DISCLAIMER

This is a sequel to The Circus, and therefore a third part of The Eternal Joining. This features Laverne and Shirley again, and again they are behaving differently than normal. Kate and Allie are also involved and acting a little different from what they are portrayed by Susan Saint James and Jane Curtin. This is deliberate. The characters of Cybill are also involved but they wont become actively involved until Chapter Two. There is a massive Doctor Who Influence, and for that reason the Crossover will be with Doctor Who, but there is no Doctor, just Rose Tyler, Donna Noble and Martha Jones being the Doctor. This is a re-working of a third season Laverne and Shirley episode called 'Bus Stop'. The ending is very different and that is deliberate. There are three F/F relationships involved, but if you've read the The Eternal Joining - The Directors Cut, you could describe it as a sisterhood in line with The Daughters of Herne scenario rather than a physical sexual relationship.

1. THE TROUBLE WITH SHIRLEY FEENEY

The Diary Room - The Tardis

It had been six months since Laverne De Fazio, Shirley Feeney, Kate McCardle, Allie Lowell, Maryann Thorpe and the notorious Cybill Sheridan was forced to travel with Rose, Donna and Martha on board their TARDIS. Six months of smelly dungeons, of saving planets, of confronting Dictators and various madmen, of being chained to various walls, of being kidnapped and generally threatened with harm and menace by anybody Rose, Donna and Martha, the so called last of the Time Lords, had pissed off in the past. Six months of enduring comradeship, and to everybody's surprise, love. Yes, love blossomed on the TARDIS. Sisterly love definitely, anything further? Possibly. Being locked for long periods in cold, smelly dungeons, sometimes chained to a wall, tended to do that to relationships. You tend to find out more about each other in situations like that, especially when you fear death was near. That was why the diary was started. It had been Shirley Feeney's idea to start the diary and for everybody to make contributions to the diary about their thoughts and feelings about a particular event, or a particular relationship. Several contributions had been made over the last six months, some more vivid then others. At that moment Shirley was reading what was being written, and was finding it fascinating reading.

"Shirl?"

Shirley looked up and saw that Laverne had entered the room.

"Contributing something to the diary?"

"No," Shirley said "Just reading."

"Good reading?"

"Fascinating reading," Shirley said "I'm amazed how people can interpret events, sometimes twist events to make the writer the hero."

Laverne gave Shirley a look.

"You suggesting something?"

Shirley saw the look and chuckled.

"No, my dear," She said "I'm just as guilty as the rest of us."

"Glad you said that, Shirl," Laverne said.

Shirley looked at Laverne again. Was there a menace in her voice? Or was her best friend warning her that misinterpretation of meaning, especially with someone as potentially psychotic as Maryann Thorpe, could be seen as dangerous. Maryann's hatred of Doctor Dick was blatantly obvious. Shirley had already noticed that every Maryann entry in the diary was a vague reference to Doctor Richard Thorpe, her ex husband, now allegedly dead after being blown up on his yacht by a bomb planted by Maryann and Cybill. In fact every bad guy they faced was compared to Doctor Dick, and Dick always seemed to come off worse. Shirley half wanted to meet Doctor Richard Thorpe if only to see if he was as bad as Maryann, and to a certain extent, Cybill, was painting. If Maryann's entries boarded on being psychotic, then Cybill's was a blatant cry for female emancipation. She was a feminist, and from her writings, and her actions, she was proud of her feelings. Rose had shown Shirley an episode of Cybill's only real hit "Lifeforms", and Shirley saw Cybill's feminist leanings trying to rise through the obviously sexist dialogue. There was also something between Cybill and Maryann, something that went beyond friendship. Neither would admit it, but certain events, especially during moments of captivity they had shared, suggested that things were starting to happen. The same thing could be said about Kate and Allie, but they were better at not showing it. Kate was the feminist of the duo, but not as aggressive as Cybill. Her maiden name, as Shirley found recently, was Hanlon, an Irish name if ever Shirley heard one. Kate had a lot of the Irish about her, generous, but also frank in her views, a lot like Shirley herself. Although, Girlie Katie didn't quite ring with Kate Hanlon McCardle. She was not a girl in same way that Shirley was seen as a girl. The one thing that became clear from Kate's writings was that there was a philosopher struggling to get out. She tended to try to understand the actions of the people they faced. Kate even tried to analyse the Daleks, even after they had tried to kill her, and, for god's sake, the on going battle between the Sontarans and the Rutans, a battle which they had been recently caught up with, and only just got out alive from.

