    Author Notes:

    “There’s only us, there’s only this. Forget, regret or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way, no day but today.”

    Alice had joined Bette and Alex back at the table.

    Alice: She’s getting dressed as we speak. She said she’d meet me there in a little while.

    Bette: Remind me again where “there’ is exactly.

    Alice smiled.

    Alice: Lake Powell. Tina and I used to go there all the time. We tried our first cigarette there, first taste of beer, first kiss. It’s where she and I would disappear to if we didn’t want to be found. We have had all of our most intense conversations there.

    Bette: Oh great, so no pressure.

    Alex: Would you just give it a rest? You’re giving me ulcers.

    Alex clutched his stomach with one hand and inhaled his cigarette with the other.

    Bette: And I’m the drama queen.

    Alex: I learned everything I know from watching you.

    Bette gave Alex a doubtful look.

    Alex: Ok well you and Joan Crawford and Norma Desmond.

    Bette: and…

    Alex smiled

    Alex: Patti LuPone, Glenn Close, Bette Midler

    Alice: And…

    Alex took a deep breath.

    Alex: Ethel Merman, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Meryl Streep, and of course

    Bette: Barbara!

    Alice: Barbara!

    Alex: Good job lesbians!!

    Alice looked over Alex’s shoulder at the clock.

    Alice: Well, gang. It’s time to head out. Everyone ready?

    Alex: Yup.

    Bette: I just have a quick question. If I were to get up and run, hitchhike to the airport and hop on the next plane back to New York, would that be bad?

    Alice rolled her eyes.

    Alice: Girl, what is it with you? You are like the personification of the word confidence. Now you’re acting like a chicken *****!

    Alex: Come on. It’ll be find. Don’t you want to see her?

    Bette didn’t even hesitate.

    Bette: Of course. But what if she doesn’t want to see me?

    Alice took hold of Bette’s hand, and the three made their way back to he car.

    The anticipation looming in the air was thick and Bette found it almost impossible to breath. In her head she had gone over what she would say to Tina at least a million times. She knew that monologue backward and forward. The one part of the script that was missing was Tina’s response. In Bette’s dreams Tina would stand up and run into her arms. They would kiss like it was the first time and then fly off into the sunset. In Bette’s worst nightmares Tina wouldn’t even show up. She had been in plenty of relationships but never had she cared this much. Never had her heart actually belonged to someone else. It was the scariest feeling in the world. When the car stopped so did Bette’s pulse.

    3. Well, Ms. Flair, i am way behind in my fanfic but you have been suggested to me by many, many individuals. I look forward to reading every word you have written!

    9. Ahhh, a cliffhanger like that and the knowledge that there is only one more chapter. Evil woman! Anyway, count me in for the sequel, I’ve loved every chapter of this story. Will Alex and Alice be in the sequel too?

    12. oh man your such a tease….i hope Tina say something good to Bette that was beautiful i love it and Bette is soo cute..i almost die when i read that story will be end..thanks god i continue to read before i pass out..lol..i know that will be a great sequel..thanks Flair your ROCK!!!!

    14. “It’s my job to wipe them away”… my goodness, that moment just melt me like a sugar in a cup of hot tea !! Irresistible… I’m still melting… how sweet…

      My lady with so much Flair and writing talent, OF COURSE you have to draw the curtain on the next act !! SOON !!
      What would happened to me without a sequel ?? I’d be an awful “drama reader”, as simple as that.
      Sooo… please don’t beg or kneel anymore in front of your SO numerous hungry readers : for me, I promise to read and comment forever !
      So I immediately subscribe for a season ticket. Qui m’aime me suive ! (lol)

      Few last words yet…

      At first for you : from the bottom of my heart, million of thanks for such an intense drama story, haunting, beautiful, full of charm and moving.
      It was a true daily regal – and I’m looking forward this SOOO wanted sequel, ready to applause, cry and laugh ! Draw the curtain, please, quickly ! ^_^

      Endly, a word for our delicious Alex : don’t try to avoid the sequel, we need you and we love you !
      … but… could you please add the great Judy Garland in your list of inspirations, between Norma Desmond (how I adore this movie, my god…) and Bette “Margo Channing” Davis ? I’m such a huge admirer of Judy, so that’s my highly selfish wish here ! Thanks, Alex, see you soon !

    18. I absolutely love this story, I so love this Bette and Tina. And as for NY I can wait until I fly across the pond and meet up with you guys next month!!

    19. Ahh the cliffhanger might kill me! I hope Tina is about to say something good, in fact she better after what Bette just said to her. Can’t wait to see what happens! Please post the last *tear* chapter soon, but don’t worry I’ll be reading the sequel for sure!

