“Do what?”
The tall woman slipped into the empty chair that Marian had abandoned. “Defend me right after we’ve been in an argument with each other.”
“They’re not related.”
“Still.”
“Still, nothing. And you were overreacting about Preston.”
“It’s just… difficult.”
Tina placed a hand over Bette’s. “I know. I screwed up. I realize that. But don’t you think it was difficult for me to see you with Jodi?”
“I thought you were happy for me. You gave me dating advice.”
“Yeah, I did. Because I wanted you to be happy.”
“And I realized that what I wanted I’d never have with Jodi.”
The admission made Tina smile. “Just so you know, I’ve never even thought of being made happy by Preston.”
“I’m just a little shaky about where we are.”
“If it makes you feel any less shaky,” Tina lowered her voice, “he’s a little suspect in terms of the whole heterosexuality department.”
“Really.”
“A man in his late 30’s. A good catch, as they’d say. Unmarried. More at home with the older ladies than the guys at the bowling alley.”
“Point taken. I’ve just accused you of taking up with the town’s confirmed bachelor.”
They sat in silence for a moment, before Bette again spoke up. “So, where’s our cutie?”
Tina gave Bette’s hand a squeeze, and looked back over her shoulder. Marian was down the hall, holding Angelica, pointing out pictures. “Getting introduced to the rest of the family, it seems.”
Tina stood up, taking hold of Bette’s hand. “Let’s go exploring.”
“Are you sure?”
“We can see what artifacts of my high school years remain.”
They progressed up the stairs, careful to make as little noise as possible.
Traveling a well-remembered path, Tina opened a door to what was once her bedroom. “Wow.” She looked around. “It’s so different.”
“What did you expect?”
The room had been set up in a very neutral style as a guest room. No indication that anyone had ever inhabited or personalized the space remained.
Bette walked closer to Tina, whispering into her ear. “Did you think she’d leave it as a shrine to the memory where her cheerleader daughter lost her virginity to the captain of the football team?”

pseud, so good to have you back! Another brilliant installment, and I love how you described the “dream.” Turning off the stove? Very nice touch. :)
Hey great to see your post. Still enjoy reading this story. Looking forward to more when you can.
Please don’t disappear for so long again! I love this story and the playfulness between Tina and Bette.
Welcome back and I hope that you will be able to continue to bring this entertaining story to light. Interesting scene with Bette and Tina in Tina’s old room talking about Bette’s dream that actually took place in the show. I wonder if one of them went back to the kitchen and turned the fire off before the house burned down.
This story is fantastic. The subtleties and nuances of their relationship and history really shine in your writing, as usual. Thank you for posting another chapter.
good to have you back, pseud. i think alot of us really wanted Bette to turn off the stove! please post update soon.
Great to see you found the time to write. I’m quite fond of this story and am looking forward to more. Maybe sometime you can explain who was watching Angelica during the Breast Cancer Pink ride. ; )
well at least someone saved the stir fry this time. LOL
Pseud, your writing is masterful, and this remains one of my most adored stories on the site. Thanks so much for this installment, I look forward to seeing what happens next!
I don’t know, why shouldn’t the kitchen blaze as brightly as the bedroom?
that last sentence put a smile on mine and everyone else reading… please let the night go fast and angie sleeping soundly… PPS
clever…made me want to re-watch 506, which i did :)
A beautiful surprise, it is alsways so good to see a post from you…..top notch as always. Tina’s mom seems to be thawing slowly..Thank you
pseud, glad you came back. At least you let us know Bette turned off the stove. Love they way these two are interacting with each other, can’t wait for the next update, hopefully we won’t have to wait as long, but will be here either way.
Thank goodness you brought yourself and the story back! I loved the update and how you blended her dream into the story. I hope Angelica is conveniently taken care of soon… I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you find the time to post another update.
Brilliant, I’ve missed this story. Please don’t make it too long before your next post!!!
thanks for the update!!! Loved it!!
I’m always happy to see a post from you. Please come again!
Pseud, I miss you when you’re not here. Great update, I love the way you had Bette and Tina talking with each other. Fabulous just fabulous!
And a great story continues…I do understand being challenged in finding time to write, but whatever you are able to make time for is always appreciated!
That was wonderful, please more, thanks!
I am glad that bette and Tina are not holding grudges. Love how you incorporated the shows path as the dream in your story.
Is it too early to start nudging you again?
tease, tease, tease…
i think they should role play this dream. :)PPS
Love this story Pseud!! Hope to see the next chapter soon
that was great! and yes welcome back! and here i was thinking id never read your stories again. you’re one of the site’s best!
omg..I just caught up.. haha what an amazing story and this chapter was insane! Angie is so cute with her ‘no’s’ Bette and Tina are also cute (but when aren’t they) and Tina’s mother…GGRR I could seriously hurt that woman. Wonderful..PPS
I am not one to nudge too hard, cos that’s just… let’s just say I haven’t the slightest right to go there. That said, I’m bloody pleased to see another post from you, pseud. I’m hoping the teasing is a sign of things to come… and I hope Angelica bridges that chasm that still exists between Marian and Tina. Small steps, I guess. Glad to have you back, and post when you have time. Thanks
thank you for a great way to start/end/continously a monday. though im not fond of dreams of late, i enjoyed this one. thanks for taking the time.
Hmmm… That dream sounds familiar. I think we’ve all seen it a thousand times before. But Bette’s dream in this chapter is far better because she had the presence of mind to turn off the stove. LOL! Huge thanks, pseud!!! :>
Hey Pseud, Wonderful to have you back and posting more of this favorite and much loved tale. AWesome, how you got OMFG 2 into the play. I could just imagine Tina’s facial expressions as Bette open up her heart and showed Tina her real self. The love between them just glistened like the stars at night. Shining examples of what dreams and hope can achieved. Just perfection is too short a post. More please. Many, many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Good to have you back and with such a great post. Been waiting for another chapter of this story. They need to be sure someone is taking care of Angie overnight and get on with the re-telling of this dream. Great update. PPS
