“I think you should talk about it on the Chart, Al.” Dana said as lightly as she could, tensing when she heard Alice’s sharp intake of breath.
“Well…maybe. I mean, it’s not like the entire population of Los Angeles doesn’t know I’m insane.” Alice gripped the steering wheel so hard her knuckles turned white, utterly despising the idea of admitting her drug use to the radio audience at large.
“Come on, you know I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that you said you didn’t want to go back to the group sessions, and I know you’re talking through it with Helena, but maybe it’d be good to just get it out there, you know?”
“Yeah, I know. And I’ll think about it, okay? I still have until tonight to come up with something.”
“Yeah,” Dana replied, starting to pace again. She was going nuts about the appointment the next day, and all she wanted was to ask Alice to go with her. Lara’d volunteered, but somehow Dana wasn’t too excited by the prospect of her girlfriend being there. Which was probably weird, she conceded. Okay, scratch that, it was weird, no two ways about it. But it was how she felt, and she figured there had to be a reason for it. That didn’t make it any easier, though.
“Dane? You okay?” Alice had caught the distance conveyed in Dana’s voice, and even in her distracted state of mind she was concerned. Weaving in and out of traffic on the PCH, trying not to kill herself while still making great time back to her apartment, she remembered the conversation they’d had on her birthday, when Dana had gotten all weird at the end and hung up really quickly. She’d thought it was because the Helena thing was freaking her out (and honestly, Alice could see that…she couldn’t imagine how she’d be feeling if the tables were turned). This sounded like it was something a lot deeper, though. It took something pretty big to worry Dana for a long period of time.
“I’m fine. Just nervous about the tournament, I guess. It’s nothing.” Because as much as she wanted to tell Alice about the appointment, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. Alice was making a lot of progress, and this was the last thing she needed. Well, it was the last thing Dana needed, too, but there wasn’t a whole lot she could do about it.

Nice…I especially like your interpretation in the last paragraph…keep it uop! This story definately has legs!
I’m looking forward to your next update!
Woah, sorry I totally missed your 3rd part update, how did that happen? (I’m spacing this week, and it’s only Monday…sad;)). Aww, I’m super flattered I was able to help with your writer’s block, that is awesome. This fic is delicious so far–I am a huge Lara/Dana fan and I feel we never really got to see what made them tick (crap writers?) and Lara’s departure was so artificially abrupt, IMHO. Maybe to underscore Dana’s isolation into her on-the-show cancer arc. I dunno. But I like that you are giving Lara more texture here, even though I feel like she is portrayed as kinda ‘snarky’ (love that word, btw!). I hope she and Dana don’t unravel or anything too fast–if at all. But then, there is the Alice/Dana friendship relationship to consider, and how that will all play out…whew, that’s a tough one. I trust you will keep weaving these ladies’ tales in fantastic ways. Keep it up, and I’ll pay extra special attention to new updates, PPS!

You’re doing such a great job of speaking to the depth of the characters as we know them…though i still don’t buy into Dana leaving Alice in the first place. That aside, I definitely appreciate the way you’re working out more realisitic actions and reactions by our girls. Really looking forward to more…especially as they start to work their way back to each other. That would be the plan, right? PPS
Awesome update! It’s great to see that the underlying connection between Dana and Alice is still present. They are able to read each other so well. I’m glad that Dana opened up to Alice, even if it did mean Alice taking a step back. I think that in the long run they’ll be able to help each other get through these tough times. Alice is getting into Dana’s head. I loved the last paragraph. Great way to explain it. I’m a bit aggravated with Lara. Dana’s going through a really tough time, and she needs her best friend. Dana is too busy thinking about what Lara is going to think, instead of thinking about what she needs. I’ve never liked Lara anyway…I try, but I just can’t seem to like her. I’m sad for Dana, but you did make me laugh. ” I have to have something that sounds like an ad for you tomorrow morning.” I completely didn’t get it at first. I stoped reading and said “how does biopsy sound like an ad for Alice?” “Biopsy…biopsy…biop…bi… Oh!” Got it. So I’m a little slow at times. Anyway, I’m really enjoying your fic. I love how you stick close to the episodes, but put more depth and explanation into everything. A much better Season 3! I can’t wait to read more of it. Oh…and feel free to ramble as much as you like. I enjoy it.
Yeah, I somehow missed the third chapter too…not quite sure how! So I caught up, and I do have to say that I fucking love how this story is going! I love your take on season 3 (so much better than IC’s!) Please update again soon, because I really want to read more of this! You’re fantastic at capturing Danish!
Freaking awsome mutes ((HUGS)) you are doing a excellent job sweety!!!! So much better then S3,Maybe IC needs to learn for you!! Keep up the gr8 job!!PPS
