“We’re going to go into business together,” Jenny said, laughing when Shane made a grimacing face in response.
“Dana, good to see you girl!” Kit called out from behind the counter. “What can I get you?”
“Um, tea would be great, Kit,” Dana responded, sitting down at the table.
“Sorry we’re late!” Tina called out, as she and Helena came into the café and made their way toward Dana. “We got caught up at the studio,” she explained as she leaned down to give Dana a hug.
“It’s good to see you up and about again,” Helena said, smiling brightly at Dana as she took a seat beside Alice.
As everyone sat in their customary positions around the table, Dana grinned contentedly. It felt almost surreal to be sitting with all of her friends again, just as she had only a couple weeks earlier. She could almost forget the traumatic events that had happened in the meantime. Almost.
“So, what’s new?” Dana asked, looking around the table expectantly.
“Well, Angelica’s teething and keeping her mommies up all night,” Tina said, exchanging an understanding look with Bette.
“Yes, and that’s making it very difficult for Mamma B to prepare for her interview for the Dean of Arts position at the University of California,” Bette said, giving Angelica a playful smile, which drew a soft cooing response from the toddler.
“Dean of Arts?” Alice asked in surprise. “That’s huge, Bette!”
“Well, we’ll see how the interview goes,” Bette answered. “I’ve heard Dean Kroll is a hard nut to crack.”
“I’m sure you’ll do great, babe,” Tina said, giving her a reassuring kiss on the cheek.
“And, Jenny’s book is due to hit the press in a few weeks,” Shane said.
“Wow, that’s great,” Dana said. “So, you’ll be getting reviewed by all the critics pretty soon?”
“Yeah, but I’m not too worried about that,” Jenny said assuredly. “I’ve got thick skin. If they don’t like the book, they can go fuck themselves.”
“Ok then,” Dana said with a laugh.
“Your tea, m’dear,” Kit said, placing a mug in front of Dana and taking a seat at the table.
“Thanks, Kit. So, how are things at The Planet?” Dana asked.
“Pretty good,” Kit answered. “I’ve got a couple of brand-spankin’ new speakers for the Tegan and Sara concert next week, which I assume y’all are coming to?” Everyone around the table murmured their agreement before Kit continued. “The only problem is I’m having the worst luck finding anyone to take over the kitchen. Everyone who applies is either too inexperienced or too dumb to know how to make a decent sandwich.”

A&D think too much, they need to as Shane put it get over thier stubborness…This is good…PPS
this was such a could chapter we had Dana and Alice kissing and then we had drama.
These two need their heads knocking together – everyone knows they belong together except themselves. PPS
Yay for updates! I was wondering whether/hoping that Miss Lara would come into the picture somehow-you know how I ‘heart’ her as a character, with Dana OR with Alice, so the interaction with her and Danish will take some getting used to for me, even though I know everyone and their dog loves Danish;) So, I was glad to see how you’re weaving Lara in. I feel so bad for her, really. But I like how you have Dana remaining steadfast about expectations–very believable. (Hmmm, Lara just needs to have her world rocked by someone else, no?) All said, I look forward to seeing how you continue developing the story and I’m digging the way you are unravelling Danish. It’s such a refreshing change to the end of S3/all of S4, haha. Aww, you’re sweet, I’m doing well, and some day somewhere down the long road I may get enough time and confidence to write something on my own, we’ll see…you and Gold are tough acts to follow;) Looking forward to the next update!
Love this story. Always wished someone would write a storyline picking up from S3 (minus the dana-dying, of course). Thank you for doing it justice. PPS!!
argh – communication has always been such a problem with these two and you obviously captured that perfectly. but what a great chapter. i like the jenny with a thick skin comment. oh how true! post soon.
This 3rd chapter was a great way to spend part of my lunch hour! Now you’ve got the right mix going….nothing like a little added drama with Lara’s return…I was wondering if she’d some into the picture at some point. I loved that Dana wanted a danish by the way! You’re very good at building the tension between two characters by the way- I was very sad when the kissing scene come to an end. Also, had to laugh aloud when Jenny mentioned she had thick skin and could handle negative reviews! Good stuff again, blue! have a good weekend…
