The New Mothers of Invention – #12 Touch Tones – S07

Sue Ellen looks a bit more ill, then a shiver jumps up her shoulders.
”Bette,” I repeat again, digging into her with my elbow.
”What, Baby? What?”
I whisper in a low voice very near her ear. ”Do you remember the Xanax and Valium pills I keep for whenever we have an earthquake?”
”Ah, ah, of course I do, but I certainly don’t have any. What’s wrong? Are you suddenly nervous?”
”I’m not nervous, at all, but they’re both blue, but Valium can also be yellow.”
”And grass is green. All good to know, but did you get a look at the size of that Porterhouse that just went by?!”
”You probably can’t eat, can you Mom?” Shane peers over her Wanted Dead or Alive poster.
Alice offers her medical advice. ”My mother, who had the maternal instincts of a spider, would’ve prescribed you Chicken Soup. It’s the Jewish cure all for anything.”
”But not Hitler,” says Sue Ellen, ”Do you all really believe there was a holocaust?”
”What!?” Bette shouts way too forcefully.
Sue Ellen stares back at Bette. ”Pee-ah-zec-ee, that ain’t Irish, sweetheart. I know from whence I speak.”
Alice, to her credit is taking none of this seriously, and she begins to smile, ”Does everyone in your family have a double name, Sue Ellen? And how’d you escape Virginia and North Carolina without one, Tina?”
Shane leans across the table to Bette. ”Guys, I can’t eat a whole one of these monster steaks, maybe, I am a little worried about the tests tomorrow.”
Alice comforts her, ”Drink some milk, Shane, that will coat your stomach.”
”She can make up her own mind what to eat. I think that should be plenty obvious.” Sue Ellen snorts, and lolls her head back against the soft red leather banquette. ”What do you know about it, anyway? Milk.”
”Pasteurized, or unpasteurized, or straight out of the teets? I freelanced for one of the farm co-ops back when everybody was on about making their own yogurt. You can’t stump me when it comes to dairy.”
”Right.” Shane says quickly. ”Mother, let’s go back to your room.”
Sue Ellen waves her Wanted Dead or Alive poster back at her daughter. ”Don’t-cha mean, Death Row? And here you are, after twenty years back in Texas, taking me to dinner with your LA friends, hiding their unnatural attraction for each other with lipstick and fake wedding rings.” She looks disgusted as she stares at Alice, avoiding Bette’s and my eyes. ”You must think I’m blind. Trust me, I’m not.”

Anything that is headed with a photograph of my favourite woman and the next photograph my favourite couple is fine by me. Add some great writing and superb story telling and it can’t get better.
Part 3 soon please BB :)
Pat, you’re a dear! I had a feeling you’d like this one! If you drop back by, please hit the stars ranking button at the top of the story. I think with the new design of this site it helps readers find my writing.
Ah, I loved writing the long opening windmill of Bette’s musings. Being in her head amuses me completely.
Okay, Wanted: Dead or Alive posters are in the story, and now for the Showdown!
I’ll figure it out tomorrow while I’m swimming. — Blackbird

Hello, to the new members, and hello again, to all the longtime L Word fanfiction readers who know me. I’ve had an email today from a reader who was excited about my book, Touch Tones, that is my vision of Season 7. It’s pretty cool. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Anyway, back to the email from earlier today, the fan asked me where my WeHo: Behind the Scenes book was on LesFan.com. She said she couldn’t find it. I created this list below.

And for the moment we’re up to date.
With that mission accomplished I will add a note of encouragement to LesFan’s readers, all writers enjoy, appreciate and are otherwise encouraged to write more fiction for you to enjoy, so tell us – even it’s just a dash of a note, or some line or joke, or amusing scene you particularly enjoyed – it’s nice to know what readers think.
Enjoy yourselves out there! Blackbird aka @BlackbirdWrite
I’m soo happy to read your story again! It’s darn too long for my liking
Anyway, Sue Ellen is kinda…A bit homophobic? ..
I mean, “Fake straight women?” Really?! ….
Good thing that Bette is a bit mellow now..
If not? …hehehe
Thanks for the updates Blackbird
