Bette’s house, morning: Tina walks into the living room in a bikini, drying her hair with a towel, when she sees Bette drinking a glass of orange juice in the kitchen, dressed in jeans.
Tina – Morning! Aren’t you going to have breakfast with me?
Bette – No, I’m late! I’ll buy some coffee on the way.
The blonde looks disappointed.
Tina – OK, I’ll call Meg and see what she is up to.
The brunette walks over to her and gives her a light kiss.
Bette – Sorry … You come to spend the weekend and I disappear.
Tina – It’s OK. I know that you are busy. Don’t come home too late, though. We are going to the nightclub tonight, remember?
The gallery owner frowns.
Bette – Hmmm … Can’t we postpone it? I have too much going on!
Tina caresses her arm.
Tina – If you can’t go, I’ll go with Al.
Bette raises her eyebrows.
Bette – Are you going … without me?
Tina – Uh-huh … Alice is feeling down because of Cindy. I don’t want to bail out on her.
The brunette pouts, playfully.
Bette – OK … have fun … without me …
The producer chuckles.
Tina – You’ll survive.
She gives her girlfriend a light kiss before the brunette leaves.
————————————————
Lesbian nightclub, night: Tina and Alice are seated and drinking beer, watching the crowd. Alice’s jaw drops.
Alice – She is here!
Tina – Where?
Alice points to Cindy, who is talking to two other women. She stares at the athlete with dreamy eyes.
Alice – Isn’t she hot?
The producer glances at Cindy and smiles.
Tina – Wow … she is!
She turns to her friend with a serious face.
Tina – But you must ignore her!
Alice – She is so fine …
Tina rolls her eyes.
Tina – She needs to value you. And she won’t if you are always available.
Alice sighs and continues to stare at the athlete.

Happy Holidays dbff!!!
I am happy you already did the rewrite, it would be very sad if you let your inspiration freeze by Gen Q.
I truly enjoy this rewrite!
Shane! Great way to introduce her :-) Meg is right, Tina is full of love and adopts Shane right away as her little sister. I love how you put the gang together one by one. Btw I can’t remember if the show ever explained how Shane became Bette’s friend. Did they ever?
Tina is spending quite some time at Bette’s house. Nice how T + B seem to get closer naturally. “..and this is our bedroom.” Too cute!
Happy Holidays to you too and thanks for posting. Do you really only have 7 ch left? Oh I’d wish you had more. Or another story in the making. I really like your story ideas!
Merry Christmas! and Thank you for the update!
I agree about Gec Q – i’m not watching but sometimes after their “news” i have a hard time even read Tibette’s story. And i may only guess how hard and uninspirid it can be for writers, who tried to write Tibette’s stories.
Sad.
I like that Tina is making friends with Shane. I am beginning to see Tina as a good judge of people. She sees the positive attributes in people and possibly the potential in individuals. I just hope that Bette will learn some of this as well.
Peter Pan – that was a hilarious reference. Its very hard to write humor. But this was good…
Thanks for this chapter…. Happy Christmas.
This is the times that we NEED these stories the most. Keep hope alive & so much praise and gratitude to the writers who continue with their efforts.
dbff,
listen to YOUR 4evah fans bc we KNOW a classy Author when we read her words!!
Frickin’ Bette is too damn funny when it comes to Tina…especially in a bar!! She soon as burn a whole in anybody with a “lazor look” and not give 2 flips who has to parish!!! HeHeHe!!!!!
She ain’t likely to apologize about her alpha-ness when Tina is being pursued. Tho I think she may convince her to cut Shane some slack.
Tina knows all she has to do is tell Bette to “c’mere” with a soft southern drawl and she’ll settle down immediately.
Hi,
So happy to see rewrite complete before the cold water of the new Show!
Loving this and hope you will continue writing to rectify the new show as it unwinds.
Thanks for the post, have I mentioned how much I love this Story?:-)

Keep reading! I think you can make the story longer than seven chapters, but if you start a new one that is good too. Enjoy all your stories…
Meant to say “Keep writing” not keep reading…. :)
“The producer pouts looking at Bette.
Tina – You didn’t save anything for me …?
Bette – I saved love for you.”
Now that’s one of the loveliest answer I ever read in a fanfiction ! Simply lovely…
I always felt that our dearest Bette was deeply a romantic nature but her numerous emotional scars never let her feel safe enough to take the risk to love someone – until her soulmate appear in her life, Tina.
Bette is so the opposite of Shane, who is the only true womanizer and player of the gang.
She just didn’t believe in love because of her family, that’s all.
Great chapter again, I love your story so much !!
Faithfully yours – A.
