Ruth – So glad you’re back again. Don’t have much time to talk to you about your show…so hurry up, no details just the topic and its main headwords…
Alice – Hi to you to, Ruth. I’m fine, thanks for asking.
Ruth – Come on, Alice. It’s not my best day and I’m really not in the mood to argue with you right now…so, what did you think of for today’s show?
Alice – Just for the record, I don’t like you right now…and I think you won’t like me as much, since I didn’t prepare anything. Actually, I was asking myself if I could try to be spontaneous…
Ruth – Please tell me you’re not serious!
Alice – You don’t have to yell at me. But yeah, I’m totally serious…
Ruth – Under these circumstances I have no other choice, but to send you home. You’re done for today and I rather you come back tomorrow with an idea…better yet make it two, so I can decide which we pick up and…
Alice – Why don’t we try it out, Ruth? My mouth works, so where’s your point? Are you scared that my idea will produce a shitty result? You have to admit I’m your best employee so why not giving me the chance to talk freely on the show? Don’t you trust me?
Ruth – I can’t do that, Alice. Either you give me a handout or you come back tomorrow with one.
Alice – You didn’t answer my question, Ruth.
Ruth – It’s not important what I’m thinking of you as a person. But I need security…nothing personal, Alice.
Alice – Why is it that you never needed anything before? Did something change while I was away?
Ruth – Nothing’s changed. Everything’s the same…but I still want a handout from you otherwise…
Alice – Otherwise what?
Ruth – You have to go home and…
Alice – You know what? Forget it! I don’t have the time to argue with you. I only want to know whether you let me lead today’s show or not.
Ruth – Listen, Alice. I…
Alice – Yes or no, Ruth?
Ruth – In this case I have to answer with a clear no but…
Alice – Thanks, that’s enough.
Ruth – Listen, why don’t you come back to work by tomorrow with a handout that you can lay on my desk?
Alice – The only thing I lay on your desk is going to be my letter of resignation.
Ruth – You’re kidding me, right?
Alice – I’m absolutely serious about it. Have a great day, Ruth.
Ruth – Wait, wait!!! That’s not going to work. There’s still a contract which you have to observe.
Alice – Don’t care about this shitty contract. I’m a freelancer…do you realize which word’s included in that term?? Right, free! Am I allowed to work freely?
Ruth – Well,…
Alice – Do I have unrestricted freedom when it comes to a topic?
Ruth – There’s…
Alice – Did I forget to mention something? Oh yeah…I can’t even use the toilet without you running after me and asking me a ton of crappy questions! I’m out of here.
Ruth – When you walk out of the door I’m going to engage a lawyer to…
Alice – Now I’m fucking scared, Ruth. Don’t know if to run and hide, call my mom to squeal on you so that she paddles your ugly, deformed butt or cry and beg you to forgive me. But when I reconsider, I choose to just fuck off and leave you alone. Sue me, bitch!
And with that Alice walked out of the door back to her car. She knew she shouldn’t talk to her like that but she felt like she had no other choice. Alice would have never done it in the past. This break-up with Dana changed something in her and she wasn’t quite sure if she liked this part. The only thing she could tell was that she felt totally proud of herself. Ruth was probably still standing on the same spot with her jaw dropped to the floor but Alice didn’t care at all. Nothing seemed to be worth anything, not even her job that she loved so much. But even this place had troubling memories for her, as her and Dana once were both talking on Al’s show. It was best for her to start anew. Change her entire environment, the places she went to…..everything that reminded her of Dana. But where the hell should she go to? L.A. was her home for so long after her parents moved out here with her when she was a kid. No, no one was going to make her disappear from the only place she felt safe and home, not even Dana. Alice couldn’t help but start crying again as the thoughts of Dana ran through her head. Why did it always have to turn out so badly for her? Why did it never work out for her? And in that moment she realized that she couldn’t blame anyone for her life, for her bad choices she made in the past. It was time to live her life without any commitments….no more relationships, no more tears. She cried enough for the past four months. Alice needed to put herself in first place from now on. She had to become stronger and selfish.

New Danish writer!! Yay!!! And welcome!! I do hope, though, that you don’t take us on quite the emotional roller coaster that brteyes is. This is a most excellent start!! Poor Alice. I like her getting away to the cabin. That was a great touch for her to get re-center in some way. I also like that she apparently skipped the drug phase in here. I have to wonder who was knocking on the door… One of the framily? I understand what Alice was thinking with Ruth, but, I feel so badly for her that she gave up the job she loved. “Stronger and selfish” — so un-Alice but, again, I understand perfectly where her head is at. Thank you so much for the new story! I look forward to taking this journey with you!!
woot woot woot– You rock! Please keep this up! New Danish wrter~ yeah, man. Makes me smile~ I hope Alice finds herslef worthy…. :(
Well I’ll be damned. Look at Alice go!!!! YES girl, never compromise yourself for any person or any thing. Loved watching as she stood her ground and chose principle over everything else. It’s a pleasure to see a new Danish writer, welcome to the site, and hope to see many more posts from you. There’s a great group of writer’s and readers here willing to lend support.
HAHAHAHAHA! “So sue me b*tch!’ Great line for a new Danish writer, WELCOME! Woot! Coming home to a fresh piece of Danish really helped my day. Great start. Always put yourself first–glad Alice is thinking this way. I wouldnt let some snobby lil you know what push me around either. Thanks for the new story. Cannot wait to see what road you take us down.
I am touched each time a new Danish writer enters the arena. Danalicious2, I have noticed your past and present support with your comments and am really thrilled that you decide to give a shot at writing. Lucky you that you have brteyes’ support. I feel the same as you said in your shout out regarding Dana’s death. Two years later, there is still plenty of Danish support. It is simply amazing. I am with MaGoose on your first post. I felt very bad what A went through during the 1st part of S3. If A needed to be “stronger and selfish”, we would welcome that. Please take your time in telling your story and I will be here to give you my 2 cents worth. Thank you very much.
I love the start of this story I hope that alice becomes a stronger person but I just hope that she does not become too selfish I think that it will take some time but she will get over dana
Welcome and yes as the others said it’s always great to get another danish writer… The story is really good so far and I am looking forward to read more from you…
I’ve been glowing since you posted this first chapter. I am so honored that you dedicated this chapter to me. This is a wonderful start to the story and now other’s will get to read your talent. There is no doubt in my mind that you will draw others in like you have me. You have so many that are encouraging you already and they’ll get to experience your brilliant imagination. Now for the chapter… I was wondering just like MaGoose who was knocking at the door. I love how Alice stood up to her boss, Ruth… makes me think of a certain person at work that makes me mad just to see her, lol. I hope Alice finds a better job and comes out on top. I already have a clue with what you’re going to do with this story. If anyone else reads this, just be warned that Danalicious has a bit of a twisted mind herself, lol. I guess I wasn’t supposed to say this, huh… oh well, I know you love me anyway, lol. Congrats on your very first chapter and story. I’m looking forward to sharing this ride with you. This is the first of many. Thanks for letting me be a part of what I know will be a Danish favorite. Just remember that I will always be your biggest fan.
Welcome as a Danish writer. I love the story so far. Keep up the good work
That was a wonderful start so please don’t stop there, still want to see how Alice and Dana get’s back after this…
