“Yippee. Can we go in the morning to the movie store?” Jess starts towards her bedroom. Bette smiled with relief.

“Yeah. But I think we need to hose you down before you go anywhere.” Bette wipes Jess’s face off with the wet cloth. Jess protesting the entire time. Bette watches as Jess runs into her bedroom and begins playing. Her happiness is pushed out of her mind by her nerves about her impending date with .

Home

Bette lies in bed thinking of her big date with Tina tonight. She looks at the clock 8:30. She can her Jess in the next room playing. ” I might as well get up.” She sits up in the bed. Jess comes crashing through the door and jumps on the bed. “Can we go to the movie store now?”

“Honey its only 8:30 the movie store doesn’t even open for another 2 hours. How about we go to the Planet for breakfast?” Bette pulls herself out of bed and stretches.

“Can I have Pancakes and chocolate milk?” Bette not feeling like a debate this early on a Saturday morning agrees. Jess jumps of jumps off the bed and runs to get dressed.

The Planet

Bette and Jess sit at a table near the front of the caf. Marina comes over and greets them.

“Hey girls you to sure out early on Saturday morning. What can I get you this morning?” laughing how bubbly Jess was this early morning.

“Coffee Lots of Coffee” Bette winced a little as she took her sunglasses off.

“Pancakes and chocolate Milk please” Jess said with confidence. Marina looked at Bette for approval.

“Its okay just this once.” She smiled at Jess. Marina returned shortly with Bette’s Coffee and Jess’ Chocolate milk and sat down next Bette. Jess began to quickly suck down her milk.

“You better drink that slow because you are only getting one.” Bette was tried to control Jess’s sugar intake as much as possible because she got extremely hyper when she had eaten a lot of sweets. Bette knew she would be bouncing of the walls before to long. Alice walked in just as the pancakes arrived.

“Hey guys.”

“Hey Alice.” Bette greeted the woman that had turned into her best friend after the dated for awhile. She was the last woman that she had been in a relationship with. When they split it wasn’t as bad for Jess as she had feared because Alice didn’t go away. If anything she was around more. Jess waved at Alice because her mouth was full. If Bette had taught her anything it was manners. Alice joined the table eager to know all about Bette’s plans for tonight.
