Taking one of those cone-shaped plastic cups from her pocket, Alex placed it on Chewie's head. Decorating the cup was colourful circles as Alex deftly photographed the chinchilla just before the hat fell off.
Alex: Yay! Good Chewie! Ready to partay?
Alex flopped onto the couch as Chewie cuddled in her lap. Turning her head, Alex grinned.
Alex: Thanks again guys, for letting me stay. Especially after the...awkwardness.
Kenzi and Hannah both smiled slightly at Alex as Kenzi's black eye was still slightly visible from the punch Hannah landed after finding out Alex and Kenzi had kissed. Sympathy had allowed Alex to stay and Kenzi and Hannah stayed friends but it literally had left its mark.
Kenzi: So...what are we watching?
Alex: It's called Doctor Who.
Kenzi: Who?
Alex: Exactly.
Kenzi: No, I mean, who?
Alex: Yes. Doctor Who.
Hannah: You guys are just like Abbott and Costello.
Alex: Who?
Hannah just laughs as Alex looks on confused. There are some things about America she just didn't get.
Alex:...anyway it's about a guy called The Doctor. He's a Time Lord from Gallifrey. He travels around in a TARDiS with a companion and they go around sorting all kinds of problems involving aliens and such. Got it?
Kenzi: No...but I'm sure I will.
Alex gleefully pushes play on the remote and all three watch for a few moments.
Hannah: What's that thing?
Alex: Oh, that's the TARDiS.
Hannah: Doctor Who's a policeman?
Alex: No...it looks like a police box.
Kenzi: Doesn't he always end up going in the wrong box?
Alex: You'd think so, but we don't really have police boxes in England any more. Kind of a weird disguise, I guess.
Hannah: Oh, my god.
Alex: What is it, Hannah-nana?
Hannah: That's Amy!
Alex: No, that's Clara. Amy was the Doctor's companion before Clara.
Hannah: No...I mean, that's Amy Drew!
Kenzi squints at the screen before she looks similarly surprised.
Kenzi: Okay, that's seriously freaky.
Alex: I don't see it.
Kenzi: You're not wearing your glasses, though.
Alex: Darn, you're right. Hold on.
Alex scarpers off as Kenzi smiles watching her go. Hannah just looks amused at Kenzi.
Hannah: Boy, you've got it bad.
Kenzi: I just find it funny how she flits about everywhere.
Hannah: Yeah...that and her ass does its own special jiggle.
Kenzi shrinks back into the couch, self-conscious.
Kenzi: Didn't notice.
Hannah: So...any idea what's going on?
Kenzi: I don't know, Hannah. I mean, I could never imagine feeling this way about another woman. Every time I see Alex, it's like my heart is skipping. The other night, she looked so pretty...I actually found myself struggling to breathe. I mean, who does that?
Hannah: Ummmm...I meant the show.
Kenzi: Oh, god no. Alex seems to love it, though. It's her last night. Let's just give her what she wants.
Alex: I'm all for that.
Both Kenzi and Hannah jump back in shock as Alex makes her shock return in her glasses. The thick lenses make her normally big eyes look HUGE. The effect is equal parts hilarious and adorable.
Alex: No...still, don't see it.
Hannah: With those things you could probably see through walls!
Alex: They're pretty chunky, huh? Budge up.
Alex climbs over the back of the couch and onto the seat. She then snuggles up against Kenzi without a second thought. It takes Kenzi a second to catch on, and then goes to shrug her off, before just letting her be. Hannah just looks amused and slightly touched by the sweetness of the two unrequited lovers...as well as wondering how long it will take before they both realise they like each other. She then twitches a little before she stands.
Hannah: I've gotta pee.
Alex: Do you want me to pause it? You might not be able to follow the rest when you come back.
Hannah: You know...I don't think you'll have to worry about me following. You two girls enjoy.
Hannah leaves as Alex smiles.
Alex: I know she punched you in the face, but she's a nice girl, that Hannah.
Kenzi: Yeah...I guess she is.
Alex: So what's going to happen with you guys? Is that it?
Kenzi: Sorry?
Alex: Are you breaking up? Because of me?
Kenzi: I don't know what we are, Al, but if we do break up it won't be because of you.
Alex: Good...I just don't want her hating me.
Kenzi: Hannah? Hannah thinks the world of you!
Alex: She laughs at me.
Kenzi: Well, you amuse her with your nerdy ways. That doesn't mean she doesn't like you.
Alex:...Kenzi? If you guys do break up...and I don't really want you to...I wouldn't want it to be because I was attracted to-
Kenzi: Hannah? Don't worry about it. I kind of think you'd make a cute couple.
