She had become adept at shedding skin. But she was not a snake. She had become a chameleon. She adapted and blended well wherever she went. Portland had been a testing ground where she honed her skills. She developed and tested her new skin, meeting new and interesting people who showed her a different way to be. She met Max at the diner where she waitressed at first. Max had been the fry cook. They became friends after one drunken night when Max jokingly came onto her. Tina was surprised at the excitement she felt. After a few experimental kisses, Tina realized with some disappointment that she was not attracted to Max. Only later did she learn that her excitement was at imagining herself AS Max. That started out her experimentation with dressing in a different way than she was used to. Max gamely took her under his wing.
A year later, Tina had saved enough to start her own small business. She borrowed capital from her sister to buy a run-down bar and spent her entire savings rennovating and rebuilding it up. The gods of capitalism was smiling down on her and it took less than a year for her to turn a profit. She had started the first and only gay bar in their small town. She named it Skindeep. Tina had been naive but she knew by instinct that the banker-by-day-drag-queen-by-night, the mulleted dyke car mechanic, and Max, were HER people.
At least for a while. Eyeing the frayed edges of the bandage around her breasts, Tina wondered if it wasn’t again time to find where she were to belong.
A knock on the bathroom door and Max poked her head in. She handed Tina a pair of scissors. Tina nodded her thanks and shut the door.
She stared at herself in the mirror. Then she started carefully cutting through the tight bandage.
As the first layer fell, Tina sighed. She mentally bid goodbye to Skindeep, which she had sold a month before.
A second snip loosened the second layer. She kissed her sister and her family a fond farewell. They had taken her in and did not bat an eyelash when she started wearing men’s polo shirts instead of women’s tops. The most extreme reaction she got from her sister’s family was her 5-year old neice’s scream of delight when she came home one evening with her head completely shorn.
A third and final cut severed her from the life she had built in Portland.
She took a deep breath and allowed her chest to expand fully. She stroked the red lines that criss-crossed her breasts. She used her palms to cup her breasts, recognizing and greeting their weight with a primeval sense of pride. She looked down and playfully pinched her own nipples. They proved that they were still functioning just fine.
Staring at herself, naked from the waist up, Tina felt like she had not just loosened the bindings around her breasts. She felt the freedom that she had felt when she first moved to Portland but that the years had buried. She felt it again. She was driven to tears by it again.
Tina, it’s nice to see you again.
Tina, it’s nice to be you again.

Well, well. I’m glad Tina’s tits weren’t ruined. Judy Garland claimed hers had been by the binding she’d endured to play Dorothy. I hope she has grown up enough now to actually to actually start being whoever she is instead of swinging on a pendulum of extremes. Feeling some sympathy for Alice. As hard as it has been for Bette to lost her love in the moment it was confessed, surely it’s difficult to know you AREN’T the one. And even if Bette finally threw the letter away, that doesn’t mean that Alice’s place in her heart has changed.
Wow, just got caught up on the last few updates. Tina certainly has been on a path of self discovery and it appears to be winding all over the place. I hope she settles into herself before she meets up with Bette again. I feel for Alice too. It’s sad that Bette can’t return her love :( Please update soon, I can’t wait to see what Tina does next.
I think Bette’s going to realize, pretty quickly, that she really isn’t free to be with Alice completely, not yet. I wonder how long it’s been since Bette felt like herself? I wonder if Bette can rediscover, like Tina, how to see herself, or be herself? I hope Bette doesn’t drop Alice like a hot potato once she sees Tina again. After it’s all said and done, I hope Bette takes a page out of Tina’s book and sheds the past 4 years like an old skin, yet still salvage some sort of relationship with Alice… who’s has been, if nothing else, a really good friend to Bette by the looks of things. That doesn’t mean that Bette should stick with Alice out of gratitude for putting her somewhat back together, though. But maybe Bette needs to figure out how to be a good friend. Alice, I think, is going to need one pretty soon. Great chapter 7, I’m loving this story. Thanks :)
wow!!! yea i’m wondering about this Tina. Bette seems so sad. Alice should break up with for her own sanity and happiness. that relationship is not healthy.
All i can say is i want bette @ tina to be together….I love tibette icant help it.
That was great and now let see B&T meet again!
good god, what were you thinking bette? Alice, of all people! I feel for you, i see blood empty bottles and roll after roll of tear and snot-stained tissue in your future. It’s the devil and the deep for bette and we’re in for one hell of a ride. I’m so excited. Go team tibette!
OMG, living as a butch bar owner, how interesting that could have been. I wonder if she found someone to date other than Max, of all people. How in the world will Bette take this Tina. She is in for the shock of her life. She should never taken up with Alice, unless this Alice is very different from the one on the show and other stories that have her as a nosey, big mouth. Can hardly wait. Thanks for posting.

my tibette heart is getting the better of me. If i were sane and sober i would want bette to end it with alice for both their sakes, find closure with tina, and be single for a while. Tina seems not so taken with bette anyway in the way that bette is with her, or at least with bette’s 4-yr-old idea of her (good pt, dainty). Tina will survive the disappointment. Or is she even expecting to find bette waiting for her after all this time? I am afraid for bette if she does go after tina again. Who knows how long tina intends to live as a chameleon? Er. She did go from straight to bicurious?femme to butch and now back to femme again. I mean, when will the wardrobe changes end! I am however drunk on bette and tina so i say bring on the tibette!
wow, tina just keeps me guessing at every turn…so happy she’s not transitioning, can’t imagine her as a man LOL and can’t see Bette with Alice either…i will read wherever you will take us…though still hoping for happy TiBette at the end (i’m a hopeless tibetter)
What an interesting update. Thank you.
