Her introduction to a new life began and progressed over the course of several
months. But from that day forward she was introduced to a whole new existence. The little group she came to know became her guide into this world, and Alice helped her deal with things…Bette became absorbed in this new life. She started to revel in the new found sexuality, to the point that she became a
master in that kind of love that so perplexed her once.

It was uncanny, and when previously “it was never sexual”, now it was always
sexual. She would meet women, share the experience, and move on. Eventually, she thought, the thing she always seemed to search for would make itself known, and even though that feeling never dissipated, she thought that this new life was the answer.

One night, one of many the group spent out, Alice engaged a young woman who saw Bette getting drinks for the group, “what are you looking at?” “Oh that tall
beautiful woman at the bar…wow,” the young woman answered. “Well, you know how to pick’em, that’s a Cassanova.” Dana interrupts “Alice…aren’t you
overdoing it just a little?” Shane jumps in, “Yeah, take it down a notch Al.” “Fine,” she says to the young woman, “see if you can catch her eye and then
enjoy the ride”. “Is she a wild lover?”, asks the woman. “Let me put it to you this way,” said Alice, “…she is a master of the digital arts, and well-versed in the art of oral advocacy.” “Al!!!”, shouts Dana. The woman smiles and goes over to the bar. “Hey, you know I’m right…I know it…I knew it..knew it first hand,” Alice replies, while her gaze descends and she takes a sip of the diminishing martini to sooth herself.

After Bette’s first few months in this new world, she fell into Alice’s own world but Alice came to realize that with Bette it was for one time solely sexual and this particular union was ultimately only a platonic one, and a strong one at that.

Bette- (the scene reverts to her living room discussion with Alice)…the
truth?

Alice- yes my OLD friend…now get up, get dressed, and let’s get moving.

(They prepare and depart for the Planet.)
