It had been over a month since that day outside her apartment. A month since the day that she
decided they were better off friends. In her mind, is was the only way she could guarantee the athlete would always be there. As it turns out, she was wrong.
Alice was jerked from her thoughts by snapping fingers, dangerously close to her face. She looked up to see an amused Bette Porter.
"Well hello there. Welcome back my dear. Is this seat taken?"Alice smiled sheepishly up at her friend and nodded for her to sit.
"Bette Porter…what brings you to these parts at…6:30 in the morning? Jesus…What am I doing here for that matter?" Alice heard Bette laugh and couldn’t help but join her.
"Well Al, try to remember that I actually have a regular, full-time job I have to show up to everyday. So if I want coffee, then I have to come in early. What’s your excuse?"
"Couldn’t sleep…articles to write…you know…the usual…too much shit going on up in here." Alice pointed to her head.
Bette smiled warmly at her friend and reached across the table to ruffle the writers hair.
"Hey! Come on now! Why does everybody do that? What is it about my hair that screams, ruffle me?" Alice pouted.
"I don’t know, Al…I guess it’s more your personality maybe? You are like a puppy sometimes. You’re usually in trouble, or causing it in some way, but you are so damn lovable and charming that you get away with it…yeah….our little puppy." Alice slapped Bette’s hand away as she reached over to mess up her hair even more.
"Ok. Two thing Bette. One, you’re a bitch and I am not a fucking puppy. Two, it was supposed to be a rhetorical question." She folded her arms grumpily.
Alice wanted to be mad but when she felt a soft touch on her arm and looked up into worried eyes, she sighed and put her head down on the table. "I miss her Bette."
"I know."
Dana was out for her morning jog when she decided to take a new trail. It was almost 8:00 so she hoped it would dump her somewhere near The Planet. She needed her coffee fix. As she ran, she took in the beauty of everything around her and couldn’t help but smile. She had been seeing Lara for two weeks now and it was going really well. Initially, Dana didn’t think that there was really anything between them, but that was largely because she was hung up on Alice. As she thought of her friend, her smile began to fade. ‘Can I even call her a friend? We haven’t spoken in a month.’ Dana pondered. The first few days after their "Talk" Shane stayed by her side, making sure she ate and made it to and from practice. She encouraged her to spend time with Lara, if for no other reason than to have a friend outside of their circle. It had been a huge help talking to Lara. She didn’t know Alice or the rest of the group and so she was able to give a more unobstructed opinion. Lara was sweet and beautiful, and she had been so patient with her. On their first official date, Dana had been so nervous. She was stuttering and clumsy as usual, but the redhead didn’t seem to mind one bit. Dana was no where near being ‘in love’ with the chef, but she was certainly ‘in like.’ She was so lost in her own thoughts that she ran smack into another runner, effectively knocking them both to the ground.

As I don’t have the skill to write such good stories, the only thing I can do as a dedicated and loyal Danish fan (fic reader), is to comment on all these lovely Danish stories. :D I loved the fact the love for Alice was visible in Dana’s eyes. And Alice’s little dance – which was so adorable – made me think of the lyrics ‘Do a little dance/Make a little love/Get down tonight/Get down tonight’. Here, that’s something Alice and Dana could do…right (hint, hint)? :P I know, I know…let them first have that coffee and see if they are actually capable of talking to each other without resulting in one (or both) of them being hurt.
Now I’m hopeful again. “When the walls come crumbling down, when the walls come crumbling tumbling crumbling tumbling down…” John Mellancamp
great update. thank you for this. i’m looking forward to the next!
Suh-weet, you updated, and I friggin love this story! Sorry, excuse my geek language. What I meant to say was I fuckin love this story:) Anyways, thanks for the happier ending on this one, and I can’t wait for your next update, so please post soon! (Also, protective Dana rocks!)
Aww! this was a really nice chapter to read Suze..much, much lighter than the last one lol. The closeness that they still have when they meet up again is undeniable. So this will help them to find their way back to each other, right? Dana caring and protecting Alice, and Alice loving Danas touch shouts out.. LOVE to me [but maybe im just a hopeless romantic, sigh] Danish just bein together and havin coffee is a good start, and will do me for now!! Thank-you my friend! post soon and have a great week on your travels.
Firstly so sorry I didn’t comment on your other chapters. Truth of the matter is I lost this fic somehow and only stumbled on it again tonight. Needless to say it was an absolute delight to read it. You’re doing a fantastic job, and even though the Lara/Dana thing is still there, I have faith in you! You will restore Danish for us… right…
Ok..this was sooo much better. I couldn’t help but get teary eyed over the last chapter! It was soooo sad. This is what I’m talking about…the banter between these two..the love with every look, every touch. It’s so real. I can’t wait to see what happens with this “one cup” I’m pulling for a happy ending, but you already knew that. You know, I’ve been reading stories from this site for a year now and I never even thought about writing for it. I don’t know, guess I’d be too afraid I’d suck lol…I’ll think about it. Maybe I can come up with something and get back to you, see if your genius self agrees lol Update soon! :)
Great update my friend! The connection is absolutely there. They belong together, I love protective Dana a lot. And coffee sounds like a very good start for some alone time between the two. Looking forward to the next update when you can.
Loved it, I swear you get better with each post! And um I’m all packed up now with my wife to move to LA are you guys ok over there? lol :P -x-
Ok, im totally addicted to this story so keep up the excellent work and post again soon please!!!! I have total faith you will reunite Danish xx
Yet again, I’m late to the party. I truly love this, you’re able to convey the depths of their emotions through each action and gesture, intimate in their own form. Very descriptive and a good study in human’s reactions. Been people watching? lol. looking forward to that coffee date! Well Done!
