Bette and Stevie arrived at The Planet hand in hand.  They were greeted happily by everyone.  They were happy the couple was back together and working things out and each of them had something they needed to thank Stevie for.  She humbly accepted all their thanks and praise.  She was grateful that they each understood she did it not to win back their friendship so much but rather to show them that she cared about each of them and realized she had abandoned them just as much as she had her own family.  As a matter of fact they were her family now.  All had happily accepted their role as ‘aunt’ to Xavier and gone above and beyond what she could have ever expected as such.  She was happy that she was getting her life back and determined to maintain it for as long as humanly possible.

Stevie sat at a table talking to Max, Alice and Tasha.

Alice:  “Stevie this party was such a good friggin idea.  Why didn’t I think of it?”

Stevie:  “I have no clue Alice.”

Bette sat at the bar talking to Kit, Helena and Jenny.

Kit:  “Let me see that ring girl.”

Bette held up her hand.

Helena:  “Wow, what are those stones?”

Bette:  “She said their all colored diamonds.  She doesn’t believe in blood diamonds so she opted for colored stones that didn’t come from Africa.”

Jenny:  “How sweet and conscientious.”

Bette nodded in agreement.

Max:  “So Stevie when are we going to get your site up and running so we can have another one of these parties?”

Stevie:  “Well I just finished the studio so after I take pictures of it you can get started.”

Max:  “Well finish actually, I have the template all laid out and Jenny finished the bio and description.”

Stevie:  “Nice.  So I say by next week we should be ready to go then.”

Alice:  “So you have to get your tax i.d. number registered so you can file and get employee’s.”

Stevie:  “Oh right.  Thanks Alice.  I’m sorry it took me so long to hook up with you.”

Alice:  “Look shit happens.  I understand.  Let’s just move on and get this thing up and running.  I already have friends trying to have you take their picture.”
