the Planet
chapter 7
The Planet
Bette relaxed with her friends at their favorite table at the Planet and her face hurt from so much smiling. Alice was in rare form, Shane was a happy Shane, Lara was chatting and even Jenny didn’t seem so crazy.
They were joined by Alice’s veterinarian girlfriend, Kelly. She was fascinated with the gang and was particularly interested in being around Bette Porter, a woman she had heard so much about.
“Shane’s becoming famous for giving Mohawks,” Alice informed Bette who smiled skeptically. “Then the people are having their hair dyed so the Mohawk is a rainbow color. Shane charges them a fortune.”
“Then Shane should buy this round,” Bette smiled and Shane generously produced the money and deposited it on the table.
“How are your fish doing, Al?” Lara asked.
They all laughed, knowing at least some of the story of how Alice and Kelly met because Al had sick fish.
“Great. It helps that my girlfriend is a vet.”
“I didn’t know that vets treated fish,” Bette commented with eyes twinkling.
“I don’t, but it’s very hard to say ‘no’ to Alice,” explained Kelly.
They all grinned and waited expectantly to hear the whole story.
“Dr. Barnes,” her receptionist had said. “There’s this crazy woman in the waiting area with a small bowl of fish.”
“Fish?”
“They’re sort of lethargic. And she thinks you should treat them.”
“I don’t treat fish. I eat them.”
“Well, I told her that. Not about the eating, but that you didn’t treat fish.”
“And.”
“She made some comment about your not caring for animals. ‘What kind of vet is she?’ The crazy woman said.”
The receptionist explained that apparently Alice had attracted a certain amount of attention in the waiting area.
“Fancy that,” chuckled Bette, clearly delighted with the story.
“Anyway, after appealing to her sense of vet duty,” Alice explained, “she agreed to see me. And the rest is history.”
“How’re the fish?” Bette asked.
“Great,” Al confirmed. “Kelly’s receptionist knows about fish, so she told me what to do and I just call her if I have a question.”
“She calls her daily,” Kelly raised her eyebrows. “My receptionist wants a raise.”
All noticed that Bette was more like the old Bette than they had seen in a long time. Her appetite was good. She laughed, joked and just generally had a good time. They were all so happy because their friend had been “gone” so long.

You make everything sound so easy,yet Bette know that from one coast to the other can seem like a million miles. Bette enjoyed her self that is really all that matters at this point. Bette can conquer the whole. Let Tina find Bette she will see a different Bette. thanks for posting thanks UT is doing great. Yankee I will not knock them but watch out for the METS thank Been doing timming at the local high school.Swinning team Love it
I kept thinking an oh shit moment was about to happen at The Planet. Thank god it didn’t.
“Kit,” Bette continued. “It was the best month of my life.”…..”That takes in quite a bit.”……”Yes, it does,” Bette said softly.——–Uh, Tina who? Not to worry all, I am still a TiBetter at heart, but I sure am enjoying this particular author’s story about this particular pairing. Thanks!!
Hmmm, if it has been the best month of Bette’s life (and it sure sounds like it was) Tina may be able to locate her and still not find what she seeks. That begs the question of what Tina wants and if dear Tina herself can identify it. But that would be another chapter.
will tina find bette? hmm…not sure it will happen here but i’ll be glad to see angelica back in bette’s life at least
Sorry, Tina…ix-nay on the ussy…(well, you all know the rest)…Thanks, Pancha!
Oh yeeaaaah, Bette is back!! It is so nice to see her standing strong. Thanks, Pancha
yeah, let her find her. who in their right mind would leave a bette. thanks it was great as always.
pancha…I crave your story. I just love the pairing of Bette and the Senator. I am a huge TiBetter but the way you write Bette and Barbara is just so damn appealing (at least for me). PPS. I hope your health is improving and you’re doing well.
I am so glad that Bette is back to her ols self. I hope tina doesn’t find her for sometime. Thanks PPS
I like how you have made the senator more emotional and not just on the prowl for pussy. I think Bette is so done with Tina but you are amazing and could take this any number of ways.
Bette will NEVER forget about Angelica…all the pussy in the world will not make that happen. I am glad Alpha Bette is back (thank you Barbara) I really hope Alpha Bette is back on the show this season also. Even if B&T don’t get back together this season on the show…let us please have Alpha Bette back. I think all the Tibetters like this story cause Helena is not the one turning Bette’s head for a change (not that those stories aren’t hot) but someone different was needed. I am sure you will have Tina see what she lost soon so keep posting.
Bette is so happy and so am I…for her!!!
Loving this story, and it continues to fascinate me how you have so many hard core TiBetters hooked on this story! A tribute to your writing ability and style. This is a great story, and I hope you post again soon! Can’t wait to see where you take us. I really do like the idea of BarBette in this fic!
I’ll say it agin: “Tina ,Who?” Most excellent update Pancha, I could feel Bette’s happiness. Hopefully when Tina finds her she’ll still have that shit-eating grin on her face. Then again seeing Tina right now may bring about the opposite of feelings. It would be so cool if Senator Barbara showed up at the planet, wearing the green sweater, making a grand entrance and giving Bette a toe-curling kiss as the patrons look on in wonder(especially Tina). Post soon!
so Bette will play it cool and let Tina find her huh?…GOOD!! I love TiBette but I have to say, I sometimes tire of Bette pining for Tina like she is god’s gift to women, when it’s Bette who is the real prize…..anywho rant over……you are doing a terrific job with this fic. and bette needs someone strong and powerful like the senator.
Lol Tina who? “The best month of my life” don’t let Tina find out, that hurt! but my Tibetter heart is happy for Bette, clearly this is not the same couple of Angel fire, or is it the same before the reconciliation? LMAO I know stupid question, nah! make our girl happy.
It’s wonderful to see a blissful Bette. The only thing she needs from Tina is regular visitation or shared custody of Angel. Thanks for another fine chapter.
I loves me some happy megawatt smile Bette. Thanks p. : )
The best month of her life? Really? rather surprising statement,considering she was with Tina for 8 years and a baby too.Sen Barb must’ve been some powerful Stuff. I Hope Tina finds Bette. They talk it out, and Tina leaves. If this is NOT A TiBETTE story,then really neither one should be chasing down the other. Bette’s forgot about Angie,maybe Tina should take the baby and leave,since Bette’s all about Barbra now(sigh). Loving this fic pancha. Post soon!
Good chapter. Is good Bette is happy again. Let Tina find and see a different Bette and see what she lose here. OK post soon please, thanks!
A happy Bette is back, I liked the last line, “I’ll let her find me” and Tina will find her, hopefully Tina will come to her senses and let Angelica back in Bette’s life. Looking forward to reading more. Thank you.
