Bette and Tina were in the car on their way to their doctor’s appointment.

“ Anne has grown up so much Tina, it’s so nice having her around again” Bette said unable to hid the huge grin on her face.

“I know baby. She’s going to definitely like it out here. I think she’s going to get along with everyone just fine” Tina said not sure whether or not she should bring up what she wanted to bring up.

“Alice seems to want to spend some time with her”, Bette said not really aware of what was really going on.

“ Bette, I think Alice has some other plans with Anne, did you see how she was looking at her”, Tina asked Bette.

Bette thought about what Tina was saying before answering, her face showing some shock, “ SHE’S 19! I’m gonna kill Alice”.

Tina turned to Bette, “ Bette, I’m sure Anne won’t do anything”.

Bette had sped up to get to the doctor’s faster, “ Anne probably doesn’t even know Alice is hitting on her, remember T? it took her fucking a year to realize Caren even liked her, AFTER CAREN SAID IT!”.

Tina grabbed her phone, “ we don’t have to worry anymore Bette, Shane’s with them remember, I’m sure she won’t let anything happen”.

Bette’s hold on the wheel tightened, “ She better not let anything fucking happen”.

Shane and Anne were sitting in the backseat of Alice’s car, “ Thanks for sitting back here with me Anne, I’ve heard so much about you, I figured we could talk”.

Alice was getting pretty annoyed with Yoda, Shane was getting in the way of every chance she had to talk to Anne, “ You seem pretty cool Shane, Aunt Bette said you knew a lot of the hot spots out here”.

Alice spoke up, “ Actually if you want to know about the places to be, you should come to me, I had to do this article…”

As Alice spoke Shane picked up her phone, “ hello?…oh hey T! yeah she’s fine, she’s right here…is that Bette? What is she saying?”

———————–

Tina had to cover her other ear because Bette was screaming way too loud, “ SHANE YOU BETTER TELL ALICE TO KEEP HER FUCKING HANDS TO HERSELF, SHE”S FUCKING 19!”.

————————-

Shane had to pull the phone away from her ear just a little bit, “ definitely heard that…don’t worry I got everything under control…”.

Before Shane could say bye, she had missed the whole conversation between Anne and Alice, “ Hey Shane, will you tell my Aunt that I’m going to go hang out with Alice for a little while”.

Bette heard the whole thing, “ WHAT THE FUCK….”, and before Bette could finish Shane hung up the phone.

Shane smiled at Anne, “ Shouldn’t you go home first and unpack?”

“ Alice said she had some cool stuff to show me in her apartment, and plus she also told me about, you know?” Anne said trying to avoid the last bit.

Shane was confused, “ about what?”.

Alice looked into the rear view mirror, “ oh you know Shane, I thought I should let her know about your “problems”.

Shane said through gritted teeth and not once looked away, “ What problem Al?”

“ your IBS, irritable bowel syndrome and your uncontrollable gas” Alice said trying her damn hardest not to laugh.

Shane turned to Anne who was holding back a few laughs, “ Don’t listen to her Anne”. just as she finished saying that there was a muffled fart that came from Shane’s direction.

Before Shane could say anything they were already in front of her house, Alice jumped out of the car and opened the door for Shane, Shane got out and Alice gave her an immediate hug and whispered in her ear, “ That fake farting machine did come in handy, Thanks Shane”.

Alice walked back over to her side and yelled over to Anne, “ You can come sit in the front with me Anne!”.
