    Author Notes:

    Danish! The aftermath of the bathroom encounter; Alice is starting to give into her true feelings; Bette gives Dana a pep talk, and Alice has trouble being “just friends”.

     

    This time Dana beamed even brighter. "You think that’ll work?"

     

    "What’s the worst that could happen? You get back the friendship you lost and ensure that Alice will be in your life regardless of the capacity? And you know, if it gets too hard and you can’t handle just being her friend, you figure out what to do if and when that happens. But I really don’t think it’ll come to that."

     

    "You don’t?"

     

    "Dana, no matter how hard we try to protect ourselves and avoid situations that run the risk of breaking our hearts, love makes us take those risks without abandon. And somewhere along the line we stop thinking with our heads and start feeling with our hearts. Alice is still in love with you. We can all see that, and she can do. She’s just trying not to feel it right now. But how much longer can she really live her life, denying herself of what her heart truly wants?"

     

    "But…what if she won’t even be my friend? I mean, I’m not even sure I deserve her friendship at this point."

     

    "Dana, I say this to you as someone who cares …," Bette sighed as Dana slightly cringed and raised her eyebrows hesitantly. "You really need to stop worrying about all the negative possibilities all the time and just go with your heart."

     

    Dana exhaled the breath she hadn’t realized she was holding and smiled up at her friend. "Thanks Bette."

     

    "Anytime. Now why don’t we go back inside so you can be a good friend?"

    As Bette put her arm around Dana’s shoulder and led her back into The Planet, the athlete couldn’t help but feel a small sense of hope simmering inside her. The unfamiliar feeling of optimism was a welcome change, and it was as if Bette’s words lifted up a bit of the burden she’d be carrying around lately. She resolved to heed the sage advice and be the most patient, selfless, loyal friend Alice had ever had. And if that didn’t show the writer that Dana was in it this time for keeps, she had no qualms about getting down on her hands and knees and begging for a second chance if that’s what it came to.

    1. As promised, I have returned, so huzzah or some other such thing. To start with, I must have skipped over your disclaimer this morning…I read it and didn’t stop laughing for a good five minutes. Thinking about it now is making me giggle again. I’m glad I don’t have any roommates, or I’d be off to the loony bin for sure. As for the story…well, I hope you’re being serious about the angst letting up soon. Sure, I can be a drama whore in my story, but it’s usually only for a chapter or two. Alice needs to get over herself. I mean, yeah, protecting yourself is all well and good, but you only get so far in life by observing it going on around you. And Dana needs to prove herself with more than just words. (Sidenote…when they finally do reconcile, can it be on a tennis court? The tennis dresses make me drool). And I’ll be glad to take Jules off Al’s hands when she goes back to the love of her life. Oh, and I’m glad somebody agrees with me on the Mariah thing. The very idea makes me cringe, but I have a friend who swears up and down that she’s actually pretty good. Whatev. Okay, now that I’ve babbled your life away, I’ll leave this with a plea for you to post again soon. I still heart this story even though it makes me want to tear out my hair.

    2. forget what muted said about the angst! we LOVE the angst… how can we have steamy, tension filled bathroom moments without angst? don’t hurry it- they’ve only just now started admitting the problem- that ought to be good for at least a few more chapters! : ) loved the scene with Bette too–“The unfamiliar feeling of optimism was a welcome change, and it was as if Bette’s words lifted up a bit of the burden she’d be carrying around lately.” very nice Swis. Post soon.

    8. am i first?? i’m never first for anything! anyway, i have to say this was a great chapter! i feel so bad for dana but she put herself in this position. can’t wait to see what happens next. post soon!

    9. Okay, I need to rush to my dead end job so I just skimmed this over, but it looks more than good. I’ll read it when I get home tonight and leave a much better, or at least more well-thought-out, comment then. Yay, you posted right after me! We rule.

    11. So glad to see you updating this story. Feeling sorry for Dana but, yeah, she put herself in this position. Your writing is wonderfully easy to read and the whole story seems to flow so well – lovin’ it!
