“Dana’s engaged to the most annoying woman you’ll ever meet, Tonya but she is still sleeping with Alice on the side” Bette’s face lit up “Ohhh!” She laughed, “this whole time you’ve been on my back about being stuck in the past and here you are still stuck in it with me, that’s funny” she couldn’t hold her laughter in, “Well you are still having dreams about Tina, at least Alice is getting some and not just dreaming about it” Shane chipped in. Bette’s smile faded, “you told her!” Shane laughed nodding. “We take it in turns to listen to your dream then Shane always passes the phone back to me so I can give you ‘the speech’ again” They cracked up laughing at each other. “Ah, I do miss this. James was right, she needed this”

It was the day of the reunion and Bette was still trying to decide what to wear, the invite had said there would be food and beverages along with classy music. She picked out a suit that would go well with the event, “Bette you don’t wear a suit like this to a reunion, it screams ‘I have more money than you could even dream about’” Alice picked out a see through blouse that would go with her black suit pants that she was already wearing.

“Oh but a see through top is appropriate” Bette rolled her eyes as she changed. “Put your leather jacket on, therefore we can go out afterwards or leave if it’s boring” she placed her jacket on checking her outfit out in the mirror, “damn Porter you sure grew up goooood” Bette through a nearby pillow at her laughing. “Come on let’s get this over with”

The hall was packed with familiar faces and a few new ones, most had brought family members with them. It was a lot classier than they expected, there were caters walking around with food and champagne, there was a rental bar in the corner; at least they didn’t stick out like sore thumbs. “Oh woaw, Bethenny Timple got fat!!” Alice blurted out as per usual. Shane grabbed a couple of glasses of a nearby waiter.

It was already an hour into the evening and they had managed to talk to the small amount of people that acknowledged their existence in high school. They were discussing where they could go instead. “Milk sounds good, let’s go”

“I was really hoping to see Dana here tonight you know away from her crazy soon to be wife… she never mentioned if she was coming or not” Alice sipped the last of her champagne “when did you expect her to between orgasm number 1 or 2?” Bette raised her eyebrow; she believed her friend deserved so much more. “Bette…don’t, you haven’t been around. Dana and I…we were close in high school but she wanted to stay closeted so weren’t together and then she fell in love…with another woman, I don’t get it” Bette comforted her friend with a small side hug walking towards the doors to leave, “I’m sorry Al I know you really liked…Tina” she whispered her name. “Huh, I love Dana” Alice looked confused then she followed Bette’s stare to a perky blonde chatting away. “OMG it is Tina”
