7 o’clock came around and Alice came out of her bedroom……”Why aren’t you dressed?” she asked Tina.
“I really don’t want to go…”
“Ok…goddamit, get up…you are going….”
“I don’t have any clothes, Alice…”
“We wear the same size…go in my room and pick out something…”
“*****.” said Tina as she got up, “why do I always do what everyone wants me to do?”
She went into the bedroom and slipped on some jeans and a tank top….then walked out into the living room….
“Is this okay, Hillary?”
“That looks great, Bill…….” laughed Alice…
“Let’s get going……”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Bette was already at ‘The Planet’ talking to Shane and Dana…..surprisingly, everyone was talking to her…she thought that they would all hate her by now….
As she took a sip of her drink, she looked up at the door, and In walked the most beautiful woman that she had ever seen…..blue jeans and tank top….’My god….I ……………..’ she was absolutely speachless…..
Tina didn’t see her at first………but then she turned to look at Alice….”You didn’t tell me that she would be here, Al….”
“*****….I forgot to tell you…I’m sorry…” said Alice as she looked over to Bette….”Well, you are here now, so let’s make the best of it…….” and she pulled Tina towards their usual table…
“Tina…” said Bette….
“Hey….”
“Can we talk…..please….’ asked Bette..
“Bette, I have made my decision, so don’t make this harder than it already is…..”
Bette sighed and looked down….
“I didn’t even want to come here…but Al would never let me live it down if I didn’t show myself tonight…”
“Yea, I got persuaded to come too….” said Bette.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: started Marina…..
“Tonight, we are giving away an all expense paid vacation for 2 to Hawaii…in the best hotel with the best suite..and ALOT of extras…..There are several rules to this though that I must mention….First, The two people who are chosen as winners, have to go together….it one opts not to go…then the rule is that they have to pay for the entire vacation for someone else…..second, They must stay in the hotel room together and sleep in the same bed…..third, they have to use all of the extras that were purchased for this…..and lastly, they must seek to find love within themselves and with the other person involved…..Does everyone understand the rules?” asked Marina………
Everyone cheered to let her know that they understood……..
“Good, with that order of business out of the way, I will now open the envelopes with the winner’s inside….These winners were chosen by all of those whom filled out questionare’s as to who they would like to see go on this wonderful vacation….. “
She opened envelope number 1: The first winner, oh my god, is Bette Porter…”
Everyone clapped as Bette stood there in awe……’*****…who is the other person? I am so trying to work things out with Tina….and now I have to go on a vacation….sleeping in the same bed….as someone else whom is not Tina…’
“And the second winner is:
Tina thought to herself, it would be ***** ironic if they chose Candace’s name even though she isn’t here anymore…….
Everyone got quiet……”Tina Kennard.”
Everyone clapped loudly as Bette let out a sigh….’oh my god…..This is my ***** chance….and Tina doesn’t have the money to pay for this herself…..so I am home free…’
“Well, Tina Kennard…you are stuck with me…” said Bette as everyone came up to congradulate them on their win…..
“Bette, this is great…” said Alice…
“Alice, I’ll just have to pay for the trip because I am not going……” said Tina as she turned and ran out……
Alice started to run after her….”No.” said Bette….”I’ll go.”
Bette ran to the door and looked out…Tina was standing outside crying…
“Tina, please…all I want is a chance….if I don’t or can’t prove to you that I love you, then I will let you go……….deal? please, Tina…I love you soo much…all I want to do is prove it….”
Tina sobbed and looked down at the ground…”I love you too, Bette…I always have and always have….no matter what you do….”
“T, she’s gone…I didn’t love her…it was just *****….”
“Wew, well that makes me feel better…” said Tina sarcastically.
“I’m sorry but it is the truth….”
“Why don’t you go home with me and we will pack some things up, and start on this journey together to find ourselves again…to find where everything went wrong….to find how to put it back together again…to make things like they were….”asked Bette.
“Bette, things will never be like they were….” said Tina….
“Come on…” said Bette as she walked to her car….Tina was behind her……They got in and left going back home……..Once there, they packed some things and jumped in the car to go back to ‘The Planet.’ to get their tickets….

They drove to the airport, not a word spoken….and hopped on the plane to Florida…They had to catch another plane from there to Hawaii….

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Hours later, they arrived in Hawaii and scoped out the hotel…then the suite….
“Oh my god…Tina look at this”…………..said Bette as she noticed a few toys on the bed…..
“Jesus, what kind of vacation is this supposed to be?” asked Tina….
“Hopefully, a fun filled one…” smiled Bette.
“I am sorry….I’m not looking much forward to that….***** i mean….”
“T, why don’t we go on down and find something to eat….then we can get some rest..for tommorrow….”
“What’s tommorrow?” asked Tina as she started to put her things away.
“The Beach…..”
They went down and got something to eat………then went back to the room……they got into bed….on total opposite sides…..
“T?”
“Yea?”
“Goodnight…”
“goodnight….’
“T?”
“What Bette?” answered Tina angrily….
“I love you….”
“Love you too..”
