Bette arrived just in time to start the class, she had missed the induction she realised Damn, bet the teachers going to be some old bat who hates me for being late she mumbled to herself. She finally gets her leg warmer on but bumps into someone in the process. When she looks up, she is face to face with the most beautiful woman she has ever seen, the vision rendered Bette speechless. wow, this is a first she thought, say something you idiot, dont just stare So, have you met the old bag thatll be teaching us? Bette managed Tina thought she was the most adorable thing, running in trying to put her leg warmers on and talking to herself. She tried to resist the urge to smile at what the woman had just said and in answer to her question replied My names Tina. Im the old bag! And you are? oh *****, oh *****, oh *****. Nice one Porter, very smooth. So now what. Wait is she trying not to smile, god I hope so Im Bette, Bette Porter. Sorry about that I Tina cut her off, trying to lighten the mood she said No worries, just hope I dont disappoint ya. Although if youd prefer an old bag I think it can be arranged? She had managed to keep a straight face but seeing this gorgeous woman so flustered was making it difficult. Before Bette had a chance to reply, Tina was at the front of the class getting ready to start. ____________________________________________ Wow, I havent had that much fun since. Well I cant remember, Ive got to thank Al for this!! she thought as she was headed home. She still had to shower and change before meeting the girls at Radar. She was still mortified over her earlier blunder but she thought she saw Tina smiling at her throughout the class. She tried her best not to look like an idiot and thought she had done a decent job considering how long it had been and hoped she managed to make some kind of impression. Little did she know how much of an impression she did make!! _____________________________________________ Tina had just settled into a hot bath and was thinking about her first class in sunny L.A. All in all she thought it had gone well and people seemed to have enjoyed it. damn but Bette could move she thought. She had decided to just have fun and get to know people instead of jumping straight into the classical stuff and was secretly congratulating herself on her choice of content. As she was getting ready for bed she was thinking that there was someone in particular shed like to get to know very well, one Miss Bette Porter to be exact. She wasnt sure what it was but she felt that she needed to befriend this mystery woman and that somehow she would help Tina to discover what she always felt was missing. _____________________________________________ At Radar Well Al, brace yourself coz here she comes whispers Dana as she spots Bette heading towards them Hi guys. Hey Al, can I have a word with you please? Bette smiles at Dana and Shane and the turns around indicating for Alice to follow her. here we go thought Alice as stood up to follow Bette, maybe this wasnt one of your best ideas.. who am I kidding, it was a great idea she just hasnt realised it yet. Once they were out of sight and Alice had compiled her defence, Bette threw her arms around Alice and thanked her. Needless to say this threw the blond off guard and she had to pinch herself to make sure she wasnt dreaming. did Porter just thank me? I must be hallucinating or something!! Umm youre welcome I guess Dont sound so surprised Al! Bette says smiling at her dumbfounded friend Well Porter I am, I thought you would want to murder me or something Or something said Bette still smiling Ok so since you havent, whats going on. SPILL is Porter, why you in such a good mood? Alice was now grinning from ear to ear, she knew that whatever had saved her from the wrath Bette Porter was going to make for some juicy gossip!!!!
