“You mean like what we’re doing now?” Alice asked the couple. When she saw the two women nod their heads she added. “How boring.”

“If we’re boring than we’re boring and no intervention please,” Bette told the three women, recalling the last time they performed their intervention.

“But Bette, there’s this really cool place…”

“I mean it Al.” Bette interrupted.

Chapter 28

At the Rehearsal Dinner…

Alice stood at the head of the table and looked at the many faces she was seeing. Family and friends who became family had gathered to celebrate the joining of their favorite couple, Bette and Tina. They were finally going to tie the knot. Alice felt some tug her shirt. She looked down at her Earth-daughter.

“Auntie Al, are you going to make your speech?”

“Yes, Angie. Why don’t you have a seat with Auntie Kit.” She watched as Angie climbed on Kit’s lap. With Angie in attendance, she knew she had to be careful with her speech. “Excuse me everyone. I would say a few things about our lovely couple.”

Bette turned to Tina and whispered, “I’m a little afraid of what she’s going to say.”

“Actually, first I want to applaud Tina. Tina took pole-dancing lessons for a month and had wanted to surprised Bette at her bachelorette party, but Bette was a kill joy and wanted a low key get together instead, but with some maneuvering Tina and I were able to pull it off and for anyone who wants to see Tina’s performance, I have a video of it. Tina, I just want to say that sultry pole dancing routine you performed for us and especially for Bette the other night was really amazing. I didn’t know you could be so…bendy.” Alice raised her glass to Tina, who blushed. “I… we didn’t really get a chance to thank her that night because…um…ah…Bette kicked us out right after Tina’s routine, which I should mention was not very hospitable of her…”

Bette scowled at Alice as she crossed her arms over her chest during the speech. Bette leaned toward Tina. “She’s right, you know.”

Tina furred her brows. “Right about what?”

“That you were very bendy. I didn’t know you had it in you and that was an amazing performance and truly surprising. Thank you for doing it.” Bette grinned.
