Monday at The Planet.

Bette and Tina’s party ended without success of finding a sperm donor.  For Bette and Tina, it has been a source of frustration, but at this cafe, they find the solace of friendship.  With Marina at work, Alice, Dana, and Shane are all seated with Tina who has just joined them upon ordering a salad.

Alice ”Still no luck?”

Tina ”Not so far.  There are still some other artists who didn’t make the party like  Jean-Paul Chamois, but…I don’t know, it’s just really frustrating.”

Tina stares at her salad, the thought of her current situation starting to weigh heavy on her mind.

Dana ”Um…Tina?  I don’t think that salad’s gonna eat itself.”

Shane ”Look…you’re gonna find somebody.  I have faith in you guys.”

Alice ”Exactly!  Maybe we need to just brainstorm a few more names.  I mean look where we’re at!  I’m sure there’s someone.”

Tina ”…”

Marina walks over, noticing Tina’s now melancholy state.  She places her left palm against Tina’s back.

Marina ”Hey, cheer up.  We will find someone for you.”

Tina ”Marina, I gotta wait another month!”

Tina sighs.

Tina ”I’d…really rather not talk about it.”

Marina ”Anything you feel like discussing, we shall.”

At first there is an uneasy silence.

Dana ”I…have a tour coming up.”

Alice and Shane look at Dana.

Tina ”That’s great, Dana.  I hope you win.”

Alice ”Yeah, I wanna see you bring in one of those big trophies!”

Dana ”Trophies would be good.  Sponsors would be better.”

Marina ”Believe me, if I were able to-”

Dana ”Noooo, that’s okay.  This is a…kinda private place for me.  You know.”

Marina smiles, almost laughing.

Marina ”Of course.  I am hopeful all of you will be able to attend RADAR tomorrow night.”

Shane ”Definitely.”

Alice ”Oh yeah, showin’ up for RADAR no doubt.”

Dana ”Shit, that is tomorrow night isn’t it?”

Alice ”Dana, you do know it’s Monday, right?”

Dana ”Yes, it’s Monday!  Don’t remind me.”

Marina ”Who knows, Dana?  Maybe you’ll find you a date.”

Alice ”Riiiiiiiiiiight.”

Dana shoots Alice a pierced eye look.  Shane laughs as Tina partakes in her salad.

Tina ”This is good.”

Tuesday Night.

Bette and Tina’s talk with Jean-Paul did not end with a success, but did add further stress for Bette and Tina themselves.  All of that however is behind as RADAR commences at The Planet.
