Pick-up Styx
Tina at the Planet
chapter 3
Tina walked into the Planet and saw Shane and Alice sitting at their favorite table.
“May I join you?” Tina asked.
They courteously assented and Tina sat down, but she knew that they preferred not to be with her. She tried to make small talk, but Shane and Alice were loath to volunteer much about themselves or anything.
Tina had broken up with Henry, but was still treating Bette shabbily, they thought. As long as she kept Angelica away from Bette, they would never be Tina’s friends.
“I keep expecting Dana to walk in,” Tina sighed as she looked around the room. “I miss her.”
Shane could feel angry heat rising from Alice and gently put her foot on top of one of Alice’s feet.
“We miss a lot of things,” said Shane.
“I hear you’re dating a veterinarian,” Tina said and winked at Alice.
Alice was astounded at both the fact that Tina knew about the vet and that she gave such a conspiratorial lesbian wink.
“Tell me about her,” Tina continued.
The last thing Alice wanted to do was to talk to Tina about anything personal in her life or Tina’s life.
“She’s nice,” Alice allowed. “How’s the studio?”
Tina knew that she had been cut off and that Alice was not going to discuss her personal life. So she might as well get to the reason she came.
“Has anyone seen Bette?” Tina asked.
Shane and Alice shook their heads, but both Alice and Tina sensed that Shane knew more than she was saying.
“Well, I’d like to talk to her…about Angelica.”
They looked at her curiously, but remained silent.
“She’s not answering her home phone or her cell phone. I’ve left messages.”
“I went by the house and it was locked and dark. She must have had the locks changed because I couldn’t get it.”
Al and Shane seemed particularly interested in the coffee they were drinking.
“She’s out of town”
They all looked up and saw Kit who had just spoken to Tina.
“Would you join us,” suggested Tina hopefully.
“If she wants to answer your phone messages, she will. Otherwise, just leave her alone.”
“She took Angelica; she kidnapped her and all of you blame me for keeping Angie from her.”

This work of yours continues to be great! And it’s real…I liked how you talked about at first Tina had enjoyed the sex but then she needed more and Henry wasn’t enough and then compared it to not so great sex with Bette and Tina…very realistic…Loved the groups reactions to Tina…and I kinda forgot where Bette was in the beginning…hahahahahha then I remembered!
COKEHEAD ALERT! Okay so, Tina wanted to talk to Bette about Angelica. That part I understand. But then when Kit tells Tina to leave her alone she’s all, “But Bette kidnapped her! It’s her fault! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Basically the stuff that makes stupidly funny youtube videos. I had a major case of deja vu when Tina’s sex life with Henry *gag, barf* was described. It’s like I had a bad dream about it or something and just now saw it in print. I don’t know. But yeah, I repeat, COKEHEAD ALERT! Sorry to hear about the storm. Hope you can post again soon.
It’s good to have the option of showing fave authors, I missed the first two chapters, I should’ve taken it as a sign but my admiration for your approach of the story beats my Tibetter heart. *Sighs deeply* I’m more a Bette’s than Tina’s but Pancha this chapter was intense, poor Tina.
Lamentamini, I’m baffled by your cokehead alert. At least coke, either bottled or powdered, provides SOME stilmulation. Perhaps you meant cockhead? And let’s be fair, all men are not the insensate dunderheads that Henry proved to be. But in any case, it seems that what Tina needs is Bette. She may find it’s easier to burn bridges than to build them. Especially without someone on the other side willing to meet you halfway. Here’s hoping Tina doesn’t dangle Angelica as an inducement to Bette the way Michael Jackson flashed his kid to entice his fans. Glad the internet is yours to surf again, pancha.
Well, we all know where Bette is don’t we? And Tina may well have left it too late. I don’t think I’d turn the Senator down a second time.
Regret, its a double-edges sword..hurts either way! Too real Pancha. Thanks.
And when I said it was Michael Jackson’s kid, I meant it in the most generous way possible. I suspect his contribution was more monetary than genetic.
Yeah now what Pancha???…..I’m excited to see where you’re taking this. Post soon….
Pancha…thanks for the update…can’t wait to hear how Bette is making out (let’s hope she is making out) in New England…don’t keep us waiting too long!
now what pancha?
Okay…what does Tina mean…Now What?…she made her choice …her choice was Henry…to hell with Bette. She can’t treat Bette like a toy and put her up on the shelf and take her down when she’s ready to play. I may have to look back on this story but did Bette move away? I don’t blame Alice and Shane for not warmly embracing Tina, Tina was wronged the 1st time this time she was clearly in the wrong. Let her sweat it out for awhile I say. Love the writing…I am truly a pancha fan!
Sigh…we don’t know if those aren’t Michael’s biological children…and does it matter? He loves them. If they aren’t look at the stupid mother who gave them away. Can’t we just see him for the musical genius he is and all the contributions he has done to aid needy people? Until they actually show him doing whatever whatever I will be a fan…as for the dangling of the child…yeah off the wall but he isn’t the first star to do something crazy while caught up in the moment….don’t mean to go off on a tangent I am just a fan. I had something else to say abput this story but damn I forgot what it was….lol
As always it’s good to see a post from you.
Oh that a wall would fall on tina, and maybe that would knock the delusions of grandeur or that the world revolves around her, out of her. I had forgotten where Bette was, and I love that she is in New England with the Senator, and I hope gonna be WITH the Senator soon!!! I don;t understand why anyone would think that Bette should ever in a million years ever even think of wanting Tina back…why would she be such a masochist?? Sky, you think MJ dangling his kid over the balcony was just off the wall?? The man is a menace to kids, it has been proven that he is inappropriate with them.
