The gang had all gathered at Jenny & Shane’s as a sort of impromptu celebration for the book deal Jenny had learned she got earlier that day. All of that gang that is, except Alice, who was at home frantically getting ready for the first date she had had in months. Shane, Jenny, Max, Tina, Kit and Angus were all seated in the living room sipping on various drinks, while Helena was busy helping Carmen in the kitchen with the finishing touches on the cake she had baked in honor of Jenny’s achievement.
“So where’s Al tonight?” Carmen inquired of Helena as she gathered some plastic utensils and paper plates from a bag on the counter. Helena was busy making dainty little flowers on the top of the cake with a tube of pink icing.
“Believe it or not, Alice is on a date.”
“Ohhh, that’s right. Shane mentioned something about a singer in a band?”
“Yes, and according to Alice, she’s ‘fucking hot’. I believe that was the exact terminology she used.” The two women chuckled at Alice’s penchant for the word ‘fuck’ .
“Well good for her,” Carmen mused.
“Indeed. It’s high time she put herself out there again. I just hope this one treats her like she deserves to be treated,” Helena mumbled the last part to herself so as to not openly offend Dana in front of her friend. It wasn’t that Helena disliked Dana necessarily, but she reserved the right to dislike what she had done to Alice. Although she never spoke to Dana about the breakup, or really heard her side of it, Helena was admittedly biased against her.
While Los Angeles was beginning to grow on Helena, she couldn’t shake the growing sense of distrust she had for nearly everyone she had met there. It seemed as if for her entire life, everyone she encountered had wanted a piece of her in one way or another. And the way to get said piece was typically to kiss her ass as much as possible, even faking friendship and loyalty if need be. LA had proven no different than the other cities Helena had previously inhabited, as here it seemed that her money and reputation made her an even easier target for such sycophants and hangers-on. Helena Peabody had accepted the fact that she was seldom liked for who she truly was, but instead sought after by people who would befriend her only to use her power, reputation, or cash flow to their advantage. But there were a few exceptions throughout her life, and Alice Pieszecki was one of them. Alice was one of the few people in this town who had showed Helena any genuine kindness whatsoever since she arrived here from New York, and honestly seemed to want nothing in return but her friendship. And since they got along so damn well, and shared a common respect and love for each other, Helena couldn’t help but think little of anyone who would hurt Alice. This of course included Dana.

LOL I’m glad you liked my Carrie rant and the only thing missing was the cosmo since I was smoking lol. However after the last cosmo incident I had I vowed not to drink them again for a very long time. Anyway back to what’s important, your story, your amazingly fantastic story. Jules, I half love her half hate her, she’s so damn cute and funny and perfcet and that’s great if I wasn’t such a danish lover. My heart is being torn betwene Alice’s sanity and a danish relationship, your making it sound like they belong apart because it’s easier on them both which makes me very sad :( I think Dana’s reaction was totally realistic to her character and if I was Lara I’d be major pissed off. Ok that’s enough ranting for now, awesome post, you’re putting me to shame big time. PPS xx
i feel bad for dana – she sounds so confused. but then at the same time i am happy for alice that jules sounds so awesome. thanks for posting so fast and ggreat job.
It seems like everyone on this site is trying to out me lately, in some form or another. First De_leish_ous outs me as a Danish perv, now you’ve outed me as a Jules fan…before long there won’t be any closets left to hide in. I really liked this one, you got a lot accomplished in only a few pages. I just have to ask…and feel free not to answer if you don’t want to, but…are you a Helacious fan, by chance? Just wondering. And as to Alice having a type, Jules does have dark hair, right? ;) I’m such a nerd, sorry. Anyway, you do a freaking fantastic job of getting into Dana’s head, and if I were Lara I’d be really pissed off right about now. You’ve managed to make me feel bad for the Soup Chef, so be proud!
Watching a Jet game with Patriot fans … sorry for you! Are you going to hang out with your Pats friends next week too? I find myself liking Jules a lot. She seems to have real depth. I hope she’s someone Alice can fall for.I think Dana doesn’t wants to be so selfish as to mess up things for Alice, but I’m sure she’ll blow up the thing with Jules – eventually.Go Helena! Speak the truth! :-D
Well let me start off by saying that you can never talk to me too much about music. lol. It’s pretty much my life :D Moving on to Jenny Lewis, I have met her several times and she is amazing and beautiful. I will have to tell you the story sometime of how we first met but it was awesome and hilarious and she’s fantastic! Very short though…which surprised me a bit…anyways, RK is my all time fav band and her solo album was excellent! PM sometime about them. Ok so on to the story. lol. This was awesome and I love where it’s headed. I don’t know how I missed this story but I am glad I found it. Keep up the great work and post again soon!
