“What the fuck, Helena?” Alice bemoaned as Helena’s car rolled into a parking spot in front of the We Ho Yoga Center. Helena decided to ignore the displeasure in her friend’s voice as she slowly put the car in park and turned off the ignition.
“Darling, some exercise will be good for you. It’s exactly what you need to clear your head,” she reasoned as she turned to face a pouting Alice.
The writer glared at the building suspiciously and narrowed her eyes. “You know, when you said you had a surprise for me…something that would make me feel better, I sort of pictured a few bar stools and some alcohol…maybe even a stripper and a pole.”
Helena’s eyes widened as she noticed the time on the clock read 10:45 in the morning. Although the two had gotten relatively close over the past few months, Helena still found herself being taken aback by the exasperating declarations that would often come out of Alice’s mouth. Come to think of it, she wasn’t really sure that Alice’s ability to be…well, Alice, would ever lose its shock value.
“My God Alice, it’s not even 11 am.”
”So?”
“So, you can’t possibly be thinking about drinking…at a strip club…at this time of day.”
“Fine. Let’s compromise and go to Hooters instead.”
Helena shook her head and smiled wryly at the writer. “Come on now. No more thoughts of booze and women, in we go.” She undid her seatbelt and ushered Alice out of the car.
“Alright, fine… but Yoga? I don’t think holding the Hairy Dog or Rusty Peacock position for an hour is really what I need.”
Helena couldn’t help but laugh at the writer’s absurd assessments. “Alice, darling, I have absolutely no idea what you think the…Hairy Dog or Rusty Peacock are exactly, but I’m sure I have no desire to find out. All I ask is that you give it a try. Yoga is a great release of stress and frustration. It forces you to relax.”
“Look, if you want me to go exercise so badly, then I’ll go run to the Santa Monica Pier or something.”
Helena looked at her doubtfully, raising an eyebrow at her insincere attempt to avoid one form of exercise by volunteering to do another.

This story just keeps getting better and better, I was so unbelieveably excited to see all my fav authors posting in the past couple of days and not one of you guys has been a disappointment. This story is just simply amazing and you portray Alice so well, I kinda feel what we didn’t see in the show is shown in this fanfic which is comforting :) I love where you’re taking this as tragic and heartbreaking as it is, it’s also f*cking brilliant. Can’t wait for the next chap. xx
whoa! could actually feel the burn of Alice’s last words. that was an awsome chapter, looking forward to your next!!
Ouch. This is painful to read, but it’s so well done that it’s worth it. This thing just keeps getting better, and it’s so much more realistic than what we were allowed to see. It’s good to see that Alice recognized Bette’s condescending attitude, it always bugged the crap out of me. Anyway, I hope some sort of resoultion will happen soon.
I see what you mean about them barely being friends. I was thinking the same thing as Muted – “ouch”, but I must truly be evil because as much as Dana may have needed to break up with Alice – the way she did it was really crappy – and I wasn’t exactly feeling sorry for her. Alice definitely needs to get herself together, and ultimately only hurts herself by holding a grudge against Dana, but I loved her parting comment. Bette is definitely an unforgiving pain in the neck, but hey – we need all kinds to make the world go ’round. I was surprised that you made the time to update because I know you must be super busy. Maybe you’ll be able to sneak a few more updates as class assignments… Well, it was worth a try. :-)This story does keep getting better and better.
I know its cruel to laugh at someone else’s misfortune but this is very funny and very sad…PPS
Six months is a long time to avoid someone. There’d have to be an undercurrent of tension that made it hard on everyone, not just Alice and Dana. As for them “choosing” Dana, it’s maybe just that Dana’s appearing to be a bit more “in control” since the breakup. Bette and Al… well, Alice wasn’t that tolerant of Bette’s “weakness” when she cheated on Tina, so I guess Bette’s being intolerant of Alice’s. Being pally with Helena probably isn’t helping matters. They obviously still care about each other or they couldn’t hurt one another. Those two (B & Al) need to talk. And all the above notwithstanding, six months *is* a long time for the group to have to choose to spend time with either one (Al) or the other (Dana). It’d be draining. See? Your post made me think. Keep ’em coming, I’m really into this story.
God! I thought that watching the break up and awkwardness between Danish was bad, but you write so damn crystal clear and perfect that I think this is harder to handle! Please update again soon, seeing as how I fucking love this story! And by the way, I still have one more chapter to my Danish story. Maybe if you update again soon, I could work out an update from me! ;-)
