    Pick A Part – 11

    "Because of one lapse in judgment?" Angelica exclaimed.

    Bette nodded. "Sometimes that’s all it takes, Angie."

    Angelica stared at her, as Bette turned away, her gaze someplace distant, deep in thought.

    "Mom?"

    "Hmmn?"

    "Aunt Alice said it’s genetic."

    "Yes it is, Angie. Yes it is." Bette sighed in resignation. "You’re more my daughter than you can imagine."

    Angelica frowned, not quite sure what to make of that statement, but decided to let it go. "Will I ever own a car again?"

    "Can you imagine yourself in a car as flashy as the Saab I used to own?"

    "That depends. Is the Saab mine?" Angelica knew there was no way she was going to get out of this after school special unscathed, so she figured she’d rather go down with some levity. She’d learned that from her aunts Alice and Dana.

    "Well, let’s see. Once you’ve paid back the damages to your car, at least saved up enough to deserve owning it again, and you save up some more to afford that Saab…"

    "So I’m never owning a car ever again." Angelica concluded. She sighed. "I’m destined to be a commuter."

    "Not so much. Between me and your mom, and, hey, you can always wait for Katie to learn to drive…" Bette shrugged. "Ever seen the movie Car of Death?"

    "No."

    "Really? It’s the universal opening film to every Drivers’ Ed class. I’ll borrow it for you."

    Angelica hesitated, and looked up at her MaBe. "I’m really sorry."

    "I know." Bette said simply. "Just so you know? You’re getting a job, and from now on, that’s it, Angie. Rules are rules. We’ve let you get away with a lot in the past, and I don’t think you’re ready to be let alone without supervision."

    "Mom–"

    "You’ve clearly demonstrated that your sense of responsibility and priorities leave much to be desired."

    "But–"

    Bette looked at her daughter. "Angelica, you’re grounded. You should be happy I’m not making you go through much worse."

    "Kitchen Nazi."

    "It could still be very worse." Bette pointed out.

    "I hate being sixteen."

    "Baby, in some cultures people actually call it the best time of their lives."

    "Some cultures suck." Angelica muttered.

    Bette smiled, knowing Angelica was going to be okay, even after all this. Not to mention the fact that her last statement sounded so much like Tina, it was hilarious.

    1. Ah, tiff_duke, this so good, in so many ways. azmama’s right about the dialogue, but the interior monologues are fine, too. The way you’ve woven the absent Tina into the scene. Lost trust-why does that theme sound familiar?

    2. Just caught up with the last 2 chapters. I agree with the others. The dialogue was spot on and very in character, especially Bette. When Bette said: “You’ve clearly demonstrated that your sense of responsibility and priorities leave much to be desired.”, it reminded so much of the conversation between the girls where they pushed Alice to break up with Gabby Deveaux!! Still loving the “In some cultures…” reference. Thanks, tiff.

    3. I meant to say that when Bette said: “You’ve clearly demonstrated that your sense of responsibility and priorities leave much to be desired.”, it reminded me of the “Step off, b*tch!” episode on the show.

    4. TD,Read. Enjoyed and Commented. Gold Star please…This was an awesome chapter. Bette took the best line of attack with Angelica. Angelica is basically a good kid but needs to know that there is often a price to pay for a moment of recklessness. Angelica knew what she had done was wrong so Bette played on this perfectly. Being disappointed in her daughter was a far worse punishment than be shouted at. I loved Angelica’s attempt at gaining some ground but Bette was right there to put her on the correct path. Loved it!
