Survival: Chapter 6
“Hey, Al, you ok?” Shane asked, squeezing through the crowd to talk to Alice as another song finished and the crowd began cheering.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Alice responded unconvincingly.
“Don’t worry,” Shane said, yelling over the din of the crowd. “Dana’s not going to do anything stupid.”
“I know,” Alice replied. “It’s just weird seeing them together again, you know?”
“They aren’t ‘together,’ Al,” Ellie corrected. “Didn’t they break up?”
“Yeah,” Alice answered, forcing herself to shift her gaze away from the two women and toward the stage.
“So, Lara’s still single?” Ellie asked loudly as another song began playing and the crowd erupted in a roar of approval.
“Why does that matter?” Alice replied, giving Ellie a curious glance.
“No reason,” Ellie answered, looking down as her face suddenly turned crimson. “It’s just that if she was taken, there would be less reason for her to move in on your turf, right?”
“I guess,” Alice replied uncertainly. “Look, let’s stop talking about her and just watch the show, ok?”
“Alright,” Shane replied, giving Alice an uneasy look before turning back to the stage as the crowd cheered again.

After the show, the gang gathered at the back of The Planet to split up into carloads to take everyone home.
“Ok, so Shane, Carmen, Jenny, and Tina will come with me,” Bette said, immediately taking charge of the arrangements.
“I can take a few people,” Alice said, glancing at Dana. “Do you need a lift, Lara?” she asked, trying desperately to adopt a friendly tone.
“No thanks; I have a car,” Lara answered. She turned to Dana. “Actually, I was hoping to give you a lift. It would be nice to catch up without having to yell over the music.”
Dana glanced at Alice and cringed inwardly as she saw the conflicting emotions playing across her face when she heard Lara’s suggestion. “Um, actually, I think Alice was going to drive me,” Dana explained, stepping closer to Alice.
“No, that’s ok, Dana,” Alice heard herself interject, despite her instincts. “You two should catch up.”
“Are you sure?” Dana asked uncertainly.
“Yes, of course I’m sure,” Alice replied, laughing forcefully.
Hearing the uneasiness of Alice’s tone, Dana quickly grabbed her hand to pull her aside, out of earshot of the rest of the group.

Great update – please try and get your real life in order quickly and continue with this great story.
Thanks for the awsome update!!! PMS!!!
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.
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! :)
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.

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!
