Dana’s smile faltered at the unexpected reminder of Alice’s past relationships. And the idea that she had brought another girl to meet her mother.
Alice rolled her eyes in exasperation, saying, "Mother, that was Shane. She wasn’t my girlfriend. She’s Dana’s roommate now."
Lenore appeared little interested but to her credit, she did pick up on the fact that Alice seemed genuinely to care for this Dana person.
Wanting to be courteous, Lenore asked kindly, "And where do you and Shawn live, Dana?"
Alice flung her hands up helplessly as Dana said in a nervous tone, "The Peterson dorms. And, it’s actually Shane, Ms.- uh- Lenore."
Lenore seemed thrilled that Dana was addressing her by her given name. Usually she had to beg kids that were Alice’s age to call her that. They all wanted to add the Ms.
Taking Dana’s hand in hers and giving her a comradely grin, Lenore said, "You know, Dana, you remind me very much of a woman I used to know." Lowering her voice dramatically, she winked at Dana and said conspiratorially, "she was a Charlie’s Angel."
———-
Forty five minutes later found Alice, Dana, Lenore and Helena seated around the coffee table drinking assorted spirits. Lenore was making headway on her third vodka rocks, Alice was following closely behind on a gin and tonic, and Helena and Dana were demurely sipping wine while watching the mother and daugher worriedly.
"Oh, I wish I had some pictures to show you girls. Alice was such a hellraiser. She used to absolutely terrorize her brother and sister."
Alice was looking deeply unhappy at the possibility of having more embarassing childhood foibles unearthed in front of her girlfriend and best friend. It had been amusing at first but it quickly became clear that Lenore’s parenting skills had been lacking somewhat.
Alice was becoming more tense and consequently drinking more liquor to combat that growing tension. No matter what, she loved her mother and it was humiliating to Alice that she told her stories without a clue as to the light they bathed her in. Alice had sadly lost most respect for her mother a long time ago and she hated that her mother was losing her friends’ respect now. And to make matters worse, Alice could almost feel the sympathy that was radiating from Dana and Helena. Both girls were so compassionate and Alice cringed at the idea that they might pity her.

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 :)
