Bette said truthfully, "She sounds wonderful."
A mischievous grin appeared on Bette’s face and she said slyly, "Maybe you could fix us up."
Shane stifled a panicked cough at Bette’s choice of words and said to cover it, "I don’t have her number."
Bette patted Shane on the back, her brown eyes showing amusement as she said, "It’s okay. Redheads have never been my thing."
Bette spun around to open the door to the restaurant and Shane muttered under her breath, "Let’s hope hot, wealthy brunettes are more your speed."
————————————–
Bette was slowly letting her eyes adjust to the dimmer light inside Bruno’s when Shane said in a tone of carefully crafted disbelief, "What the hell? Look over there, Bette."
Bette followed Shane’s gaze until she spotted Dana and Alice seated together. Both girls were poring over menus and Shane hitched her head in their direction.
Alice looked up when Bette hailed them in a friendly tone. Alice feigned surprise and tried to ignore the irony in Shane’s low voice when the lanky girl said, "Fancy meeting you here."
Dana felt Alice’s hand squeeze her leg under the table and she piped up helpfully, "Sit down, Bette! You guys should join us."
Shane plonked into a chair beside Dana before Bette had the chance to respond verbally. Grinning, Bette moved around the table to take the seat beside Alice. She paused when she saw a tasteful, expensive purse sitting in the chair.
Arching an eye in Alice’s direction, Bette questioned, "New purse, Al?"
Alice looked at it then back at Bette, saying wryly, "No. You know me; I’m a fanny pack kind of girl."
Bette and the others shared a laugh at the absurd mental image provided by the prospect of Alice ever wearing one of the hideous yet practical belts.
Alice turned to Bette, who had taken the last empty chair and said, "It’s actually Helena’s. She’s just gone to powder her nose."
"I wasn’t powdering my nose, you wanker."
The sound of a new voice caused Bette to turn in her chair. She was greeted by the sight of a toned, svelte figure standing before her in clothes that looked tailored and extravagantly expensive. She was also outrageously beautiful.
The girl smiled politely and extended her hand to Bette, saying crisply, "Helena. I’m Alice’s flatmate."

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.
