    Author Notes:

    Dana likes “lady parts”, Alice can’t help her Tourettes, Alice and Dana find common ground and try to make a fresh start. (I hope it’s much more interesting than this lame summary).

    After Tina had decided to give it another try with Bette, Helena had been somewhat outcasted from the group she tried ineffectively to be a part of for months. Alice understood her friends’ loyalty to Bette, and could even give Bette the benefit of the doubt when it came to her acrimonious feelings towards the British woman. But just because she understood it didn’t mean she had to like it. After all, Helena had never done anything to Alice besides generously give her a Hermes scarf when she needed to cover up the hickeys on her neck. The writer figured that that act alone made Helena okay in her book. And after they had ran into each other at the Starbucks down the block from The Planet for a predictable four days in a row, Alice decided to stop drinking her coffee alone and invited the other woman to sit with her. And that was how that friendship began. It wasn’t as if Alice ever felt that her friends were turning their backs on her, or making her feel unwelcome like she figured Helena must have felt, but it was just easier to avoid the uncomfortable situations that would likely ensue. And yes, Alice understood that it was she herself making the situations so damn intolerable, but she hadn’t been ready to accept Dana as part of her life again, or pretend that they could just fall back into being best friends forever. While she garnered that her friends understood that and would support her through this heartrending time, she had no desire to be put in situations she wasn’t yet ready to face. Namely, situations called “My girlfriend dumped me for her ex and I get to sit there and watch them make goo-goo eyes at each other over coffee and danish.” And while Alice did in fact love danish (I mean, how could you not?), she wasn’t able to bring herself to watching Dana enjoy it with someone else yet. So pushed together by their self-induced solitary confinement, Helena and Alice became close companions in record time. It seemed they had much more in common than the writer had ever thought possible, and they quickly bonded over their mutual aversion to The Planet, their love for British invasion bands of the 60s, and a growing intolerance for the bitter taste of Starbucks’ daily roast.

    1. Cute danish comments at the beginning of the story.The “peeper” scene was one of the few times that I felt bad for Dana. It made me cringe when I saw it, and when I read it. Man, Alice was in bad shape, and she couldn’t stop herself. I love that they are finally on the road to friendship, though I expect it to be rocky. Thanks so much for the update!I have no willpower when it comes to fanfic. I either find myself running late for work in the morning because of an update, or in this case, late for a Christmas party. I think I have 9 minutes to get ready, but it was soooooooooo worth it! Happy Holidays.

    2. I don’t know why you’re not entirely happy with this, I think it’s fabulous. I love the explanation as to how Helena and Alice became friends, and of course the danish comments…I did that too, a few chapters back in my story, and laughed the whole time I was typing it out. Anyway, I’m rambling but I love the direction you’re taking this, and it’s making more and more sense as it goes on. You make it realistic and true tothe characters, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for the original version. Thanks for posting this, have a good holiday and congrats on getting through your finals!

    3. I don’t see anything to dislike in this chapter. I enjoyed it; I thought it was realistic and the pace is right. Small moves, for the both of them, but actually a giant leap from where Al and Dana had been. We’ll have to see how they get on next time at the Planet. Good on you for getting through your finals, post soon, and have a Happy Christmas. Cheers!

    4. If only something like this had happened in the show :( you have no reason not to be 100% happy with this because it’s amazing. You have me laughing one minute, pausing for deep thought, almost in tears the next it’s just brilliant and it seems to explain a lot of things that we didnt see in the show. I too love how Helena and Alice became friend, I can so picture that happening, however don’t slate starbucks coffee, I use it every day at work :P xx
