Tina: “So, you’re going to stay for a week. Wow Bette a whole week and then what you’re going to disappear for another three years I am sorry Bette but I can’t handle that. My life is just starting to get to be normal; I have someone who loves me and my daughter

Bette: “Hold on there. You never gave me the chance to get to know Beth and yes I am glad that you are happy now but I would like the chance to get to know Beth and for her to get to know me.”

Tina: “I want you to get to know Beth, I really do Bette, but I am so afraid that you are going to hurt her that I just do not know if I can give you the chance you want. I am sorry I guess there are a lot of things that I have not gotten past yet.”

Bette: “Well please just give me a chance and I promise you that I will not ever hurt Beth

Tina: “Promise, that is a funny word coming from you.” She says slightly under her breath but just enough for Bette to hear.

            Bette just stares at the ground not knowing what to say or even if she should say anything at all. Of course her promise would mean nothing to Tina; after all she broke the most sacred promise she could have when she destroyed Tina‘s life with her affair all those years ago. Bette knows that she is going to have to prove to Tina and everyone else that she will not hurt Beth. From the sound of Tina, Bette is not to sure that Tina really wants her around.

Bette: “I am here Tina, and I am going to try my hardest to prove to you that I want to be in and deserve to be in Beth‘s life.”

Tina: “I hope that you are telling the truth because I will not let you hurt Beth.”

Bette: “When did you want to get together to try and work some things out. Maybe we can talk about the futureand maybethe past.” She says the last part while looking at something fascinating on the ground.

Tina: “Tomorrow at 2pm at The Planet the gang should be gone by then so we should have privacy but we will still be in a public place, so that should keep voices in check.”

Bette: “Ok, thank you Tina for meeting me tomorrow. I look forward to it.”

Tina: “Bye Bette.”

Bette: “Bye Tum I mean Tina, sorry.”

            As Bette is leaving all Tina is thinking is that she does not know what the ***** is going on and that Bette is still so damn fine. This morning she was warding off Jaime and her questions and this afternoon she is warding off Bette and her openness. Tina walks into the house and goes straight for the phone, she wants to know why Jaime did not tell her she saw Bette this morning and also if Bette was the reason for Jaime asking her to move in and marry her. Before she gets to the phone she is stopped by Alice holding Beth and asking questions.

Alice: “Hey, is everything ok? I didn’t try but I kind of heard most of the conversation out there and you didn’t seem all too happy.”

Tina: “I just don’t understand why she showed up out of the blue after all these years.”

Alice: “Maybe its time. Maybe she finally figured out that she cannot live without her friends and family in good ole WEHO.”

Tina: “Maybe, I don’t know I am just so confused. I really have to talk to Jaime and then figure out what I want to talk to Bette about tomorrow. She is so beautiful Al, is it horrible that while I was extremely pissed off at her and wanted to rip her head off but I also just wanted to rip her clothes off and take advantage of her.” She says the last part a little shyly.

Alice: “Well Bette has always been hot so I guess it would be normal for you to have sexual feelings toward her considering your past together.”

            As Alice finishes her last sentence  both Alice and Tina here the door shut and a car speeding away.
