Found – part 2

That night at The Planet

You know, I dont think Bette and Tina are as boring this time around. Theyre still boring, but not AS boring, if you know what I mean. Alice played with the swizzle stick in her drink, and idly played footsie with Dana under the table.

Alice! As long as shed known Alice, and as much as she loved her, Dana still thought Alice could be incredibly judgmental. Then again, she had to admit to herself, it was all part of Alices charm. But she could never resist making Alice defensive.

What!? Im saying theyre better this time. Sheesh.

Yeah, well, I think they deserve to be as boring as they want to. Theyve certainly had enough drama over the past year. If boring works for them and keeps them together and happy, then Im all for it. Dana looked longingly at Bette and Tina slow dancing near the stage where Kit crooned a smooth jazz number.

Alice caught the expression on Danas face and reached for her girlfriends hand. I guess boring does have its good points, she admitted.

Just then, Shane walked up to the table with Jenny in tow. Hello ladies. How are you doing this evening? Suave as ever, Shane gave each of her friends that ***** smile of hers and a peck on the cheek. Can I get anybody a refill? Seeing no takers, Shane turned to Jenny and motioned to the dance floor with her head and a questioning, though confident, expression. Jenny took Shanes hand, and they made their way through the crowd, soon disappearing from view.

Dana and Alice looked at each other and Dana raised an eyebrow and asked, What was that? Alice could only shrug. Beats me. I thought they were just friends. Dana got this goofy look on her face at Alices answer, and retorted, So were we.

Alice pretended to be offended. Were? Just were? Ouch! Dana nuzzled Alices neck to make up to her, and after a few seconds (she was so easy), Alice relented. Okay, I forgive you. But only because I know you cant live without me. Darn right! agreed Dana, completely secure in the fact that she was head-over-heels for her best friend, and that the feeling was mutual.
