Ahem, hello, yeah. I hate to interrupt your little love fest but hello (waving her arms around) he didnt come alone.

Of course, he didnt. She turns to Eric. Whod you bring? she asked playfully.

Well Shane and Dana were working and Alice here was already camped out on the doorstep so, ya know.

Very funny, you *****. Bette and Eric put their hands on the chest in mock horror. Alice continued. I will not be the butt of Porter jokes, alright. Alright then, lets go get your bags, mama.

Oh the ride home, Bette caught Alice and her twin brother Eric up on things back east, her new job, and her excitement of living with Alice and Eric in West Hollywood.

Well Bette, youre gonna get lots of play out here. Fresh meat and a girl that doesnt want any complications. A heartbreaker. Alice said the last part for herself, but it did not go unnoticed by Bette. Bette studies her best friends sullen face in the rearview mirror and tenses up.

Eric, who also caught Alices comment and Bettes reaction, fixed his gaze on Alice from the mirror. Hey Alice if you missed Bette so much, then why didnt you just try me?

Alice snapped out of her thoughts and immediately perked up. Ok rule number two: I will not be passed around you two. Im not a Porter party favor.

Whatever you say, love. Bette responds flashing her contagious 1000-watt smile Alices way.

Dont smile at me. Im still mad at you.

For what? Bette asks seriously.

Hello who got the bigger room? How you won Rock, Paper, Scissors over the phone Ill never know.

I guess the Goddess was on my side.

Bullshit, somehow you cheated.

Bette breathed a sigh of relief. She was concerned that living with Alice would bring all sorts of complications. She felt lucky that she had her brother run interference during Alices last slip up. But she knew that he would not always be there. She was certain that she had no desire to rekindle their contentious relationship.

So Alice, Bette began What are we doing tonight?

Well, first were going to drop off your stuff. But youre young, *****, and in WeHo. Its Friday, so Ill take you to the Planet. Plus I know youre very, very, she stops and nudges Eric in the front seat. Boy-Porter turn away, grownups are talking.

Make me.

Fine. Girl-Porter, mirror. As soon as her eyes caught Bettes she mouthed horny

Alice!!! Bettes face drained of all its color in fear that Eric had witnessed Alices display.

God, I really hope she said hungry. Eric thought as he fixed his eyes on the road ahead.

Yes, Al youre right. I am very hungry. Bette responded a little too loudly.

Riiight. Alice winked. Well, lets drop your ***** off, get you showered and fed.

Oh yeah and we can take you to Mels on Sunset. Burgers, huge fries, and thick, thick shakes. Very California, youll love it. Eric chimed in.

Great, so lets go. So tell me more about The Planet.