"Even I can't understand that one," Shirley said.

"Understand what, Shirl?"

"The Sontarans and the Rutans," Shirley said.

"The potato heads and the spooks," Laverne said "What's to understand? They hate each others guts, and will for time immemorial."

"There must be something they have in common," Shirley said "Something that will bring them together."

"Each others extermination," Laverne said "That is one conflict that even you can't stop."

"You can't think like that, Laverne."

"We have to, Shirl," Laverne said "Some people are beyond help. The Sontarans and the Rutans are such people."

Shirley looked at Laverne and shrugged, and then allowed herself a smile as she thought of something.

"Therefore the Daleks are Fruit Loops," Shirley commented "And equally beyond help."

"Grade One, Shirl," Laverne said "Beyond help. Fit for the loony bin, If you can ever get a strait jacket on those metal casings. Especially that Davros. Wow! Talk about Fruit Loop!"

Shirley allowed herself another chuckle. Even Maryann had to describe Davros as worse than Doctor Dick. Allie was even more scathing in her condemnation of Davros comparing him to Hitler, Genghis Khan, Napoleon and even Pol Pot. She even told Davros to his face that he was a fucking psychopath. That took everybody back, even Allie herself. She was being tortured at the time, but, even so Allie Adams Lowell didn't swear. Therefore that word, although apt for Davros, was straight out of Left Field, and totally out of Allie Lowell's character. If Shirley had a description for Allie, it was Romantic. They actually had a lot in common, shared the same romantic illusions. Although, as Martha pointed out to her, Allie was more practical. She can see beyond the illusion whereas Shirley had a little more difficulty. Shirley was actually a little hurt by that suggestion, or was until Martha took Shirley back to a time when Laverne and Shirley were left stranded by two medical students at a bus station. Thinking about it, Shirley picked up a pen and started to write an entry in the diary.

"Thought of something?"

"Something that Martha showed us, me in particular," Shirley said "I think it's time we told the diary what happened."

"Are you sure?"

"Considering what happened to Cybill and Maryann, we have to."

Laverne put an arm around Shirley and kissed the top of her head. She then watched as Shirley continued to write.

Flashback - The Bus Stop 1960

"Why did you bring me here?" Shirley had asked Martha.

They had used a special dream machine created by a friend of Rose, Donna and Martha to go back into Shirley's memories. It took a little bit of calibration to get it right, to the point where Martha was beginning to think that Shirley was trying to prevent them getting where Martha wanted to go for some reason. Shirley's memory had taken Martha to the time when she and Laverne got stuck on the ledge of a hotel whilst trying to meet the pop star Fabian, an embarrassing but eventually successful adventure, then to the time when Sergeant Plout had Laverne and Shirley do a survival test in Arctic conditions against male competition, and handling themselves well, before finally getting Shirley to get to where Martha wanted her to go. Shirley looked around the Bus Stop in surprise and more than a little disgust.

"Why here?"

"Because there is a lesson that you need to learn," Martha said "You were hurt by my suggestion that Allie was a little more practical than you were where matters of the heart was concerned."

"But why this incident?"

"You tell me."

They watched Laverne and Shirley enter the departure lounge.

"Laverne had just mended a tyre," Shirley reminisced "That was why we were a little late."

"With a little help from you," Martha suggested.

Shirley shrugged. They watched Laverne and Shirley wave to two men sitting on the bench. The two men got up and walk towards them.

"Smart look," Martha suggested "A sort of casual elegance."

"That's what fooled me," Shirley said.

"Fooled you?" Martha said "You admit that?"

"Of course I do," Shirley said "That's why I feel embarrassed by this incident."

Martha nodded.

"Which is why we were having difficulty getting here," Martha said.

Shirley looked at Martha.

"You were blocking this memory," Martha said "You were trying to guide me to times when you were successful. There is no doubt that you are a capable and practical woman, if a little scatty if that Fabian incident is anything to go by. Sorry."

