"You're Francis?" Bonnie asked in disbelief as she looked at the blond beauty in front of her.

"Oh, you must've thought I was a guy." Vivian said with a smile. She had always needed to explain herself about that because ever since Doctor Possible made a joke about equality among men and women in the lab, her co-workers started to call her Francis.

"It's an old joke here with my co-workers." Vivian briefly explained before dismissing the topic.

"Right..." Bonnie muttered before looking back at her best friend who was dreamily looking at Vivian.

"So Tara, want to go on the grand tour of the place?" Vivian asked with the brightest smile Tara and Bonnie had ever seen. The younger blond could only nod in reply as she started to follow Vivian towards the door to the lab. She had already taken a couple of steps when Bonnie suddenly pulled on her arm.

"One moment doc," Bonnie said to Vivian before pulling Tara to a corner.

"What gives T?" Bonnie asked Tara while holding both of her arms.

"What gives?" Tara repeated as she looked at her best friend quizzically.

"Hello, you didn't tell me that Francis was a woman." Bonnie told her before letting go and then crossing her arms over her chest.

"I didn't?" Tara asked while trying to fake innocence.

"Don't give me that, Ms. Tara James King." Bonnie replied while raising an eyebrow at her.

"Okay you got me." Tara said in defeat.

Bonnie was expecting an explanation when Tara suddenly hugged her.

"I'll tell you all about it later..." Tara whispered before running back to Vivian's side and then gesturing the older blond inside the lab.

Bonnie just stood there in the lobby alone and confused. She had known her best friend ever since they were small and never, not once had she thought that Tara played for the other team. With all the boys she dated including Josh Mankey, who would have thought she would turn out liking women too?

"Ugh, she's got a lot of explaining to do." Bonnie said to herself before sitting down on the couch of the lobby once more.

Meanwhile inside the laboratory, Vivian was giving Tara the grand tour of the place but unknown to her, Tara wasn't listening at all and instead just had hear full focus on watching her.

"And that is about it." Vivian said to Tara as she finished her tour.

"Oh, finished already?" Tara asked, her consciousness slowly going back to reality.

"My... my... never seen another female so into this stuff. I'm glad you applied to be my assistant." Vivian said as she gave Tara a half hug and a smile.

"Me too," Tara replied before returning the hug.

"Come on. Let's get you back to your friend. She must be bored to death back in the lobby." Vivian told Tara with a smile before gesturing the younger blond to follow her.

The two walked side-by-side as they came out of the door that led to the laboratory. They were all smiles as they walked to were Bonnie was and this made the latter raise an eyebrow when she looked at Tara.

"Hey Bonnie, I'm sorry it took me a while to tour your best friend. I guess we lost track of time because Tara here was so interested in the place." Vivian said to Bonnie while offering an apologetic smile.

"Oh, I'm sure Tara was very interested alright." Bonnie replied while meaningfully eyeing her best friend.

"Right... We'll we wouldn't want to take you away from your work Francis, so we'll be going now." Tara said as she quickly pushed Bonnie towards the front door of the Space Center. Bonnie couldn't say anything else because Tara was covering her mouth and for the first time she realized that Tara had the strength to manhandle her.

Vivian could only smile as she watched the two disappear in the distance.

"Was that Tara and Bonnie?" A voice asked from behind her.

"Yes, I just finished giving Tara a grand tour of the lab." Vivian explained as she faced James.

James simply smiled in reply and then nodded before gesturing Vivian to follow him back to the laboratory. Outside of the Space Center, Bonnie was bombarding Tara with questions about a lot of things that she had just learned about her best friend.

"Best friends don't keep secrets from each other T." Bonnie said to Tara while sounding a little hurt.

Tara saw that Bonnie wasn't playing. She knew before hand that when the truth came out, she would have a lot of explaining to do. Thinking of the best thing that she could do with the given situation, Tara slowly pulled Bonnie in for a hug and then gently rubbed her back to calm her best friend down.

"I'm sorry, I know that we shouldn't keep secrets from each other but this was just something I wasn't ready to admit while I was still here." Tara whispered to Bonnie's ear.

"But all the boys you dated..." Bonnie said as she tried to make heads and tails of everything that had happened before.

"Were just some guys I used to show people that I was the perfect girl they thought I was." Tara finished her sentence. Tara gave her a tight hug afterwards as she tried to show Bonnie that she was still the same person.

"Fine," Bonnie said as she separated herself from Tara.

"Give me some time to wrap my mind around this." Bonnie said as she continued to walk towards her car.

"So we're cool?" Tara asked as she stood in front of the car's door on the passenger side. Bonnie looked at her for a couple of seconds before speaking up once more.

"When we bathed together before, did you check me out?" Bonnie asked Tara with a straight face. Tara was shocked by the question but after a couple of seconds, realized that Bonnie was joking.

"Don't flatter yourself. Not everything's about you, you know. Besides, Francis is definitely much sexier than you." Tara replied with full conviction.

"Why you!" Bonnie exclaimed before she jokingly threw Tara's small bag at her.

"Hey." Tara said as she caught her bag.

"Serves you right," Bonnie said while sitting down on the driver's seat.

After the exchange, a burst of laughter was heard from the car while the two friends made up. They both hugged each other and then afterwards returned to their original position. Tara was relieved to know that they were okay now while Bonnie was being the best friend that tried to understand her friend.

"I'm glad we're okay" Tara said while the car started to exit the parking lot.

"We're okay but we're not yet even." Bonnie said with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
