Liz sat on the chair as River stood behind her curling her hair. River looked in the mirror as she finished a curl.

"So.." She says as she parts another piece of hair, "Dakota and I are probably gonna go on a road trip for our anniversary."

"Really?" Liz says softly as she looks at River in the mirror

"Yeah." She nods

"That's cool." She mumbles. River sighs as Liz looks down at her hands

"What's wrong?" Liz looks up as River starts another curl.

"Nothing really. Just thinking about how this is more than likely our last night all together in this house." River smiles sympathetically, "I've spent the last 18 summers here and now it's just done?"

"It's not just done." River shakes her head, "There's still a chance to save it."

"A very slim one. Just like Skye said." Liz scoffs, "Julia really just came in and completely ruined our lives."

"Well.." River says as she sets the curling iron down. She takes Liz's hair and pushes it to the front over her shoulders, "That's why we're gonna get drunk, just like Dakota said, and act like this morning and last night never happened." She shrugs. Liz smiles as she nods.

Liz laughs as Dakota grimaces from taking his shot. He cheers as Jeremiah shakes his shoulders.

"I'll be back." She yells over the music. River nods as she turns back to Dakota. She walks through the house and smiles as she sees Belly. The girl smiles wides as she skates up to her.

"Liz!"

"Hey, Bells." She laughs

"Come say hi to the girls." Belly says as she takes Liz's hand

"What girls?" She frowns. Belly takes her hand and leads her into another room. Liz smiles as the deb girls greet her.

"Hey, Liz." Nicole says

"Hey, guys."

"Oh my god, I love your boots. They're so cute."

"Thank you." Liz smiles as she spins around showing off her turquoise leopard print dress with flared sleeves and white go-go boots, "You guys look so cute, too." The girls smile as they thank her. Liz puts her hand on Belly's arm, "I'm actually on the hunt for a drink, but I'll see you guys later."

"Yeah, I'll come with you. I'm all out." She says as she holds up her empty bottle. Liz nods as she and Belly turn away.

"Liz, Liz, Liz." She hears. She turns and sees Conrad waving her over.

"Yeah?"

"Come here. Steven's gonna take a picture."

"Ooh. Here." Steven says as they stand in front of a wall. Belly smiles before she skates off to find more alcohol.
