    Author Notes:

    The Trick is to Keep Breathing

    "And how is it your business?" Bette seethed at Alice, thinking of new and inventive ways to make Alice suffer.

    "Well, you know, I don’t really approve, or anything, but if you decide you want to try dating TK, you both should know what the deal is, and about the competition."

    "Oh, so you were helping me out." Bette said flatly.

    "Yes! Exactly!" Alice exclaimed, suddenly relieved to be back in Bette’s good graces.

    "Giving me information, and all that." Bette continued.

    "See?" Alice beamed. "Because if you know what’s up, you’ll know what your game’s gonna be."

    "Of course." Bette said evenly.

    "I’m all about fighting the good fight, baby." Alice grinned, pleased with herself. "Now, no need to thank me…"

    "Oh, Alice, but of course I should thank you." Bette replied.

    "Nah," Alice feigned modesty.

    "So thanks, Al, for helping me out." Bette searched her pockets.

    "Losing something?" Lara asked.

    "Yeah," Bette turned back to Alice. "I’m all out of blue ribbons so you’re just going to have to live with a lifetime supply of my foot up your ass!" Bette yelled at Alice, who cowered back into her chair. "Al, are you deliberately trying to completely ruin all my chances with Tina?"

    "Look, she’s been dating, okay? And if you two decide to work this out, you’re both going to have to deal with the fact that you have been seeing other people." Alice pointed out.

    "That’s our business!"

    "But isn’t it good to know that she’s been dating men and women?" Alice asked.

    Bette’s eyes flashed with fury.

    "Not ‘good’ like ‘yay!’ but ‘good’, like now you have ammo, or a plan, or…" Alice shot Shane and Lara a glance. "Help, you two?"

    "Give her the lifetime supply." Shane told Bette.

    Alice sent her a look of loathing.

    "Did Tina tell you who she’s been dating, or did that come from Helena?" Bette grilled Alice.

    "Of course it came from Helena," Alice answered.

    ****

    "You told Alice what?" Tina shrieked at Helena, surprising the brunette.

    "Tina, it’s not exactly a secret that you broke up with Bette because of feelings for men," Helena said.

    1. You are exploring the intricacies between Bette and Tina in the most entertaining way. The conversation between Bette and Alice was really well done. Thanks so much for sharing this story, it’s great.

    3. thanks for the continual flow of chapters! I can’t quite understand what’s going on in this chapter. never been too good at reading in between the lines. am gonna re-read ;)

    4. “You told Tina what?” Bette hollered¡K “You told Alice what?” Tina shrieked at Helena… LOL at both of their reactions! I liked the parallel conversations: Bette with Alice and Tina with Helena. However, the receptions are entirely different. Helena is trying to help and being supportive of Tina, meanwhile, Alice thinks she¡¦s being helpful to Bette but she¡¦s not being supportive of Bette!! LOL. B&T are certainly still carrying torches for each other. Thanks for another wonderful update.

    6. As always, it is such a pleasure to read your tale! I’m glad that they are moving slowly and even that the friends are not thinking it is a good idea…it will make it a bit more fun later on…

    10. what i admire most about writers is their ability to capture the reactions and idiosyncrasies of people… the realism that’s portrayed. it’s like that’s how bette, tina, alice, helena, etc. would really respond and act in these situations. i’m a ‘stealth reader’ and a huge, i mean, ginormous fan of your stories. just wanted to leave a msg and tell you what a terrific writer i think you are. i enjoy reading all your fanfics immensely. they’re fantabulous!

    15. Thank you for this story. I appreciate how you are allowing Bette and Tina to really look at whether they want to be back with one another. I only wish that they can find their way back into each other’s lives and hearts.

    20. TD, Brilliant as ever. This story just oozes class. The dialogue and interplay between all of the characters is wonderfully portrayed. The words just sparkle and flow naturally from each character. And most importantly they are consistent from the players than we all know and love, namely form Season 1 & 2. The traumatic 180° changes are not visible or viable in this melodrama. A prefect present on a miserable day. Thank you. Your Loyal Fan.
