Bette was treating the gang to a cookout around her pool and they had just finished the hamburgers.
“Is it time for my dessert?” Lara asked.
Cheers went up from the crowd because the young chef was particularly good with pastries.
“Is there enough for us?”
Everyone by the pool turned toward the street entry and saw…Helena and Tina.
Pick-up Styx
Party Crashers
chapter 9
Poolside
“We were just driving by, saw the cars and thought we would crash the party,” Tina said grinning, as though everything was perfectly all right.
For a moment there was silence as though the air had been sucked out of the area around the pool. The silence was offset by the music from Bette’s speakers on the patio.
Tina walked casually over to Bette who was standing by the grill.
“Those speakers were really a good addition, weren’t they,” Tina said, recalling the time when she and Bette had gone shopping seriously for the speakers that could fit with their sound system but could be used by the pool.
“I have some extra burgers that I’ve been keeping warm here. Would you and Helena like one?”
Tina and Helena built hamburgers as Lara and Kit and Bette went into the house into the house for the dessert and the wine that would accompany it.
“Did you tell either of them about the party?” Kit asked.
“Absolutely not,” Bette answered. “Kit, please behave.”
“Well,” said her sister. “At least she ought to cover her tits. They’re hanging pretty well out of that blouse.”
…………………………….
“Alice, how are you?” Helena asked.
Alice introduced Helena to Kelly and they all chatted. Kelly understood that this was very uncomfortable and kept a watchful eye on Alice. Al tried to be pleasant because Helena had been nice to her.
Tina joined Shane and Jenny and tried to make small talk with them. She was not too successful as neither young woman responded with much more than monosyllabic comments.
“Good,” Shane had answered Tina’s question to how her hairdressing business was going.
“Yes,” Jenny had said when Tina had asked if she were still busy writing.
Tina wanted to be friends again with all these women, but they had built walls that they did not allow her to penetrate. Maybe they would be friendlier to her when they knew she was going to share custody with Bette.

Nice. Very nice. I am enjoying this so much.
Ok what game is Tina playing. I always love your fics, so I of course love this! I always get so giddy when I see an update from you! Can’t wait for more!
What is tina playing at? Why do I feel happy and giddy to see that she is being giving the cold shoulder?
so what game is Tina playing? i wonder….but it really doesn’t seem to matter in this story, because Bette has obviously moved…great progression. PPS
The gang, especially Kit, were certainly in protect mode! Not sure what Tina is up to! Loving this story, pancha–look forward to seeing what happens at the proceedings!
“We were just driving by, saw the cars and thought we would crash the party” WTF…surely she jokes…lol…what purpose would she have to drive by? I think she wanted to see what Bette’s plans were when she told her she couldn’t have dinner with her friday night….and why did she have to talk to Bette about her choices in remodeling? What is Tina trying to pull? I am a Tibetter but I was so hoping the Senator would show up…I see the gang is very protective of Bette…that is a good thing. Keep posting.
Glad the gang’s there to protect Bette. Why am I so wary of this Tina? Wow… anyway, good stuff!
I will read easier once you depict the scene of Angelica back in Bette’s arms, sans drama from Tina. I wonder what will happen once she finds out about the senator? Thanks!
Loved Kit and Kelly’s comments about Tina’s blouse!
Tina’s game is seeing how many commenters she can get to ask what her game is. ;) So yeah that was awkward but a person with half a brain could figure that out. I think I’m part of that group especially right now because I’m so tired. My comment is poopy, but the story isn’t and that is the important thing.
don’t let tina find out about the senator until after she’s signed those papers…
pancha…You’re doing a tremendous job w/this story. I am really enjoying this. What tricks does Tina have up her sleeve?? If Bette doesn’t agree to her advances will Tina renege on the adoption plans? Can’t wait for Sen. Barbara to show up.
OH Dear,that was a toughie. All I see is Tina trying to be nice to Bette and the framily, making amends somehow. Sadly she’s getting the brutal cold shoulder from everyobe:( I’m sure she knows she fucked up really badly.She’s trying,prolly too late. But the thing is,I wish she’d get the message. Her friends aren’t hers anymore.They simply don’t give a shit. She needs to stop crashing in, and embarrasing herself! To spare myself more grief,since i am a Tina lover, She just needs to move away not too far so Angie could see Mommy B. To make her out to be a villian in this story is pointless and tedious,(although TiBette drama is fun), this tina is simply creeping me out with her nosiness. POst soon Pancha. Everyone’s hooked.
Pancha, you are doing such a Great job with this story. I anm glad the gang was there to help Bette out. Please do not let Tina find out about the Sentor until the papers are signed. Thank you PPS
I am really loving this story – and I would love to see you kick Tinas arse. Keep her away from Bette and let Bette find a new path with the senator. She deserves so much more than Tinas changing moods and hideous behaviour.
I love your writing, the only bad thing about this story is that this isn’t a happy B&T story, but I’ve accepted that :o)) Post soon please….oh by the way, I think the gang and Kit should ‘grow’ up. Bette is a woman who can take care of herself and what can Tina do, eat her LOL.
I feel like swimming against the current today so here goes. Personally I feel that ultimately this new and improved Bette will be the prize one of these women deserve. Now I can’t help but feel Tina has more obstacles in her path since and correct me if I’m wrong you can’t stand her. She did break Bette’s heart afterall. Eventually it will be which woman is willing to change risk it all be the woman that can do right by Bette. Nice, looking forward to it.
Sneaking in a late post pancha? OK, I’ll sneak in an early read. Unless Tina has a brain made of concrete, she should be getting the idea that she isn’t all that welcome but her former ‘family’. Perhaps if she works really, really hard, she’ll figure out why. I can certainly understand why Bette remodeled/redecorated, but she may want to go to a queen size should the russet Senator come for a visit.
I agree, shud of made the senator show up!, they way Tina and Helena, would just take themselves, and leave quietly. * roll eyes* I swear dwn if Tina gon carry on stink like this in s4, it really will be a love/strong dislike relationship I will have wid her.
Really enjoying this story. Good to see Bette so calm and confident, like the Senator. She’s been a great infuence on Bette and I hope it continues. These two are hot together and Bette needs someone like Barbara, someone at her level.
Tina should have the decency she had when she found out about the affair and find herself a new life and Bette should have a get away for the weekend with the Senator like she had planned. PS to Tina: You fucked up woman
i love this story.. please post again soon…
What is Tina doing now and hope not bring the drama. OK post soon please, thanks!
Okay tell me what is Tina up to? Shane and Alice would be the first to help Tina,but they love Bette and dont want her hurt. thanks
Okay ‘grow up’ isn’t the right words, but I think the gang needs to back off a bit. I know they’re only protecting Bette, but still…..it would be great for Angel if her moms could be friends somehow.
