    Author Notes:

    So what are you going to do now?

    Bette glanced behind her at the restaurant, where friends were seated at a table, laughing at Lara’s account of Alice’s latest run-in with a traffic enforcer, and smiled. Through thick and thin, her friends could be counted on. She made her way to the garden, hoping for some peace and quiet. Once far from the crowds, she then drew out her cellphone, dialing a very familiar number.

    The answer came on the third ring.

    "Hello?"

    "T."

    Pause.

    "Tina?" Bette asked, wondering if she’d somehow magically dialled the wrong number.

    "Bette. Hi." Tina hesitated. Had she not been clear about her "very busy" workload?

    "I wish you were here," Bette told Tina, finally breaking the silence.

    "Oh, honey, I know." Tina replied.

    "Can’t you be here?" Bette insisted.

    "I promise I’ll hijack you into telling me all about it when you get back from your vacation." Tina reassured her. "But right now I’m really swamped at work."

    At Tina’s end of the line, Bette could hear wry laughter. "Helena’s there?"

    "She’s here, yes." Tina replied. "Mocking me. Hold on." Tina didn’t even cover the mouthpiece, as Bette could hear the next few lines exchanged:

    "Go. Away." Tina told the British woman.

    "But it’s funny!" Was the protest.

    "Go." Tina hissed, and Bette guessed Helena obeyed, because she was soon back on the line. "Hi."

    "Come on." Bette immediately resumed her earlier plea. "Helena and Angelica are coming in two days, can’t you come with them?"

    "Bette, I told you, I have things to finish. And I have an appointment in two days, so…"

    "It’s not like you’re going to another continent," Bette pointed out.

    "I know, but I already had stuff planned out." Tina said.

    Bette narrowed her eyes, something about Tina’s tone telling her that something was off, but chose to ignore it.

    "But if I somehow magically clear up my workload, I will try to be there." Tina assured her. "How’s that?"

    "It helps a little," Bette admitted, amused that Tina would use the same ‘magical’ adjective, as she had earlier.

    "Well, it’s all I can do." Tina replied. "Call me when you get back."

    "First thing." Bette promised.

    "Okay. ‘Bye, B."

    2. gotto love Alice and her quick remarks about Tina. Thanks for the long post, tiff. So this’s the LAST chapter last chapter?? It will be great if you could continue but i can see how this ends though. Sorry you didnt win an award this round. i voted for you but competition was tough. Have a wonderful vacation and christmas. Be back soon :)

    3. I don’t understand popular sentiment. …let’s just leave it at that, okay? Thank you for your continued devotion to depicting the love story of B&T.

    5. Tiff you are a WINNER in my book. Your stories are always fun and exciting to read. It can be sad but I always know that B&T love each other enough to make it work. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THAT FORMULA. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season.

    8. Who *could* wait around, after marriage, to gauge how much their wife loved them? Forever’s a long time to not be loved the way you want to be. I’m sorry for the two of them — no, the four of them — but being “not quite” isn’t good enough, for any of them. Good chapter tiff, enjoy the vacation, and post when you can. Happy Holidays!

    9. Hiatus, he he. Well I can hardly blame Julia or Helena, who’d want to be the second banana in an non-vaudeville arean? At least in vaudelville you got paid. And this wouldn’t have paid for either of them. Now how are the thick skulls of the protagonists to be penetrated with what is obvious to the rest of the world?

    11. Tiff…your absolutely brilliant, and just because you don’t have as many ongoing stories or post as often, never doubt that you are a great Tibette fanfic writer that is loved and missed when gone…Thankyou for what you do give us, although never ever enough, it’s better than nothing at all….Thankyou for this latest piece of brilliance.

    14. I concur with Techgal, as I don’t really understand popular sentiment either. Your stories are very engaging and well written. And is this the last chapter? I had to read the author’s note again and I think that is what you were saying but I’m choosing to not believe it. Anyway, have a nice vacation but don’t make you own hiatus as long and B & T.

    15. Happy holidays to you as well! My goodness Tiff! You sure can write! It oozes out of you so sweetly and reads so smoothly that it’s impossible to stop until you reach the very end…which is where I am. Here’s hoping that you ooze more…and soon…just like the pen on your Fan Fiction Award!

