“Honey” Tina laughed then added “you’ve already signed the contract” she reminded

“Signed, sealed, delivered” Helena backed Tina up.  They watched Jenny leave then Shane got up

“Jenny!” Shane ran after her friend

“We didn’t mean to upset her” Paula apologized looking at her own Alice and Jenny

“Jenny will be fine” Kit told them

“Yeah” Tina assured their new friends “she stomps over other peoples feelings all the time”

“She just got a taste of her own medicine” Bette added “which was phenomenal”

“You mean she’s like that with you guys?” Tracy asked in shock

“Worse” Bette told them “I don’t know how or why we’ve put up with her for so long”

“Cause she’s got problems and we’re her friends” Kit reminded

“Yeah, friends.  Right” Alice pretended to agree

“To think I almost slept with her” Dana recalled their date after her make over

“I know” Alice nodded lost in thought “you dodged a torpedo with that one”

“I’d still fuck her” Nancy admitted

“You’d fuck anything that moves” Paula and everyone else laughed

“If she moves, then I’m good” Nancy shrugged.

Bette listened for movement outside of their bedroom door.  The sound of Angie’s bedroom door being closed was her cue.  She ran back and jumped on the bed as she only had seconds before Tina walked through the door.  While on her back with her head propped on pillows, she closed her eyes pretending to be in pain just as Tina walked through the door.  Being the gullible one, Tina immediately took notice and was by her side.

“Babe” Tina sat on the bed feeling Bette’s face for temperature “you okay?”

“I think I threw my back out again” Bette, the clever actress, winced in false pain

“Oh baby!” Tina’s genuine concern almost made Bette laugh out loud giving the whole gig up, but she maintained her composure and concentrated on the pain she was supposed to be feeling instead “How bad does it hurt?”

“It’s not that bad, just a slight discomfort” Bette added to the theatrics by attempting to roll over “Sssh-ahh not good” she went back to her original position
