The Real Tibette Watch Gen Q – Episode 1
‘I know,’ Tina said, sipping her tea. ‘But it’s still bullshit, Bette. Look at it . . . They’re making out that she went looking for something different.’
‘Who?’
‘Me. Fake me.’
Bette, not for the first time, felt a shiver at how weird it was seeing an alternate version of their lives. ‘Are you saying you wouldn’t go for someone like that?’ she asked.
‘Someone like what?’
‘Y’know – butch.’
Tina chuckled and shook her head. ‘Why does nobody get Fake Tina? Why is everyone so . . . clueless? They’re playing it like Carrie is some kind of big change but love was never about looks for Fake Tina. Even though Fake Bette is beautiful, that isn’t what attracted her. Like, remember how caring you were when we first met? How you looked after me at the gallery and how gentle and affectionate you were? That’s all on the inside, baby. This . . .’ She reached out and caressed Bette’s face. ‘This is just a bonus.’
***
‘Can’t deal with Sophie,’ Bette said a minute later, pulling a cushion onto her lap and hugging it. Solly tried to work his way under the cushion. Bette pushed him away but then a minute later she put it over her face as pondlife Jose continued to be awful to Micah. Solly barked. Tina laughed at them.
***
‘Fake Angie in da house!’
Real Angie’s real moms raised their cups again and toasted their fake daughter as she walked along the street on TV with her girlfriend.
‘I still like her,’ Bette beamed.
‘Yeah, this one’s okay.’
***
They next sat wincing through a scene in which Fake Bette whines about dying alone to Fake Alice and Fake Shane, all whilst looking like the most eligible single lesbian ever in the entire history of lesbians.
‘As if Fake Bette wouldn’t have been meat-tagged for months by now,’ Tina said.
Bette glanced at her. ‘She’s not looking for just a casual hook-up, Tee.’
Tina’s eyes widened. ‘You mean . . .?’
‘Yes, Tina.’ Bette nodded solemnly. ‘Growth. Actual growth.’
***
A little later Fake Bette was again looking incredible whilst walking and talking to an old man wearing a violently purple suit.
‘Zakarian?’ Bette said. ‘Is that a play on Gagosian?’

Hey Largo,
Saw your post. Can’t wait to read what you have in store for us!!!
Looking forward to some much needed fluff!!!!
Hello, my friend! Thank you so much for popping this story in your inbox, haha
Hope you enjoy it. (I know you’re not watching Gen Q so bits of it might not make sense!) It’s really just an excuse to bathe in Tibette happy family life. :-)
Thank you for the story!
It was funny and light story. But i wish we will see true Bette reaction on episode 202, especially after her words about fake Bette
“Bette glanced at her. ‘She’s not looking for just a casual hook-up, Tee.’
Tina’s eyes widened. ‘You mean . . .?’
‘Yes, Tina.’ Bette nodded solemnly. ‘Growth. Actual growth.’” :)
Hi Zhenya! Hope you are well and thank you for reading this new story. :-)
I’m wondering whether to write one of these for each of the Gen Q S2 episodes, so if I do that then you will see Real Bette’s reaction to the Gigi love scene, lol
Thanks again. Great to hear from you.

What we fixed, stayed fixed. BOTTOM LINE
Hiya Dumplin! I hope your comment means you liked the story? But in any case, thank you for reading it and for commenting. I appreciate it.
Largo
Indeed I do like! Keep goin’!!!
Delightful story Largo…. nice to see that Bette and Tina have more children. Its what they both wanted. Bette being the caregiver and Tina being the bread winner seems natural enough… I actually would like to see them connecting the Tina of Season 1 to the Tina of Season 2… Tina’s desire to remain a family when she has been absent for the most part for two years… does this include Carrie? How well does Fake Bette even know Carrie? What exactly do they see the backstory is on why Fake Bette and Fake Tina are divorced. And most importantly, how do they think the story will go for this season. Will Fake Bette and Fake Tina go their separate ways or will there be a potential reunion?
What I love is the “What we fixed, stayed fixed…” Thanks for writing…..look forward to more.
Hi Martha! Thank you very much for reading this and for commenting. You are always such a great analyst. :-)
I was really delighted to be able to grant Tibette more children with just the wave of a pen. It’s how I’d love to have seen them. I’m glad it how you see them too.
It’s interesting to me that you detect a disconnect between the S1 and S2 versions of Tina. I hadn’t thought of it, but I can see it now. And yes, I can only imagine that Carrie is who she envisages having this family she says she wants. Of course it’s all somewhat moot, with Angie all but away to college, but Gen Q doesn’t bother with so many things that don’t add up.
As to your last question…… That’s the only reason we’re watching, isn’t it? Personally, I’m keeping the faith.
Thanks again & take care

Agree with the other comments. I love this story so very much. You made me smile. You have made a lot of readers smile. From now on those characters are all Fake to me. Well done!!!!! I hope there is more. To keep everyone sane? Pretty please?? I agree with Martha – so great that they have more children. THIS is the way it should be.
Hiya Billy! Thanks very much for reading this story and for commenting. It means a lot to me. :-)
I’m so, so pleased I made you smile. It’s why I wrote this – to make myself happy and hopefully one or two other folk as well. Gen Q is not fun to watch or, (in my case, read about) as long as Tibette aren’t together, so this is helping me.
Thank you for requesting more as well. It’s my pleasure to write for this site and to be among such talented writers and supportive readers. I am reading your story as well and will comment on the latest chapter very soon.
Thanks again & take care

Largo ,
Excellent start & YES, please continue with a chapter for each GQ episode!!! That would be marvelous. We so need this.
Agree with the other folks that commented in that the GQ characters are all fake & not real for us. We all want the happy Tibette ending!!
Loved the little bits of convo between the ‘real life’ Bette & Tina & how they have been able to manager their lives since moving to NYC. This is definitely how it should have been. If only someone with half a brain would have been in charge with GQ.
So please continue & grace us with your talent!!!
Thanks so much.
Hey Collins, my good pal! Thank you so much for reading this and commenting. :-)
I’m enjoying Doctor of Hope a lot and I hope (no pun intended) to read more on that soon?
It will be my pleasure to write a story for each of these Gen Q episodes. Thank you for saying you’d like that. It’s so easy and a lot of fun to imagine what Tibette’s successful, loving life would be like in NYC. I only wish we could have seen something like it on the show. But fanfic to the rescue, lol
Thanks again, for all your support and friendship. It means a lot.
Take care
Largo
