“That’s Kat/Kit” Alice reminded

“Will you be serious?”

“What did I say Bev/Bette?” Bette only glared in response “I have an announcement to make”

“You’re moving far, far, far, far away?” Bette took a shot at guessing

“No”

“You’re taking a vow of silence?” Tina hoped

“No”

“You’re getting your vagina rejuvenated?” Dana said causing a bout of laughs at the table.

“FF…..” but stopped herself as she almost forgot about her earth daughter “F you Dana!”

“What is it Alice?” Helena came to her rescue

“Thank you Hels” she glared at everyone else at the table but smiled at Angie “Hi gorgeous” then quickly added maintaining her smile “I formed a roller derby team.”

“What?” Shane looked up from reading her newspaper

“You see, there were these chicks at this bar near the radio station.  It looked like a quiet place from the outside but then these bull dykes walked and one of them was hitting on me and everything, but then I told them I was trying to read Jenny’s book….”

“Alice you’re rambling” Jenny interjected without looking up from her laptop

“Oh yeah, anyway, we started talking because I got pissed at the book” she stopped to glare at Jenny who kept her nose in her laptop “and I got to know them and thought they were really cool.  Two of them are mechanics and the other is a limo driver”

“Rambling”

“Thank you Jesse/Jenny” Alice rolled her eyes “they started talking about how their team plays for charity and stuff and I told them I wanted to get in on it but they started laughing at me and said that my lipstick-ace couldn’t hang with them, and we started talking crap to each other, then I told them we could take them on anytime, anywhere and so they named the time and place.” Alice took a deep breath and looked at the glaring faces around the table.

“No!” everyone said in unison

“Come on you guys!” she pleaded “Please!”

“Alice, it was your mouth and competitive streak that got you in trouble” Bette told her

“Like you’re not competitive” the kettle glared at the pot
