Bette: Yeah you do.

Some girl walked past Shane and Shane smiled.

Bette: My point.

Shane: Bette, what are you talking about? She was just being nice!

The girl came back around with a beer.

Girl: So is it Shane? Got a girlfriend?

Shane shook her head no.

Girl: Good.

She went to kiss Shane but Shane stuck the back of her hand in the girls face before she kissed her. Shane was leaning back, looking freaked.

Shane: I’ve got a wife!

The girl pouted and walked away.

Bette just looked at Shane. Shane stuck her arms out.

Shane: What? I didn’t do anything!

Bette: You don’t have to.

Just then Kit came by and hugs went around.

Shane: Great show.

Kit: Thanks, who was that girl with you two? I swear to go it was you Shane!

Shane smiled and pointed over to Alex on the dance floor.

Shane: Kit, Meet Alexandra McCutcheon.

Kit: That’s her?

Shane nodded as Alex walked over and Shane gave her a high five.

Kit: So I finally get to meet the famous Alexandra McCutcheon.

Alex: Hi, and please just Alex.

Kit gave her a hug.

Shane: You guys ready to head back?

Bette, and Kit nodded. Alex yawned.

Shane: Alright, kiddo come on we’ll meet you guys at the house?

Bette: Yeah

Both groups parted ways and Alex climbed into the car with Shane.

Shane: Have a good time?

Alex nodded and yawned.

Alex: Thanks for letting me stay.

Shane: No problem, just don’t tell Madre.

Alex nodded and closed her eyes.

Shane smiled, she never knew she could feel so alive and love life so much. She was truly happy.

FLASHBACK

Shane stared at the blazing fire as the flames engulfed the homeless shelter. A single tear fell down her cheek. An old woman walked by, covered in soot.

Woman: It’s a shame isn’t it?

Shane nodded and her head dropped.

Woman: Oh dear, don’t you fret! Good times will come.

Shane shook her head.
