Previously…
“It’s not just about the call, Tina.” Kate sighed deeply and averted her eyes from Tina’s. “You’ve been up front about your reservations from the beginning, and I just kept hoping you’d get over them.” Kate turned back towards Tina’s, allowing their eyes to lock. “It’s obvious you’re not going to.”
“That wasn’t what it sounded like.” Tina persisted, not really sure why she was even arguing. “She was just asking what to say to Jodi.”
“I wasn’t born yesterday, Tina.” Kate challenged, anger beginning to set into her tone. “You may have been telling Bette what to say to that woman, but it’s obvious, at least to me, that you also feel that way towards her.” Kate took another step backwards and shook her head, trying to dislodge the long locks that had blown over her face. “I won’t be made a fool of, Tina, and that’s exactly what will happen if we keep doing this.”
“Hi, Kate.” Alice called out to the agitated-looking director as their paths were about to cross in the large, circular drive of Katherine’s beach house. “Bye, Kate.” She added as the dark-haired director averted her eyes and brushed quickly by the blonde. Alice shrugged her shoulders and wrinkled her brow. “I wonder what that was about.” She mumbled under her breath as she stepped onto the sand, heading in the direction of the party.
Alice scanned the group of women sitting around the campfire, quickly noting that Tasha wasn’t among them. Her eyes began to roam the endless expanse of sand in search of her girlfriend, but stopped unexpectedly when they found a familiar figure sitting on the beach, shoulders visibly shaking.
“Tina?” Alice queried as she approached the silhouette. “Tina, are you okay?”
Alice sat down on the sand next to her friend and silently wrapped an arm around her still-quivering shoulders. After a few moments, Tina’s tears began to subside, and she used the back of her hand to wipe them away from her cheeks.
“Hey, Al.” She whispered in between sniffles. “Sorry.” She tried to force a smile through the lingering tears.

I’m surprised Alice didn’t knock on Tina’s head and ask if anyone was home in there. lol
GO ALICE!!! I love that her big mouth is actually doing some good here! It’s about time someone helps the communication between these two, tells it like it is, and gets them back together! Gotta love Alice! Thanks Steph, you deserve some dancin’ cows for this!
thanks to Alice!!
Brilliantly written – IC alludes to this but you make it real thank god for Alice as Lamentamini said “I’m surprised Alice didn’t knock on Tina’s head and ask if anyone was home in there. lol ” Your writing was absolutely wonderful. Now get into action Tina and fast!!!
if only, if only, if only. i am of course referencing if only we were to be so fortunate to see just a snippet of something like this S4/S5, but alas, no. thanks for waking Tina up and allowing her to see what we’ve all wanted her to get all along. so looking forward to the next update!
For once Alice is making complete sense, Bette and Tina need to start listening to each other and thier own hearts.
Well Steph if you were writing the S5 episodes, you know you’d have the option to make Jenny drown on the little life raft she set sail on in S4. Just saying…….
Way to go Alice!!
Finally, some glimpse of light in the tunnel. Gotta love Alice… jesus fucking christ is right. Those two are exhausting! Can’t wait for your next chapter to see what Tina actually does with her enlightened information.
I love, love Alice! Very well written and I can’t wait for the next chapter to see what Tina does next.
Steph, I only have one thing to say, if IC ever needs a writer, I sure hope you’re available. You have a knack at really pulling the story together like few can. Thank you so much for this, because so many of us would have loved to see it play out this way!!! PPS
I repeat, sledgehammer. Peter Gabriel sang about them back when. I’m glad Alice has wielded such on Tina’s thick skull. Tina, your turn. So what are you saying Steph? I was some kind of maitresse de ballet? You just stay on your toes and like it.
Steph, thanks for another brilliant chapter. I’m glad that Tina had the conversation with Alice, I can’t wait to see how she responds…
We all hope that this comes to past. Nothing would please my heart more. thanks for a wonderful chapter
Steph, I so your Alice. Glad dhe got through to Tina. Now what will Tina do? Thank you PPS
Finally, someone more specifically Alice let out the truth. I hope that it is not too late for Bette and Tina to repair if not build new roads to their life as a couple.
Thank you Alice. Open the blinds eyes please lol. Come on Tina, ring Bette now, have a talk with your love hum. Fight for her
hey funnyone, i love the ballet!!! would you pay to see me do a dance??? ok, steph. still the assumptions are all over the place. but when people are assuming, then the hearing becomes very selective. and add protecting ones self in the the mix, ya gotta a whole lot of fun. very much like lifes experiences. thanks.
Your defining of 17 reasons is so much better than IC’s. I felt that way through the whole season. Like hello are you two listening to each other. I’m with Alice, I so wanted to smack someone. Love this steph, keep it up.
This story is great! Please continue it soon.
do u two ever actually listen to each other? lol..I’ve had that thought about them since s1!!!!!! loving the intensity…pps
We love Alice and love your story thank you so much please post soon love
Great work :] That’s all really, that needs to be said.
Oh I love this story… thank god Bette and Tina have Alice and thank god WE have you! Please post soon!
Oh, from Alice’s mouth to God’s ear. Let’s hope Tina books a flight to NY and Alice calls Bette to tell her that Tina is on her way or Tina calls her. Thank God for Alice’s big mouth and her tendency to impose herself into their situation. Maybe someone can get throughto the two of them. PPS
Lovely. If only IC makes this happen. Love this Steph. And Alice, you go girl!
Steph, As i read this I thought back to the scenes from the show. How did B & T become so clueless when it comes to reading the body language of the other? Wonderful job using Alice & her big mouth to finally point Tina in the right direction. Now, go get your woman, T! LOL! PS
thank goddess for alice!!! i agree though, seems like before B&T could easily understand each other…i wish they could get that back
Fantastic! Alice, for once, used her meddling powers for good! My previous assertion that Bette should make the first step was based on Bette’s infidelity being the launching point of their current situation. Of course, here, you put the ball in Tina’s court. As Alice said, they don’t listen to one another, and their communication skills were quite damaged from what we saw in the Pilot. I don’t even care who makes the first move! Maybe they’ll run into each other at one of the airports, but it’s long overdue for them to declare their undying love for one another and live happily ever after! Will we get another early post so we can see very quickly how you intend to reunite our girls??
Good chapter. Now let see Tina fight and win Bette back, thanks to Alice. Plesae post more, thanks!
Hello Steph, I have just caught up with these latest chapters. Thank you so much for this intriguing and delightful tale. It is brilliant to see the mind games that Tina and Bette have been playing begin to unravel and allow their true feelings to emerge. Sweet that Alice was the one to provide Tina with an honest appraisal of Bette’s recent behavior. Now the air is clear it is time for Tina to go get her woman. I can’t wait. Steph, you embody this well crafted story with love and understandong. Just perfect. More please as I can’t wiat to see Tina on the prowl and Bette as the hunted. Many thanks Your Loyal Fan.
