    Author Notes:

    Echo Park…revelations and questions.
    Nothing is what it seems…

    “Hi.”

    Bette turns. Tina stands before her, dressed in what
    appears to be a very comfortable pair of dark rinsed jeans and lavender knit
    polo shirt. Her hair is pulled into a loose ponytail at the base of her neck and
    dark tinted sunglasses rest nicely on top of her head. Bette, herself, is
    dressed in tan chinos and a white, cotton buttoned down blouse.

    Bette: Hi. (smiles)You look great.

    Tina: (uncertain) Well you said very casual.

    She nervously worries
    the bottom of her shirts with her fingertips, smoothing away an unwanted crease
    in the fabric. Bette recognizes the gesture for what it is, and is somewhat
    relieved that she isn’t the only one suffering from anxious jitters.

    Bette: It’s perfect really

    Bette leads Tina to
    her car.

    Bette: I know it doesn’t look like much.

    Bette grimaces as she spies
    yet another white mark on her door panel courtesy of the gulls that nest near
    her beach house. Sometimes it really didn’t pay to get the 1991     Toyota Corolla washed. As it was, the finish was lackluster at best;
    the once high glossed sheen had long since dulled to a more sedate matte
    finish. The car wasn’t beautiful by any standards:
    the engine was loud, and the interior somewhat cramped and noisy. But
    nonetheless, it brought Bette from home to her gallery and everywhere in
    between and that’s essentially what its purpose was.

    Tina: (smiling) No, its fine. It’s just not what I expected.

    Bette: It’s pretty reliable.
    I bought it after college, a sort of graduation gift to myself.

    Tina: It’s a wonderful car, Bette.

    Bette: One day, thought, I’m going to go all out and buy something
    special. A convertible, maybe.

    Tina: Why not buy one now?

    Bette: Half the fun
    in owning a car like that is being able to show it off. I just don’t have that
    kind of time with running the gallery at the moment. (pauses) But someday.

    They drive in
    comfortable silence for a while, heading North on the Freeway, leaving the
    hustle of the city and heading towards the more sedate suburban neighborhoods.

    Tina: Where are we going?

    4. tibette—glad to see you back. I have missed this story. Don’t let S3 get you too down. I am supporting the show and I think I am actually coming to terms with B & T. I still have hope that they will find each other again…and I always have authors like you…who will make us happy in the end. please post soon.

    6. You’ve returned! Thanks for continuing the story, even if you were nudged into doing so. This chapter was definitely worth it. I do hope we won’t have to wait another couple of months before the next post. :-)

    7. Don’t get discouraged by season 3 at this point there is nothing we can do to change it but you have a story you want to write continue on in the direction you intended and give us readers something to look forward too!!!!

    11. yay im glad you are back!. Nice chapter..maybe Tina’s dream was a way to get her attention to Bette…she soo needs T right now. I hope she tells T about her illness because although the girls will be there for her..who she really wants by her side is Tina ;) Post soon!.

    12. So glad you posted really missed this story. Tina’s dream was so loving and full of promise, and to “wake up” realizing it was only a dream…UGHH. Tina needs to talk to Bette. She needs to tell her about the baby. Don’t get discouraged about S3, who knows where all this drama is going to lead. Please update soon and thanks for the story.
