Dana was the first to arrive she wanted to make sure she didnt miss one minute of Alices visit. As she sat there playing with her drink she went over and over in her head what she was going to say to Alice. Alice I was a fool. Alice please move back it not the same without you. I promise Ill spend the rest of my life making up for hurting you so bad. she just wished she could come up the right words to get Alice back.

She also knew she had a larger hurdle to jump other then begging Alice to come back. That was Helena and Alices relationship. When Alice went to London everyone figured this was a passing fling for Helena. Everyone assumed Helena was using Alice to get back at Bette and Tina and Alice would be back in no time. But as time passed they realized that Helena really did have feelings for their friend and they forgotten how easy it was to love Alice.

Shane walked up to Dana while they waited for everyone else to get there. Shane herself had been feeling down about the way things had ended with Alice. She was so wrapped up in her new relationship with Carmen at the time she didnt notice how totally broken Alice was after her breakup with Dana. She like everyone else figured that Alice would bounce back, Alice always bounced back. But she was wrong and because no one was paying attention they had lost Alice. When she thought back to how Alice had always been there for her no matter what she needed, it made her feel ashamed that she wasnt there for her friend the one time she really did need her.

Bette and Tina were the last two of the original group of friends to arrive. They had both been a little apprehensive about this meeting. Bette because with all her accusations it had turned out that Franklin was the one that caused Bette to lose her job not Helena. Franklin had been waiting for the day he could fire Bette ever since Provocations. After the hiring of Leo and all Bettes personal problems, he jumped at the first opportunity to get rid of her. Then Bette had later found out from her old assistant James that Helena had tried to talk him out of firing Bette for the sake of Tina. She had even threatened to pull future funding if Franklin went through with the firing. But Franklin hated Bette so much he didnt care and went ahead with the firing.
