It was a sea of blue and white balloons, wall to wall, floating around. Dead center, Bette sat Indian style on a hardwood floor, a large cardboard box on her lap. The squeak of the balloons rubbing against one another drowned out the sound of a record playing backwards. The room was dark except for the spotlight shining on her. Bette looked at the box, her hands resting on top. She couldn’t move them, no matter how hard she tried.
“Open the box.” The voice of her father demanded, and suddenly, Melvin was right in front of her. He stood at least fifteen feet tall, staring down at her with wide, judgmental eyes.
Bette opened her mouth to respond, but no sound came out. She tried to do as her father told, but her hands still wouldn’t move. The rested atop the box, like deadweights.
“Don’t do it Porter. Not now.” Alice’s voice whispered, and suddenly, Alice was right next to her, sitting down, chewing on a really large piece of blue gum. It swirled around in her mouth, Bette could see. “Wait.” She chewed.
“Elizabeth, open the box this instant!” Melvin shouted, his deafening voice echoing throughout her mind.
“No wait, wait!” Alice shouted, putting her hands over Bette’s. Her voice was maniacal, her smile so wide it seemed to split her mouth at the sides. The blue gum seemed to have grown bigger. Bette stared at the bubble gum, there was a hint of some white spots, but she didn’t know what it meant. Alice’s eyes grew wide as she pointed into the black. “Okay, now.”
Suddenly, of their own accord, Bette’s hands began to work diligently, opening the box with precision. Bette stared wide-eyed as her hands opened the box and an explosion of material fell out. Something fell on her head. Finally gaining proper use of her hands, Bette pulled whatever it was off her face. She looked at it. It was a blue sweatshirt, with “YALE” printed in big, bold white lettering.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this?” Melvin shouted again, bending down to sneer at Bette. His eyes were red, his teeth gnashing.
“Uh-oh.” Alice cackled, laughing like a hyena.
Bette tossed the sweatshirt aside, pulling more from the box. Balloons, flags, bumper stickers, license plate frames, and other paraphernalia poured from the box, all with “YALE” printed on them.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG 1st brb
I remember the hamster bit but couldn’t remember what episode it was from. That dream freaked me out. It reminded me of some crazy stuff I’ve seen and felt while sleeping. If bette really wants Yale, she should talk it over with Tina and not just give it up. I hope you’re able to post more often. In the meantime I’ll continue reading classics that people have raved about while commenting on other stories.
you post it again! it’s a good thing! i really missed this B&T and crazy Alice, Bette need to talk to Tina and if she wants to be with Tina then they should think about the way to be together. Thanks for the post i hope read another chapter soon
*Sigh* Bette, you’ve got to talk to Tina. It’s not going to be pretty but you’ve got to do it…you know that pretty much summarizes how I felt about S3! Perhaps a good make-out session at Dana’s Halloween gathering (Memo to Clarity: You’re 26 years old not 80 so never ever use the word ‘gathering’ again) will open…the lines of communication… yeah, that’s it, communication. Seriously, a huge part of love is support. Therefore, Tina should love Bette enough to support her if she still wants to go to Yale. I actually had a friend who gave up his Division 1 scholarship because his girlfriend asked him to. His girlfriend broke up with him a few years ago, he regrets not following his heart and now he’s an empty shell of the man he once was…umm, forgive that dramatic but true ending. It’s a direct result of me working for a movie studio. Manda, you know that I’m addicted to your writing so I’m happy to get my “fix” whenever you can provide it. I just hope that all is well and you’re taking care of yourself. And as sure as my love for Big Brother: All Stars you will win a Fan Fic Award! Holla, Manda!
Hey! another wonderful chapter – thanks for sharing this mellifluous story. I look forward to each chapter. Hope all is well – Cheers!!!
andddd my heart totally jumped out of mah chest when i saw you posted lol! heyy manda, awesome post, nice filler. i hope everything settles for bette. I cannot wait for the party when everyone is together, good times. Well post soon, lol, but all your fans will wait for ya, don’t worry about that. Just good luck with whatever is in your life right now and hopefully you can continue to write. C-ya manda.
It is hard to let go of a dream but even harder to leave behind a loved one to achieve that dream. Bette does need to talk to Tina about this. Maybe Tina will join her at Yale. Anything can happen. Glad to see that you posted this chapter. I do like this story.
Hope Bette will tell Tina about Yale and they will talk and work thing out. OK post soon please, thanks!
I’m ecstatic to see a post from you, I’ve really missed you and this great story. I hope things are getting better for you, meanwhile just post when you can – I’ll definitely read all you’re posting!!! About this one….POOR BETTE, this is not easy stuff, but she needs to tell Tina about her lifedream Yale. Keeping this from T will only make it worse, but I’m sure you know that LOL….you just loves a little drama right??? :o)) Take care
I was so happy that Tiff referenced your story, because I ended up reading all your chapters in a swoop. I love that, being able to run through a story…now I have to wait, chapter to chapter! But anyway, I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your story and I am glad to have a new author in my favorites! Looking forward to your next post!
Good to see you back! I was thinking about this story and was wondering when you were going to post and then poof a chapter from you! Bette and Tina do need to talk. Bette can’t give up her dream of going to Yale, she will regret that decision for the rest of her life. If they are not together now then maybe later on. Post soon!
So glad you posted Manda. I love your story and I hope life gets better for you soon.
Wow, I’ve missed your story and was SO excited to see another post. Sucks when life gets in the way, doesn’t it? Anyway, I feel badly for Bette, but if she wants Yale… I think she should take it. Tough. So much simpler to move across the country when you’re single…
You’re back!! Good to be reassured that you’re not giving up on your story even though you take long between your posts, but hey! I’ll keep reading! Tina knows in the back of her mind that Bette is going to Yale, it’s going to be difficult, they have the sex issue and now Yale. Damn buddy! you have to figure out a lot of things on this story, keep it coming!
Hey Manda, Nice to see you back and posting another fabulous chapter to this awesome story. Bette’s nightmare was intense and so realistic. It gave me shivers. Magnificent! And Alice’s barbs were tactical strikes as she put Bette in her place again. Bette needs to be honest wiht Tina and then they can work it out together. Sharing is the only way to have an open and honest relationship. Trying to hide things only eats you up and worries your lover. Time to stand up and tell the truth. Can’t wait to see how that chat goes. Dana’s reluctance to explain her feelings for Lara are going to be an issue. More trauma here I feel. Thank you so much for this adorable and inspiring tale. The passion and desire between all the characters is beautifully drawn and crafted as they each wrestle with their internal thoughts and emotions and the views of the workld that is High School. Bring it on! Your Loyal Fan.
Glad to see you post Manda. Hope that you’ll be able to do it more often. Thanks for another wonderful chapter. I think Bette should have a talk with Tina about Yale before long.
i think alice should let B&T handle the Yale situation…and B&T definately need to talk
tibette should talk, and then them two should come to some agreements ..
