Dana looked at Helena and sincerely hoped that this wouldn’t be one of those times.
Helena was watching Dana’s internal process quizzically. Dana finally seemed to come to some decision and questioned, "So, I guess you two are hoping you won’t run into each other any time soon, huh?"
Helena sipped her drink delicately and smiled back at Dana with an imperturbable Cheshire grin. "Actually, we’re going to dinner next week."
Laughing at Dana’s look of sheer horror, Helena gracefully patted her shoulder and walked elegantly back to her room.

Alice blinked awake slowly; rubbing sleep from her eyes and groping on the coffee table for her glasses. Though she was loath to admit it, the day that had begun so promisingly was threatening to end on a sour note.
She was beginning to realize that beyond the sneezing and runny nose, she was feeling a little weaker than usual. Scowling, she sat up and leaned her head back against the raised arm of the couch.
It would just not do for her to be sick this weekend. The show was already sold out and Frank had told her that they were receiving good press in the local papers. Evidently, the mention in Rolling Stone had solidified their already increasing buzz.
So for the lead guitarist and sometimes singer to fall ill before the date could be catastrophic. Alice’s look of unhappiness deepened when she remembered that Dana would also be gone this weekend.
Alice had become very accustomed to having Dana in the audience at the band’s shows. She loved to look out and see her girlfriend, standing off to the side looking like a ten year old girl at her first concert. It always energized Alice.
Suddenly, Alice felt the familiar tightening that signaled an oncoming sneeze attack.
Dana came into the room looking charmingly concerned and when the attack had slowed, Alice said miserably, "Fuck."
——-
Alice was tapping morosely at the piano while Dana hurried around the room picking up spare things and collecting her toiletries so she could prepare to head back to her dorm and
pack for the upcoming trip.
Alice played an intricate little pattern and Dana looked up smiling slightly. The song’s familiarity jarred her from her focus on packing and she walked over to sit beside Alice on the piano bench.

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!
