At home later that evening, Tina and Bette sipped tea as they sat together on the sofa making their plans. The excitement grew with every little suggestion made. Regardless of passed problems, theses two were now whole heartedly prepared for this adventure.

Tina got up and spun around the floor. “You know B,” she said this calls for a true celebration. I’ll be right back, you wait here she chuckled and walked out into the kitchen.

Bette sat waiting with curiosity wondering she was up too.

“Hey Tee,” She called out, don’t you think it a bit late to be drinking?

Tina then pooped back into the living room with a big smile on her face. Who needs that, I’ve got the good stuff. She held the pint of rocky road in her hand shaking it back and forth. Care to join me she said mischievously and then handed Bette a spoon and flopped down on the couch.

“Don’t mind if I do.” But, I can’t believe you have this in the house, she said.

Tina pulled off the top and took a big spoon full. She feed it to Bette. “It’s my private stash.” Our little secret,” she giggled. Than took a big bite her self.

Bette smiled. “Your secret is safe with me, she mumbled with a mouth full of rocky road.

They tapped their spoons together, to Tuscany Tina said.

“To Tuscany,” Bette replied.

It was the evening of Oct 8th. The girls had stopped in for drinks and to say farewell. Shane and Carmen plopped down on the floor together, while Dana and Alice were in the kitchen whipping up some new concoction Alice had conjured up.

“Ok everybody in the living room,” Alice demanded. She sat down the glasses and began to pour.

“What the ***** is this? Shane asked with a sour look on her face.

“Technically,” Al mumbled it’s called a hurricane

“It’s a what,” Bette exclaimed rolling her eyes as she looked at Tina and then at Kit. Kit shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

“But it is also known as F**ked up in a cup.

“That’s a new one to me Kit said. If you don’t mind, I’ll pass. No drinking for me, she winked at Bette.
