By Friday MK and Carmen had their place up and running and ready for the party.  Alice had invited every eligible woman in a 100 mile radius.  She had even gone so far as to make flyers.  She sat in the Planet on Saturday afternoon passing them out as she sipped coffee with Jenny and Max.

Jenny:  "Wow this is going to be some party huh?"

Alice:  "You know it.  A real ragger."

Max:  "I don’t know MK that well but are you sure she’s going to want so many

people at her place?"

Alice:  "Yeah of course.  MK likes to party."

Jenny:  "What about Shane and Bette?"

Alice:  "What about them?"

Jenny:  "Will they invite them?"

Alice:  "Well I don’t know if they will but I sure did."

Jenny:  "Alice.  Why would you do that without asking them?"

Alice:  "What?  Everyone we know is going to be there.  Did you really expect

Shane and Bette to not get an invite?  Come on.  That would be cruel."

Max:  "No Carmen scratching Shane’s eyes out is what’s cruel."

Alice:  "Oh don’t be melodramatic.  It’ll be fine."

Just then.

MK:  "What’ll be fine?"

Alice handed her a flyer as she sat down.

Alice:  "Oh nothing, just me inviting Shane and Bette to the party tonight."

MK:  "You did what?!"

Alice:  "I’ve invited everyone.  Look at the flyer."

MK read the piece of paper in her hand.

MK:  "Come one come all?!  Alice are you crazy?!"

Alice looked at her perplexed.

MK:  "Every lesbian from here to Nevada is going to be at my place tonight!"

Alice:  "I know its going to be great."

MK shot daggers at Alice with her eyes.

Alice:  "I’m sorry.  You told me to invite people."

MK:  "A few people Al.  A few choice people.  You not only invited a couple

hundred strangers to my house but to top it off you invite Bette and Shane?"

Alice:  "I said I was sorry.  I wouldn’t have felt right not inviting them."

MK:  "You know what?  Fine.  What’s done is done.  But you better make it very clear to them that YOU invited them and not me nor Carmen.  Last thing I need is for either of them to think things are ok between us."
