Shane wasn’t quite sure what Alice was so upset about, or what she really was talking about. “Al, you’ve got to give me more then that, what are you talking about?”
Alice pulled back from Shane pointing to the chart. “That! It’s a lie, a fantasy. Our safe little ***** community. We don’t have a safe community, I forgot living here in West Hollywood, that a lot of people hate us.”
Shane listened hating the way Alice sounded defeated and cynical, this wasn’t Alice. When Alice was knocked down, she picked herself back up and made a joke, but she went on. “Al, a lot of people don’t hate us. They may not understand us; some may even think we’re destined for *****. But Al, I don’t believe a lot of people hate us. People like those men are a small minority. I think more and more people are coming around, or at least they really don’t care.”
Alice looked at Shane wondering how someone with her background, living on the streets, no real family to speak of could still have such an optimistic outlook. Shane had a more screwed up childhood then she did, at least she always had a roof over her head, and knew where her next meal was coming from. Shane on the other hand had to take care of herself from an early age. Yet out of all her friends, Shane for all her outward bravo really did have the biggest, most trusting heart. “Shane, I love the fact that even with everything you have seen and experienced you still can see a silver lining. I just don’t see the silver lining anymore.”
Shane hugged Alice again hoping one day Alice would be able to get over this, but she knew it would take time. “It really is still there, and I think one day you will be able to see it again.”
After dusting, and cleaning out her refrigerator, Alice decided it was time to face the world. She called Dana before heading out, just wanting to hear her voice for reassurance before heading into work, knowing this was another step she had to take toward recovery.
ALICE’S EDITOR’S OFFICE
After Alice’s editor got over the shock of the appearance of one of his favorite, he decided it was time to get back to work. “Alice, I don’t want you to take this assignment unless you feel 100 percent OK with it. But I think an article about attitudes towards the ***** community would be an article people would like to read. Alice you can cover it from what ever angle you want. Hate crime from through a victim’s point of view, or crimes against the ***** community the unspoken truth. You can write about the attitudes facing the ***** community in today’s society, has it really change much in the recent past?”

I really like the way you are treating this story. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Good job, Deb. You’ve articulated Alice’s struggle so well, I feel for her and Dana too of course. Can’t wait to see what happens when Alice do move out.
argh – when are they gonna realize they like each other as more than friends. great job deb!
This feels like the Alice I remember from the first season, and parts of the second season. As for Dana, I wonder if she has started to realize how she feels about Alice yet. Their friends recognize the love, but I see both women using the attack to account for their increased awareness of each other. This has been an amazing night – updates by you, dreiser AND layla_gray. You folks are all awesome.
