“Because most things have got a deadline of this term – Dana also said she has a huge maths project that she hasn’t finished – she was supposed to do that over the Easter holidays “
“And she went to Europe with Shane “
“Exactly “
“So – what has this to do with us?”
“She is our friend and we need to help her “
“Helena is my sister “
“So you can only help one person?”
“No “
“So – we have to see what we can do for Alice “
“Alice has spent the first term insulting the two of us. She was the one who bet Helena that she couldn’t get you into bed. She “
“NO “Tina pointed at Bette “Do not start Bette. Alice for all her flaws is our friend. Do not blame Alice for getting Hel into trouble – she got herself into the mess she is in because of her own actions. We have to be loyal to our friends “
“What about your loyalty to me “
Tina stood up “If that means what I think it means you are in so much trouble “
Bette got up and picked up her running shoes
“I need a bath – we’ll talk later “
“If you are going to be an ass don’t bank on it “
Bette walked out of Tina’s room – she reached her own door just as Tina slammed her own door shut. Tina was frustrated – how could Bette be so freaking stubborn? How could she refuse to help Alice? Was Bette right that her loyalty should be to her and Helena?
Tina grabbed her boots and pulled them on and collected her wallet and headed out to get some space. She walked around for an hour before deciding that she fancied some beer and some food. After collecting a four pack of beer and a pizza from the shops she headed back to the house. She turned the TV on and lay back sipping beer from the can and eating pizza
“Hey “Helena came into the room
“Hi “Tina didn’t take her eyes from the TV

Another great chapter.
Holy crap, now Peggy has all but annointed Tina as her successor, which just might make both Helena AND Bette jealous of her! Weren’t they just talking about how comparisons could strain relationships? Oh, Peggy. So Helena’s father was Rory Peabody? Jesus, try to say that name 5 times fast. Rubber baby buggy bumpers.
Hm, I like that every argument isn’t the end of the world for them now. They’re maturing. And I hope Bette does help Alice… that girl needs all the help she can get, and her friend can at least help her to hone her book smarts, since she’s seriously lacking in every other sort of sense. Tina as mogul-in-the-making? That works for me. So did this chapter. Thanks for the post, ally.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! Melvin trying to steal a duck. XD I still have the image of a young Tina pigging out on chips, pizza, and beer. It’s so adorable.
What no AYNIL for a few weeks? That’s crazy, but I do love all your stories and can’t wait to see what you come up with next. Thanks for posting so much!
well funnyone i cant say it 5 times. my tongue would get in a knot. thanks ally. tina may have all she can handle being the queen bee. hopefully it wont go to her head.
Another excellent chapter indeed, Ally. Loved it. Oh, and glad to hear that Tina really has a taste for fancy Cuisine !! Hehehe !!
Wonderful chapter, Ally. Tina seems to be exactly what the Porter/Peabody family needed. I’m bummed about the AYNIL hiatus though… love that one.
Great chapter Ally! I’m glad B&T made up, but who could resist a naked T with perfume on her neck. Not me! I think Peggy might ease up on Helena now that she talked to Tina. PPS!!
I don’t know whether to be happy that you will post 1 or 2 chapters a week of your other two stories or sad that there will be no AYNIL for a few weeks. Probably both but take your time I wouldn’t want you to get burned out with either story.I am glad Peggy spoke to Tina maybe now she can see that she was a little hard on Helena. I don’t think Bette or Helena particularly want to go into the family business so thank god for Tina and I don’t think there will be any jelalous feelings behind it either. Post when you get a chance.
Kind of bummed about the break from AYNIL, but as long as you keep writing I guess it’s okay. Love your stories.
How can you write three stories at once and do it so well? You are amazing!
Peggy is astute and recognizes the same in Tina
Hello Ally, I do lvoe all of your wonderful writng. AYNIL holds a special place but I am happy to follow your muse wherever she heads. I do love this tale as it reminds me so much of my own university days. Not as how drama but a helluva lot of fun. Loved this Tina centered chapter. First her disagreement with Bette was valid and indictive of their characters, Both are loyal to friends and family. I do think the events of the day were wearing heavy on Bette’s shoulders which caused her defense of Helena to the exclusion of her friends. There are times where you have to choose you you help and yes, family will come first but thsi isn’ t one of them. It will just take some careful planning to help Alice through this tough time. I really adored Tina and Helena’s sofa chat. The pizza, beer and potato chips were the perfect addition to an intense conversation. The alcohol loosen their ktongues just enough to reveal a little more about their inner thoughts and feelings. Tina is the center ground for both Helena and Bette. Then the make-up scene was hot. I do hope that Tina gets Bette to break her revision plans for some steamy and sexy loving. Am sure Helena would be rolling in the aisles then. Good to have Tina’s rational side show Bette the error of her ways and re-inforce the love and committment that they share. One has to remember that this is Bette’s first love affair and she was a very introverted and cloistered person before Tina’s influence. Good to see that she didn’t run away and accepted Tina’s good sense. Loving someone does not mean that you always agree with them but does mean that you stop and listen to what they have to say. Then you discuss the merits and pitfalls of both sides and come to a common understanding or agree to disagree. It is communication that is important and Bette and Tina have it in spades. Just adorable. Then the finally joy was Peggy and Tina’s talk. Peggy accepts Tina completely into the fray. By tellling Tina her plans Peggy is putting the responsibility squarely on Tina’s shoulders. Peggy knows that Tina has her own mind but also holds a special place in both her daugthers’ hearts. Tina is smart and shrewd (two things which Peggy holds in high regard) but independent enough to tell the truth without inflaming the situation. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you pour into these stories. Your magical and moving melodrama makes my day every time I read a new chapter or reread it. Thank you so much for all that you are and all that you do. Your Loyal Fan.
Good chapter and Im with OneStorm1 and let see more, thanks!
Good thing Bette and Tina made up, but I agree w/ Bette that her loyalty (and Tina’s) should be to Helena. You can’ty help someone who doesn’t want to be helped and Alice has done nothing but give Bette a hard time so I can see why bette’s focus would be on her sister. Hopefully Tina’s heart to heart w/ Peggy will help peggy to lighten up on Helena. And Tina is right, if Peggy keeps throwing Bette’s accomplishments in her daughters face she is going to cause a serious riff b/w the sisters and that would truly be tragic. PPS! And why no AYNIL??? I love that story…….WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Great update Ally. Thanks
mmm peggy has just named her successor; mmmm what will that mean for H and B?Hope u r doing fine.
