Fit for Battle
”I didn’t see anyone else at the club, did you?” Tina asks.
”I saw no one else while we were there except, Alice.” I stop pacing as a clammy chill creeps up my spine. ”Tina,” I ask deadly serious, ”Alice wouldn’t, would she?”
”Noooo! I can’t imagine it, Bette. And don’t call her up and accuse her, or even ask. There’s something called metadata linked to everything posted. Ask Joyce’s forensic guys. They’ll know what it is and how to understand it.”
”Well, I know what it means in Latin. It means ”beyond the facts” and if it can lead me straight to the little motherfucker that’s doing this then it’ll be supra-data.” I lean over my desk and make a note, ”metadata” and then stash it in my purse.
”Bette, I’m walking into a meeting, the first Table Read with the cast, and of course, Jenny’s here.”
”Does Kate come to things like that?” Bette asks forgetting her other concerns for the moment.
”Kate’s not here.”
”Good. Goddamn this mess. Okay, okay, bye.”
Shaolin Studio Back Lot – Tina
As I hang up the phone with Bette I see how many text messages and emails I’ve got to answer. Things are starting to pile up on me and it worries me that Angelica has had nothing but stressed out Moms for the last few days. Oh, I’m so fucking kidding myself. It’s been for her whole short life! It never stops and for the next thirty-three days of production I can’t see myself being chilled out anytime soon. Maybe when Bette goes to Big Bear with Jodie. Maybe then I’ll have a day with Angelica and can swim and lie out by the pool. Even two hours would be welcome. Just two hours of not being around nearly hysterical, overly stressed, head-tripping women. Jenny has taken me over and beyond my limit.
I see one of my texts is from her new assistant, Adele, who’ll be worth her weight in gold if she’ll keep Jenny from disrupting my life even more.
”Pls U be there in 15 with Jenny. C U South Lot conference room.” I text Adele as I walk down the long line of production trailers and nod and wave good morning to the growing numbers in our movie crew. I think about Bette taking off soon for Big Bear. A weekend trip I do and don’t want her to take.

Got to love Joyce as she “reJoyces” in Bette’s misery!! Lol!! Awesome chapter!! ;)
Tension heating up! Lots of memories swirling for Tina. I hope she can get her head around her feelings for Bette. Is Bette thinking similarly of Tina when not swarmed with gossip? Maybe her weekend in Big. Bear will help shed some light for her that Tina is the only person for her. Love the writing! Thank you!
I really love your stories and the way you write. and I must say it was a good chapter.
I need an oil picture of Bette ;)
Tina totally confused in her feelings toward Bette. and this is what I hated the show as well. because postpartum depression could not be explained with this.
There were times when I just yelled in myself that, “they have a decision, they want each other or not” :)
If Tina wants Bette back, she should be honest with herself and to Bette.
maybe afraid from the love, but I think, to live in limbo much worse :)
I’m looking forward to the next chapter!
Joyce is a hoot. Poor stressed out Bette. Loved it, thanks
This chapter was outlandishly wonderful. Jane Lynch was perfect in the role of Joyce Wishnia. Bette never wanted to go to Big Bear w/Jodie. She probably realized that Jodie was not a good fit w/her. She so badly wanted to succeed in one personal relationship that she tried to give up her core values to mold herself to Jodie. Didn’t work and really never had a chance. Tina’s the one, the only one for Bette. Bette was outrageously great as she blew her cool while speaking to Tina and James. Terrific chapter.
Brilliant! What more can I say? Brilliant!
Bette the matchmaker? …:p classy!
