The fact was that neither of them could sing, but then The Clash couldn’t either and on performance alone they won. Lottie had the sneaking suspicion it was an act long practiced, which neither one would be giving up the rights to any time soon.
“That was fantastic!” Lottie shouted, clapping along with the others as the song finished, “Do ‘I Fought the Law’ …?”
Helena shook her head as she recovered her breath on the couch, “Nah … we don’t take requests,”
Then Carmen sang ‘The Pussycat Dolls’ with Kit and the two little girls, after which Lara and Dana gave a ropey rendition of the ‘Spice Girls’, forcing Lottie and Alice to join in with them just to make the pain go away. After they finished Angie turned to Tina and sat expectantly at her feet,
“Mama?”
Tina shook her head, smiling bashfully as she sipped her cocktail, “No thanks Ange …”
Angie turned on her best puppy dog eyes, “Pleeeeeease Mama … pleeeease? … It’s *so* funny,”
Tina glanced across at Bette, “Only if your Mom does the dance with me,”
Bette stared back at her imploringly, “Tee …”
“Mom … pleeeeeeeeeeease?”
Bette sighed, handing Helena her glass, “Alright,”
Alice rubbed her hands together gleefully, barely able to contain her excitement, “Oh my God … this is *so* good!”
Tina got to her feet, dusting herself off as the recognisable beats of Barry White picked up and she and Bette started moving their hands and hips,
“We’ve got it together baby …”
Their fingers pointing to each other, then themselves as they gravely voiced, “Nobody but you … and me …”
Lottie and Jo looked at each other, “It’s the dance from Ally McBeal,” Jo whispered,
Bette clicked her fingers as Tina started singing, “My first, my last, my everything … and the answer to … all of my dreams, you’re my sun, my moon, my guiding star … my kind of wonderful … that’s what you are,”
Their hands in the air as they wiggled their hips from side to side, Tina struggling to do both and hold the microphone as well as they flapped their arms behind them,
“I know … there’s only, only one like you,”

that was really really really good…i say it ever time, but this story is just getting better with age. i took your advice on the end, but what i did read was beautiful and in my experience, very accurate to…just, everything really. lovely sweety, really good. *smile*
I love this story, but I dunno, I can’t help but be a bit distraught sometimes over Bette and Lottie’s mother. She left such a mess. And why couldn’t she have written Bette a letter, thrown her a bone? Or something, I dunno. It’s like Bette got no answers in the end. I suppose Lottie’s not getting all the answers either, but I’m really glad they’re at least forging something out of it. On a different note, the bit with Al and Hels was hotness. Really good chapter, sofa, thanks
Love alice and helena together!!!! good for shane for telling bette and lottie to talk and talk they must!!! i do feel bad for both though their past is just messy and must terrible for the both of them understand and take in… crazy.. anyway fantastic update… just gets better and better!!! :)
One up it you did Sofa, I think I said before that I like the whole family dynamics of this story. I feel badly for Bette as she didn’t know her mother as well as Lottie and Lottie being young really dosen’t understand that maybe Bette still has some kind of what I call,absent mother worship” Motherless daughters will always think of their mothers as the mother that would have been perfect. Well done. Thank you. Md
Really enjoyed Bette and Lottie talking, finding common ground and sharing their loss. Alice and Helena ain’t so bad either. ; )
hey sofa, was a great convo between B & L, great to see them both come out of their shells (sorta), but I have one issue with this chapter. and as you may or may not recall I have a thing for B & T filled NC17’s and this one had anything but……YYYY OH YYY SOFA!!!! When I read Tina’s thoughts on B singing, I was like yay…some one is gonna get lucky!!! r u gonna fix that just for me???? HUH HUH??? PPS!!! LOL!!!
I’m glad to see Bette and Lottie getting closer, but I still feel sad for Bette that there’s nothing there for her from her Mother. It’s like she wanted Lottie to seek Bette out for Lottie’s benefit. There’s nothing that shows us that Bette’s Mother missed Bette all those years. Great chapter…loved the Ally McBeal dance.
If it was up to Alice to do all the digging, she should have thought twice about her dare. Or helped Helena with the cleanup. Ah, I guess it turned out OK in the long run. Shane got lucky to only have faux dairy intruding upon her bodily crevices-got to be better than sand. But when did Shane get so modest?
Another wonderful post! I so love this story. It took me a bit to get my head around Alice and Helena together but….. I totally get them as a couple now. Looking forward to your next chapter. jinjur
I am totally hooked on this story. Looking forward to more.
As u know I love dis story n am so glad dat u have been posting almost regularly:)Just brilliant as usual, thanksPPS
I agree with Madcapper about Bette and Lottie and am glad that they are working their way through this together and communicating MUCH better. Neither can erase the past, but they can build a better future for themselves and take back what was taken from their mother and honor what she tried to do. This will also bode so well for Bette when she has to explain it all to Angie when she gets older. GREAT job Sofa, please continue :o).
Just enjoyed reading the last two chapters. I loved the Ally McBeal/ Barry White dance… my daughter and I do the steps every time we hear the song. Perfect with Helena rockin’ out to the Clash….then rockin’ Alice! Hot. You write the group scenes that I would love to see on the show. I agree with jp22, Bette’s mother frustrates me. How could she have not contacted Bette?? Glad to see that she and Lottie are trying to open up. Amazing as always, sofa.
It is nice to see Bette and Lottie starting to get to know one another better. Thanks to Shane for continuing to get the ball rolling. I love this family that has been put together. Thanks for the post.
That was great and Im with pattifloatn, please post more, thanks!
superb writing as usual and thanks Helebette for the NC17…I have loved Lottie from the beginning and I hope her and Bette get that sisterly feeling going on…they need each other. PPS.
i really like crunchie rolls with my gravy and onions and a beef sausage…the roll lasts longer than bread which just gets sodden, mind you on bread, on a plate with knife & fork is cool too. Now I’m hungry gonna go make me a tortilla. Post soon. I love this story. More Tina. I’m a Tina fan all the way.
Bette and Lottie really needs to talk a lot more. Right now they have one thing in common. Their Mother. Lottie could tell Bette a lot,about her that Bette missd out on,let Bette stop feeling that her Mother didnt care for her. Helena and Alice were hot. Hot Hot. thanks
Splendid as always, Sofa! I really love the way you write the group, family scenes. I think you’re the fanfic counterpart of Angela Robinson, the go-to director of TLW framily episodes. Loved the Kennard-Porters’ Ally McBeal dance. Laurel has been criticized for her dorky dancing in the show. So it was funnier to imagine her doing that famous dance as your Tina in her own, offbeat but utterly endearing way. Btw, I googled that dance just like you suggested but sorry, I didn’t recognize you from the lineup. ;> Glad that the headstrong, at times emotionally accessible sisters have finally started talking, heart to heart. *Thanks again* Sofa! Hope this “Summer Vacation” goes on and on and on… P.S. If you must know, helebette posted the longest comment in the previous chapter. :)
Shane is such a sweetheart and I am glad she is being her usual quiet unassuming self and helping Bette and Lottie reach out for one another. I am so happy to see Bette and Lottie trying to find their own path together. Sisters need one another no matter how old or how long seperated. Every chapter gets better and better!
