Shane finished with all of her appointments for the day before coming to Dana’s and was more than willing to spend some time with her friends when they asked her to join them for movie day.  The three of them had been watching a movie for about an hour when Shane broke the silence.  “I forgot to tell you…” Alice and Dana turned their attention from the movie to Shane.  “Kit wants to know what everyone is doing for Thanksgiving.  She wants everyone to come to The Planet for Thanksgiving.” 

Alice grinned and turned towards Dana.  “I’m doing whatever Dana is.”  Dana gave Alice a confused look.  “Lenore is off filming something somewhere and I can’t remember the last time I spent a holiday or any day for that matter, with my brother and sister.  Having the family all together for Thanksgiving at The Planet sounds like fun.”

Dana smiled back at Alice knowing how happy she was about the idea.  “It’s okay with me.  I have chemo and physical therapy Monday and physical therapy again Wednesday.  So I figure I won’t feel up to traveling to my parent’s house and they are too busy to come here for a few days.”

“Are you sure you will feel up to going to The Planet if your week is that busy Dane?”  Alice asked and she and Shane waited for a response both worried it might be too much for Dana.

“Yeah I should be fine.  There’s a big difference between traveling five minutes to The Planet and over an hour to my parents.”

“Cool!  I’ll let Kit know tomorrow that the two of you are interested.  Carmen said something about visiting her family, but I think we will be able to make it to The Planet as well.  Jenny, Bette, and Helena will be there too.  Tina is the only one I’m not sure about, but I think she will at least stop by.”  Shane focused her attention on the movie again and the three of them sat in silence for the rest of it.

After the movie Shane offered to go pick up food for Alice and Dana, but Alice refused.  Alice assured Shane that there was plenty of food in the condo and she would not burn the place down cooking.  Shane finally let the idea go when Dana told her not to worry and that she would make sure Alice didn’t cook anything crazy or catch the place on fire.  Alice ended up fixing salads for dinner, a healthy meal that did not need to be cooked.
