As Cosima burst out laughing and added, "And why would a cop like you let Alison who is clearly not a cop, use your cuffs? Especially without trying them out first?"

"Shut up, Nerdhaus," Beth snapped, standing up quickly and facing the student. "You came early."

"And you didn't get to come at all," Cosima shot back, causing another wave of hysterical laughter to hit her. She was practically tearing up. "Least not yet, anyways."

"Cosima fucking Niehaus!" Beth hissed, scowling at her.

"Oooh... Pretty sure you just called out the wrong name," Cosima smirked, provoking her even more. "I bet Alison doesn't like that."

"I will beat your ass so hard, Nerdhaus," Beth threatened, but Cosima knew the threat was empty. Alison covered her face, just wanting to die right down the spot.

"I didn't know you were into that sorta stuff too—"

"Cosima!" Alison exasperatedly interrupted, tearing her hands away from her face. "Stop."

"Okay, okay!" Cosima raised her hands defensively. "I'm not judging. I'm totally cool with whatever you want to do. Next time, just... Don't cut it so close, okay?"

Cosima chuckled a few more times. Before going to clean up the broken glass and the water. Alison and Beth exchanged a glance before Alison went over to the myopic clone.

"Do not tell a single soul about this," Alison told her harshly.

"Who do I have to tell?"

"I don't know, just don't."

"What? You think I'm gonna just walk up to a poor, random unsuspecting soul and say, 'Hey, did you know that last night my clones, my- my genetic identicals, are sleeping together—by the way they have a handcuff fetish.' Like, what normal person would say that stuff about anyone?"

"I don't know, just don't say anything," Alison repeated.

"I won't."

"I'm a cop. I gave ways of making people disappear," Beth added.

"Oh grow up," Cosima rolled her eyes at them as she picked up the last few shards. "At least I'm not the one flipping out."

Her statement sunk in and they suddenly grew suspicious.

"Yeah, why are you being so cool about this?"

"Because I think it's cute. Kinda. In a really weird way," Cosima replied as if it were nothing. She had secretly likes the idea of them being a couple months prior, but she never said anything because she thought they would think that it was weird. "I think you both are really adorable together and you guys fit together perfectly. But this is in no way saying that it's okay to make out in front of me, just so you know."

"I'm sorry, you what?" Alison asked, unable to comprehend what the college student had said.

"You guys... Too cute," Cosima repeated, summing it up with a huge smile.

"You breathe a word of this to anyone, and you will never breathe again," Beth reminded her, but she smiled as she said it.

"I swear. What happens in Clone Club. Okay?"

"Yes. What happens in Clone Club," Alison readily agreed. Beth, however wasn't as quick to agree.

"And if we were to find another clone..." Beth stated slowly.

"Okay. So let's fix the statement," Cosima offered. "What happens in the Original Clone Club stays in the Original Clone Club."

"Original," Beth scoffed at the irony of using the word. But Cosima knew this was her way of saying the conditions were okay.

"Okay. So it's settled. You and Alison are officially together and officially under wraps."

"Sure," Beth nodded, seeing no point in saying anything else.
