running multiple tests within the same FakeApplication() in play 2.0 scala

I am trying to learn the unit tests in Play scala, but I am running into some issues. I am trying to run several tests on my models layer like this:

"User Model" should {
    "be created and retrieved by username" in {
        running(FakeApplication()) {
            val newUser = User(username = "weezybizzle",password = "password")
            User.save(newUser)
            User.findOneByUsername("weezybizzle") must beSome
        }
    }
    "another test" in {
        running(FakeApplication()) {
            // more tests involving adding and removing users
        }
    }
}

However when doing things this way, I fail to connect to the database on the second unit test, saying that the connection is closed. I tried to solve this by enclosing all the code in a block that runs on the same fake application, but that didn't work either.

  running(FakeApplication()) {
    "be created and retrieved by username" in {
        val newUser = User(username = "weezybizzle",password = "password")
        User.save(newUser)
        User.findOneByUsername("weezybizzle") must beSome
    }
    "another test" in {
        // more tests involving adding and removing users
    }
  }
