It was an incredible weekend. One that I’m beginning to pick apart for more and more hidden meanings and this can only mean one thing. I’m heading into obsession. Never a good place for me.
”Bette!” The woman’s voice is now much closer. I turn around to see Phyllis’ daughter, Molly Kroll, nearly on top of me. God, she’s nearly as tall as I am.
”Molly!” I fake my enthusiasm. ”What finds you in this part of town, or even in town? Why aren’t you in school?”
”Something my Dad asked me to go to with him is later tonight. Normally, Mother would go.” Molly says dismissively. ”I was hoping to ask you a question. Your sister owns the place across the street, right?”
”Kit does, yes.” Relieved mine was such an easy answer. ”Glad I could clear that up. Now, I’m on my way to work.”
”Mind if I ride with you?”
”With me? To the university?”
”Yes, I mean if you don’t mind. I should probably see my mother while I’m in town.”
”Hop in.” I say as steady as I can. ”I drop Angelica off near campus.”
The Planet – Tina
Shane slides into an empty seat at the table with me and Alice, and opens her paper. ”How was Santa Fe? You and Bette have a good time?”
”Did you think we were moving to Santa Fe?” I ask.
”No, why? Are you moving to Santa Fe? That’s kind of sudden, isn’t it?”
”Not moving to Santa Fe. Alice said something. I’m just taking a poll.”
”Poll away, I guess. Any other questions?” Shane drifts back to her paper.
”Why would Phyllis’ daughter be getting into Bette’s car?”
”Molly?” Shane looks up. ”Is outside?”
”Was. Now they’re gone. What’s she doing way over here in West Hollywood at eight-thirty in the morning? Did you sleep with her last night?”
”Ha! Now, that’s funny.” Shane dips her paper down to peer at me.
”Maybe not sleeping with, but spying on Shane is my guess,” Alice suggests. ”And you really should not encourage her, Shane, or you’ll get a very mean phone call from Bette like I did when I ”dated” Phyllis.
”Or from Phyllis – no make that both of them,” I add my warning.

Thank you so much for updating. I love this story and all the quirky twists and turns.
Thanks so much for reading and dropping your comment. I’m back after a prolonged holiday away. Next story up soon! Please enjoy!

So many great lines…mixing up anxiety and depression pills…the Winnebago…the hoedown. ..can’t wait to read that episode. Alice…so funny. I identified with her most…not so pretty, a little nerdy as she described herself, and a bit needy. But god she had some of the best lines and facial expressions, didn’t she?
And this “not a beginner’s starter kit”…oh jeez that made me snort!!
Wonderful update as I’ve always come to expect from you. I hope your holiday was pleasant and restful. Welcome back!
I love the concept of your story!! Great Read!
I liked the beginners’ starter kit too! But this was epic: “After all, to most everyone Bette Porter is kind of a legion, and they’d love to be her friend, swim in her pool, get drunk on her sex appeal, and laugh at her wit and sophisticated sarcasm.”
Thanx for coming back to us ! And, yes we missed you !
Here’s a comment I got via email –

I can feel for Alice; she is beginning to feel out of the loop. Love how Alice covers her back by
having the plan to use Jenny as her scape goat is need be.
Cute…Tasha’s a #Republican…She’s going to earnestly #FuckMeOver…(good thinking of placing this in)
Funny, but true..Shane is not a beginner’s Starter Kit…Bette would know that for sure.
If someone has a crush on a person…she isn’t going to take advice…law of nature.
The best part for me is: “After all to most everyone Bette Porter is kind of a legion,
& they love to be her friend, swim in her pool, get drunk on her sex appeal, laugh at her
wit & sophisticated sarcasm…who does this remind you of: Jennifer Beals and her
fans adoration…yes, I am in that fan club…
Anxiously awaiting for the continuation….”
” she’s like a masterful or very lucky sailor who’s managed to swing her bow back around, and once again, skillfully catch her sails with the wind.”…….love it …..as well as the other”epic lines” Ben Mac referenced…must be quite a drag for Bette &Tina to live in the fish bowl that is West Hollywood …..can’t wait for Alice to meet Bette’s mom…oh what “wit and sophisticated sarcasm “there will be…thanks BB!
So many bits of snappy dialogue and insight in this installment SHOULD be “lingering” in my mind, and yet the one that is? “Lingering like a far in an elevator.” What am I, twelve?
Sigh. “Lingering like a FART in an elevator,” not “far.”
I have missed your great wit and scene descriptions. Welcome back!
I love that you all have pulled little zings of dialogue out -the lines that were memorable to you and that you felt something reading. I do love everyone of the lines you’ve brought up, so far, especially the one about Bette being a masterful or very lucky sailor and somehow catching her sails once again with the wind. I felt the energy of that line when I wrote it.
Another favorite of mine, that still makes me laugh when I read it is, the description of Bette that Alice coalesces when she says that women are holding out hope that Bette may once again lose her mind and her morals and “lie once against amongst the lesbian proletariat.”
That tickled me when Alice brought that up. It was just another in a long list of Bette’s “ooops, and fuck ups” that have had such unintended consequences for her and everyone else.
So! Hey Everybody! Thanks so much for reading and letting me know you are enjoying the tale, and Season 7 as I’m spooling it out for your enjoyment.
