Danas Place


Dana: Where is she?

Shane flopped down onto the couch and placed both her feet on the coffee table, looking so cool as ever.

Shane: She just called. Shell be here any minute.

Dana walking around with a cat nip on her hand, making cat noises looking of Mr. Piddles.

Dana: Meoooww…Mr. Piddles? Where are you? Cmon over her to mommy. Auntie Shane is here and she wants to give you kitty smoochies! Or should I say ***** cat smoochies!

Shane: I want to give her what?!

Dana: Cmere Piddles…Senor P…where is my little kitty at?

Shane: Howd you come up with that name anyways?

Dana: Alice did. I was originally a dog person, but then Alice couldnt find a cheap dog to give to me and so the cat.

Shane: Cheap *****, huh?

Dana: Still is. At first I wanted to name him Poddle, but then Al said that it might confuse the cat you know. So thats why Piddles, Mr. Piddles.

Shane: Right…it might get confuse…so does Mr. P have a first name? Ive been meaning to ask that for years but I always forget.

Dana: Its actually Mister believe it or not.

Shane: No *****.

Dana: You dont believe? Ive got the certificate to show you. Its somewhere upstairs so remind me to go get it before we leave.

Shane: This I gots to see.

Dana: Oh there you are. You look so fat Mister Piddles…(in her best Spanish accent) my fat Senor Mister Piddles.

Shane: Doesnt that confuses him?

Dana: What?

Shane: The (imitating Danas thick southern accent) Senor and the Mister.

Dana: Hmmyoure right. Ok. Then what about Senor (switched to French accent) Monsieur Piddles!!! Cmere you little cutie.

Shane: Hate to break to you again, Dane. But thats actually the same thing, but then its in Spanish and French.

Dana: Oh dont worry about it. Sir Piddles here ispoly-lingual.

Shane: Poly-lingual?

Dana: Yeah…poly means many…

Shane: Hey I know what it means, but how could you be so sure?

Dana: He is! You dont need to know for sure. I talk to him in different languages all the time. You know, to also prepare myself when I go on tour. He speaks English, Spanish and French, wellFranish I call it. And then the cat meow thing!

Mr. Piddles: Meow…

Dana: See…meow.

Shane: God, where is Alice?

Just then Alice came busting inside heavily panting and looking like a mess.

Alice: Sorry kids…traffic out there was a killer. But Im here now, are yall ready. Got the props and everything.

Shane: Im so ready.

Dana: Yeahjust gimme a sec to say goodbye to my big baby here..

Dana made her meow talk with her lovely cat and adjusted her very bright red polka dot sundress and attempted to fix her hair. Shane on the other hand, had her aviator glasses already put on, patted down her blazer from the cat hairs and fixed her cute red tie that matched Danas dress.

Shane: Do we really have to go like this?

Alice: Ahh…yup. Ready to rock and roll? I mean you both got your lines down and everything right? Maybe we should do over the hand signals again…

Dana: No time.

Alice: Fine. This is a first. Im actually nervous.

Shane: No way…

Alice: Ya huh! Im actually doing the deed here. Im the spotlight this time. Usually Im behind the curtains you know. Im the spy. I get to wear the cool outfits and use all my great liners. You, Shane youre the spy tonight. And I want to warn you, my friend that its a different level than I usually assign to you and there are a lot of responsibilities. Please just make the right calls and do want is best. But if you decide to change the plan, please let me know tho, use the special distress call if there is a changed of plans.

Shane: I got it. Its going to go smooth.

Dana: Why cant I be there, high ranked up with Shane?

All three started walking towards the door.

Alice: Huh? Ease up Julia, straight posture. And straight all the way. Youre a lady tonight.

Shane: Are you ready, Miss Roberts? reaching up and taking hold of Danas hand.

Dana: Right behind you, Mr. Moder

Alice: Maybe we should change the code names.

Shane: Yeah…its too famous.

Alice: Got it. Dana, youre Hazel. And Shane, youre obviously a Phineas.

Shane: (big sigh) Fineee…Ill be Phineas…(muttering to herself as they got out of Danas house) Phineas…whod name their kid that? It sounds like the real thing.

They reached the mini and Danas Subaru and Shanes truck. Alice started loading variable props from her car to Danas. some clothes, toys, baby car seat…you know.

Alice: These rights here are essential. Please dont lose any of it.

Dana: How would I lose a car seat? Hmm…

Alice: Alright. Huddle up…

Shane and Dana looked at each other and then looked seriously at Alice.

Alice: Fine. Stand where you are. So heres another go at the plan. I just found out that Im meeting Shannon at the Benihana restaurant. So follow my mini and stay behind (pointing at Dana.) Then give me about a good ten minutes before you guys enter the restaurant. Well be dining at the Hibachi section and so try to pass our way and sit next to our table or better yet, sit at our table. Do not make eye contact unless its safe. Plan A will start from that point on. Please be cuddly enough to be a real couple. And dont kissI might choke on a shrimp or something.

The lovely couple both nodded at every last sentence Alice had say. Not really paying attention since they already had the plan memorized coz theyve heard it all week from Alice. Shane was still a little concerned about her code name and Danas just plain bored and couldnt wait till this little mission of Alices is done and over with.



Meanwhile at Bette and Tinas place….

Both ladies are getting ready to go out for dinner and drinks.

Tina: So where are we going tonight?

Bette: I dont know. Im feeling spontaneous. Lets play it by fateor wherever my car runs out of gas or by the sound of your growling stomach.

Tina: FunnyOh yeah. James stopped by while you were in the bathroom and left a bouquet of flowers. Its in the kitchen. I know hes man, but Im jealous. He gave you flowers and a card.

Bette: Please Tina…James? Hes ***** you know. Gave Tina a quick kiss on the cheek and headed towards the kitchen.

Tina: No way! Well…that sorta explains the weird facial hair…

Bette admired the pretty flowers and smiled. She picked up the card on top of it and read it.

Boss Lady Bette,

Thanks for giving me the unannounced time off last week. I really appreciated that. Next time it wont be unannounced, I promise. Enjoy the flowers and heres a little gift certificate to let you know how much I like working for you, not the CAC, but for you.

James.


Tina came up from behind and read the card as well.

Tina: Thats nice. Whats the gift certificate for?

Bette: Restaurant. Oh wanna go tonight?

Tina: Oh yes! Ive been dying for some Japanese food!