    20. I’m just glad you got them together before you left us hangin’. It’s good that Alice is excited about a possible relationship of her own, and that Tina is as thoughtful about her friend, as Alice is to her. It’s nice to have such great loyal friends.

    21. Chances are that your sequel will have more than the usual followers…Need you ask if we want a sequel…If you didn’t I’d have to hunt you down in NYC, and believe me I’m from Northern Canada and that’s a long way, but I’d do it…..So PLEASE write, soon, long, frequent….and now!!! THANKYOU

    23. Flair,
      Thank you for beautifully bringing Bette and Tina back together.
      After all of the anger and hurt it was truly awesome to see them together and rekindling their love.
      Making them admit how they felt lost and incomplete without each other was inspired.
      Please post the last chapter soon as I am sure the a ride in to the beautiful sunset is required.
      Only allowed as the sequel will appear soon after as I hooked on your flair of all things fiction.
      Can’t wait and let the good times roll.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    24. Oh My what a great tale you weave. I have been in love with this from the moment I read you story and you have never disappointed. I love the joy, angust and back to joy again as you have wound us on this merry ride. Your characters are alive with wit and breath that makes them so real to me as I read about them. Thanks

    25. Theatre people are soo dramatic! Believe me, I know! Haha It’s great that Bette was able to say all that she wanted to. Can’t wait to see what Tina has to say. You have no idea how happy you made me when you said that you’ve already got a sequel in the works! WOO-HOO!!!

    26. WHy do I get the feeling that there is a big BUT coming? lol! I hope Tina doesn’t break Bette’s heart after she’s made herself so vulnerable. This was such a sweet post, thanks!

    27. WHOA! It So Awesome Beautiful Amazing Writing I LOVE IT LOL! I’s just really happy to read this right now WHOA! I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT LOL! GREAT THANKS you make my DAY GREAT it’s really LOVELY I Love B&T together PLEASE POST SOON.

    31. OK. When Bette told her it was her job to wipe her tears..my heart went into my throat. I love your writing, your story, and I hope your kisses because I can’t wait for a sequel. Post soon..PLEASE

    34. If you throw out kisses for each chapter you will write to each person that does comment then I dont believe you will have any lips left. I will comment, Save your kisses for you LOYL. Love your story.

    35. AHHHHH my heart my heart, It seems all the authors are putting the readers in a BT Purgatory..and U are no different! (shame shame) I don’t mean to get greedy, cross a line, or tell you what to do, but Sister I want an NC17 from you!!! You know your stuff and here’s a kiss MMMUAHHHHHHHH

    37. awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, so sweet. so what’s this sequel gonna have in store i wonder? there’s no doubt that i will read it because i am an absolute junkie for your work! keep it coming flair!

    38. You are the queen of the cliffhangers! This story is endlessly romantic, and I don’t want it to end. But I want closure.
      That’s a conundrum, isn’t it?

      What’s a Techie to do??????

      Love all your ladies of the theatre. No Jessye? No Leontyne? Denyce, (http://www.denycegraves.com) maybe??? Mama!!!!

    40. Flair..you dog. Your name suits you. Only one more chapter..boo hoo.

      But I’ll take the season tickets to the sequel. As long as they stay together and you get rid of these heart-stopping, molar crunching endings.

      Just kidding, your stories wouldn’t be your stories without them. Great job!

    41. YAY!!! Could you drag it out anymore? lol of course, you know that you cant disappoint everyone here who is begging DYING for a happy ending. But if theres a definite sequel ahead, then you do have room for a cliffhanger of an ending, dont ya? teehee dont tell the others I said that. I love cliffhangers but I also love happy, gooey, sobby, goddamn lovey endings. Im with techgal, Im torn! Keep writing, you’re fabulous woman!

    44. This chapter is reall moving! Thank you so much for sharing such a splendid TiBette story with us!!
      But I guess I’m a bit angry with Tina. Why only she could go to Chicago for 2 weeks? Then what’s wrong with Bette to go back to NYC? Bette’d done so much for her and their relationship. What did she do? Why couldn’t she even understand or try to help with Bette’s difficulties? Staying with her without a job and dream is the best thing for Bette?

    46. Only one more chapter to go! And you left us hanging like this. If you didn’t promise us a sequel I would be very disapointed. I have loved your story all the way!

    47. Damn this is beautiful and yes Tina will come home with you Bette, love what Bette said to Tina and let see what’s Tina reaction. Oh love what Bette tell about her play softball in school, is so funny. Please post soon, thanks!
