Bette: Whats wrong?

Shane: Nothing…Im just tired.

Bette: Bullshit….its Alice.

Shane: Ill make you a deal….we just focus and get through this weekend and Ill tell you everything later okay?

Bette: Deal.

Shane: Alright now go home and go to bed…you have to go win your woman back tomorrow.

Bette got up to leave. She walked towards the front door and then stopped. She turned around and came back. She knelt down in front of Dash and Shane who sat on the couch like two sad little puppies.

Bette: Thank you….both of you…Shane…I just want you to know that….

Bette became teary eyed as she collected her thoughts.

Bette: I really appreciate everything youve done for me…for being there for me, even after I fucked up….I know you took it the worse cause it was like your parents were splitting up….I just….

Shane: I know Bette….and I think I owe you a lot more that you owe me.

Shane looked at Bette with a guilty look on her face. Bette leaned in and kissed her on the lips (innocently!).

Bette: I love you too kid.

Shane smiled and wiped the tear that fell from Bettes eye. Bette turned to Dash who looked a little uncomfortable.

Bette: And you…..youre amazing…and Im so happy youve been around to keep us all in check….I think youll fit in well with our little family….if you can learn to put up with us…theres always a lot of…

Dash: ***** Drama?

Bette laughed and messed up her hair.

Bette: I was gonna say we get pretty surreal but okay Ill go for ***** Drama.

Bette leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.

Bette: Ill see you guys in the morning….

Dash: Will I be getting a wake-up call?

Bette: I guess its the least I could do.

Bette gave the girl a wink and walked out. When she got to the door, Dash yelled over her shoulder.

Dash: Oh and Bette, Thanks for not making me wear the dress…that tux you bought me kicks *****!

Bette: What?…Shane called me and told me you wanted to wear a dress so James went and got one.

Dash turned to Shane who was hanging over the end of the couch making a slashing motion across her neck at Bette. She slowly turned to see the angry look in Dashs eyes. Shane shrugged and moved away from her on the couch.

Shane: You …uhm…smoke too much.

Dash: Youre one to talk….

Shane: Im an adult…whos addicted…..you should learn from my mistakes.

Dash: If I learned from your mistakes Id be the most well educated teen on the planet.

Shane punched her in the arm and they went back to work on the roses.

Shane: Okay now…about these Backstreet Boys…are they thugs….like from the streets?

Dash: Its gonna be a long night…Im gonna go get a beer.

Shane: Uhm….get me one too?
