Bette grinned as Tina started nibbling on her ear.

"Damn Tina you just don’t care do ya?" Alice said reaching out to grab the kettle.

"No!" Helena screamed.

Alice picked up the kettle holding a towel in her hand. She gave Helena a look and said, "what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, it’s just the kettle is hot," Helena stammered.

"Uh, I know, that’s why I used the towel to pick it up," Alice said laughing.

"Ha idiot," Tina said as Bette stood up and had Tina wrap her legs around her waist. She moaned as she kissed Bette firmly and Bette walked her towards the bedroom.

"No! No! We gotta take the scenic route!" Helena yelled after them, "Bette!"

"Helena, Helena!" Alice said shaking her, "wow that nightmare really shook you up didn’t it?"

"It wasn’t a nightmare Al," Helena said.

"Oh baby, I bet it just felt realistic," Alice said, "come on let’s go fix our hair."

Helena took a shower and washed her face, trying to tell herself that the dream was just that: a dream. She had almost convinced herself when she heard a yelp from outside the shower.

"Ow! Goddammit!" Alice cried.

"No!" Helena screeched jumping out of the shower with a towel on. She rushed to her side as Alice nursed her burnt hand.

"Honey are you alright?" Helena said.

"Damn that was stupid, I grabbed the wrong end of the curling iron," Alice said hopping from foot to foot.

"Oh God," Helena said running into the kitchen. She took an icecube from the fridge then ran back to the bathroom. She gently placed the cube on Alice’s burnt hand and Alice sighed in relief.

The blonde looked at the green-eyed brunette as she gently tended to her wound. "Thank you," she said. Helena gave her a sad smile.

Alice leaned forward and kissed Helena on the lips. "I love you," she said.

Helena gulped. So far she was failing in changing things, this just had to work. "I love you too."

Alice’s eyes widened. "What did you just say?"

"You heard me," Helena said, for the very first time in four years, "I love you."

Although Bette and Tina had made them horribly late, Helena insisted on taking the scenic route even though it was the longer way. Bette and Alice didn’t argue since they noticed Helena was acting strangely.
