JT was part of the celebration, but not the singing. She watched with amusement at the antics of Bette and Tinas friends. They were all very lucky to have each other, she thought. But Bette seemed to be drinking quite a bit. That wasnt like her.
During this intermission, JT walked toward the house and gave Tina a look that meant that Tina was supposed to join her.
Whats up? Tina asked as she arrived in the kitchen where JT was waiting.
Does Bette always drink this much?
No. Shes just letting her hair down because shes been under stress and she knows she doesnt have to drive tonight. Also, tomorrow she can rest and Ill take care of her.
Wheres the stress coming from? You two seem pretty happy.
Weve never been better.
JT waited quietly.
Bettes worried about her gallery. Its not quite making the money she hoped and shes thinking about taking a salaried job.
I can always help, you know, said the very wealthy Texan.
Tina looked gratefully at JT, but shook her head.
Weve talked, on and off, about a family. If we go for that in the next couple of years, Bette will have to support all of us for a while and she wants to make sure she has enough money and medical insurance. And the insurance has to cover me. Lots to think about.
Like many wealthy people, JT didnt quite understand what it meant to worry about money. But she was probably more aware than many people of her economic class. When she was in college, for example, she tried to live within the economic means of her friends.
She remembered once having a conversation with Bette about money and what it meant. JT had fallen back on one of the clichs that people sometimes use about money.
Yankee girl, money doesnt make you happy.
Bette had produced a small smile and looked JT right in the eye.
Poverty doesnt make you happy, either.
JT shook her head slightly to bring her back to the present.
Bette will be OK. She just needs to let off some steam, Tina assured JT.

I think the new server is devoting itself to the delight of Mr. Spock. Too bad for the rest of us.
Goody! Its all fixed now. I almost choked on my snack when they started singing the fight songs it was so funny. Alice’s pitch pipe! Shane’s reaction! But I still wonder about the chafe factor on that coconut bra. Glad Al didn’t have a wardrobe malfunction with her crab shells. I’ll cherish these bits until you can bring us some more Pancha. I’m sure there’ll be many waiting for that day.
okay, this chapter looks okay comparing to other one…anyway…said to see you going but i hope the intermission will be short…and as for the other story…well, you know, i’m a tibetter so i will read whatever you write because i love your stories but i don’t want my heart to be broken again…but it’s just me, whiny tibetter
Yea, Pancha..this was perfect. Keep bringin’ it home , baby!
Much Better! Great chapterQuestion: Sometimes in your summary you inidcate that this is before the first breakup, are you saying that in 7 years Bette will still cheat?
Bette is so lucky to have THIS Tina. Oh, my heart’s aching again… When you write something sad, it’s aching; when you write something happy, it’s aching…
OMG I was howling with laughter. I wonder if Alice knew how to use the pitch pipe? I ask because I was in choir many moons ago and during a concert a guy tried to give us a B-flat and the pitch dipped down while he was blowing. Yeah, we laughed right in the middle of the performance. Anyway, taking a break is normal. Not everyone can kick out a chapter everyday. And about the possibility of a new story where Bette moves on, I can’t guarantee I will read it except for maybe the first chapter, but if it’s something you need to get out, then by all means do it.
“Bette’s face was so stiff with annoyance that she was unable to point out that the lyrics were not “exactly†correct. But unfortunately, they were close enough.” Heh, that’s dang funny pancha. I would love to read a How Bette Got Her Grove Back pancha style. I see a hot artist or a musician, anyone with talented fingers, creative, passionate… : )
This story is almost better than fried chicken or sex. …almost…

Pancha, Another wonderful addition to your fabulous fan fiction. I can just see the pool party with all the gals having great fun. I loved the way you brought in the Hermit crabs and Coconut bra. Tastefully done. Thank you so much for continuing this astounding tale and demonstrating the love that Tina and Bette have for each other and for the group of family and friends. An absolute joy to read. Your Loyal Fan.
