“What is it?”
“My laptop, my draft. Shit! I forgot my jump drive this morning, and I only have it saved to the hard drive and…” Tina stared with disbelief at the shattered and cracked screen. It must have cracked under the weight of her body when she had fallen backward. “Please no,” she whispered, and she hesitated over the start button.
“See if it will start,” the woman suggested.
Tina swallowed and closed her eyes, praying silently. But no matter how many times she pressed and held the button, the laptop remained black and lifeless in her lap.
Suddenly she was overcome with everything–her living situation, her inability to afford new clothes or decent food, her lost job, losing her relationship with Jaq and Nat, the woman running from her husband, Stella without water out in this heat, and all she wanted was to go to Helena Peabody’s mansion, dance and pitch her script. But here she sat on her butt in the middle of a street in a neighborhood of gangsters and druggies with her broken laptop and the latest revisions to her script lost forever. She opened her mouth like a child and bawled, “Well fuck this shit!” and then continued to cry, her shoulders shaking and her face distorted.
“No, no. Don’t do that. Please, miss. Ohhhh!” The stranger reached out and tried to pat her some place where she wouldn’t come in contact with the spray of spaghetti sauce. “Please, don’t cry. It’ll be okay. I know someone, someone who can retrieve the data from your laptop.”
“I can’t afford that!” Tina bellowed and wept louder.
“I’ll pay for it, of course. I caused you to fall. It’s my fault. Now please don’t cry. I hate to see pretty women cry.”
“It doesn’t matter. None of it matters anymore. It’s a stupid story. Jenny and Gabby and Dawn think it’s stupid. And Helena Peabody would too!”
“Helena Peabody?” The stranger cocked her head and began to smile.
“And even if I could get it back, I don’t know how to pitch, and even if I could pitch I don’t have a dress, and even if I had a dress how would I get there? I don’t have money for a taxi.”

I haven’t finished part three and have part four only outlined. I will do my best to get the next installment up by the beginning of next week.
Hi BenMac, this is a great story. I’m enjoying it a lot. Didn’t think I would when I started reading the first page of the first chapter. This chapter was a sweet one so full of promise for their futures. We understand that you have a real life with real responsibilities, so post when you can. When you told us you had more classes, etc., then you have more to do than normal so take your time, we aren’t going anywhere we shall be here when you are able to post. Don’t hurt yourself. Thanks for taking the time to post.
I liked the story so much, I wish tub at the party fall in love with bette and helena is also in love with bette bette but fall in love with the beauty of bath tub at the party and be jealous of Helena.
Oh my God, you should have seen my face when I figured out who the fairy godmother is. Haha! I LOVE it. And my little T is so cute I could hug her for hours.
Thanks for another amazing story! Can’t wait to read more.
…put them together and what have you got….?!?!!
bibbidy bobbidy boo!
Love this story. Charming!
Well, if you are going to be run over and covered in spaghetti sauce who better than our lovely Bette to do it! She is the Godmother and Princess Charming rolled into one and what a package!
Love the story and look forward to Parts 3 and 4.
Amazing story! Looking forward for the next parts.
I have been looking forward to this chapter. I loved it.
I immediately recognized the previous chapter, the story of Tina script. because it is one of my favorite stories! :)
I look forward to the next chapter.
Kinda stirring it altogether are you? Keep on sister – love your creativity!
Loved it! I got the “ella” connection to our lovely JB. Post when you can BenMac, we’ll all still be here.
Benmac, worshiping their história.Você not only has a history,
His story brings wonderful messages of love, respect
and kindness, as when Bette tells Tina about her kindness
with the old lady at the supermarket, and difficult today to see acts
goodness, because most only think and himself, and that is very sad.
And in my opinion Ella is Stella …
All stars.
Waiting ever so (im)patiently for Chapter 3. I have one complaint though; 4 chapters will not be enough and you know this, ma’am!
Ps: I always describe myself as a cynical optimist. Good to see I’m not the only one.
…Unrealistic! There was a situationist graffiti in Paris , May 1968, reading :“Soyez réalistes, demandez l’impossible”, Be realistic, demand the impossible! Go Cindertina!
Stella warning is that Tina should not believe in Helena but choose BETTE. Gotta love Shane, Max and Gus.
