Alice put the bowl that used to contain breakfast in the sink and began to wash it. Dana ran over and tried to pry the bowl from her hands. “No more of that! Al as much as I would like you to be my personal slave your not, so put the bowl down and back away from the sink” Alice looked at Dana and very dramatically put the bowl down. Dana giggled and walked over to one of her large glass windows. “It’s really coming down…” The weather was terrible, but she had a feeling that spending the day with Alice however would be the total opposite. Alice grabbed the bottle of pills off the counter and shook it. Dana winced at the sound. “Come on Dane no big deal just straight down the hatch.” Dana lied through her teeth “Alice I am fine, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” She didn’t want to spend the day drugged up with Alice having to run around after her. “Dane I know your lying to me… If that happened to me I can guarantee that I definitely would be in bed right now sobbing uncontrollably telling you to shoot me in the head. Dana laughed, it hurt but she couldn’t help it. She knew that what Alice said was true. “Yeh I know except you would be on the couch, I couldn’t imagine you missing out on any of your TV shows.” Alice shook her head. “No no no you have got it all wrong, I would call you and make you haul my television into my bedroom for me.” Dana had to think. That sounded awfully familiar. Then it hit her “Alice I have already done that for you! Remember when you got that evil flu bug and you were locked in your bedroom for a week? You called me the moment you got back from the doctors and told me to come over. I carried the television into your room then I had to re-arrange your furniture so it would be easier for you to watch… then you got better and I got sick.” Alice was pouring a glass of water for Dana and was remembering that moment. Dana was so sympathetic and thoughtful she did everything that she had asked Dana to do and she did it with a smile, which was not very easy considering the mood Alice was in most of the days she was bed ridden. When Dana got sick with the same bug a week after Alice did Alice was called out of town for an exclusive story with a man who had grown a tomato the size of his head. She wasn’t there for Dana at a time when she knew she should have been. “I never really thanked you for that.” Alice handed a pill and the glass of water to Dana. “Alice just being here right now means more to me then you will ever know” Dana put the pill in her mouth, took a sip of the water and swallowed it. “All done” Dana brushed past Alice and put the glass in the sink and rubbed her hands together “ Now Miss Pieszecki its time for me to kick your ass at tennis” Alice looked at Dana puzzled “Dane did those pills kick in already? You know you cant play tennis at the moment, remember?” Alice pointed to the blatantly obvious plastic mask on Dana’s face “no silly follow me.”
