over stringing drool down the side of her face while mumbling, "No, No, mom, I don’t want any oatmeal."  Then snuggled up to her pillow.  A sly grin began to form on Bette’s face.

"Tina." Bette whispered "Tina, wake up"

"Hmmm…."

"Tina, are you awake?"

"Bette? What time is it?"

"2:30"

"In the morning?!"

"Yeah, sorry listen I need your help."

"Bette, what kind of help do you need at 2:30 in the morning? You’re not moving a body are you?"

Bette laughed at Tina’s sarcasm, "Not exactly…come on. You’ll see."

Tina crawled out of bed and grabbed her robe following Bette out the door.  Back in Shane and Alice’s room , Tina stood with her arms crossed, "There is absolutely no way I’m helping you do this."
