Tina checked her watch once more, confirming what she intrinsically knew. She was late for work. The morning hadn’t started out as she had hoped, having slept through the alarm for the second time this week. She had thought she could make up the time, quickly getting dressed for work, but once Angelica hugged her from behind after eating a buttery piece of bread, her hopes of making her staff meeting on time diminished. As Tina thumbed through her closet, it became increasingly obvious to her that she needed to stop procrastinating and actually buckle down and do laundry that night.
Tina opened Bette’s closet doors to reveal Bette’s alarming volume of clothes. She lost herself in a sad moment as she saw various empty hangers swaying in the breeze caused by her abruptly opening the doors. Tina quickly focused back on the task at hand, finding a shirt to replace the one she was wearing that had Angelica’s small handprints on it. As she slipped her arm through the material of the shirt Bette’s scent gathered in the air around Tina, creating a familiar pull within her body.
“God you have to get back here,” Tina mumbled as she quickly buttoned the pristine shirt, one of Bette’s favorites. “Come on, Angelica, Mama T is going to be even later than she was two days ago when Mr. No-Creativity-Aaron bit her head off.”
Angelica laughed as Tina’s arm enveloped her while she twirled around, giving Angelica a few moments of freedom and fun. She kissed Angelica as they toppled onto the bed, Tina forgetting for a moment the need to rush to work.
“I’ll miss you today,” Tina said, disgusted by the sound of her iPhone buzzing on the nightstand next to her. She reached for it, quickly throwing it onto the bed as her eyes scanned Aaron’s number scrolling across the screen. “You can wait until I get in.” It was simply a reminder of what Tina already knew, she was late, and needed to move quickly to get out the door and start the day.
Tina’s drive to The Planet was a blur. She hated that, once more, Angelica was going to have to spend her day stuck in The Planet while Kit worked until she and Bette could find a preschool they both agreed on. With Bette being gone for weeks at a time, making it home only for the weekends, interviewing preschools was nearly impossible. Tina quickly parked her car, laughing as Angelica screamed in delight at the sudden movement of the car.

Welcome back, Gumby! This is very interesting. One chapter and it already has picqued my curiosity. That last part was so creepy. Hmmm, who could it be?
Wow I am already hooked. Thank you for returning and sharing your amazing stories. Thank you, Thank you…Thank you…Can wait for more.
The woman -“You’re wrong about the use of abstract art in today’s society, my dear Bette,” – “We can discuss that though, sooner than you could even imagine.” – ooo, mysterious!
What a pleasant surprise, hope to see more of your fantastic writing
your backkkk, missed your writeing you are one of the best.intresting start.who is the that women please not candy a– pps
Welcome Back Gumby! Yeah a new story, complete with intrigue! Your Angelica was cracking me up– she seems a bit older than the show’s Angie. I’m trying to figure out the time line- you said pre schools so she’s 4 or 5?
“Welcome back, you dreamed for….” I am humming the theme song from Welcome Back Carter. I have missed you and your stories and I know that I owe you an e-mail. I am ashamed for not getting back to you. I hope we get some B&T lovung before the other drama starts. PPS :o).
Gumby!!! you are back my friend!! So so happy :). Emjoying this story from the first paragraph.. and love the suspence and intrigue!!! Can’t wait for more :-)
I was just rereading “On center Stage” a few days ago and then went on to “Enter stage..” Your way with words and characters is so refreshing and at times hilarious. I loved Angelicas comment about Tinas sarcasm, it was spot on. Anyway, it´s truly great that you´re back. Thank you for returning.
Sounds like some maniacal stalker……oh boy…..I am hooked
So happy to see you back Gumby!!!! Was the woman from the last part Bette’s MOM? Great start to this new story. Thank you PPS
Very nice ! I really like this start ! PPS Gumby !
Gumby’s back!! *doing happy dance* intriguing opening, and I’m now going to read the next 2 chaps~
Just to let you know I am reading this story.
OMG, OMG, OMG…is it really you Gumby? **grinning from ear to ear**I’m just thrilled to see you posting. Love the beginning of this. So is it safe to assume that the artist is Jodie and she’ll be providing all the drama for this fic? And the thought of Tina greeting Bette with only her heels on at the door, was a visual that left me a bit warm around the collar.
And yet another Sleeping (Writer) Beauty kissed awake by the arrival of spring… :-) Great to see you back, Gumby!
Can’t wait to find out who that woman is!
Yeah, yeah – Gumby is back. Nice to see you back, missed your stories.
I see trouble ahead lovely to see you back.
Sounds like an angry artist. I love suspense. PPS
Hey Gumbo, it’s so good to see you posting again, you’ve been missed. Lu and I were just talking about you and William. Still in the honeymoon phase with the new hip? LOL OMG I kill me. Thanks for the awesome post you tiger!
Thank you. It’s so lovely to see a story from you. Can’t wait to see what happens it’s so freakin interesting already.
Hi Gumby I do not post often, but could not past this opportunity by without a shout out and a welcome back. You are one of my fav writers and I’m already interested in the direction your story is going.
Its been a long long time glad to see your back, enjoy the ride.
Yee-hah…Gumby is in the house! Oh, I’m so glad to see you again. What wonderful writing! Sarcasm = guilty pleasure of clever people. So, mini-Bette can quote and hold her own with mama T…oh, so cute! Oh my…the visiual of mama T…greeting in heels only…drool. Can’t wait for your next one. Welcome back!
This is a different direction for you but very intriguing. Your previous stories have such a wonderful funny voice to them. I’m just glad that you’re back!
Angst and tension. not my favorite season, but glad you are writing and I read everything (almost not Jenne stories even I have limits
Welcome back! I love the beginning of this story and the Mystery woman! I don’t usually post (a silent reader) but you are one of my favorite writers…thanks so much! Can’t wait for more :)
