Shyly extending her own hand, she added an accompanying melody and the two of them played quietly for a moment until Alice broke into reluctant laughter.
Dana smiled to see that Alice’s sense of humor was still intact. They were bothin increasingly tense over Dana’s looming absence. Both girls were depressed that they wouldn’t be able to see each other but more than that, they were genuinely concerned about the other. Dana was feeling leery about Alice’s flagging health and Alice knew how nervous Dana was about the upcoming tournament.
Wretchedly, Alice said, "This sucks, Dane. I wish I could go with you."
Dana leaned her head against Alice’s shoulder and said dreamily, "I wish I could stay. I’m worried about you."
Alice tilted her head to look at Dana and she repeated, "Worried about me? But, I’ll be fine! You’re the one we should be worrying about."
Dana pulled back at Alice’s words. She was having conflicting reactions to the musician’s statement. She was saddened that Alice would find it hard to believe that Dana would worry.
They’d spent enough time together now that surely she couldn’t doubt Dana’s concern? The other nagging emotion was the fact that Alice had unknowingly wounded her pride. Was she implying that Dana might not be up to the challenge of the tournament?
Deciding that one issue would be considerably easier to tackle, Dana said peevishly, "Worry about your self, Al.You won’t let anybody else. I’m gonna be fine this weekend. I can handle it."
Behind the lenses of Alice’s glasses, Dana could see the confusion swirling in her brown eyes. Obviously, that hadn’t been what she meant and Dana could see that though Alice didn’t move to apologize for the misunderstanding.
Instead, she looked at Dana carefully and said, "Of course you can. I’ve told you that already. I know you’ll be amazing."
Dana could see that she had ruffled Alice’s feathers and she said quickly, "Never mind, baby. I know that. I’m just so tense, you know? And I really hate leaving when you’re getting sick."
Alice scoffed good-naturedly, saying, "I’m fine. I’ll take some decongestants or something and it’ll be cool, Dane. Alice Pieszecki doesn’t do the common cold."
Reaching over to smooth Alice’s flaway hair, Dana said wryly, "I think the cold might do Alice Pieszecki."

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!
