“Dana!”

Alice could just make out the tennis player’s fit physique as it ran down the street. “Why, out of ALL the people in this world, do I have to chase after a person who runs for a living?” she asked nobody in particular, exasperated by the current situation. Alice hated running, she hated practically all sports because she just wasn’t good at them, and tonight was no exception. But she knew that if she let Dana run away, chances are the woman would be too frightened to contact her again, and something kept telling Alice that she needed to hold onto her, for both Dana’s sake and her own.

“Dana!” Alice yelled out again as she sprinted down the main street, oblivious to the people watching her. Her hair, clothes, and all her work was soaked, and she eventually came to the awful realisation that she had lost sight of Dana. Cursing herself for not acting faster, she turned around and slowly made her way to her small blue mini. It was then she remembered – Dana’s car had broken down, and not just nearby but almost ten minutes away, and that was by car.

As always with Alice, she thought of the worst possible scenarios. “She’s going to develop pneumonia and get struck by lightening!” That was enough to find herself speeding down the streets of LA in a desperate attempt to find Dana. About two minutes into her search Alice found her, walking slowly through the rain, her arms wrapped around her shivering body. Alice parked her car at the top of the street, and got out, running towards the figure with a blanket she conveniently found in the backseat of her messy car.

“Come hear! You’re going to kill yourself!” The voice startled Dana, who was to deeply involved in her thoughts to notice the rain or the person who was standing in front of her.

“Alice?” Never in a million years did Dana think that Alice would follow her this far. Sure, she had heard her calling out back at The Planet, but embarrassment got the best of her and she had ignored it, figuring Alice would soon give up and leave her alone. And now, lovely Alice was standing in front of her, with a worried expression on her face.
