Dana spent about half an hour on the couch telling Alice about finally being able to hit the ball back to Shane. She was elated over the experience, and Alice seemed really happy about it too. She was a bit distracted though, and apologized to Dana for it as she changed for the party that night.
“I’m really sorry; I know this is a huge thing for you. I think it’s great. I’m just nervous about having to be so hush-hush tonight; I’m not used to that at all,” she said as she went into her closet for the dress she’d picked out for the event.
“Yeah, you’re pretty out. To great extremes. But I think it’s good…you just have to tone it down a little tonight,” Dana consoled as Alice changed.
“Well?” Alice asked when the dress was zipped. “What do you think?”
“I think it looks really good,” Dana said as Alice did a little twirl in her dress. What she didn’t say was that the dress looked like something her mother might have worn in the 70’s or even before.
“Not too gay?” Alice asked, biting her lip apprehensively.
“No, it doesn’t look gay at all. And even if it did, why would you care? I understand that you have to keep this party confidential, but come on.”
Alice shrugged. “I don’t know how to act at one of these closet parties. Did you ever have to do something like this?”
“No. I had to act straight at parties and at events my parents were involved with, but it was never anything like this. I can’t even believe they have these. How’d you get invited again?”
“Well, the guy that runs them saw one of my podcasts, and he invited me. I didn’t think I was going to go, but Ruth thinks it’d be a good way for me to get publicity for the site,” Alice replied.
“I think it’s great that you’re getting noticed. It’s a good site, I think Max did a good job on it,” Dana said.
“You’ve looked at it?” Alice asked, sounding mildly surprised. Dana wasn’t really much of an internet person. She checked her own site and some tennis sites, but aside from that she didn’t seem too interested in the internet or computers in general.

I’m still with you on the Author’s Notes, hon — NC-17 or not. It’s the Danish relationship I care about anyway. On to the story… I love how you are showing Alice here at this point in her career. It’s another thing the show doesn’t discuss. I understand Dana’s point and her anger, but, I think she went too far. I am glad she said something, though. That’s what I thought when I saw this scene on the show: what if someone had filmed Dana at a party like this before she was out? Of course, she was never around making homophobic remarks for network TV, but, still… Thank goodness Shane was there at She Bar to watch out for Dana. OK. I am really, really worried about Dana having too much to drink. I hope it is not too much longer before we get an update. Um. Please? And I have said it before, but, I love, love, love seeing Dana woven into scenes from S4 and now S5 (and hopefully S6). Excellent. MT!! You rock!!
I really DON’T think Dana went too far. Alice had it coming and she NEEDS someone to wake her up or she’s going to turn out to be the same immature little **** she was in season 5, and there’s no way Dana would have ever put up with that. Go Dana! Maybe now Alice will grow up and finally understand that actions do have consequences.
You can’t leave us hanging like that ! I totally agree with all MaGoose said. I too would not mind no NC-17. Readers can always go back to the previous chapters and there are plenty of those. I am continuously amazed by the way you tell your story. (clapping) I had trouble with A outed that guy on the show. I like the idea of D keeping A in line. I too felt that D was flying off the handle. Was there something else going on other than the fact that she felt for athlete given she was closeted for a long time? After all they had gone through in the past 65 chapters, I would have thought they could talk at least talk things through. At this point, I feel very bad for A. So she made a mistake and apologized. The way D reacted to A really seemed like an angry adult scolding a kid. I hope D would calm down and reassess the situation. Yeah, and the drinking, please let one of the gang stop her before she wind up getting hurt or sick. MT, thank you again for another excellent post.
I can’t believe we got you to stay up late because of our comments. lol. No, seriously, your points were well taken. I totally understand the breach of contract and closeted issue. I can appreciate D’s anger understand that she had a hot temper. My problem has to do with “the soulmate” saying that she would report her, labeling her as “a f*cking high schooler, I don’t want to be around you.” Again, I understand D’s feeling but those were harsh words were very hurtful. That was the reason I said she was flying off her handle. imo, Nobody deserves to be scolded that way especially from their love ones. Once the words are out, they will be in the memory forever. I just hate to see them getting hurt after going through all their hardship. It’s like 2 steps forward 3 steps back. They needed to discuss their issues in a more constructive manner. My conclusion, you are a fantastic writer that you are able to draw out our emotions. There is nothing left to say but to salute you. Deep in my heart, i know you will take care of them.
*cough* and you don’t think what Alice did will stay in DANA’s memory forever?
For clarification purposes…Dana didn’t say she WOULD report Alice, she said that she SHOULD. Her father is an attorney, she understands how serious a breach of a signed contract is. Anyone at that party could ruin Alice as well as any and all descendants of hers for years after what she did. Dana was trying to point out the possible consequences of what Alice did. The reason she called her a high schooler is because she acts like one. She has been since the beginning of Season 4. She always did, but it’s been taken to new extremes. Dana is scared of the change in Alice and is trying to point it out to her. She sees it as a problem and she brought it up instead of putting it on the shelf. And the reason that Dana said she didn’t want to be around Alice at that particular point in time was because she was very angry and hurt and didn’t want to risk saying anything worse out of that. That was Dana explaining her problems with the way Alice is/has been acting. They never talked about that before the initial breakup and look where it got them. Yes, they are going to talk more but at the time and given the circumstances I don;t think Dana was too out of line. I’ve heard far, far worse things from people that have claimed to love me and I didn’t do anything half as serious as what Alice did. Dana said it for a reason, and it wasn’t to drive Alice away but to make her aware that her actions are noticed and that she needs to take other people into consideration. If she didn’t love Alice and want to work this out, she’d have just left. It may seem harsh, but she was angry, and what she said wasn’t intended to hurt.
Okay guys, I just don’t see where you’re getting that Dana flew off the handle. Yeah, she said some things that weren’t very nice, but come on. She was terrified of being outed for YEARS before she finally came out, and Alice was her best friend throughout that time. And now Alice did something that Dana NEVER expected her to do. They did talk, Dana expressed her views and left because she was angry and didn’t want to make it worse. I don’t feel that Dana was condescending to Alice in any way. Alice was acting immature and did something she said she wouldn’t do, in plain sight. Dana’s been shown to have a temper, and she was rightfully pissed off. Don;t worry, they’re going to talk more, but I feel that Dana was justified. Alice was acting like a gossiphound in high school. She’s in her thirties and her girlfriend was closeted for years, I don’t think a simple apology is gonna make that instantly better in Dana’s mind. So yeah, it’s a really big issue for them, it’s not a quick fix.
