Alice: Okay whatever..see ya..

Alice shut the door and leans on it and sighs.

Alice: …have fun….

That night……..
There were lots of people dancing, talking, eating, drinking..

Shane, Carmen, Jenny, Bette and Tina arrives. Shane presses the doorbell..

Bette: Hey Shane where’s Alice?

Tina: Yeah where is she?

Shane: (looks at Carmen then looks back at Batte and Tina waiting for their answer) Um..she got other plans.

Bette: Oh..okay..too bad she’s not here.

The door opens, it was Dana

Dana: Hey guys! Come in (gives them all a hug)

Dana stops Shane.

Dana: Hey Shane..how’s Alice?

Shane: Yeah um she’s fine she said she said she got other plans

Dana just nods.

Bette, Carmen, Tina, Jenny and Shane greets Lara happy birthday and hands her their gifts..

Meanwhile…

Alice is sitting on her bed jiggling her keys.

Alice: (stands up and walks towards the door) Ah ***** it..

She hops into her car and drove away.

Couple of minutes later she stops at the front of Lara’s house, she sees Dana and Lara chatting to some people from the window. She suddenly opens the door of her car and hops out, jealousy in her eyes. She goes around the house and enters the back door. There were couples kissing and talking, she managed to bust through and she grabs herself a glass of wine.

Alice: What a party.

Suddenly Dana stands up and klinks her wine glass with a fork..Alice looks up trying to hide her face from them.

Dana: Excuse everybody I have a special announcement to make..

Every turns around and looks at them.

Dana: As we all know it’s Lara’s birthday today (everyone claps and woohoo’s) but to make this day more special..she has been accepted to the Cooking Competition in New York!

Everyone claps and says congratulations to her..

Alice: (to herself sarcastically) So special…(take a long sip of wine)

Dana: ..and I Dana Fairbanks would be coming with her and support her along the way..!

Alice: (spits out her wine) WHAT?!

Everyone turns to the back of the room. Shane looks on and walks over to her.

Alice: (still standing there motionless) YOUR WHAT?!

Dana: (whispers) Oh *****…

Shane grabs her quickly and walks her outside, Dana walks over to them and Lara trying to turn the crowds attention.

Shane: Alice what are you doing?

Dana: (walking outside)(shouting) What are you doing here?!

Alice: Why wasn’t I invited?!

Dana: Coz your doing this..what is wrong with you?!!!

Alice: I’m hurt Dana! I’m ***** hurt!!And now your saying your going to New York! What’s next marraige?!

Dana: I can do anything with my life, Alice!!

Alice: Well I can’t let you leave!! Dana, i love you!!

Dana: Of course I can!! We are not together any more Alice…….!!

Alice looks hurt and tears are starting to come..

Dana: …I don’t love you anymore..!

Tears go down Alice’s eyes.

Dana: You can’t have everything that you want, your not the queen of the world! No one is!

Alice looks up at her and looks her in the eyes.

Alice: Your the queen of my world…

Dana looks at her and tears welled up in her eyes, Alice turns around and runs to her car.

Dana: (nearly crying) Alice…
