Chapter Text
Jane and Alison are jogging along the sidewalk, when after sudden burst of energy Jane speeds up then suddenly stops to take a swig from her water bottle. She waits for Alison to catch up who needs to rest the cramping muscles in her legs.
Alison could tell Jane was hiding something and couldn’t wait to spill it. Jane kept smiling secretively with all this sudden energy barely contained.
“Do you know why I cut my hair off this way, Alison?”
Alison shook her head as she took a small sip from her water bottle.
Jane ran her fingers through her close cropped head. She felt the short, fuzzy hair tickle against her hand. “I couldn’t take it anymore. All those losers I was with: Michael, Robert, Chris, Richard, Jake and then Michael again. I made a realization then I had enough!” Jane let the moment savor before letting it all out.
“I’m…..a lesbian!” The words all came rushing out. Alison gaped, almost dropping her water bottle. Jane nodded with a smug grin as she waited for Alison’s response, while at the same time didn’t mind if Alison cared or not.
Alison decides to drop the next bomb, “But, but….I’m a lesbian too!”
Jane lets out a happy squeal and so does Alison as they both jump up to gave each other congratulatory hugs. Jane admitted she always was attracted to Alison and how they both have a lot in common. They finish their morning jog and kept smiling at each other as they jogged back to the apartment building.
Jane and Alison cool down in Jane’s apartment, wiping the sweat from their foreheads and stretching out their muscles.
Alison pushes back her hair out nervously. “This is all new to me. What do lesbians do anyway?”
Jane turns towards her and replies, “They kiss.” Jane begins to show Alison how lesbians kiss.
Sydney approaches Jane’s door, while wearing one of her latest, colorful, 1960s-inspired outfits, with the giddy desire to tell Jane something that will piss her off. Sydney smiles to herself at how easy it is to be able to get under Jane’s skin, as she opens the door to walk into the room but stops dead in her tracks. On the sofa, Jane is kissing another person and it’s with the building’s goody two shoes, Alison.
Sydney makes an audible gasp as Jane and Alison look up to turn to see who interrupted them. She then claps a hand over her mouth and slowly backs up to the door.
“Oh….Oh….Jane….IjustwantedtodropbyandtellyousomethinginprivatebutIseethatyourebusyandwanttobealonesoI’lljustbeleavingnow!” She slams the door behind her.
“OHMYGOD!!” Sydney looks around the courtyard to make sure no one else is present and then runs to her car, yanks open the door then quickly hops into it. “I have to tell Michael about this!”
She speeds off to Burns-Mancini.
