Helena: Hello, come on in. Hi Angelica!

Angelica: Hi.

They all greet Helena and step inside the house.

The Group: Surprise!!!

Bette hugs Angelica tight as she expects the baby might be frieghtend.

Bette: Baby this is a special party for Auntie Kit, we are going to have some fun. Don’t be scared these are Auntie’s friends, OK.

Angelica is clinging to Bette, but hasn’t cried yet. Kit is stupefied and cannot believe they got this one over on her. She finally sees the faces in the crowd and recognizes some old friends: Lara, a few former employees, several of her studio musicians and back ground singers.

Kit: Oh my god, how did you? When did you? Who did this?

Bette: We all had a hand in this Kit, there are lots of people who love you and want to wish you well on your marriage. Welcome to your bridal shower.

Alice: I helped with the decorations and I’m in charge of the games.

Shane: Don’t blame the rest of us for the games Kit, you know how she can be.

Helena: Well come see your cake, this is all Lara.

Kit walks over to Lara and engulfs her in a big mother hug, Kit’s specialty. Lara’s cake is amazing. It is three tiers with multiple colored icing. The top layer was a replica of Kit on stage at a club in New York in the 1970’s. Her hair was big the dress was colorful and her background crew styled platform shoes and ruffled tuxedoes. The other tiers depicted familiar symbols and landmarks from Philadelphia and Los Angeles, Kit’s two homes. Lara had even replicated Kit’s low rider car. Everyone was amazed at the detail on the cake and everyone could see a connection to Kit on the cake.

Carmen: Ok this is a party so I’m cranking the tunes now.

Helena: There’s quite a spread here so dig in.

Tina: Babe I’m going to take the baby down to the beach. You stay here with Kit and catch up with her friends, we’ll see you later.

Bette: I won’t be long T. Be good Boo and have fun.

Shane: I’ll come with you guys T.

Carmen: I’m coming too babe, wait for me.
