"Thank You Love, and you bought it from the lady with her mouth still open and told her that I was a Schizophrenic that you were returning back to a mental hospital." Bette smiled as Tina started turning a different shade of pink from trying to contain her laughter. "But I still had it when I moved in so I put our first picture in it."

"Bette, that is not our first picture."

"Yes it is." Bette looked at the picture of Tina barely hanging out of a tree and Bette on the ground laughing as Tina balanced herself on Bette’s shoulders.

"Babe my hair is short in this one. When I first got to school my hair was long. When we get home I’ll show our real first picture, and then you’ll owe me. Because knowing you, you’ll debate me all the way there."

"That’s because I know I’m right."

"Yea say that now." Tina said  smacking her butt and sauntering into the kitchen. Looking at the sexy sway of Tina’s hips made Bette’s heart dance. This daunting move was a little overwelming at times but she luckily had her best friend and lover with her every step of the way.

Although Alice wanted to say goodbye to her friends with a huge bash with everyone they knew partying until morning and sending their friends off tired and restless, she had to admit that this little intimate dinner was much better.  Bette, Shane, Tina and Alice were all sitting around outside on the patio furniture enjoying some some take out and fun stories.

"And I swear Bette if you don’t thank me in your Grammy speeches I’m going to turnin every little dirty secret I have on you into every newspaper in the country."

"And then the world." Shane added trying to smile with her mouth full of noodles.

"Exactly!" Alice exclaimed.

"I’ll take that as a compliment Al, and I’ll try and remember the little people along the way." Bette said hitting Alice with a piece of her egg roll.

"Already throwing her scraps at us." Shane said flinging back some noodles at Bette smilingly.

Tina was sitting back with Bette sitting up in between her legs watching as everyone was so happy and laughing, never mind the city and the familiarity of it all, this was all she was really going to miss. "I love y’all." she said out of the blue.
