"Bette? Bette Porter?" Tina really had to know.
"Do I know you?" Bette frowned as the other woman came even nearer. She now stood about a meter away, her face slowly becoming clearer. Bette cursed again at herself for being stubborn and refusing to wear her glasses. She also didn’t put in her contacts, as they made her eyes itch. Now, in the face of what might turn out to be a confrontation, Bette wanted to see the face of her adversary.
Alice looked to the left when she heard the voice. No, it can’t be…
Bette tried not to be obvious as she narrowed her eyes, trying to focus them. When the mirrorball reflected a slash of light directly onto the butch woman’s face, Bette gasped softly. Alice heard, and her heart seized.
"Tina?" Bette’s question died before it could leave her lips.
"It is you!" Tina came forward, as if for a hug, then stopped herself. She stood in front of Bette, and a blond woman she belatedly recognized as Alice, Bette’s friend. She didn’t know what to do with her hands. She pushed them into her pockets.
Bette’s mouth opened but nothing would come out. At that moment, she knew that there could not possibly a more cruel world in which to live.
"Hey, Alice." Tina greeted the other woman when Bette remained silent.
"Tina. Hi." Alice felt faint. Then she was angry. Then she felt foolish. Then she was afraid.
Alice! Bette remembered with a jolt. She grabbed Alice’s hand, unsure if she did it for herself or for her lover, or for the both of them.
Alice felt Bette’s clammy hand close on hers like a vice. She was slightly comforted.
In the split second it took for Tina to glance down and notice the clasped hands, Dana appeared with a platter of chips and dip.
"Oh hey, you all found each other. Tina drove in from Portland this morning. We ran into each other earlier. She’s staying with me temporarily." Dana grinned, plowing into the palpable tension in the group.
"From where?" Bette asked sharply.
"Portland." Alice mumbled.
Her sister. Of course. Bette was angry. No, she was furious. At herself for not figuring it out, and at Tina for doing the obvious. Then she was angry again at herself for still caring.

Not liking Bette all that much? Well, at least she’s contemplating the whole issue. To be honest, who doesn’t have some prejudices of their own, some so entrenched that they go unquestioned? Personally, I’m just as confused by the femmes as I am by the butches, don’t understand a need to classify oneself as either top or bottom, but hey! first and foremost I support one living their OWN life in their OWN way. But this group has a fair amount of work left it seems.
I’m not liking Tina and Dana, they are being to conniving for me. I feel sorry for Alice, she shouldn’t give up Bette just because Tina is back.
whoa! wow! and all that!!!! But Alice is right! This is how its supposed to go. Bring it on and soon plz.
This is sad but happy at the same time, feel bad for Alice but now its time for B&T get back together and be happy, Alice and Dana can be together too. Glad to catch up with your story and please post more, thanks!
OMG! What a tangled web! Great update. Thank you.
Wow, Tina with a shaved head……icky.I’m glad Alice has Dana to turn to. Can’t wait to see what happens the next time Bette and Tina cross paths.
wow…i kinda feel sad and hopefull at the same time…this is really such a web and i hope all the characters will be able to get out of it un-hurt and happy
Noooooooo!!! That’s so mean! Darn it, 7, wrench my heart out. Deep breath. Okay. I’m okay. It’s just, that’s so much heartache right there. Dana, Alice, Bette. Especially Alice and Bette. Stupid Tina! And I’m a TIbetter, so that’s hard for me to say. PPS! And Thank you!
*sigh* Judgemental, “passing”, clingy Bette brought low with one moment of recognition. Alice, poor Alice, who’s done nothing wrong but be hopeful about her relationships within a fractured group. Dana, she’s about to get what she wants, isnt’ she? But maybe not *how* she wanted it. Time will tell. And Tina… she seems happy to take for now. Favors, (and, unknowingly) hearts. She better start giving back. We’ll see how this all turns out. To be honest… I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting patiently for this update, so hopefully the next is soon. Thanks 7! :)
OMG, it finally happened. I just can’t imagine what Bette or Tina is thinking at the moment. Hope Bette stays at the party and maybe taks to Tina when she gets back. Gosh this is just so very complicated, hope everything turns out all right for everyone involved. Thanks for posting. PPS
Please please please let them talk and sort it out! Even Alice knows she can’t compete! Thanks for posting and PPS! =)
