    Author Notes:

    An old friend shows up at The Planet; Ellie reveals a secret to Alice; and Alice forgets to do something.

    She wiped her mouth on a towel and stepped into her bedroom.  Stripping off her clothes as she crossed the room to her bureau, she grabbed a pair of shorts and a white tank top from the drawer and threw them on.  She lay down on her bed and stared at the ceiling, trying to keep her tumultuous thoughts under control so that she could coax herself into sleep.

    Pushing her fears about her chemo treatment aside, she found her thoughts shifting toward her conversation with Lara outside her apartment.  She knew she had hurt Lara by revealing her feelings for Alice, but she didn’t regret being honest with her.  Although things were different now between them, Dana was more certain than ever that they would be able to find a way to be friends again. 

    There was no doubt in Dana’s mind that she had loved Lara while they were together, but the past few weeks with Alice had proven to Dana that her feelings for Alice went so much deeper than anything she’d ever experienced with anyone else.  The frightening intensity of those feelings was part of what had scared her away from Alice to begin with; she had been terrified that if she opened herself up fully to her emotions, she could wind up losing the most important person in her life. 

    Dana released a sudden groan of frustration as she considered her actions at the time. Now more than ever she understood why she had rejected Alice at the first sign of problems between them; after all, the one thing the cancer diagnosis had given her over the past few weeks was perspective on her mistakes.  She could see now that she had created a self-fulfilling prophesy: in order to prevent herself from losing Alice, she had closed herself off to her feelings; and, in the process, she had come very close to losing Alice forever.

    But now, she suddenly felt willing to open herself up to the feelings for Alice that had lain dormant in her heart for months; and, rather than being terrified by them, she found herself liberated by them.  Finally, she could admit to herself that she loved Alice without hesitation or doubt; the problem now was finding the courage to admit those feelings to Alice.

    3. Well, you were right…that was pretty sappy, but wonderfully so. I actually said “awww” out loud there at the end. Ellie and Lara would totally be cute…is it weird that I can picture them together in my head, having no idea what Ellie looks like? Oh well. This was fantastic, as they always are.

    4. what a nice surprise to find such a quick update this evening! And, it’s totally sweet that you give me credit for spurring you to bring a sister into the mix. (though I have to say you’ve one upped me with the whole notion of Lara still being with a Pieszecki—just thank you for not bringing Lenore into the picture! Again, I loved the way you capture the inner turmoil of all the characters. And the way they work through it in relationship to the other characters (not only Alice and Dana, but also the whole gang with Lara, and Ellie with Alice and Lara with Dana and…well, you get the picture….I’m totally loving where this story is going!) I do think you’ve managed to nail the ‘living’ with cancer issue…as opposed to ‘dying’ with cancer, and I for one think that’s fantastic. Good luck with real life, and I’ll be waiting patiently for your return! :)

    5. so cute. i knew the ellie and lara thing was coming. though i didn’t know ellie was completely gay. go figure, right? well super update. thanks for being so quick. love it.

    6. wow!!! my god you have no idea how much i enjoy reading your story its written so well and danish is so cute in this im glad dana will not be dying can’t wait for the next one keep up the good work :)

    7. I’ve been out of town so was so glad to catch up on your updates-wow, this chapter really moved things along. I heart this fic and how you are shaping things. The “debriefing” was totally sisterly–nice touch. And thank you for keeping my girl Lara in the mix, yay! Can’t wait to see what is in store for her (but I like what you’re getting at…) and Danish too. Please post soon, I’ll be leaping with joy!
