    A New York Minute

    Bette carefully covered the glass plated pictured with a sheer bubble wrap.  She  propped it up against the wall and crossed her arms.  Sighing, she started to take down the entire collection off the wall.  She wondered if it was worth it – auctioning off her prized collection of originals to make ends meet.  She thought about just giving in and taking the next job offered.  After all, she did have a child to support.  It wasn’t all about herself anymore.  She knew this; it was just so hard to accept it.

    Hearing the front door open, Bette quickly turned around.  Tina walked in, dressed in a smart pant suit and heels.  She dropped her purse and spotted Bette in the other room.  She saw Bette take the pictures off the wall and didn’t understand what she was doing.  But instead of asking, she pretended as if she didn’t care.

    “Where’s Angelica?”

    “With Angus.”  Bette climbed down off the stool.

    Tina looked at her watch.  “Isn’t it time for her to be back now?”

    “I guess so.  But he was planning on hanging out with Kit at the Planet.  Maybe they lost track of time.”

    Tina watched Bette curiously.  “Great.  Now we’ll probably owe him more money.”

    “Is that all you think about?”

    “Someone has to.”  Tina sighed and walked into the kitchen to start dinner.

    “Tina I am not having this conversation with you again.”  Bette finished with the other pictures.

    “I didn’t ask you to.”

    “Aren’t you at all curious as to what I’m doing with this collection?”

    Tina shrugged and looked away.

    “I happen to be selling it.”

    Tina spun around to be sure Bette wasn’t joking.  When she saw that she wasn’t, she turned back around.  “Good.  Maybe we can get some extra money around here.”

    Bette stared at Tina’s back, too shocked to speak.  She walked away and headed to the bedroom.  Tina stared at the floor and closed her eyes.  Had she really just said that?  What was causing her to say such hateful things lately?  She didn’t want Bette to sell her favorite pictures.  They weren’t that destitute.  Tina’s heart ached for many reasons all at once causing her to grip the counter tightly in case she fell over.  She heard the phone ring.

    1. Part of me really wants it to work out this way, and another part of me (the angry part), wants Bette to kick Tina to the curb. Thanks for your version.

    2. Well, at least there some affection in this version. However they still don’t talk. Tina never says why she didn’t want Bette to sell the collection, why couldn’t she just say babe we’re not that desperate, thanks for the gesture, but let’s wait. Also I don’t quite buy Bette just saying I trust you judgment and I’ll support your decision, not without some additional dialog. In short their roll in the hey wasn’t the only NY minute in this one. Thanks for the sharing you talent.

    3. What’s sad is on the show Tina probably won’t even notice the prints are gone till maybe 2 days later. At least here we got some kissing and a grope. But otherwise, can you say “dysfunctional?” :(

    4. Great post fareast. Wonderful for them to be able to re-connect and and stop snipping at each other. Hope IC lets this happen on the show. (When hell freezes over perhaps). Thanks for the post. Will you continue this or is this all? We hope you will continue.

    5. i want to no if bette will sleep withthe senator she and tina argued beforebette left. i hope she does because ourgirl bette needs some loving. and this could be a stretch when bette gets backtina apoligizes for being such a ass andasks bette to make love to her,bette says no i had a long day i need sleeptina would be so pissed but it would serve her right.

    6. OMG…I just woke up, this chapter was just a dream!!! LOL…great chapter, but do we really think something like this will happen this season??? Episode 12 or 13???

    7. fareast, great chapter, i just watched episode 3.. was not as bad as I was anticipating, but i know it is only going to get worse, So i hope you will keep doing these **revisionist** of what could have happened on the show if they wanted it go that way :P long live FF!!

    8. At least in your version Tina still likes Bette. Can anybody explain to me what happened to the severance package Bette got from CAC? Did she inherit nothing from dear old Mel? I know West Hollywood’s got to be expensive, but really! Think Kit and Mangus could bond over the brat overnight?

    9. Fareast, So tender and touching. Please can we get some of these sentiments back between Bette and TIna. I know that everything cannot always be fabulous but just a little loving, a little time to show you care, a little gesture to prove your love is all I request. Thank you for this story as it fills that little space with love. Your Loyal Fan.

    10. This chapter is as episode 3 should have been. God, my heart is breaking for Bette this season. I love your writing and look forward to more ‘as it should be’ chapters.