Shirley allowed herself an amused grin. That was quite a dangerous stunt. They were a little way up, and it was bloody cold.

"Maybe," Shirley admitted.

Martha put an arm around Shirley and pulled her closer. They watched Laverne and Shirley talk with the guys.

"Look at the guys," Martha said "Dismiss what you know about what happened next and tell me what you see."

"Two smartly dressed Med Students."

"And?"

"Okay, I saw a White Picket Fence, two children and security. What's wrong with having a dream?"

"It got you dumped," Martha said.

Martha made Shirley look. The guys had just suggested that went back to their flat for a drink.

"I thought you said we were going to dinner," Shirley said.

"We are," The Shorter Dark Haired Man said "I thought that we would go back to our flat for one drink."

Shirley looked at Laverne at that moment. She recognised the look in her best friends face.

"She knew what they wanted," Shirley said.

Martha smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Why didn't she warn me?"

Martha's reaction was to suggest that Shirley continue watching.

"Come on, Shirl, one drinkee," Laverne protested.

"Straight down smut lane," Shirley said "That's why she didn't warn me."

"Maybe," Martha said "Or maybe she's wiser than you give her credit for."

"You suggesting I should have gone down smut lane with her?"

"No," Martha said "You actually did the right thing, for the wrong reasons, and on this occasion you got lucky."

"Meaning?"

"Why do you think?"

"Please, Martha," Shirley said "Please don't Psycho Analyse me. I've had enough of that from that Fruit Loop Davros. He was trying to discover my weaknesses using torture, what are you trying to do?"

"Help you conquer your weaknesses," Martha said.

"My dreams, a weakness?"

"It was on this occasion, and that is where you and Allie differ. Allie is more practical than you in things like this, she wouldn't have been fooled by these guys dress sense."

Again Shirley glared at Martha. What was she implying?

"You can let your dreams guide you into making mistakes, and I think you know that," Martha said "Your dreams nearly got you, Laverne and Allie killed during Davros's experiments on you three. He played on it. You've got to learn to control these dreams of yours."

"Okay, you've made your point," Shirley said "Can we leave?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because something else happened, something which your memory is blocking. It concerns Kate McCardle and Allie Lowell, and especially Laverne De Fazio."

Shirley thought for a moment.

"Nothing comes to mind."

Martha gave Shirley a look suggesting that she was not telling the truth. Shirley made a gesture confirming that she couldn't remember. Martha sighed and tried to prompt her.

"What happened next?"

They turned back to the scene which had moved on an hour. She saw herself sitting on the bench looked stunned. Laverne and Shirley had just learned that their dates had done a bunk whilst pretending to be freshening up in the Men's Bathroom.

"All they wanted was smut,"Shirley heard herself saying"This is all my fault. I have impossible dreams, I must stop having them."

"See," Dream Shirley told Martha "I thought about the implications of my dreams then."

"The horse had already bolted," Martha said "And you still hadn't learned even then. However…"

"You can't do that," Laverne said.

"Do what?"

"Stop having dreams," Laverne answered "Your dreams keep us going, you can't give up now."

Shirley looked at Martha.

"I'm confused," Shirley said "You've just said having dreams is a weakness."

"I said letting your dreams control your life is a weakness. I also suggested you must learn how to control them, not stop having them," Martha said "Allie has similar dreams to you, but knows how to control the drive to achieve them. That's why she's more practical than you. You can get obsessed in trying to achieve your dreams and that has gotten you into trouble, and fairly close to getting yourself, Laverne and Allie killed."

Shirley bit her tongue. Martha was clearly using carrot and stick tactics to get through to her, and she was beginning to resent it. But, she could also see why. Martha, in her own way, was fond of Shirley. She was fond of Laverne, Allie, Kate, Cybill and Maryann, but Shirley knew that Martha felt closer to her. Martha clearly didn't want to see Shirley Feeney hurt, and would do anything to ensure that Shirley toughened up, even bullying tactics.

"What else are you trying to make me see?" Shirley asked.

"You really don't know?"

"No!"

"Then continue watching," Martha suggested.

Shirley's attention moved back to the scene. Another hour had moved on. Laverne was at the phone, and was looking frustrated.

