“Senator, absolutely not. This is the wealthiest country in the world. I find it hard to believe that our men and women fighting in this senseless war in Iraq don’t have the equipment they need. That-that is inexcusable, but it has nothing to do with funding the Arts, not pornography, or making sure our public schools are safe, that teachers are qualified, that there is no such thing as hunger in America. I would say that the problem isn’t social issues, Arts, education, but. . . and maybe I’m wrong, but I would say ‘pork’ going to various states for their pet projects might be why our armed forces don’t have what they need in Iraq and Afghanistan. Could-could it be that we’d have an abundance of funding for everyone if the government weren’t buying $25,000 toilets.”
“You’re quite a smart girl. . .”
“Woman.”
“But you don’t know anything about politics—that’s evident.”
“Bette Porter?”
Bette thought, thank god. She could have easily ripped this old fart a new one if she could have persuaded him to follow her to another room. And he would have followed if he thought she was going to give him a little. Bette turned away from the man to look at the small statured, brunette woman. “Yes?” She smiled, recognizing the woman and extending her hand to her. “Hello.”
“Barbara Boxer.”
“Yes, I know. You’re one of my senators.”
“I’m thrilled to finally meet you.”
“You’re thrilled to meet me?” Bette wondered how the woman knew anything about her.
“I read quite a bit about you during your tenure at the CAC, especially the boycott headed by Fae Buckley.”
“Oh, God. That-that was just. . .”
“I know. Our offices have dealt with Ms. Buckley time and time again. She’s quite the handful and her style comes across very mild-mannered. . . .”
Bette interrupted, “Until she starts twisting the screws.”
“I don’t like to say it, but she’s vicious. Unfortunately for you, most of the Senators on the committee you spoke to this afternoon have taken a great deal of campaign money from Buckley and her group.”
Bette rolled her eyes and sighed. “She’s just an albatross around my neck.”

I love this story!!! I hope Bettte can get to Tina and make her understand that she’s the one Bette loves and wants to be with. Stephanie is a cunt!!!
Holy cow 28 pages lol. That shows absolute dedication on your part,excellence. Everyone get their share of loving even B&T, but of course had to be from a dream or an altered state of mind. It was so sad to read about Tina and her fight to regain control of her mind. Bette’s loneliness is also heartbreaking and she is in a fight of her life for her family. Glad Helena is there to help. I need to read it again to be sure I did not missed anything :)
28 pages! You are amazing!! Hope we’d always get that long. =P Bette needs to calm down. What she needs least at the moment is an against mother. Hope Bette go back to Tina soon and take her into her arms. Poor Tee.
Loved ever word took me a long time and a few breaks. but it was so darn good. thanks
Portia….what can a person say….bliss, you spoil us readers!!! Your dedication to detail, you own this story totally. I can feel it though, it’s comming the high drama, hanging by a thread…will you continue with your own version of S4?? You make this story seem real, shane and the chillies…too funny, painful, but funny. Pls don’t quit I’ll wait patiently for more chapters…now I’m off to reread again, and again!!!! Thankyou so much
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bring it on kennards versus Peabody and Porter!!!!!!!!
A person like Stephanie makes me remember that although nuture plays a big role in how a child will turn out nature also has its imperfections. There must be more to the Stephanie, Theresa and Christina dynamic. Could it be that the youngest daughter is envious of her sister? There has to be some motive for the amount of hate in her towards the people that she supposedly loves. Or her mother must have dropped her on her head as a kid. Anyways I think you captured how Bette would act perfectly but I would really like, and I have no idea what your plans are, for her to confront this issue head on not put her sister in a position where she has to do what she should do whether or not Theresa had anything to do with that injunction she has been giving Bette the support that she needed since this entire debacle began so Bette should at least confront her with this supposed betrayal. You have indeed made this story your own but amazingly enough you stay really true to the characters and yet you have managed to let them evolve. I especially like what your doing with Shane something I think IC should have tackled as a writer but alas IC is into fluff and some of us are into substance. Thanks
wow….the sharmen scenes were pretty awesome!!! Very intense! Brilliant job!
WOW…OMG… i read this at work last night… Well portia… all i can say is that it was brilliant… i have one concern… i don’t think theresa would do what that paper says… i do think its all steph… and i do hope bette lets theresa say her peace…i hope kit can get them to talk… and they all work together and bring down that bitch… her boyfriend should also know that she is fucking around with the doctor… love this story… but you don’t have tp post a book all of the time… we would love any update you want to share… thanks… please continue
Portia, as always, it was fucking brilliant. I really loved the part where Carmen accidentally fucked Shane with chile residue on her hands–that was hilarious! Wow–one of the best chapters ever!
Well it took me 2 days but I finally caught up with your story and it is fucking excellent. The scene with Melvin was brillant! This is truly a great story!
Another stunning installment of this story. The way you weave the real events of the episodes into the fictional events of your story is remarkable and always believable. Great writing and great reading! Thank you so much!
You’ve done it again. Your version puts the official one to shame. Brava, Portia!
Wow, great update.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful story. I appreciate your dedication to writing 28 excellent pages. I enjoyed reading each page and appreciate all the detail and effort you put in. I can’t wait to see Bette tackle the Kennard’s. With Helena on her side, the Kennard family won’t know what hit them. Hopefully, Shane will be able to tell Carmen she loves her and I wish Tina would get well enough to tell her family to leave her, Bette & Angelica alone. Please continue…
Oh my god! Words fail me! You are the master! You are the master! I’ll come back later and make detailed comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this excellent, excellent story!
You have blown this fanfic site out of the water! Hell, there IS no water! Whatever behooves you to write so well, so long and so in depth, I salute it and you! I bow to the master! Oop, I’m repeating myself. I stayed up well past my bedtime (it’s 3:00 AM here) and the bedroom door may be locked. I’ll probably have to spend the rest of the early morning sleeping in my computer chair with my feet up on the case on the floor. And yes, it was and is worth it!!! I have anticipated this story coming around again. You have outdone all my expectations. Do I gush much? Portia Only. Only Portia!
L Word and Capriati in the same story : JUST PERFECT !!!!! So addict to this story. Great job !!
WOW, but for god sakes let Tina’s mom make Bette understand that it was not her but Stephanie. Let her help fight that bitch to keep Tina safe and with Bette. They do not need any more pain than they are ready have.
i hope bette finds out this all stephanie and not theresa-soon
This story is fucking amazing. It must have taken forever to write this many pages but with excellent detail and interesting dialogue. It was all great. Thank you so much.
I wish nothing but violence on Stephanie – maybe she and the Doc can fall victim to appletini poison or a long hard fall off a very high cliff prehaps? This story really is wonderful – you’ve given these characters so much breath. I felt like voyeur with B/T in the hotel – you painted such a vivid/descriptive picture.
Another terrific installment. Now I see why you were gone so long…28 pages wow. Absolutely loving your story. I have my suspicions that Terese knows about the suit. I’m holding out hope that its just shitty Stephanie. I hope Alice and Dana can figure out how to communicate–love that you’ve kept them together. Thanks for a wonderful update.
Oops! should read: Teresa knows nothing about the suit :)
wonderful chapter yet if full of drama :D The Bette and Barbara love scene was soo amazing :heart: And the B&T love scene is something we needed to see from long time… I simply adore how you pictured Helena, high heels but caring and ready to fight on the right side :D And her dynamics with Bette are wonderful :PKeep it on, I check every two days to see if you published another chapter as I’m eager to read it (knowing it must take long time to write and correct so many pages of work) Really many thanks for your efforts :D You’re appreciated, a lot :nod:
