Alice and Dana were staring intently at the items spread across the desk. They had been at it for about an hour-and-a-half. Alice was rubbing her forehead. She couldn’t figure out how quickly her fortunes had turned.
“Shit!!” Alice hissed in disbelief. Her money was just about gone. She still had some properties, but, she wasn’t sure yet if they would be enough.
She looked up and received a smug smile from her girlfriend.
It was Alice’s idea to play Monopoly. Unfortunately, a combination of luck and timing had given Dana the upper hand. Alice had just landed on Boardwalk with a hotel. The thing that sucked is that Alice owned an actual hotel on Boardwalk in Atlantic City. There should be a special rule in that case. She could sell some houses back, but, Dana was going to be in that area of the board soon. Maybe mortgage some of the undeveloped property? Her musings were broken by Dana’s voice.
“So… What are you going to do, Al?” Dana had an eyebrow cocked and was leaned back in her chair. She knew she was in the driver’s seat. She had more than enough money to get past the few developed properties that Alice had. She decided to let Alice sweat a bit more before starting some bargaining. Alice held up her hand to indicate she was still deciding.
Any concerns the two women had over working together and having a relationship had long since been swept away. They were able to keep work time and personal time separate. They also made sure to get breaks from each other. They wanted to be together all the time, but, it was good for both of them to know they didn’t *need* to be together all the time.
They also had new rules. Rule number one was that, except for emergencies, 7-9 at night was their time — no work, no phones, no e-mail and no interruptions. After that free time they would clean up anything that couldn’t wait until the morning.
And of course the nights were theirs alone.
It was a rainy day on the island and neither of them felt like watching a movie. Both Dana and Alice were excited to find Alice’s old stash of board games. They cracked open a bottle of wine, popped some popcorn, and chose a game.

I loved the start of your chapter… strip monopoly indeed. The end hurt my hear though… Poor Dana. :(As always, a great chapter MaGoose- you’re the best. I was starting to wonder where all the Danish writers have gone. Its been pretty slow on the site.
Wow, such a great chapter. Worrying start that Alice had no money but then a wonderful Danish game. Sad ending though, the usual rollercoatser of emotions from ya MaGoose! Great stuff again …
Oh no! Poor D! I offer my deepest condolences. I am sure that A could easily spare one of her jets and let D go to the funeral. I hope she would get some comfort being with Howie and Sharon. That was a shocker considering that they were having so much fun with Monoploy. I love that game. A was literally loosing her shirt. lol. For split second at the start of the chapter, I thought A had lost her Stranton Enterprise. Nicely done. Was that a new set of rules for the “post get together”? Like starting from Numero Uno? LMAO. On a more serious note, MaGoose, well said to all those Danish writers. I too want to thank them for posting over the last few days. You all are awesome, Salute & THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! p.s. I will take a rain check on getting other info of the island. haha.
Great chap!! My eyebrows flew up so fast at the first two lines I’m surprised the G force didn’t rip ’em off my face!! Hmm a new way to play monopoly, me likey…Sux Dana got the bad news but Al will help her through it.
:D Hey MaGoose lol I checked just to see if u had updated tonite and u had, how lucky lol. Loved the start althou i will admit i was at first like OH NO!! Until i realised it was Monoplay haha, nice twist … even better twist wen it turned to strip Monoplay did make me giggle :D Poor Dana!! Im intrigued to see wat happens next and wat this does to the trip to New York if it at the same sort of time. Loved this chapter and love how u gave us tht humor before we had tht little bit of drama we know we all love reli :D Thnk u agen for a great chapter cant wait for more :D Thnks xxx
well that is certainly very sad. i am sorry to hear that.
hi, thanks, i’m been waiting for you to update on this story. hmm, wonder what happens next….
Strip Monopoly sounds like one fun game I want to play sometime :) Poor Dana,I hope Alice will go with her to support her! My cats just rolls his eyes at me when I do the HDD!! My Dog just jumps around and Dances with me hehehehe. Great update MG!!! Thanks and PPS
Umm I know the chapter ended in a sad not…but Holy Crap I am going out right now and getting Monopoly!!!
Why is it that I get the feeling that strip Monopoly may be from actual experience? (Maybe it’s because I can now envision pretty much ANY board game turning into a strip game…and I sincerely thank you for that MaGoose!) Thanks, too for the shout-out…Danish lives! At this point I’d even happily accept Alice waking up from the bad dream of the last couple of years to find Dana in the shower with Bobby Ewing. It’s the little moments that weave together to form the unbreakable bonds in a relationship and you’re doing such an amazing job of showing us what makes Dana and Alice such a great couple…and what it is that will hold them together when life throws them the unexpected…as it did at the end of this excellent chapter. Looking forward to the next as soon as you can.
echoooo echoooo echooooo….loves magoose and her brilliant ideas. Strip monopoly sounds familiar..hmmm, maybe it was in another lifetime. Sucky that daddy F died..i guess we’ll see what happens. Thanks so much QOD….as for the iron i want for christmas….i’ll have to sit on your lap and tell you about all of the handy features ;P. Excellent update once again. JDD!
