The buzz and vibe in Milk could be felt before Alice and Dana even entered the building. They walked in, hand in hand, searching for the gang. The pulsating music and party atmosphere filled their senses. People everywhere, it looked to be a very popular night, everyone seemed to be having a good time. Dana squeezed Alice’s hand as she spotted Bette and Tina in the distance towards the bar. Alice looked at Dana and she pointed in their direction. Alice smiled and lead the way through the sea of people over to the group.

Bette spotted Alice and motioned to the others that they had arrived. Jenny and Marina were joining them tonight, along with Kit. As Dana and Alice got closer, Kit noticed they appeared to be “together” and stood with mouth gaping.

Kit: My my my … what have we here.

Bette: Oh I forgot to tell you Kit, Dana and Alice are dating.

Kit: Mmm-hmm so I see… interesting combination.

Jenny: They’re what? Oh my God!

Marina simply smiled, she always liked to see young love blooming.

Marina: They make a cute couple.

Tina: Yeah, they really do.

Alice and Dana arrived, hugging their friends hello. They were congratulated by Jenny, Marina and Kit. For once, Dana was not blushing, a sight not lost on Bette or Tina as they smiled at each other in recognition.

Tina: So how is your date going?

Alice: Awesome.

Dana: Wonderful.

Alice & Dana: Crispy!

They all laughed, Al and Dane were incredibly cute together. Shane was not around to say her usual “so ***** cute” line, Dana noticed and enquired.

Dana: Where is Shane?

Bette: She’s on the prowl, I think I saw her with a cute lil blonde before.

Alice: Well it’s good that she’s back in the game, I was worried about her for a while there.

Tina: You know Shane, she usually bounces back.

Dana: Bouncing is definitely one of her strong points.

They all laughed as Dana wondered what was so funny, then realising what she said she gasped and covered her mouth then giggled. Alice slid her arm around Dana and snuggled her lil cutie. They all stood around talking, taking in the surroundings, watching people dance and mingle, commented on outfits and pairings, just like the old days. It was good for them all to be back together like this, even though some of the pairings had slightly altered. Dana squealed as one of her favorite songs came on, “Waiting for Tonight” by J-Lo. She shouted to the group over the music.

Dana: Ohhhh c’mon we gotta dance to this one, c’mon c’mon pleeeeease!

Alice: Okay Dane, lets go.

Kit: Not me guys, I gotta get ready for my set.

Bette: I don’t know, I don’t really like this one…

Tina: C’mon Bette, its just a 3 minute song, it won’t kill ya.

Bette smiled, happily accepting the invitation to dance, besides, it was with Tina. They all weaved their way to the middle of the floor and started dancing. Jenny and Marina seemed to be in their own little world, as the other four danced together in a group. They sang along loudly to the chorus, even Bette. Dana made sure she looked into Alice’s eyes as she sang the words.

Dana: Waiting for tonight…

Bette: Ohhhhhh…

Dana: When you would be here in my arms…

Tina: Funny how you still know all the words even though you hate the song B.

Bette: Well I usually paid more attention to the video than the song.

Tina: Ahh now I get it.

Bette: I guess subliminally the words stuck in my head.

Tina: I think subliminally you like big butts.

Tina started to dance doing a butt spanking motion and smiling at Bette. They all laughed, Bette stepped back and admired Tina’s butt, making them all laugh more, enjoying the dance and the song. When it was over they all walked back over to the bar to get a drink. Jenny and Marina continued to dance to the next songs. While Dana was buying this round, Tina took the opportunity to check in with Alice, and Bette listened in intently.

Tina: So Al, how’s it really going with you and Dana?

Alice: Oh my God Tina it’s going… amazingly, I can’t believe the change in her since we told y’all about us. It’s like her being out of the closet all over again. She’s been so… flirty and suggestive and downright horny.

Bette: Oh my!

Tina: Wow! Our lil Dane is growing up.