Kenzi almost had to swallow her tongue after her own words left her mouth without even thinking. She'd been insecure about Alex's words about Hannah and even slightly paranoid, but this was a massive shot in her foot.
Alex: Really? I'll keep that in mind. I guess my glances across at her didn't go unnoticed, huh?
Kenzi: *with a hint of bitterness* No...they didn't.
Alex: Maybe I will ask Hannah out. Although...there is someone who would be even better.
Alex then snuggles up even more to Kenzi who is now breathing on Alex's neck they're so close.
AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Alex and Kenzi leap up. Alex in particular looks frightened.
Alex: Oh, god. I hope she's okay.
Alex then runs off towards the bathroom as Hannah stomps out in her bathrobe. Alex looks like she's going to check on Hannah but just runs past her.
Alex: Oh, thank god you didn't turn on the shower. It's okay, Tilly...mummy was just being silly. What was she thinking?
Kenzi: Tilly?
Hannah practically bolts again as Alex leaves the bathroom holding Tilly in her hand. Who is Tilly? Why she's Tilly Tarantula. The large and furry arachnid runs about Alex's arm and Alex smiles at it.
Alex: Sorry. I bought her a couple of days ago and forgot to tell you. She's an adventurous little thing and she likes to wander.
Hannah: That thing has been walking around her for the last couple of days?
Alex: Usually only when Chewie was in his carrier. I can't trust the two together. Chewie could eat anything.
Kenzi: I wouldn't bet against Chewie being a meal for that thing.
Alex: That thing is a living creature.
Kenzi: So why have you bought a tarantula?
Alex: I always wanted one and hearing Amy Drew go on about them gave me some inspiration. I've never really understood why people are scared of spiders and tarantulas. Yes, some are poisonous, but most of them are perfectly harmless. Even cute.
Hannah: Yeah...looks like a real sweetheart.
Alex: Tilly's a good girl. Come on, Tilly. Let's put you in your box.
Alex wanders away with Tilly walking up her arm and even onto her face, making Hannah almost puke. Alex then goes inside of her makeshift room and places Tilly in her box before looking to camera as she takes off her glasses.
Alex: I suppose that answers your question, Amy. I got nothing against spiders or tarantulas...which are technically different. Just sayin'. Now, I've had my run ins with the trans-Atlantic Drew clan and you're right. The other week I went against Jennifer Drew and got laid out. It wasn't the proudest night of my career but hey ho.
Alex: And how's Marianne? Gosh, I miss her. We were thick as thieves during her brief time in LAW. See, you and I never had much of a run-in owing to your neck problem so I'm trying to figure you out. Friend or foe? Heck, Pink Ladies aside, Jennifer was rather nice to me until she went loco recently. If you want to be my friend, that's great. If not...
Alex shrugs.
Alex: I can't say it doesn't bother me but it makes no difference to how I face you and that is full-on and no slacking. In your promo you spoke of me as an entertainer and a showboater and...yeah, I am. I like to go out there and make the fans feel good. It makes me feel good and makes everyone all smiley. You talk about your technical abilities, that may be, but I'm no slouchy sloth. I can tangle and roll and as for your aerial expertise. Looky here.
Alex rushes over to a dimmer switch, turning the lights down and opening up a chest of drawers.
Alex: I had these moved over. Seems a little silly, but I find them rather inspiring.
Alex opens up the drawer and what we see are lines and lines of countless medals in bronze, silver and mostly gold.
Alex: I had to turn down the lights because the glare off of these babies onto the camera? Phew! Migraine city. These medals were all won by me between the ages of seven and twenty-one. Fourteen years of medals, I would compete in tournaments across the UK about...oh, once a month and almost always get a medal. Let me figure this out. Last count was...38 bronze, 44 silver and...56 gold medals. Five times annual British Youth Gymnastics Champion and they don't mess around at the BYG. See, I may struggle to walk without tripping over my own feet, but I can fly.
Alex's surprising self-confidence is still held in check by her friendly and completely sincere smile.
Alex: Now you may be the Black Widow, and that's fine. I think we established I like spiders. But we all know that every so often, a fly will come along and try as she might, the spider just won't be able to pin Ms. Fly down. I'd like to think our match might just be such an example. You want to wrap me up in your little web, Spidey? You're gonna have to catch me first and nobody in this company flies like Alex Yin.
Alex laughs and gives a dorky smile.
Alex: Buzz, buzz.
Fade to black.
Alex: Yay! Good Chewie! Ready to partay?
Alex flopped onto the couch as Chewie cuddled in her lap. Turning her head, Alex grinned.
Alex: Thanks again guys, for letting me stay. Especially after the...awkwardness.
