Tina: That is a surprise.

Bette: Aw, come on tell me.

Bette made a pouty face.

Tina: Nope. That little sad face of yours won’t work this time. I want to surprise you.

Bette: Fine then.

Bette smiled at Tina and walked over to Angelica, and kissed her on the fore-head.

Bette: I’m going to go run over to The Planet to see Kit. Do you guys need anything while I’m out?

Tina: No thanks, we’re good.

Bette got dressed and drove over to The Planet. Shane took this opportunity to go over and talk to Tina. She came through the back door.

Shane: Good morning you guys.

Tina: Hey Shane.

Shane: So Bette tells me that you guys have a date tonight.

Tina: Yeah, thanks so much for watching Angelica. I want tonight to be perfect.

Shane: I’m glad you talked to her.

Tina: Me too; the timing just seemed right, I’m really happy she’s willing to try again.

Shane: You see; I had a feeling things would work out.

At The Planet…

Bette made her way through the usual morning crown to Kit’s office. She saw the door was open and walked in. Kit was sitting at her desk.

Bette: Hey Kit.

Kit: Morning Bette. I’m glad you came by I was going to call you.

Bette: Oh, about what?

Kit: Well, you know I think its time that you start dating again. And I just happen to know this girl Kris, she cute, single and—

Bette: Kit, you know I hate it when you do this.

Kit: Do what? I’m just trying to help.

Bette sat down in a chair by Kit’s desk.

Bette: Please, I don’t need to be set up. Besides, I have a date tonight.

Kit looked shocked.

Kit: No way! With who?

Bette: Well, she’s beautiful… blonde… has wonderful daughter…

Kit: If I didn’t know any better I’d say you just described Tina.

Bette didn’t say anything.

Kit: Oh no…you mean…its Tina?

Bette: Yep.

Kit: What?!

Bette: We’re going out to dinner, what’s the big deal?

Kit: What’s the big deal?! Bette you can’t be serious?

Bette: She said she wanted to try and work things out and you know what; I do too.

Kit: I can’t believe this.

Bette: Kit, I thought you of all people would be happy for me. What do you have against Tina?

Kit was about to speak, but she didn’t. Instead she sighed.

Kit: Nothing, I don’t have anything against Tina…I just don’t what to see you get hurt again.

Bette: I know that I’m taking a risk with doing this; especially because of what happened last time. But Kit, I love her, and don’t want to be with out her. I just…I…

Bette started to cry; Kit went over to her sister and hugged her.

Kit: I’m sorry.

Bette: I just want things to work this time…I want to have my family back.

Bette continued to cry; Kit looked at her sister; she knew that Bette really loved Tina.

Kit: If this is what you want to do…then I’m happy for you.  

Bette let out her emotions. She had kept them in for so long she couldn’t help but cry; even though she was happy that things were working out so far.

Bette: I better get home.

Kit: Okay. Have fun tonight and let me know how it went.

Bette: I will.

Bette left The Planet; she got in her car and drove home; a little nervous about the night ahead of her… but more excited than anything.

TBC…
