Playing By Heart
Dana raised her hands as a sign of surrender. “I stand corrected.” She said with a chuckle.
“Wow.” Tina whispered still smiling and shaking her head.
“It came out so naturally, T. I don’t even think she realized it.”
“Oh, I know she didn’t realize it. No doubt she’s catching a rash of teasing from Alice right about now.” Tina laughed, knowing that the brunette’s dear friend was relentless in her pursuit of taunts.
“Soooo?” Dana inquired with interest. “You gonna say it back?”
Tina looked at her friend, a sudden seriousness taking over her demeanor. “I am.” She declared with determination. She smiled again at the thought. “I’m in love with Bette Porter, Dana. There’s no way I can’t say it back to her.”
“I’m happy for you, Tina.”
“Thanks, Dane.”
“Now, what are you gonna do about Aaron?”

Law Offices of Joyce Wischnia
“Awesome!” James exclaimed as he jumped up and hugged Bette upon seeing the signed copy of the agency contract. The brunette was startled at first, but immediately returned the gesture, patting her sister’s new agent on the back. “I swear you won’t regret it!”
“Welcome to the family, James.” Bette said.
More hugs were passed out from James as he made his way around the table. When Angus stuck out his hand, James pulled him into a big bear hug, even lifting him off the ground a bit, much to the women’s amusement.
Joyce and James shook hands and smiled at one another in a silent vow to work together for the good of the band.
“Have a seat, James. Let’s call Thrill City and give them our list of demands shall we?” Joyce suggested.
“Yes, let’s.” Bette said, grateful for the reprieve, if only until the meeting was over.

Alphaville Records
“Before I officially out myself to our misogynistic, homophobe of a boss, have you ever heard of Fierce Kitty Records?” Tina asked as she stood up from behind her desk.
“No. Maybe it’s some independent label?”
“Even so, there’s no way they would offer that kind of deal. How would they survive?”
“Bette didn’t tell you about the offers?”
“Honestly, I think Joyce was just bluffing. Bette said that Lerner had told her Thrill City was prepared to make an offer, but she never mentioned any other label. And when we were in San Diego, she said the band would make a counteroffer so Aaron would back off.”

I had a feeling that was the alternative plan! Good for the Porter sisters. And maybe a new job for Tina? – who might need one soon… Great update!
glad you back thanks thanks.
Yup, I’m still reading :) Just when I think the next chapter can’t get any better, you go and prove me wrong! MeLL, this was even more brilliant than your last post! I was secretly hoping that Dana might try to cover Tina, and your descriptions of each band members reactions to Bette’s “doh!” moment were hilariously spot on :) As an independent artist nothing tickles me more than to know that Fierce Kitty Records is the brainchild of the Porter sisters and that they have James on board as their agent too. I can just imagine Aaron’s reaction once he discovers this tidbit of info (hahahaha). Oh, and I love slntdr’s idea too… Thanks for such an entertaining, fun and educational story MeLL — you ROCK!!! Looking forward to your next post whenever that may be. Til then, take care and enjoy the holidays :)
Poor Dana lol at least she bought Tina a bit of time to think things over. Aaron’s ‘spasm chasm’ Q reminded me of that old 1 level game Chasm Spasm lol terrible terrible game. Thanks for sharing mell :)
Great chapter.Love the way Joyce works and takes no prisoners. Loved the idea of Fierce Kitty Records last chapter and knew that it was the Porters had established their own record label; and well they should. Now Tina can have a job finding new talent for their own company and helping with producing Kit and the Stouts. Keep the money in the family. Love the story. Thanks.
Loved it.
I was excited to see another post!! Great update…can’t wait to see what happens next!! PPS :)
Wonderful and thank you for posting. I will just have to be satisfied with 1 update for this week :) Thank you again for this story.
Oh, I knew you were still posting and I was religiously keeping up. I just failed to leave a comment for reasons unknown, even to me. Another fantastic chapter, if I may say so. I don’t know much about record labels but I think Fierce Kitty is punching above its weight category. Who’s going to finance such an ambitious venture? But hey, this is fanfiction and it is your story and I’ll faithfully read on. I’m definitely loving it!
Go fierce Kitty….have a feeling Tina will be joining the team soon. Great chapter. Thanks
So glad to see a post from you!!! Waiting with anticipation for the next chapter !! ( hurry on up!!!)
Shew!!! Thank goodness Aaron thought that Bette was talking to Dana and not Tina. So the Bette and Kit is starting up their own label, interesting and smart. Nadia is dense and lucky for her, her comments about Tina was over the phone or she would have probably been strangled.
OMG I should’ve warned you that I’m the most unlucky person ever. And I live in Vegas! Needless to say, I don’t gamble for that very reason, whether it’s skill or luck, I lack it. Oh well, thanks for another awesome post.
Phew! Good thing tina is good under pressure when Dana isn’t. She was able to get rid of Aaron and divert a disaster. Wonder what Bette’s reaction will be when Tina says th “L Word”? Great update as usual. PPS
LOL…. I really can picture Dana and Tina’s reaction when Aaron barking at them!! :-D So great writing MeLL!! No matter how many times I read it, I still in awe!! :-) anyway if thrice is not a feasible option, what about make twice as a minimum standard?! ;-) he3… No pressure!! Just my wishful thinking maybe?? ^_* LOL
That was so good and love it. Please post more, thanks!
Poor Dana,but what now?Thank you for the update.Amazing story.PPS
