————————August 2005———————–

Looking around at the newly acquired staff break room with its lush black leather couches, two 42” plasma screen tv’s a mini bar (staff choices), pool table and hot tub no one would have guessed just 3 years ago this place was a dump. Bette can feels a lump in her throat not only seeing what her and Kit have accomplished this past 3 years since taking over the club from Marina, but also looking now at her employees who are sitting around chatting and realized that they have become her best friends and feel they are a family. After graduating with an M.B.A from Yale Bette had been working for a presitigous firm for a couple years working her way up the good ol’ corporate ladder. During this time however, she received a call from Kit asking her to think of a getting involved in a business venture with her. Bette knew it was risky but wanted to give her sister the positive encouragement and took a leap of faith, and again glancing around the club, a huge smile lights up her beautiful face as she thinks back as how this all got started

~~~~~~~~~~Previously (Jan 2002~~~~~~~~)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bette : Kit I don’t know about this ( Looking around at the now abandonded warehouse). Do you honestly think this is a wise investment?

Kit: Baby Sis, I know you are skeptical but I have been in the music industry for sometime and I am telling you we have a great market here in West Hollywood for this we just need to get the right people, right music and we can make it work!
Bette: Kit, that’s a fine idea but there is a big difference in playing music and running a club. We have to worry about staff, food, liquor , permits.. and the list goes on.

Kit: I know this, I may not have a degree but I do have some common sense Bette, and anyways doesn’t Kylie own a club in Chicago?

Bette exclaims: OMG!! your right. How could I have forgot that Kylie owns that hot lil club down near the waterfront, how could I have forgot. I haven’t talked to her for a few months now.

Kit Frowns , : Bette you have known that girl since you
Were 8 years old, ***** she was the only friend that stuck with you when you came out 5 years ago. Why haven’t you talked to her.

Bette: Kit, its not that I haven’t wanted too we have both been busy with our careers, and your right I should give her a call and maybe she can come up here and tell me what she thinks.

Kit hugs Bette ” Thanks Baby Sis I think you are going to be surprised what we can accomplish together.

After glancing around once more Bette pulls out her cellphone from her purse and calls the one person who has stuck with her through everything

** KY Jelly Inc how may I help you**– Kylie Says

Bette: OMG Kylie I cannot believe you still answer you phone like that what if your mother calls.

Kylie: Bette, sweetheart I know it is you there is such a thing as caller id. (laughing softly). Anyways how are you? We haven’t talked in a while so what do I owe the pleasure of being graced with your call?

Bette: Actually, I have a huge favor to ask you. Do you think you would be able to come out to LA anytime within the next week?

Kylie (sounding worried) Why Bette is something wrong with you or Kit?

Bette (feeling guilty) I guess I need to call more huh? No, Kit is thinking of buying an abandoned club and I was wanting your input in some things as well as I would really like to catch up with you.

Kylie laughs, well you are in luck. I would do anything for the Porter sisters but I was going to give you a call later this week and see what you were doing anyways as I have to bring the lil brat up anyways to checkout UCLA campus.
