Hey Marina.  Shane nodded at her desperately fighting the urge to stare at the small luscious breast of the beautiful Amazonian woman before her.  Have you seen Bette around here?  Shane grabbed the triple shot that Marina made for her and quickly downed it while surveying The Planet. 

You just missed them sweetiedo you want to use the phone to try to catch them?  Marina smiled at Shane; the teenager had managed to capture all of her friends hearts, as well as hers.  She placed a muffin on the counter and nodded at Shane, the girl needed to fatten up.   Here take this, on the house.

Cool thanksand I dont need the phone, I have my own.  She pulled out her new Motorola and walked away from the counter to call Bette.   

Marina watched her for a moment before turning back to her duties.  She thought for a moment about how the unemployed teen had managed to get a mobile before deciding to ignore it.  It was none of her business, and she was not the type to ask questions.

Bettehiits Shane she was shocked at first that she didnt get Bettes voicemail, since her number would be unrecognized.  I was hoping I could meet you for lunchjust the two of us she stressed her eagerness to talk to Bette alone.  Sure Im here nowthank youokaybye.  She flipped her phone shut and bit into her muffin.  The day keeps getting better and better.  She walked back to their usual table waited for Bette to arrive.  Something about the mocha colored woman caused Shane to feel like she was trustworthy.  She loved Tina and Alice, but certain things she wanted to keep private and safe, and Bette seemed like the type that wouldnt look at Shane with pity.  She turned her attention to the door and followed Bette as she made her way back to her.  Heythanks for coming.

No problem Shane, were friendsfamilyand I always have time for my family!  Bette smiled and gracefully sat in the seat across from Shane careful not to mess up her outfit.  So what can I do for you?

Shane swallowed and built up her courage to tell Bette a little about her past.  Thus far she had been able to avoid all the questions she knew her new friends were eager to ask her.  Its not that she wanted to open up, but she needed Bettes help on a couple of things.  Anything we talk about  Shane gulped can it be kept betweenjust you and Iplease?
