Dana walks through the door of Alice’s housing complex. Inside she was greeted by a security officer. Dana signs her name on the check in sheet. After the officer reaches Alice upstairs, he buzzes the door so she could proceed through. Dana walks through the door and over toward an elevator. She presses the call button and waits for the car to arrive. While waiting, she caught sight of a poster nailed to the wall. She steps closer and scrutinizes the lettered words. It stated that there would be a New Years Eve bash at Milk the upcoming Sunday. Dana then, thinks that it would be a perfect opportunity for the girls to bring the New Year in together. She thought of Bette and the opportunity to finally hook up with someone. Even if they went to the movies, she was happy with it. Dana just wanted to see the old Bette again-confident, sexy, beautiful, and outgoing, spontaneous-Alpha Bette. The doors to the elevator now open. Dana enters and they close momentarily.

Upstairs, Alice lays her clothing out on the bed. It’s now after four, and she’s up and ready for a late start in the day. Sleeping all afternoon, gave her the strength to go all night if she could. She had a satisfying evening the night before, and to have another one with less loud music this time was something she could go for. Her doorbell rung and she knew Dana was at the door. So, she exits her bedroom and opens the door.

"Hello," Alice says, leaving the door open. Dana enters and walks over toward her. The door closes mechanically on its own.

"Hey," she sits down, "it’s about time you decide to join us on this wonderful planet. You’ve been sleeping all day." Dana replies.

"I know. That party was very, very, very entertaining. I’ve never had that much fun since college. And, I’d love to have another party sometime next week. A New Years Eve party." Alice says, joining her friend on the couch.

"I’ve got something better. Milk is having a New Years Eve bash this coming Sunday. What do you think about that?" Dana asked.

"Milk, I don’t know. I’d rather have a party where I can control the crowd. It’s getting dangerous every year going to one of those things. I thought that maybe if we changed it up a bit, it would be safer, and more reliable. At least, we know that no fights will breakout, or that our things are secured in my bedroom. It’s so much better that way." Alice says. Dana thinks about it-the yes and no’s.
