"So what would do you want to be different in your next relationship?"
"I haven’t exactly come to the conclusion that I want a next relationship." Tina answered, more honestly than she planned.
"Don’t talk crazy, Tina. You’re young, you’re beautiful, you’re funny, well sometimes funny. Funny isn’t your strongest quality, but its there sometimes. Anyway, you’re not going to stay alone forever."
"I have for five years. What makes think that will change?"
"Because you’ve finally moved on. You let go of the ghost of Bette and Tina. With that, you can have a ‘fill in the name’ and Tina."
"So I’m looking for a fill in the name." Tina joked.
"Cute, T. Seriously, what do you want to be different? What’s going to make you happy? Give me ideal situation."
"Ideal situation." Tina bemused, "I haven’t let myself think about ideal situation in a long time."
"Well think about it now." Alice pushed. "Just list off the things that you think you want."
"OK, first let me refresh the glass. I think better with wine!" Tina got up and refilled her glass and Alice’s with that was left of the mini bottles. "We better savor this, it’s all we have left." She said, lifting her glass to toast with Alice.
"So what do I want? I guess I want an actual partner this time around. Bette’s a handful and she doesn’t do equal well, it’s a part of her charm." She said, a knowing grin forming.
"I also need a family person. A real family person. I have Cara to think about now and whoever is around me, is around her, so she needs to love her. I also want someone who can let me care for them as much as she cares for me. Someone who can let me be there for her. Again, not a strong suit of Bette’s."
Alice sat quietly, listening to Tina’s wish list, conscious that it seemed to be getting easier and easier for Tina, the list kept rolling out.
"It sounds like I’m trashing Bette, I’m not, really, Alice, but I loved her so much I could see past her faults. And if I do meet someone new, I don’t want to have to over look so much next time. All that I overlooked in Bette, seemed to take a piece from me."

Lucia, you deserve a round of applause for continuing this story since its debut in April, 05. I, for one love this story and am thrilled to know that you will are working on an ending. Great scene with A & T trying to fish out each other’s story over drinking. I am with 25justagirl & capesquad, I would rather see T ending up with “Juwia” just because Julia had shown her constant love and support to T & Cara. Plus T had already said that B did not do equal well. To me, in this case, J & T were better fit. Back to A & D. I hope D could demonstrate to A soon that she was trustworthy and committed. Of course A’s apprehension was with merit after all the heartaches D had given A. I do not blame A for staying away to figure things out. All and all it’s a great day to see you posted. Thank you.
I am so thrilled to see a new chapter from you on this great story!! I love how you have thrown Alice and Tina together. They really are what the other one needs right now. Hopefully Alice will open up to Tina in the next chapter. If they need it, I will send them over a couple more bottles of wine. And I am glad that Dana and Julia are talking. Maybe that will help Dana understand why Alice needs a little space right now. I love that Julia was willing to call Alice back from the DC assignment. “And not for the fun use of handcuffs either” — Hee! Thank you so much for the update, lucia! And, no worries, it was excellently done, as usual!!
Wow. I had given up hope that we would see another chapter. Thanks so much for returning to share your story. Come back soon, OK?
Yay…………. you finally posted!!! I’m just so happy right now…:-D Usually, I’m firm believer that Tina and Bette belong together, but this time I want Tina to end up with Julia. I can’t wait for the next chapter, hopefully there will be more Danish… Thank you for continuing this. Maybe you’ll update “Ghost of Christmas Past” too?
Lucia posted. (does happy saturday morning coffee dance.) Tina is so adorable. Loved the description of her examining each wine bottle one by one to be sure they were empty… You’ve convinced me she and Julia and Cara belong together. Still… i’m wondering about those breakfasts at the planet with Bette some mornings…oh well, what would we do with out some ‘dyke drama’ occasionally? As for ms. Alice… she is the queen of deflection. sigh…. next chapter, right?p.s. what season 5? Was Alice in Season 5?
Wow. What did I do to deserve your story? lol… I’m so happy! I understand Alice needing time. I just wish Alice will realize no matter what happened, Dana’s heart was right there with Alice…. And I really wish that she’ll see that she loves Dana, only Dana. You’ve convinced me about Jule and Tina, seriously. =) Good job. And PPS!!
As I recollect, Lucia, I was part of the judges’ panel that awarded you a prize for this fanfic. After said prize was awarded, it disappeared, pronto. Ditto for LastKid and her fabulous “Tina, Tiny Pieces” and another fic that I loved that was a B&T detective fic. >>You know what I learned from that experience? NO MORE FANFIC AWARDS! They seem to have an inhibiting effect upon the writers. What gives? I’m glad you’re back and I hope you’ll bring Lastkid out of the woodwork with you. I really like this fic a lot and I’m glad you’ve returned to it! Thanks! BTW – I like Julia but Bette all the way for me and Tina. Thanks!
I love it! I just found your story because I just found this amazing website and I read your entire story in two days. In fact, it was very hard to do work because I wanted to read the story. Please post soon. I can’t wait!
