The next day the girls all met early at the Planet to finish up the wedding preparations. Alice of course coordinated the day down to the last minute

Alice: “Alright ladies we have a lot to get done today.
Dress hunt from 9 -noon
Lunch noon-1
Dress hunt wrap up from 1-3 if necessary
Due to Helena’s absence, which I shall kill her for, we have to view some locations with Shane from 3-5
Rest time and changing from 6-8
Baccalaureate parties from 8-whenever
Then the big day tomorrow!
Everyone else knows their duties so please lets getter done ladies.”

Bette and Harmony looked at each other in complete shock

Bette/Harmony: Baccalaureate party?!

Alice: “Yes of course me and the ladies have thrown a little something together.”

Harmony looked around at her friends with a faux frown.

Harmony: “You and the girls huh?

Roxy put on a nervous smile and mouthed “surprise”.

All she could do was shake her head

Alice: “Ok time is ticking let’s hit the stores!”

Bette, Alice and Tina went one way, Harmony, Roxy and D went another. Carmen finished up her music hunt, Shane was now put on location duty, and Kit and Lara put the finishing touches on the catering and drink ordering while Jenny had to put a rush on the personally delivered invites.

It was a long day but both ladies found a dress. They were perfect. Everyone spent the day calling Helena to find out where she had disappeared to with no answers. Before anyone knew it was 7 o’clock and time to prepare for the baccalaureate parties. Bette and Harmony head home to prepare.

Harmony flops on the bed.

Harmony: “I’m pooped!”

MJ snuggles in close to her. Bette watches on in jealousy.

Bette: “I haven’t seen you all day and you’re lying with that damn dog.”

Harmony laughed a little.

Harmony: “I’m sorry baby. Come here.”

She holds out her hands for Bette to come lay with her, which she does.”

Harmony: “Hi”

Bette: “Hi.”

Harmony: “This has been a crazy few days huh?”

Bette: “Has it ever, its worth it though.”

Harmony: “I agree very much.”

They share a kiss.

Harmony: “I will soon officially be Mrs. Porter-Scott. I cant wait.”

Bette: “Me neither.”

She says with a big grin.

Harmony: “…You …nervous?”

Bette: “No, whuy would I be?”

Harmony: “I dunno, its just I’m like your second wife, maybe I’m nervous.”

Bette sits up and looks at her.

Bette: “That’s true you may be my second wife but the way I see it you’re my second, my last, my forever.”

Harmony smiles.

Harmony: “You soooo have to put that in your vows tomorrow.”

They laugh.

Bette: “That was a good line.”

She lays back down.

Harmony: “Babe its 8.”

Bette: “Is it already?”

Harmony: “Yeah.”

Bette: “Lets cancel, I’m not in the mood.”

Harmony: “Are you crazy, miss my bachlorette party? No way!”

Bette: “You sound really excited.”

Harmony gets up and starts looking in the closet.

Harmony: “I am.”

Bette: “Why? Its just a mindless rituatal where women get together to drink and go to strip clubs.”

Harmony: “Hence the excitement.”

She says with a laugh.

Bette: “That’s what you’re excited about, looking at naked women all night?”

Harmony: “Um, yeah. Aren’t you?”

Bette: “I don’t even want to go.”

Harmony: “Isn’t the point one last foray in the land of the single?”

Bette: “True but seeing other women isn’t the way I wanna start my marriage, and it upsets me that it is for you.”

Harmony: “Look B this is my first, last, and only baccalaureate party. I wanna do whatever it is that people do at these things. Is that a crime.”

Bette: “By no means, all I’m saying is you seem really excited to see the breast of other women tonight.”

Harmony: “What’s the harm if I look and don’t touch. Or do you not know anything about that.”

Bette: “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

Harmony regretted that the moment is crossed her lips.

Harmony: “Nothing.”

Bette: “No be honest. What because I have a past of infidelity I’m incapable of looking and not touching?”

Harmony: “I didn’t mean that.”

Bette got up.

Bette: “No that is what you meant. If your so worried about me cheating again why are you even marring me? Don’t do me in a favors, you don’t trust me then fine. The weddings off!

Harmony: “WHAT?! BB please, that’s not what I meant!

Before Harmony could finish that line Bette was slamming the bathroom door shut.
