“Oh its hilarious babe, I think Angie is going start giving you ‘time outs’ soon” Tina’s laughter came thought the receiver.

“I’ll have you know that this is the first time I’ve cursed in front of Angie and that I should be given some kind of lenience” Bette tried to reason while she glanced every once in a while at rear view.

“Time out momma” Angie playfully reprimanded her momma.

“You heard the princess babe” Tina laughed.

“Come on it was a first time offense baby, I promise I won’t ever do it again” Bette smiled at her daughter.

“Bad momma” Angie wouldn’t let up.

“Aw babe, as your queen I’m sure I can get you out of it” Tina laughed.

“This isn’t fair you know, being bullied by the two of you.”  Bette pretended not to enjoy being poked at.

“Listen I’m going to finish up and then head out, I’ll see you ladies at home” Tina said.

“Okay we’ll see you later, love you” Bette said before disconnecting.

It was a beautiful morning when the gang gathered at The Planet for their ritual breakfast.  Dana and Alice sat together while Bette, Tina and Angie sat on one side of the table.  Shane played with Angie while Helena sat adjacent to them reading the newspaper.  Helena’s newspaper was split up amongst the group; Tina got the front page, sports went to Dana, arts went to Bette, entertainment to Alice, Helena took the business while Shane and Angie enjoyed the comic section.  Jenny sat with her laptop, for the first time since the beginning of production for the movie, without Adele.

“Is there room for one more?” Carmen said as she approached the table.

“Hey” everyone greeted “grab a seat anywhere.”  Bette told her.

“Did you guys get the email invite to Jasmine’s party?”  Alice asked Bette and Tina.

“Yes we did” Bette looked at Tina then at Alice “you got invited too?”

“I think everyone did” Dana said while buttering her toast.

“I’m taking the children since they’ll be with me for the week.”  Helena told them.

“Are you guys talking about Paula and Sandra’s party?” Carmen asked.
