“I suppose we could include a brief recounting of that in the press release.”
“True.” Tina patted Bette’s hand encouraging her.” Pierce and Dani could probably find all the necessary info online to include in the release. You and I can fill in whatever they can’t locate.”
“Got it.” Pierce nodded in agreement and makes some notes on his legal pad.
“Great, but no more press conferences or debates.” Tina directed her comment towards Pierce and Dani. “You probably don’t want Bette to get trapped into a situation where she’s forced to answer questions from reporters about the incident last night, Tyler or Felicity in general. Let Dani issue any statements that you think would help. But you need to move quickly on this.”
“Dani,” Bette lookd in her direction, “Tina’s right. We’ve waited all day. Its late afternoon. I need to get into action mode. I like Tina’s ideas and they make sense. It’s a good strategy. It will deflect from the incident last night. You can draft the speech and write the press release for Kit.”
“Right.” Dani nodded as she also made some notes of her own. “I’ve already started a draft for the speech.”
“Great.” Bette smiled at Dani.
“Also, Bette,” Tina picked up from Bette’s response, “in addition to the press release, I would suggest you focus on driving attention away from Tyler and the incident from last night and instead draw attention to your proposals for homeless shelters, drug rehab centers and LGBTQ centers. Maybe Dani and Pierce could put together some visits to these sites to keep your name in the press for good works and to continue to promote your goals for the campaign. You probably want to visit a few a day up to Election Day.”
“I like that.” Bette finally smiled her famous megawatt smile at Tina. “Those are great suggestions Tina. Pierce/Dani – thoughts?”
Pierce was in agreement with Tina’s ideas and recommendations. Even amid this latest crisis, he’s been able to still draw up some new support for Bette and wants to get back to promoting her. Dani’s still spectacle. She doesn’t completely trust Tina and her sudden intrusion onto Bette’s life and the campaign is worrisome to her.
“I agree that we need to make a move and quick.” Dani stated reluctantly. “I just don’t want to be handcuffed by having everything I say or do to be scrutinized by Tina.”

Great – Tina in charge! I like alpha Tina!
But i see a huge problem in Bette’s campaign – i see all forgot that in LA lives not only members of LGBT community. I really don’t understand what Bette can suggest for majority of voters – white middle class straight people. Or latina – where agenda about immigration for them for example? Shelters, fight for LGBT – it’s not their agenda. What gay candidate can suggest for them? She wants be mayor of LA? – traffic problems, immigration problems, not enough cops in the street – this is common problems for big cities.
Hello Zhenya,
Thanks for the insight & comments.
My intention was not to remake the storyline of Bette running for mayor. As we have read, that storyline was Jennifer’s response to the election of 2016 & the unfavorable policies & views of the USA’s current administration.
The references to Bette’s campaign focus is setting up 2 events that will happenin later chapters.
Yes, the Tina in my story has a much stronger role & a bigger voice than in the OG series. She is an equal partner to Bette.
Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters!!!!
Ok, restoring previous comment
Ok, i’ll try to caught up this story, but for now i can say i like it! And without Carrie even better ????
Hi Angel,
Thanks so much for your comment.
Hope you get some R&R soon!!
Carrier – thought that storyline was just so ridiculous. They really thought we would buy that Tina divorced Bette – claiming she needed space & to find herself & then get into another quick relationship???? Poor writing on the part of the Gen Q writers.
So, I will do my best to bring us a very different view.
Be safe!!!!
Thanks
A fantastic story! And Tina is a great help for Bette, Dani better listen and learn from her.
They briefly touched why they are divorced and how they feel.
And Tina’s full name Tina Porter Kennard, is that a hint?
I really love your story!
Thank you and i hope you are able to update soon!
Stay save and healthy ????
Hi Bibi,
Thanks so much for the your interest in this story.
Yes, I felt Tina needed a bigger voice & what better way than to help Bette.
Yes, there is some foreshadowing going on!!!! Remember, this is a Tibette story!!!
More to come in later chapters about their lives in NYC & the many reasons for their divorce. Like in all their past breakups & reconnecting, it takes 2 for it to happen.
Hoping to update weekly if not sooner.
Thanks again, enjoy & keep safe!!!
Catching up !
I love this Tina! If only she had been written like this ion GenQ! I would have loved to see Laurel act this, brill
Looking forward to more
SG
Thanks so much.
I have always considered Tina(LH) to be a much stronger character than IC portrayed in OG & now in Gen Q.
She would have to be to be in a long term relationship with a strong willed person such as Bette.
Enjoy more to come
I so agree about Tina’s character. As written for the Shows she would never had been noticed by Bette.
You will realise I am now caught up so will be pressing for new posts on a regular basis :-)

Hey SG,
Heard about more postings!!!!
Will try – am on an average of posting 1 per week.
Thanks for your support.
Best regards.

Really liked your description of Kit. I’d forgotten how explicitly feminist she was about business. That’s something I will make a note of for my own stories going forward. ;-)
Your Tina / Dani dynamic has me intrigued, too. And yes, Carrie gave us all a headache! Nice job to just dispose of her, haha
Am enjoying and looking forward to more x
Hey Largo,
Sorry I missed this comment you left.
If only the sins of GQ were that easy to dispensing of Carrie – she doesn’t exist!!!!!!!!!
I have always been a fan of Pam Grier way back to the 1970’s when she was mean Jackie Brown!!!!
She’ll only be able to live on in this story through flashbacks unfortunately. She does pop up a few more times I this story – so enjoy.
Didn’t want Dani to be a potential love interest to Bette so I had to find a way to smooth her rough edges & she can learn a lot from Tibette. They are both great at mentoring others.
Take care & see you on the pages!!!
Collins
