Alice looked thoughtful and responded, "Our manager’s got some time booked in a few weeks. I’m kind of worried though. We only had enough money to book about a week and half. I’ve got some songs finished but most of it’s pretty rough."
Dana clasped Alice’s hand under the table and she said to the table at large, "Trust me when I tell you there’s nothing rough about it. I’ve heard some of Alice’s ideas and I know I’m not an expert or anything but I think it sounds awesome."
Alice shot Dana a look so loving that Dana felt her heart give a pleasant lurch.
Helena said quickly, "I agree, Alice. Everything I’ve heard sounds brilliant."
———————————————————-
They were just paying the bill when Lenore said mischievously, "Anybody up for a nightcap?"
Alice’s happy, just-fed feeling quickly vanished, replaced by trepidation over Lenore’s seemingly innocent request.
"I dunno, Mom. It’s been a long week."
Shane, ever eager to stir the pot, said in a wheedling tone, "C’mon, Al. Since when have you turned down a chance to party?"
Helena had to admit that Shane had a point. Alice was often the last one in their group to call it a night.
Dana gave Alice’s knee a reassuring squeeze as Alice relented, saying, "Okay, why don’t we get a cab and go to the Matador?"
Shane grinned like a cheshire cat as Alice and Helena shared a look, wondering if she’d just made a fatal error in judgement.
——————————————————–
Dana had never been to the Matador, which was not in itself unsurprising. It was tucked away in a tiny, dirty building behind a derelict gas station. It’s inauspicious facade notwithstanding, Alice assured Dana that it was quite safe and remarkably fun.
Seeing her girlfriend’s disdainful look, Alice grabbed her hand and led her inside, saying, "C’mon Dane. You’ve had your shots, right?"
Shane followed closely behind, Lenore holding onto her arm to keep from tripping over the pothole ridden blacktop outside the club.
Helena had brought up the rear, casting furtive looks around her as she stepped neatly over puddles.
Once they were all inside, Alice let Shane lead everyone off to a table as she walked over to the bar and placed an order en masse.

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 :)
