Dana sensing the subtle changes in her friend reach up and pulled Alices face down for a kiss. But before their lips touched Alice pulled back. Dana this can not happen. I cant do this to Helena. Dana accepted defeat looked into her friends eyes and said. I guess were back to the rules? Alice laughed slightly at this comment. Yes were back to the rules of unattraction.

As the two got up to return to the group they both felt like they had broken up again. Dana felt like she lost the person she was meant to be will because of stupidity; couldnt wait for this night to end so she could go home and crawl into a hole for the rest of her life.

Alice for her part was confused as ***** and deep down wishing she could take Dana somewhere and make everything alright for both of them. But she knew she couldnt she had made a commitment to Helena who she did love. And Alice was never the type of person who ran around on someone she was committed to. Or would break a commitment with out a valid reason. And even though she loved Dana more then life itself. She loved Helena also; and she would just have to live with that. Dana was the one who broke her heart she kept reminding herself not Helena.

The group continued to talk and catch up for several hours, before Alice looking at the time realized she needed to get back to the Hotel before Helena started to get worried. As she got up to leave she told the group. Im probably going to be in town for a while, I hope we can get together again if everyone wants.

Bette just looked at her friends happy at how things had turned out replied Yes Alice I think we would all like that. We still get together almost every morning for coffee. Please join us and Helena is welcomed also.

After they all hugged Alice good-bye and she was out of the Planet. Shane looked over at Dana and asked what everyone wanted to know How you holding up Dana? Dana who had been doing good all night about not crying couldnt hold it any longer. Not good.
