“Oh! Nothing too big, it was just Max. He got the equipment, so if I want to do a videocast for the website I can.”

“…Wait, weren’t you already doing that? I thought that’s what Kit was asking you about earlier,” Dana said, frowning a little in concentration.

“Well, yeah, it was what we’d been hoping for. And Kit’s being great in letting us use the Planet for all my website stuff. But up until he called, we weren’t positive we’d be able to get the video equipment…but I guess he found a way. And he just wanted to come by and look at the site again, see what he can set up for video stuff or whatever,” Alice replied. “Oh fuck…we were supposed to go tell Kit what happened!”

Dana was about to say something to comfort her when she realized that they had, in fact, promised to do just that. All it took was one look at Alice before both of them were out of their seats, Dana having left quite a bit of extras money after them on the table.

Alice drove a little quicker than was absolutely necessary to the Planet, and walked a little quicker than what was probably necessary inside. Kit was behind the counter doing God-knows-what, and looked up at them casually when they hurried over to her.

“Looks like somebody’s in a hurry. I’ll get your coffee, hold on…”

“No, no, wait! Kit, I’m sorry. I know we were supposed to come back! We just forgot. We didn’t mean to…” Dana tried to explain.

“Yeah, and I figured Dana might need some food…not that there’s not food here…but I mean like…um…” Alice continued, just as flustered. Kit just shook her head.

“You two are gonna drive yourselves crazy. Calm down and stop worrying about me, all right? It’s not like I don’t have baby-girl over there telling me what I need to know anyway,” Kit told them, pointing over to a table toward the back where Shane was reading some kid of magazine.

“You better start charging her rent, as much as she’s in here these days. Seriously,” Alice called back to Kit as she took their coffees and walked over to Shane. “Thanks for relaying the message.”
