“Sounds like the gallery is on fire,” Tina says softly.

“Franklin is freaking the fuck out because he thinks Sonja Quinton is going to pull out on bringing her work to the CAC, when Frankin knows that I am a very close acquaintance with her, and should trust what I am doing,” Bette said sitting at the table.

“You would think Frankin would have faith in your clients,” Tina says.

“Franklin is a fucking moron,” Bette annoyingly replies, as Shane sits.

“Franklin your boss,” Shane asks as she blows on her coffee.

“Yeah, idiot. Ugh.”

“Shane how are your appointments going,” Tina asks trying to clear the tension.

“Going great actually, my time slots are full, I even have that actress, umm, Sherrie Jaffie coming in.”

“Oh really, that’s, odd,” Bette states.

“Yeah, I don’t know how she got my name, but..”

“Who got your name,” Alice asks as both her and Jenny sit.

“Sherrie Jaffie,” Shane plainly states.

“Wow, Sherrie Jaffie? She’s hot. That new movie she’s in where she plays the assassin, nice,” Jenny says and sighs.

“Hello everybody,” Marina says with enthusiasm, and sets her tray down and distributes coffee and food. Jenny squirms in her seat, “we’re all here Alice, but, Dana,” she says looking around.

“Yeah, I called her about thirty minutes ago, she said she was on her way,” Alice says as she flips her phone open to call Dana again. Just as she pressed send Dana sauntered through the door.

“Oh my God, did you guys just see who walked in? I think it’s….is that….Dana Fairbanks,” Bette kids, “here, at The Planet?”

“You’re right! It is Dana Fairbanks,” Tina exclaims as Dana’s face turns beet red, and she smiles and sits.

“You guys! I’m not that big a deal,” she says as she brushes off their pretend fangirl exclaimations.

“Not that big a deal? Come on, you played in the same tournament as Anna Kournikova,” Jenny said.

“Seriously Jenny, Anna Kournikova can’t play for shit, she was only there to get people in the seats. She reminds me everyday why I’m repulsed by men.”

“Well, aren’t you playing in the same tournament as Venus and Serena in a few months,” Bette asks.

“Well, yeah.”

“See there you go. You underestimate your awesomeness,” Tina replies in her comforting, motherly voice.

“Enough about me, we’re here for Alice.”

“Yeah, what’s up Alice,” Shane asks.

“Well, you guys know that chart thing I started to do for the Los Angeles Times?”

“Yeah, that huge thing you have drawn on your wall,” Marina asks.

“Yes, well, the program manager at KWIX radio reads my section and has offered me a job!”

“Oh wow Alice that’s great,” Shane says and everyone chimes in their congratulations, “what are you going to be doing there? Are you going to be on air?”

“Yes, I’m gonna be on air, in the evening from six to eight. Talking about the chart and everything in the lesbian world.”

“That sounds great,” Dana replies and sits back and sulks in her chair.

“I would like you to be on the show sometime Dana,” Alice asks hopefully.

“I would love to but my manager wouldn’t approve. It would be a ‘bad career move’. I’m not out in the world, you know that, only you guys know the real me,” Dana said and frowned.

“You can’t hide in that closet forever,” Bette said.

“Yeah, I know,” Dana says as her phone rings, “ugh, it’s my manager. Hello?”

“Well, ladies I’ve got to get to the office before Franklin shits himself,” Bette says as she gets up, “I’ll see y’all later.”

“Bye baby,” Tina says as Bette kisses her goodbye.

“Yeah guys I’ve got to go, I have an emergency meeting at the club. Something about Subaru advertisements.”

“What,” Shane says excitedly.

“Yeah, I might get a huge endorsement deal out of Subaru. Full-page ads in every magazine, the works.”

“You’re saying that awfully coolly,” Jenny said.

“Really? Because I’m kind of freaking out on the inside,” Dana said, starting to breath heavily.

“Well, I hope everything works out great,” Tina says.

“Thanks,” Dana says as she gets up to leave.
