Just as I was wondering what I had done to deserve someone like her, the doorbell sounded. It probably was Alice, and as I heard the familiar voice it was sure.

I opened the door and saw that Al wasn’t alone; she had brought Shane as well.

“Hi, Shane!” I said, a huge smile on my face. It had been a while since I had seen her.

“Long time no see, T,” she grinned and gave me a hug.

“It’ll be just like in the old days,” Alice beamed. She was almost jumping around. “Just the three of us. I brought some movies, you know, in case you and Bette only have sappy romantic movies or something – seriously, I wanna have a laugh tonight.”

I looked at Alice and shook my head; she hadn’t changed in all those years I’ve known her.

“Do you honestly think Bette only has sappy romantic movies? We are talking about Bette Porter here.”

“Speaking of which, where is the gal?” Shane asked. “Oh, and could you let us in? This beer is starting to weigh too much.”

“Of course, come in. Do you guys want anything?”

“Nope, we brought supplies. We thought we should, since you invited us.”

“Great.”

Alice had been right, it was like the old days. We laughed and talked about the craziest things. We watched some movies we hadn’t seen in a while and also new ones. Shane had brought one hell of a lot booze, but I didn’t drink too much. I couldn’t make that towards Bette, since I told her off.

It was after midnight already when I realised that Bette hadn’t called me like she said she would. It wasn’t like that ruined my evening, it only made me worried about her. When she said she’d do something, she always kept her promise. I tried to shake it off of me and have fun.

“Oh my god, he so has to go down there and kiss her!” Alice yelled.

“Al, you’ve seen this movie a thousand of times, you know he’s gonna kiss her,” Shane said annoyed.

“Yeah, so?”

“The ending’s not gonna chane, you know,” Shane replied.

“Ah, come on, don’t ruin it!” Alice said.

“The point is that you KNOW how it’s gonna end, so don’t… jump around at it, like some sort of crazy hyperactive bunny.”
