"It looks like one is and one isn't" Hannah said, like an entomologist examining a new type of beetle. "I dunno, there's something really fucking weird going on there."

"You're drunk, sweetie" Shelly told her.

"I can tell you one thing for sure, though, that's not her natural skin-tone."

"What, bronze?" Sacha scoffed. "It's like she won third place at the tanning salon."

"She reminds me of a Dr. Who monster" Shelly said. "I mean old Dr. Who. I mean I think I saw a monster on it when I was a kid which was that colour."

Hannah looked at Sacha, and then at the kid. "Who's your friend, Sash?" she asked.

"Is that your girlfriend?" the kid asked Hannah, pointing at Shelly.

"Yeah" Hannah said.

"Can you two make out?" the kid asked eagerly.

"Fuck off" Hannah said cheerfully.

"Go talk to Little Miss Metallurgy over there" Sacha told the kid.

"Little Miss what? That's not a word" the kid answered.

"Seriously Sacha, who the fuck is this?" Hannah asked, not caring if the kid heard her or not.

"I don't know" Sacha said. "Hey kid, you got a name?"

"Don't call me kid!" the kid complained.

"Does it make you feel bad? Go talk to Bronze & Plastic over there, I'm sure she'll comfort you."

"My name's Sean" the kid said.

"I really don't care" Sacha answered him.

"Well fuck you, then" the kid said. "Happy New fucking Year."

"Yeah, you too kid" Sacha said.

"'Bye Sean!" Hannah called out. "If you get lucky with Bronzy, let me know if she's that colour all over!"

Sean stomped off and Shelly shook her head at Sacha and Hannah. "You two are terrible!" she said.

"Hey Sacha," Hannah said, "what's your New Year's Resolution?"

"I dunno," Sacha said. "I think maybe to do more of this."
