Blinking and trying to recover from the not only the hug but the way her heart began racing due to it and being called cute of all things, Helena murmured, “Yes. I believe I shall call her.”
“I believe I shall,” Alice repeated her words with a chuckle.
“Yes,” said Helena, smiling nervously as she swallowed the lump in her throat. Her hand hovered over the door and she said her words from earlier once again, “I had a lovely time tonight, darling.” She looked to Alice and seemed to be debating something then moved forward to press a soft kiss to her cheek. “I’ll speak with you later.”
Blinking and watching Helena jog away, Alice raised her hand up to touch her cheek that burned from the imprint of the brunette’s kiss. Then she fumbled with her purse and pulled out her cell phone to press her newly programmed speed dial number two. Smiling when she heard an all too familiar British accent whisper almost breathlessly in her ear, “Yes?”
“Have dinner with me tomorrow?” asked Alice hopefully, biting on her bottom lip and squeezing her steering wheel with her left hand as she stared at Helena’s house that had one light on.
There was a slight pause then Helena asked with affectionate lighthearted humor, “Tomorrow as in tonight or tomorrow as in Sunday night? You must be clear, darling.”
“Tomorrow as in tonight, which would be Saturday night at seven p.m., and if you agree I will then pick you up at that time at your fancy house even though you should drive since you’re always making fun of me and my ego is suffering because of it,” said Alice sardonically, grinning when she saw another light go on inside Helena’s house and figured she was walking around.
“Would your ego be satisfied if I profusely complimented your choice in clothing and make up and then paid for dinner?” asked Helena, chuckling.
“My ego wants to know if that offer includes dessert,” said Alice smartly.
“Tell your ego that dessert is surely included on the menu,” said Helena in a somber promise. “After all, what is a meal without dessert? Surely nothing that you or my children would favor.”
“Damn spiffy,” Alice declared proudly. She smiled at the exuberant laughter Helena released at this then said softly, “So we’re on? I’ll see you tomorrow then?”
“At seven p.m., you mustn’t forget,” said Helena, her tones equally soft and laced with unmistakable fondness. “Dying brain cells or not.”
Laughing happily, Alice replied, “My dying brain cells won’t forget. I mean, come on! They’re getting dessert. How could they forget?”
“Ever so clever,” Helena accused. She paused then said in a hushed whisper, “Goodnight, darling. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Yeah,” Alice murmured, looking up to see there was only a single window lit again and smiling one last time before she ended the call. “Tomorrow.”

so ok – you were totally right – i loved dana’s pov and it totally makes sense and you just rock for the way you make me still love her even though she broke Alice’s heart.
And again, you were right, Jenny is the perfect friend for Alice and Helena and her ‘weirdness’ fits perfectly and is something endearing in this, not off putting as it is on the show.
And finally – the comfort that alice and helena find in their shared experiences, insecurities and needs was just perfect! Loved it – but then again, knew I would! Great job!!!
Bagpuss Rocks I and my friends were bought up on him. Best British kids tv show ever!! Bring bagpuss to the world!
Hey now… lol. I’ve got nothing against Bagpuss! The show was cool but I’m mildly freaked out by it. Then again, I’m mildly freaked out by lawn gnomes too. Brrr. Lawn gnomes. Anyway, Helena and Jenny like Bagpuss. They just find it somewhat disturbing, much like me. =P
You’re good.. you’re good. You actually MAKE me like Helena… ;)
Positively loving this, anyone who takes the time to properly write Helena *and* who writes her so damn well gets heaps of gold stars in my book. =) And I’m even picking up on the joys of Helacious =D Squeee
This is great! It’s nice seeing Helena portrayed as someone who does actually have a good side! I’m enjoying it very muchly
Thank You! For reasons in no particular order:
1. For writing Jenny in a way that isn’t about her “bad” weirdss. For actually writing her as someone who underneath all the complexities i still someone who can be kind, and defintely someone can see Alice having a friendsip with.
2. For Dana’s pov–I danish shipper at heart and will be, damn all season 3 spoilers and what not, and even though this is helacious story at heart, there are still those undercurrents of Danish, which will always be true for me, no matter what happens with them.
3. For writing helacious in such a way that even I, as a self proclaimed Danisher, can enjoy and even root for. I can only hope (perhaps foolishly)that the writers of TLW will do as much justice.
You are by far my favorite Fan Fic writer on this board–effortlessly weaving stories together that explore connection, love and all the good stuff in between.
I loved this and I’m a little upset that you got four stars considering some of the crap on this board that gets five stars. Dumb fuckers.
Anyway. I already told you what I liked, but I think my favourite parts were getting into Helena’s background and in her head, particularly with her father and the issues she has with her mother and the thing about her running. Ha! I always got lost running cross-country and as I told you, getting lost 13 times is nothing to me because I got lost a lot more times than that. People totally do get lost! And how cute was it that Helena was all fixated and upset that she placed fourth after going a mile and half out of her way? Priceless and so her because she would totally demand so much of herself even at age 15.
And ohh, that last part with the phone call and the dinner arrangements and everything? God.
You’re killing me with Helacious cuteness!
great as always
Not content with making us love Helacious, now you’re going to make me like Jenny! This is a great chapter. The insight into Dana: the scene where she watched Alice in the Planet was just painful. I loved the scene at the end when Alice called Helena. Great mix of tension and humour. And, finally, speaking as someone from the UK: don’t knock Bagpuss! (OK, it was weird, what can I say).
