Vignettes: Chapter 75
Bette wiped a tear from falling. Tina grabbed her hand under the table.
Dakota grabbed the mic. “Ditto for me on that, Zoe.” She grinned while everyone chuckled. “But seriously, I love you guys. That’s why I made this for you.”
She held up a large book in her hands. “It started as a class project at school this year and ended up as a perfect gift for you. Inside this book you’ll find stories from all of your friends from over all the years since the two of you met. Along with the stories are pictures. It’s essentially a scrapbook and timeline of your relationship. And by the way, your life got me an A.”
Bette and Tina smiled, clenching tissues in their free hands.
“But that’s not it.” Dakota flashed a sassy smile and pointed to the giant screen in the front of the room. The lights dimmed.
“I found this video hidden deep in your closet recently. Don’t kill me.” She noticed the look of death in her mama’s eyes.
“I thought this would go along well with the evening. After I watched it, I finally discovered my moms were actually two really cool women. And they were my age once, just like they always tell me. I also learned they were in love and happy and they were an admirable couple… just like they still are.”
When Dakota stopped talking and sat down, Bette leaned in to Tina. “What tape is this? Do you know? Should I be scared?”
Tina shrugged and shushed her as the movie began.
The video started with someone’s bare ass filling the screen. “Testing, testing.” Alice’s young voice whispered. She took the camera off her butt and stuck it in her smiling face.
“I’m here at my apartment in West Hollywood, supposedly hosting a party. What I’m really going to do, is tape my friend Bette Porter”
The camera zoomed in on a dark woman across the room who had her arm wrapped around a blonde woman. Bette was much younger.
“That’s her over there, sitting with that blonde lady. Her name is Tina Kennard. Bette just met her a month ago, but ever since then she can’t take her eyes… or hands… off her. You might think, so what? But let me tell you that I’ve never known Bette Porter to act this way about anyone. I think she’s in love with Tina. Let’s watch her tonight and find out.”

very cool update- thanks!
i’m so in love with this story….i hope The End will have at least 30 parts *hint*…i love the way you brought the past back again, i was always wondering what was on that tape…post soon again
This is one of the best stories on this site. I hope also that there is a bit more wrap up to the ending. Thanks.
Always glad to see another chapter out of you. Also relieved (so to speak) that Tina was merely sitting on the toilet, not SITTING on the toilet. Alice’s moon was enough of that sort of thing! There better be more to this movie!
That’s lovely. Bette’s soooo cute when she’s shy.
Yes. Another perfect chapter. Thanks so much for posting.
So sweet and tender.
Your the best, totally the best…pls more !!!
great use of the tape from the past – awesome story – more please
Fareast, this has been a beautiful insight into a long-term relationship. The glimpses you have shown us reminds us of how tenuos life is and how the slightest of touches, the quickest of glances and the softest of whispers can influence a life more dramatically than we realize. We often forget those early days in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but should never forget to treasure them. Newfound love is full of discovery and startling admissions, but if we look closely we’ll see that discovery and admissions continue as our relationship grows – we just have to be more persistent in taking joy in them. A story that will always be a favorite of mine. As others have voiced…I hope there is a protracted ‘end’.
I just caught up with the story, and its still and good as it was in the begining. I know the parties not over cos their has to be more to say and see. Can’t wait, and Julianne and Dakota too cute.
Do i have to say how much i love this story that i might weep if it really came to an end?? I’m so loving this documentry video tape..
Please,please,please don’t let this story end. I’m lovin’ it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the home movie :) your amazing storytelling will be missed.
you’re a really awesome writer! i thoroughly enjoyed reading your series and i really really really hope you continue to write!!!!
so cute! You’re amazing as usual. Thanks for posting!
I ALSO HOPE THE END WILL HAVE ABOUT 30 PSRTS… LOVE THIS STORY… PLEASE UPDATE SOON
I’m so sad to see this story coming to an end. You know how much I’ve enjoyed it from the start. The approach you took at the beginning was refreshingly different, as was the jump ahead in time to deal with the children as they got older. I hope you will consider writing another story for us.
I love this story! I’ve missed reading it for a while because a certain someone has been occupying all of my time! But after reading this update I’m definitely going to go back and catch up to the present (or in this case the past)…can’t wait for more! Thanks!
I am such a sucker for good writing! I loved this chapter, but know in my heart that it is not the final end, just the beginning of the end….
What can I say? I love this story. It is so well observed and beautifully written. I have really appreciated the pacing of it and your excellent use of flashbacks. I would love you to continue this story for ages yet, but could you at least give us lots of details of the video and how the rest of the evening pans out for the girls. This story really is a gem. Thanks for all you have posted and I look forward to reading you new fics once season 3 airs in the UK.
You know I love this story of yours Fareast – sorry I have been away for some time now. But been buzy with work and it is my day off…so what better than to read up on your amazing story here. Wonderful work – keep going
