Bette opened the door to a smiling Tina and a teasing looking Alice.
Bette took Tinas bags, put them on the floor and taking her in her arms kissed her hard. Tina returned Bettes kiss and when they finally broke apart a very blushed Tina looked at Bette cocking an eyebrow.

What? Cant I give my wife a hello kiss?

Bette said in between giggles, helping a very happy Tina with the bags. Alice followed them to the kitchen. Shane was jut getting over the key story, thinking about and envying Bettes luck.

So, you feeling relaxed Bette?
Alice teasing voice made Bette to look at Tina, smirking, while Tina swatted Alices arm.

Hey, am only saying

Tina was putting the groceries in the fridge with Bettes help and while they were both with their heads in between its doors she leaned and giving Bette a quick kiss in the cheek whispered,

We will continue later baby

Bette, with a happy teenager look on her face moved from the fridge and trying to look as nonchalantly as possible started pouring water in the dinner table glasses.

Al, you staying for dinner?

Shane was trying to understand what was going on but was not being very successful as her mind was still on Tinas key.

Sure, the only thing waiting for me at home is an empty fridge and an even emptier bed gosh Im pathetic!

Shane brushed her hand on Alices arm, smiling.

When does the open starts?

Next Monday, speaking of that… Alice walked to be in front of Shane.

Shane, take a seat
Alice was offering Shane a chair while nodding to Bette and Tina to move closer to them.

“Ladies?”


You go Charlie”, tell her Tina said, smiling, happy to see the confuse look on Shanes face.

Charlie? Bette and Shane asked in unison.

Will tell you later hun Tina said, leaning into Bette.

Shane, dear Shane or should I say sister Shane you know we are worried about you…”

Alice was looking at Bette and Tina, waiting for their agreement nods.


We are Shane, we are
Tina and Bette were not very convincing, as it was almost impossible not to notice the smiles growing on their faces.

Anyway (Alice was rolling her eyes, hopeless at her friends) Shane, youve become quite a nun, no more one night stands, no more ***** all time, , no more groupies around no more wild nights, no more hangover mornings we are worried Shane! And is because we love you

Alice looked at Bette and Tina, who were again, smiling broadly, but turning into serious look the moment they realized Alice was looking at them, waiting.

We do Shane, we do They said in unison.

…We love you Shane and because we do we have to celebrate that you are getting older (Shanes look made Alice clarify)is your birthday, remember? Next week? … well…

We are going to New York!!
Tina screamed, jumping up and down, kissing Shane on the cheek, hugging her.

Hey Charlie( Alice was pointing to herself), remember?

Sorry Al, but you are so slow
Tina said, giggling, waiting for Alice to go on while Bette was looking at them, smiling.

Shane? Tina was looking at Shane, worried.

Ugh? ..yeah, coolguys WHAT? Whos Charlie? What you mean going to New York?

Bette moved closer to the table and taking a chair, sat down, looking at Shane.

Shane, we know is your bday next week and we want to celebrate it, then, Charlie here (pointed to Alice, arching an eyebrow) had the great idea that since I have to go to NY to talk with Peggy about Junes collection, Dana starts the US Open in a week, horny chicken here (pointing to Alice again, look who talks mumbled Alice) cant wait to see Dane and of course, Tee is coming too…, so all we need now is for you to say that youre coming and that you accept our present

Shane was looking at Bette and as she finished talking, moved to look at a smiling Tina and at a serious Alice.

Guys..

No Guys.. Shaneno way! You are coming ok well am sure you will (chuckling, enjoying her silly joke) after all is a new city full of hot chicks waiting for you to make them to.. Tina swatted Alice again, trying not to laugh.

Ok, its a deal Bette stood up, not waiting for Shanes answer.

Then the Charlies angel theme startled Bette and Shane, making Tina and Alice giggle.

I got it! Alice screamed, running towards the cell, in her purse.

Hence, Charlie Tina said, pointing to Alice.

She had the love boat on, just a couple of hours ago Bette said moving to help Tina with dinner.

I know, but she said she had to change it, having a different meaning now Tina said, winking at Bette.

So, am I supposed to be any of those hot chicks ? Asked a still very moved Shane, trying to light her mood.

Suit yourself, well.. Im Sabrina but you

Sabrina? (Bettes asked, smiling at Tina) Tee, am sorry to say it but you are blonde, Sabrina wasnt,… right?

She was the smart angel any objection?…my dear Kelly?
Tinas playful eyes and teasing tone made Bette arched an eyebrow.

Kelly? Bette was trying to act with the charade but her lack of television history knowledge was making it difficult.

God Bette!… the hot brunette with curly hair (looked at Bette for a few seconds) suits you…good eye Tee!!.
Shane was high fiving Tina, smiling.

I cant be Jill! Shane was looking at Tina, with true concern in her eyes.

Jill? Bette was totally lost.

Farrah Fawcett Mouthed Tina, making Bette ohhhh.

No you cant, Dane is Jill, she says hi, btw Alice was back smiling as a kid on Xmas morning.

Im not going to be Bosley guys Shane was shaking her head, looking at them.

Bosley? Bette was whispering to Tina.

God Bette, what did you do in the seventies? Shane asked to a laughing Tina and a speechless Bette. Alice was lost, thinking about Dana.

Cant we do ***** in the city? Asked a hopeful Bette, trying to fit in the charade.

Oh… you will my dear Samantha With that, a chuckling Tina finally took Bette into a full, hot, wet long kiss.

“***** AND the city” Bette… God! Youve so much to learn” added Alice, back in reality… setting another plate at the table.
