Meanwhile at The Planet

Alice is talking to Shane. They have been in deep discussion for the last five minutes. Shane shaking her head, in disagreement.

Shane: No! No! No! Tonight is supposed to be special. Dont you remember the effort we put in a while ago or have you just got amnesia?

Alice: Come one Shane. Things might get a bit too intense for Tina and you know what happened the last time right. We have to execute Plan C.

Shane: God, not another one of your plan. Were supposed to bring them together not apart.

Al: They need to laugh more often. Things have been going great but it has been draining emotionally for both of them. Come one. Shane.

Shane: youre insane. I cant believe you expect me to do this.

Al: It will be fun. and I think this will just build on the atmosphere.

Shane: Youre joking right? How is that possible? (totally baffled by Alices way of reasoning) How is that possible?? If we intrude into their romantic and intimate evening it will ruin the atmosphere not build on it.

Al: Well (whisper, whisper) will make Bette & Tina drool over each other and the (whisper, whisper) is going to be so sensual and erotic. Bette will like it. Come on Shane. Trust me, it will be fun for them.

Shane: Trust you? (looking shock) youre kidding right?

Al: Come on Shane really.. itll be fun.

Shane: I dont know. (feeling rather uncertain. Then looking accusingly at Alice). You are going to do it with or without my help, isnt it?

Al: Yes. Ive asked Katie and Dana and they are for it. Itll be more fun with you. Pleaaseee. For Tinas sake.

Shane: are you sure this is for Tina? I mean its more like you are trying to get even with Bette. If anything goes wrong, youre dead Al. If Bette doesnt kill you I will have the greatest pleasure of doing that myself.

Al: No, she wont. She owes us big time, remember? And you wont have the heart to kill me anyway you love me too much. Dont you? (with a teasing look).

Shane: God I dont believe Im saying this. Okay. OK but on one condition. We have to asked Tina first. I dont want us to do anything that shes not comfortable with. Bette is not going to like this. If T says No then its no go. Deal?

Alice: Deal. Now all we need to do is wait for her call.

Alice knew Tina would call to tell her that Bette would like to stay longer. She knows Bette! While waiting, Alice, Dana, Shane and Katie were busy getting things ready. They went to Alices house to pick up some things and then they went over to Bettes house to get the rest of the things they needed.

Al: (Shouting) Shane, have you found the things yet?

Shane: yeh, boxer shorts, singlet top, bathrobe . cant find the towels .. Oh got it.

Al: Dana! Stop putting you fingers in the jars. Were not having breakfast. Put them in the box. Katie, Can you please help Dana. Make sure we have everything we need. Dont forget the maple syrup.

Shane came out with a little bag, Dana & Katie are done packing the box and they said were done.

Al: okay checklist – whip cream, strawberry toppings, white chocolate sauce, peanut butter, blueberry jam, maple syrup, cream cheese, the list went on and on. Okay I think weve got everything we need. Al smile. Satisfied. Good going guys. Were going to have so much fun.. Oh are you guys dressed ready.

Everyone: Yes, mother!
Alice made the girls put extra pieces of clothings, scarf, bracelet, etc ready for the games.

Katie: hey dont forget the cards. Heres the two sets of UNO.

Dana: Why do we need so many deck of cards??

Alice: so we can cheat, duh! We have to win you know guys. Bette always beat us – keep the spare in your pockets and make sure Bette doesnt see them or well end up a mess!

Dana: Al, youre such a cheat! Katie will end up in ***** for what youre making her do. Youre a bad influence. Totally leading her astray.

Shane: youre going to ***** for this you know Al.

Katie: (Laughing) Yeh, theyre right, Alice. Ill pray for you – (she folded her hands and knelt down and started praying) God please forgive Alice for leading us all astray. And help her not to lead us into more troubles. Deliver her from evil. (Shane & Dana join in to say a big AMEN!)

Alice grabbed some cushions and threw one at Katie and then with the other she hid Dana on the head. She was about to throw one at Shane when Shane jumped on Alice and they all grab her and tackle her to the floor. Katie and Shane held Alice down while Dana tickled her until she said no more please. I give up. I repent. Please God Im sorry . They rolled on the floor and were laughing so hard.

Then Alice got up in a flash, grab a cushion and start hitting Shane with it. Shane, Katie and Dana grabbed a cushion each and they all had a pillow fight. They jumped and ran all around the house chasing Alice who has been screaming bloody murder. Everyone laughing and having the time of their life.

Even though the gang only got to know Katie a few months ago, they have grown very fond of her. Katie and Tina have grown really close as they work closely together for the Dream House project. The gang knows that Tina is doing well because of Katie.

Okay, okay .Time out. Lets rest or well not last the night. Have a drink while we wait for the call. They didnt have to wait long. 10 minutes later Alices cell phone rang. That must be Tina.

Al: Hi Tina. Hows it going? Having fun?
T: Hey. Yes, Thought I let you know Bette would like to stay longer. So, call off the search party.
Al: No can do.
T: What?
Al: Shhh not so loud. Were coming over to have some fun with Bette. Just playing a few games together (whisper whisper). Please dont tell her. Its a secret. But first Shane wants to know if youre for it. We cant do it unless you say so. Please say okay. Well be good I promise. We just want to have some fun with Bette. Please, please say its okay.
T: (thinking for a while) .. Oh, okay.
Al: Tell Bette she can stay on one condition. She has to play the games we prepared. Just dont tell her we come with the game.
T: okay (laughing)
Al: Well be there shortly. See you.

Alice was delighted. Shane weve got our okay. So, girls, lets get going.
