Alice pulled immediately away, keeping Dana at arms length, You need to get ready for your match.

I dont care about the match.

Yes, you do.

I dont want to let you go. Promise me, youll wait for me after the match. Dont just leave without seeing me. Promise?

Yeah, alright. I promise.

Even if they want to leave, ok?

Ok.

Dana reluctantly removed her hand from Alices waist. Want to help me change?

I shouldnt. Ill wait for you out there. Good luck. Alice turned and walked out leaving Dana wondering why she seemed so off. She found Bette and Tina sitting at a table by a small lake. The sun shone brightly down upon them. Alice squinted, Hey, guys. Are you trying to bake me out here?

Tina smiled, Its not that bad. You find Dana?

Yeah, I just wished her luck and all.

Thats it? Did you talk?

Not really. Can we go sit in the shade so I can get a little drunk before the match?

Bette frowned and looked at Tina before returning her gaze to Alice, Sure, can you wait until Tina finishes her martini and then well all go back to the bar?

Whatever. Ill meet you there.

Is it just me or does it feel like Alice has PMS all the time?

Tina put her martini down and leaned close to Bette. I noticed it, too. Shes been quiet lately.

Do you think bringing her here was a good idea?

She seems ok so far. Shes been through a lot, Bette. Give her time.

How can you not be more worried about her?

I am worried. I dont think she needs to be smothered either. Im just trying to find ways to keep her busy. Its not just Alice, Bette. Shane and I have been calling Dana like ten times a day and she wasnt calling back. I thought she could use some friends.

Youre right. I havent been fair to Dana.

I was hoping that maybe they just missed each other and would start acting like themselves. I thought I could kill two birds with one stone.
