A/N: So, I wrote this story a while back, it was actually my first fic, I posted it over at the Tibette forum. Hope someone likes it! :/
Bette sat at The Planet, nursing a drink as she usually did night after night, now that Tina was gone. It was during these lonely nights that she thought about where she had gone wrong, where they had gone wrong and all she would give to make it right again.
“But fuck, Tina doesn’t want me anymore; Tina doesn’t even want women anymore. She’s with a fucking guy, that dumb ass Henry!” Bette cursed.
“That’s where you’re wrong lil sis!” Kit exclaimed, walking up behind Bette. Kit explained that she was sure that Tina still cared about Bette, even though she went all out to try and deny it, and that despite all appearances, Tina definitely was not happy. In fact, she told Bette that Tina would ask how the gang was whenever she saw Kit.
“The gang. Just the gang. Doesn’t she ask about me?” Bette said a little bitterly and sadly.
“Baby sis, that woman of yours has an ego too alright? She can’t bring herself to say your name, but whenever she asks about the gang, I will tell her about you too, and I can see that whenever I mention your name, tears come into her eyes, but she looks decidedly happier hearing about you.” Kit admonished Bette.
“She never talks to me anymore, and she’s engaged to Henry! It’s a complete and utter reversal of whatever she had with me! Can’t you see she doesn’t want me anymore? Even if I wanted to try, I know it’s hopeless!” Bette said dejectedly.
“Oh baby sis, do I have to knock this into your head? You know for a Yale graduate, you sure are dumb. Tina’s not rejecting it, she’s scared of it. You broke her heart so badly that she associates all things lesbian with you! She’s looking for safety and normalcy, or at least what is considered normal in the eyes of society! That’s why she’s with Henry. Because he is boring and safe! I’ve heard bad things about him though and I’m a little worried for Tina.” Kit ranted.
Bette’s head whipped up at the last sentence uttered by Kit, “What bad things? Is Tina in danger? I’ll kill him if he lays a finger on her!”
“Baby girl, is that the only thing you heard me say? Well, at least you obviously still care about Tina. Yeah, I heard that that man is quite unscrupulous in his business dealings, but which lawyer isn’t? It’s his temper that’s got me worried.” Kit mused.
“Kit, I did hear what you say, and I more or less came to that conclusion by myself too, it’s just that I can’t force Tina to accept lesbian lifestyles again can I? Well, I’ll have to keep an eye on Tina just in case. Sort of her guardian angel I guess. That’s the only thing I can do for her now.” Bette replied.
“Baby girl, what do you mean the only thing you can do for her now? Go get your woman back! Before she makes the biggest mistake of her life, go fight for her, sweep her off her feet again or at least get her to trust you again!” Kit lectured.
“Easier said than done Kit, easier said than done. I rather take what I have now, than to have Tina cut me off entirely. I’m afraid that if I approach her, she’ll run even further away!” Bette confessed.
“Kit! Come and take over!” Carmen shouted from across the dance floor.
“Well, I’ve got to go relieve Carmen from DJ duties, but I’ll be back, wait for me, we’ll go back together. And you think about what I said!” Kit said as she turned towards the DJ booth.

“This song goes out to my baby sis, girl, you think about what I said alright? Listen hard to the lyrics of this song and I hope you reach a decision after this!” Kit’s voice boomed out.
She's the kinda girl boys read about in magazines, glossy magazines
She is the only one I think about leading lady in my dreams
Hey I have waited so long, to gather up my courage she has got me love drunk fumbling my words
Times running out, gotta do it now
She's the one I cannot live without
“Heck, that’s definitely my Tee, beautiful, sexy and perfection incarnate!” Bette thought.
Yeah.. she's the one I cannot live without
Yeah.. yeah.. yeah.. yeah
You only get one shot so make it count
You might never get this moment again
The clock is ticking down, it's the final round
So tell me what it is that’s stopping you now
You never know unless you try
You'll only regret sitting wondering why
You only get one shot so watch this moment go by
when love's on the line
“I would regret not trying, if I let Tee slip away, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. But it’s not that easy, what if I fail?”
I never thought that I would get the chance to tell this girl how I feel, tell her how I feel
Sometimes I pinch myself a mile away, this can't be real, this can't be real
Move faster can't wait any longer, gotta do something before she gets away
Do it like a movie, take her by the hand, I'm gonna love this girl until the end
You only get one shot so make it count
You might never get this moment again
The clock is ticking down, it's the final round
So tell me what it is that’s stopping you now
You never know unless you try
You'll only regret sitting wondering why
You only get one shot so watch this moment go by when love's on the line
When love's on the line
When love's on the line
She is the definition of beautiful she knocks me off my feet
I'mma tell her she's my everything, tell her that she's all I need, that I know she's the only reason my heart beats
Da da da.. Da da da
You might never get this moment again
(You might never get this moment again [x2])
You only get one shot so make it count
You might never get this moment again (never get this moment again)
The clock is ticking down, it's the final round
So tell me what it is that’s stopping you now
You never know (never know) unless you try (unless you try)
You'll only regret sitting wondering why (wondering why)
You only get one shot so watch this moment go by
when love's on the line
When love is on the line, when love is on the line, when love is one the line
When love's on the line (I wish I had one more chance, I wish I had one more chance)
When love's on the line.
Kit looked in Bette’s direction and saw her slowly nodding to herself. She could see the determination in Bette’s posture and the fire in her eyes again. Her baby sis was on a mission! Thank goodness she managed to knock some sense into Bette, it sure wasn’t easy, and her baby sis was the most stubborn person she had ever met! She hoped that Bette could win Tina back; it was obvious those two belonged to each other!
