“I wonder if we’ll get an invitation,” Bette said as they headed towards their table.

Alice waved to Tina as she and Dana left the planet.

“Looks like they made up,” Bette said with a smile.

“For now.”

“They look happy,” Bette said.

“Well, because they miss each other, and Alice’s brother will be a distraction for a while but they’re at the same place they were yesterday, nothing’s changed.”

“Why don’t you give them Dan Foxworthy’s number, he’s paid” so he has to listen to other people’s problems.”

“You can be cold sometimes,” Tina said.

Bette rolls her eyes and is about to respond when Tina continued.

“Okay, let’s not get into a thing about them, it’s their business.”

Bette took a sip of coffee with a look of relief.

“Dana just told Alice she took a cab home last night, why would she say that?” Tina asked.

“Maybe its just pride.  She probably didn’t want Alice to know how wrecked she was?” Bette reasoned.

LAST NIGHT AT THE PLANET- EVEN LATER

Dana and Helena headed out the door.  Helena draped her arm around Dana and was about to kiss her, when Bette appeared in front of them.

“Bette,” Dana squealed. 

“Hey, DanaHelena.  What’s going on?”  Bette asked.

“Nothing, InoI had a couple, don’t thinking I shouldand she was here at the Planetoffered me a ride home.  Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.” Dana laughed and punched Helena in the arm. 

Helena reacted as if the punch was a little harder than Dana realized.

“You’re my way, I can drop you,” Bette offered.

“Nah, you came to see Kit,” Dana said.  I don’t want to be a bourbon.  Well maybe a little bourbon,” Dana laughed then stopped abruptly because no one else was laughing.

“Dana, I’ll just be a minute.  Kit packed up a snack for me and T.  Angelica’s keeping us up tonight,” Bette said.

“Don’t worry Bette, take care of your babies, I got this one,” Helena winked.

“But you’re all the way in Malibu, you can shoot down to the 10 and be home so much faster,” Bette said.

“Well, Dana, what do you want to do?” Helena asked.

“Bette, thanks I’m okay,” Dana said.

“Are you sure that’s what you want,” Bette asked as she brushed the hair out of Dana’s face and looked for her eyes.

“Yeah, Yeah,” Dana said looking on the ground with her hands in her pockets.

Bette turned and left them as she headed into the Planet.  Kit presented her with a bag of stuff.

“So how are my girls,” Kit asked?

“Hungry and tired.  How are you?”