Alice: Mmm-hmm… we almost didn’t make it here.

Bette & Tina: Ooooh!

In the midst of their chat, Dana came back with the drinks. They all tried to act casual.

Dana: So did you have a good chat about me while you were gone?

Alice: Ummmm…

Tina: Errrm…

Bette: What the other stooges are trying to say is “YES”.

Dana: Thought so, so when do I get to talk about Al?

Alice: Right now if you want to.

Dana: I can’t while you’re here to listen woman!

Alice: Oh well you’re no fun.

Dana: Fine, then tell me what you were saying.

Alice: It was nothing exciting.

Dana: Oh, so i’m not exciting? You didn’t mention that when I pinned you against the car outside the restaurant…

Bette and Tina almost choked on their drinks, then giggled at the image they now had.

Alice: Oh Lord, I think we better dance Miss Dee.

Dana: Now who is the blushing one?

Alice: That would be me… now lets go.

Dana smiled at Bette and Tina as she was dragged to the dance floor. A slow song was on, “Don’t Let Go (Love)” by En Vogue. Alice didn’t realise it at the time, but the words to the song were very poignant to Dana and Al’s situation. As Alice slid her arms around Dana and pulled her in close to dance, Dana recognised the song and giggled, whispering in Alice’s ear to the chorus.

Dana: What’s it gonna be, cos I can’t pretend, don’t you wanna be… more than friends. So hold me tight and don’t let gooooo, dooon’t let goooo. Have the right to lose control, dooon’t let goooo.

Alice giggled softly, listening to Dana’s beautiful singing, and melting into the words she was saying, even if they weren’t her own invention.

Alice: Tonight has been soooo much fun.

Dana: It sure has, especially because of the company.

Alice: Mmm-hmm, and even moreso because its far from over.

Dana took advantage of the words about to be sung in the song they were dancing to, prompting Alice to sing the line to her.

Dana: Mmmm do tell…

Alice: There’ll be some love making, heart breaking, soul shaking love.

Dana melted into Alice’s arms and started softly kissing her neck hearing those words. Alice’s hands gently roamed all over Dana’s back, occasionally caressing her cute butt. Dana did not flinch, she welcomed the touch and increased the fire of her kisses, working her way up to Alice’s lips where they fell into a slow sensual kiss.

Bette and Tina watched this scene unfold and could feel the fire between them, even from so far away from the action. Even when the song ended, Dana and Alice stayed together kissing for a few moments longer, till the crowding of the dance floor and the beat of the faster song shook them from their bliss. They headed back to Bette and Tina who were still kinda mesmerised by the moment. Dana and Alice needed a drink after that.

Alice: Phew, its so hot out there in the middle of the floor.

Bette: Yeah, it looked pretty hot from where we were standing too.

Dana: Hehe, imagine if it had been a nasssty song.

Alice: Oh baby, don’t even get me started.

They all laughed, enjoying each others company. They tried to spot Shane, knowing she’d be around somewhere. Dana spotted her in the corner pointing her out to the others, she was now talking to an exotic looking brunette.

Alice: God, she doesn’t waste any time. It’s like she thinks the female population will disappear if she doesn’t try everyone out.

Bette: She’s unbelievable.

Tina: Has she ever hit on any of us?

Bette: Not on me, I think we’ve been together all the time since we’ve known her.

Tina: Yeah that’s true.

Alice: I don’t think she’s hit on me.

Dana: If she has ever hit on me, I wouldn’t have understood what she was doing anyway.

Alice: Awwww baby.

Alice snuggled Dana and Bette and Tina laughed at Dana’s innocence.

Tina: OK, here’s a question, if we had been single when we met Shane, would you have hooked up with her if she hit on you?

Alice: God, I don’t know, to be honest… with that girl’s powers, I don’t think any of us could have resisted.

Bette: Geez, you make it sound like she can hypnotise people. I think anyone can resist if they aren’t attracted.

Alice: So you’re saying you’re not attracted to her?

