Dana wasn’t worried about the kiss. She was worried about the abrupt change in behavior. She kept thinking about it as she went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. It was then that she saw the magazine. She gave a small laugh when she realized that Alice must have slipped in it with all the other magazines.
She scanned the article as she brushed her teeth. She nearly choked on her toothpaste when she got to the girlfriend part. “Shit! She must think I’m still with Lara.” Dana knew that, as much as she wanted Alice back in her life romantically, it would have to wait. Her concern was that Alice needed people she could trust completely and Dana wanted to make sure one of those people was her.
Dana went to Alice’s room with no thought but to get this set straight.
She knocked lightly and waited for Alice to invite her in. When she went in, she saw Alice huddled in a little ball under the covers. She was turned away from the door.
Dana walked around the bed and gently sat down on it. She showed Alice the magazine. “I saw you were reading this. I need to explain.”
Alice mumbled “There is nothing to explain. It’s your life. I need to be getting on with mine anyway.”
The fear Dana felt at the statement was like an icy hand holding her heart.
“Alice, honey, this article was written right before the tournament in Monterey. You see, they say that right here. My ranking went down shortly after and they shelved the article. They decided to run it since I jumped up so much higher recently. Think about the timing…” Dana looked deeply into Alice’s eyes. “The girlfriend I am talking about in here is you.”
Alice saw the truth in her words and covered her head with the comforter.
“God. You must think I’m an idiot.”
“Never!” Dana smiled and dug Alice out of the covers. She brushed back some hair that had fallen in Alice’s eyes and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. “But I did think you were a better journalist.” She laughed and leapt away just before Alice was able to hit her with a pillow.
“Seriously, Al, talk to me. If there is ever anything, talk to me. That’s what best friends are for. We stopped doing that for a while and I really don’t want to lose that again.”
“OK” Alice smiled.
She then gave Alice another kiss on the forehead and left her to a much more peaceful sleep.

dana is finally communicating very openly i might add. glad the girls were able to alice a nice afternnon at the mall, girl time is always fun!
AWWW! I’m glad they are finally getting back into the swing of things. I missed the funny, sarcastic Alice but she’s coming back and I forsee…okay i’m not yoda but I cant wait to see how Dana and Alice prgress and finally take care of Jackie! Thanks so much for another FaNtAStiC post!!! PPS!!
I have been a silent reader of this story! I like it! I really like how you are handling Alice’s recovery! Can’t wait for the scene where they “re-connect”! Oh and for some reason I keep picturing Jackie Warner as Jackie! Keep up the good work!
Hello MaGoose, that was so very sweet sometimes it is nice when we can fall back into the routines of our pasts… they can bring out so much within us… sometimes we let our lives get to far ahead of us and we tend to forget those things that made life a little more comfortable… I love the dynamics that Shane, Dana and Alice have together, beautifully captured. Sincerely, JC
Aww, that was adorable. The AlShaDane glasses buying day sounds like so much fun! And I’m with Dana, there’s just something about Alice in her glasses. I don’t know what it is, but it’s very, very good. Thanks for the reassurance that things are gonna work out with the hosebitch, lol. I threw that baguette in the shed should Dana need it.
Shopping with the girls and goofing with articles. It can’t get any better than this. It’s good to see Alice smiling.
I am sooooo sorry that I haven’t been able to comment on the past few chapters, because they have really been great. And this was one even better. I love the fact that Dana’s not running away from conflict and that she’s totally devoted to Alice. And the kisses on the forehead are sweet and everything, but how many more must we endure before the real action begins???? :)
Ah here comes the rebirth of the Alice we know and love…YAY! What a fun day out you wrote for them all. So good too that Dana isn’t letting anything fester, honest open communication is going to get these girls where they need to go!
MaGoose, what a terrific chapter! Love all the little things that you brought our attention to, such as “the comforter, her hair had a mind of its own, gathering her courage, Dana carefully thought” & so on. It felt as if I was watching an episode in my head. Really well done. I see that A still did not have all her confidence but things were looking up. Just the simple fact that she gave away her Jackie’s glasses indicated her subconscious of letting go. Really now, “what *was* it with her and Alice’s glasses? I wear glasses too and everyone just call me 4 eyes and never receive any compliment. Totally love the 3 musketeers at the mall. I am very impressed by D being so forthcoming with her feelings for A. I too hope that you will bring them together soon. The last part was very sweet. But I can see A might still need some more time to heal her wounded soul. Oh btw, can I order a copy of that sport magazine too? I also felt at ease that your shed is ready and I trust that with you, HF, and everyone else will give D a hand if necessary. I can’t wait till I return to participate again in commenting with everyone. Thank you.
WOOT> GO DANA. I love her. I want my very own. “sigh” But anyway. I love the story as usual magoose keep up the amazing work. YOUR MY HERO
Love the communication between alice and Daana. Glad to see the fun the girls had together.. The glasses that Alice threw away,what if Jackie goes o get new glasses and sees them. The glasses was very important in this chapter to me. thanks
Awesome chap, so glad to see the three of them relaxed and having a good time.fyi yes we profile in Canada but really 3000+ miles away, I’m in no data base and never said I’ll kill her (eh paper trail being left here)ninja stealth darlin…ooh and what you learn from nursing school and Faith the V.P.S, there’s more then sharp and pointy…the 5 basics to torture, plus if some dumb ass can’t get outa a walkin freezer,so not my fault! :)
See, this Dana’s so good everybody wants one for their own lol Thanks for the chap Magoose, love it as usual. :)
Awwwwwww I heart AlShaDane! Great post, Al was so sweet getting all upset and then it was about her and awwww! I know we must have some weird wavelength experience going on =D ooo yes i need big heavy tools, maybe some powerful weed killer, oh and a cage to keep them in once they’ve been subdued…if you have any tranquilizer darts lying about that would be a big help these socks are unpredictable predators who are not safe unless heavily medicated. No thank YOUUU for the giggles =D be vigilant – the socks are on the move. PPS!
