Shane and Dana sat on the floor around the coffee table at Bette and Tina’s, talking about the awful day they had had. Bette was in the kitchen getting some more drinks for the girls, and Tina was putting Angelica to sleep.

"Hey, what are ya getting?" Shane asked.

"Corona. Is that alright?" Bette asked, turning her head towards the living room as she spoke.

Quickly, Tina appeared from the hallway in comfortable black pants and a light blue camisole.

"Bette" Tina whispered, "Keep it down! I just put Angelica down for the night."

After looking Tina up and down, Bette answered her, "I’m sorry. I’ll try to be quiet." Quickly, Bette went back to the fridge and getting Coronas for everyone. "T, are you having one?" Bette asked, looking up to Tina.

"No thanks. I’ve already had one."

"Just one?" Bette smirked, teasing Tina about her confession as she closed the fridge with the beers in her hand. "That’s so cute." Bette added as she moved in towards Tina.

"Hey! We can see you guys." Alice shouted, looking through the little window in their front door.

"Fuck, Alice." Bette laughed, moving from Tina to the living room.

"Okay, I’ll get it." Tina sighed with a smile.

At the door, Alice waited impatiently for Tina to get it open.

"You know Bette hates it when you do that." Tina laughed, partly at Alice’s bubbly composure.

"Oh, she loves me. It’s really not that big a deal." Alice joked, handing a bottle of wine to Tina. "Don’t worry, Tina. Bette will be fine."

"It’s not Bette I’m worried about." Tina murmured to herself as she walked back to the fridge.

After entering the living room, Alice put out her hands and spoke to everyone who was already sitting comfortably. "Miss me?" She asked, squeezing in beside Dana.

The three girls around the table muttered numerous sarcastic remarks as Tina joined them in the living room.

"It truly isn’t a party without you, Al." Shane smiled, taking a sip of her beer.

"So true. Hey, wait. Where’s my beer?" Dana asked, looking at the line of beers in confusion.

"There’s one there for you." Bette said, looking up to Tina who was sitting across from her. "But Tina’s only had one, and she doesn’t want another." Bette added, smiling at her own effort to single Tina out.

"What? Tina!" Dana said in laughter, knowing that Angelica was the reason.
