“Tell the difference between us, silly” cut in Estelle, shooting her sister a look. Helena had obviously taken to the room, and her wonderment was apparently becoming harder to conceal. From her seat near Tina, Estelle could see that Bette had instinctively kept away from Tina’s personal space and was standing by the window, following Helena’s movements with interest.
Bette now spoke up, smiling “Maybe you should make use of that tattoo, seeing how effective that was in telling the difference”
“Hah! No way I’m flashing my bum every time I see Tina, just to prove there’s no tattoo there…” laughed Helena.
“Mmm, I’d do it” added Estelle flirtatiously, making Tina blush
“Oh I bet you would” retorted Helena and Bette at the same time. They shared shy smiles before quickly busying themselves with something or other.
Clearing her throat, Bette said “I have a question. Why are you still hiding that there’re two of you here?”
“Because Bette” enunciated Estelle haugtily, “as far as the Peabody companies know, heading this branch in West Hollywood is the very much qualified Helena Peabody. My field is different, I tend to handle the legal side of the Peabody Estate back in London”
“But the employees need not know” responded Helena.
“Yes but the point is, the work means that I’ll eventually have to go back. So it makes sense to not rock the boat so much- at work, among friends- when I’m leaving soon”
“Must you?” asked Helena, her eyes wistful.
Estelle turned to her sister, sighing “Helena, our mother doesn’t know I even left London. The only reason she hasn’t found out is because there hasn’t been one of those lawsuits filed against us in a while”
“That is required here, as much as in London, you know. Mother can be convinced, you could convince her” added Helena, her voice a bit tense at the emphasis.
Estelle smiled at her sister softly, but still not willing to commit and get both their hopes up.
“I still don’t get why you don’t want our friends to know” said Tina. “I mean, even if you do leave, you’ll come to visit, right?”
“I suppose so, but…”trailed off Estelle hesitantly. Truth was, Estelle never returned to places…people she’d left. If there was no one there to make her take root, she never looked back. And that was why she didn’t want to let everyone know who she was, because she didn’t plan on returning to them.
Helena could see how torn her twin was about answering that question. “Shall we keep it like this then, for now? Its fun anyway, seeing how the others react to me as if they’ve known me all along” She smiled as Estelle shot her a grateful look.
Taking her cue from Helena, Bette said “Speaking of the others, I think its time we joined them…” she paused while she eyed the two ‘Helena’s “well some of us anyway”
“I’ll join you Bette” replied Helena, knowing that Estelle would like some time with Tina. With that, they both left the room to go downstairs.
Tina’s gaze followed them “They seem to get along really well, don’t they? Bette and Helena”
“They do indeed” Estelle agreed before asking cautiously “Is that a problem?”
Knowing the implied meaning of the question- that she was being asked if she still wanted Bette- Tina paused and thought for a while before answering. “No. I just hope she’s happy”
Estelle let out a breath she didn’t realise she’d been holding “It’s definitely over?”
“Definitely” Tina glanced over the room “I’ll be moving out soon, while Bette’s at that Senate Congressional Hearing this weekend”
“Really? In Washington DC?” Estelle’s question received a nod, and she smiled to herself. My my, what a coincidence…or Fate, perhaps. She wondered if she should tell Helena that while she would be in Washington trying to catch up with Winnie and the kids, her beloved Bette would be there as well. Knowing those two, they’d probably find each other…and fireworks will ensue. God, I hope we’re all ready…

Let me find out they are gonna start double dating. So will Tina go with Estelle? Please post soon.
I don’t know who’s funnier; Helena and Estelle or Bette and Tina. The comedic twins are a riot; both vying for the attention of either Bette or Tina. While at the same time, I don’t EVER recall reading a story in which B & T had a pleasant break-up. Looking forward to your next chapter. Did someone say double date? OMG!! If that should happen, there will be no way, just no way I tell you, that I could read this anywhere but home. Too much laughter will make my co-workers think I’m not doing a damned thing!!

Was catching up with this one after my holidays. I don’t know why, but this story is for my brain the most challenging thing I’ve ever read in thefanfic section. I really really like this one, it’s so full of humor and plot wendings that I can hardly keep up with it. And then again all those cliffhangers, girl you’re wearing me out. Now I can’t hardly wait for the next chapter, sure hope it will come very soon. If it was for me, you win the next “Best Humor -Laffing Like A Loon Award-“.
