Wow, you look amazing Tina said as Alice entered the room looking a million dollars.
Thanks T
Whats the occasion? Tina asked from the couch.
Well I told Dana about Tonja the other morning, and she thought she would apologize for it by taking me out for dinner
Oww, how romantic Tina said rolling her eyes at Alices dumb smile.
Shut up Blondie!! Alice said smiling at Tina.
Tina simply glared at Alice who immediately started laughing.
So wheres Dana taking you? Tina asked
I dont know but she told me that I couldnt wear denim so
Wow, that must be a real thing for you? Tina said knowing her pain.
Yeah I kind of feel naked when I dont wear denim
Well you dont look naked, you look great Tina said reassuringly.
Thanks T
But something tells me that you will be naked
Well we can only live in hope
Yeah, alright Picasso, thats enough of the images for one night
There was a knock at the door, Alices head whipped around to look at Tina; she looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
Can you get it? Alice pleaded.
Why? You know who it is?
Yeah, but, oh pleassssse? Alice was beginning to beg.
Fine Tina said with a huff.
Ok, tell her that I am getting my bag or something
Tina walked towards the door as Alice made for her room. Tina opened the door and saw Dana who also looked like a deer caught in the head lights, Tina started laughing to her self and then just said; Hey Dana, come in Dana walked into the hall way and then nervously followed Tina into the living room.
Oh Alice will be with you in a moment, shes in her room pretending to get her bag or something Tina said sitting on the couch. Alice appeared in the room and looked at Dana nervously.
Hey Al you look great Dana said to Alice nervously.
Thanks you too Alice blurted back.
Tina sat on the couch silently observing the exchange but then as the nervousness of the two of them became two much, she could no longer hold in her laughter at the situation in front of her.
What are you laughing at? Alice demanded.
Oh just the two of you Tina said through her laughter.
Why?
You just remind me of what Bette and I were like when we first started dating
Alice rolled her eyes and looked at Dana
Hey, youre the straight one She said jabbing Dana in the side.
No, that means you get to be the player, thats not fair, you cant have a bisexual player
Yes you can Alice said leading Dana down the hall by the hand.
Night kids, have fun Tina yelled down the hall.
Thanks mum The two yelled in unison.

Tina sat on the couch and looked at what was on the TV for a little while as she tried to figure out what to do. She wanted to see Bette but figured that she should call rather than simply showing up on her doorstep like last time. As she got up from the couch and began the search for the cordless Kits words came back to her; I think it has a lot to do with trust Well I guess I should go with that she thought to her self.

After finding the phone she dialed the number and waited for Bette to pick up, but she didnt. Tina looked puzzled and slightly nervous, then she tried the CAC number, after seven rings Bette answered the phone.
Bette Porter
Why are you still there? Tina asked immediately.
T, hey
Hey Bette, why are you still at work Tina repeated Tina softer tone.
Because I dont like being in our house with out you came Bettes honest reply.
Good answer
Thank you, I wasnt lying though
Ok, well in that case I have a deal for you Tina said impliedly.
Sounds interesting go one
I will meet you at home, our home, in fifteen minutes, if you leave work now?
So in other words, you will meet me at home in fifteen minutes and all I have to do is leave now? Bette asked clarifying.
Thats it
Well then I will see you in fifteen minutes
I guess you will