Bette: I’m saying that if she didn’t appeal to me, she couldn’t just win me over. But having said that, I’d probably have let it happen. It all depends on if we knew she was a player, or just a person. We’re kinda too close to the situation now, we know what she’s like.

Tina: She has this kind of mystique about her, maybe we can ask her sometime what her trick is.

Dana: I think its her voice.

Bette: Oh yeah.

Tina: Definitely.

Alice: And her eyes, she can draw you in with her gaze.

Dana gives Alice an intense look, trying to draw her in. Alice goes into a stupor and looks at Dana with tongue hanging out. Bette and Tina laugh at the exchange. Dana giggles and pulls Alice in for a hug. Tina excuses herself to visit the lil girls room, Alice goes with her. Now Bette and Tina have a chance to get the gossip.

Tina: So all’s going well with Dana?

Alice: It’s unbelievable, I mean her transformation…

Tina: Yeah I saw, nothing like the shy lil one we used to know.

Alice: Oh I’m sure she still has that innocence somewhere… I just don’t think I’ll see much of that side tonight.

Tina: Oh really? Wow that must have been some kiss she gave you pinned up against the car.

Alice: Well, it wasn’t just the kiss, which was amazing by the way, it was that she started it, and the things she said, and the way she is. She’s truly incredible.

Tina: So tonight will be the night?

Alice: I’m pretty sure… I’m hoping so, I’m not going to push it, because I don’t want her to lose this side of her.

Tina: That’s great hun.

Alice: Thanks, so how are things with Bette?

Tina: They’re progressing, slowly slowly though, it will take time.

Alice: But heading in the right direction?

Tina: Yes…

Meanwhile out at the bar…

Bette: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you like this Dana.

Dana: Like what?

Bette: I dunno, you just seem to have this glow about you…

Dana: Oh that… well… it’s Alice, she’s making me glow I guess.

Bette: That she is. It suits you.

Dana: Thanks. So can I ask you something?

Bette: Shoot…

Dana: What’s she like… you know…

Bette: In bed?

Dana: Mmm-hmm.

Bette: God, it’s been a long long time, she’s probably changed since then. And besides, wouldn’t you rather find out for yourself?

Dana: Well yeah, but I just wanna know how I should go about it, whether she’s all hot n fiesty or snuggly and romantic.

Bette: I’m sure you’ll figure it out hun, just go with the flow.

Dana: I just don’t wanna ***** this up, scare her off, ya know.

Bette: Trust me, the way she looks at you, you couldn’t do anything wrong.

Dana: Really? How does she look at me?

Bette: Honestly?

Dana: Honestly.

Bette: Like I look at Tina.

Dana smiled and gave Bette a hug.

Dana: I hope you both work things out.

Bette: Me too hun, me too.

Dana: Excuse me for a minute.

Dana left just as Tina and Alice were returning. She headed over to Kit who was about to start her set.

Alice: Where’s Dana going?

Bette: I don’t know, she just excused herself for a minute, she’s over talking to Kit.

Tina: Maybe she’s requesting a song…

Alice: Oooh, maybe, this should be interesting.

The song ended and Dana was heading back to the group when she stopped in the middle of the dance floor and made eye contact with Alice who gazed back and smiled in response. Then the music started, the bassline was thumping, the rhythm was funky, it was “Naughty Girl” by Beyonce`. Bette recognised it first, and gave a knowing glance to Alice before whispering to Tina the name of the song. Dana raised her finger and ushered Alice to meet her on the dance floor.

Bette: Go get her tiger.

Alice: Growwwwll.

Tina and Bette giggled as they paid close attention to the scene. Alice reached Dana and immediately walked into her embrace as Dana held out her arms to bring her in. Their bodies were writhing slowly, hips swaying, pressed against each other in all the right places. The look they were giving each other was as intense as Tina and Bette had ever seen them, their hands were holding each other close, occasionally roaming as they moved in a slow ***** bump n grind to the exotic rhythms of the song.

