“Actually we haven’t had much chance to speak about anything with Ashley. I feel like I’ve been watched by the Gestapo and she’s the evidence.” Bette looked at Ashley and seriously asked, “What is it you want us to remember and if you plan on playing games, then you are at the wrong table.”

“One place. Hyde.” She looked questioningly at all of them? Hoping that the penny would drop for at least one of them and she looked at Bette intently.

“I’ll be damned! It is new Tina, oh well that’s what I kept calling you that night.” Helena was the first to speak up. “Night out at Hyde? Us two trying to cheer Bette up?” She questioned her friends trying to jog their memories.

“Oh well. In that case, thanks.” Shane said boringly to Ashley whom, she only just realized is blonde and if you were really drunk, could be Tina.

“What about you lover?” she questioned Bette.

“I guess the cheering didn’t work. Thanks all the same.” Bette answered dismissively.

“I don’t know what I expected, but this was not it.” Ashley stood up, looking dejected as she said her goodbyes and sauntered off.

“Now I feel bad.” Shane said as she watched Ashley walk away from them. “

“Really? I wouldn’t if I were you. People do that to themselves. I for one wouldn’t approach someone I met at a club years ago and hope for love and affection.” Helena said

“In the Helena world, people are always chasing you, so that should have been normal. I just got weird-ed out and a bit sorry for her because a bunch of drunk lesbians like ourselves don’t go out looking for love and affection. That you get at home, if not you are just plain out hounding, like Shane does.” Bette nudged a lost in thought Shane.

“Yeah, strange.” Shane slugged her beer down and offered to get the gang another round. Instead of ordering from their waitress, she stood up and headed towards the bar before they said anything.

“Well this is not just a watering hole after all Bette.” Helena stated to Bette as she perused the room with her eyes. Smiling at what she saw, she looked at Bette and raised her eyebrows at her friend.
