    Author Notes:

    **spoiler alert** Anyone current with the season, the title says it all

    The sun was peaking through the curtains. It was an unseasonably warm February morning in LA. Like so many mornings over the past couple of months, Alice was watching Dana eat her breakfast. She reveled in the thought that she could share these moments with Dana. Best friends, lover or ex lover, it didn’t matter to Alice. Dana was her heart. She had given to Dana with no hesitation and never thought to take it back. Through all of the pain and sheer lunacy following their breakup, she never regretted loving Dana. She only regretted giving her a reason to go. Sometimes love makes a person do things she never thought she was capable of. Alice was a prime example of that.

     

    But in moments like this, after all that has happened, watching Dana in the morning made Alice smile. It was simply that Dana was here for one more day. When you’re young, and damn they were too young to be dealing with this, that thought is something you tend to take for granted. We can let a week or a month or seven months go by thinking there will always be tomorrow. If nothing else, this was one hell of a wake up call. Alice still wasn’t quite ready to face the real possibilities of the situation.

     

    Cancer is a bad word. But Dana was a young healthy athlete. People like that don’t die young. So the fact that the cancer had spread and was in her lymph system didn’t quite register. Maybe it wasn’t that it didn’t register so much as Alice refused to go there. She couldn’t. The thought of a world that didn’t have Dana in it was just too overwhelming. So in that place where Alice stayed, where Dana couldn’t die, the cancer in the lymph system was something that they could beat. Positive thinking and following a strict regimen of food intake and supplements and of course following every last detail that the doctors suggested would manage to beat the cancer in the race through Dana’s body. Somehow the mix of eastern and western medicine would stymie the cancer that was using the lymph system to find short cuts through Dana’s body to where it could do the most damage.

    2. More tears I really dont like to shed tears This was so sad ,are we lookinf into next week or the week after. Cancer is such a deadly thing it takes you strnght and your love one also thanks so much for posting this

    3. omg.. it was so good that im leaving my first comment ever! until now, Drowning has been my favorite fic. but this… im never crying over fictional things but this.. im speechless.. and i still have a little faith that my favorite character wont end up like that… anyway: im claping for you!

    4. It is all so sad!!!! (The tears are streaming down my face.) But thank you for posting this story. I think your version is better than the one we are going to see next week (according to the spoilers).

    5. *wipes away the tears* I’m speechless and happy, just because it’s a much better ending to the relationship than the show. Thank you very much for writing this story =)

    6. Okay, I was just trying to get use to the idea of no more Dana…I just can’t. I know it’s over the fat lady has sung (not the Betty one), but it’s still hard. I cried over your version of next week and I guess I’m gonna cry next week until the end of this season. I can’t say I totally hated S3, but I don’t think I’ll buy the DVD like I did the others. I wish they had your version of the end…thanx for the post. Mad Love, Peace

    7. There are no circumstances that can make me happy after Dana’s death, but at least Dana had the chance to make Alice understand that it was her she loved – only her.

    9. Cid, you got me teary eyed the first time so I thought it will be safe this time round. Guess what I was wrong. Nope, I’m still not ready to deal with this lol. Thanks for this sad but wonderfully written piece.

    10. OMG can not believe what is happening in the show, here in Australia is the begining of the 2 season. Why they Kill DANA ….. I adore here, guys your stories are moch better than the show

    11. Thank you..that was beautiful! I have tears STILL streaming down my face as i write this. I really hate this storyline, not only because Dana is my favorite character (besides Alice) but i had a friend die of breast cancer last year…so this hits close to home. I know the inevitable will happen to our favorite “Miss Dana” next week, I only wish that the writers will have her confess her love to Alice the way you did in your story.

    13. i almost read this on my blackberry on the way home from work – being as i could barely see the last paragraph through the tears, i am gonna go ahead and say the car ride home wouldn’t have gone so well for me. amazing story. great song – never heard it. i can only hope the writers give us 10% of a storyline like this one for danish. thanks alot.

    15. That letter was beautiful. I too am clinging to the small hope that somehow Ilene will bring Dana out of her cancer. I absolutely hate the direction my favorite characters are going. How can you not have Dana without Alice or vice versa? I have enjoyed all the adorable Danish moments so far this season- I guess if you want to look on the brighter side. By the way, I was so excited to see that you had posted. I’ve missed your stories- you have a way of writing Danish that is so perfect. I have to admit, I’m pretty scared to see this next episode…but I’m still clinging to that shred of hope in me. Thanks for posting! I’d like to see some of our Danish writers rebel against the show and maybe have some happily-ever-after fluff for Danish. Great job!

    16. I do not want this to happen but it looks like it will anyway got tears in my eyes so god know what I will be like if it does happen on the show which I am such that we all think that it will we just hope for the best but if dana was to pull though this then I would love to see her and alice back together again well done great post

    18. ooohhh i just want to scream i really hope that this will happen on the show i cant watch if dana isnt gonna be on there…i am so scared…so afraid…anyways good writing.

    22. I know this comment is completely late, but it took me a long time to get used to the idea of Dana/Erin being gone. Therefore took me a long time to read this, and even though I still don’t like what has, by now, already happened, I love this story. And I think that you did Al and Dana’s relationship better justice than the writers…that letter at the end was beautiful. Especially the part about the smile. Anyway, thanks for sharing your talent…
