Alice took another breath while Bette quietly stared at her, mouth slightly gaping.
Am I right? Alice persisted.
Bettes only reply was a slow nod, unable to muster up verbal forms of communication.
Of course Im right. And now look at the two of you – this whole week youve been dancing around the fact that there might be a chance between you. How many more signs do you need? You both are freaking moving back to LA unaware of the others plans. If thats not fate then I dont know what is.
Its a good hand of luck. Bette finally voiced her thoughts.
Bullshit. There is no luck, Bette. You, of all people, should know that, given how you and Tina first met. Or is that too long ago that you cant remember your own personal love story?
Of course I remember. Bette snapped. But that was a long time ago and things have changed.
Change is inevitable. But what happens in between the changes can affect you more than the initial modifications.
Our lives are completely different at this point. Its been seven years, Alice. You cant just pretend seven years never happened. I dont even know Tina anymore.
Things change, but people stay the same. She might seem different and things in her life have changed, but she is still the same woman you fell in love with. Just like you are the same old Bette Porter. Granted, you both have a lot of catching up to do and you might discover some growth in character inside of both of you, but on the whole, you are still the same.
Alice paused as she saw her date enter the stands far behind them. She waved and motioned for her to come down. Alice turned back to Bette.
Listen up Porter cause you need all the advice you can get – dont forget why you fell in love with Tina in the first place. Its still there. She pointed to Bettes heart. Dont let this get in the way too much because its hung up on stubbornness and pride. She then pointed to Bettes head. Take tonight with Tina to rediscover each other. See if a second chance is worth it. It will be like falling in love all over again. You never know what you might find. It may seem like you lost a silly bet, but it could turn out to change your life. Please listen to your heart.
Alice stood up and greeted her new girlfriend, introducing her to a quiet and contemplative Bette. The rest of the match was a blur to Bette who couldnt stop dwelling on Alices haunting words.
***
Shane felt like she was experiencing deja vu as she sat by the side of the road, only Tina was in the drivers seat instead of Bette and it was the middle of the day instead of the night. Shane remembered the night Bette took her out here to dig up the box in the back yard. That night the house seemed deserted, just as it did now.
You want to get a closer look? Shane asked Tina as they sat in the car.
Tina didnt reply but opened the door and motioned for Shane to follow. They moved towards the house and walked up the driveway. Tina stopped by the sidewalk and spotted the For Sale sign in the lawn. She cocked her head to the side as she glanced at Shane and then darted her eyes back to the sign. Shane trailed her gaze and saw what had Tina so amazed. A big SOLD label was plastered across the sign.

WOnderful chapter, I hope Bette listens to Alice.
Totally love your story & the images that u portray with ur carefully selected words..x
awww.. you got my wittle heart pounding. It can’t be complete without the same house.
This is so awesome. Thank you for posting today.
LOVE IT Go Bette…Get your girl back…I have loved how you have told this story..Please continue
ok so bette bought there old house. Now I get it, I though that what it might have been, but I didn’t know for sure. Thanks for the update, and leaving me a comment it makes me feel special. Ok I still want you to take your time, don’t rush them.
Alice talking sense? I must be in a parallel universe…excellent discussion with Bette. I hope Bette takes her advice. Hmmm the house.
SOLD! I love it! Who’s final buyer? I’m guessing Bette but one never knows with the way you magically weave the story. Don’t leave us guessing for too long please! You are just too good! Thanks!
I so love this story. I have had such a rough couple of weeks that I am glad I finally caught up and again just love this story. It seems so appropriate that Alice would be the one to get Bette to think. Shane gets her to talk and hopefully Tina will get her to finally move. Thanks so much.
“Go Alice, go Alice!”. Alice totally rocks in this installment. I love it.
Just as at the start of season 2 Alice is the only one of the group able to talk to Bette. Hopefully Bette will walk down the road now that Alice has given her the map showing a route to happiness.
I adore the way that you have totally captured each of these characters’ imperfections and short comings. They live and breath in this world.
As for Tina and Shane, another brilliant union, as they investigate Bette’s purchase? Not so sure about that as you do like to add some dyke drama to these proceedings. Perhaps Bette is the guarantor for someone else or is she selling the house? I know that you will provide a very satisfactory resolution to these queries.
Can’t wait for your next post.
A loyal fan.
That was simply brilliant Fareast!
Now the house what is the story there i wonder.
Thank you.
wow. well done. i really love alice on this. exactly to the point. wonderful fareast!!!
You go Alice! This is so exciting!!! I lov e it!!! Thanks!
this story has got to be one of my faves. so well-crafted and thought out. u capture the girls so well. thanks you for sharing this with us — & for us long as u r writing.. it’ll be our pleasure to read!
Another brilliant installment. I can’t beleive Bette needs Alice to tell her what to do – what a dork;0)
Woo, sold! Heh, I really love this story and glad to see another chap so soon after the last. Keep up the awesome job!
You sure know how to make a girl happy! Thanks for posting the next chapter so quickly. Oh, and thanks for being such an amazing writer! :)
There is a definite sense of place in your stories. Each time I resume reading the new chapter, its like I’m returning to a world that you have created where the characters have distinctive voices. There is a definite past that is encolsed within the present.
I’m trying to say that the world you create seems real and unique. It’s unlike any other on this site. I would know, even without labels or preface, that I was reading YOUR story.
Yes, I’m getting antsy but you just disregard that and keep on writing!Thank you for continuing your story.
I’m so glad you’ve continued with this story. It’s very well written.
another enthralling chapter, loved it. Thanx.
One of your best chapters yet -love your having Alice tell Bette some truth but I’m thinking Bette already knows this- can she let herself trust herself and Tina once again? Can’t wait to see how you write your story.
i find myself being ridiculously redundant in the comments that i leave, but that is simply because each and every chapter is as good, if not better, than the one before. thanks for this and as usual, will be looking for more.
I’m hopeful for them…this is great. Thank you.
Fareast – you have done it again – another amazing and brilliant chapter. I find myself getting so absorbed into your story telling. You really do a wonderful job here! Thank you so very much for writing and sharing.
And how very kind of you…five heart shaped cookies for me? Really? I’m so touched… thanks a bunch. (you know that is my very favorite chapter to date!)
And this weather! so beautiful and hope that it lasts this week and beyond! I even got to spend part of the weekend down on the Cape.
Sunny days and clear skies to you!
Thanks again for another amazing chapter!
You can drag this story on forever and I will keep raedin.
Very nice, as always. Keep dragging it along, really.
Great Story, Every one should have a friend like Alice.
Awww Fareast…just amazing work. Love the way Alice spoke to Bette and the fact that Bette has bought their old house back. Post soon
Far…I have been following this amazing story from the beginning! I think you have done a terrific job with the pacing….it has allowed us to be a part of B&T’s journey back to one another! Excellent!
