“She wanted to know if you had a bed, because she picked that out too.” 

            “I have that, thanks.”  Tina stated, watching as the furniture was placed in her new living room.  It was exactly the style that Tina herself would have chosen.  The irony wasn’t lost on her.  She dialed her cell phone and left a nice thank you message on Bette‘s home answering machine. 

            Tina hung up with a long sigh, looking around the room seeing the chaos, her mind feeling just as chaotic as the room.

            Marina sat at the usual table at the Planet, she usually didn’t have time to sit and join in on the chatting with her friends.  Now Kit was insisting that she did, giving her a much needed rest.  She finally felt relaxed, and that felt good.

            Jenny walked into the Planet and saw Marina at the table she hesitated, but then decided to sit down anyway.  Marina smiled.

            “How is your writing?”  Jenny sighed, unsure if she should even pursue a friendship with the woman that sent her life into an upheaval.  She relented, having promised herself that she was going to try and accept the cards she’d been dealt.

            “Ok, I’ve sent out a few short stories, I got feed back on one.”  Jenny found herself easily falling back into talking with Marina.

            “Where is Shane?”  Dana looked livid, hands on her hips her hair tussled in a *****, just out of bed manner that no one had really seen on Dana before.

            “Right behind you roomie.”  Shane said, throwing a friendly arm over Dana‘s shoulder. 

            “Ok, you need to go home and clean.  I just can’t deal with the clutter…  There is laundry piling up and the dishwasher is over loaded!”  Shane stepped back, putting her hands up in the air.

            “I’ll be out by sunset.”  Tears brimmed in Shane‘s eyes, and Dana sighed, she hadn’t wanted to come off so harsh.  Tina was walking into the Planet just as Shane was barging out, she ran after her.  Tina grabbed Shane‘s arm that was still in a cast.
