INTERIOR-JENNY’S HOUSE
CARMEN
(at the door)
Hi, Jenny.
JENNY
Carmen. It’s so good to see you. Come in.
CARMEN steps just inside of the door. JENNY walks over to CARMEN and hugs her, ushers her in, and shuts the door behind her. SHANE hasn’t said anything, is leaning against the counter, avoiding eye contact with CARMEN.
JENNY
Have a seat, you want something to drink?
CARMEN
No, thanks.
JENNY
How’ve you been?
CARMEN
Good. I’ve been good. Working a lot. I heard about Lez Girls.
JENNY
Oh yeah. Bad stuff?
CARMEN
Well…yeah. But that’s good for you.
JENNY
It’s exciting.
JENNY looks over at SHANE who hasn’t moved since CARMEN walked in. Awkwardness fills the kitchen.
JENNY
I’m actually working on some rewrites right now, so I’m gonna go. But we have to catch up. Do you want to get lunch sometime this week.
CARMEN
Yeah, that would be good.
JENNY
I’ll call you.
JENNY touches SHANE on the arm, makes gentle eye contact, and silently mouths the words: “YOU’RE OKAY.” to SHANE before exiting to her room.
JENNY
Good night.
CARMEN
Goodnight.
SHANE
Night.
(tension filled silence)
CARMEN
Aren’t you going to say anything?
SHANE
How’ve you been?
CARMEN
Fuck you!
SHANE looks down at the floor.
CARMEN
I’m sorry. This was a bad idea, it’s late.
(gathers her bags and gets up to leave)
SHANE
No, no Carmen. I’m sorry. Don’t leave. We should talk.
CARMEN thinks about it for a second and sits back down. SHANE sits down across from CARMEN.
SHANE
Really, how’ve you been?
CARMEN
Honestly, fucked up.
SHANE
(raises her beer) Well, cheers.
CARMEN
I heard about your Dad, I’m sorry.
SHANE
It’s okay.
(looks down at the table.)
Silence. Both CARMEN and SHANE are struggling to make eye contact.
CARMEN
Did you go to the funeral?
SHANE
It’s on Thursday.
CARMEN
You should go.
SHANE
Yeah.
(Tense beat)
CARMEN
Why…why did you leave, why did you leave me standing there like that?
SHANE
I got scared.
CARMEN
Scared of what?
SHANE looks directly at CARMEN. Sad, but profound sincerity emanates from SHANE’S eyes.
SHANE
Disappointing you.
CARMEN begins to laugh. SHANE just stares at her. Through her laughter, CARMEN begins crying with her hand over her mouth.

So…how long before Carmen finds out? And what will be the final outcome here? Lotsa irons in the fire now–what’s gonna happen with Max & Dax? So intriguing, this little story of yours!
The cast gets bigger and bigger. So when does We-Ho get the buzz about B&S.
Alice better keep her mouth shut. If she truly is a good friend then she needs to be quiet. Great interesting story. PPS.
I like the new, different plot twists. Jenny with power? Watch out, Tina’s gonna blow!! Thanks!
Very interesting story this. Looking forward to more.
Why do people want Bette and Tina to get back together so badly?Thank you so much for reading my story. I’m having lots of fun. :)
*standing in front of Cme* You are opening up a can of worms there, mam with that question….hehehe. Indeed, you do have quite a few irons in the fire…lot’s of stuff simmering. I suspect something is going to boil over soon!! Great inner dialog for Al about connecting Bette and Shane on the chart…lol!!
