ALICE MULLER paced back and forth as she waited for Ricky and Big Red to get out of the bathroom.
"What's taking so long?" She called out to them, "Did Big Red accidently flush his pants down the toilet... again? Red, honey, lock the door and put an 'out of order' sign on it while I grab your spare pants from my locker."
"Okay, first, it was one time. Second, the automatic flusher went off in the middle of it. And third, that was the last time I wore tear away pants," Big Red explained as he and Ricky walked out of the bathroom.
Alice was about to make another comment when a smell in the air caused her to krinkle her nose in disgust. "Uh, what is that smell?"
"You like?" Ricky asked with a hopeful smile.
"You smell like a middle school boy still learning what a little spray of cologne means."
"It's pheromones," Ricky said as he held up the little bottle, "It's a key component in my plan to get Nini."
"How? By having her retinas burn out from the smell so she confuses you and EJ?"
"Just you watch, Wonderland," Ricky chuckled as he threw an arm over her shoulder, leading her down the hallway as they head to the readthrough. "Nini gets one whiff and she'll be all over me."
"If you don't get at least ten feet away from me, my throw up will be all over you."

"Could everyone take their assigned seats?" Ms. Jenn announced as Alice walked into the drama room. She rolled her eyes as she plopped down in the desk marked 'Kelsi' next to Ashlyn. Ally watched as EJ tried to switch his and Ricky's name tags so he could sit next to Nini, but was stopped by a dirty look from Ashyln.
"Ha ha, you have to sit next to your girlfriend's ex," Alice teased.
"Who is Natalie and why do I care if her glands are swollen?" Ms. Jenn questioned.
