    Author Notes:

    Because they’re such good friends.

    "You’re not seeing anyone?" Tina asked.

    "Nope." Bette confirmed.

    "Why not?"

    "What do you mean, why not?" Bette asked.

    "Why aren’t you dating anyone?"

    "Why am I not dating anyone," Bette repeated Tina’s question. "Good question."

    "And from the tone of your voice I’m almost dreading the answer," Tina joked. "Come on. Tell Doctor Kennard what’s wrong."

    "Other than the woman I thought I would spend the rest of my life with decided she wasn’t gay and dumped me for a man?" Bette pointed out.

    "At the heart, Porter."

    Bette laughed. "Well, think about it. Five years ago, do you think we’d have this now? Sitting together as friends, having coffee?"

    "I never said I didn’t want to be your friend." Tina pointed out.

    Bette leveled her with a look. "Because our relationship is so deeply rooted in friendship."

    "Good point."

    "I always was smarter than you."

    "Fuck you too, Bette."

    Bette grinned at her. "What do you want me to say? Dating around is fun, being with someone new every so often can be a very good feeling. There were relationships, but nothing really serious."

    Tina paused. "Why not?"

    "Why not?" Bette repeated. "I guess I’m just waiting for that next great relationship. I mean, I’m not looking for it, or anything. The same way I wasn’t looking for you when we met."

    "But you still believe in that."

    "In what?"

    "That. The Great Relationship. Great love, and all that jazz."

    "Sure," Bette shrugged. "But I’m not holding out for it. If it happens, great. If it doesn’t, then, well, tough, right?"

    "Doesn’t it get lonely?"

    Bette frowned. "Sometimes. But it gives me time to think."

    "You’re braver than me."

    Bette looked at her. "You’re not lonely, right?"

    Tina shrugged. "Helena’s good company. Her moving back to New York around the same time I did was a big relief, so I didn’t have to completely start from scratch."

    "You’re both busy." Bette pointed out. "I read somewhere she’s back in charge of the Peabody Foundation?"

    "True. But, you know, it’s not even Helena. It’s easier, when I have Angelica. At her age she carries conversations like nobody else. So I have someone to talk to. Someone who’s willing to put up with my rants and complaints." Tina smiled, remembering. "And my favorite part is that she completely counters everything. When I tell her I had a bad day, like this one time a director we were mixing everything around for suddenly decided to quit? Angelica looked at me, and described her trip to the zoo."

    1. i own both movies and i absolutely love them, i hope this walk will be very long and bring them on to one path – together, as a family with angie

    2. Hmm. I keep reading so it’s definitly interesting. But I don’t know if like the story. Figure that out. :) I guess the one thing that bothers me is Tina’s attitude toward Bette and how she treated her. It seems really lax and easygoing. Like it was no big deal that she is not only a lesbian again but with Helena of all people. Like that would have no effect on Bette? I guess being Italian-American I can identify more with yelling and angry gestures.

    3. I never saw those two movies so I am hoping for a good ending and not one that they become good friends. Bette and Tina belong together and no one should come between them. Beside Angelica would probably love to have both of her mothers in the same town and hopefully in the same house as her.

    4. I 2nd B&TF sentiment. How ever long you need to take them, please let them find a way back to each other. How is Tina going to explain to Bette about dating H after men? Please update soon.

    6. I absolutely love tina in this story!!!! Please continue, and although I am dieing to see bette and tina get back together, I will read no matter what the outcome…unless somehow you find a way of putting bette with helena…yuck…please post soon!!!!!

    8. Maybe deep down Tina went back to Helena hoping it might one day lead her back to Bette. There are so many comments these two make that make me cringe, but for some reason they just roll with it. If I ever got to be in their shoes, I don’t think I could joke about my ex’s track record with regards to getting pregnant, or any and all affairs, etc. Some things I just don’t find funny at all.

    13. There is much unresolved baggage between them because it comes to the surface very quickly. But they are also quick to acknowledge it and I like how your Tina will engage Bette, unlike TV Tina. Anyway, I’m enjoying this and I’ll follow where you lead.

    18. least their friends, but honestly, you know we want more, take how ever long you want, we don’t mind, I do like Helena, but with Tina ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm NO lol

    23. I love this Tiff. time appart and they are still dancing with each other around the issue neither will admit too…& teasing too – wiffs of still sexual tension me thinks?

    28. They act like they pick Anglica out of a peach tree and they where not together for 8 yrs. Bette is still in love with Tina is Tina in love with Bette that is the question. I’m sure you will set me straigh on that thanks

    29. Both movies got rave reviews, so I guess I’m on solid ground treading down this path with these former lovers. I watch the movies after this is done. Don’t want any foreshadowing.
