"T, I don’t want you to go."
Bette and Tina stood on the Porters’ front porch clinging to each other and crying out their eyes and hearts. This scene took place every summer when the Kennards would travel to North Carolina for vacation and family time. They always knew they would see each other again, but the goodbyes were still hard on them.
"I don’t wanna go either, Bette."
Sharon walked up to the girls and knelt down. "Tina, sweetheart, we gotta go," she softly said while stroking both girls’ hair.
"When are we coming home, Mommy?" Tina asked while wiping her eyes. The answer was always the same, but being so young she had no concept of time in the long run.
"We’ll be back in a week. The two of you can always call each other, okay?"
"Okay," both girls said.
Jake walked up to the girls and his wife. "Well, the car’s all packed. We need to leave now so we don’t miss our flight."
Bette and Tina hugged each other again then Tina got into the car with her parents and they headed to LAX. Tina turned around in the backseat to wave to her best friend who was waving back from the porch, both still shedding tears. Bette finally dropped her arm to her side when Tina was out of sight.
Katie had stood inside watching the scene on the porch unfold before her. She hated seeing her little sister so sad. So she decided to do what she had always done when she needed to talk or just needed a little cheering up.
Walking outside, Katie jingled her car keys and said, "Baby girl, how about we go for a Sno-Cone?"
Bette smiled while drying her eyes and nodded. She liked when her older sister wanted to spend time with her, which was becoming less and less as they grew older. Katie unlocked the car, which had once been the old junker Melvin and Jake worked on in their spare time and became her sixteenth birthday present, and off the two sisters went to enjoy their usual blue raspberry treat.
"So, Bette," Katie began as she savored a bite of her Sno-Cone, "what do you think of the name ‘Kit?’"

Oh so right, anyone would be happy to call Bette and Tina friends. Josh got what he deserved. Fighting is not right but when the shoe fits you wear it and Josh deserved that smack in the face. Not only did he disrespect Bette he terrorized the neighborhood.
Children are indeed so cruel, and certainly Josh picked that up from someone. Sometimes kids just repeat stuff they hear, but he seemed to know exactly what he was saying–how sad… Great story, Lament. Nice to know how much support and love there is all around for everyone!
Josh is already a whimp! LOL! He let Bette kick his ass and they are just kids! Girl power at it’s finest. I bet B & T are just adorable as little girls. How cute. PPS.
Glad Bette stood up for herself and didn’t run away crying. This was the 1st incident like this in her life and it certainly won’t be the last so it’s good she sticks up for herself at a young age. I have a feeling Josh will be Tina’s 1st crush and Bette will hold her feelings in because she wouldn’t want to hurt Tina. I really like this story. Keep posting Lamentamini. You ROCK!
i hope tina will find out soon that josh is an ignorant ass so she doesn’t have to find out later the hard way…love this story, B&T are so cute
I don’t like fighting but glad Bette puch Josh if she not I’ll punched him meself, what a jerk. B&T are so cute and sweet and nice to Ashley girl. The parents is sweet and cute. I agree with gogk and can’t wait to see whats next, thanks!!!!!!!!!
I can just see this Josh thing coming back in like, high school, and this being a big ball of angst. Anyhow, I like this story, keep it up.
Ooh I love this, I always want more! Grrr. So you need to update, I love it. So write on please!
It’s a terrible thing to say what Josh said I admit it. But it happens all the time even non-racists as I listen to jokes about black people, moslims, gay people, blond people and so on and so on. It’s in our nature to categorise and put people in boxes. If all people just looked exactly the same, we still would find something to categorise. It’s like Pete Seeger said it so many years ago in his song ‘Little Boxes’. Sorry for my rant but I really like this story and where it is heading too. Can’t hardly wait for the next chapter.
Oh no… don’t let Josh becoming Tina first bf… or even the first one to kiss Tina…. hahahha… am I going way too ahead? ;)
Love this story Lament… they are so cute… i could just see themas 5 year olds… 3 weeks till the convention… can’t wait… later babe
welcome back…..i love this story. It is so well written.Glad to see Bette and Tina are making friends with the shy girl Ashley. I thought it would be Alice at first…hehe. anyway, will there be a romance between ashley and one of our girls? hmmm. PPS.
SOOOOOO glad you are back posting this story i live it, please post more soon.
Great Lament’!!! So glad the connection with ‘Rock Me Gently’ was finally made! You did it, buddy! And please no, no romance between Ashley and one of the girls… I guess I could tolerate Tina trying it out with boys but I’m still wishing that you’ll stay in line with RMG, cause that’s so sweet and those two belong together! Thanks!
How cute an alpha-baby Bette, not that i condone violence :) but can understand the nature of children to express their feeling either verbally or physically. I sense a coming change in the dynamic of B&T friendship at this new stage in their lives. Maybe a little baby-drama :D
I’m too busy right now to picture them with their little bagpacks but when I finally do I know they’ll look adorable.
like nzgrl said i would have punched Josh too! it’s a shame that persons said those things to others and it’s because this boy listened those words from the old people in his home. I like it B&T frienship! i hope Tina won’t be hurt by Josh cause i will run and help Bette to kick that boy! well done lament!
I would have punched Josh too. Tina and Bette are very caring Ashley’s a lucky girl.
Yeah, I woulda clocked Josh, too. More. Soon. Please. :)
Pls never stop writing this brilliant story… Is Josh almost about to give Tina her ‘pet rock’ now then? I don’t like the fact that that little obnoxious kid might be able to get between my girls! Love this story lament! Its great to be back!
Oh oh I see the drama now, somebody is going to fall for Ms. Ashley there but who??this is the cutest little thing I’ve read
