    Posthumous Wisdom (3)

    “Okay” Alice said hesitantly

    “Mom called me yesterday and asked me to come out to the house.  She’s done something terrible Al.  I know she treated you and your friends really badly after Dana died and you’re probably still really mad with her but please just keep in mind through this that since Dana died she’s been totally messed up.  I know it’s no excuse but maybe it explains it a little.  Anyway so when I got there yesterday she gave me this.”

    Howie slowly unzips the bag and lifts out a beautiful wooden box with an envelope taped to the top of it.  Alice is sure her heart stops beating in her chest as she recognises the perfectly formed script on it and read

    For The Gang: Alice, Shane, Tina, Bette, Helena, Carmen, Kit, Jenny and Max  

    (To be opened together)

    “What the fuck? Where did she get this? How long has she had this?” Alice finally managed to ask glaring at Howie feeling anger brimming within her.

    “Alice look I know this looks really bad.  She asked me to tell you she’s really sorry.  Dana left it at the house the last time she visited and asked mom to promise to give it to you immediately if anything happened.  She couldn’t really explain to me yesterday why she didn’t.  She said something about it making things too real.  I don’t know, she wasn’t really making sense but she says she realises now she made a mistake and she should have given this to you at the time and she’s sorry”

    Howie looked up and saw Alice staring back at him emotions fighting with each other for dominance in the stare.  Anger flashed before him, sadness but it ended with shock.  Her mouth hanging open Alice shrugged her shoulders throwing her hands up in a questioning gesture and all she could utter was “Dana, Dane what’s all this?”

    “Look Alice I think I’m going to go.  It was good to see you.  I hope whatever is  in there is good for you.  I’m really sorry you didn’t get it when you should have.   Call me if you need me to do anything ok?”

    With that he got up and let himself out the door leaving a shell-shocked Alice staring at the box wondering what the hell to do next.  Now there really was a ghost in her life right here in her living room.

    1. I missed the beginning of this story and have just caught up with all 3 chapters. To be honest, I cannot see any chemistry between A & Tasha. Having said that I still feel really bad for A because D died and Tasha was at war. After reading this chapter, I am so bummed out about D being gone. I don’t think I will ever recover from her premature death. Therefore I cannot see how A who was so in love with D, could move on that quickly and got so emotionally involved with Tasha. Of course it is rather bias me that IMO no one else could measure up to Dana Fairbanks. wonderingaloud, I still love your story because it is poignant and you allowed A & S to discuss the aftermath. I can’t wait to find out what D had left behind for the gang. pps.

    2. Ok this story totally rocks! You already know i like the Tasha/Alice stuff. I’ve always loved Howie in the show and in FanFic and always hated the way the void that Dana left was ignored on the show. Fantastic story and i’m on the edge of my seat! :D

    3. Okay, so what’s in the box? I hope the shock doesn’t put Alice in emotional limbo again. She was just doing so well, especially with Tasha being in her life. Keep it coming. PPS.