"They're all out," Laverne said "The only person I could reach was somebody at the Pizza Bowl."

"And?"

"She promised to give Pop a message."

Shirley wanted to cry. This night was now fast turning into a nightmare.

"We can't stay here," Shirley said.

"We got no choice, Shirl," Laverne said.

Shirley looked at the Ticket Clerk.

"Oh no! I didn't did I?"

Martha smiled and saw Shirley cringe as her counterpart approached the desk and asked the desk clerk if she could borrow ten dollars so that she and Laverne could check into a motel.

"Oh brother," Shirley almost whinnied in embarrassment.

She saw Laverne whisper what the Ticket Clerk had in mind, and almost recoiled when she saw her counterpart lash out with her handbag. Laverne was pulling her to the bench and sitting her down. Shirley wanted to reach out to her counterpart when she started wailing. Martha pulled her closer and allowed Shirley to rest on her shoulder. She didn't notice that the real Laverne De Fazio had moved in behind them. Martha, however, had and mouthed "thank you" to her. Laverne mouthed back "my pleasure".

"Face it, Shirl, we're stuck here until somebody either comes to get us, or a bus comes,"Both Shirley and the real Laverne saw Laverne's counterpart say.

Both Laverne and Shirley herself wanted to reach out to Shirley's counterpart when she continued wailing.

"This is my fault," Shirley said "I know what you said before but you can't deny that my dreams got us into this mess."

"You did it for the best reasons."

Behind, Laverne wanted to repeat that, but Martha shook her head urgently. Now was not the time.

"Best reasons," Shirley said "You've lost an evening of unbridled smut, I've lost my life."

Laverne stroked Shirley's hair. Suddenly, Laverne was looking into Shirley's eyes, now stained with tears. There was suddenly a thought of unbridled smut, with Shirley Feeney.

"What just happened there?" Shirley asked.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?"

"When I get the chance, I will."

"Why not now," Martha said.

"Because she isn't here."

Shirley suddenly felt arms go around her shoulders

"Who says I ain't."

Shirley turned around and looked at Laverne.

"Vernie?"

"Martha's Doctor friend said there was room for more people in your dream," Laverne said.

Shirley suddenly hugged Laverne, taking her breath away as she did so.

"Hey, go easy," Laverne said "I can still hurt in a dream, ya know."

Shirley released Laverne.

"Okay, Laverne," Shirley said "I know I missed it before because I was too busy crying, but I saw it just then. What just happened?"

"Unbridled lust," Laverne answered "For you."

"What!"

"It's something you've been feeling for sometime isn't it?" Martha asked.

Laverne remained silent, thinking about what to say.

"Laverne?" Shirley pressed.

"Okay, Okay!" Laverne said "Yes, I had feelings for you on several occasions. But I suppressed, is that the right word?"

"Pretty much," Martha answered.

"I suppressed them, because I knew how you'd react."

"And how is that?" Shirley asked.

"With disapproval," Laverne said "It might even had ended our friendship, and I didn't want that."

Shirley put an arm around Laverne.

"Laverne, nothing could do that, and I mean nothing."

"You've had similar feelings?" Martha asked.

"Yes," Shirley admitted "Remember when I cold cocked that pilot, and you had to land the plane."

"Vividly."

"Remember I kissed you when I found out that you had to land that plane."

"You were scared," Laverne said.

"Scared of losing you, scared of missing the chance."

Laverne hugged Shirley.

"That wont happen, you'll get plenty of chances," Laverne said "And you wont lose me."

Laverne kissed Shirley on the lips. It was a tender loving kiss and lasted for several seconds before a cough from Martha stopped it. They turned around and saw that Laverne and Shirley's counterparts had moved the bum that occupied the bench and was sleeping on the bench with their heads touching.

"Aw," They both said "That's sweet."

"And a few hours later, Lenny and Squiggy picked us up and took us home," Shirley said.

"Was it?"

The question had come from a newcomer to the dream - Donna. She had with her Kate McCardle and Allie Lowell.

"Not quite how we remembered it," Kate said.

"In fact, we had quite an adventure," Allie said

"What!" Both Laverne and Shirley chorused.

The Diary Room

Kate McCardle and Allie Lowell entered just as Shirley was showing Laverne what she had written.

