Bette looked thoughtful and said slowly, "Those two really fell fast, didn’t they?"
Shane nodded her agreement. Though it meant less time with both Alice and Dana, she was ecstatic for her friends. They were a really good match. They brought out the best in each other.
————————
Alice had swallowed the pills and to her surprise, she already felt better. Almost manic in fact, but she was so pleased that she could hardly care.
Noticing the improvement, Jude asked curiously, "You okay, Al?"
She nodded emphatically, saying, "Never better. Ready to rock."
He grinned and said, "Right on, buddy."
The four of them gathered for their pre-show ritual and held hands. Alice’s palms were clammy but nobody really noticed because they were all experiencing varying degrees of nervous excitement.
————
The audience cheered wildly as the A-Okays took the stage. Within moments they had launched into a rollicking version of one of their orginals and the crowd was lapping it up with a spoon.
The three girls at the table looked on as Alice moved around the stage with her usual high energy.
Shane looked incredulous and asked in disbelief, "She looks good, right?"
Helena and Bette had to agree but that didn’t stop them from worrying. Alice had appeared as though she belonged on death’s doorstep earlier and there was really no plausible reason for such a speedy recovery. She was either acting phenomenally well or she had taken something.
Seeing the beads of sweat on Alice’s brow, Helena sincerely hoped it wasn’t the latter.
————————————-
Alice finished her solo and turned around; the roar of the crowd at her back as she wiped sweat from her face and leaned against Frank’s drum kit for a moment. Jude was watching her worriedly but Alice mastered herself and turned around, ignoring the passing dizziness.
One more song to their encore act. She could make it.
Gritting her teeth in an unknowing imitation of Dana, Alice ripped into the next song and played her heart out for the next six minutes.
–
The band moved off the stage to thunderous applause but Alice hardly noticed. She was vaguely aware when someone took her guitar and then her eyes fluttered weakly and her vision blurred.
Reaching out blindly, she said deliriously, "Has anybody seen the Six Million Dollar Man."
Her body crumpled and she knew nothing else.

OMG her last words had to be the Six Million Dollar man,,LOL. Frip that was awesome and now I want to know what were in those pills and what does Al have? And Tina is now aware of Dana’s sexualtiy but will she publish it or be a rewl friend and keep it quiet? And last we see that both Bette and Helena are hot and mad about one another,,,love it… I think that Dana should call AL her “Rock N Roll Queen” you know that is the name of the song, its so cool…great chapter Frip.
Six Million Dollar Man? Oh, geez…lol…”I don’t know if I want to slap you or kiss you.” I loved that…so much passion and fury, it’s intoxicating…pps
whooo hooo! i liked this one a lot. helena and bette are great, like their old selves. fantastic, and alice is an unfolding drama i wanna read more of. pps!
You are truly amazing. What a great chapter. Is there something higher than an “A” game? ‘Cause you hit it. Poor Alice! Thank goodness she has close friends who I am sure will rush her to a hospital. I trust you that she will be OK (maybe with a little drama). I hope those pills weren’t too bad — and that she learns her lesson about taking random pills! I have a feeling that Dana is going to feel pretty bad about not being there. They really do complete each other. What a great step for Dana, though, to come out to Tina. I wouldn’t object to any Belena lovin’. I know they aren’t soul mates (like Danish), but, I would like Helena to get some. Oh — and I had those doctors in college! I’m starting to think we may be from the same school. I had a doctor that just had envelopes of pills on his desk that he would randomly hand out. The muscle relaxers were quite nice. Apparently the doctors that were no longer competent for the football team got sent to the clinic. BTW: I’m actually more of a “Mother Goose” than an “Iceman” (hence my login name — actually based on Top Gun — yes, I am that old). Please keep posting. I am addicted to this story.
Thank you for placing the blanket on A while she napped. I guess I was too late to suggest some mega dosage of Vitamin C and Echinesia for her cold before bed. What did you give A, poor A, I hope she did not damage her liver or kidney. I love the way you wrote A’s dialogue. They were sharp & funny. What is going on? Tina’s sick too. Was there a epidemic? It was great to see T being so good to D right away. The exchange between B & H was great and you ended with another unbelievable cliffhanger. How do you do it? See, everyone loves your story and you are posting at “ludicrous speed” (remember “Spaceball”?). Your story is so awesome that I want to respond immediate after each post. Unfortunately I had to go out as soon as I saw the post. All day long I couldn’t wait to come home and read. Thank you fripster!
