‘Dane.’ Shane suddenly sat up from her slouched position and looked intently at the athlete, who was valiantly trying to blow dry the damp spots.
Dana gave Shane a sideways glance and a look that said: ‘Not now, Shane. I’m busy.’, all the time concentrating hard on her task ahead.
Exasperated, Shane took hold of the top of the glossy pamphlet and pulled it out of Dana’s hands. ‘No, Dane, I have to tell you something important.’ Unfortunately for Shane, Dana was just preparing to exhale and its full impact hit Shane right in the face. ‘And I think you just drenched those penguins, and my face, in your saliva.’ Shane held the corner of the leaflet between her index finger and thumb and flapped it up and down with one hand, the other using a serviette to wipe her face.
‘Okay okay. What is it?’ Dana rested her elbow on the table lazily and cupped her chin, silently contemplating the chance of her stealing the pamphlet back from Shane without her noticing.
‘Actually, I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a long time. But there just wasn’t a chance.’
‘What, you going to make a love confession?’ Dana joked, her characteristic goofy grin spreading over her tanned face. ‘Should I order something for Al now? I think the food would come when she arrives, looking at the crowd now.’ Dana picked up the menu, even though she already knew what to order for the blonde.
‘No. Dane. I’m serious.’ Shane leaned forward to make her point.
‘Oh.’ Dana stopped smiling and put down the menu. She knew that face. The absolute look of concern Shane had whenever she wanted to say something important. After so many years of friendship, Dana knew better than to ignore Shane when she saw that look.
‘I’ve been wanting to talk to you about you and Lara, Dane. I know you don’t mean it and you don’t realize it, but Al has been hurting, from seeing you and Lara you know, hanging out.’
Dana’s face fell the moment she heard the words ‘Al has been hurting’. A million and one thoughts ran through her mind in that split second. She murmured a barely audible ‘Why?’, searching Shane’s face for answers.

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

great update! (finally) haha. i can tell the next chapter is going to be angsty, bring it on! :D
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.
great story – don’t wait so long to post again. please!
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! :)
debs: Thanks a lot. I’ve heard a lot about your fanfic! Though I haven’t read it yet, it’s right on top of my ‘must-read’ list! I will try to update ASAP.
rbelinda18: Thanks. I hope Alice and Dana can talk this through too but… ok I shan’t give away anything. Heh. And yes, they are meant to be together! Danish forever!

layla_gray: Jac! What can I say? I had to post, amidst all those death threats. And you wanna drive over? I’m right here waiting… Just keep your fly-swatter at home. :)
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!
danish_lvr: Thanks alot! :)
Red: Red-red! You wanna know which ranger? Well, I would say Red Ranger Jason. (Yes I belong to the ancient Might Morphin Power Rangers era) You burning those figurines? Could you leave Yellow Ranger for me? LOL
