Alice “Heh.  Yeah.  Well, Dana let’s hear your story.”

Dana “Oh that’s nice, you know I can’t do that.”

Lara “I think you’re among friends, Dana.”

Alice “It was twelve years ago.”

Dana “Al.”

Alice “Okay, never mind.”

Lara places her left arm around Dana’s shoulders and Dana leans in.

Dana “God she was beautiful…  It was at tennis camp.”

Dana proceeds to tell her coming out story.

Dana “After that, I ran into her at a few matches and…she wouldn’t even look at me.”

Dana shrugs.  Lara places both arms around Dana, kissing her hair covered head.  Dana smiles.

With 36 miles until they reach Palm Springs, Lenore shares her own coming out story.  Shane looks at Tina with Tina slightly shaking her head.  Shane’s eyes motion back toward Lenore, then back to Tina, offering a shrug.  Tina rolls her eyes as Lenore continues with her story.  Shane finds it all amusing before going over her own coming out story, which traces back to childhood.  As Shane wraps her story, the group arrives at Lenore’s.  Alice mentions Lenore’s phone ringing, implying it could be her new agent.  Lenore rushes off to her home to answer.

Alice “You know what, Dana?  Lara?  Help me.”

Alice, Dana, and Lara quickly assemble Lenore’s bags, and rush them to the gate of the complex, then rush back into the van.  Alice repeats, “Go!” to Tina and Tina obliges.  Dana and Lara are back to their backseats with Alice back in her seat and Shane amused up front.

Palm Springs.

The group arrives at the Palm Springs Hotel.  Alice has a disposable camera while Dana, Lara, Shane, and Tina simply look around at the majesty and vendors.  Dana’s guest liason arrives in the lobby to greet them.  Her name is Tonya.

Tonya “So, are you alone?”

Dana “Uh, no, I’m with friends…oh, and my girlfriend.”

Lara grins, waving.  Tonya continues on with Dana’s schedule, along with handing her the hotel room key and her phone number.

Tonya “Bye, Ladies!”

Dana “Bye!”

Tina “Bye-bye.  Wow.”

Alice “That thing come with batteries, Dana?”

Alice snaps a quick photo of Tonya walking away.  Lara extends her right hand to Dana’s left hand and smirks.

Lara “Don’t let all this fame go to your head now.”
