After the Kiss: Chapters 33 to 35 Playing with Fire
Tina – Hi, Shane!
Shane turns to look and stops.
Shane – Hi, Tina! How are you?
Tina – I’m good! And you?
Shane – I’m great!
She looks around.
Shane – Where is Bette?
Tina – Oh, she didn’t come … too much work! I’m here with Alice.
She points to the dance floor and Shane looks in that direction.
Shane – Oh … (pause) And Bette didn’t mind that you came?
Tina – No … of course not!
Shane turns to her friend.
Shane – I’ll be there in a minute.
The friend nods disappointed and leaves.
————————————————-
Lesbian nightclub, night: Tina and Shane are talking and drinking beer.
Tina – Where are you from, Shane?
Shane – Oh … here and there … everywhere, actually … I’ve been in LA for the past three years. (pause) What about you?
Tina – I’m from North Carolina.
Shane – I knew I could detect a Southern accent in your voice. When did you come to LA?
Tina – I came to California for college. I went to Stanford and after graduation my best friend and I applied for jobs here in LA. Well … I had already worked here for two summers, and with my degree, Hollywood was the way to go.
A pretty girl interrupts them and wraps her arms around Shane’s shoulders from behind.
Girl – Hi Shane!
Shane looks up.
Shane – Oh … hi!
Girl – Wanna dance?
Shane – Uh … maybe later.
Girl – Don’t forget …
The girl plants a kiss on Shane’s cheek and leaves.
Tina smirks.
Shane – Sorry … uh … what’s your degree again?
Tina – Media and Film.
Shane – Wow … and Stanford? You are so brainy!
The blonde chuckles.
Tina – No … not really! We had a lot of fun during those four years, believe me! (pause) What about you?
Shane seems embarrassed.
Shane – Well … I’m not in your league, Tina.
The producer shakes her head dismissively.
Tina – I’m not in any league.
Shane – I don’t have a high school degree … but I’m working on my GED right now.
Tina – Good for you, Shane!
Shane – Yeah … I got into this program a couple of years ago and had a course in hairdressing. And now I have a job doing that.
Tina – Hairdressing definitely has a future in this town.
Shane – Yes, definitely! I like it. I like creating new styles, you know?

Happy Holidays dbff!!!
I am happy you already did the rewrite, it would be very sad if you let your inspiration freeze by Gen Q.
I truly enjoy this rewrite!
Shane! Great way to introduce her :-) Meg is right, Tina is full of love and adopts Shane right away as her little sister. I love how you put the gang together one by one. Btw I can’t remember if the show ever explained how Shane became Bette’s friend. Did they ever?
Tina is spending quite some time at Bette’s house. Nice how T + B seem to get closer naturally. “..and this is our bedroom.” Too cute!
Happy Holidays to you too and thanks for posting. Do you really only have 7 ch left? Oh I’d wish you had more. Or another story in the making. I really like your story ideas!
Merry Christmas! and Thank you for the update!
I agree about Gec Q – i’m not watching but sometimes after their “news” i have a hard time even read Tibette’s story. And i may only guess how hard and uninspirid it can be for writers, who tried to write Tibette’s stories.
Sad.
I like that Tina is making friends with Shane. I am beginning to see Tina as a good judge of people. She sees the positive attributes in people and possibly the potential in individuals. I just hope that Bette will learn some of this as well.
Peter Pan – that was a hilarious reference. Its very hard to write humor. But this was good…
Thanks for this chapter…. Happy Christmas.
This is the times that we NEED these stories the most. Keep hope alive & so much praise and gratitude to the writers who continue with their efforts.
dbff,
listen to YOUR 4evah fans bc we KNOW a classy Author when we read her words!!
Frickin’ Bette is too damn funny when it comes to Tina…especially in a bar!! She soon as burn a whole in anybody with a “lazor look” and not give 2 flips who has to parish!!! HeHeHe!!!!!
She ain’t likely to apologize about her alpha-ness when Tina is being pursued. Tho I think she may convince her to cut Shane some slack.
Tina knows all she has to do is tell Bette to “c’mere” with a soft southern drawl and she’ll settle down immediately.
Hi,
So happy to see rewrite complete before the cold water of the new Show!
Loving this and hope you will continue writing to rectify the new show as it unwinds.
Thanks for the post, have I mentioned how much I love this Story?:-)

Keep reading! I think you can make the story longer than seven chapters, but if you start a new one that is good too. Enjoy all your stories…
Meant to say “Keep writing” not keep reading…. :)
“The producer pouts looking at Bette.
Tina – You didn’t save anything for me …?
Bette – I saved love for you.”
Now that’s one of the loveliest answer I ever read in a fanfiction ! Simply lovely…
I always felt that our dearest Bette was deeply a romantic nature but her numerous emotional scars never let her feel safe enough to take the risk to love someone – until her soulmate appear in her life, Tina.
Bette is so the opposite of Shane, who is the only true womanizer and player of the gang.
She just didn’t believe in love because of her family, that’s all.
Great chapter again, I love your story so much !!
Faithfully yours – A.
