Time Heals All Wounds, Ch. 8
The ringing of Shane’s phone interrupted their moment, and Shane nearly knocked Carmen into the floor at her attempts to reach the phone on the desk. “It must be Dana!”
Carmen, her arm smacking into the corner of the desk, winced. “If it is, gimme that phone. I want to yell at her for interrupting us.”
“Nope, it’s Tina,” Shane said, flipping it open. She mostly listened, muttering a few noises of agreement.
“Well, what’s up?” Carmen demanded as Shane hung up.
“Kit’s home early. The party’s tonight, instead. And you,” she said, tapping the tip of Carmen’s nose with her finger, “have been volunteered to get Kit away from the house.”
“Me? Why me?” Carmen asked.
Shane grinned. “‘Cause she’s less likely to be suspicious of you.”
“Well, if all of you weren’t so devious” Carmen teased.
Shane rolled her eyes. “Yeah, right. Anyway, just get her out of the house for a bit. Tell her you wanna take her to the record store and get her opinion on an album or something.”
Carmen snorted. “That’s gonna work?”
“It might,” Shane pointed out, shrugging.
Carmen smiled, but looked distracted. “Shane,” she began slowly, running a finger along Shane’s jaw line. “Can I ask you something and not have you freak out or say no?”
“I’m all ears,” Shane replied, angling her face to receive more attention from Carmen’s fingers, but was disappointed when Carmen pulled her hand away and looked at her seriously.
“Shane, this may be weird for you, and I’m not sure how to say it, so I’m just gonna come out and say it. Will you meet my parents?” Carmen asked, bracing herself for the no she was bound to receive.
She was surprised when Shane didn’t immediately reply. Instead, Shane stared into Carmen’s dark eyes searchingly, her expression thoughtful. “This is important to you, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” Carmen replied, biting her lip.
“I could swing that,” Shane said slowly. “When?”
“I was thinking dinner tomorrow night at their house. There is a catch,” Carmen admitted, taking Shane’s hand in hers.
Shane remained silent, eyeing her warily.
“I’m not out to my parents. Not yet. But I want you to help me do it. They know I’m with you, and they’ve asked about you, but all they know is your name. And, well, consideringthat could go either way,” Carmen said.

why Alice is acting cold like this?..im sl glad Bette have a jog again and in a place she likes and without that pig and it seems Tina is a little better..cant wait for more post soon thanks :o)
i thought alice wanted dana to ask her to stay–did you get a new alice?
Damn it Alice!!! hahah that was a great chapter, im glas that things are looking up for tina and bette, even kit. I hope all goes well for Carmen and Shane, Keep up the great work and post soon!!
ehh…why is alice actin like she that she needs to stop trippin i thought she wanted dana to come after her….she is pure whackness.
Oh my! I can’t believe Alice did that. Poor Dana.
I love this fic like I love all of your stories but like most everyone else I’m a tad confused on Alice’s mindset. So far everything has been usually a POV internal dialogue on Dana so I’m not quite sure what’s going on in Alice’s head. In the previous chapter she was talking about all she wanted was for Dana to tell her not to go and here is Dana showing, a little late, to basically say that and she gets enraged. I do see how it would be grating to be told someone is there to “make you” do something but I’m still perplexed about her reaction. Nonetheless, I’m sure you have a reason for Alice acting this way and I’m sure you will explain it wonderfully through her thoughts as you’ve done thus far with all of the characters. But dude, seriously, if Alice wants back with Dana after this she is the one who should do the begging. And most anyone who reads my fics knows how much I love Alice. I almost always take her side. But not this time, bad Alice, no biscuit! lol. Anyway… to end my mindless prattling feedback here’s my usual end line: U rite gr8!!! Post more!!!!
that was so sad. i was NOT expecting alice to react like that 1 bit. you really through me off there. i think it will be good though, its always nice to build it up before they make their ultimate decision. i really enjoy this fic. keep up the good work. :)
Like everyone else, I’m a tad confused about Alice’s reaction but I have no doubt you have your explaination for it. Great job with this fic, it kept me on the end of my seat.
very very bad alice there was no need for that but what will happen next please post soon I can’t wait to see what happens with every one I love it
Drama for Alice and Dana. Glad Peggy kick Frankling’s ass out of the CAC and let Bette in that chair of the CAC. Ok what a surprise they have for Kit. Post soon!
Wait for the next chapter. It’s all part of the plan. Trust me on this. :)
I’m a tad confused isnt this what Alice wanted some big chivalrious act on the part of Dana to prove how much she loves her and wants her in her life.
Great chapter, really looking forward to your next. It is nice also to see that KIt is having the start maybe of a new relationship. Please post asap.

Poor Dana. I have no idea how you can make this up, but I can’t wait to see your plan. I love your Sharmen. Post soon =)
Wow, I think I’m as confused as the other. I have faith that you’ll make sense out of this with the next chapter. The story’s great. Can’t wait till you post an update!!!
I really love Alice, but right now I’m a little confuse, WTF Alice! lol, she doesn’t even want to talk O_o . I wanna watch Dana doing something like this in the show, fighting for Al.
