As Tina exited the cab outside LAX she looked around, searching for any familiar faces. She always seemed to be the first one to get anywhere, which was especially embarrassing at high school parties back in the day. As the cab driver helped her with her bags Tina spotted a familiar figure leaning against a nearby wall puffing on a cigarette. As soon as their eyes locked Tina gave a small wave and Shane stubbed out her cigarette and made her way over.

"Hey Tina, how’s it going?" Said Shane, pulling the blonde in for a hug.

"Good thanks." She smiled, pulling back from the hug and staring at Shane’s bags, or lack there-of.

"You not bringing any luggage?" Tina asked, cocking her eyebrow.

Shane let out a small chuckle, "Alice and Bette are inside with the bags," she smiled, looking down at Tina’s three reasonably large bags.

"Um, Tina, you know we’re going for 3 days right?" Asked Shane, a small grin gracing her lips.

Tina pursed her lips and nodded, now feeling slightly embarrassed about her excessive amount of luggage. The blonde composed herself and looked back at Shane, who was lifting one of Tina’s bags onto her shoulder.

"Always be prepared," Tina said, winking at Shane.

Shane chuckled again, "Hey, I don’t judge," she smiled, lifting another of Tina’s bags onto her other shoulder and walking towards the front entrance.

As they entered the bustling airport Shane spotted Alice flicking through a magazine on one of the chairs. As they approached the journalist, Shane swung Tina’s bags off her shoulder and placed them on the floor next to Alice and Bette’s luggage, Tina following suit.

"Thanks Shane," Tina smiled.

"Damn, think I need another cigarette after that," she smiled glancing at Tina.

Alice looked up and noticed the amount of luggage being dropped next to her.

"Woah Tina what the hell, We’re going to Mexico not friggin’ Kilimanjaro." Exclaimed Alice, as she began rummaging through Tina’s bags. Tina sighed and chose to ignore Alice’s comment. Her eyes searched around for Bette and she spotted the brunette at the checkout desk, arguing with the woman behind it.

Tina chuckled as she noticed how terrified the woman looked, Tina imagined that being confronted by an angry Bette Porter was not an enjoyable experience.
