It had been almost three months since the encounter with Jackie at the park. Alice and Dana talked several times a day and visited each other’s houses often to watch movies or have dinner. They met up at The Planet almost every day.
Dana realized that they were back where they started: as best friends.
One morning she met up with Shane and unloaded on her. She didn’t know what to do. They seemed to be deadlocked and Dana did not know how to move things along. It wasn’t that she wasn’t happy with spending time with Alice — she was thrilled about it. She just knew there could be so much more, but, she couldn’t figure out how to break out of the “friend” box. Dana saw the looks that Alice got from other women (completely oblivious to the fact that she attracted many of the same looks). She didn’t know if she could handle it if Alice started dating someone else.
Shane looked at her distressed friend and said simply “Ask her out.”
Dana looked thunderstruck and said “Brilliant!”
“Yoda I am.” Shane responded with a ghost of a grin.
Later that day, Alice was at home going over some notes when her cell phone rang. She quickly recognized the ring tone she had set for Dana and answered.
“Hi, Al! I was just thinking about you and wanted to see how you were doing.”
Dana really could be so sweet. “Just fine, Dane. Getting a little work done.”
“That’s great. Uh…” Alice smiled to herself. She wondered what Dana was having problems saying. She could imagine the athlete bouncing side to side as she tried to formulate her thoughts.
“What is it, Dane?” Alice said softly. “You know you can tell me anything.”
That gave Dana the courage she needed. “I was wondering. Um. I was wondering if maybe I could take you out to dinner tonight.”
Alice was confused. “You want to eat out instead of having pizza here? I guess that would be fine.”
Dana inwardly cursed herself for not being clearer. “No. I… Uh… Want to take you out. You know, like on a date?” Dana then started talking quickly “I know you may not want to and you may not be ready for anything, but, I really like you. Well, shit, you know that. In any case… Man I suck at this…” Dana trailed of sullenly…
“Dane?” Alice cut in. “If you’re sure you really want to try again, I would love to go out with you.” Alice could hear the athlete start to breathe again on the other end of the phone. “But Dana. Please be sure you are ready. I really… I really don’t think I could survive another rough break-up.”
“Alice, honey, I have thought this through and I am committed to working on the relationship this time instead of talking it for granted.”
“Can I ask you why you did this over the phone?”
Dana blushed and was glad that she was on the phone. “I didn’t think I would have the courage to ask you in person. And I figured that I could take any rejection better over the phone.” Alice was thrilled at Dana’s honesty.
“So what time should I be ready for this date, Miss Fairbanks?”
She could almost hear Dana smiling. “7:30 work for you? Wear something cute but comfortable.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Alice responded. “I’ll see you at 7:30.”

Wonderful – again you have surpassed yourself – fantastic – encore – more – standing ovation – please post soon.
Hello again, I had to come back to comment on that scene at the end… the whole asking on the phone thing was so so so good… I love how cute these two are with each other and I absolutely love their honesty and playfulness… just another reason why you are a brilliant words smith my friend… just so passionate and fun. Sincerely, JC
YAY AN UPDATE!!! lol. Yet again another fantastic update at tht. Was reli sweet to have Angie come in, just like a perfect little family lol. Glad that they are communicating more easily and Dana was so completely honest without finding it hard to be :) So cute!! Cant wait for next post. :) x x
These two are so cute. I was lmao at the Auntie parts. And Dana still hasn’t mastered the ever-changing art of asking somebody out on a date. Bringing in Joyce was a nice touch. And friends really are always there for each other.
Hey MaGoose, I love your story. I’ve been reading for a while and you’ve become one of my favorite danish writers. I just create an account to comment on this.”Support Alice or answer to me!”
loved that part. Sorry for my english (I know it sucks)… Oh and please post soon :)
awesome chap….Dana asking Alice out was a complete flashback to highschool..too cute
YESSS! GOT WHAT I WANTED! Thank you so much,i was so excited to finally read that they are going to take another crack at their relationship! I’m just so happy to see them making steps to being whole again! Cant wait to see where this leads us! Great chapter, Love it!
Yay!!!!
Hello MaGoose, this was so perfect… yes in every relationship no matter what your status is you do need to talk and break through those barriers that separate you. I love how naively innocent Dana is… no matter what has happened during the time she wasn’t with Alice she still acts all giddy and lost when it comes to her… the fact that Dana stumbles asking Alice out on their “first” date is so cute and so believable considering the character… this is in fact the woman that she is “in Love” with and this interaction is just so cute. I’m curious when the time comes who will bare the children cause with how they interact with Angelica I think that they are destined to become amazing parents. Another Brilliant job my friend. Sincerely, JC
