“There’s nothing at home for me, just a big ole lonely bed, and all kinds of stuff that reminds me of Alice.  ShitDeb”.  Dana got up and started to shout at Deb behind the bar.  “C’mon give me a beer.”

Helena grabbed Dana and gave Deb an apologetic glance.  “You know I have a case of Hefeweizen that was just sent over from Germany, sitting at my house waiting to be tasted.”

“Hefeywhat?”

“It’s a yummy little import that once you have you’ll no longer desire domestic again.”

“Dos Equis is Mexican so it’s imported”

“Dana, let’s go, neither of us has to be alone tonight.”

Dana got up and headed for the door with Helena.  Lara watched from the kitchen door as they exited. 

PRESENT TIME AT THE PLANET

Alice and Dana broke from their kiss at the sound of Dana’s phone ringing.  Dana reached for her phone and put it in her pocket, but not before Alice noticed Lara’s name. 

“You don’t want to get it,” Alice asked.  She wore an unsettled look.

“No one is more important then you right now,” Dana said and kissed Alice again. 

“Well if it isn’t the love birds,” Helena Peabody walked over to Dana and Alice.

“Hi,” Alice said as she squeezed Dana’s hand.

“Hey, what’s up?” Dana said barely looking up.

“My birthday party.  And I’m going to have it here, and you two are invited.  It’s going to be a super big bash, the biggest event this season.  Well, Kit is waiting, so I’ll let you be.”  Helena headed off but turned around, “andI’m going to meet withLara, and we’re going plan the menu.  Bye, bye.”  Helena headed over towards Kit who was in baby mode with Bette and Tina.

“She has way too much energy this early in the morning,” Alice observed.

“Al, let’s get out of here, go to your place for a little make up *****,” Dana suggested.

“Clark is there, we can go to your place.”  Dana nodded and Alice began to gather her belongs.

Helena approached Kit, Bette and Tina.  “Well, what an angel she is?” Helena leaned in to coo at Angelica.

“Thanks”, Tina said and then placed Angelica back into her stroller.

“Let’s sit down,” Kit said and lead Helena away.
