Bette walked into The Planet on Saturday to have some breakfast with her friends.

She saw Shane, Cherie with Daphne in her arms, Alice, Tasha holding Andreas, Kit, Helena, Dylan, Tina, Angelica, Claude and Benny sitting at one big table. She saw she could sit between Tina and Shane.  She walked over to her friends who greeted her. When she sat down, she couldn’t help looking at Tina who looked back. Angelica ran over to her and Bette picked her up.

“Hello, Princess.” She said to her daughter.

“Hi, Bette. Can we go swimming later?” Angelica asked her. Bette still felt weird about Angelica calling her ‘Bette’ but she hoped that eventually, Angelica felt secure enough to call her Mom or Mamma or whatever.

“Off course we can, Boo. I missed you.”

Angelica giggled. “You saw me two days ago.”

“That’s waaaaaay to long.” Was Bette’s dramatic response, Angelica giggled even more. Then she placed a kiss on Bette’s cheek. They smiled at each other.

Tina loved to see the interaction between Bette and Angelica.

“Hey, guys, there is karaoke tonight.” Alice said excited.

“Oh, I’m in.” Tina said. “I LOVE karaoke.”

“Yeah, but you can’t sing.” Bette said smiling. She was teasing. Tina’s voice was good.

“Oh, you have to be the one to say that! YOU cannot sing, Ms. Porter. You are like a cat.” They smiled at each other.

“So, Porter are you coming? “ Alice asked.

“Only to prove to Tina that I can sing. “Bette said.

“I’m not going. “ Shane said and Cherie nodded. “Me neither” The blonde-haired woman said.

“We will watch the kids.” Shane said.

“Okay then. So it’s Bette, Tina, Kit, Tasha, Helena, Dylan and me?” Alice said. Everyone nodded.

“This is going to be fun!” Alice practically screamed. He rest rolled their eyes.

The night was going strong. Alice had been more on the stage than of it. Kit had blown away the whole room, Tasha had done some cool rap, Helena had done some funny song and Dylan had just been drinking.

Now, it was Tina and Bette’s turn. Alice had told them she would let them do a cool song so they were okay with it. They didn’t really know what song Alice had picked…
