    Angel Fire – 1

    Angel Fire
    High school graduation
    chapter 1

    The graduates marched down the aisle of the high school auditorium to the very traditional recorded sound of Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance. Their gowns were black with gold trim and their faces were bright and full of the future. One was Angelica Porter-Kennard, the 18-year-old daughter Bette Porter and Tina Kennard. If pride was measured in light intensity, Bette and Tina would have been shining like klieg lights.

    It was a small private high school that was academically very traditional which was what Tina liked. However, it was also structured so that students had more than adequate time to pursue other training such as in the arts; that was the part that Bette liked. Angel had studied painting, sculpture, drama, music and creative writing as well as traditional courses.

    —Tina looked at Bette who was watching Angie and took Bette’s hand.

    Bette

    Eighteen years. Hard to believe. It seems like last week that I saw her for the first time, on the sonogram. She waved at us as though she was acknowledging her moms. I know she won’t wave at us tonight, but I hope she can at least make eye contact. That would mean so much to Tina.

    She reminds me so much of Tina…her nose, her mouth, her smile. Her eyes are dark, but have Tina’s softness. She has the same way of frowning and blinking her eyes when she is bothered by something. She also cocks her head and shoulders to one side…just like Tina. But she kind of stomps when she walks; that isn’t like Tina at all.

    Angel’s planning to attend Tina’s alma mater at the University of Southern California, located right here in Los Angeles. Well, Tina’s happy about that, but I wish she were going to Yale. Angie wants to do something in film and thought USC would be better. I told her that if Yale was good enough for Meryl Streep, it should be good enough for her. That, of course, made no impression, but made me feel better that I had said it.

    I’m sure she has much more talent for art than for film, but doesn’t want to pursue it for some reason. She did promise, however, that she would take some applied art courses. I think she has talent, but have tried not to push her.

    1. Welcome back pancha, you’ve been missed. Such a nice, rich start. You’ve portrayed Bette and Tina with a few telling details, making them familiar and believible as individuals and as a long term couple. I loved Bette’s issues with wanting to help with Angelica’s speech. Ego and love all rolled into one.

    2. Welcome back, Seen you had posted Stopped watchong NY and Rangers to read. Bette and Tina are still in love and shows it. Angie is a beautiful young lady. Hope Tina is not to up set that she likes girls, thanks

    3. Are these the Bette and Tina of ‘What Is Love?’, all grown up and with a daughter? Or, is this the standard-issue B&T from the woebegone TLW? Whichever, I know you will do right by them. Thank you for keeping them together for the duration of Angie’s childhood!

    4. Just last night I was wondering when you would post again. Must have been ESP. Standard issue B&T, continuation of a previous story, new B&T, I don’t care. I you write it I know I will love it. Thanks!!

    5. Any story that you write with B and T is good. You treat them the way that most of us like to see. And damn straight or whatever about those graduations. I have been in three myself and wanted either a drink or wanted to go to sleep (that was the last one). The High School one was pretty fun because I never thought that I was going to make it. The college one was cool because adult beverages were making their way around the isles. The last one, just get me the hell out of here so I can take a nap. Thanks for returning to us with this wonderful family.

    6. Pancha, is that you(said as Clarity rubs her eyes to make sure this isn’t an apparition while praying that S3 was)? Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing again. You definitely should continue this story.

    7. 10 stars mate… what a great start. great to see that our girls can still be so in love and still have a laugh after all the years together.

    8. YAY! Glad to see you writing again. I guess I’m right in assuming this is the same B&T from “What is Love?” Regardless, it’s great that they are still very much in love after all these years.

    9. PAncha, Wonderful to see you back on the site and this tantalizing trailer of a first chapter is magnificent. I love the way you manage to keep true to the Bette and Tina that I adore. Can’t wait to see what adventures are instore for all the gals. Bring it on!!! And make it real soon. Your Loyal fan.PS – “It’s a gift” is how I feel about your writing – simply breathtaking.

    10. So glad you’re back with us. I hope you’ll post more often. Heartwarming story, Angie is a smart girl, she seems to know how to ‘work’ her two moms??

    11. So great to see you posting a new story pancha!!! I’ve missed your writing and wish you could have made it to S.F. Looking forward to the next chapter. : )
