Alice: “Here we are, back at the car. Oh I rhymed”

Ben: “Nice” she said as she opened the door.

Bette rolled her eyes and gently shook Tina awake. Tina squinted at the interior light that was now shining in her eyes, she lifted her head and and quickly when she realized she had been sleeping on Bette. She smiled and said “Sorry bout that.” Bette smiled back and repled “Absolutly not a problem.” Tina then climbed out of the car and as Bette made her way around to join Alice in the front.

Tina: “Thank you guys so much, I don’t know what I would have done if I had to deal with that alone. Sorry for the drama though.”

Alice: “Oh it’s ok, we had fun. Well as much fun as you can have bustin someone from the joint”

Bette: “So uh, I’ll see you at the planet then?” she held her breath waiting for the answer.

Tina: “I’ll be there” she simply replied before turning away.

Alice started the car and looked at Bette who looked as if she was glowing and smiled.

Alice: “Your sure your up to the challenge?”

Bette: “Absolutly” she replied without hesitation

Alice: “Good cause you guys are too ***** cute”

Tina watched them drive away and followed her brothers path to the car. As Tina aproached, Ben was checking out his newly aquired black eye in the side view mirror.

Ben: “Sorry again about tonight” he said standing up.

Tina didn’t reply, he mind was in a distant place, the land of confusion. She was silently trying to justifly why she didn’t really care about what Eric had done and why she was so comfortable in Bette’s arms. “What’s going on with me?” she wondered.

Ben: “Tina” he called growing concerned.

This time his voice brought her back to realitly. She looked at his and smiled, “Sorry im just tired, you ready to go home there Rocky or are you looking for round two?” she joked

Ben: “Hey if he’s willing”

Tina: “Im kidding, let’s go” she said as she climbed into the car.

Ben could see the battle Tina was having with herself, he didn’t know if she was upset about the night events or if the display he witnessed in the car was a result of his couciling. Could his word’s have opened her mind he wondered.
