“Dana?”

Dana lifted up her head and smiled at Alice.

“Been chatting a lot recently?”

“Hmm yeah.” Alice walked to the desk and closed the lid.

“Sorry.” Dana said.

“Nah it’s not secretive or anything. It’s just a normal chat.”

“I see.” Dana walked towards the kitchen and came out holding a tray consisted of coffees and some Danishes. She put the tray onto the coffee table and motioned Alice to join her.

“Dana you still haven’t answered my question. Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?”

“Well just thought I would use some time to catch up with my best friend. You look tired Al. You chatted the whole night?”

Gosh how did she know, Alice thought.

“Hey you are no any better than me you look tired too.” She protested.

“I have just come back from a tournament Al.” Dana reasoned.

“So what about that cyber friend of yours?” She asked.

“Hmm great.” Alice answered hesitatingly.

“You met her already? I mean is a her right?”

“No I have not met her.”

“Are you happy chatting with her?”

“Yes.” Alice smiled.

“Then I think you should meet her.” Dana said. Alice was surprised.

“No I don’t think I am ready.”

“You are ready Al.”

“Dana you didn’t come all the way here and tell me I should meet….” Dana closed Alice’s mouth with her hand.

“Don’t argue with my superior wisdom Al. You really should meet her. Think about it. By the way you are definitely not the only one in the whole universe who thinks that life is sucks.” Dana removed her hand and walked out from the apartment.

Alice was stoned at her seat. Something Dana said earlier, it was so familiar. Like what she said to some one before, but to whom? She cracked her head. Then she came to realization. Shit! I mentioned this to Huge goof before, but how did Dana know? Maybe she….oh fuck!

Witty n cute: Hey you online at last. I was waiting for you.

Huge goof:  You were waiting for me? Why?

Alice’s fingers were trembling as she typed the next sentence.

Witty n cute: Hmm, do you think it’s possible for us to meet?

Huge goof:  Why all of a sudden?
