London calling
Through the faraway towns
***
Bette, Alice and Shane arrived on a foggy Thursday morning in London. Alice immediately wanted to go to Whitechapel, partly on account of the fog.
“Why the fuck do you want to go to Whitechapel, Alice?” Bette was perplexed.
“Because, then we can find Helena and solve the identity of Jack the Ripper all at once.” Alice looked all around her, moving in a circle, trying to figure out how to get to Whitechapel.
“I want to go to the place where they hung people.” Shane was being equally morbid. “You know, that tower thingy.”
Bette sighed. Was this what life with teenagers was like? She was glad in that moment, that she only had one child. Though, Helena’s children came to mind a lot these days. She had an image of herself with three teenagers, or more even, wandering through large cities throughout the world. They would want to see the morbid tourist destinations while she would want to see art galleries. The thought made her smirk.
“Guys, we’re here for Helena. We have to find her, somehow, and I think we should be as meticulous as possible. She could be anywhere, though Winnie did seem to think that she’s staying in one place, so that will make things easier for us.”
Alice was thinking hard. She knew, she sensed that they would find Helena. It was only a matter of time. Best to become acclimatized to the city in the meantime. It would help their chances. Perhaps they should listen to some Spice Girls, eat some fish and chips, read some magazines about the Royal Family. When she spoke out loud, Bette and Shane were united in their perplexed silence. They decided to eat some lunch and read a few maps instead.
They spent the next five days wandering through parks, eating in pubs or takeout near the river. They checked every coffee shop they could find, hoping against hope that they would just catch Helena by chance one day. Within a couple of days, they split up to make the search easier and more effective. In the meantime, they stayed in a hotel with a lovely view of the city.

i just love helena and bette… they should get together in the show, just like you just wrote :-)
aw, hb, this is great, just loved it – the whole chapter, I love that they’re in London, just really beautifully written, thanks xx .. oh and pps?
Lovely reunion scene … yummy and tender, with Alice to provide comic relief as only Alice can do. And the Clash and evil Starbucks, too. Thanks!
Evil, unethical, AND they burn their roasts. But the Clash is beyond reproach. So, London is still full of anarchists and anti-Christs. Somehow this is not a surprise. But I was shocked, shocked I say, at the thought of Helena climbing a tree. Your Alice was extremely Alicy in a sweeter way than we’ve seen her on the show in sometime, it was nice to see. You’ve already heard my concerns about hygiene, so I’ll forgo further comment about sex in public restrooms.
To feel the connection to the woman she loved. That line alone made this story perfect. I love this story! I love the interaction between this group of friends. Their loyalty to each other is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting so soon.
Close your eyes and think of home. That being Helena of course. Thank you! I wanted Bette in London and what do you do? Bring the whole damn gang! Alice was spot on in this. I love the Helena/Alice friendship and it shone right through in this. You’re writing in such a pleasure. I wanna go out and download The Clash right now, London Calling. Great. Do we get sex in the next chapter? Please? Pretty please? And death to Starbucks. Preach it Alice! PPS.
Finally!!! I caught up with the story!! I’m liking so far and I also enjoyed the lil’ snog that happened in the restroom, but I wouldn’t want to do that either..lol Oh well–you’re doing an amazing and I can’t wait to see what happens next with this two beautiful ladies, but don’t keep me waiting!!!
Yay! They found her! What great freinds Helena has. I love Alice. She’s so damn cute and quirky. And there were some very nice moments between Bette and Helena. My favorite? The part where Bette ran her finger down Helena’s nose (I freaking love that woman’s nose!). It’s such a sweet, little gesture of affection. Oh yeah, and the sex was very nice, too. Short, but nice. More soon, please?
The Clash
wtf??? why doesn’t my comment appear? i wrote a longer one not just ‘The Clash’ :((((( Anywas, I’ll say it again: The Clash combined with Helena and Better and with a bit of Alice makes the recipe for the perfect chapter. And I also wrote that you should kick the others back to the states to let Be&Lena have some fun >:)
oooo i do love london and im from the uk myself…haha why do they love the word twat?that amused me and how helena says knackerd is fabulous its so fuckin hott :)
