Chapter Six
"Prepare to be Lenored."
Alice’s words hung heavily in the air as she clung onto Dana’s hand uncertainly. Helena was watching the door as if she expected it to be kicked in at any moment. Standing up straighter, she ran a hand over her wild hair and tried desperately to smooth it down.
Steeling herself to the oncoming trial, Alice offered Dana a brave smile and and walked to the door as one might to the gallows. The slump in her shoulders was unmistakable; as if she was exhausted before things had even begun.
Looking at Helena with undisguised apprehension, Dana was surprised to find the other girl with nary a hair out of place. She’d straightened her jacket and suddenly looked much more like the proper, English girl with impeccable taste and manners.
The knocking at the door grew louder and with a last deep breath, Alice swung it open to reveal a pretty older woman wearing oversized sunglasses and carrying an enormous handbag.
The woman swept into the loft without removing her sunglasses, addressing Alice as she entered with a lilting tone, "Alice, my love! It’s been too long. What in the world are you wearing?"
Alice took her mother’s bag and dropped it onto the couch before moving in carefully to give her mother a stiff hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, mom. Yeah, I saw you the other night though. Okay."
Lenore was already pushing her glasses up on her forehead and glancing around the loft appraisingly before Alice had finished speaking.
Trailing off with a shrug, Alice said blandly, "I didn’t know you’d be dropping in, Mom. Uh, to what do we owe the pleasure?"
Lenore walked over to Alice, pinching her side and murmuring, "You’re too thin, sweetheart. Entirely too thin."
Alice said, "Sorry. Um, anyway, what are you doing here? I mean at Berkeley?"
Lenore said, "I’m driving down to see your sister and I wanted to drop in and see my baby. Is it a bad time?"
Distractedly, Alice said, "Huh? No. I mean, I’m glad you’re here."
Lenore walked around the couch toward Helena, saying loudly, "And who is this exquisite young woman, Ally?"
Rolling her eyes and mouthing an apology toward Helena, Alice replied in a tone Dana had never heard, saying, "Mom, this is Helena Peabody. And you met her this summer at the fundraiser her mother invited us to."

Poor Alice!! I would probably curl up into a ball and die if my mother did that to me. At least she had Dana there with her fir support. So how long before Alice starts to grow tired of having to hide being with Dana? You can already see guilt of it all is eating Dana alive. But what about Alice? Do we get to see how she really feels about it all? Anyway I can’t wait for next post since you left us dangling there at the end. I just love a drunk Dana.
Not a drop of Danish tonight until you showed up at 3am EST. I was about to go to bed. What can I say? You are amazing! Thank you for your comment and analysis. I totally agree with you about ED’s & LH’s. If weren’t for their outstanding performance, I do not think I will be so hooked on reading all these Danish stories and writing comments at 4am. I thought I too came across a story or 2 about A & L. But I did not read them. So if you happen to know, please tell me then I shall broaden my horizon. You have Lenore down perfectly. Thanks a lot Lenore, “Seems like I just met the last one”; Charlie’s angel? (Like Jaclyn Smith and hope is not Kate Jackson); “and the six million dollar man came along”. Poor Alice. I couldn’t stop laughing while reading this chapter. You are just a natural and your timing is perfect. Sitting in the booth scene really hit the whole staying in the closet issue. Good job. Btw, you are way to humble about your success. I am still laughing as I am typing this. Bravo! And I did not have one drop of alcohol. Like I was telling Akiracolorblind earlier. Danish stories make the best night cap. Hope you have a happy weekend & looking forward to your next post.
Hey frip, I must say that I ahve always liked Leonore and wish she would be back on the show. You really got her pegged down and Al is so different wieh she is around. I feel that Helena and Dana got more than they wanted w/Leonore and see why Al is the way she is IMO. Great chapter frip!!
oohhh… leave us hangin right there huh? again, LOVE IT! I logged in two seconds after I got home! hahah I can’t wait for the next chapter
you are z best frip!!this story is beyond good loving it and no do not mind the quick posts look forward to my daily danish can always count on you making it delicious;)
Another excellent chapter! The drama was nicely offset with the humor and love between Dana and Alice. I hope the next installment picks up in the bathroom. And you can be my wingman any time….
HEY!!!! I do really agree wih you about ED & LH. I don’t think the story would be great if it wasn’t for their wonderful performance on the show! I love the Top Gun reference: that was cute. I love the story about lil’ Alice getting rescued by the Six Million Dollar Man. I felt sorry for Alice about her mother, but what mother doesn’t have an embarassing story about their child? lol anyways great job..PPS!
Awww. This chapter was a little hard to read. I had a rough childhood, so Lenore’s blatant disregard and condescension toward Alice bring back a lot of memories. Poor thing. I’m glad Dana was so supportive, though I kinda wonder why Shane wasn’t moreso. Oh well. And as toward me being Yoda, yeah right. I’m thinking you could teach me a thing or five about writing, so hush. This is great, can’t wait to read more.
hey! i love this story, its so cute & funny! i totally agree that ED & LH played the relationship soooo well on the show & that is what made it so interesting. looking forward to the next post :)
