Before Dana could respond, Alice pulled away, taking Dana’s hand and leading her back towards the hotel. About a hundred yards away, a woman pulled off her headphones and baseball cap then angrily got up, heading in the direction of the hotel.
Drowning 36
Shane was typically the relaxed, calm person you wanted around during a crisis. She tended to keep a level head without the need for anxious dramatics that accomplish little. After seeing Dana off this morning, she decided to take a few matters into her own hands. After she had everything worked out, she could do nothing but wait. And that wait seemed endless. So the normally calm and relaxed Shane was now on her fifth cup of coffee and waiting with very little patience for Alice and Dana to return to the hotel.
She wasn’t sure what it was that had her more anxious, the crazy woman she knew would be watching Alice and Dana right now or the conversation that she knew that Alice and Dana were having right now. There are people in your life that through the years, become family, really more than family, they become your constants. They are the givens that make each day a little easier. Through their presence in your life, the worst day is just a little easier. Dana and Alice were those constants for Shane. After all of the years that they have known each other, Dana, Alice and Shane had shared a special bond. It was different than the ones with Tina and Bette. The bond wasn’t necessarily stronger it was just different. Alice, Shane and Dana all seemed to grow up together where Bette and Tina always seemed to be a step ahead in that manner.
Alice and Dana were the two that understood Shane best. They understood her craziness and knew how to deal with her when she was in one of those moods when she wasn’t able to be around people. They knew how to talk to her when her sullen mood was just a cover for actual pain and loneliness. They were the ones who could make her laugh without effort when she needed it. They were always together, back in the days before Alice and Dana were “Alice and Dana”. They were her closest friends. She’s already been through the friends break up before and it wasn’t pretty. When Bette and Tina broke up all of their lives were affected. Since Bette and Tina were the ones who always seemed a step ahead in their lives, when their lives crumbled around them, it hit all of them. Of all of them, Shane was hit the hardest. She had found comfort in their relationship, so their break up hit her on many levels. She didn’t come from a ‘happy family’. She didn’t know what long term relationships were supposed to be. She found her definition in Bette and Tina. When that definition turned out to have an expiration date, she didn’t know what to believe in anymore.

I do! I do! Gold star to me! Great update. Worth the wait. ;-D Love Shane’s description of the framily. So accurate. Glad the stalker was caught — I hope that is the end of her. I understand Alice needing time, but, I hope she and Dana talk soon. Thanks so much for continuing this, lucia!!
Hooray! I can’t believe my eyes when I saw the post. A big THANK YOU to you and Capesquad. I thought I would never have the opportunity to tell you that I love Cara and that Julia was a great character added. I read the story at least 3 times always thinking that I might have missed some clues to why D was so apprehensive telling A the truth to begin with. They would have avoided all the unnecessary tears and heartaches. Then again we would not have this fantastic story. I believe this has to be one of the best crazy fan story. I second what MaGoose said. Furthermore, I think the separation is called for. D must do some soul searching. What if there was another temptation and another crazy fan. I am sure Yoda would be there for her in A’s absence. Conveniently, T would be there to talk things over with A. Perfect scenerio. Thank you again Lucia. You have no idea how happy I am right now.
You just made my week. I love this story, so glad you’re continuing with it!
lucia – of course i remember this. when this first came out i was obsessed. i printed out the first chapters and would read them over and over again. i was obsessed. i had given up hope, but i am so glad you are continuing. this was a great chapter i am excited to see what lies ahead. i don’t mind how you wrapped up the stalker, to me this was always more of a love story that a mystery. can’t wait for more and thank you so much.
Cid!! so obviously i was happy to see you posted an update. (did you feel YOU had a stalker?) i found this way too late last night (this morning) and read it anyway- couldn’t help myself. Loved it then, loved it better sober! : )i liked how you handled the ‘disposal’ of the stalker- she’s always been outside the picture- try asshe might- she doesn’t even get the satisfaction of a dramatic confrontation. Alice needs to think about Dana without having to worry about her at the same time clouding the issues. I look forwardto hearing both her AND Tina vent… i look forward to all of it! Thank you for this.
i remember!!!! nice to see you back this is a great story and im glad your continuing with it. :) pps
