Bette and Tina fell easily fall back into their routines at home. They talk at least every other day and if they don’t talk they always exchange a daily text. Tina has also sent a few, just thinking about you cards to Bette. Both women still see their therapists; Bette has slowed the frequency since she has Angelica back in her life. She uses Hilda more as a sounding board now to help her trust Tina again.
Bette has gotten really busy at work. September is back to school in New York so the Museum will host lots of school field trips in the next few months. Bette believes that building an interest with young people will help the museum thrive for generations. She is very involved in the establishing the options of packages for the school groups. Each of the packages requires teachers to have the children complete an exercise in class before coming. The museum visit will build on that exercise. All of the children receive a grade appropriate take home package that includes puzzles, games, pencil or pen as well as a schedule of classes and child friendly events held at the museum. There are also discount family membership and Sunday admission coupons included for the kids to take home. Bette’s goal is to get one family from each group to join the museum. This is a largely untapped “market” and the board is astounded at the simplicity of Bette’s plan, yet the tremendous impact it could have on membership, class enrollments and repeat visits. Once again Bette Porter has wowed this board. Bette has instructed Mandy to schedule either herself or one of her staff members to speak with each group when they arrive. Bette wants the kids to feel like they know someone at the museum and learn something about the jobs at the museum. The Whitney isn’t a children’s museum, but Bette sees no reason it cannot be family friendly. September passes in a flash as Bette gets this newly focused program up and running. She personally visits with one class almost daily during this month. The response from the schools has been amazing and there is a definite uptick in Sunday family attendance. They are getting an even higher redemption rate on the “bounce back” and family membership coupons as well. Bette loves being able to implement programs like this. At the CAC she would never be allowed to do this. Her staff, while they sometimes complain about a particular bratty kid eventually admit it’s kind of cool to have little kids showing interest in their jobs. This program gives her staff greater enjoyment and a sense of pride in what they do at the museum. Bette has even had Mandy meet with a group a few times. This project has allowed time to fly until her trip to Disneyland.

I just love this story. Made me remember my 6th birthday at the park the year it opened
I love your story w/all the detail and thought expressed. I am so disappointed that IC messed up the story lines b/c I believe the show could of been on TV for many more years. I just love TiBette.
Wow, such a treat! A super long chapter of such a phenominal story. The detail you have put into this story is quite incredible, it really fleshes out the characters. I am also amazed that they are able to remain so calm when such potentially hurtful things are said. I guess that is the thing about forgiveness and hope, they enable you to take such discussions at face value, and not react too defensively. Can’t wait for more.
Okay the wake up from the dream kiss was cute. But their reconnecting kiss was “WOW” How sweet :) I’m happy now.
Sweet back n forth notes – your B&T are doing great!
Wow! What a GREAT post! How special for them as a family to have quality time together and still be able to keep the communication open. I like the pace you are moving this story along. Yes…the passionate side of me wants you to hurry up the reconnecting but the realistic side loves the way you are pulling this all together. Nice to see each of them still wanting to hold one another. I love Disney so what a great way for Angie to spend her first birthday. They do make you feel special everyday at Disney. Looking forward to much more…keep up the great writing.
I’m glad that they had a lovely weekend. :) Hope tehre’s more to come!
That was wonderful and beautifully written. I really enjoyed Bette and Tina’s non-verbal communication, especially leading up to their last nap together before leaving. I can’t wait to see where this is going. It’s very vivid. PPS
wow… loved the kiss..thanks… love this story… to bad the show didn;t play like this.. what a story it would of been.. no we get the shit ic wrote… pps
Lwsho…this was 20 pages of pure bliss! Your description of events and dialogue are nothing short of amazing. I am so enjoying this story and can’t wait until your next update…20 pages…that was awesome!
Brilliant update and what a progress. Thank you for this story… it’s really really great that they are working slowly in getting back together. Awesome :)Thank you!
Disney is truly Magical in many ways! What a great story!
This story is so Amazing!!!! I love it!!! 20 pages WOW!!!! Thank you PPS!!!
It was great to wake up and find this super long post from you! I’m really enjoying this story. You are able to capture the pain and the longing these two are feeling. Maybe Tina will go to nyc for thanksgiving too! Here’s hoping!Thanks! PPS
I love this story and the warm and depth of the chapters. Also the fact that you make them 20 pages is a plus too. Thank you for putting together such a beautiful story and I am really enjoying their come back story! PPS
Lsho, this was a wonderfully loving chapter and you write them so well. So happy we have writers like you continuing to give us something to “watch”(in my minds eye) since the show has gone off. So glad Tina did not over react when told her how she felt when she was in NYC for the opening. At last, it seems they have let go of the animosity and their love is re-surfacing. So happy for them having their moment before the short nap time. Loved it. Beautifully done, thanks for posting.
wow, that was so long and deep and enjoyable. Like the slow pace of the reunion. The tender moments were poignant. Now what? They’re gonna miss one another. Thx much for this story.
lwsho, great as usual. I love this slow pace you’re setting for the girls, I’m sure rushing would just mean problems in the future. But they’re talking (btw, tough conversation when Bette told Tina about her thoughts of why Tina went to New York. The way the convo started I was sure it was going to end up in a fight but both of them handled it beautifully) and moving forward slowly and this gives me hope for them. Thanks, lwsho. PPS!
What a treat these 20 pages. thank you. I love this story no doubt but the way you put it is so real for me it’s like watching a movie. what a hit it would have been if IC had your writer talent. This story is the best. Thank you for showing IC that we can talk and sort our issues in a civil way without killing each other and being nasty to each other. just love it. PPVS
this is a wonderfully written story. i feel like i am watching it on television. everything is so vivid. i hated for it to end. they have a long journey to go and i am anxious to read the next chapter.
That was awesome and glad B&T are together again!
