This oneshot takes place during season six in an AU universe where Bette and Tina did not get back together in season five. They shared the kiss at Shebar, but that was it. Bette decided she couldn't cheat on Jodi. Tina is still in love with Bette and Bette still has feelings for Tina. Disclaimer: I do not own Bette, Tina, or any part of the L Word. In addition, I do not own any part of Friends and I would like to thank the show for giving me some inspiration for my oneshots.

Just Friends, Part Six

Part Two of Part Six

(Bette and Jodi are sitting on Bette's couch)

Bette: (touching Jodi's shoulder and trying to turn her so that they were facing) Jodi… Jodi… can you please look at me?

Jodi: (sighed, glancing at Bette who winced at the look of distraught in her ex-girlfriend's eyes) I… (Jodi looked away again)

Bette: (brought Jodi's face to hers) (signing) I'm sorry, Jodi. I never thought that this could happen… I never thought that I could feel this way again.

Jodi: (signing) I knew.

Bette: (spoken) What?

Jodi: (sighs) (signing) I remember watching you two interact at Shebar that one night and I remember how you two acted during the Pink Ride. I knew that nothing was going on, but I saw the way you two looked at each other. Had I not loved you with my entire heart and soul, I would have let you gone back to her a long time ago.

Bette: (confused) What?

Jodi: (takes Bette's hand) (spoken) Go tell Tina how you feel. You two love each other and I love you too much to stand in the way of your happiness.

Bette: (looks at Jodi and kisses her softly) Thank you.

(Bette bursts into Tina's apartment)

Bette: Tina? Tina?

Shane: Bette?

(Shane walks out of Tina's room and towards Bette)

Bette: Shane? Where's Tina?

Shane: (surprised) You don't know? Tina just left for New York.

Bette: (backs against the wall) What? She wasn't supposed to leave for another two days!

Shane: She was asked to come early and she realized there wasn't any reason for her to stay longer.

Bette: (upset) Are you fucking kidding me?

Shane: Bette… you knew she was leaving… what's wrong?

Bette: I…

Shane: (smiles) You love her, don't you?

Bette: (whispered) I've always loved her.

Shane: (grabs Bette's hand) Then let's go.

Bette: (confused) Go where?

Shane: (grins) Tina's flight doesn't leave for another hour. If we pull an Alice, we can get there in time.

Bette: Pull an Alice? I actually like living Shane.

Shane: (laughs) Trust me.

Bette: SHANE! SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

Shane: (shouts back) DO YOU WANT TO GET TO TINA?

Bette: I DON'T WANT TO GET THERE IN A BODY BAG!

Shane: I TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE PULLING AN ALICE! YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!

Bette: (stares out her window) Shane, you passed the airport!

Shane: We're not going that way! (Shane sharply turns the car) I know a short cut.

Bette: (attempts to grab onto the wheel) Shane, we're not even on the road!

Shane: (drives off of the grass and back onto the road, not even parking the car as she jumps out) Come on! We're wasting time!

Bette: (follows Shane) I knew you were going to be the death of me, Shane McCutcheon! (leads the way to the ticket booth) One ticket to New York please. (Shane coughs) What?

Shane: I just risked my life to help you and I don't even get to see how it turns out?

Bette: (rolls her eyes) Fine. Two tickets to New York.

Attendant: (fake smile) That will be one thousand dollars.

Bette: Are you fucking kidding me?

Shane: Bette! We're wasting time!

Bette: Fine, fine. (pays the attendant) Come on, Shane. Let's go find Tina.

Shane: (grins) Yeah! Let's go find your woman!

The two of them run through airport security before reaching the gate.

Bette: Do you see her?

Shane: No.

Bette: Tina! Tina!

Shane: (shouting) TINA!

Tina: (looks up from one of the chairs) What the fuck? (Tina makes her way over to Bette and Shane) What are you guys doing here?

Shane: (pats Bette on the back) Your turn, Porter.

Tina: Bette, what's going on? Is everyone okay?

Bette: Tina… (pauses)

Tina: Bette, you're really scaring me.

Bette: Tina, how long have we known each other?

Tina: Are we really doing this right now, Bette? I have to catch a plane in five minutes.

Bette: (whispered) Don't go.

Tina: (confused) What?

Bette: Please stay.

Tina: (sighs) I don't have a reason to stay.

Bette: Stay for Shane, stay for Alice… (pauses) Stay for me.

Tina: Bette…

Bette: (takes Tina's face in her hands and kisses her passionately) Please.

Tina: (her face an inch away from Bette's) What about Jodi?

Bette: I broke up with her. I love you, Tina, I've always loved you.

Tina: Bette, think about this. We were…

Bette: (shakes her head) I don't want to think about the past.

Bette kisses Tina again.

Shane: Woo!

Bette and Tina chuckle and hold each other close.

(Shane, Alice, Tasha, Helena, Jenny, and Max are at the Planet together)

Helena: What the fuck?

Alice: Why weren't we invited on this great plan of yours, Shaney?

Shane chuckles, sitting next to Jenny who is leaning against her. They have obviously made up.

Shane: I didn't come up with any plan. I just told Bette to move her ass and she did.

Helena: (smiles) I can't believe they are back together.

Jenny: So where are they?

Shane: Well they had two tickets to New York so they went for a romantic weekend.

Alice: (grins) And to tell Tina's bosses that there is no way in hell she is moving!

Shane: (laughs) Yeah.

Tasha: (takes her espresso and lifts it up) To Bette and Tina!

Helena: Tibette!

Jenny: What the fuck was that?

Helena: (shrugs laughing) I don't know. I thought it sounded like a good nickname for them

Max: (chuckles) There is no way in hell that that is going to catch on.
