Alice, are still there? Shane asked, You didnt hear a word we said, did you?

What? Of course I did. And no, I dont have plans. Oh wait, yes I do. Im supposed to have dinner tomorrow night. She looked nervously at Tina, Im supposed to meet Bette.

She looked at Tina, when she saw the lost look in Tinas eyes she continued, Im sorry, T. I didnt know you would be in town. Ill just cancel. Tell them I need to pack or something.

Tina composed herself, Dont worry Al. Its not like I thought her name wouldnt come up. I mean I am in LA after all. I just hadnt thought it all through yet. Go to dinner. It will give me some time with Dana.

Im sorry, Tina.

Stop it, it really is ok. Im glad you guys are all still her friends. For a while, I wasnt sure that was going to happen. Shes always needed you. Its not a problem, Alice, really, ok?

If youre sure, then ok. But say the word and Ill get out of it.

Thanks Al, but itll be fine. Tina looked over at Cara who was now resting her head on Dana, I think I need to get Cara to the hotel for a nap.

Hotel??? You arent staying at a hotel. Youre staying with me. Shane said.

No, we went over this already, you dont have room for both of us and Dana. The hotel is fine.

Well, if you arent staying with Shane then stay with me, T Alice said, Dana and I have the room. Come on, itll be fun.

Are you sure? This one wakes up really early.

Its not a problem. Only cute girls are allowed to wake me up early. Its settled. You stay with me. Right Cara, you get to say with you Aunt Alice!! Why dont we all meet up at my place for dinner? Ill cook.

Tina shot Alice a look, You are going to cook?? Are you trying to get us sick on our first night in town?

Hey, I can cook.

T, she actually can. She cooks for me all the time. Its pretty good too. Dana replied.
