Tina slipped into the seat next to Alice at The Planet. The table they had commandeered was in the corner away from most of the morning rush that Kit enjoyed each morning as the premier café for coffee drinkers.
“To what do we owe this pleasure?” Alice asked as Tina settled in the chair with Angelica in her lap. She took great pleasure in unwrapping her straw and blowing the paper in Tina’s direction laughing when it hit her in the shoulder.
“I have the week off actually,” Tina announced proudly. “After being able to pull off a location shot a month earlier than what Aaron scheduled, I exercised my right for a vacation.”
“Where’s Bette?” Shane asked, scanning the crowd for her friend.
“Georgetown.” Tina slipped a piece of Alice’s fresh fruit in her mouth as she struggled to annunciate as she chewed. “Some conference about funding and universities.”
“B-o-r-i-n-g,” Alice spelled as she pretended to stifle a yawn making Angelica laugh with her light humor. “You’ve been on vacation for days and you’re just now getting my one and only niece here to play with us?”
“You do know that your brother Nelson has kids right?” Tina chuckled. “The ones that you usually send to run your errands when they stay with you. Blonde hair, snotty noses, you remember them right?”
“They don’t count. They’re too pretentious for me even at this young and tender age. So what have you done on this ‘too busy to play with Auntie Alice’ vacation?”
“Interviews,” Tina offered, making a fake gagging motion to punctuate her point that she was not enjoying the interview process.
“Are we leaving the all and powerful studio job to prepare our body for something once again?” Alice arched one eyebrow provocatively causing Angelica to laugh.
“I don’t have to prepare my body for pregnancy, Alice, and no that isn’t what I’m doing anyway. I happen to like my job thank you very little.”
“What’s not to like?” Alice asked casually. “An iPhone that buzzes non-stop.”
“Your point?”
“Without Bette it does come in handy doesn’t it?” Alice said with a smile as Tina shot her a warning look. “Vacation must be hard on you.”
“What are you interviewing for, Tina?” Shane asked to bring the conversation back on track.

“She was a little freaky,” Shane pointed out. “She grabbed my ass one time.””Oh is that what happened to it?” Alice mocked with laughter.******ROFLMAO I love it when you bring your sense of humor out to play! This literally had me laughing out loud. I didn’t even think about whether this moved anything forward or not. It was just plain fun! Thanks!!
So f…. funny. Thanks.
Never mind moving plots forward, that was a perfect, no-angst, fun way to segue into the weekend! Feel free to sprinkle those in every now and then!
Seahurst beat me to the quote of the day, LOL! You comic timing is brilliant!
LOL Fun! Thanks for the update!
That was funny. When Alice makes an appearance its not to move the plot along. Leave it to Alice to come up with the funny and having Shane as the straight man, so to speak.
Fab chapter – could it be that Tina has interviewed Bette’s mother for the post and that is her way in…????
So funny, Mrs. Doubtfire. They could use someone like her. Thanks Proofie and of course Gumby for a very entertaining story.
Ypu know, Gumby, this is really funny because when I ended reading your previous chapter with Maxine saying that she had decided to be back in Bette’s life and and I realized that B & needed a housekeeper the first thing that camed to mind was actually Mrs. Doubtfire. I swear I thought Maxine would be the perfect candidate for that, but considering Bette would likely not want to have anything to do with her mother just yet, I thought she indeed play the Mrs. Doubtfire card ;) LOL ! Anyway, I’m still loving this story. Thanks for sharing. PPS !!
Alright, so now I’m gonna try and repost my comment in actual English ’cause I was having a hard time typing on that bloody keyboard before. Sorry about that ! You know, Gumby, this is really funny because when I finished reading your previous chapter with Maxine saying that she had decided to be back in Bette’s life and I realized that B & T needed a housekeeper, the first thing that came to mind was actually Mrs. Doubtfire. I swear I thought Maxine would be the perfect candidate for that, but considering Bette would likely not want to have anything to do with her mother just yet, I thought she could indeed play the “Mrs. Doubtfire card” ;) LOL ! Anyway, I’m still loving this story. Thanks for sharing. PPS !!
You’re a funny lady, Gumby!
I’m thinkin plenty of serious chaps ahead.This one was light, funny and really enjoyable.
This is was an excellent update. There was so many wonderful parts to just laugh. Thank you for this story.
Alice with all the movie references. Funny so funny. Now I would have loved to see Tina on some of those interviews. Great chapter.
I got it!” Alice shouted. “Mrs. Doubtfire! You need Mrs. Doubtfire!” – poor Maxine will have to wear a prosthetic bosom and put her face in a pie?.. ;-)
Hey Gumby, That was hill-lar-ee-ous. Alice was annoyingly humerous as Shane just dipped in and out with her pearls of wisdom.I sense that an older woman without children may be in the near future as the perfect housekeeper.Keep them coming.Many thanks for your great story-telling.Your Loyal Fan.
