Almost Here Chapter 2
‘Of course, anytime! You know I love all your recipes.’ Dana twiddled with her straw absent-mindedly, sending some stray droplets of her smoothie onto the glossy picture of Emperor Penguins, leaving their originally white and black coat speckled with red dots.
There was a sudden influx of people into the Planet, creating quite a din that caused the threesome to look towards the entrance.
‘Alright, I gotta go.’ Lara stood up from the seat barely warmed. ‘It’s really busy in the kitchen at this hour and I had to sneak out to talk to you.’ The red-head adjusted her apron, which had some orange stains on it, evidently remnants from preparing the Soup of the day – Tomato Cream Soup. ‘Bye Dana. Bye Shane.’
‘Bye Lara. I’m looking forward to your recipes!’
Lara flashed Dana a quick smile. Dana watched as the red-head made her way through the crowd back to the kitchen. Sometimes, Dana couldn’t believe that she could actually be such good friends with an ex. After they broke up, Dana was distraught for a while but after that, she had hardly thought about Lara. It was a pleasant surprise to see that Lara was working for The Planet. It was no doubt that Lara was a nice person and it was always interesting to hear about her so-called ‘culinary forages’. It was rare for Dana to find someone she could get along with so well outside of the usual gang and thus, Dana treasured Lara as a friend. She felt that Lara was a true friend to keep.
At first, she had been worried that
‘Oh dear!’ Dana realized she had made the pamphlet beside her drink wet and was busy blotting up the droplets with a serviette. It was too late; the Emperor Penguins were now permanently inflicted with dark polka-dots on their otherwise flawless coat.

Absolutely great story. You hit the characters head on. I hope you don’t wait over a month to post again. This story is too wonderful to let it be forgoten. Looking foward to your next update. Thanks for a well written story. Deb

wow, I’m happy the danish writers are so good but why you all wait soo long to post, we are suffering here you know, lol. Thanks.

Haha you’re back! I was planning to drive over to your place and swat you for the delay. But you’re safe now that you’ve posted. Great update, Dana being oblivious and Alice hiding her feelings were spot on. Of course it will never be complete with Yoda. I love the agnst, bring them on!
wow…just read both chapters and i’m enjoying it. post soon.
LMAO, mud-mud! Harrison and the Power Rangers figurine!? Ok, tell me which ranger? Your fic was loooonng overdue, but was definately worth the wait! Just make sure you don’t leave us hanging for much longer, otherwise ‘We’ll need dinosaur power, NOW!’ Yeah, I think I need to burn those figurines, now. Keep up the good work!
Good fan-fic…I definately agree that you are hitting it spot-on with the characters and their behaviour. I hope that you’ll post back soon as I’d LOVE to continue reading your offerings! Thanks
Incredibly great story your stewing up here keep up the great work, and post soon!!!
Yay, Joyce is back! Although your story has lots of angst beneath, this chapter was full of sweet Danish. Ally P, Fairy D and penguins were my favourite :). I may not be able to wait another month for next chapter.. *5*
mudpie! not sure how i missed the first chapter- but apparently it’s just as well, i got to read them back to back and avoid withdrawal altogether…i LOVE this tale. you have a wonderful ear for detail and a great sense of humor. thanks for the post!
Finally (I had to go back and read the first one again to remember what my doubts were!) But it was well worth waiting for. You write them really well. And indeed, “Mr P is not a THING”!
Thanks all for your invaluable comments! :)

capesquad: Thanks for your comments! I read the first few chapters of your fic and I must say it’s great!
Anni_M: My yoda! I loved the penguins too…Well, I guess if you keep on reminding me to write in every e-mail, maybe I’ll be faster! Then again, wasn’t that what you did after Chap 1? LOL
lenore: Thanks lenore. I think this chapter didn’t really address your doubts much… hope next chapter helps!
