    The Interview – II

     

     

     Previously

     

     “Do you want to take a break, have some coffee, some sugar?”  Pancha asked

     

    They both enthusiastically agreed and the three of them sat down in kitchen of Pancha’s hotel suite, ate and drank and relaxed for a while.

     

    “How was your flight out here?”  Tina asked.

     

    “Uneventful.  Boring.  I always take a book,” grinned Pancha.

     

    “Are you going to see anything in the city before you go home?”  Bette asked.

     

    “I think I’ll take in a couple of art museums.”

     

    “Really?” said Bette.

     

    They chatted about art and architecture in LA and other things and then were ready to resume the interview.

    =====================================================

     

    The Interview, II

     

    Pancha:  Many are interested in what you are doing now, five years after your split, so the questions will be on that———So, Bette, describe your professional life.

     

    Bette:  I’m still working for Peggy Peabody.  I have her art gallery here in LA up and running and have just about put the finishing touches on the one in New York.  We should open in about six weeks.  And I have already begun work on a gallery for her in Chicago.

     

    Pancha:  How’s Peggy, anyway?

     

    Bette:  She’s just great.  Still full of energy and interest.  Ageless, really.

     

    Pancha:  What’s happened to Helena Peabody?

     

    Tina:  She’s running a mega-orphanage on the French Riviera.

     

    Pancha:  So, Tina, how about you?

     

    Tina:  I worked at Alphaville and took a job at a movie studio for a while, but that didn’t work out.  Now I’m working with a production company that does films for television.  I’m happy with that because those films are usually more interesting to me than lots of the feature films you see in the theaters.

     

    Pancha:  Everyone is very interested in your personal relationships the last five years, so Tina?

     

    Tina:  Ok, well.  Blair and I had an exclusive relationship for several years, but broke up when she became so involved with her career that we didn’t have much time together.  She really was on the fast track to becoming a top trial lawyer and she’s moving right along.  The breakup was very “amicable,” as they say in Hollywood.

    1. My first “phew” was because I was waiting with baited breath for how B&T ended. They ended apart, I found out. Your writing is so beautiful and so convincing that I am beginning to lose interest in the show – because now I am convinced that they are going to part in the show as well, and I have no interest in a show that doesn’t have these two characters together romantically. Even if they are struggling. The powers and pleasures of your writing are immense. My question to Pancha: On the show, would you like the characters to have them end up together, or do you think – based on what you have seen on the screen – that this wine is too stressed and cannot be decanted?Now please please write a happier story. Many thanks.

    2. Sure, we all want a fairytale ending with B&T living happily ever after…but your story is great. It’s very realistic, and the timeframe seems to have allowed the characters time to get past the hardest parts of the breakup. They seem happy and content with their current situations…and that’s a happy ending in and of itself. YAY! Thanks, Pancha.

    3. We know that Leigh is much younger than Bette,and they to have a child.Bette seems very happy with her life as of now.Which happen when your past life falls apart. You just go forward and try harder. Tina was will one women that was younger and a lot like the old Bette and that didn’t stick,So now she has Kay and seems very happy.,but nothing can take the place of the first love. They will always be connected because of Angie. s the sun sets on two happy people that looks forward to the sunrise of happerdays. thanks

    4. i don’t know why but it didn’t seem like B&T were truthful…i love your writing but i just can’t see them sitting together after they split up and calmly talk about being in love with someone else and then go and say that if they would meet now they would just go back home…doesn’t sounds like B&T i know…but then again, i’ll go down with this ship if Ilene would choose to break them up, so i’ll be forever a citizen of denialville…please post something happy next time…i’m tired of crying

    5. No no no no noooo lol just kidding I was one of the few that said break them up and I am glad you did. I think once most of the fans get over the over romantazised notion of Bette & Tina you realize that the relationship they have is not exactly healthy. There is way too much hurt, disthrust and a few other issues swimming around in that pool. I appreciate that you wrote them ending and finding peace of mind with themselves but also with each other. Now if this is what we will be treated to on the show is a different story. You might also have to right a shoulda for that.

