Lenore said, "Peabody? You don’t say!"
Winking at Alice saucily, Lenore turned back to Helena and said, "You know, I think I met your uncle Alistair many years ago-"
Breaking off, she had turned to whisper as an aside to Alice, "At Francis Ford Coppola’s house. He had just released The Godfather." Swiveling back to Helena she asked pointedly, "Anyway, that is your uncle? Alistair?"
Helena inclined her head and managed a polite, "Yes."
Dana was shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot, increasingly aware that Lenore hadn’t even glanced in her direction yet.
Alice noticed Dana’s obvious unease and inwardly cursed her mother’s awkward timing. Eventually, had things continued the way they were, Alice would have introduced Dana to Lenore but it would have been discussed exhaustively so that Alice was sure Dana was comfortable.
Alice squeezed Dana’s shoulder gently and interrupted her mother, saying, "Mom, I haven’t introduced you to Dana. Maybe you could tell Helena your story later?"
The musician noted Helena’s look of unparalleled relief and couldn’t help but crack a smile.
Helena had spent a morbidly fascinating half hour trapped in Lenore’s clutches once before and Alice knew she was reliving it even as Lenore turned her attention to Dana.
The actress looked contemplatively at Alice then back at Helena, opining, "Alice, maybe Helena could give you some pointers where make-up is concerned. I think all the late nights are taking their toll."
Dana’s eyes widened at the criticism but Alice just shrugged as if it was nothing remarkable.
"Sure, mom. I’ll get Helena to make me over later."
Helena gave Alice a conspiratorial grin but it froze on her features when Lenore suggested, "Maybe some drinks are in order?"
Helena appeared unsure; though Alice was reticent about the issue, Helena had been around her long enough to know that Lenore almost certainly had a mild problem with alcohol abuse but Alice only said wearily, "Sure, mom. But I want to introduce you to Dana."
Her immediate needs met, Lenore graciously turned back to her daughter and the pretty, young brunette beside her.
Smiling ingratiatingly, Lenore focused on the young woman, questioning lightly, "So you’re Alice’s newest girlfriend, then? Seems like I just met the last one."

Poor Alice!! I would probably curl up into a ball and die if my mother did that to me. At least she had Dana there with her fir support. So how long before Alice starts to grow tired of having to hide being with Dana? You can already see guilt of it all is eating Dana alive. But what about Alice? Do we get to see how she really feels about it all? Anyway I can’t wait for next post since you left us dangling there at the end. I just love a drunk Dana.
Not a drop of Danish tonight until you showed up at 3am EST. I was about to go to bed. What can I say? You are amazing! Thank you for your comment and analysis. I totally agree with you about ED’s & LH’s. If weren’t for their outstanding performance, I do not think I will be so hooked on reading all these Danish stories and writing comments at 4am. I thought I too came across a story or 2 about A & L. But I did not read them. So if you happen to know, please tell me then I shall broaden my horizon. You have Lenore down perfectly. Thanks a lot Lenore, “Seems like I just met the last one”; Charlie’s angel? (Like Jaclyn Smith and hope is not Kate Jackson); “and the six million dollar man came along”. Poor Alice. I couldn’t stop laughing while reading this chapter. You are just a natural and your timing is perfect. Sitting in the booth scene really hit the whole staying in the closet issue. Good job. Btw, you are way to humble about your success. I am still laughing as I am typing this. Bravo! And I did not have one drop of alcohol. Like I was telling Akiracolorblind earlier. Danish stories make the best night cap. Hope you have a happy weekend & looking forward to your next post.
Hey frip, I must say that I ahve always liked Leonore and wish she would be back on the show. You really got her pegged down and Al is so different wieh she is around. I feel that Helena and Dana got more than they wanted w/Leonore and see why Al is the way she is IMO. Great chapter frip!!
oohhh… leave us hangin right there huh? again, LOVE IT! I logged in two seconds after I got home! hahah I can’t wait for the next chapter
you are z best frip!!this story is beyond good loving it and no do not mind the quick posts look forward to my daily danish can always count on you making it delicious;)
Another excellent chapter! The drama was nicely offset with the humor and love between Dana and Alice. I hope the next installment picks up in the bathroom. And you can be my wingman any time….
HEY!!!! I do really agree wih you about ED & LH. I don’t think the story would be great if it wasn’t for their wonderful performance on the show! I love the Top Gun reference: that was cute. I love the story about lil’ Alice getting rescued by the Six Million Dollar Man. I felt sorry for Alice about her mother, but what mother doesn’t have an embarassing story about their child? lol anyways great job..PPS!
Awww. This chapter was a little hard to read. I had a rough childhood, so Lenore’s blatant disregard and condescension toward Alice bring back a lot of memories. Poor thing. I’m glad Dana was so supportive, though I kinda wonder why Shane wasn’t moreso. Oh well. And as toward me being Yoda, yeah right. I’m thinking you could teach me a thing or five about writing, so hush. This is great, can’t wait to read more.
hey! i love this story, its so cute & funny! i totally agree that ED & LH played the relationship soooo well on the show & that is what made it so interesting. looking forward to the next post :)