Tina: Oh there’s Shane, she’s walking over to them.

Bette: Oh this could get interesting.

Shane had spotted the two on the floor and went over to say hi. She sidled up behind Dana and caught Alice’s eye. Alice smiled and Dana turned her head to see Shane. Shane was slowly moving forward to be pressed up against Dana. Bette and Tina couldn’t believe their eyes, they stared in awe. There was Dana sandwiched between Alice and Shane, the scene was too hot for words. They all appeared to be talking as they were dancing, only Shane could make an innocent conversation look so *****. Dana looked to be loving the attention, she truly was being the “Naughty Girl” tonight, and she hoped for that to continue once her and Alice left the club. Shane gave them each a kiss on the cheek and left them to their dance. Bette and Tina grinned as Shane walked over to them.

Bette: God Shane, you trying to organise a threesome there?

Shane: Wouldn’t you?

Tina: And I thought the two of them dancing ALONE was hot!

They laughed and watched the show as Alice and Dana continued their dance, getting more intimate by the moment. The bass pounding against their chests, or perhaps that was their hearts pounding in response to the new-found lust they were both experiencing. Dana sang the words to Alice, who gazed back, under Dana’s spell. Was this what Shane did to her women? she wondered.

Dana: You’re so *****, tonight I am all yours… The way your body moves across the floor. Feelin kinda N-A-S-T-Y, I just wanna take you home with me.

Alice smiled as she gently guided Dana’s hips into the dance, their bodies connecting, rubbing, the heat between them rising. Dana had the most adorable glint in her eye, she was ***** as *****, and Alice wanted her right then and there.

Dana: Tonight… I’ll be your naughty girl..

Alice: Mmmm good, shall we get out of here then?

Dana: Not yet…

Dana moved forward and placed her lips on Alice’s, kissing her with everything she had, the passion taking over her in that moment. Dana’s hand soon found Alice’s butt, squeezing gently as their kissing took on a mind of its own, they were no longer in control of themselves. Tina and Bette looked on as Alice and Dana appeared destined to do it right there on the dance floor. They parted breathlessly as the song came to an end, and stood there in a smouldering daze for a moment while they recollected themselves.

Tina: Who woulda thought watching two people dance would be so…

Bette: *****? Hot?

Shane: Incredibly horny?

Tina: All of the above!

Bette and Tina giggled nervously, knowing that if they’d been together like they used to be, they’d be leaving right now for a night of their own passion. Dana and Alice walked over arm in arm.

Tina: Ut-oh here they come, $20 says they make a quick getaway.

Bette: I’m not taking that bet, it’s too obvious.

Shane: Good for them.

Alice: We’re gonna go…

Dana: Yeah…

Bette: I’m not surprised, was almost gonna yell out “Get a room!”.

Tina: Not that we’re complaining.

Alice: Of course not, ya pervs.

Shane: Have fun you two, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Dana: Ummm what does that rule out?

Alice: For Shane… nothing.

Shane: Well if I could be of any assistance…

Dana pondered Shane’s proposition.

Dana: Hmmm… interesting…

She looked at Alice and raised her eyebrows. Bette and Tina looked on in astonishment.

Alice: We’ll be fine. Better luck next time Shane.

They all laughed and hugged goodbye. Alice and Dana walked out of the club, being watched by Bette, Tina and Shane.

Tina: Oh to be a fly on the wall at Dana’s tonight.

Bette: Would certainly make for interesting viewing, especially if their dancing is a guide.

Shane: Ah, believe me, its always the shy quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

Tina: True, and well we all know how shy Dana is, or should I say was.

Bette: Yes we certainly saw a different Dane tonight.

Shane: And lucky Alice gets to see a lot more.

Bette: I’m sure we’ll hear about it later.

Tina: And what they don’t tell us voluntarily, we will weasel out of them.

Shane: Hmmm so Dana could still be tied up… I like that idea.
