"Yes. I could go for some scrambled eggs with cheese," Jodi replies.

"Scrambled eggs and cheese, coming right up," Bette says, kissing her again, releaving her body from the sheets, which once shielded her body, pulling on a t-shirt-the one that Tina gave her for her 30th birthday-and exiting the room en route to the kitchen.

The phone rung and Bette couldn’t hear the caller through the static. "Hello," Bette called out.

"Good morning, Bette. Did I wake you?" Tina asked, pushing the phone closer into her ear.

"No, you didn’t wake me," Bette replies, smiling. She enters the kitchen and takes a pan from the lower cabinet. She places it on the stove, retrieves the eggs and butter, and grabs a bowl and clean spoon to beat the eggs with. "I’m surprised to be hearing from you at the crack of dawn."

"I know I’m sorry about that. I didn’t plan this you know. It sorta happened at the last minute. I’m afraid that there’s been a change of plans," Tina says, turning onto Sunset and Fairfax.

Bette’s face turns sour. "What happened?" Bette asked.

"I can’t find a babysitter. Hazel’s leaving town today at noon. And, I’m afraid that I’ll have to bring Angie to work with me," Tina replies.

"No, no, you don’t have to do that. I can watch Angie for you. And, I don’t have a problem bringing her into work with me. I’m sure James will love to care over her for me," Bette says, cutting the stove on and tossing a teaspoon of butter into the pan.

"No, no, I can’t do that, Bette. You’ve already helped me enough. Can Angus baby-sit, for us?" Tina asked desperately.

"I don’t know. But, I could call to find out. I’m sure he’ll be able to fit in. How come I didn’t think of that?” Bette asked herself out loud.

"Because, you’re a very caring individual, who’s not afraid to step in and take the initiative," Tina replies.

Bette blushes instantly and reconsiders Tina’s comment from the night before-You are controlling, Bette. You can be a maniac at times if things don’t go your way.""Really?""Yes, really. But, I’ve learned to adapt to your style and in the past I’ve cared enough to bypass any events, parties, or gatherings that you’ve happened to put together overnight. But, I’d give anything to be with someone like that," Tina replies, stroking Bette’s soft curls. Her comment did something to her. It reminded her that she still had a chance. A chance to be with Tina and move forward with their lives. "That was sweet of you to say. But, you’ve always been sweet, way better than a piece of candy," Bette says, totally flirting now. She doesn’t hear Jodi creep up behind her.

 Tina blushes red-faced. "So, what time should I bring her by?" Tina asked, checking the time.

"About sevenish. I should be dressed and ready by then. Hey, are you thinking of going by the cafe?" Bette asked.

"No, not today. I’m on my way to the office. I have to be there by seven-thirty. I’m meeting with Jenny and her director again. This is the last meeting before the first shoot. I’m nervous as can be. Everything depends on whether I keep my job or not," Tina replies.

"Wow that must be earth-shattering."

"It is, trust me. I’m scared, Bette. What if this doesn’t turn out to be a hit?"

"Then, you take the lost and do it all over again. You never pinpoint something on the first try."

"Hey, take that back," Tina demanded. "You got me on your first try," Tina clarifies.

"You’re right, I’m sorry," Bette says. "You’re–" Jodi nudges Bette. "Wo…Wo….Wo…"

"Wo? What’s going on over there?" Tina asked.

"Jodi’s here. She…She stayed the night. Yes, she stayed with me last night," Bette replies.

"So you guys made up, great," Tina says, feeling sad inside.

"Hi, Tina," Jodi says into the phone.

"Hello….Jodi," Tina replies totally bothered. "Bette…"

"Yeah?"

"I’ll see you soon, ok. I’m going to stop by my office and grab a few things. I need to study before the meeting with the cast and crew later," Tina replies.

"Study what?" The phone goes dead in her ear. She stares at the receiver and places it on the counter.

"What happened?" Jodi asked.

"Nothing," Bette replies, frowning and looking away. "The food’s almost ready."
