“I know” she had continued “can you believe it and she looks so classy and did I mention how hot she was?”
Tina at this point was struggling to contain herself. When Shane nonchalantly asked about Bette’s whereabouts she lost all control and dissolved into a fit of giggles, soon to be joined by both Alice and Shane. A confused Dana looked around the table unsure of what was going on before worsening her plight by laughing lightly herself and adding “yeah I suppose it was kind of funny.” This of course only served to further encourage her companions to laugh unreservedly. It was to this scene of her friends uncontrollable laughter that Bette arrived moments later the scowl on her face following her phone conversation, erasing itself as the infectious laughter reached her ears.
“Tee? What’s so funny?” she queried a trademark Porter smile encompassing her face.
Dana had looked up to see who was addressing Tina and the look on her face was one that none of them would ever forget. Within seconds, she was bright red all the way from the top of her chest visible above her training top to the tips of her ears. Then momentarily she appeared to go pale and looked like she might be sick, before she quickly buried her face in her hands and let out a slow painful groan.
“Um Dana,” Tina spluttered between bouts of laughter, “I’d like you to meet my partner – Bette” she finally concluded before erupting into laughter once again. A bewildered Bette looked around at her friends for some explanation but neither Alice nor Shane could even see her clearly due to the tears rolling down their cheeks as they continued to laugh out loud. A mortified Dana slowly lifted her very rosy face, sheepishly extending her hand as she stood up and mumbled “nice to meet you Bette, I’m Dana”
Even now, all these years later, Tina laughed at the memory before continuing on with the letter.
With you though it was different Tina, you were truly happy. I remember spending some time with you and thinking that you were what I aspired to. It’s hard to really describe but in that time when I was struggling to come out, as much as all of the girls were really helpful it was you and your experience that I felt that I could relate to most. You came from a back-ground most similar to my own even thought your parents weren’t as conservative as mine. You were older coming out, you didn’t always realise you were gay or if you did you weren’t always comfortable embracing it. I suppose the more I talked to you and the more times I heard your coming out story the more I allowed myself to believe that maybe for me too there could be that one special person about whom I would feel so strongly that all my other baggage about coming out would just disappear.

Love the little flashback of dana meeting bette and the gang just cracking up. tina was so calm when dana was telling her hot bette was… now that really is security… the letter is such a tear jerker…i’m eagerly waiting for the rest… :) have a good holiday..
This is just heartbreaking. Really sweet of Dana to remember things with everyone, even after she’s gone. Hopefully her letter will make Tina think things over. Life’s too short to be unhappy or to hold grudges. Happy holidays hun.
Wow, wondering! Amazing, heartwarming, heartbreaking, wonderful. Love the flashback (as always). What a funny first meeting. Again, so true to all the characters. Thnak you so much for the great update and Happy Holidays to you!
bloody hell what a beautiful effin chapter
That was a great chapter, can’t wait for the rest of this story it gives me hope that in the end Bette and Tina will be together. Merry Christmas enjoy you holiday.
I’m a little behind on my commenting, but still reading. I loved the flashback… I could totally see that happening, and really, it just makes me miss Dana all the more. I hope Dana’s letter gives Tina some insight, and helps her see she either needs to learn to forgive and understand, and try again, while she has the chance, or move on. She’s not going to be happy until she does one of those. Thanks for the post, and have a great holiday. Cheers
“If you don’t get that bleeping little bleep to take his bleep out of his bleep by bleeping ten am and make sure the bleeping paintings are hanging on my bleeping walls I’ll take your bleeping bleeps and tie them in bleeping knots around your bleeping ears James.” now I just lold at that one. I’m glad that people like me encourages people like you to continue with your stories. :) i love loved this chapter because I love Tina :D thanks, awesome job
The idea of these letters is just incredible. I don’t know if you’re planning on doing this or not—you seem to have anticipated every other idea I’ve had—but another great way to heal the gang via Dana reaching out from the grave (waterfall?) is to have her 1) ask everyone to pass the letters around to each other, either with everyone gathered together at the last letter opening and/or 2) for Dana to request that everyone write each other similar letters to each other, where, unlike for her, they could actually be there to make the changes in each other’s lives and/or answer face-to-face questions about why and what they might’ve written to each other. Am I making any sense. I might PM you, just incase you don’t come across this comment.
