The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
Before Bette can decline Tina volunteers to go get the drinks for all.
“So where were we” Al joins the little ones, and turns the page of the album.
Cambridge, England 1991
Bette is far far away in dreamland tasting the finest chocolate this world had to offer
“Answer the phone Bette”
Bette looks up “I’m kinda busy right now Tina”
“Answer the phone Bette” Tina demanded
Why does she keep saying that we’re on an empty beach, there is no phone, no sooner had that thought entered her mind, when she heard the shrill sound of a ringing phone.
In an instant her surroundings changed from heaven to the darkness of her room, the ringing had stopped, she just had time to glance at the clock which read 01:43 am and Tina time 17:43, when the ringing started again.
“Tina”
“No Bette it’s Al….” Al’s tone was grave enough for panic to set in, whatever Al’s next words where she just knew they couldn’t be good.
“Tina..” All further attempts at speech stuck in her throat nothing was getting past the huge lump that had instantly taken up residence.
“Bette..there’s been an accident….Tina’s…..”
At these words Bette dropped the phone from her grasp and she sank to the floor.
Helena jumped out of bed at the sight before her.
“Bette….” Helena placed her hands on Bette’s shoulders. “Bette….talk to me….what’s happened” realising any attempt at obtaining any information out of Bette right now was futile, Helena picked up the phone.
Thanks to Helena’s jet and Peggy’s insistence, within 24 hours Bette and Helena spotted Al in the hospital foyer, Helena had filled Bette in with the details she had received from Al during the journey, which apart from that had passed in relative silence.
“Thank god your here” Al said arms outstretched in an attempt to give and receive a miniscule amount of comfort.
“Is she awake” Bette asked breaking free of Al’s embrace.
“No…not yet but the doctors are hopeful it should be anytime soon”
“Take me to her”
At the mono tonal sound of Bette’s voice coupled with her glazed look, Al looked at Helena questioningly, mouthing “what the fuck”
“May I suggest you take her to Tina….now” Helena softly demanded.

Hey great as usual, bt pls don’t keep them apart for long:)I understand u can’t re post everything bt may be just dis story PLEASE. PPVVVS
tina will do the right thing for bette, even if bette dsnt like it she will go. poor tina losing her family and bette now wow skimm drama drama. any way skimm love reading and talking see ya
Wow can you say Peggy leaving the crow speechless… even though we all know they end up together in the end…still hard knowing that they go through this temporary seperation.
Skimmy you do spin an excellent yarn sooooooo perfectly. Why couldn’t Bette finish her degree in California…Tina had just been through a tremendous trauma and I think that Bette was doing the right and unselfish thing staying with her. Why do other people always think they know best. Bette was smart and taking a year off to help Tina recover wouldn’t have been a huge hardship for her. Well there endeth my sermon…stand up Bette and just say NO! Ohhhh….really well written by the way!
Poor Tina but hope she will go with Bette!
wow…nice twist in the story. didnt expect that one. great writing! looking forward what happens next…and yah, what are bette’s suitcases doing on the bed???
Poor Tina… instead of Bette leaving, was actually going with Bette an option? Post soon, and thanks.
ROFLMAOOOOOO HEY!!!! I resemble part of that author note! LMAO! You are too funny. The chat was hysterical the other night, and girl you are VERY sharp. I hardly got through my popcorn before you “guessed” that other person’s alter ego. I’m going to send you an honorary police badge! Okay…once again you have me hanging on your every word. Because it’s you, the unpredictable author who will write from her creative side and not what may or may not be expected by the readers, I’m VERY worried about the suitcases……….MORE!!!!!! ABBA ABBA ABBA! Hee Hee
OM Tna hasn’t got any family left apart Bette. What will she do if Bette leaves? poor Tina and Poor Bette.

Skimmer. Wow. You’ve left me totally speechless and absolutely and totally thankful that you stuck to your guns on this writing thing. I didn’t know we had a chat thing here. You know you’ve just contributed to my not getting any work done ever. Especially if you’re going to be around. Ok, back to commenting on the story. Wow (I know, I know, how illiterate of me to have to repeat that). Fat legs, how could you do that? You’re killing me here. No, but seriously, I was on page 4 or 5 when I realized that even though the obvious person to feel bad for is Tina, Bette has also lost a big part of her life. The Kennards were basically her adoptive family when she was younger. This is a great twist. Though I would have liked to have seen more conversation between Peggy and Tina. They seem like great matches for one another. Love this. So MUCH. PPVVVVVVVVVVVVS (and that isn’t enough V’s but I figured my comment would get cut off eventually)
Peggy’s behaviour is outrageous! Argh! Poor Tina… I’m glad that you continue this story. :o)
Awww Tina, her love for Bette is stronger than her fear of losing a loved one again. Is there a possibility that Tina leaves with Bette and stays the entire time that Bette is in England?
Thank you Skimmer for updating this story. Excellent twist. Love it and can’t wait to see what happens! I hope Tina goes with Bette! Thank you again for this and I’m sorry I can’t answer your question – I don’t know who I’ll save and probably drown being so fickle :-)
Ah persistent pushy Peabody
Skimmer I love both or your stories. Thanks for this update. Tina is very brave…
