"Oh no, Shane, I couldn’t do that," Dana sniveled as she grabbed a napkin to dry her tears. "Besides, Helena didn’t even invite me."
"Look, she wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. She knows you and Al are trying to work things out, but she also knew you two hadn’t really talked since that day at your place. So when she asked me if I thought it was a good idea, I told her that I wasn’t sure. But now that I think about it, I think this would be a great opportunity for you to show Alice that you do still care about her and want to be her friend.
"I don’t know…"
"You know, she did make the first step in coming to you and telling you she wanted to start fresh. Maybe she’s waiting for you to make the next move."
"I appreciate that, but I don’t want to ruin her birthday."
"You won’t ruin her birthday, Dane. Besides, if you get there and you think Alice can’t handle it, or you feel uncomfortable, you can just wish her a happy birthday and leave. No one will blame you for being a party pooper."
Dana mulled the idea over until Lara returned to the table, apologizing for being pulled away. "So what’d I miss?" the redhead inquired.
"We were just inviting Dana to Alice’s surprise party tonight," Carmen explained. Lara immediately tensed up and turned to Dana to gage her reaction. On the one hand she didn’t want to look at Dana because she knew her desire to be with Alice tonight would be written all over her face. But on the other hand, Lara knew she’d risk losing Dana entirely if she thwarted her attempts at reconciling the friendship. So contrary to what Lara really wanted, she found herself encouraging Dana to attend the party.
"No, Lara, I don’t think it’s a good idea," Dana half-heartedly countered.
"Dana, I think Alice would appreciate you making the effort to be there." Lara couldn’t believe those words were coming out of her own mouth. Not one part of her wanted Dana to be anywhere near Alice, especially since she suspected that there were one too many unresolved feelings shared between the two. But if she stepped between them and made Dana’s life more difficult, she knew Dana would consider running away like she was prone to doing. Plus, she figured that preventing her from doing what she really wanted would only drive her away further. So in order to keep up appearances, Lara continued to further urge her girlfriend to go.

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. :-)
