— lights, camera, b* smile.

Then you pick the location and I'll make the time for it. There better be alcohol involved too. Oh? Good to know you still like it.

Mm, city or beach? You can involve alcohol in either, so I'm personally not picky, although I am leaning slightly more towards somewhere beachy. I would also love a spa treatment outside of the Empire. Lucky really, isn't it? You could've made an enemy so easily.

Yeah, no problem I can definitely do that and thank you for your interest in the class, it's not everyday a boss takes safety courses like this seriously. So ut's nice to see.

No problem - thank you for putting the idea out there. Working in a relatively confined space with guests consistently coming in and out, that kind of thing is important. Have you had much interest otherwise?

It's a sapphic club/bar. There is a distinct lack of spaces for non straight women to exist with other non straight women. Of course, anyone is welcome so long as they act right, but sapphics are who we cater to.

Okay, the name threw me off a little bit, but I take back my initial sarcasm, that's actually a really interesting idea. You're right, there aren't enough sapphic spaces. I don't necessarily frequent gay bars, but I've found that on the odd time I have, they've been overrun by either gay men and/or straight women just there for the experience.

PAST YOUR PRIME!? Hey!! I'm a year older than you and I don't feel anywhere near past my prime?

That's because you're spritely and young at heart, I'm an old jaded lady trapped in the body of a thirty-something. See, I'm the opposite—my body aches and pains are minimal, but mentally I'm ready for retirement.

You have such faith in me. It made me weep inside. Why are you devastated?? You and I both know you want to go down that thing just as much as me. Admit it, Molly! ADMIT. ITTTTTT. It'll be this Saturday at 2pm. Throwing in at the city park near the playground so kids can run around and do their thing while their folks chill with burgers and movies. I plan to let it run until 7pm since I need to get to a club afterward.

See, that's the thing, I really don't. I never did a slip-n-slide as a kid, and I feel like any grace I might've had on one would've been back then, so I'm past my prime by now. That sounds doable, I can even be free to help you set up if you need a hand?

I could always use a little time away, but you didn't say you wanted company. I am taking my business seriously, but my family can handle it for a few days, at least I think they can. You used to like me being impossible once upon a time.

I get plenty of alone time outside of work, I'd prefer some company, and it's been a while since I've seen you in person. It could be fun. Did I say I didn't like it now?

Okay, guys, I'm officially posting this to see if you guys have any fun summer activity ideas for a high school teacher trying to live it up for a couple months before heading back to the grind. Don't get me wrong, I feel like I've been doing pretty well keeping myself entertained so far! But I've also only got so many of my own ideas and it's only a matter of time before I run out of 'em, so... help a guy out?

What I wouldn't give for an entire summer off work... I'm assuming simply sleeping and getting constant spa treatments sounds boring to you? That would be my personal idea of summer heaven. Maybe a small vacation?

Alright, so I'm sure it's not news that the first house I looked at a few months ago was not the great deal that I'd been hoping for. But a couple more houses later and with the help of my dads and an awesome friend who made sure that I was doing the best with my mortgage and all that legal stuff, I am officially a home owner! Actually, this all became official like a few weeks ago and with the help of many more friends and family, I'm all moved in and set up! So now I'm trying to decide if I should host a summer BBQ or just a small get together with a few close friends. Either way, it's totally gonna have some sort of fun theme!

Congratulations—homeownership is very exciting, and far more rewarding than renting, as long as you have no major hiccups that you usually would've had your landlord fix. Did Santana have anything to do with finding your house, by any chance? Be careful if so, you might find yourself on Netflix soon.

I'm sorry, Molly. If I hadn't been so busy this week I would have seen this sooner and picked you up. I know my help is beyond needed now, but did you get your car back at least? I think we're due for a catch up soon, if you're free.

Don't worry about it, you know I understand busy just as well as the next person. I appreciate it regardless. I did get it back, it turned out only to be a minor issue, but it was still inconvenient. I'm never free, but for you I can make myself free if you have a date and time in mind?

Oh man, I know that pain well. It's always at the worst time, too. What's wrong with it? And I'm always happy to help, if need be. My mornings are usually pretty quiet until 11 or so.

They do have a knack for knowing exactly the wrong time to break down, don't they? I actually managed to find a ride, but thank you. I really appreciate it. I wouldn't have wanted to take up your only quiet time, anyway. Sounds like you're a busy man.

Oh, right. You do need a little getaway then, so you should take one soon. I don't buy that, but I'll let it slide. For now.

You're not offering to come with me? Wow, you must be taking this new business venture seriously. You're impossible. Yes, let it go.

Private:

— private.

That sounds like something the fire department would potentially be interested in. Let me talk to my supervisor's and see what they would suggest. Or, I can give you their information and you can make your interest in the course known.

That makes sense, yes. Speak to them for me, then if you don't mind passing on my details, that would be very helpful. My business number is [###].

That depends. It can be regal or ratchet, Babes is an experience, and that experience can be chill or wild. It can cater to those on a budget or those with no budget. So the atmosphere depends on what you want out of your night.

Sounds versatile. So what actually is Babes? You know, aside from all of the above. In plain terms, what is it?

You need a little getaway already? Are you sure everything's okay, Molls?

What do you mean "already"? The joys of Bearcreek might still be new to you, but I've been stuck here for years. I told you, Santana, I'm fine. I could just use a break from work, that's all.