    17. Dear Tiff, you deserve your own special award: Best B&T in Orbit (* around each other) Your writing gives us a clear view why these two never quite leave each other’s sphere of influence. Thanks for writing it.

    19. I don’t write comments too often ,but I have read everything you have written. You do have this natural talent…I’m always drawn in. This story is no different. I hope you meant that this chapter was the last before your vacation. I want more. You are one of my favorite writers, and I did vote for you……next time girl. Happy Holidays!

    20. Tiff…You’re a brilliant writer. Your stories are always spot on. I hope that you will reconsider after you’ve had some vacation time. Sometimes it’s quantity that seems to count, eh?

    21. I just have to quote Honda90 because she said it so eloquently……….”Tiff…your absolutely brilliant, and just because you don’t have as many ongoing stories or post as often, never doubt that you are a great Tibette fanfic writer that is loved and missed when gone…Thankyou for what you do give us, although never ever enough, it’s better than nothing at all….Thankyou for this latest piece of brilliance.”

    23. hiatus LOL…that’s what i would call it too…this is a brilliant story, sorry you didn’t win any awards because i think you sooo deserve it….i love this story more than i can comment and i now i will have a very merry x-mas, and the same i wish to you :)

    24. I absolutely adore your stories tiff and this one is no exception. The way you write your characters is simply amazing. I wish you and/or your story had won an award – I voted for ya. Keep up the good work.

    26. It was interesting to get a glimpse of Julia. The reason she broke up with Bette was probably the reason Bette let herself fall in love with her in the first place. I hope this isn’t the end, end because I would love to see how the work their stuff out. Plus, we need a good quality roll in the sand after they do. While I congratulate all the Fan Fic winners, I think you are most deserving as well. So, I award you the first ever Fan Fic Candy Cane Award. Congratulations.

    27. Brilliant as usual. I must say, I was shocked that you did not win any of the awards. In my book, you should have gotten the best author award! I loved the beginning of this chapter. I really like it when I have to start reading a chapter over because it didn’t go in the direction I thought it was. Thanks for you effort in this story. Enjoy your holiday!

    28. Thank you for continuing to write and share your awesome stories. Every chapter is intelligent, thoughtful, insightful and so damn funny! Can’t wait to read what’s next….

    29. Hurts so good. I like Helena, actually, but I’m happy, I think a lot for her sake, that she decided she needed to move on. And gee, look who was right there, one Ms. Bette Porter. “I don’t think you two have a shot at an ending.” I have to say, I think that’s pretty much how I’ll always think of Bette and TK, hence why I always, Always, ALWAYS hold out for a happy ending. Bring it, I ADORE this story.

    32. I love this story and I love your writing. Can’t wait for the next post, hope you had a wonderful vacation and look forward to your first post of 2007.

    36. Hey Tiff… I’m with pattifloatn – you’re a winner and one of the most amazing writers on this site. I’m always excited when I see that you’ve posted. I love this story – Hiatus, ain’t that the truth! Have a great vacation.

    37. tiff – I think this has been a wonderful story and I’m just hoping there is at least one more chapter to go – you know, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. It’s been a wonderful ride. Have a great Christmas.

    39. oh my fawking god…have u lived this cuz this T and B relationship, this ‘hiatus’ is so familiar to me!!! and u’ve got it down to a ‘T’…for one horrifc moment I thought you were gonna stop at page 4 but u were kind!!!!!Please post as soon as u can…U R JUST TOO GOOD!!!!!!!

    42. well- sadly my votes did not pay off as your name would have been listed with the other winners if they had. oh well- i hope the results are not a deterrent to your updates and please know how much i certainly appreciate your efforts. Happy Holidays and am looking forward to more as usual!

    45. This can’t be the last chappy? You are just gettin it exciting for T&B.I luv your stories and you are an excellent writer.So many authors deserved awards including yourself.Please don’t ever stop writing. YOU ARE GOOD!

    47. First and foremost Happy Holidays. Secondly,You are still one of the best authors here. If this is the final chapter than I am left to guess that B and T just accept the fact that they are stuck together
