Tina: “what’s that gold top right there?”

Bette: “where?”

Tina: “right there…the one with that gold thing on the top”

Bette: “oh….that’s the state house…and just before you get to it…there’s an ice skating rink….”

Tina: “no…”

Bette: “yes”

Tina: “well can we go?”

Bette: “sure”

Bette takes Tina’s hands in hers and escorts her across the street…They walk through the park towards the ice skating rink…Tina takes pictures along the way…

Tina: “babe…look…”

Bette: “what?”

Tina: “look at that hawk…god it’s huge”

Bette: “and dangerous…”

Tina: “I wanna take a picture of you…against that tree right there”

Bette: “ok”

Tina: “now…back up a bit…oh…yup right there…now pose for me”

Bette poses and Tina takes the picture…

Bette: “I wanna take one of you”

Tina: “ok…”

Bette: “how about over there where the squirrels are?”

Tina: “good idea…”

Tina walks over where the squirrels are…They mind their own business and carry on with playing with one another…Searching for more nuts…

Bette: “say cheese”

Tina: “cheese”

Bette takes the picture and hands the blond back her camera…Tina takes more photos of nature that surrounded her…It was perfect and her project was partially completed…They finally arrive at the busy skating rink…There were more people there then down on Washington street where the shopping plaza’s were…Tina couldn’t wait…She took off her shoes and puts her skates on…She turns to Bette…

Tina: “are you coming?”

Bette: “no…I’m not much of a skater”

Tina: “awww…come on…don’t be a wuss”

Bette: “I am no wuss…skating just ain’t my thing…”

Tina: “please babe…for me…can you do it for me?”

Bette: “but what if I fall?”

Tina: ” you won’t fall…you trust me right?”

Bette: “I do”

Tina: ” ok…then grab a set of skates and join me…please”

Bette: “ok…but just for a little while…we have to get back to the hotel”

Tina: “ok…come on…the clock is ticking”

Bette puts some skates on…She walks along the snow to the sides of the rink…Tina enters first and then Bette does second…She almost falls…But Tina grabs her…

Bette: “whew!…I almost cracked my *****”

Tina: “yeah you did…come on take my hand”

Bette takes it and off they go…around and around and around…Tina led the way…Before you know it Bette wasn’t afraid anymore…If anything she was confident and happy…Everything was perfect…The setting, the mood, everything…Life was good was what Bette thought…She checked the time and it was time to go…So she and Tina gathered their things and change back into their boots…
