Dana: Yes, we are.

I: Nice.

We talk for about an hour before the doorbell rings. I hear Alice say something. The blonde walks in with Bette right behind her.

Bette: Hey, everyone.

She walks over to me and gives me a hug. She was only gone for an hour and a half but I missed her. She sits down next to me and our hands touch. I feel the skin she touched burn. In a good way. Bette asks Dana who she is and we sit there talking about school, celebs and music. I see that it’s almost six and we really need to get home.

I: Hey, B. We need to be home before dinner. Let’s go.

Bette: Thanks to remind me. Sorry, guys, we need to go.

Dana: We’ll see you guys around, right?

Bette: Sure. Bye.

I: Bye.

We walk out of the door and we talk about our new friends while we walk inside the house.

I: Hey, we’re home!

Mom walks out of the kitchen.

Doria: You enjoyed yourself?

Bette: We did. We are going to take the bus to school with them Monday.

Doria: Great, come and eat dinner.

We step out of our shoes and walk to the kitchen. We greet the rest of the family and begin eating.

I: Hey, Helena. How is Dusty?

She smiles.

Helena: Great, we went swimming.

I: You didn’t take your swimsuit so… Oh, no, you swam butt naked didn’t you? (I point my fork at her.)

Helena chuckles.

Helena: I did and it was great!

Doria: Helena?! At a public beach? Are you crazy?

Helena: Mom… It was at a place where there weren’t people okay. I’m not going to show everyone my naked ass okay?

P-J: Why did you wait until I was gone?

Helena smiles at P-J.

Helena: Because then you would see my girlfriend naked and I’m not letting that happen.

P-J: Who was saying I wanted to see Dusty naked?

Helena: You pervert…

Melvin: Please, everyone, I’m trying to eat.

I: So, P-J weren’t you scared of Dusty.

P-J: I need to admit, she is a little scary…

I: Aha! I told you!

Bette: I want to see the girl who makes my brother scared. You have a picture?
