Helena kissed Dana’s cheek in greeting, smiling when the tennis player complimented her.
The pianist sat down beside her; questioning curiously, "Where’s Alice?"
Dana gestured in the direction of the bathroom, saying seriously, "She’s in the bathroom blowing her nose."
Helena looked as though Dana had shared too freely and wrinkled her nose but the tennis player continued blindly, "I’m starting to get worried. I think she might be coming down with something."
The Brit suddenly became much more sympathetic, murmuring, "This would be an absolutely horrible time for Alice to be ill. She’ll be crushed if they have to cancel the show this weekend."
Dana nodded her head agreeably, responding in a low tone, "Do you think she would? Cancel, I mean. I’m worried that she’ll just try to ignore it."
Helena considered Dana’s concern. It was still two days away. Plenty of time for things to get worse or better. Opting to hope for the best, and wanting to assuage Dana’s worries, Helena patted her hand warmly and said, "I think it won’t come to that. We’ll see that she gets some rest."
Dana smiled at Helena’s reassurances, stating, "You’re right. I’m sure she’ll be fine. I just wish I didn’t have to leave this weekend."
Helena took a sip of the waterglass in front of her then said, "Mmm. I understand. But I’ll look after her."
———
Alice emerged from the bathroom looking much the same. Her nose was slightly pink but otherwise she appeared unscathed and Dana smiled upon seeing her.
Alice sat down, glancing at Helena appraisingly. The Brit saw Alice’s strange expression and said, "Alice, what in the world are you doing?"
The musician looked up sharply, saying in an overly chipper tone, "Hmm? Nothing. I just like that shirt. It’s a good shirt."
Taking Alice at her word, Helena turned her attention to the menu. Dana followed suit and Alice used their combined distraction to peer out the window for Shane and Bette. Alice was growing restless now that the plan was set to begin. Knowing Helena as well as she did, and knowing Bette still more intimately, Alice knew that the match could be a stroke of genius or the end of the universe.
Helena suddenly rising from her seat cause Alice to snap her attention back to the Brit. Alice questioned in a strangely intense tone of voice, "Where’re you going?"

This was great. Even though B&H wanted to be right they couldn’t help but notice how hot the other was. And Alice,Dana&Shane reaction was so real. Thanks for the update!!
looking good. Dinner might just have lots of fireworks
WOW…Let’s just say that Operation Hellcat Pissaco went down the drain! lol Bette and Helena are so much alike it’s scary, but what will happen with the dinner between the two Alpha ladies??? Will TK reappear or will she stay in the dark?? Wonder what redhead Shane was talking about, hopefully it’s not L. Anyways, as for Alice and Dana, I love the little part in the classroom–a little nap. I’ve done it a few times myself, but anywho, really hope that Alice isn’t getting sick bc it would be a bummer if the show would get canceled. Maybe A should slow down, so she doesn’t end up passing out or something like an illness. But I know you wouldn’t disappoint me! I’m glad that you’re still enjoying my story, and thanks once again for this great chapter. PPS.
Haha, looks like Alice’s weirdly thought out set-up might produce some sparks after all. I really hope you’re planning to out Ms. Fairbanks a tiny bit if Al should get famous. If not, that’d be sad for the both of them. I mean, she doesn’t have to shout it from the rooftops, but a little open affection toward her rock-star girlfriend wouldn’t be the end of the world. But I dunno, I’m writing her long after she’s come out so this is new to me. Anyway, I adore the cuteness of Danish and the funniness of Shane. The two privileged birches duking it out over poetry publication dates didn’t do much for me, but then, I despise pretentious people so that might have a tiny bit to do with it. I’m so not a type A with a need to be correct. And Texas, huh? I’m not too terribly far from you. Go America…or something. Haha. Anyway, post soon and all that jazz. I’m babbling my ass off, but it’s after 4am so at least I have a slight excuse.
Whoa Frip I see that this luch date of sorts was so great I loved it,,Bette actually wring and Helena being gracious about it and then to have them actually go out on a date,,,LOL. I can only imagine when both women find out that they ahd been put together by their friends,,great chapter there frip, but is Al getting a cold and if so this is not good at all!!!
ooohh operation hellcat picasso! I am loving this, I can not wait for your next update. I hope Alice will feel better soon. I’m glad I checked in here, I’m almost late for dinner(pathetic) but I am by no means regretting that I paused to read.x0x
Love it love it love it…that’s all I have to say really
Been there, done that, and even got several T-shirts from different bars. I have also left the contacts in my eyes countless times because of some serious partying. Now I just wear glasses most of the time and I won’t have to deal with seeing through fog in the morning or afternoon or evening after. You are not deluding yourself. I feel the same way. It was quite obvious when D turned away from A after hearing about the date with Chandra and what she said as Alice was leaving for her date. Also when they were out shopping on the way to see Dr. Love. God why couldn’t they let her live? I must have asked myself a thousand times. The truth is I frequently re-watch the entire 3 seasons, focusing mostly on Danish. Now you tell me how pathetic I must be. I shall get to Goldrun15 this weekend. And thank you for postponing the red head. There is another story out there right now with D having her 1st time with L not A. I was stunned because A was with Tasha. But there had to be something between A & D. I couldn’t find myself commenting on that story. About the deleted scenes, you can put a few together in a chapter. I am sure it will be a blast because of the way you imagination and writing. Anyway back to this chapter. I really wonder how much they learnt in class with all the distraction. I couldn’t stop chuckling. Operation Hellcat Picasso = Operation Hell Piss-Her-Off. I was just about to give A, D & S an A for the effort for trying to set B & H up as consolation prize. Then you surprised me with a dinner date. This was fun to read. Now I can retire for the night. Thanks again for another sweet Danish night cap.
