“That’s exactly it, Carmen’s not just any woman, she’s THE WOMAN. I really think she’s the ONE. And it was easy when there was no emotional involvement, but I love Carmen, I love her so much my heart feels like its bursting out of my chest when I see her. You really think she’ll take me back though?” Shane revealed her innermost feelings.

“I’m glad you saw what everyone is able to see, that Carmen is your perfect match. Haha, Shane, like I said, no doubts about it, Carmen will take you back. And you need to do this for her too, she’s been burying herself in work, taking gig after gig, to avoid thinking about you and the possibility of you being with other girls. She’s also avoided The Planet, unless absolutely necessary. She’s not herself anymore, and you caused that. Now you have to fix it. Come on, let’s get out there and claim your woman. Just go out there, and tell her you love her before anything else.” Bette told Shane.

Shane stood up, saying determinedly “Yeah, I’ll do this for Carmen and for myself. For us. Besides, if I go out there and see her with someone else, I’ll just die. So I need to do it soon. Why not now?”

Bette smiled “That’s my Shaney. Come on, let’s do this!”

In the meantime, Tina had made her way to the DJ Booth and stood there waiting for Carmen to finish the current song.

“Hey Tina, didn’t see you there. So sorry, how are you? You and Bette still going strong?” Carmen apologized as she set the next few songs, before turning to face Tina.

“Hey Carmen, it’s alright. I’m fine, better than fine really. And yes, we’re stronger than ever, I believe.” Tina said with a smile.

“Good for you, I’m really happy for you. Now if only Shane could see that me and her could be just as good.” Carmen said as her smile slowly disappeared.

“Well, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about.” Tina seized the chance.

“Huh? What do you mean?”  Carmen was confused.

“Well, we know that our breakup affected Shane and that’s one of the major reasons why she broke up with you. She’s scared, scared that she’ll mess up just like Bette and I did, and that she’ll hurt you. She absolutely doesn’t want that to happen, which led to her pushing you away. She needs to see that she’s different from Bette and I, she’ll never hurt you, she loves you too much for that to happen. And now that she can see what happened with Bette and me, she’ll be more careful.” Tina explained.
