    Author Notes:

    Alice’s POV on Helebette

    “Let’s just say that its practice affords me enough peace to be able to look at what I’ve done, accept it, forgive myself for it, learn from it, and continue on,” she replied.

    “Well, then, I take it you’re not going to tell me who the woman is.” The curiosity, of course, was killing me, but I wanted to show Helena I respected her privacy enough not to pry any further.

    “No, Alice, it would serve no purpose. For now I must keep her identity close to my vest.”

    “Sounds to me like you wish you had her close to your chest.”

    “Now there’s the Alice we all know and love. Always Johnny on the spot with a wisecrack.”

    “Well, maybe one day, this woman will see you in a different light and forgive you for whatever you think she may be blaming you for.”

    “Trying to make me dream, Alice?”

    “You’ve made me feel better today, Helena. You’ve given me some hope. Just thought I’d send some hope your way as well,” I answered truthfully.

    Helena glanced at her watch. As she pulled out a credit card to pay for lunch, she quietly stated, “Alice, the time spent with you today has been precious. We’re going to do this more often, that is, if I have anything to say about it.”

    And thus ended our ‘close encounter of the first kind.’ I liked to call it that because I’d just had lunch with a Helena Peabody that everyone else I knew was about to deem an alien.

    **********************

    In retrospect, I should have easily figured out the identity of the woman whose pigtails Helena had been pulling, the woman who had made her moon-eyed and prompted her to move cross-country. That I did not is easy to explain. I was distracted.

    My obsession with Dana had completely thrown me off balance, and that is, I admit, an understatement. In addition, my powers of deductive reasoning and intuition had sustained severe impairment as the We-Ho universe I’d known and loved spiraled out of control. Nothing and no one seemed reasonable or sane anymore.

    I’ll spare you the unearthly details, but my friends and fellow patrons of The Planet seemed to have undergone severe personality transplants from somewhere in the Outer Limits. So much so, that, in reality, they had no room to talk. And they certainly had no grounds to object when I eventually invited Helena to accompany me on some of our group get-togethers. Occasionally, I took to calling some of them ‘weirdoes’ just to remind them that Helena’s wasn’t the only personality that seemed overtaken by extra-terrestrials.

    4. Yes! Finally, another Helebette story! God, these two are hot together, and I’m glad that this fandom pairing is picking up pace, because these two really should find each other on the show. Wonderfully written, post more soon!

    11. I have been waiting to see if you were going to update, but since you haven’t yet, I’ll comment. I really like the way this is beginning and would love to see you continue. It’s good to see a different side of Helena and actually have some detailed explanation for the change. It would also be great to have a chance to see how Bette recovers from the breakup with Tina and moves on with her life. Thanks! Please don’t keep us waiting too long.

    14. I have seen very few pull off Alice’s point of view, but you do it flawlessly…and your characterizations are lovely. I’m glad there’s more to read! Excellent work!

    16. Bette and Helena,that sound as good as Tina and Henry. Really sounds better to me Two beautiful strong will women together. Helena is in love with Bette now now to get Bette on the ball. thanks
