Bette chuckles.
Bette – You are a long way from Malibu. But if you turn left on the first light, you will see a sign for the Santa Monica Boulevard.
Dana – Oh … right! First light … turn left … Santa Monica Boulevard. That’s easy!
Bette – Yes, it is.
Dana – Well, thanks!
Bette – You’re welcome!
Dana – I guess I’ll … go to Malibu! Bye!
She waves at the women.
Tina – Bye, Dana!
Marina – Bye!
Dana leaves embarrassed. Bette and Tina exchange a knowing smile.
————————————————
The Planet, late morning: Dana walks out wearing her sunglasses again and stops on the sidewalk, looking sad.
Tina looks pensive, watching her from inside the café.
Tina – I’ll be back in a minute.
She stands up and walks out, approaching the tennis player.
Tina – Dana?
Dana turns around and smiles again.
Dana – Hi … I was just … leaving.
The blonde smiles warmly.
Tina – I just wanted to let you know that …
She sighs.
Tina – … not too long ago, I also got lost … and needed to come here to find my way.
Dana – Yes?
Tina – Yeah. And if you … get lost again … you can always come back. I’ll be glad to help you.
The athlete grins.
Dana – Thanks!
Tina – You’re welcome. Good luck, Dana!
Dana – Thanks, Tina!
Tina – See you around!
Dana – See you around!
Tina heads back inside the café and Dana walks away with a smile.
—————————————-
The Planet, late morning: Bette is alone at the table signing the check when Tina walks in and sits by her side.
Bette – Is she alright?
Tina – She will be … if she follows her heart.
The brunette looks up at her with questioning eyes.
Tina – The first time I came here, I was feeling the same way … kind of scared and unsure of what I wanted … but knowing that I needed to come here … that I needed to see you and try to figure it all out.
The brunette nods and caresses Tina’s hand.
Tina – I just told her that I’ll be here if she needs to ask for directions again.
Bette looks at her with loving eyes.
Bette – Your kindness makes you special.
Tina – Thanks, baby!
The brunette closes her purse.
Bette – Ready?
Tina smiles warmly.
Tina – Yeah … more than ready!
They stand up and leave the café, waving at Marina on their way out.
They walk side by side toward Bette’s car and the producer casually embraces the brunette at the waist.
Bette stops surprised and stares at the blonde delighted.
Tina brings her hand to her girlfriend’s face and kisses her lips, a soft but meaningful kiss in the middle of the street. They grin at each other and Bette offers her hand, which Tina holds in public for the first time … and they walk away hand in hand.

Awww… What a lovely chapter, what a lovely, heartwarming, well-written love story! Brava, dbff! It’s nice how you reintroduced Dana and neatly tied up this chapter with Bette and Tina’s breakthrough kiss in a restroom many months ago. I’m glad that Tina followed her heart and how she encouraged and offered to help Dana follow her heart too. I’ll say this again, I love your depiction of Tina as a kindhearted, loving, possessive but confident, strong and accomplished woman, the perfect complement to strong, accomplished, charming, possessive, loving, occasionally vulnerable Bette. Your version of Bette and Tina is ten times better, more watchable than that of the show! A thousand times thank you for your talent, imagination and romantic, generous heart, dbff! :D
I’m curious how this will all end but it also makes me sad that this story is coming to end soon. This story–like “Western Skies” and the other TiBette stories in this site–has been my refuge, my haven, my escape from the humdrum of every day life and the harsh, sometimes heartbreaking realities in the world. Guess I’ll just have to reread your stories and the other gems in this site and just wait for you to be inspired again. Thanks again, dbff! :D Have a lovely, productive week! :D
check out a truely brilliant story by author, “BK” called: Remember Who You
The title then switches to: Remember Who You Are for the rest of the chapters. Think Author had missed the “Are” in the title of chapter 1.
If you want to know what happened after Jodi publicly humiliated Bette, and see the mature growth of Tibette, the story of Tina that wasnt revealed in TLW series, this story is a MUST!!!!
I can see why this chapter was supposed to be the last. Things have come full circle.
I’m still smiling: Grandma, the wild one, Kit and the introduction of the girlfriend, the Alice + Bette story, how Dana became part of the family and Tina finally being comfortable to be out in public.
Thank you so much for this cute and entertaining Tibette love story. Great background story that answered some of the questions of the original show.
Can’t wait to read the epilogue – even if it means the end of the story :-)
Very nice! Glad you are adding an Epilogue!
Thanks for posting look forward to the next

Hi! Thank you for the chapter!
I forgot to mention i’m glad that you introduced Tina family (and yeah, Granma is bomb:)). Because if i remember correctly she was only one from main cast TLW about which family we knew absolutely nothing ( interrogation tapes it’s not canon for me)
So, waiting for epilog than.
Lovely story….full circle from Tina’s first kiss to first public kiss. I love the introduction of Dana tieing the beginning to the end. I love Bette’s persistence and her gentility as she pursued Tina, only to be snared by Tina for the capture. I love Meg as Tina’s best friend. Too bad that Meg and Brad are moving to Portland soon, but I’m sure they will be present for Bette and Tina’s commitment ceremony. I’m sure Tina’s parents will be there as well with Grandma too.
This is a very nice story….and I would love for you to present some more. I have read Western Skys and I love that one too…. Waiting for the epilogue on this one and feel that you will be presenting us with more at some point in the future….Thank you
I agree with alle the previous comments!
I truly enjoyed this story!
Looking forward to the epilogue!
Humm ok.. covered all the base I suppose and that a wrap. Thank you.
At the bottom of the last page it reads TBC so I suppose that will happen. I like this story
Thanks, Jane! Check the author’s notes.
