Bette: Yes you have.

Tina: We need to swing back by the house. We didn’t grab our swim suits.

Kit: Yea, no problem we can grab them and head over early. I’m really ready to party.

Bette: Well then, let’s go.

Tina is a bit miffed at their possible early arrival, but again defers to Bette’s cool and doesn’t show her panic. They chat and sing along to the music on the way back to the house.

Bette: Hey let’s do Boo’s fashion show now so we can select her flower girl dress.

Kit: Yea, now would be the perfect time. Come here Boo Auntie needs you to try on some pretty dresses.

Angelica: Pretty.

The go through all three and by agree on the one they like best. Angelica likes them all, but Kit explains she can only have one and that Auntie has a very important job for her to do at the wedding. Angelica agrees that she can help.

Bette: T, I’ll change the baby while you get ready.

Tina: Thanks baby.

Kit: Well I’ll play on the beach, but I’m not sure I’ll actually get in so I’ll just bring my suit and a change of clothes.

They get changed and pack the car for the trip out to Helena’s. Bette has sent a text indicating their likely early arrival.

Kit: Can I tell you my favorite thing on this car?

Bette: The sunroof?

Kit: Nope, my GPS. It not only gives me directions, but will change the route to avoid bad traffic.  Now in LA sometimes that’s impossible, but I love that it gives me options.

The drive to Helena’s beach house was smooth. Bette pressed send when they turned into the long driveway:

Bette: We are here.

Helena: Alright everyone over on this side. They are here and should be heading up the stairs any moment.

Bette: Got everything?

Kit: OK I’ll lock up. Looks like only Alice and Tasha are here so far, we are early.

They head up the steps. Bette carries her purse and the baby while Tina carries her purse and the baby’s bag. Kit has Vera Bradley shoulder bag. Kit rings the bell.

Helena: Be right there.

Helena motions for the group to be quiet. They know to allow Helena to greet the guests as usual and the surprise is to come once Kit is in full view.
