“Uhh, Alice? Are we okay?” Bette asked because she hadn’t seen Alice like this before.

“Yea, yea, you guys are fine. Any side effects that you guys are feeling?”

They both looked at each , trying to figure one another out and they both answered simultaneously, “No.” “Nope.”

“Good… Good… Goody, alright I’ll see you guys for the final test in another three days. Ok and try and get plenty of sleep in between time, okay?” Alice said practically shoving them out the door. “Alrighty, bye now.” she slammed the door in their faces as they both stood stupefied by what just happened.

“That’s weird even for her.” Tina said with her jacket still in her hand. Bette agreed, and turned to Tina almost on auto pilot and began helping her with her coat and scarf. When Tina had turned around and caught Bette’s eyes she was captivated. Everything in her wanted to kiss Bette but she was sure Alice said absolutely no interaction until after the experiment was finished. At the very least she wanted to take her out for dinner. Bette felt the same way and couldn’t bring herself to pull her eyes away from Tina’s, until one of Alice’s neighbors closed their door, jolting them back to reality.

“I uhh, I guess… I’ll see you later then?” Tina finally shook out.

“Absolutely.” Bette said without breaking her penetrating stare from Tina. Tina turned and walked away still feeling the warm stare all throughout her being as she added extra body to her swagger.

“Damn, three days.” Bette muttered under her breath.

Later that night

　

Bette was falling asleep and her head felt like it was suddenly under water and she couldn’t stop this feeling or wake up. Everything went dark , and she could barely make out the voice calling her name.

“Is this a dream?” she heard her own muffled voice and couldn’t make out the face in front of her.

“I think so.” again this voice was talking to her.

“Then who are you?” Bette asked.

“Tina.” and everything zoomed into focus and became crisp and bright. Her eyes focused and she saw her standing in front of her smiling wide like before.
