Game Day (basketball) – USC v UCLA
“Where’s the game, baby?” Bette asked Tina about the basketball game they were going to that evening.
“It’s over in Westwood. I’ll drive.”
“That’s not the USC campus,” Bette observed.
“No, I couldn’t get tickets to a home game.”
“I’ve given some art lectures over there in Westwood, at UCLA. They have a beautiful campus.”
“Uhm,” said Tina.
They finished dressing and Tina had again wanted Bette to wear a USC t-shirt.
“You’ll look hot in it,” Tina had said.
“Why do I want to look hot?” Bette had grumbled.
“Well, one of those cheerleaders might spot you.” grinned Tina.
“OK.”
They were caught in something of a traffic jam trying to get into the parking area. People wearing opposing team’s colors were yelling, singing, making obscene gestures. The cars were so close and the possibilities of dings were so bad that Bette was relieved that they were not in her beloved sports car.
Going to a basketball game had not taken all the paraphernalia that a football game had, so when they got close to the sports arena, Bette bought a program. She suspected that reading might be more interesting to her than watching the game.
When they walked into Pauley Pavilion, it took her breath away. The inside of the building was so beautiful. She had liked the architecture of the Coliseum where they had seen USC play football, but this interior space was wonderful.
Tina stopped and turned, realizing that Bette had stopped walking.
“What is it?” Tina asked.
“This building is gorgeous; it’s like a cathedral,” Bette said with reverence.
“Uhm,” Tina said and continued walking without waiting for Bette. Bette had to trot to catch up.
They found their seats which were close to the floor. Bette started to ask after the whereabouts of the cheerleaders, but bit her tongue to stop.
“What did you say, baby?” asked Tina.
“I saidhow did you get these wonderful seats?”
“Lydia, at Alphaville, owed me big time,” smiled Tina.
The two teams came running out onto the court and began complicated-looking activities. Tina cheered her team and Bette watched curiously.
“Is this the game?” asked Bette.
“No, baby, this is the warm-up.” said Tina patiently between cheers. “I’ll let you know when the game starts.”

it was really funny, reminds me of me and my roomate when we watch the games at home or at the stadium, she’s screams at tv like a maniac and i just quietly eat pop-corn, but what can i say, i’m from another planet, totally loved bette’s reactions and thoughts…but what the hell was it about the hot cheerleader? tina better not to entertain those thoughts, she has bette
It’s an absolute pity that Bette doesn’t fancy any sports games. Let’s see… maybe volleyball or tennis? There’re a lot of beauties there, haha.
Adorable…absolutely adorable!!!
Oh my gosh! Thanks Pancha, you know I love B&T on a sports outing adventure… heh and bette afraid of a light failure… man she is really oblivious to sports. I think tina should of thrown a bigger temper tantrum, that would of been funny. Again, I love this everyday B&T, too cute!
My partner is just like Tina but with football – season ticket and all for Liverpool! I’m sure one of these days she is going to burst a blood vessel!
Hello Pacha,I am a recent convert to your wonderful writing as have just spent most of the last 5 hours reading “S3” and this fantastic fan fiction.Words seem such an inadequate way to letting you know the joy and pleasure you have just given.I am a total addict to your narratives and can’t wait until your next installment.A Fan
I like how Bette gets all child like when Tina’s team is loosing, she does’nt want to pisse Tina off so she says nothing and does not dare ask questions…to funy. Love this story
just glad there wasn’t any riots. brings back memories (good ones)..hehe…u r such a tease..hmmm..ever considered any other sports!…take care and post soon(“,)
It totally sucks when your team losses to your rival
The town I live in is called the City of Champions.We have a great girls basketball tean always have even when I was in School here. My youngest G/daughter Plays on the Soft ball team and soccerteam/ Guess Bette will learn about sports or she will be in trouble. She doesnt say anything afraid she will Piss Tina off.love that. Need to thke them to one more sport event Girls volley or basketball. I do have a nice family. A bunch of Hairy leg Men. thanks for posting.
why does tina take bette to see sportswhen the only thing she is interested in is the cheerleaders bad move tina.
k – i hurt myself with this chappy. i was roflmao. Tina needing a keeper at a game really did it for me. dayum girl you are funny. this was sweet also. thanks.
Tina is beginning to irritate me. She’s not THAT young and THAT immature. She’s a rising executive at Alphaville, yes? But it’s beginning to seem more like a fond forebearing mother (Bette) with her wayward charming child (Tina). Again the problem I see with B and T in Season One of Lword was the inequity in power and force of character and here it pops up again. If the relationship is to be meaningful it needs to be equal, be it gay or straight. Otherwise where’s the growth?
You made an excellent point in the story when the man mentioned that all the good players from Ca. (and elsewhere, really) go to Duke. Tina is certainly welcome to sit with us at the Duke women’s bb games and Bette would be a nice distraction, also!! I would be glad to help keep her entertained. She would be very disappointed in the Duke cheerleaders, though. We call them the Duke Dogs.
Good chapter. Bette is funny when she went to see sport, happpy when Tina’s team win, scare when Tina’s team lose. Ok post soon please, thanks!
I’m catching up…next
All caught up finally. Amazing story you’ve got going on. Bette reminds me so much of myself when it comes to sports. lol
I’m like Tina, yelling and screaming; well, only at Football games, not a big Basketball fan. I love Bette’s equation: USC=good, Everyone else=bad. UCLA = especially bad. Football=good, basketball=not so good. I like it when you have Bette learning about love. Would love to see Tina’s POV; like Bette taking her a lecture or something. Thanks for sharing your story.
luved it luved it pancha!!
it was funny. You got me more interested in sports. Let’s see the next game!
Tina remember me those soccer fans here in Brazil that even cry when their theam lose..lol..Bette going to games..thats really love..lol..great as always P thanks :o)
Maybe Bette (after much research) should get them some tickets to the women basketball game. USC would have a better chance of winning(in fact they would probably win) and she would have a happier T, and of course be able to play a little T-ball at home after the game :o)
WILT THE STILT. DR J. SIR CHARLES. WORLD B. FREE. MOSES MALONE… SONNY JURGENSON. DICK VERMEIL. REGGIE WHITE. Were the Porters under a rock? I’m just sayin…
So…I guess Melvin was not an Eagles or Sixers fan…
juz caught up. you’re real good…!! juz love this couple!
you’ve done a great job capturing what it is to be a real sports fan. I feel Tina’s pain-it sucks when you’re team loses a totally winnable game. I’m a Tennessee fan and that has been our entire football season. This is a great story and another great chapter. Keep ’em coming.