"Something new?" Allie asked

"Something that Martha and Donna showed us," Laverne said "Considering what happened to Cybill and Maryann, we felt we had to."

"Do you want our input?" Kate asked.

"I suppose it would finish the story," Shirley said "But it's up to you."

"What do you think, Kate?" Allie said "It is an unusual story."

"Al, everything about that was unusual," Kate sighed "But considering what Cybill and Maryann have just been through."

Kate took the Diary from Shirley, and started to write.

Flashback - The Bus Stop

Both Laverne and Shirley looked quizzically at Kate, Allie and Donna. Donna crossed her arms and gave Martha an over to you look.

"Well Fly Girl," Donna challenged.

"I think Kate and Allie should tell them," Martha said.

"Tell us what?" Laverne said "Kate, Allie, what's going on?"

Kate and Allie looked at Donna who suggested with a nod that they should go on. Kate took a deep breath.

"It wasn't Lenny and Squiggy who took you home that night," Kate said.

"Yes it was," Shirley said "They tried kissing us and we end up wrestling on the floor."

"That was added to your mind by the Shadow Proclamation to cover up what really happened," Donna said.

"Believe me, we were surprised when we found out," Allie added.

"Wait a minute," Laverne said "It was you and Kate?"

"Even down to the kiss, and the wrestling on the floor bit," Allie said, her face reddening slightly.

Both Laverne and Shirley looked at Kate for confirmation. Kate, slightly embarrassed, nodded her agreement.

"Why the cover up?" Shirley asked.

"It was deemed appropriate to do so," Martha said.

"Appropriate?"

Donna looked at Martha imploring her to continue.

"Events happened that slightly embarrassed the Shadow Proclamation," Martha said.

"They absolutely got their knickers in a twist," Donna said.

"An understatement if ever I've heard one," Kate said.

"I think you'd better tell us," Shirley said.

Donna and Martha looked at Kate and Allie.

"Wait a minute," Allie said "Donna has only just reminded us that this even happened."

"Yeah, what was that about?" Kate asked "Why didn't we remember what happened before?"

"Your memories were deliberately blanked," Donna said.

Laverne gave a sharp whistle forcing the attention to her.

"What about un-blanking mine and Shirl's," She said.

They looked at the Bus Station scene again, or better still, outside the bus station.

Outside the Bus Stop - One Hour Later

A car pulled up outside the Bus Station. The occupants of the car emerged and headed towards the building.. They were both women, and they were both wearing clothing anachronistic to the period, but ideal for the heat which was still in the eighties even at this time of night. Both Laverne and Shirley and Kate and Allie could see that the newcomers were Kate McCardle and Allie Lowell.

"Can it be any hotter?" Allie complained "My clothes are sticking to me."

"Should have worn something lighter, Al."

"Like you?"

Allie was looking at Kate's attire. She was wearing shorts and a light T-Shirt which was almost see through.

"I'd be arrested if I wore that," Allie said.

Donna allowed herself a smile. She knew what was coming next. Allie could see the look.

"What?"

"Allie, don't you remember what happened," Kate said.

"She's probably blanked it herself," Martha said.

Both Laverne and Shirley looked increasingly puzzled. Allie shook her head. She looked at her counterpart again. She was wearing similar shorts to Kate's but with a white blouse which showed the sweat. She noted that it had been buttoned up but two of the buttons had been undone to reveal an undershirt.

"You didn't have a lot of choice, Al," Kate added.

"I took the blouse off?" Allie said "Without a Bra on?"

Kate smiled and nodded. Allie put her hands over her eyes and watched through split fingers as her counterpart removed her blouse to reveal a very sexy undershirt, equally as see through as Kate's.

"That looks real sexy, Allie," Laverne said.

"Almost smutty," Shirley added.

"Thanks a lot guys," Allie said "I already feel bad enough."

"Allie, you minx," Kate's counterpart kidded "They'd arrest you if they saw you in that."

"Shut up," Allie responded.

"You can shut up as well," Allie said to Kate.

Kate pulled an imaginary zip across her lips. They watched their counterparts enter the building. Allie to her relief saw that there was no man in sight.

"Okay," Allie said "Where are they?"

