Bette looks at her and frowns.
(Bette) What are you asking me?
Tina looks at her for a moment.
(Tina) Would you rather her?
Bette leans her head to one side as she takes her in, and Tina shrugs.
(Tina) Am I a consolation prize?
Bette smiles and looks downwards and Tina watches her and waits for her response. After a moment Bette raises her eyes to Tina’s.
(Bette) Angie said something to me when I asked her about that day you spent together, when she skipped school
Tina frowns, confused by the shift in topic.
(Tina) What did she say?
Bette continues looking at her.
(Bette) She said she just wanted you back properly, but it was nice to pretend for a while
Tina looks down and smiles, and Bette pulls her in closer. Bette reaches up and holds her hand to the side of her face, and Tina raises her eyes and meets her gaze.
(Tina) And that’s how you feel, is it?
(Bette smiles) Yes
They both take a breath.
(Bette) The time I spent with her was wonderful, and it made it clear to me what I want
Bette slowly shakes her head.
(Bette) But it’s not her
Bette smiles and holds her gaze.
(Bette) I want you
Tina takes a breath and looks back at her.
(Bette) All of you. Every last bit of you
Tina smiles as she listens.
(Bette) And all our history and all the damage and all the baggage. I want all of it. I want for us to have gone through all of that and still look at each other and choose to be together
Tina examines her as she takes this in.
Bette smiles.
(Bette) OK?
Tina smiles back at her and nods.
(Tina) OK
Bette wraps her arms around Tina’s waist, pulling her closer and kissing her. They draw back and Bette smiles at her.
(Bette) You know, your jealousy is really next level these days, even jealous of yourself now
Tina smiles and slaps her arm as she goes to move away, and Bette smiles back at her as she pulls her closer again. Tina leans her head back and smiles as Bette kisses up her neck and to her jawline.

Such a wonderful and creative story. The sadness comes from the situation. You have captured their feelings so well, Tina’s past self was able to articulate her present self so well. And Bette, well, what a difficult situation and what a realization that she came to thanks to the past Tina. Bette needed the motivation the understanding to fight for the present Tina and the past Tina reminded her so well of their love for each other.. Enjoying this story very much, cant wait for the final chapter and what you have for us next.

A most creative and credible story written about the background of the split and reconciliation of this couple, notwithstanding the magic of hypnosis :) Eager for the finale, and hopeful to find what you may next craft after tales of a multiverse, travelogue, DC politics, and a blonde sitting at the bar (!)
Very nice first date after finding out that Tina remembers. Tina’s suspicion of that Bette loves the old Tina verses the now Tina seems strange in a way but normal in another. Strange in that both are the same person. Normal in that the 2002 Tina was the original that Bette fell in love with many years ago and the now had much different experiences. Bette’s response was absolutely perfect.
I am a little concerned about these two in that they still need to sort through all the baggage and determine what needs to be addressed and what has been resolved. There are still residual feelings and obstacles which need to be resolved. It is obvious that the want to get back together, But a few romps in the hay will not resolve everything. It will take time and communication and understanding to put that to rest and move on with their lives.
Good story… look forward to the next (final) chapter.
Hi katynd. Thank you for this very unique story. It was very well-written and entertaining. I did feel heartbroken for Bette in the previous chapter after she visited Tina at work and she was so dismissive and acted as if she didn’t remember. I’m glad you turned it around in the next chapter that she was faking but still it was cruel. I was thinking it would have been nice for Tina to write Bette a letter while she was her 2002 self so that in the case she didn’t remember at least Bette would have known that the feelings were genuine and what Tina felt and said in her 2002 version was real. Anyway you did a great job in their conversations, expressing their feelings and working their way back together. It was a nice way to end it and looking forward to the final chapter.