Alice and Dana walked into the restaurant hand in hand, as the waiter showed them to their table they made goofy looks at each other.
Can I take you drink orders ladies?
Um, Al?
Ill just have water please Alice said sitting down.
Yeah a bottle of water thanks Dan said to the waiter.
Ok, and I will be back later for your meal orders The waiter said before walking away.
Dana nodded at the waiter and then fixed her gaze to the beautiful blonde in front of her.
What? Alice asked nervously.
Oh nothing
No, what?
Oh I was just wondering how you actually got Tonja to leave, you said she was pretty pissed Dana said lying.
Well, you see she woke Tina up, so she came out and started yelling some kind of legal bullshit at her and then slammed the door in her face
Ahh, sorry I know it foe par to talk about your ex on a date
Yeah but I will get over it Alice said throu8gh a smile.
Your drinks ladies The waiter said as he placed the bottle of water and two glasses on the table.
Thank you Dana said.
Hey, just a random question, why did you only order water? Dana asked.
Because I dont want you to have to say to our kids mummy doesnt remember our first date coz she was smashed Alice said with a grin.
Oh so now were having kids Dana asked in a fake angry tone.
Yup Alice said softly as she leaned into Dana and gently kissed her on the lips.
Oh well I suppose that could work out Dana said blushing
Yeah?
Yeah I guess so, Dana said smiling at Alice. Hey I never thought Tina was like that? Dana said changing the subject.
What do you mean?
Oh that she would not like early mornings
Ah, well you see she had seen Bette the night before so she hadnt had a lot of sleep
Ah, hey how are things going between them? Dana asked.
Yeah, not as bad as they could be I think, they seem to be making some progress so Alices voice trailed off.
Well thats good I suppose
Yeah well Kit came the other day, so that shed another angle of light on the situation for her
Hmm Dana said thinking deeply about their situation.
Ok ladies, here are the menus, Ill leave them with you and will be back later The waiter said.

Bette pulled into her drive and saw that Tina had not yet arrived; she quickly got out of her car and went inside. After getting changed into a lose fitting pair of sweat pants and a tank top, she made her way to the kitchen for some wine and a glass. Tina pulled her car into the drive way and smiled top her self when she saw that Bette was already home and their were lights on inside the house. Tina walked up the step and opened the front door with her key. Bette walked out of the kitchen at the same time and smiled at the sight of her wife coming through the door just like old time.
Hey Tina said as she pulled her keys out of the door. Good to see that you made I home in one piece
Yeah, always helps Bette said as she sat on the couch. Have you eaten?
No, but I had a late lunch so I am good right now, you? Tina asked sitting on a chair on the opposite site of the room.
Nah, but Im not really hungry. So whyd you call me before, I thought you would be out with the girls tonight
Well you see Alice and Dana are out on their first date at the moment, so I was all alone in the house, and plus I wanted to see you Tina said honestly.
Oh well Im glad you called, otherwise I would still be their now Bette said taking a drink of her wine.
Yes, you would be
Hey, did you want some wine or anything?
No, I am good right now but I will get some thing in a moment
Hey?
Yeah
What are Alice and Dana like as a couple, I can only guess that they are really goofy together but in a cute kind of way? Bette asked smiling.
Yeah, its a lot like that actually, its like the gar gar stage but the bit before it, so they keep making funny eyes at each other. It was so funny tonight, Dana came to pick Alice up, Dana knocked on the door and Alice made me get it, then she came in and it was like nervous tension that you could cut with a spoon.
A bit like you and I were then?
Yeah much like that actually
Do you remember our first date?
Yeah I dont think we said anything to one another for like fifteen minutes, we were that nervous Tina and Bette both laughed as they remembered that night over seven years a ago.
So how was your day T?
Yeah not all that bad I suppose, didnt really pay attention to most of it, yours?
Bette looked at her feet as she contemplated how to tell her wife that she had seen Candace today.
T I dont know how to tell you this so I will just say it ok? Bette said nervously.
Ok Tina said bracing her self for the unknown.
I saw Candace today Bette hesitated before looking up at Tina, but when she did she saw her in a some what clam stance.
And? Tina said sighing.
She came to see why I hadnt called her lately
And? Tina said, as her eyes grew wider in a questioning manner.
I said good-bye Tina remained silent for a few moments as Bette was left hanging by a rope for her reaction. Tina softly sighed and then looked back to meet Bette hesitant gaze.
Was that all? Tina said in a light tone.
What do you mean? Bette asked.
Was that all that happened with your day? Tina said letting her voice trial off.
Well yeah, thats all the exciting bits, yeah Bette said confused.
Oh, well then I suppose your day was about as interesting as mine then Bette continued to look puzzled as to Tinas reaction. Look Bette if thats all that happened with her today then what am I supposed to do? Get pissed at you because she showed up spontaneously? If thats all that happened, then I thank you for your honesty and forwardness, the fact that she showed up is unnerving but the fact that you told me straight away over shadows that, understand?
Yeah I think so, Bette said nodding.
