April 1999
"I’m sorry, what did you say?" Bette asked, her eyebrows slanted at the innocent ticket agent.
The representative swallowed hard in response to the brunette’s searing look.
"Uh, the flight is completely booked…I can offer you stand-by, but the chance is slim…" The gentleman began, fidgeting with the keyboard as he spoke so as not to meet the brazen eyes of the brunette.
"Bette…it’s fine…" Tina smoothed her hand over the brunette’s arm, hoping to discourage Bette from killing the messenger. "I can just get a later flight…maybe a different airline…" Tina began, her tone instantly calming to the brunette.
Bette looked to Tina, her eyes heavy with disappointment. "No…I won’t go without you…" Bette whispered quickly before returning her attention back to the attendant. She realized she would have to try a different tactic.
"I’m sorry…I just…what did you say your name was?" Bette began again, her sweet tone throwing off the now nervous representative.
"I…my name is Thomas…" The gentleman began, clearing his throat.
"Thomas…listen…are you certain there is absolutely no way we could possibly find an empty seat for my…my partner…uh, my business partner….we really have to do some work to attend to during the flight…and going without her just won’t do…you understand, don’t you?" Bette gently batted her eyes, her smile ravishing.
Tina smiled despite herself listening to the brunette sweet talk her way onto a booked flight. She was, however, very convincing, and by the look on the gentleman’s face, she just might get what she was after.
"I do understand, ma’am, and I wish I could help you….I really do." The gentleman was sincere in his apology, still quaking a little from the brunette’s strong presence. He looked quickly to his left, then to his right before motioning for the brunette to come closer.
Bette smiled hopefully and arched her eyebrows in anticipation as the ticket representative quietly offered her a slim window of opportunity.
"Listen…the very best I can do is bump her up to the top of the stand-by list…she might have some chance of boarding being number one…but, that’s the best I can do…" He offered, revealing the only realistic option at the time.
"That would be much appreciated, Thomas. Thank you." Bette nodded, knowing this was the best she was going to get. The ticket representative released a puff of air, happy to finally have partially satisfied the brunette. He presented each woman with their respective documents as he pointed them up the escalators towards the terminal. "Good luck, ladies…" He nodded thoughtfully.

Can’t they just take the next available flight? Oh well… I hope your work life will suck less and less in the coming days, firestarter. Thank you for writing and posting this update despite your real-life hurdles. Be well and happy… :>
This is exciting..I find myself leaning forward in anticipation whenever Tina is called to the podium..
Hahaha…I knew it…Bete’s not above bribery. She’s going to make an offer to the person who gives up there seat to Tina. Now what could it be…money…a personalized tour of Alphaville by one Tina Kennard?????? I’ll have to tune in tomorrow for the answer! Great update Fire. You may be swamped, but you are definitely still ablaze with this story!
Bette taking over the microphone is hilarious–I bet people will be stepping up left and right now.
Sorry work has been such a drag for you, luckily, this story hasn’t!!!
She will have an enpty airplane for her and Tina,we know she can work a group of people.
If we volunteer to help out with your pesky work requirements, would we get longer chapters? Cos if that’s the case, you’ll get more volunteers than Bette :D