Kate nudged Allie and nodded to the bench. Allie saw Laverne and Shirley lying on the bench, their heads touching. They looked so peaceful, so vulnerable, so sexy lying there in those dresses.

"Okay, mental cold shower," Allie said.

"Why?" Kate said.

"We were virtually drooling at them," Allie said.

"I know," Kate said "I remember."

Allie glared at Kate. Her memory was starting to return properly as well. Laverne and Shirley looked at both Kate and Allie.

"Oh that really is smutty," Shirley said.

Laverne looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I wouldn't have minded."

Shirley now gave Laverne a look.

"I probably would have had sex with an ape if I had the chance," Laverne said.

"Now that is disgusting."

"And mind boggling," Donna added "An Ape? That I would have paid to see."

"Excuse me, can we stop the journey down Smut Lane," Martha said "Even if it is the embarrassing thought of sex with an ape."

Donna allowed herself a smirk. Martha swatted her arm.

"Can I help you?"

Allie's counterpart saw the Desk Clerk emerge from behind the desk. She could see his eyes almost pop when he saw the see through nature of not only Allie's top, but Kate's as well. Allie pulled Kate to her side in an attempt to cover her modesty.

"We're here to pick up our friends," Kate said nodding to Laverne and Shirley.

"Uh, Oh," Kate said "Misunderstanding time."

"Why?" Shirley asked.

"Look at his face," Kate said "Look where his eyes are staring."

Both Laverne and Shirley could see that his eyes were fixed on counterpart Kate and Allie's see through tops.

"Oops!" Laverne said.

"Oops?" Allie said "That guy was virtually drooling. He was drooling so much the place would have been flooded."

Kate smiled at the thought. Then she heard herself say:

"We're going to take them home."

And cringed at what she had just said. Especially after she saw his eyes light up. He had clearly got the wrong end of the stick.

"We'll get them out of here," Kate continued "If you want to help, it's up to you."

The clerk looked at the sleeping Laverne and Shirley and the barely dressed Kate and Allie. His mind was working overtime, not two but four gorgeous women, all in sexy outfits, for him to play with.

"My wife would kill me," He said.

He left his desk and headed out of the building almost at a run.

"Your wife should stuff and mount you," Allie shouted "Did you see that, Kate? He was drooling."

"I saw, Allie," Kate said.

"That does it," Allie said "I'm never wearing this outfit again."

"Would you?" Martha asked.

"And face that again," Allie said "No way."

"You look like a guy magnet in that," Laverne said.

"I look like a prostitute," Allie said.

"Allie," Kate said "You looked gorgeous, even I fancied you in that."

Martha again looked knowingly at Donna. A look which was noticed by Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie.

"There's something you're not telling them," Shirley said "What is it?"

Kate, Allie and Laverne challenged both Martha and Donna with looks.

"I suggest you keep watching," Donna said.

Both Kate and Allie looked at Donna and Martha again. Then at Laverne and Shirley.

"We're as puzzled as you are," Laverne said.

"Sorry, I can't help," Shirley said "But then you said that we had an adventure, you must have known what happened next."

"We did have an adventure," Allie said "But there are gaps in our memories, gaps which are only just being filled."

The Diary Room

Kate stopped writing for a minute.

"What's wrong, Kate?" Allie said.

"Does Cybill and Maryann need to know exactly what happened?" Kate said "Does anybody?"

"I wont be showing it to Jennie and Chip," Allie said "And I suspect that you wont be showing this to Emma, but we do owe Cybill and Maryann this."

"We do," Laverne added.

"Maybe we can gloss over the more embarrassing moments," Shirley said "Make it less X rated."

"X-rated?" Allie said thoughtfully "I think we can clean it up a little."

"We didn't do anything wrong," Kate said "And Cybill and Maryann aren't idiots."

"Neither are Donna and Martha," Laverne said.

"They left us to make sure we understood what we were seeing," Kate said.

"They did the right thing," Allie said "We had to see. Write, Kate."

Kate looked at Laverne and Shirley who nodded their agreement. Kate picked up the pen and started to write.

Flashback - The Bus Station

"Where have they gone?" Kate asked.

They had seen that Donna and Martha had slipped away leaving them to watch the scene on their own.