Skycaptain, I’ll grant you the talent. MJ and I are the same age so I grew up with the Jackson 5 and he’s had an amazing career ever since. That the may or may not be his genetically makes no difference what so ever. But they seem like a rich man’s indulgence, more a collection than a family. Given his freakish self-mutilation over the years and the MANY instances of buying the affection of children if not the children themselves, I have a hard time believing that MJ has ANY concept of love, for children or himself.
Wow! Tina left Henry a note??? Wow that’s crude! I mean, if you’re sneaking off in the middle of the day while they’re at work, why leave a note? You don’t think they’ll figure out that you and all your stuff is gone? LOL! Well, duuuuhhh Henry may not have figured it out…good thing she did leave a note! LOL!!!!
Yeah, I agree with you. When Bette finally got over Tina, what’d Tina be left with? An empty and boring life, I guess. I’m still worried about your first claim. I still want to see a TiBette ending. :D
Pride is a hard thing to to put behind you and got forward. Tina is try to do this.but she might be a little to late, Barbara Grisham is one beautiful woman.Be hard to past that over. Tina has a hard road to hoe to get Bette back. Love this.post soon. thanks
Well, Tina is all alone. Maybe she just might get how Bette felt. But I am most likely wrong. Great Update Thank you PPS
Great as usual, pancha. As far as Tina goes….Ya snooze, ya lose. I love Bette w/the Senator and I am a huge TiBetter but BaBe or BaBette has a nice ring to it. This time Bette is in control of the outcome of her personal life. However, we all know that Tina is Bette’s drug of choice and/or her kryptonite.
for some reason i don’t feel sorry for this tina and i’m a tibetter for life, still sad though how life turns sometimes and not the way you expect it
well 1st we all make mistakes…and Bette & Tina have made their share…now I love DD/The senator but from the last chapter Bette is not smacked in the face with Barbara like she was/is with the ‘T’ so I’m picking Bette may go for some ready-relief but the buckleys (love) is for Tina…I don’t know where you’re going but I’ll be checking in for the ride…PPS
Tina you’re late Bette is with Senator and don’t know when she come back. If she going to get Bette back (hope not too late) she have to work hard and do everything to win Bette back because her competitor is Senator and this is a big fight and let see how she gonna do when she know Bette is out of town and with Senator. OK post soon please, thanks!
“But now what?” I’ll tell you what….Do you hear that puckering noise, Tina? THat’s you getting ready to kiss alot of ASS! Not just kissing Bette’s ass, but all your friends too! And you know what? It’s about damn time! You’ve been making Bette suffer since the Carpenter. Payback is a bitch….suck it up. Great chap pancha305. PPS.
Tina is suffering all the consequences of her insanity! but if she want to try to fix, she need to start now and stop to be stubborn!
Excellent chapter Pancha. Oh god Tina!! My poor Tina, Just move Away Tina. As a Tina fan, Iam tired of seeing her in pain and stuggling within herself to find inner peace in fics. I hope this is not one of those fics where all Tina does is eat Poopy Shi8t for her mistakes. I’m happy that she’s thinking about letting Bette see angie again. After that..i hope Tina moves away for her own good.No one wantes her around:( That’s the only way B&T can stay away from eachother. Move Tina.No more suffering for Tina’s all i’m asking in this fic! Post soon Pancha.
As much as I love Tina she is beginning to sound like a broken record why oh why does she always bring up but “Bette kidnapped Angelica”….yes, what Bette did was so so wrong but to not let Bette see Angelica is just cruel, IMO. Bette has slowly moved on, Tina found Henry boring, she left him a note, nice touch Tina…no courage at all why couldn’t you tell Henry to his face that it was over. Running away again, not good.Nice touch that Bette changed the locks to the house, not surprised Tina showed up at the house looking for Bette, I really hope Tina is not going to use Angelica as a carrot so to speak and dangle her in front of Bette, if Tina wants to give Bette access to Angelica she showed without hesitation,(T&B are over in my opinion) and why oh why should it be now nearly six months down the line. IMO, she is alone, she misses Bette and the gang she misses the life that she once had. Do I want to see Bette and Tina back together in your story, NO! Interested in how you are going to tell the Barbara story line, now I would imagine that she is still in the closet and only a few people possible know that she is gay. I really can see Bette and Barbara falling for each other. Will Barbara step out and declare her love for Bette, I hope so. On a site note: I really hope that Tina is able to find peace with herself, and through time will indeed fall in love again, but I don’t see it with Bette, just putting my cards on the table now. :) Thank you and hope you are well pancha.
This is great! Poor Tina–she has to suffer the negative consequences of her decision, and boy, is she suffering! She shouldn’t have been so short-sighted. So cruel denying Bette access to Angelica. Now, out of nowhere she comes along looking for Bette? I am a hard-core TiBetter as well, but as M99 and others said, in your fantastic story, they should not reconcile. Tina doesn’t deserve it for as shabbily as she’s treated Bette. The girls are right in how they gave her the cold shoulder. It’s all painful, and all real. Let’s hope we see the Senator giving Bette the space she needs and the chance to feel really appreciated, respected, and–well, loved might not fit at this point, but I wouldn’t mind seeing that hot sex we were denied the first time they met! PPS
Well,well, Miss Tina, walk a mile in Bette’s shoes. I know Bette hurt she when cheated but damn she groveled and begged for forgivness. Now Tina, pad your knees and start crawling.
