Shane “They were talkin’ to somebody down at the White Party room.”

Dana “Oh.  Okay then.  Well…I am getting out of this dress and into something comfy.”

Dana heads to the bathroom to change while Shane and Tina watch an old movie on the television.  Soon after changing into her pajamas, she joins Shane and Tina on the bed.

In the hallway, Alice and Lara approach their room where friends await, still holding hands as they walk.

Lara “So you’re seriously interested in her?”

Alice “I don’t know about serious, but…I dunno…for a fucking trapeze artist, she seems okay.  She seems interesting.  …You’re not upset, are you?”

Lara stops walking, causing Alice to do the same.

Alice “Lara?  Gotta be careful with those sudden stops…I’m a little tipsy right now.”

Lara “…”

Alice “…Lara?”

Lara “I think you’re great, Alice.  I really do.  Something you need to understand about Robin and her friends…they all want the super serious relationship right away.  The reason her friends aren’t here with her is probably because at least two of those four I mentioned earlier are either pregnant or already raising a baby.  They want to raise families and they want Robin to be able to raise a family.”

Alice “So it’s not a good idea to be interested?”

Lara “I’m just saying, Alice.  Robin is a sweetheart.  It sucks Claybourne tried to play us off each other, but deep down, Robin’s a good woman.  Just…don’t be surprised if she wants it to get real serious, real quick.”

Alice “I just find her interesting.  Just wanna make sure it doesn’t become some big fucking mess with you.”

Lara “Alice.  It’ll be fine.  Don’t think I’m going to get in the way of your happiness.  Okay?”

Alice “Have I mentioned how glad I am you came back?”

They get to the door and look down at their hands still locked together.  Initially it had been to just navigate through the White Party crowd without getting separated or lost.

Lara “I think we can let go now.”

Alice “Probably a good idea.  Although this did help with my balance, so thanks.”

Alice and Lara join Dana, Tina, and Shane in their room with Alice eventually placing herself in the middle of the bed that everyone is hanging out on.  Shane will realize she never heard Lara’s coming out story, which Lara soon shares.  The story will lead to Shane to wanting Tina to share her coming out story, which is about meeting Bette.
Soon it shall be time for everyone to sleep.  While Shane will at one point excuse herself to make a call to Cherie Jaffe and then wander about the late nighters, Tina lies in the bed that she shares with Shane while Alice is still in the middle of the bed as Dana and Lara are on opposing sides of her, looking at her.
