The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 2
When Bette next awoke, she was tucked into the king-sized bed. There was a bottle of water, a bottled smoothie, and a bottle of ibuprofen on the nightstand. With her head pounding, she sat up and used her shaky fingers to grab 4 tablets and swallow them with nearly the entire bottle of water. She was thirstier than she thought she was. The bedroom was empty, and the shadows of dusk had begun to envelop the room. She glanced about, still trying to get her bearings, still stuck in a reality that made no sense. A reality without Tina.
She remembered then and more tears sprang to her eyes.
“Dana!” she cried.
And then she heard footsteps move quickly down the hallway. Dana was there and wrapped her in a warm embrace and rubbed her back as her shoulders shook. “It’ll get better. I promise you it will,” said Dana.
“It hurts so much. I miss her. I miss Tina,” Bette replied.
Dana held her friend and stroked the long dark curls. “I know. Do you feel okay? Drink your smoothie.”
Bette nodded. “I feel jittery inside. My head hurts.”
“I know. The water and medicine will help. So will the smoothie. If you can keep that down then we’ll try some soup, okay?”
Bette felt small and scared, but Dana’s presence was calming. She drank the smoothie, tasting strawberry, banana and ginger. It helped a little with the anxiety. She did feel better. They were quiet together as Bette tried to absorb her surroundings.
“What happens now?” she finally asked.
“Well, first we get you healthy. Then we get started on you living this life,” Dana replied.
Bette nodded. “I want Tina in this life.”
Dana smiled. “Then once we get you healthy, you’ll find Tina.”
That response earned Dana a wide smile. “I can find Tina?”
“This is your life, Bette. You can do whatever you like.”
Bette’s smile fell. “I don’t know what to think. And I don’t know anything that’s going on. I feel so confused.”
“Of course, you’re confused. As I said, the memories you have are not of this reality.”

Interesting chapter, MTS! Sounds like Bette from 2005 could change the life of Bette from 2019 for the better. Drugs, alcohol, failed marriage… Bette now has the chance of letting go this life and start again.
I hope the idea of looking for and finding Tina will stick with Bette while she will adjust to this reality. Love that Dana plays a part in your story. Please let her continue to support and advise Bette.
Thanks for confirming that this will be a Tibette story. I’m happy to read that! Watching the previews of the new show made me depressed regarding the status of Tina’s and Bette’s relationship. I wished they’d find a better idea for our beloved couple. Thinking of Bette kissing some other woman makes me sad and I don’t like to watch that.
I do hope though that the show with all of these new characters will be a success and find a lot of fans like the original show did. But messing with Tibette .. ….
Anyway over here in Germany we’ll have to wait for some time to watch the show. If a TV station picks it up at all.
I do hope that a lot of writers – like you – will continue to create wonderful stories about Tina and Bette and the usual gang.
Looking forward to the next chapter of your story!
cheers
Hi! Thank you for the new update!
So, this Bette from 2019 not very nice person – drug, alcohol. And no Tina. Bette from 2005 i like better. But we will see what this Bette can do with her problems.
About “Gen. Q” – no, not planning to watch at all. This spin-off (for me this “show” not sequel but spin-off) lack only reason for me to watch it – Tibette. So not
Hi MTS:
This is a great story, I couldn’t comment before, but from the beginning, I thought it was worthy to follow.
I think this new book about the roommates is refreshing and gives us a new start. I sense a little bit of sci-fi (alternate timeline), and I like it very much.
I want to know what is about Tina in this timeline, but I guess you’ll tell us in the next chapters.
So far the story is going so good, of course as many here, I would like more pages, but every length is good.
About the new show, I’m watching, I needed to watch it because it was depressing, I was nervous about this generation Q, taking away my TIBETTE, but I discovered that TIBETTE is FOREVER, and I will keep reading and writing TIBETTE stories, though in the new show are new good characters, it doesn’t compare with TIBETTE, (at least so far for me). And I will keep also watching the new show.
Thanks for the chapter, and please post soon.

Intriguing chapter: lots of questions still to answer. But that will come with additional chapters. Looking forward to them & finding out more of the story.
Thanks so much for continuing this story & the Tibette fan fiction.
Like Bette in this story – lost & looking for answers, that is how I felt in viewing the first episode of Gen Q.
Not liking not having Tina in the series. I think they could have worked around Laurel’s art schedule to include her in the show. The show seemed disjointed & shallow. No spark except for Bette. Alice & Shane haven’t seemed to have matured or evolved in the past 10 years.
Will continue to watch & prayer for Tibette to some how reconnect. I too don’t wish to see Bette with anyone else but Tina.
Thanks again.
Oh Geeze, poor Bette! I’m absolutely 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 laughing at her responses after “Dana” starts talking about alternate realities!!!
”Is this what schizophrenia feels like?”
When Alice calls: “I’m good Alice. But I think you were right. I’m not we. Can you please come get me and take me to the hospital?”
Dana tells Bette about hr dependence on cocaine and bet says:
“Dark chocolate eyes grew wide: “I’m a coke head?!”
But the line that just made me hollah was”. Bette laughed bitterly. “No Tina and I’m a drug addict”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bette: “No Tina, I’m a coke head, and I’m gay married but separated from Sidney Davis”
Though she was still assessing the strength of this reality, Bette was glad when she was finally admitted to Cedars Sinai.
She to the R nurse about hallucinating that she’d seen a friend. They admitted her with a plan for a psych consult the following morning.
Y’all Bette was totally convinced that she had gone off the deep end and she wasn’t fighting not even a little bit
This is the funniest dialog with Bette I have ever read!!! Brava NTS👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
