Bette pulled in the driveway and opend the car door for both Tina and Kathy. “Why, thank you.” said Kathy climbing out of the car. Tina climbed out behind her mom and planted a soft kiss on Bette’s lips and wispered “thank you”. This caused chills to run up Bette’s spine.

Kathy: “Can I use your bathroom before we go?”

Bette: “Of course” she said walking up to unlock the door. “It’s the first door on the left down the hallway.”

Bette and Tina walked into the house.

Bette: “Your moms a trip.”

Tina: “Isn’t she. I can’t believe she is going to Milk with you guys. Tell Alice she’s dead.”

Bette: “So uh, what should I say if she starts asking questions?”

Tina: “She probably won’t, but just in case she does, change the subject, that usually works”

Bette smiled and Kathy walked back out into the living room.

Kathy: “Ready to go have some fun Bette?”

Bette: “As ready as i’ll ever be”

Tina gave her mom a hug then turned to Bette with a sympathetic smile. “You’ll be fine” she said laying her hand on Bette’s cheek as she walked away. She watched the car pull out of the driveway and walked over to her cell phone, picked it up and dialed. “Hey….can we meet somewhere, I want to talk to you about something……yeah……20 minutes……….how about the planet……..ok…see you then…ok…bye.” Tina grabbed her keys and headed out the door.

George and Alice both went home to change then agreed to meet back at Alice’s apartment before they headed out.
George went home and was in and out in five minutes. She hopped on her skateboard and headed to Alice’s.

George: “Hey are you ready to do this thang?” she said knocking on Alice’s door.

Alice: “Hold your horses” she said opening the door. “come in here” she said grabbing George’s arm and pulling her inside. “I had a great idea.”

George: “What is it?” she said walking over to the couch.

Alice walked over and reached under the couch and pulled out her wooden box.

George: “No, we can’t do that again…..Can we?”

Alice: “Totally. It’s me and you, at Milk, with Bette and your mom. It will be awsome.”

George smiled a sinister smile and rubbed her hands together.

George: “ok, but let’s be fast”

Tina pulled up to The Planet and looked around. She got out of her car and was heading for the door when she heard her name. She turned around and saw Helena walking up. Tina walked over and gave her an hug then they walked inside.

Helena: “So what’s going on?”

Tina: “I was wondering if it was ok if we saw other people, I mean we can still see eachother, but we could date other people as well, ya know what I mean.” she blurted out nervously.

Helena: “Is Bette one of these “other people” you could date.”

Tina sat quietly for a second then simply responed “Yes”

Helena: “That’s fine with me, you’ll get over it.”

Tina: “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Helena: “Nothing. Are we done here, I have things I need to do?”

Tina: “Yeah, I guess we are”

Helena: “ok” she said standing up. “I’ll call you tomorrow” she said then leaned in and kissed Tina on the lips and walked away. She then imediently started to flirt with a girl at the counter.

Tina, a little upset and confused got up from the table and walked out to her car. She got in and drove home. Tina was exausted when she got home so she went strait to bed.

Bette and Kathy walked up to Milk and Alice and George were nowhere to be found. Suddenly Bette heard comotion behind her so she turned around. What she saw was George on her skateboard and Alice pulling her along with George’s belt. They were laughing and singing Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry.

Kathy: “your so crazy Georgia.”

George rode over to her mom and said “word em up, momalazita” as she hopped off her board. Alice was no standing next to Bette. Bette looked over at Alice sharply with raised eyebrows. “Tell me you didn’t” she said quietly and sternly. “What? We didn’t…Yeah, we did” Alice said then bursted into laughter.

Kathy: “You two are silly. Let’s go have some drinks.” she said walking towards the doors.

Alice and George followed quickly behind Kathy. Bette paused for a second and threw up her arms and said “what am I doing” then she follow behind.

They went strait to the bar and Alice baught a round for everyone. They raised their glasses and toasted to Kathy. Alice leaned over to George and said “Get them drunk and the suspicion goes away” then she took a swig. They had thrown back quite a few rounds in a short period of time and they were all pretty tipsy, except for Bette, she knew how to pretend to drink.

Kathy: “hey where’s the bathroom?”

Bette: “I’ll take you”

Kathy and Bette walked off towards the bathroom.

Alice: “Hey, just out of curiosity. How old is your mom?”

George: “She is 48 years old. People ask all the time.”

Alice: “Then she had Tina when she was…” she said trailing off trying to do the math in her head.

George: “18, she was 18 when she had Tina.”

Alice: “wow”

George: “Yeah that’s a whole nother story.”

Alice: “I like stories!”

George: “Well this story requires the company of your little wooden box.” she hinted

Alice: “Understood” she said raising an eyebrow.

Kathy and Bette walked back over to the bar. Kathy walked over to George and said “You know what I saw in the bathroom?”. George replied “Toilets?” in a confused manor. “Well yeah that too, but there were two girls kissing in there” she said excitedly. “Mom look around. There are girls kissing everywhere” she said pointing the various couples. “This is a ***** bar” she said laughing. “Ohhhhhh” she said rahter high pitched. She grabbed George’s arm and said “I love this song, let’s go dance” as she pulled George towards the dance floor. “You like Missy Elliot?” she said trying to stay by the bar. Alice pushed George and said “Go dance with mama”. George gave up and headed towards the dance floor. It didn’t take long for her to start busting moves. Bette and Alice looked at eachother and laughed and continued to watch them dance. Shane walked up and said “What are we laughing at?” looking towards the dance floor. “Who is George dancing with?” she said looking at Bette and Alice. Without looking away they both replied “Her mom.” Shane smiled and shook her head and said “Awsome”. George and Kathy met the girls back up at the bar. Alice, Shane and George were all busy chatting about nothing important and Kathy took that opertunity to chat with Bette.

Kathy: “You make my daughter happy Bette.” she said catching Bette off guard.

Bette tuned and smiled.

Kathy: “I remember her telling me about you. I don’t know how to talk to these girls about this stuff but I guess thats my fault. It doesn’t matter to me either way, I just want them to be happy. Sometimes I play dumb and pretend to forget because I think thats what they want. I know Tina is ok because I know she’s happy.”

Bette smiled and put her arm around Kathy “Your a good mother” she said giving her a squeeze. “Enough of that, let’s have a drink” Kathy insisted. Bette gladly accepted. They all hung out until last call. Shane went home with one of her girls. George said good-bye to her mom and her and Alice stumbled off into the night. Kathy stumbled out of the doors and shouted “lesbians are fun”. Bette laughed and helped her to the car.

Bette finally crawled into bed around four am. Tina woke up and rolled over. “What time is it?” she whined. Bette settled into bed and looked over at the clock. “four” she yawned. “Aw, she really stayed out that late?” she said rolling over facing away from Bette. “Yeah she did. She thinks lesbians are fun.”. “Oh I bet does. You have to work tomorrow don’t you?” Bette yawned again and replied “yes”. Tina reached over and pulled Bette’s arm over her and said “Sorry, babe”.
