I didnt leave my comfort zone easily. After all I had a very influential position,
a lot of respect and was lauded far and wide for the job I was doing. It had even been said that it would take a
ton of dynamite to blast me out of that job as I was so comfortable doing
it. But along came this person who
actually romanced me with an idea. You
could say I was enticed by a vision. A
vision created through thoughts of love married to passion and
determination. This person inveigled me
here by using their outstanding verbal skills to draw an amazingly vivid
picture in my mind. One of selfless
action, of greater good, and even of loving anonymity.
I mentioned the power of one well motivated
individual. Well do all of you here
tonight know that you have all been influenced by just one individual and their
dream? I think that by looking at all
the smiling faces and the wonderful food that we have all enjoyed that the
effect of that influence has been a good one.
Am I right? At that place the audience laughed and some were nodding
their heads.
Well this one individual had the vision and belief that
created this foundation and is directly responsible for all of us being here
tonight.
***
Alice and Bette had both quieted down to listen as Jackie
had begun her speech. When she reached
this point the only thing Bette could think of was What is Jackie doing but
what came out of her mouth was *****.
At hearing this expletive from Bette,
saying? Bette you OK? You dont look too good.
Bette realizing she must have said something looked back at
heat burning up her neck. Yeah
Bette said back as she looked ahead, listening to Jackie talk.
took note and continued to monitor Bette out of the corner of her eye as Jackie
continued to talk.
***
Jackie continued on with her off the cuff speech. This person convinced me to take this
ride. To leave everything that was
comfortable and known to come out here and build something that could change
peoples lives for years to come. In
coming to this opportunity it has changed my life in that it has changed my
view of life. I have found by watching
this person and all the anonymous toil they put in, a re-affirmation that life
truly gives back to us exactly what we give it.
Watching the selfless devotion this person put forth to make this
foundation a reality made me re-evaluate my own life. What I have learned here will enrich my life
forever and for that I just want to take this time to say publicly that I am
truly grateful. As I know that none of
you here are even aware of the existence of this person, let me assure you now
that their vision and compassion is stamped on every aspect of this foundation. As true as it is that a ripple is created by
throwing a stone in the water, so will each of us here be that ripple as we are
influenced by the stone of the MYV Foundation.

Does Jackie know more than we do, that is, Tina won’t freak if she finds out that Bette was behind the foundation? She did mention how selfless the individual was to set up the foundation, so maybe. I like how you put the Reverend in Tina’s head to throw us off?
Great job as usual. Patiently waiting for the next installments. Thank you for giving this to us.
Damm ! Fireworks at every turn ! Love it – Hope you have fire resistant gloves on !! lol
Jwet,
I need to tell you that you have captured how I feel about this story. In Jackie’s words.
“But along came this person who actually romanced me with an idea. You could say I was enticed by a vision. A vision created through thoughts of love married to passion and determination.

I do feel that I have been enticed by your brilliance. It invades every aspect of this story and keeps bringing my back, day after day, after day. You really do put that goofy grin on my face and then make me anxious as the drama sets in. This tale is a real crowd pleaser.
Thoughts of the day:
Will Alice be doing her stand-up routine at a venue near you? When will the Basher be back? Will Bette be attending Westlemania 35? What is the cure for verbal diarrhea? Can someone give Jackie a dose? Will Bette give the game away? How will Tina react? Shunned silence or nuclear meltdown? Will Alice be on TV?
Will always back you up because I know that this tour de force comes from the heart and deserves to be worshipped as such.
As always, your Loyal Fan.
Oh that was just great i really was on the edge of my seat! as was poor Bette…lol loving it loving it thanks
Well done Jackie!
I liked her off the cuff speech, she has planted the seeds in Alice and Tina’s heads now…plenty more drama to come, well written Jwet.
Thank you.
An interesting turn! I like the idea of Bette coming clean to Tina, then she can do it on her own terms. Hum…
Alice maybesome what right in what she said but she shouldn’t have done that. Bette better tell Tina soon because it is going to come out.
Jackie, stuff it!
Alice, go suck on a grape!
Take it from someone that is in the middle of the fallout from trying to keep a secret, it is best for Bette to tell Tina what she did before she finds out from someone else. Great update.
Fantastic!! Now Tina know how much this selfless person put into it she is gonna be Soooooooooooooo impressed with Bette, she is just gonna fall in love with her all over again and again…. FAB MATE!
Great story. Bette shouold be the one to tell Tina the truth.
Great as usual, Betet should be the one who tells Tina, hopefully Tina wont be to angry, they’ll still move closer. Yep, that’s sounds like a plan :) hehe
Heh, you used the name. Priceless. I was kidding about the hurrying part. We don’t want you posting any sarcastic chapters that delay the real thing:) I love ya and this story so woo!
Alice with Dr Phill, I can see it now. Great update, I hope this get tina asking questions, and maybe bette will get to tell her before alice finds out.
Hmmm….has Jackie said enough? Or will she keep speaking?
Ooooh man Jackie has some ovaries. See Bette should just bite the bullet and tell Tina. Good Chapter!
can’t leave for the day without my fix. i just had a panic attack myself. since i read all your chapters in 2 days have never gone thru a weekend. hopefully you post on weekends or i’ll wither. loved this chapt. and no i don’t throw things. after what jackie said tina maybe miffed for a minute but she has such regard for jackie that it will have to turn out good, right, you hear me Jwet? ;-) bette needs to be the one to tells her tho.
What’s up with Jackie? She’s putting alot of pressure on Bette indirectly….or maybe it’s her way of letting Bette know that she can’t be with Tina completely and keep her connection to the MYV a secret. Hopefully she’s doing it for the greater good….in that case, “WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG JACKIE?!” :)
:0!

Great chapter. Looks like Bette better tell Tina soon. Love it.
Again simply awesome. I’ve said it before but wow if only the L Word writeds read your story. S3 would be great. And at least i got to almost throw Hell on Wheel out the window in mine. LOL…
Alice is annoying me to no end in this chapter. She cared more about herself than she did about her friends. To compromise her friendship with Bette (and Tina) for the sake of an interview with Dr. Phil? Especially knowing how much it would hurt Bette and potentially Tina to have Helena at their table. Poor form, Alice. Sometimes you simply must take the higher road.
As for Jackie. Yikes, never stray from your notes! Rambling may take out her friendship with Bette and Tina if she’s not careful.
Of course, Bette should have been honest with Tina from the get go, but hopefully Tina will see that Bette had nothing but the best of intentions when setting up the foundation.
Omg, I finally caught up…YAY!! Whew, Jackie almost gave us a heart attack, I thought she was gonna reveal Bette. Alice is an ass for letting Helena sit on the table with B&T…Helena, what a dragon…woo, you got me on the edge of my seat, please do update soon;) Thanks Jwet!
Great chapter hope Bette tells Tina befor some one else tells her. Absolutly love your story.
OH boy.. Jackie shut up!!! i dont wanna be in Bettes skin when Tina find out..she is going to freak..lol..but i hope she underestand that was for a greater good and also i hope Bette and Tina talk about their feelings about wanna be partners again… great chapter ;-)
yes I’m still alive, I know you do!!! lol thanks to you!! lol Great Jwet keep it! it’s a wonderful story to read!!!
jackie dear…do us all a favor! stop spilling out!!! are you trying to give the mighty bette porter a heart attack???lol…i wonder how long bette could keep this a secret from tina better yet from alice…hang on people we’re in for i hope not a rough ride!
Good chapter and this is gonna be fun!
