Almost Here Chapter 2
Shane put an arm around her good friend and gave her a tight comforting squeeze. This was so difficult but she knew she had to do it, especially watching the exchange between Lara and Dana just now. She knew
‘Dane, it is not your fault. Listen to what I have to say before you berate yourself.’ Shane looked into the blue-grey eyes of her good friend. ‘You know Al. You know for the past few years, or in fact all her life, she has never had a decent proper relationship. A relationship built on mutual respect, love and understanding. She never had that. But she finally found it in you. And that’s why she’s scared. She’s afraid of losing you. Because if she loses you, she loses her best friend and she loses the love of her life.’ Shane paused and took a deep breath.
‘When you’re scared, little things can make you uncomfortable. So when Al sees you and Lara, she feels insecure. Because you’re on friendly terms with your ex. I know she was supportive of you being good friends with Lara. But that was because she didn’t want to restrict your freedom. She’s actually hiding her insecurities.’
Dana looked at her good friend with lost, questioning eyes. She had never thought of it that way before. She was on the brink of tears. ‘What What do I do, Shane?’ Dana said, almost like a plead.
‘You need to talk to Al. You need to reassure her. Not that she doesn’t trust you, Dane, but she is vulnerable now. She just needs your reassurance and she’ll be fine. Trust me.’ Shane placed her hand on Dana’s, who was quivering.
Dana tried to swallow back her tears. In her mind, she reproached herself over and over again. Shane’s words had taken her by shock but she believed that what Shane had just told her was the truth. It was so painful to know that over the past few months, the woman she loved with all her heart was hurting because she was there, being friendly with an ex. If only she had knew that her hanging out with Lara would exacerbate
It’s alright. It’s ok. Dana tried to calm herself down. I just need to talk to Al. I just need to tell her that there is nothing going on between Lara and me, and there never will be. We’ll be fine.

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.
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!

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!
