“I will Miss Astin,” he said tipping his hat and getting back into the car.  Amy watched him go, seeing Tina closing the phone.  “So are we all set?”

            “We are, and Angus told me I was allowed to stay out passed midnight, which I haven’t done since I had Angelica,” laughed Tina.

            “Well then, let’s see if we can keep you up until the sun rises in the east,” quipped Amy batting her eyes and Tina led her to her car.  “Just one thing, we cannot talk about our ex’s all night, it’s forbidden, out of the question.”

            “Agreed,” said Tina with relief in her voice.  They got into the car, driving off and going to hunt down a suitable place for a good meal.

            “Tegan is a hell raiser,” admitted Amy over drinks.  They’d moved from La Boheme to Twilight, one of the only clubs in town that was open.  Many of the patrons of WeHo were still holed up after the latest terrorist attacks. 

            “That bad huh?” asked Tina over the thumping music.  Neither of them mentioning that the club was owned by Jo, trying to ignore that small fact.

            “Bad?  Yeah, she slept with two of my aides last year, and then was promptly kicked out of six boarding schools in less than two years.  Hell raiser,” affirmed Amy taking a sip of the very strong Long Island Ice Tea that Tina had ordered her.  They were trying every drink on the menu, or at least, that was the goal.  Sitting at the long green neon light bar, “Then again, I am her mother…”

            “I’m sure you weren’t that bad,” laughed Tina, trying to picture Amy as anything but the well dressed Senator from California. 

            “Ha!  Have you read the books that you-know-who wrote?” asked Amy choking on her drink.  They’d been calling their ex’s you-know-who in a very Harry Potter like manner as if saying their names would leave them cursed.

            “I have,” said Tina.

            “I was worse, drugs, sex, pink hair, there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do,” assured Amy with a mischievous smile.
