“Hey-hey Jules, I want you to do me a favor and breathe, okay?” Alice coaxed.
Jules abruptly cut herself off and exhaled into the phone, “Right, sorry.”
“It’s okay. Now I enjoyed that little rant probably as much as the other 2 listeners that are still with us at this point, but I’m thinking you called me for some other reason?”
“Oh, yeah well you said that you were looking for some new music to play. There’s actually this showcase of new local bands down at The Knitting Factory tomorrow night, maybe you could come down and check it out.”
“You know, I actually heard about that. A friend of mine wanted to hear one of the bands play,” Alice trailed off as she remembered Shane mentioning something to her about some new band a few of the kids at Wax were hyping up.
“Really, which one?”
“Hmm, Three-Minute something or other”
“Three-Minute Warning?”
“Yeah that’s it…you know of them?”
“I guess you can say that. I’m the lead singer.”
“Wow, small world.”
“Alice, you should totally come down with your friend and hear us play. No pressure or anything, but if you like what you hear I can give you a copy of our EP to play on the air.”
“Well I appreciate the invitation, maybe I’ll stop by.”
“Okay great…but I have to warn you, if you’re as pretty as you sound, you might make it hard for me to concentrate on the music.”
Alice wasn’t even sure she heard her right, but she couldn’t help but wonder if this weird singer girl was flirting with her. “Well then I’ll just have to stand in the back to avoid any mishaps, won’t I?” she countered.
“I guess we’ll find out tomorrow…Oh, and Alice.”
“Yes?”
“I think Dana needs to get her head examined. It’s her loss, not yours.”
‘Yeah,’ Alice mused, ‘She’s definitely flirting.’
The following Night
Shane had been tapping her foot impatiently as she sat on Alice’s couch waiting for the writer to finish getting ready. She swore Alice had told her to meet her there so they could go over to the show together to save time. But after waiting 20 minutes for a half-dressed Alice to get her act together, Shane began to wonder if they’d make it there at all.

Woah so much happened and explained about our girl but firstly, Alice mate what are you doing going out and getting yourself emotionally involved with another woman when your in no fit state to handle yourself? Then again Jules could be could for her but maybe only as a distraction from her underlying problem…Dana. And now that Dana and Lara are rocky over Alice will they break up? And how will Alice react to Dana being single if they do? Will this cause Alice to flip out again blaming herself and how will Dana react to know that Alice is out dating again? oh my god way too many questions I need answers to like right now lol. I think I’m starting to sound like Carrie Bradshaw from SATC with these questions so I’m gonna round it up by saying awesome post, loving this story, you may not post often but damn they are brilliant when you do! xx
Gah! So much tension! So much uncertainty! I don’t know that I can take it! And dammit, you made me like Jules. I’m not supposed to like people other than Dana with Alice, so I’m quite perplexed, especially since you gave her Samuel L. Jackson’s character name in Pulp Fiction. But anyway, aside from my vexation I loved it. So much was explained, and you made it realistic and totally fitting for Alice’s character. I think I’m going to go crawl into a hole in shame now. Toodles.
WOot woot good for Alice! I wonder how Dana’s gonna take Alice dating again. Thanks for another awsome chapter, post more soon!!
I haven’t read yet, but there’s nothing more productive than posting!Okay, maybe that’s not quite true, but you should write as much as you can now – to make up for when you’ll be too busy again in a few weeks. (That didn’t sound self-serving, did it?) lol
I liked Jules too. I didn’t find her annoying at all, though when she called in, she sounded an awful lot like Dana. I’ve never wanted Lara and Dana to stay together – until now. Alice may not be ready for another relationship, but I’m all for a little distraction. I don’t think Alice’s problem is Dana. I think her problem is Alice, and her family issues growing up. I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with Jules and Alice.
i finally got caught up reading the past 5 posts and it is great. i love that you have given some background and reasoning for the things that alice and dana have done. it is definitely true to character. jules sounds super cute. i am excited for jealous dana when she sees them together. post soon.
So I have never read this fic before, but your summary sounded interesting so I gave it a shot and it’s great! I am gonna go catch up right now. lol. I also wanted to say that when you were naming bands and you mentioned Garbage and No Doubt, I was thinking…ok cool. This girl has good taste. But then…you mention Jenny fucking Lewis and Rilo Kiley…and I gotta say…you made me a fan for life. RK is my favorite band of all time and I have met Jenny and the gang several times. That was just too fucking cool when you mentioned them. So anyways, sorry for the ramble. This was great and I look forward to the next chapter. I’m off to read the old ones. lol
Loving this story and hoping you post again soon!