"More importantly, why?" Allie said.

"This confirms that they're hiding something from you," Shirley said.

"It does, doesn't it," Allie said.

"Well, we're about to find out what it is," Laverne said "Together. You did say that we ended up wrestling on the floor together."

"We thought we were waking you up," Allie said "You pulled us into a kiss. That part we do remember."

"Maybe that's not what happened," Kate suggested.

They turned to face the scene. They saw Kate and Allie's counterpart hovering over Laverne and Shirley.

"Want to shake them?" Allie asked.

"I want to be Prince Charming," Kate smiled.

"You're kidding."

"Why not?"

"You're not a man," Allie said.

"Neither are you."

"I don't want to kiss them."

"Don't you?"

Allie looked at Kate.

"You're serious aren't you?"

Kate crossed over to Shirley and stroked her hair. Allie went over to Laverne and did the same thing.

"This is silly," Allie said.

Kate fell to her knees and put a hand gently on Shirley's face. Allie looked at Laverne and took a deep breath.

"Come on, Al, be spontaneous," Kate said "You know you want to do it.

Allie stroked Laverne's cheek.

"Oh god!" Allie half whined.

Laverne looked so peaceful, so vulnerable, so kissable. Allie could feel her heart pounding. She looked at Kate and saw that she was also hovering over Shirley. Kate seemed so determined before, but now.

"I think we guessed what was on your mind," Laverne said.

Laverne looked at Shirley. Shirley made a face, but nodded.

"We must have taken the decision out of your hands," Shirley said "God help us."

Both Kate and Allie nodded. They watched both Laverne and Shirley settle it by reaching up and dragging both Kate and Allie to them. Laverne kissed Allie firmly, murmuring Allie's name as she did so. Shirley did exactly the same to Kate. They both forced their respective partner to the ground and began ravaging them passionately.

"Oh god, It wasn't a wrestling match," Laverne said "We almost raped you."

Shirley took Laverne's hand. Then she reached out to Kate, Laverne did the same thing to Allie

"We are so sorry," Shirley said.

"Considering what we were about to do to you, I think you've got nothing to be sorry about," Allie said.

"You weren't going to do it," Laverne said "We forced it."

Kate took Shirley's hand and squeezed it.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, either of you," She said "We deserved what we got. And it didn't get that far."

They turned back to the scene. Allie took Laverne's hand as they did so. They saw both Laverne and Shirley wake up to see who they were pinning on the ground.

"Kate?" Shirley said.

"Allie?" Laverne echoed.

Both Laverne and Shirley got off their respective partner. Both of them looking shocked.

"Yep," Kate said

"It's us," Allie said with a smile.

Laverne helped Allie to her feet, whilst Shirley helped Kate to hers. Laverne suddenly hugged Allie taking Allie's breath away as she did so. Shirley did the same thing to Kate.

"You came for us," Shirley said.

"We came to take you home," Kate said.

They kissed each other. So did Laverne and Allie. Then they broke off, slightly embarrassed about what they had just done.

"So that's what Donna and Martha wanted us to see," Kate said "We share the same love for each other as Cybill and Maryann have. I love Allie, Shirley and probably you Laverne as well. That's what makes us Daughters of Herne."

"That's why we weren't ready," Allie said "We didn't understand the love we have for each other. Cybill and Maryann had shown us the way, and Martha and Donna finished the job."

"Does Cybill and Maryann feel the same way about us?" Shirley asked.

"I assume so," Laverne said "After all that's what's being a Daughter of Herne is all about. That's why if one dies, we all die."

"That's profound, Vernie," Shirley said.

"I try, Shirl."

Shirley put her arms around Laverne. They then both allowed Kate and Allie into the hug.

The Diary Room

Kate closed the book, and then took Allie's and Shirley's hand. Laverne put her arms around Kate.

"I love you guys," Kate said "Shirley Feeney, Laverne De Fazio, and especially you Allie Adams Lowell."

"What about Cybill and Maryann?" Shirley asked.

"What about the adventure that followed," Laverne said "The one we had with Maxwell Smart, Agent 99 and Hymie the Robot."

"Do you really want to tell them about that?" Allie said.

Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie looked at each other.

"Naw!" They chorused.
