2 Days Later – Chapter 16? 17? (Or, I begin to further the plot. Or try 15 on size?)
Alice watched interestedly as the sound technician adjusted the microphone’s position. There was a little click and then the room was filled with the voice of Jerry; the session producer manning the soundboard on the other side of the glass.
"Okay, Al. Try it again."
She nodded and played a little chord progression with a tentative look on her face as she watched his reaction through the window.
Jerry started beaming at her almost immediately and flashed an enthusiastic thumbs up, saying through the intercom, "Awesome. That sounds great."
Alice couldn’t fight the answering grin that appeared on her own face. Jerry was a very experienced producer that knew his way around the recording studio. He’d even played bass during some of the sessions for Stevie Wonder in the seventies; a fact that had resulted in an impromptu version of "Superstition" that Alice bluffed her way through on bass, much to Jerry’s immense enjoyment.
Jude wandered over, his straw blonde hair hanging flat underneath the enormous black headphones he wore. His cool blue eyes were bright and gleaming; Alice could see how much the studio session was pleasing him. Sitting down in the chair near Alice and picking up his own guitar, he said seriously, "This take’s yours, Al. Play that song you’ve been working on."
Alice’s eyebrows drew up in surprise at the request. It was still very much unfinished and rough. She’d come to think of it as Dana’s song though the lyrics never explicitly named her. Alice had no problem playing around with it or tweaking it in practice but she said in concern, "Nah! Are you sure? Maybe we shouldn’t waste session time on it, Jude."
The blonde shook his shaggy head stubbornly and said, "Man, that song is so cool. It’s beatiful, Alice. And it’s kind of a departure for us. I think it’d be cool to lay down a track so we’ll have it later, y’know?"
Alice nodded reluctantly but remained unconvinced, saying, "Maybe it’s too much of a departure though. Too elevator muzak, you know what I mean?"
Jude was shaking his head amusedly when Jerry’s voice boomed over the speakers, "Play it for me, Al. Let me decide, okay?"

First Frip just take care of yourself and be safe with them hurricanes,,,,,,now I so missed your story, but was w/o my laptop cause it was with the TECH who can’t seem to still find what is wrong with it,,,LOL…anyway loved this story!!
This was yummy, lol…pps
Hey, Fripster!! Loved the chapter. Again I am struck by the detail you put in (the masking tape name on Bette’s door). You really have a talent for providing detail to set the environment without going into too much detail (if that make sense). Parent’s weekend is shaping up to be quite an event, eh? ;-D With Dana’s parents and also a possible Bette/Helena/Tina confrontation… As for 6 days: My heart is Danish. I love to see them fight through their problems and get back together stronger. If anyone can figure out a reasonable way to get the girls back together in 6 days (and 4 parts) I know you can do it. But I am with you for the journey no matter how it ends up. Thanks again for the wonderful stories!
Awesome, it’s good to know someone else knows what the hell I’m talking about when I mention EItS. Haha up here they’re pretty unknown, but I totally agree with the titles being poetry. I absolutely adore them, just like I adore this story as well as 6 Days. Glad to hear you’re okay! And please don’t feel pressured or like you need to explain your absence or anything. Like you, I was hooked on the World Cup and devastated when they lost so badly. I swear I want to punch that Marta in the face. And Solo should DEFINITELY have been keeper that game!! Gah. But anyway, yeah, I heart this and I heart you for writing it.
yay! hopefully no more hurricanes and no more absent dana. this was great. so glad youre back.
I thought I’d never see the day hahaha:D glad ur back frip! so everythings a-okay?where’s Dana though?bringsexyback in the next chap? hihihithanks again frip!;D
:)
Cross our fingers, this is it for the hurricane season. I hope fixing your roof is not a major repair. It can be such a drag. Glad to hear that you spent some time away from the keyboard to watch the women’s world cup. You really do not owe us any explanation for the lack of postage. I am simply happy to know that you are safe and I think I can speak for everyone that we love your stories so much that we don’t mind the wait. Your falling asleep with the soup reminded me of my 4 degree burn on the side of my leg with a heating pad. I remember waking up with a really bad hangover and a large blister on my leg. I hope you did not get hurt from the cup of soup. Seeing what you wrote to MaGoose, I think it could be either way. You have one sweet story going here. That will make up for “6 days” if A & D wouldn’t reunite in this 4 parts (chapters) story. There might not be enough time to work things out. Just my opinion. Back to this one, I felt kind of bad for A for worrying about the song. If someone write a song about me, I think I would be flattered and happy. But in D’s case, there would be repercussion. I could see how hard A was trying to protect D. Would this lead to a “D coming out” chapter? Now this is really getting interesting, T going to interview H. Wow, I can’t wait to see the triangle. Would it be B & T or T & H? I guess I just have to wait. Thanks fripster again for this fascinating story.
Great your back as love your story – but where’s Dana?
