ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE CHAPTER FIVE
Bette had been up since 5am – it was one of the few times that the house was silent and she wanted to get on with her writing. She had written her first screenplay when she was 18 and still a freshman at Yale. It had been a piece of pulp about a female welder who wanted to be a dancer and on a whim she had sent it to several movie studios and one had picked it up and turned it into a movie. At the time of the movie’s release she had been as young as the female star of the film who had sought fame as little as she had.
From them Bette had applied herself to her studies and wrote on the side. She had trained as a journalist and after graduation she had worked for the Boston Globe and the Dallas Sentinel.
Five years of journalism had jaded her and when her father had died and left her a substantial sum of money she had quit full time work to return to academia and she had taken her Masters degree in History. She worked part time teaching Creative Studies at a local college but made most of her income from her writing.
But Emily’s death had robbed her of her inspiration and she had stopped writing. Helena – her publisher as well as her best friend had tried to encourage her to write as a form of therapy but Bette had been so submerged in grief that even to write a paragraph was torture.
But in the past few weeks she had begun to write again. She had told Helena that she was working on a new story making it seem like a small project. But Bette was excited by her writing again and part of her felt guilty to be enjoying her talent. She knew if she confided in anyone they would tell her that Emily would have wanted her to keep writing regardless of anything and everything else.
Sitting in the silent house with only Maggie at her feet for company Bette was slowly beginning to believe that she would sell her work again. She had thought about going full time at college but her love was always with words .

I’m sensing a love connection here. These twohave way too much in common to not be togther……But is Bette ready to move on from Emily? And what does Tina know about being w/ women? This should be interesting; post soon.
WOW!!!! Just Great!!! I hope Bette will open up soon and talk to Tina about Emily. Thanks PPS
A story about a female welder… I believe I’ve seen that movie ;) I hear cold-eez works wonders for a cold. Hope you feel better.
Ally, lovely chapter. This story is a bit complex, I think. There are a lot of characters but you are driving them all through a very interesting path. I am curious… what comes next? ;) See ya xx
Rest some and you will be ok soon. Take care! :)
am just really enjoying this story ally. thanks. and congrats to fergz
I felt there might be a joke in there somewhere about pussy-cats fighting to be stroked by Shane. That was a particularly resonant chapter, ally. I wonder who else uses their father’s name as their nom de plume? Sorry about the cold. Vitamin C and zinc, preferably with something in the stomach.
I so love this story, thanks for the update.
Thanks ally. And I LOL’d about “a piece of pulp about a female welder who wanted to be a dancer” and the image of Shane walking on her hands. Please give us 4 more chapters of this “All You Need Is Love”! ;-)
yes – that would be me funnyone – my dad’s middle name was emmerson. my real surname being far too silly
this is getting better and better.tina can help bette and the other way around.lets see who makes the first move now.they need more info about each other????? my cold i take alka selzer with lots of frizzy stuff.i vote for 4 all you need is love cause this is really a new story that hasnt established itself it? the others stories have which nothing is wrong with this so please dont take this wrong babe. all your stories are EXCELLENT WORK. p.p.s.
Oh and I know that Dana is going to tell Tina about Bette’s late wife, which will answer that question. Try some good old chicken soup and try sipping on some honey& lemon tea for that cold. Way to draw out the little secret funnyone :o).
Ally, you write any story you want. I enjoy them all. I am heading to the hospital today…he is finally ready to come out and see us.: ) I don’t know how much time I will have to read…I will email later.
I really enjoy reading this story. Hope you feel better soon!
Great Chapter, poor Bette but I am sure Tina will take her sadness away. I vote for The L Wing Hope you get rid of your cold
hope you feel better soon – like the pace of this but what is wrong with t and b’s radar??
ok so Ally how bout this a compromise for your devoted fans (i know u never said there was a compromise..but work with me a bit) How bout 1 week of 2 stories…….2 chappys a day (pushing it I know) one of The L Wing and one of All you need is love???? My absolute fav is The L Wing, now this one is coming pretty close too.
Excellent chapter Ally! The sooner the gaydars of those two start working, the better! LOL. Can we have 4 of L Wing
I am really liking this story b/c of a different angle. Your writing is so natural and smooth. Could you continue w/this story for a bit more?
Yet another of your stories that I’m getting really drawn into. How do you do it – time after time?
You had some exceeent advice on your cold If you did them all You would turn in a juicyorange chicken that flop flop around. No joking they are all good. Lets see how long it will take those two get get together. Bette is not telling. thanks so much for posting when you dont feel well, Hope you feel better. thanks
Geez, do their gaydar signals just TOTALLY interfere with each other’s or what?! So frustrating… hopefully, Dana will spill the beans and all will be revealed shortly! Love it! Now I don’t know… either L&P or this one… so torn.
i wish i can use my father’s name as nom de plume but it would be soooo weird LOL…nice background story on bette…well, B&T both have so much in common i wonder when they will get the idea of destiny

Thanks for the update on this story. Are you sure you can fit this in with the LWing? Love all you stories.
Ally, Am loving this most recent of your stories. It is pleasing to see Tina and Bette build a friendship after everything they have both been through. Tina’s growing attraction to Bette is intriguing. Love the wayt hem binded over their kids. Here’s hoping for a Brady partnership here. Many thanks for this delightful tale. Your Loyal Fan.
I’m already in love with this cute story, it’s really captivating…..but don’t you let Dana get any ideas about the new hot mom LOL. Liked the reference to Flashdance and LOL @ Tinas slip about that being a hot movie :o)) B&T are already colleagues and have started being friends….when are the becoming lovers Ally??? Great story
Nice “Flashdance” reference! lol I was reading and thinking, “Oh no Bette’s gonna fall for Dana.” Well a little fun wouldn’t hurt as long as she and Tina end up together. ;)
Good chapter. Dana can tell Tina about Bettes wife and let see Tina help Bette get better!!!!!!!!!!!
