Marina grins and walks off with Robin now occupying the seat left behind.

Alice “Robin, this is Shane.”

Robin “Hi.”

Shane “Hey.”

Alice “So I’m glad you finally made it out here.”

Robin “Well, like I said back at Dinah, I’m friends with one of the performers.”

Alice “Which one?”

Robin “The one called ‘Phil McCockin’ who was just on stage.”

Alice “Ohhhh…yeah, Phil was good.”

After the performances are done, Robin takes Alice and Shane over to introduce them to Phil.

Robin “With the mustache, he’s Phil.  And without the mustache…”

The mustache is peeled away on cue, with a smile.

Robin “She’s Dax.”

Dax “Sup.”

Alice “Hey, you were great on stage.”

Dax places the mustache back on and tips her cowboy hat to her.

Alice “Thank ya, little lady.”

Shane “Hey guys, Imma get another drink.”

Shane heads over to the bar for said drink.  Dax continues talking with some other acquaintances while Alice and Robin now talk among themselves.

Alice “So whaddaya think about The Planet?”

Robin “It’s nice.  I like it.”

Alice “Have you seen Lara?  She’s working in the back.”

Robin “No.  No, that’s okay.  She’s busy and I’m just happy we didn’t get into a fight the last time.”

Alice “Naahhh, Lara’s a good girl.  I don’t think she’d fight ya.”

Robin tilts her head as a memory comes to mind.

Robin “Well…”

Alice “Wait…you and Lara had a fight?”

Robin “It’s when she found out.  It was also when I found out.  I don’t really care to talk about it.  I’m pretty sure Lara wouldn’t either so please, don’t bring it up.”

Alice “Yeah…umm…yeah, just forget I said anything.”

Robin “So…Alice.”

Alice “Yeah?”

Robin “You still find me interesting?”

Alice nods.

Alice “Very.  I’d like to get you know you a little better.”

Robin “Really…?”

Alice “Yeah.”

Robin “Doing anything Wednesday Night?”

The two exchange smiles.

Alice “I could.”

Alice and Robin exchange phone numbers as Shane and Marina look on from afar.

Marina “Hmm.  This is an interesting development.”

Shane drinks from her bottle of Dos Equis.

Shane “No shit.”

It is the end of a Monday Night.  With Tuesday come and gone, Wednesday arrives on the calendar.  At Dana’s apartment, Lara is there having spent the night after leaving The Planet.  Dana goes over the instructions for Lara to take care of Mr. Piddles while Dana is away with training and other commitments, including lunch with her new agent, Tonya.  Lara admires the love and care Dana has for her pet cat, taking notes of the instructions so they are followed thoroughly.  Dana kisses Lara then kisses and briefly plays with Mr. Piddles, assuring her pet that he is in good hands.  As Dana leaves, Lara takes over the petting and care of, “the man in Dana’s in life,” having served with that title for over a decade, not including Dana’s fake relationship with Harrison.  Mr. Piddles curls up against Lara, who gently rubs his back.
