Another girl stops the hairdresser on her way out and openly flirts with her. The tennis player gazes at them with fascination.
Shane leaves and Dana turns around, and walks over to the counter, still wearing sunglasses.
Tina – Dana …?
The athlete hears her name and bites her lower lip, afraid to turn around.
Tina – Dana?
Dana raises her eyebrows and mutters.
Dana – Ohh … my God!
Tina – Dana Fairbanks?
The tennis player sighs, resigned, and turns toward the voice.
The blonde waves at her and Dana shyly waves back. She looks around embarrassed and makes her way to Tina’s table.
Tina – Hi, Dana!
She smiles warmly.
Tina – We met in a restroom before, remember?
The athlete finally takes off her sunglasses and smiles.
Dana – Hi! Yes, I remember.
Tina – Oh, I’m sorry … I never introduced myself to you. I’m Tina Kennard and this is my girlfriend, Bette Porter.
She turns to Bette.
Tina – She is the tennis player I told you about … Dana Fairbanks.
Bette – Hi, nice to meet you!
They shake hands.
Dana – Nice to meet you! I remember you too!
The gallery owner raises an eyebrow inquisitively.
Dana – Uh … you were at the restaurant as well.
Tina – Wow, you have an amazing memory!
The athlete blushes.
Dana – No … it’s just … she was at the restroom when I came in.
Tina – Ahh …
She shares a knowing look with her girlfriend. The gallery owner smirks.
Marina approaches them with the check.
Tina – Oh, and this is Marina Ferrer, The Planet’s owner. Marina, this is the tennis player Dana Fairbanks.
Dana – Hi!
They shake hands.
Marina – Hi Dana! I’ve watched you play on TV.
Dana looks genuinely happy.
Dana – Yes? Good!
Marina – Would you like a table, Dana?
Dana – Oh … no … I … Uh … I was lost. And I was going to ask for …
She pauses in thought.
Tina – Directions?
Dana – Yeah, right! Directions!
Marina – Where are you going?
Dana – Uh … I was going … nowhere! I was just driving … nice day, you know?
Bette – She means … where do you want to go from here … since you were lost?
Dana – Oh … yeah … lost. I wanted to go to … Malibu! Yeah, I … have friends there.

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.
