"You all have a fabulous day, and make sure to come back!" He waved, "Toodles!"

Alice and Dana left the salon and ventured into the smoggy, air-conditioner-free-air of Los Angeles. Alice grinned as she looked at her friend. "See, that wasn’t so bad."

"Easy for you to say, you’re not the one with rug burn." Dana shifted uncomfortably as they arrived at the car, opening the door as Alice unlocked it.

Sliding into the seats, Dana felt her cell phone vibrate in the pocket of her jeans and fished it out. Alice turned down the stereo for her friend and began driving away from the salon deciding to drop Dana off before heading to work herself.

“What? Please tell me you’re kidding…no…I didn’t, I mean, why? I just spent like two-hundred bucks…” Dana argued into her phone, sounding quite agitated. “No, alright, no you don’t have to reimburse me.” She sighed and turned her phone off, looking to Alice.

“What was that all about?” Alice asked, putting the sounds of Tegan and Sara back on.

“Subaru thinks it would be a bad message if I posed in a swimsuit, Sports Illustrated agreed. So, they want me just in a regular tennis skirt and shirt.” Dana groaned and buried her face in her hands.

Alice shook her head, manning the wheel with one hand and patting her friend’s back. “Hey, hey cheer up, just think; now your wooter is freshly waxed and you can paint the town red.”

“Thanks, Al.” Dana muttered insincerely.

 “Anytime, my friend, and at least you got to get that done by a sexy Italian girl, who’s also non-exclusive.” Alice winked.

“Oh please, one toe out of the closet and you want me to screw anything with legs and an accent.” Dana scoffed.

“No, my fair Dana, you are not Shane.”

Dana laughed. “Well, Elsie knew Shane pretty well.”

“Leave it to us to have the most fucked up circle of friends in the world, or at least all of Los Angeles.” Alice mumbled and fiddled with the air-conditioner vent.

“Gotta love them though…so, Planet?” Dana asked.

“Planet it is.” Alice made a U-Turn, much to the displeasure of the other drivers, and the two headed back home.
