“I’m thinking more like humiliating…especially when you add the rest…I was making out with Sandy while they watched and, helloooo, Alice has a girlfriend!” She thought about this for a minute then added, “A very attractive girlfriend.” She glumly ran her finger around the rim of the coffee cup. “Not that any of that matters. Alice made it clear to me that she wasn’t interested in anything other than a distant friendship just before I left for Paris.”
Alex covered Lara’s hand with her own and gave it a gentle squeeze. “I’m sorry, Lara. I don’t mean to make light of an uncomfortable situation. But, look at it this way….maybe you and Alice will have a chance to talk about things, now that you’ve had some time and distance. A lot has changed for both of you in the past year and a half…she could be a completely different person now.”
Lara chewed her lip. She knew she was definitely different now compared to when she lived in LA. Unfortunately she didn’t consider that a good thing, as she was much more reluctant to throw her heart into dangerous territory. One of the most endearing things about Alice had been her headlong enthusiasm and boundless loyalty. Lara considered the possibility that might have changed over the past year and a half. “Maybe…but I know one thing that’s definitely the same.”
“What’s that?”
“She still looks great!” And with that, Lara stood, “I’d better get back to the kitchen and earn my keep.”

“Mmphlphfumplmepug.”
“Care to translate that to English?” Shane poked Alice’s shoulder again.
Without opening an eye Alice groaned and grumbled, “Five more minutes.”
Shane waved the cup of coffee she held underneath her friend’s nose and smiled as Alice lifted her head off the pillow.
Without opening her eyes she reached out, “Gimme.”
Shane placed the cup of steaming liquid in Alice’s hands. “Good morning, sunshine.”
Blearily Alice pried one eye open and squinted at Shane. “Fuck you.” Taking a sip of the steaming liquid she let her eye wander around the room. “Where are Bette and Tina?”
Shane laughed. “Quit winking at me, will you? You’re turning me on.” She dodged the pillow that Alice hurled at her and continued, “They’re out on the front porch enjoying their coffee and going on and on about the merits of clean mountain air. I couldn’t take it anymore.” She paused and watched Alice yawn mightily. “So, how are you?”

Awwright, update! Wait, who are you and how do you know my name? haha, just kidding. Good to read from you again! I happened to check here tonight and you happened to have posted so basically, we rule. Naw, all the other commenters/readers do too, I like reading what everyone has to say about this sweet fic. Aw, three weeks? Dang! But thanks for the heads-up, and I hope work is the good kind of busy. OK, love the chappy. Particularly the pronomial ambiguity we find in the last sentences. Does the possessive ‘her’ as in ‘her eyes’ index Papi or Alice? Is the ‘she’ as in ‘she froze’ a cohesive tie to dear Alice, or to that sneaky Papi? Now, the lexical item ‘yo’ leans towards Papi but…I don’t know for sure and I LOVE it. just thought I’d geek out and ask, because it makes for quite the cliff-hanger. Your grits inclusion was well-researched, too. Of course Lara would know all that;) And I can’t get over how clever the setting of adult summer camp is, seeing as how we are in the throes of fun-in-the-sun season. Looking forward to seeing how Lace misunderstandings continue to churn up the tension. Keep up the delicious-ocity and see you next post!
Ah, Lara. How I’ve missed Miss Perkins throughout season 4. I have a feeling the hilarity of Alice and Lara in sumo costumes won’t be all fun and games. Please, please, please post soon.
Hey Gold! Sorry I’m so late reading this chapter, but I just had to post to say I loved it as usual. Alice’s bleary-eyed, cranky wake up was hilarious… I could picture her doing exactly that on the show (I’m loving the Shane-Alice interactions in this story, by the way – you’ve really captured their chemistry). I’m excited to see what happens with the sumo wrestling in the next chapter – anything that involves full body contact (setting aside the layers of foam in the sumo costumes, of course!) between Lara and Alice is definitely ok in my books. :) And, I too enjoyed the grits research – I now have a strange desire to try some! Anyway, thanks for another great update!
Well I guess its true, th more you wait the better it gets. Loved the update but wish you would update more often. I miss Lara terribly so I love your story. Oh and can Sandy just go away please? ^_^
Despite Alex saying they used bird species to group the campers, I *still* read that as “Powerpuff” at first. I guess Alice’s hairdo could classify her as Bubbles… Right, anyway. Sumo wrestling! That is gonna be a hoot. I hope they don’t get too serious (although, I’d *love* to see Bette wallop Jenny). And after that, Al and Lara have a whole week, right? That’s plenty of time. The three weeks between chapters is gonna seem like forever, though. Ah well, I’ll be waiting. Brilliant as usual, Gold. Thanks for the post.
And by “soon” I’m holding you to three weeks. “At least three weeks” isn’t much help – Anything more and I’m going to have major withdrawal issues. But, that’s for another time. Tight now it’s hours later, and this chapter, ‘filler’ as you may call it to be, is still a great read.
I can’t explain how happy I was to see this update. I absolutely looooove this story, you’re doing an excellent job. Can’t wait for the next installment.
hey!! i read this chapter a copple of dasy before, but there was no time, to leave a comment till now. i really enjoyed this chapter. the end is a perfect cliffhanger and make me wish that i could read moore at this moment. so i hope the next two weeks will pass fast ;-)hug, naren
