“Sure.”

The Planet.

7:22pm.

“How are you feeling, Rose?”

“I’m good.”

“I love you.” Said Tina, she then looked around, in search of familiar faces. She finally spotted Kit. “Hey Kit!” Tina waved.

Kit walked over to the couple’s table. “Oh my goodness, is that Tina Kennard, Ms Sunshine?!”

“It sure is, Kit!” Tina jumped up, and hugged Kit with a passion. “I’ve missed you, so much, Kit. Where’s the gang?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen them, today.”

“Oh, how rude of me, Rose, this is Kit Porter, the owner of this place. Kit, this is Roseanne, my girlfriend.”

The two strangers got acquainted with one another. “Nice to meet you, Roseanne.”

“Oh, please, call me Rose, and the pleasure is mine, Ms. Porter.”

“Now, it’s Kit to you, Rose.” They smiled.

“So, how’s Bette?”

“She’s good. You missed her by ten minutes.”

“Who’s Bette, Tina?”

“Oh just an old friend.” Tina smiled.

Bette’s House.

8:11pm.

“Do you think we’re ready for this, Bette?”

“I think we are, Evie. We just stick to what we planned, and everything else will be fine.”

“You’re a wonderful person, Bette.”

“Thank you, sweetie, and thank you for everything. I owe you lot.”

“I really want this to work.”

“Me too.”

Back at the Hotel.

9:03pm.

“I really like Kit, Tina. She’s sweet.”

“Yes, she is. She’s wonderful. When I was out here, she really took care of me, actually, the whole gang did. They made me feel like I belong.”

“So, tell me about Bette.”

Tina stopped in her track, and turned to her girlfriend. “I’m not going to lie to you. Bette, and I, we used to date, but it’s over, now.” Tina stated matter-of-factly.

Rose smiled. “It’s okay, Tina. Don’t be so serious. I just wanted to know, because every time you say her name, your face light up. Now, I know why.”

“It’s nothing, Rose. She and I, we’re just friends.”

“I know. Don’t worry, babe.”

“Good, as long as you know, because I love you.” Tina kisses Rose on the cheek, before hoping in bed. “Now, get in bed, I’ll show you around the city, tomorrow.”