    6. Well there isn’t really much I can comment on. It’s good to see they have both matured and aren’t taking cheap shots at each other (or maybe they did and I missed it).

    7. Well done! These last two chapters were written very well, looking forward to reading more from you. Thank you. Random questions for you if you want to answer or not answer for the last part of the interview. (1) Red or White Wine?. (2) Have you ever walked to the top of a Volcano? (3) Have you ever saw a shooting star and made a wish and that wish has come true?

    8. For Panacha: These questions are too personal – I recognize that. Please ignore if they offend, and please accept my apologies in advance. I have now lost interest in the show (thank you) but I have developed an interest in you (as a writer). So: Are you a professional writer? If not, what field do you work in (broadly)? Is this your first attempt at writing? Are you besotted with B&T? How old are you and have you been through an emotionally intense and wrenching relationship yourself?

    9. It’s interesting. As I was reading this, I thought about my story. I had them apart for 15 years, and I wonder…if I had an interview with them similar to this at the five year mark, what would their answers have been? Because, at five years Bette was with Nica and they had already adopted Milaine…and Tina was married to Dan and already had two children by that time. It’s interesting, where we are at different times in our lifes…and who knows what the future will bring???

    10. Well, I feel happy for them to live a happy life now. Now there’re two families. It’s not so good to destroy both just to fulfil my humble wish which you know what it is, hoho. Life is just like that. Sometimes, you find you’re too weak to change something. You have to just go with the flow. Great job though. Thanks.

    11. Well done Pancha. To have lived and love…. Well worth all of the pain and growth, but sometimes love is not enought. Thank you. Look forward to reading more of your work.

    12. Ok this still is just SO WRONG.. I hate Leigh and Kay and Liz too.. LMAO.. I duno, I’m with B&TF I’m not buying it.. Or maybe I’m still in denialville.. Although you know when B&T were apart during the 2nd season I had no problem with that, maybe cuz I knew they will get back together in the end..

    13. Oh shit, That was torture to read I bubbled like a child, I am sorry I don’t care what anybody says Bette & Tina Belong together. I know that It does not lokk good in the show but I think that they complete each other, but there love is just buried deep and they need to discover it again. I am going to bublle more oh shit!

    14. what would happen if there new partnersleft would u bring them back together.bette and leighs relationship seems like a given because there was an attraction in s2.i dont no about tina’sblythe danner seems old fashioned maybethats what tina needed.well they seem happy.

    15. Excellent…job really well done they have moved on at a normal pace and have found a peace with each other and their respective partners…i dont have any questions, youve answered any i may have had …except one, when you started this story did you know how you were ending it or did it just go that way as the chapters kept coming? either way Thankyou ive enjoyed it even if it did hurt in places…lol

    16. I suppose it’s a good thing that there is no bitterness between the two, that they could get along, not just for Angie’s sake. B&T just CAN get along. Which is easier for everybody else, too. Oh, Pancha. Thank you for the story. I hope you got a new one coming. May we expect a Shoulda on Ep 2 next week? (I hope so.) Cheers!

    17. You’re so clever…you’re so clever…You’re so clever and witty and wise…and I never… want to see such stuff before my eyes. Again. For real, though Pancha, you’re a very good writer and this approach was so fresh, intriguing. Thanks for adding more of your work to the site. I always appreciate reading anything under your byline.

    18. Nicely done Pancha. Painful, really — and I, for one, have been down this road before but it hurt going down it this time. Hmmmm. Nice to see they’ve moved on – ok, it’s not nice to see that but you handled it beautifully. Seems to be a sad empty space hanging in the air though, why is that? Beautifully written, nice job, you smoothed down what could have been some terribly sharp edges…

    19. i’m weeks behind everyone because i was out of town–so i’ve been able to read from ch 6 on thro the story and then the interviews well written story but i ‘m very disappointed in the fact they couldn’t work things out but i also understand how it really was/is but i still just breaks my heart in the end even after the5 yrs have passed glad the found love again but they really nver tried to work it out they never sought professional help together again a good story well written and i’ll continue to read your stories i just hope there more what we all want–t & b together now i have to go compose myself so i can read other stories
