“I gotta say… it cracks me up when you guys do that. Please. At ease. Sit. Relax. And you never need to do that again around me, OK. I understand it is your training, but, it gets me a little weirded out. I don’t make anyone do that.” She paused and continued under her breath. “Well, except for Devaux.” Dana heard it, though, and it went a long way to relax her.
Dana slowly dropped back down to sit back on the ground. She was prepared to jump back up, if needed.
Shane reached over and laid her hand on the other woman’s arm. “Seriously, Dana. Chill. It’s too nice a day to be so stressed out.” Dana smiled back and reached around to take off her backpack and get some water.
“What brings you up here? I can’t remember the last time I ever saw anyone on these trails.”
“I only came to the island a few days ago and I just love it. Where I grew up, the only place I really had to try to get away from it all was to run around the track at school. I love being able to hike and explore. It’s nice to just get away from everything and be able to hear your own thoughts.”
Shane gave her a thoughtful look. “I know exactly what you mean. I grew up here but I travel a lot now. I love coming back and finding a quiet spot and just letting my mind wander.”
Both women sat in comfortable silence for several minutes. Dana reached into her backpack again to pull out the food she grabbed from the mess hall before heading out on her hike. She had a couple sandwiches and some other stuff. Shane perked up quite a bit.
“What’s that?”
Dana blushed a deep red. “It’s…uh…PB&J on white. I hit the mess hall at an odd time and had to take what I could get.”
“I know we haven’t known each other very long and this is going to sound very grade school, but… You want to trade?” Dana saw the honestly in Shane’s eyes and gave a goofy grin. “Depends. What do you have?”
“They changed chefs since last time I was here and I didn’t check what she packed before I left. It is some sort of chicken and sauce thing with rice. I can’t tell you how tired I am of food with sauce on it.” Shane had opened the container and once Dana got a whiff of it, she said “Deal!” They each happily dug into their food. They shared the fruit and chips Dana brought and the pasta salad, bread and cheese that Shane had. As they ate, they talked about the island and various trails. Shane was very knowledgeable and Dana was thrilled to find someone who shared her sense of exploration.

Okay. I so freaking love you and this story. All about the Shana stuff going on with the friend deals and Shane being so protective of Al but loving Dana right off the bat. I mean who won’t love her. Sorry my dorkdum is running around again. I love the whole ‘i only make gabby do it’ that was classically funny. Gabby needs to die. Keep up the great work.
Oh i see how it’s going to be MaGoose! HA HA..look *who finally decided to post* LMAO! Does this mean commenting war? jk I really like the fact that Dana and Shane are talking because i think Shane is going to play a vital role as always with these two. I really would like to see Al let Dana take Gabby, PRETTY PLEASE! LoL I’m lOvInG the direction that you are taking this and i really can barely stand myself in between your postings! Love you Goose, excellent update!
Begining of alshadane,wooohoooo,im doing the dash dance!!! Sammysgril wanted me to say she is not dead and she loved the update!!!!! Thanks for the update and pps
My brain is not functioning too well this afternoon after a night of partying resulting in a hangover that is. The comments above have pretty much covered my reaction to this wonderful chapter. darkhawkdown1 said it, “brilliant”. It was “the beginning of a beautiful friendship” between D & S. And love to join ILUVLEISHA for some “Dash dance” too. I also second what s_bicon said about D being all “goofy and cute.” And “sound very grade school… trade,” lol. MaGoose another superb job of setting up this highly anticipated story. Thank you.
Most excellant chapter MaGoose…Dana stood at attention so fast I thought she would have tripped over her own feet, loved how Shane only makes Gabby stand. The interaction between them was wicked cool, the lunch trading was too cute and could totally picture them doing it…can’t wait for more!!!!
Yey, baby!!!! Magoose is here!!!!! So Dana and Shane met. That’s right, mama Shane hen watches over her chick Alice. :) I’m so glad Shane likes Dana. I mean, of course, they’re like best friends, hee hee. I’m glad that Alice is totally smitten with Dana. Dana needs to take some moves, yeah-…. lol Get rid of Gabby! Did I say I liked Gabby? I don’t like manipulative Gabby, who just takes advantage of Alice :( So sad Shane couldn’t get rid of her. (man I sound so hateful…) Anyway, great post! Now Danish needs to advance, tadah! :) PPS love your work!
Yay! It’s no secret that I love Shane, and yours is cute as all hell. So’s your Dana, but you already knew I thought this. Haha, I have absolutely nothing constructive to say aside from i.heart.this. and you rock quite a bit too.
Great Shane/Dana interaction. I think it is so cute that Alice tried to get Shane to analyze her “date” with Dana. It was just another solid chapter. keep up the good work.
You certainly don’t make me feel bad about my comments. I just get embarrassed about some of them after it’s already posted, I tend to do that some times. . just like what I’m doing now blabbing and stuff… So yeah, uh, if the last chapter was somewhat hard, it really didn’t come off like it. You wrote it like it seemed was the easiest thing to do. The flow was very nice. I love Dana and Shane, always have. hehe I always thought of Dana to be polite and well mannered as well as goofy and cute. In other words, very attractive. loved the Devaux part, would love more to see he suffer *evil laugh* yeah. Thanks for the chapter. Looking forward to more. x
Heya Ma! Good stuff. I enjoy the bond that Shane and Alice share. It’s real, and intense. As for Dana being Alice’s type..OHHHH YEAHHHHH couldn’t agree more. Oh, and I loved the PB&J on white part. I could just see Dana’s initial discomfort there. More soon!
Hello MG… booyaa see that got your own to letter thing going on there… hehe… first thank you not only for the congrats but also your continued support… super duper appreciated… as for the story… I absolutely love Shane here… it is just so perfect how these two migrated towards one another… I love how you have Shane all internal monologue and stuff… it really is how she really seems… always thinking internally waiting for the right moment to speak and have an impact… completely brilliant… awesome… amazing… Keep on Rocking my friend, JC
Well, apparently, I am doing this thing where I comment every other chapter. lol. Sorry I missed the last one. It’s always fun to catch up tho! This was great and I can’t wait to see what happens next! I loved the line where Shane mentions making Gabby salute her. That was too funny. lol. Anyway, keep it up and PPS!!!
Favourite danish story at the moment – please update soon!
