Pink extended her hand: “ It’s nice to meet you Bette, you have a very talented and persuasive sister”

Bette chuckled: “ she hasn’t changed a bit”

Kit: “ and this lady with my sister, is Tina Kennard. She was the one that made this place you see now”

Pink: “ well Tina it is an honour to meet you, you have a fabulous talent. Kit hasn’t stopped raving about you”

Tina: “ It is an honour to meet you too….. And it was Kit’s vision, I just had the know how to make it happen”

Pink: “Modest too”

Tina was blushing and trying to hide it… they made small talk for a while longer… Pink’s PA informed her that the press were on their way, and that they had to leave.

Pink said her goodbyes, and bid the baying crowds a final farewell.

2am came and went, the crowds were still partying, Shane was smiling through the pain of her broken body. Alice and Dana still at her side. Bette and Tina chatted, and laughed. Kit made the rounds, ever the dutiful hostess.

Bette stifled a yawn: “oh god I’m sorry, I must be more tired than I thought”

Tina looked down at her watch: “no wonder, it’s gone 3.…..!”

Bette: “your kidding me”

Tina: “I kid you not… I think I’m going to make a move…. I’ll just go say good bye to Kit and the others…”

Bette watched as Tina walked away…(do I ask her back to mine?…erm)

Bette watched as Tina embraced Kit, and then kissed Alice, Dana and Shane goodbye. She walked back over to Bette.

Tina: (do I ask her to come back to mine? ……erm)

Bette smiled: “I’ll see you out, yes?”

Tina: “I’d like that yes thanks”

Bette put her arm through Tina’s and they headed for the door… Outside cabs were lining the streets.

Bette turned to Tina: “so”

Tina: “so”

Bette: “ I was going to ask if you erm…. Wanted to come back to mine for ….. Coffee maybe?”

Tina smiled: “ I was thinking the same thing…” she frowned.

Bette: “What?”

Tina: “ maybe it’s not such a good idea……I don’t want to scare you off, and I think maybe we should do this properly, don’t ya think?”
