“Is she still in Kit’s office?”
“Yes,” Alice said quickly. “Now I need a favor from you.”
“Now?”
“She isn’t going anywhere,” Alice shot back. “She had to talk to Kit about something important I’m sure by the way she stormed in here.”
“What do you need?” Tina asked as she looked around to ensure Bette wasn’t leaving.
“A quick quote for the podcast. Max can film it right now and then you can run off and do what you have to with Principle Porter.”
“Make it quick,” Tina said thankful for Alice’s help and knowing she would be ungrateful if she didn’t spare Alice a few moments of her time.
Tina stood next to Alice as Max worked on focusing the camera and adjusting the lighting.
“What is the podcast on?”
“It’s a Valentine’s Day one,” Alice said with a smile. “It’s quotes and ideas on what represents true love.”
“You ready?” Max asked as Kit hurried back to her office and grabbed Bette’s hand, yanking her to her feet, and silently hurrying her to a discreet spot where she could see and hear Tina but not be noticed.
“This is Alice in Lezboland. Today our podcast is a special one, about true love, in honor of Valentine’s Day. We’re here first with Tina Kennard, and so we ask you Tina, what represents true love to you?”
Tina paused as she thought her answer out in detail. Bette’s face continued to flash in Tina’s mind, from her smiling, to the look she has on her face when they make love.
“Tina?” Alice prompted her and including a nudge with her elbow to Tina’s side for good measure.
“True love,” Tina smiled. “It’s allowing yourself to get lost with someone, just to spend time with them. It’s laughing until you cry, because you are having so much fun with that person. It’s waking up with the same person, for the rest of your life, and knowing that there isn’t ever going to be enough time for you to be with that person. “
Alice smiled at the camera, ready to break in, but Tina continued without pausing.
“True love is knowing, without asking why, that the person you’re with will love you more in a minute than anyone else could in a lifetime. It’s wanting to be wherever that person is, just because they are there. Its when anything that means even just a little to them, means everything to you because it’s them.”
Tina looked up, tears in her eyes, as her gaze caught Bette’s. Bette wiped the tears away that had cascaded down her cheeks as Tina smiled in her direction.
“It’s when you forgive yourself, because your partner forgives you, and you trust each other to know that you’ll never go back to a place where you hurt one another.”
Tina stepped out of Max’s camera angle to walk toward Bette. Alice quickly motioned for him to continue taping her, as she maneuvered her way through a small crowd to meet Bette where she stood.
“Get this,” Alice whispered to Max. “This is too good. Even I couldn’t make this shit up!”
“It’s trusting in yourself,” Tina said as she placed her hands on Bette’s hips. “To not hurt the person you love and knowing they won’t hurt you.”
Bette swallowed as Tina took her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it before allowing their hands to drop in front of them, still intertwined.
“I think I’ve got it from here Kit,” Tina said as she held Bette’s saddened gaze. “We need to talk and I won’t let you avoid it this time Bette. That’s true love.”

I love this story my friend, you are spot on
Bravo!!! This silent reader had to finally come out! I have loved all your stories since the beginning this one included. You have done an amazing job with portraying what it is that make Bette and Tina our beloved Tibette! True Love indeed! Thankyou! Keep going pls :)
you just summed up true love gumby. thank you
Were is the rest of page 5.I loved it Gumby.
So I was about to go to sleep and I checked the site one more time to see if you posted tonight. Glad I did! Great chapter, Gumby. Tina said it all, my friend. Good night! Lin
This seems so easy for you to write…yet I know it isn’t…which is obvious because IC can’t write it like this. This story and your others are a precious gift to us….thankyou.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Shit! This is so sweet :> You handled the difficult conversation about THE SCENE with aplomb and now you’re steering them to “process” what caused the downfall of their relationship and own up to their mistakes and sins so that they can start over on a clean slate. Thanks a lot for allowing Bette and Tina to grow up, Gumby! How I wish you and the other hard-core B&T fanfic writers here are part of the show’s writing team. I’m still giddy about the episode 506 too. I’ll take whatever B&T moment IC throws to the TiBette mob. But the cheating thing really puts them on a slippery slope. And I hate IC for choosing to immerse these two tortured souls into more shitty stuff. Thanks again for this post, Gumby!
That was perfect. Great chapter.
Oh God I wish tis was what happened. I love Tibette but I hate cheating. Great job in writing PPS
I am so glad that Tina found Bette! Tina’s true love comment was so beautiful and powerful. Bette needs to share her fears with Tina, it’s time they talked as Tina said.
I couldn’t resist Gumby… this is just too good not to leave a comment! Amazing story, I love the way you write… thanks for the quick post!
Gumby this chapter was wonderful just as the rest. Your description of true love was perfect. You are doing and have done such an amazing job in portraying the love our girls have for each other, even when they are not together and with someone else. This has been quite a journey for them and for us to read it and you are preparing them for their future and I know you will let us see that also. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us.
Gumby, oh Gumby, I had the pleasure of reading two chapters at once, I kniw thats cheating but I had to catch up. Your writing is so so so well sad then hard then scary than so, so tender, very passionate. This is a great story. Thank you. Md
I love this story. they are so perfect for one another. well done
Gumby–this was so sweet and touching. Thank you.
I couldn’t think of any better way to end this, this chapter was INCREDIBLE I love the way you write, wow Tina was unbelievable. To true love. Thanks Hun
I agree with you about Bette still being with jodi when she and Tina reconnected physically. I had hoped that it would have gone a different way. I prefer your story to what is taking place on the show. The physical reconnection was awesome but will ic let it last?
Gumby…that is true love! Thank you for this story…I just love Alice.
Gumby, you are one of the finest writers on this site and this is THE most beautiful Tibette story. You re truly an artist when you write about these two and the keyboard is your palette. I can never get enough updates for this story. Please post soon?
just a simple and heart felt thank you..I love this and al your other stories. You truly know this show, I only wish you wrote for it…
Tumeke!!!!
Hello G-gal, This was awesome. Good to see Tina taking the bull by the horns and hunting Bette down. Loved the sisterly discussion between Bette and Kit. These two really have bonded over the last five years. This moment showed that Kit wants the best for Bette while being ready to kick her butt into action. Tina’s declaration was perfect although don;t think either she or Bette would be happy with it being available for all the see online. These gals are more private than that. Anywho, can’t wait to read how Bette responds. More please. Much appreciation from Your Loyal Fan.
Go tina!!! finally the TALK and of course whatever else is to follow, hehe :)
WOW
awwwwwww damnnnnn IM GUMBY DAMMIT no wait IM POKEY because this shit u writing right here is all that and a bag of chips. Girl keep doing you!!!!
i’ll drink to true love!!! and i just want to add that true love is when you know everything about another person, even her darkest moments and biggest flaws and still you love all of her…and that’s what B&T have with each other, i think…i wish they would talk more on the show though :)
OMG, you made my heart beat very fast and tears in my eyes. Tina was right on that is true love. thanks HAPPY VALENTINE DAY TO YOU
I agree Gumby about episode 6. JB & LH gave themselves completely to these characters in this episode and it was sexy and hot. “Hope Alone” gives me what IC doesn’t. Your story shows that B & T have earned their second chance at true love. Great chapter. Happy Valentines Day!
Uh huh!! And what’s next? *curious* Oh KD… you romantic heart! ;) xxx
That was great!
