“Just….. great.  I guess it’s a good thing I don’t have that much stuff.”

I suppose it is. I don’t even know why we have to switch roommates again. 

Wow. Do you like — care about the guy at all. I mean, is that good news or just meh news?

No, not at all. I mean he’s a great guy and is very good looking but we have nothing in common. I mean the news were meh at first but after a few days of screaming the news became good news. 

You’re really pregnant then? Wow. How did that happened?

I really am. Well uh I met a guy, we played a game, one thing lead to another and now here I am with this little peanut inside of me. 

“Honestly, I think food has always been your best friend as you need it as one of your factors to live.”

You have a point, my friend. It’s just that lately I can handle no human contact as long as I have some food with me. That can’t be healthy but oh well. 

That’s a bittersweet friendship to have.

I agree but in my current situation [ looks down at her baby bump ] I think it’s okay. 

“How is anyone supposed to get any sleep when the stars are so bright and wonderful? … Alright, it may also have something to do with the entire bag of marshmallows I ate earlier.”

Is it bad that you just reminded me of little Anna from Frozen?

Great, more for me. 

Enjoy. I’ll stick to water. 

Oh. Working at the bar could be my secret identity?

Yes! That way no one knows who the detective is. See it works out perfectly. 

Maybe I should be the island detective instead of going Coyote Ugly?

Why not do both?

I’m glad you corrected that or I would have really questioned my fashion sense… not that I have any fashion sense. 

Oh no. You look great and had you not told me that you were fashionably impaired I would have never known. Then again I’m not the most fashionable person here. 

I think they’re too busy looking at your every-growing you-know-whats to notice the bump underneath, Lina.

Hmm I guess you just solved the mystery. 

It’s a virgin. A kiddie cocktail, actually. Sprite and grenadine. You sure you don’t want it?

Oh. Then of course I do. I had never been to something this nice and waiters keep offering me drinks. Can’t they see how big I’m getting? 

You can’t have water? Here I thought it was alcohol what pregnant women couldn’t have. 

Oh it’s water? Sorry. It’s just that a lot of waiters have been offering me drinks. Not that I thought you were a waiter. Thank you. 

I-uh… guess the rumors are true then… umm, congrats..” 

Yeah... not so much rumors if they’re the truth. More like news. [ Smiles ] Thank you.
