“I wasn’t hiding it; I going to tell you,” Dana replied apologetically. “I was just waiting for the right time. And then, after what happened between us last night, I didn’t want to ruin the moment by telling you about this. I’m sorry; I didn’t mean for it to come out this way. But, that doesn’t change the fact that nothing is ever going to happen between Lara and I again.”
“But, what happens when Lara comes back and starts wanting to see you again?” Alice asked, her voice breaking as all the hurt feelings she still harboured over their break-up months before came spilling out. “She’ll come back, and you’ll start wanting to go out to all your fancy restaurants together, to try out new foods or whatever it is you two did during the last few weeks of our relationship. How long will it take before you start feeling like you need ‘closure’ again, Dana?” Alice cursed inwardly as she felt hot tears spilling down her face.
“Al, I’m so sorry I did that to you,” Dana said sincerely. Wanting to connect to her in some way, she reached out to grab Alice’s hand, but was hurt when Alice rebuffed her by turning away to put her keys in her car door.
After fumbling to get the door open, she sighed and turned back to face Dana. “Look, I’m sorry, ok?” she said, trying to keep her emotions under control. “I have no right to be upset. We’re not together anymore, and you have every right to talk to Lara or whoever else. I guess it just bothered me because of everything that’s happened lately between us, especially last night.” She sighed bitterly as she stared at the ground between them. “But, I probably just read too much into all that.”
“No, Al, you didn’t. What happened last night–” Dana started.
“It’s ok, Dana, really,” Alice interrupted. “We’re just friends after all, and we should be free to date whoever we want without the other person getting all crazy about it.”
Dana stood silently for a moment, letting Alice’s words sink in. “Is that what you want?” she asked finally.
“I think that’s probably the best thing for both of us,” Alice replied, abruptly turning to get in her car. “Look, I really should get to work. I’ll see you later, ok?”
“Ok,” Dana replied, suddenly feeling speechless. Hearing Alice suggest that they were only friends made her feel like the wind had been knocked out of her. She stood silently while Alice started her car and sped out of the parking lot. Then, feeling confused and upset, she slowly turned and walked back inside The Planet.

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…
