Chapter 13: Top and Bottom
With a little more caffeine in me and a repeated mantra in my head of how I would not let my mother get to me, I bounced into Bette’s car, finally in a good mood again. “Can we put the top down?” I asked eagerly.
“If it’ll make you happy,” Bette said, shutting the door.
“Nothing would make me happier.”
Bette flicked the button to make the top go down. “I can’t believe you’re dating me for my hot car,” she deadpanned.
“Why can’t you believe that? I’m capable of that sort of shallowness.”
Bette decided to try again in making me upset about my mother. “Ready to see Lenore?” she asked.
“Yeah,” I said as she pulled out of the parking spot. “Are you?”
“Well,” she said, putting her sunglasses on. “I like your mom.”
“That’s because you never had to live with her. All those cute little things she does that make her seem so charming? When she’s doing them 24/7, they stop being charming.”
“She must have done something right. You’re remarkably well-adjusted for someone brought up in that kind of environment.”
“I know,” I agreed. “It’s a miracle. I should be in therapy or something, but I came out all right. It’s luck, I think. Under any other circumstances, like if I was born under a different moon or something, I’d probably be this freak of nature, or worse, just like my mother.”
Bette didn’t say anything, although her smile implied that she was allowing me to rant.
“I mean, that’s why I won’t have kids,” I went on, “because like, there’s that 50/50 chance-or probably worse odds than that-that you raise a complete *****-up and then you have to feel guilty about it for the rest of your life.”
Bette looked at me quickly and then back onto the road. “You don’t want kids?”
“I am so bad with children,” I whined. “They’re like these strange little people who always say whatever’s on their mind and they drive me crazy.”
“Ah, you can’t relate with that, huh?” she asked with a smirk.
I could see she thought she was funny. “Why? Do you want kids?”

so i dont mean to sound greedy but its after 12 where i live but wondering if i can get another story before i go to bed…
Still reading, and still loving it. This chapter was great. Poor Alice.
I kinda think there was a fourth reason about their falling out, and it was the deal about wanting kids or not… I’m just sayin’!
Anyway, good job, as usual!

“Ew, I do not look like Julia Child.” Good one.
This is the funniest fic ever. Love it.
I admit I’m a little confused between the timing of Alice moving out of Bette’s, and Alice and Bette dating.
That’s minor compared to my great enjoyment of this story.
Thanks for a great read. I sure hope Alice and Bette end up together in this story.
You have nailed the character of Lenore. I can practically hear her voice with every sentence.
Did Lenore’s last sentence make Bette question the longevity of her relationship with Alice?
Funny stuff! I was laughing the whole time! Great stuff. Loved the bit of Bette/Tina foreshadowing you drop in there. I loved how you made Bette react to the parent conversation. Keep them coming =)
“Why? Do you want kids?”
She paused for a minute… she said, “Definitely. Someday.”
Tina foreshadowing, Tina foreshadowing!
You know, I could watch a whole season of just this story.
know i see why bette and alice broke up.bette didn’t do the relationship thingy to good until tina came in and just blew her mind.
