Shane is sleeping in bed. The door opens, it was Carmen. She walked towards the curtains and opened it wide. The sun shined into Shane’s face. Shane screwed up her face and covered it with her pillow. Carmen jumped on the bed on top of Shane.

Carmen: Wake up sleepy head!!

Shane shifted and turned to see who it was.

Shane: (sleepily) What the ***** Carmen? How’d you get in here?

Carmen: (smiling and holding up a key) Spare key.

Shane sighed in disbelief.

Carmen: And here I got a letter for you (holding up an envelope)

Shane: A letter? From who?

Carmen: (reading) It’s from…Dana.

Shane: (stood up and snatch the envelope off Carmen) Dana?

She tear it opened and took the paper out and started reading it. Shane’s eyes were wide open. Carmen saw the expression on her face.

Carmen: What?! What does it say?!

Shane looked up at her shocked.

Alice’s house…

Alice and Dannielle are sleeping in bed. Dannielle woke up and rolled over to the other side of the bed, she looked down at the ground and saw a photo she picked it up and looked at it. It was a photo of Alice and Dana hugging and looking like a couple. Dannielle turned to face

Alice she shook her in the shoulders.

Dannielle: Alice who’s this?

Alice rolled over and hugged Dannielle around the waist.

Alice: Who’s what?

Alice opened up her eyes and saw the photo.

Alice: Oh god! Where’d you get that? (snatching the picture off Dannielle)

Dannielle: Under your bed. Why? Is that your ex or something. If she is, she’s hot.

Alice: Ew! She is not my ex.

Dannielle: Who is she then?

Alice: She’s – she’s….(looking at the picture)….my cousin.

Dannielle: Oh…okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At The Planet….

Shane is reading the letter again. Carmen has had enough of it and snatched the letter of Shane.

Carmen: Let me read it, gosh!

Carmen read on…

Shane,

How’s things down there? How are you guys? Good I hope.
Not so good up here, I’m really having a hard time on something.
Please don’t get shocked on what your about to read.
Lara got tested by this really amazing chef and now he wants her to
work for him, and Lara thought that it would be a good opportunity for her
and me, and we might get a house here in New York but I’m having doubts
about it. I mean I’m going to miss everyone there and I’m going to miss Angelica
grow up, Bette, Tina, You, Carmen, Jenny, Kit, The Planet and…Alice.
Alice was the greatest girlfriend ever, I know she can be crazy at times
but I loved her so much. Sometimes I regret breaking up with her, I regret what
I said at the party. You know that night when we broke up I felt like I lost
apart of me, I felt like I lost the best part of me. The part that made me feel
happy inside, the part that kept me alive, the part that kept me strong, Lara’s like
the same but she’s different in some weird way. I don’t know how to say this but
I still love Alice but I love Lara. How did Carmen feel about you and Jenny?
I don’t know what to do. I guess I’ll miss you guys. Don’t tell anybody else yet.

Love,
Dana

Carmen staring at the paper.

Carmen: What the ***** is she doing?

Shane: (sounding depressed) I know, I can’t believe she’s moving.

Carmen: We can’t tell Alice.

Alice: Can’t tell me what?

Out of the blues, Alice and Dannielle sat down next to them.

Alice: Hmm? (waiting for an answer) Well….?

Shane & Carmen: (looking at eachother)Uh…uum…nothing..we gotta go!

Standing up and walked out of The Planet. Alice and Dannielle watch them leave confused.

Dannielle: What’s up with them?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At New York…

At the hotel room…

Lara is getting dressed in her cooking clothes. Dana walked out from the bathroom.

Dana: Where are you going?

Lara: Oh yeah, all the chefs are meeting up and we’re all going to cook for this fundraising thing. Do you wanna come with me?

Dana sat down on the bed.

Dana: No thanks, I’m feeling a little sick..maybe later.

Lara: Aaw (walking towards her and giving her a hug) are you alright? I’ll bring you some of my special soup to make you feel better, okay?

Dana: Alright..bye.

As Lara walked out, she stood up and went through her bag looking for something. She took out a picture of her and Alice, drop of her tear fell into the picture, trying to fight back the tears she put the picture back. She stood up and looked at the door.

Dana: What am I doing here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Fundraising place….

Dana walked through the crowd of people that’s trying to taste some of the wonderful selection of dishes. She spotted Lara with another chef together. She saw how they looked at eachother, she knew Lara was flirting with her and she knew the other chef was flirting back. She turned around and started walking back.

Dana: What the ***** am I doing here?
