Bette and Tina were a different story. In the few moments of clarity she had had over the past months, Alice could tell that Bette’s attitude towards her had changed. Sure, there was always a bit of friendly tension between the two, but now it seemed as if Bette had zero tolerance for Alice at all. And poor Tina would be stuck in the middle, trying her hardest to be a friend to them both. Alice wasn’t sure what Bette’s problem was, besides her uncanny knack to be an uptight bitch every now and then. But this was different, it was almost as if Bette was judging her and looking down upon her every time she opened her mouth…which struck Alice as ironic because Bette had done some pretty fucked up shit in the past and Alice always tried her best to be understanding and empathetic. She almost thought that somehow this was Bette’s twisted payback for Alice suggesting Tina go see that vulture lawyer Joyce Wishnia after Bette had the affair. It wasn’t like she wanted to think so badly of her friend, but she wondered why Bette felt the need to judge every move Alice made.
But right now, the task at hand was to somehow get through this insufferable Yoga thing that Helena was clearly hell-bent at getting her to try. Alice groaned and reluctantly pulled herself away from Helena’s car.
“Fine. But I swear to God, Helena, I refuse to break a sweat trying to perfect my Raging Bull stance.” Helena just chuckled and pulled Alice towards the building.
Later that Afternoon—The Planet
“Okay, so Yoga officially sucks,” Alice greeted Shane, Carmen, Bette and Tina as she plopped into an empty seat with a cup of coffee in hand. They all looked at her incredulously.
“Alice Pieszecki attempted Yoga?” Tina asked before anyone else could chime in.
“Helena made me do it. And it was miserable.”
“That’s what you get for hanging around with Helena Peabody,” Bette mumbled as she bounced Angelica on her knee. Alice gave her an icy glare.
“Actually my friendship with Helena has probably been one of the only things keeping me sane these past few months, but thanks for your input.”

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! ;-)
