Marina raises her eyebrows. Bette chuckles and Tina presses her lips together holding a laugh.
Alice – Well … maybe just Katie Couric.
The women laugh.
Alice – But it was all good, right? I was twenty-two and on my way to stardom!
Meg – What happened to the Goddess?
Bette and Marina exchange a knowing look.
Alice – Ahh … yes … the Goddess!
******************************
Flashback of The Planet, morning: Bette is paying for her coffee.
Alice’s voice – “I obviously couldn’t let her go without first meeting the next breakout star of the LA news scene – moi!”
Alice’s eyes are glued to the brunette as she waits for her coffee.
Alice’s voice – “So I decided to walk over to the counter and act as if I’m getting a refill of my coffee.”
Alice stands up and combs her hair with her fingers. She straightens her t-shirt and stares at Bette. She grabs the coffee cup and heads to the counter.
Alice’s voice – “She is there waiting for her order and I approach her with my confident swagger, holding my cup … which is half full …”

The Planet, late morning: Shane covers her eyes with her hands.
Shane – Oh nooo …
Bette has a sly smile on her face.
Alice – Yep … you got it! I say hi to her …
******************************
Flashback of The Planet, morning: Alice approaches Bette trying to look cool.
Alice’s voice – “… and next thing I know …”
Alice is just a couple of feet away from the brunette and walking in her direction when the brunette notices her and turns to look.
Alice – Hi, beauty …
She trips on the foot of a chair and falls forward in slow motion toward Bette, landing on the floor, on all fours. Her cup flies from her hand and lands on the brunette’s white suit, creating a black stain on her left thigh and splashing all over her jacket.
Bette gasps looking at the stain and her jaw drops.
Alice’s voice – “And so, I fall at her feet and my mind goes blank. I cannot believe I am in that situation. When I finally get the courage to look up with my most apologetic eyes, she is staring at me with the most piercing dark eyes …”

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.
