Shane grinned. “Yeah, Alice….breakfast. Get dressed, you’ve got places to go and people to see,” she winked.

From the sanctuary of her kitchen, Lara could hear the gentle swell of morning conversation as the campers began to stream in and take their seats. She and her staff of three dished up pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits and stone ground grits on family style platters and began to supervise the wait staff in distributing the food to the tables. As she sneaked a peak into the dining hall she noticed that the inhabitants of Cabin 8 had just seated themselves. Alice had her hair pulled back in twin braids and looked adorable in jeans with a retro baseball jersey.
“She’s the blonde at the end, right?” Alex whispered, at Lara’s elbow.
Lara jumped and glared at Alex, “For God’s sake, could you not sneak up on me like that?”
Alex, nonplussed, continued to peer out the kitchen door. “She’s looking this way. I think she’s looking for you.” She started to wave, and then yelped as Lara yanked her back into the kitchen. “Oh, slick Perkins. That wasn’t obvious at all.”
Lara smoothed her hair nervously. “How do I look?”
Alex smiled. “As cute as ever. Now go out and make the rounds.”

Helena skeptically prodded the white porridge. “What exactly are grits?”
The question hung in the air as everyone contemplated the steaming mass on the platter.
“Do you put sugar in them, like oatmeal?” Jenny wondered aloud.
“Actually, cheese and butter makes them absolutely sinful,” Lara suggested as she approached the table. “It’s a wonderfully versatile vegetable; you’ll likely see it later this week as parmesan encrusted grit cake with rainbow trout.” She smiled as the gang welcomed her to their table, and took the open seat beside Tina.
“It still sounds disgusting though, I mean, why name a dish after dirt?” Alice reasoned after smiling shyly at Lara.
“Nobody really knows for certain, but I think it’s actually a descriptive term, related to the hard bran that remains with the corn kernels after they’re ground into coarse bits,” Lara replied earnestly.
“Uh, yeah. Actually, that was a rhetorical question there Lara,” Alice teased. “You’re such a food geek.”

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
