Summer Vacation. Chapter 44
“But art soon made way for scholarly aptitude,” Alice continued, as Lottie groaned, covering her face once again to hide from the image of herself dressed like a St Trinnian’s school girl, complete with tartan skirt, straw hat and plaits as she prepared to go off to boarding school,
“Alice, that’s horrific … where did you get it?” Lottie asked, the high pitch of her voice relaying that she wasn’t really cross,
Alice shrugged, “Bette …”
The pictures rolled through for a minute or two more, culminating with a recent one upon which Alice’s voice over announced that Lottie deserved to know a little about the rest of them too …
Lottie grinned and leant back again, “Cool …”
The first bit of film opened with Bette, or at least it ‘seemed’ like Bette only with a scary hairdo and even more frightening make up, staring directly at the camera,
“James …” she frowned into it, “James, get that thing away from me, have you seen Alice?”
“And so it began …” Alice’s voice boomed ominously, “the beginning of a beautiful friendship,”
The entire room erupted into laughter as Alice appeared on screen, wearing some ill-fitting hippie outfit with pink streaks in her hair,
“What?” Alice turned to them, offended, “that was cool then!”
Bette chuckled, “No it wasn’t,”
“Where are you?” Lottie asked, thinking the setting didn’t look familiar,
“Bette’s first gallery,” Alice explained, “that was the first big show she ever did,”
Lottie smiled across at Bette, “Cool …” she paused and grinned, adding deadpan, “Bette, your hair is really shocking,”
Bette stuck out her tongue, “Shut up, that was cool then!”
Alice scoffed, “No it wasn’t!”
The film rolled on to shaky hand held footage with Alice’s voice behind the lens, “Say hi to Bette,” she instructed, the camera obnoxiously close to Tina’s face,
Tina rolled her eyes, giving the camera a look they all instantly recognised,
“What’s this?” Bette asked, not remembering,
“This is that trip we went on with my production company to New York,” Tina replied, “you couldn’t come so Al insisted on filming the entire thing for you,”
“Why haven’t I seen it?” Bette asked, as the shot moved to central park and Dana and Shane sitting side by side on the swings kicking each other,

I just love sthis tory more and more. after this party how can lottie and jo feel like they don’t belong the “family”. heck that’s what family is all about! i totally love alice’s dvd, perfect!!! :)
ok, i’ve just finished like half a page and i’m already going “aaaahhhh” because the image of carmen in her bikini…*ahem*…*glances down at self* well im glad i match up faaaairly well. *runs back to read more* great so far sweety
oh…umm…that made me melt a little…a lot i suppose…*sheepish*…that was really lovely writing, just really great. my net cut out when i was on page two, but before it did, i thought to myself for the umpteenth time, how much more helena has learned on the actual show from having the ground yanked from beneath her feet than bette seems to have learned, and there are hints of just how much she’s able to really connect with people, in a way that you wouldn’t expect…anyway, you capture that while also having a more fully evolved bette running around and taking naughty baths;) veerrrrry nice tub, though you know, my clawfoot obsession is personally being pushed aside slighty for a ‘giant wooden jacuzi style bath but without the gaudy white or marble’ you know where the hot water makes steam which makes the wood smell all nice and woodsy. mmm…oh dear, this story is just so beautiful, it really is. i’m a bit beside myself *smile* xoxox babe
oh, and you handled the wedding just perfectly. did i mention that? well you did. that was…everything a story should be…a story about that…well you know what i mean…that thing i’ve always called by its first letter and said i’d die before i did…well dammit, you have me melting over it…you have skills storyteller;)
Oh this was such a good update! A little bit of everything and everybody in it. Hahaha…Bette and Tina still going at it after all these years…beautiful. Just waiting for your next update.
Well, sofa, I have to give it to you, you really can tell a story, a complex and neatly woven one at that. You’re also good at fiction in that I think it’s been several decades (if not a century) since Malibu was deserted enough for Shane and Carmen to find a secluded spot on the rocks, which have to be much harder than either surf or sand, so I hope Carmen was the bottom in all their escapades there. She has the padding to handle it, scrawny old Shane would have broken something. And yes, Shane certainly has nipples, but I must say I’ve seen scant evidence the woman ever grew tits, so how *great* can they be? The actress is supposed to be Gwenyth Paltrow’s cousin, but I bet Olive Oyl is Shane’s virgin aunt. Oh yeah, I have to thank you for making such a big deal out of Lottie’s discarded/stolen pants, cause you and me, we’ve got pants history.
Wow, I need your help in planning my parents 50th wedding anniversary. This party went on with out a hitch, except for the missing clothes. By the way where did Shane hide them at? Loved the family time.
I love this story more every chapter! I am so glad that they threw Lottie a birthday party and now she is having the family birthday time. I hope this shows her how much she truly is a part of the family now. I can’t wait to read more!
I was a couple of chapters behind … caught up now. Patience is a virtue so I’m told. Looking forward to your next post. jinjur
I finally caught up! What a great party for Lottie.
so in-love with this story…pps
Hey, Sofa! This was really good! We love how you described the growth that all the ladies have experienced, thru Alice’s DVD. Very enjoyable chappy. Thanks for sharing this fabulous story. PPS – Lucero & Marsha – JC’s Salsa Aunties from Mexico City
brown gravy and onions like on beef steak or roast beef; i don’t eat chicken…
Welcome back. Still great just don’t be gone so long
Hey, Sofa! Have I told you lately that I *fvcking love* this framily, this story? I love the way you present the framily scenes. It’s a joy to see them have fun together and see the love that binds them all regardless of bloodlines. I love the way you give other couples some “screen time”. What a party huh, three out of the five couples managed to sneak out for some *quality alone time*. LOL! And of course, I love all the Bette & Tina stuff: the freaking hot bubble bath and the *lovely* beach wedding. *SIGH* I’d cry buckets too in utter joy if I see that scene play out in S6. I’d blink back tears too as soon as I hear the first notes of “Here, There and Everywhere”… Ahhhh, so sweet. Lastly, I LOL at the mention of Tina’s signature eyeroll and LMAO because the cute, adorable, pesky Angie happened to have inherited it too. :) Thank you, thank you for this update, for this story, Sofa! I hope this “Summer Vacation” will not end anytime soon. PPS :>
Sofa this I think this is the best chapter yet, or maybe not, or mabye but it is right up there. Now I’m going to be greedy and say I can’t wait to here Lottie’s reaction to the party, and the trip and !!!!!!!!! well anyway, more. Can’t get enough. Thank you. Md
That is a family,all the love and fun that they can have and still be one. thanks
What a great mixture of romance,sex, humor, family and the sentimental. Loved it all.
Oh my goodness, I love this story SO much. The video of Bette & Tina’s wedding actually made me get all teary…and all your characters seem so real to me. I can just see the picture of Lottie & Angie dancing in the living room…thanks for yet another incredible installment of this story, hope it keeps going forever!!
Hello Sofa… wow am I late for this party or what… wink… ok… can I join this family… cause well yeah its just perfect… you create such a beautiful picture with this family… even through the flaws there is beauty and acceptance… and I do hope that Bette does ask Lo to stay… I think Bette needs her… just as much as she needs Bette… you are just so perfect at capturing all these different personalities… love it so much… hugs, JC
THAT WAS FUNNY AND HOT!
