Yeah, but she Dana? Shane wanted to know if maybe there was something more there. She could see it, but was not sure if the two of them saw it too.

            I know. Shane was not sure of the comments meaning.

            Hey what are you to smiling about? Dana asked looking at the two of them.

            Nothing Alice said pulling out her camera.

            Yeah Shane said taking a sip of her beer.

            Hey Dane

            Yeah?

            Smile Alice said taking a picture of an unready Dana. Nice Face.

            Al Dana whined.

            Come on it was funny. Alice said poking Shane in the ribs.

            Yeah, really funnyhey I got an idea. Shane said.

            What is your idea? Dana asked.

            Yes, almighty Yoda, our Jedi master. What is your grand idea? Alice said as Dana moved closer to Alice.

            Can I have your Camera Al? Shane asked as Alice handed her the camera. Smile She said as she took a picture of unready Alice and Dana. Now that was funny.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~          

              They had so much fun that day. Shane just always thought that comment was just a comment. But as time went by, she thought more of that comment, and more of everything that went on between the two. Until the night at the strip club, she knew what she was thinking was not just thoughts, but that they became real things. Damn I must really be Yoda she thought when they finally did end up together.

            Shane? Alice said pulling Shane out of her thoughts.

            Al, what happened, for real? I do not want any of this bullshit, that nothing is wrong. Because I can see that there is, and come on you are hung over like you drank an ocean full of vodka. Shane said as Alice sat next to her.

            It was an ocean full of scotch.

            Alice

            I broke up with her. Alice said quietly. Shanes eyes opened widely, in shock. Dont give me that look. Alice said harshly.

            But why? Shane was for a loss of words. She could not believe that Alice would break up with Dana. She knew how much Alice loved Dana. That Dana was everything to her.

            Because she would leave me and I would be heart broken it is better this way. Alice said with tears in her eyes. It was killing her, to watch Shane face look so sad. This way we can still be friends.

            You think she would leave you? Shane asked.

            Yes, I know she will. She still loves Lara

            Shane got mad at this comment. How can you think that? Do you not see how much she loves, you. And only you.

            Shane do not try and change my mind. This is how is.

              Alice, you are just going to give up, because you think that she is going to leave you. Shane wanted Alice to really think about what she did.

            Shane I do not have to explain this to you. It was my choice.

            Butwhat about Dana. Shane could not believe two of her best friends were not together.

            Shane! Alice was getting mad that Shane would not just drop it. Lets just go shopping ok?

            Shopping. Shopping! You want to go shopping now.

            Yes, and if you do not want to go then leave. Alice could not believe that this was the second time in two days that she was telling one of her best friends to leave her apartment.

            Al, are you serious? Shane was hurt. She could not understand why Alice was pushing her away.

            Yes

            Fine, call me when you cool down.

            Yeahand Shane?

            Yes?

            Can you tell everyone to come to the planet tomorrow around threeeveryone except Dana.

            Al, I can not

            Please Alice said showing the pain her eyes.

            Sure Al. Shane said giving Alice a hug. Call me

            Okay. Alice shut the door to her apartment. She crawled back into bed, to sleep the rest of the day. She just wanted to hide from the world. She felt like *****.
