The Planet.

It is morning and more people are arriving.  Lara is hard at work in the kitchen and Marina is helping with the busy workload as Francesca, Alice, and Shane sit together at a table.

Francesca “Wow, look at her go.”

Alice “Yeah, it’s been a little busier in here as of late.”

Shane “Marina’s always helping out.”

Francesca “Always?  Does she ever have time to manage?”

Alice “I think this is her managing.”

Francesca “I admit, it is nice to see this place a littel busier now, especially when lunchtime arrives.”

Alice “Lara’s really workin’ out for you guys, huh?”

Francesca “It appears so.  When she served us dinner that night, I knew we had to hire her.  We might just be able to turn this little place around now.”

Dana walks in with her new, made over look.  Alice, Shane, and Francesca are all impressed.  Their discussion soon to the possibility of Alice being pregnant along with the idea of letting Bette and Tina adopt it.  Marina finally joins them as her employees are able to take better care of what needs to be done.

Francesca “Do you know what an extraordinary gift that would be?”

Alice “They’re making super sure I know that.”

Francesca “Not just to Bette and Tina, but to all of us.  The whole D.N.A. model of family is being reinvented.  We’re making a new world that reflects the way we love and make relationships and raise children to become better people.  This could be a truly amazing moment.  Assuming, of course…”

Alice “Yeah.”

Marina “Please put the coffee down, Alice.”

Marina smirks as Alice finally sets the coffee down.

Marina “I could always make you another spirulina shake.”

Dana breaks into laughter as Alice rolls her eyes.

Francesca “Marina?  Honey, there’s a line at the counter.”

Marina looks at the counter, then back to everyone at the table.

Marina “Back to work.”

Marina stands, kissing Francesca on the lips and going to the counter to help.

Another day passes and it is on into the evening.

The Palms, West Hollywood.

The women’s bar has a very old fashioned vibe to it which Alice, Dana, and Lara are quick to notice.  Dana has noted it as being, “the oldest lesbian bar in L.A.”
