However, when she started pulling away, Alice started pushing even harder. And this, coupled with the fact that Lara had re-entered the picture and Alice had suddenly developed pretty serious dependency issues, Dana felt like the only thing she could do was run away. She knew it would hurt Alice and maybe even damage their relationship beyond repair. But when the going got tough, Dana could think of nothing else to do but get going. It may have been the cowards way out, and it may not have really been what she wanted, but sticking around and dealing with their problems head on was something that Dana wasn’t trained to do. So just like her first relationship with Lara, when she felt the redhead had expected too much of her and things got uncomfortable for Dana, she ran. And when Alice had expected too much of her and wanted more of Dana than she was willing to give, she ran even faster.
And now she was back with Lara, who had begun to seem unhinged over Dana’s unresolved feelings for Alice. But unlike the last time, instead of pushing Dana to deal with things she wasn’t ready to deal with, Lara remained silent and joined Dana in sweeping their problems under the rug. The chef had picked up on Dana’s subtle pattern of quitting when things either got too difficult, or when she felt forced into dealing with her problems. So Lara resolved to pretend everything was fine, just like Dana was so content with doing. She didn’t know how long she’d be able to operate under that pretense, but she figured she could do it as long as Dana could.
And so Dana did what she was raised to do, and Lara followed her lead accordingly. They both acted like things were perfect and they didn’t discuss Alice, or Dana’s feelings about her. And for the most part, things were fine. But this was also due in part to the fact that although Alice and Dana had resolved to work on their tattered friendship, the two had very little contact over the past three weeks. Dana wasn’t sure if Alice had been avoiding her, but she wasn’t planning on questioning it. She figured Alice’s absence could have something to do with the date she had gone on, and that was something she couldn’t get past. Despite Dana’s imagination probably being much worse than any reality there was, Dana had no need for Alice or anyone else to confirm her suspicions that the writer was too busy starting a relationship with someone else, to worry about her friendship with Dana.

I’m liking this more and more every time you post, so yay or something. And I knew I could spot a fellow Helacious fan…but it’s so hard to write her properly while Dana’s still (rightfully) around. Well, for me it is, anyway. And you’re right, I do feel even worse for Lara, although I think she’s kinda digging her own grave by trying to be supportive. Poor soup chef just can’t win no matter what she does. Anyway, I hope Dana gets her head clear about the relationship she’s currently in before she goes making trouble with Alice’s new one…and yeah, I still like Jules. Please make her say “motherfucker” at least once, will ya?
Poor soup chef muted? Poor soup chef my ass! If you ask me she’s the only thing keeping danish apart right now, that and Jules who seems to perfect to be true, can you make her have a penis or something so Alice can break up with her and danish get back together? Ok maybe not that, your story is doing ickedly awesome without my ‘ideas’. You describe Dana perfectly, there’s no other word aside perfect. I just hope she can get her shit together and realise that Alice is the one for her and she truly won’t find another woman better for her. You know I would be kinda happy with Helacious in season 4 since Dana is no longer around, I’ll put it that way since it hurts less :( Now I’m just typing for the sake of typing so I’ll stop and say awesome post, I need more of it, so you must do as Bradshaw says and write more :D xx
…love it, please update.
Can’t wait for the party! I love where this is going! You’re doing a fantastic job my dear :D This was too short! I gotta know how the party goes damnit. lol. ok so great job and PPS. Oh and I’ll check for your PM. lol
De_leish – if Jules has a penis, she may be the perfect one for Alice, and we’ll never see danish again. lolI can’t feel sorry for Lara because she’s going against her own nature, and she knows that Dana still has feelings for Alice, but hey she got what she wanted. She got Dana back, but not all of her. Dana’s ability to avoid things strikes a little too close to home, so I’m going to leave her alone on that one. lolLet’s get this party started! Soon, please. :-)
