“You know, this is my place. How was I supposed to know that you’d be trying to hide things from me, Dana. I think that’s what you’re pissed about.”
Dana grabbed her keys and wallet from the nightstand. Alice watched her in desperation. “Dane, where are you going?”
“Home. My place. Away from you.” Dana was gone and two seconds later she heard the door to her apartment slam and then lock in place.
“Shit.”

“Ms. Peabody, you can’t run it like you have your Foundation.”
“Of course, I realize that. I have no intentions of doing so. The reason I called this meeting was to get information from people who have had long flourishing careers in the film business and can perhaps pass on some sage wisdom. However, I won’t tolerate being treated as if I were an idiot.”
“I was simply thinking aloud. By no means do I think of you as unintelligent.” Helena glared at him, but Jeffrey Shepard continued, “If you’re looking to diversify, you might consider publishing. Many women have success with that venture. Moving into film requires far more experience.”
Helena narrowed her eyes at him. The second he strolled into the room, she knew what she’d be up against. He was arrogant with his pot belly, chemically enhanced tan, comb-over hair and shirt opened to show off the gray hairs on his chest and two large gold chains. He wore pinky rings, too. He was appalling in the worst way. “Bullocks. I am well aware of your intent. I’ve watched you nudge one another, laugh before responding to my questions like school children. This is a fact-finding meeting. In order to find facts, one is required to question. If you and your colleagues are unable or unwilling to participate in this way, then my assistant can show you the door. Shaolin Film Studios really doesn’t need you. Do you realize how many film executives and former executives there are in Burbank?”
“Ms. Peabody, I’m trying to treat you with respect because of your mother. Peggy and I have known each other for three decades. I think she would be pleased to know that I’m involved with this project of hers.”

Just got caught up with your stsory today and it is very interesting. After reading what Amanda and B&TForever said, do you really mean there were spoilers about Tina being in a coma for all of S3, if so, that would explain a lot. Oh God, I hope that is true, maybe S4 will be about getting us back to the real loving couple. What a thrill. thanks for the post.
Please have Tina wake up and the entire 3rd season would have been a dream for all of the characters. Great story but Tina in a coma is scaring the hell out of me. Too close to the real thing for me. Please, Please let her wake up to a loving Bette.
I ran my mouse over the ‘next post by this author’ link, desperately hoping for another chapter. I love the length and denseness of your chapters. I wonder if writing them is as pleasurable as it is to read them. Does Bette ever put Angelica in Tina’s arms? I’m sure they both need the bond of touch. Thanks!
By the by, does anyone else think that Tony Soprano’s coma was an ill-advised choice? I wonder if The Sopranos has jumped the shark with that one. It better pick up or HBO will be going the way of SHO in my household – kaput! Anyone?
OMG! Your story is great, I just started chap. one today been reading the rest straight through. Alice walking in Shane’s room & seeing the handprint on Carmen’s ass was hilarious. Keep up the great work.
Sharmen is sexy. I laughed out loud when Alice saw the handprint on Carmen’s ass. too funny.
I really like your writting, but I would prefer Tina to wake up or atleast give some reaction to Bette. This must be devestating for Bette. I love Tina and Bette, and i hated what happened in season 3, but they are still my favourite. Make it all better, please!
i love this… i have said tina is in a coma… but please don’t let her stay there too long… oh and i love alice… i could just see her walking into a room… ok stop fucking… and then just sit on the bed… too funny…please continue
I understand your attempt to make since of IC’s debakle of S3, but PLEASE let Tina wake up soon. She will have a long journey as it is.
Love the way you write Sharmen, that’s one hella sexy scene! I can really picture Shane and Carmen behaving that way. HOT! Please keep it up:)
Hey great story. That´s the first chapter I´ve read of your sory and I really like it. Especially the Sharmen parts!Please go on sooon!
Your sharmen are frisky bunnies…, oh boohoo, did I say I was sorry to see jenny catch a plane?? sorry, but pls don’t bring a max into this bunch…One happy couple on the road to having more happy couples..right??? WAKE UP TINA!!!Tks Portia, love this season your creating!!!!
Portia…This is really well written. Lots of detail and description, good dialogue and the comments and tone are spot on for each character. Keep going.
i guess you’re going with the rumors that season 3 was all dreamed up by tina who was in coma…i like it…eventhough i would like her to wake up soon
This is wonderfully written. Thank you!
