Alice calmly looked away as she buckled her seat belt. “Hop in or I’m leaving you behind. And I already told you I’d tell you who my mystery person was as soon as you proposed to Tina.”
“But -”
“No buts Bette. I won’t talk.” Alice slipped her sunglasses on and focused on the road.
“Your avoidance only makes it clearer.”
“However you interpret my silence is fine, but I will not talk.”
“Fine. Enjoy your date tonight. Send Dana my regards.” Bette smirked, irritated Alice wouldn’t confide in her and annoyed that she didn’t know the truth firsthand from Alice.
“Will do. And Bette?” Alice pulled down her shades. “Don’t make me keep this secret for too long.”

Dakota yawned and Alice laughed. She threw her a blanket and tossed a pillow over.
“I didn’t realize my stories were so boring!”
“Who wouldn’t be yawning at three thirty in the morning?” Dakota laid down on the couch.
“Good night Kody.” Alice switched off the lights not giving Dakota the option of leaving.
The next morning Dakota awoke with a start as Alice was bent over the couch, poking her in the nose. “Rise and shine.”
“Why are you waking me at this ungodly hour?”
“Because it’s Saturday and do you know what that means?”
“It means I should be sleeping in?”
“Wrong. Breakfast at the coffee shop with Dana and your parents. As always. Now get your ***** up and get ready. Fifteen minutes.”
“You’re joking, right? I’m not going this morning. I have too much to do.” Dakota protested. “Will Dana even be there? I thought she was out of town?”
“She’ll be there, don’t worry and so will you.” Alice pulled her up.
After many argumentative words back and forth, Alice finally dragged Dakota out.
“Morning sunshine. How on earth did Alice get you out here this morning?” Bette asked as she kissed Dakota’s cheek.
“I had a sleep over last night.” Alice grinned.
Bette and Tina both looked shocked and curious. “A sleep over?” Tina asked.
“We stayed up all night telling stories.” Alice said. “Just like old times.”
“I heard some really good ones, too.” Dakota grinned wickedly at her mothers as she took a few sips of coffee.
Bette scowled. “Do I even want to know?”
“Nothing too bad. Just something about how much of a sucker you were for love and how nervous you were and how you turned down ***** with mom to show her how much you loved her.”
Tina’s jaw dropped and she turned to Alice. “Why are you telling my daughter these stories? *****? Really Alice?”
“She asked.” Alice threw her hands in the air.
“It wasn’t too bad.” Dakota grinned. “I wanted some juicy details and I got them. And I learned that mama sure wasn’t as smooth as she lets on.”
“Hey!” Bette playfully slapped her hand. “You start finding out my secrets and I’m not sure if you’ll be allowed to have breakfast any more with us.”
“Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be routine.”
“It sure has been lately.” Tina said. “You’ve joined us a lot lately. It’s nice we always end up back here.”
Dakota looked around the table warmly. “You know what… it is nice. As long as I hear more stories, I’ll stick around.”
“There’s always room at the table.” Alice looked at her and winked.

Far….wonderful story. Glad you didn’t change it!
This was perfect, no re-write needed.. loved it as usual
haha.. awsome.
So glad you didn’t chuck the chapter. Loved it. Very well written as always.
What’s to rewrite. Its great, this story just keeps getting better. I love hearing the stories via Alice who definitly has all the juice. The way she talks to Dakota is so cute, and Dakota’s reactions are typical of any child when hearing things about there parents. Its also nice for us, cos even though we know the stories, we never get tired of them. Keep it up, and I can’t wait for the party and Dakota’s gift.
I too am glad you didn’t re-write it..It was great I love this story please continue and keep us all at the table..Wouldn’t life be great if we all could have a planet to go to every week…Post soon.
I’m glad you didn’t rewrite it – I like it a lot. Your chapters are always wonderfully written – even if you don’t believe so.
Thanks for taking us on this journey!
Hey fareast that’s was so Wonderful Story I Still Love it Keep going Post soon Thanks.
i love Dakota she is a great kid. great chapter
even though you doubted to post this one i am very pleased you did, because it shows so much the sweetness and humour of your characters. thanx.
what part of this needed rewriting??? So glad you posted it is perfect just the way it is…I’ll take more if you have it!!!
Fareast,
Fave line this time was “As long as I hear more stories, I’ll stick around.” Because that is exactly how I feel about this story. As long as you care to write it I will be here patiently waiting to consume it.
This latest incarnation of relating the events of their lives to Kody is a masterstroke and displays your fabulous talent and fantastic skills as an author.
Your self criticism is not warranted as I loved this chapter as much as any other. The stories continued your excellent standards and expressed you eloquence as always.
We are our own worst critics although please take it as heartfelt when I describe how much I truly enjoyed this installment.
You have crafted a rich and explicit universe where memory and recollection are the messengers for love, understanding, knowledge, hilarity, pathos and human emotions. Only by looking into the past can we change and improve the future.
Awaiting the subsequent exploit/escapade.
Your Loyal Fan.
why on earth would you want to rewrite something, so fun and heartfelt. please keep this up. its great.
You weren’t going to post this? Sacre bleu! Okay, I know what you mean, lol. But I’m glad you posted this. Dakota is such a great character, and you’ve interwoven her so skillfully with the rest of the characters. Love it.
Great chapter, very cute story just love it.
Absolutely perfect as it is!
I loved the bouncing back and forth between story telling and hanging out. Nice balance. They have such an easy going and casual relationship together – Alice is good for Dakota.
I think Dakota will eventually begin to see what she has in common with her parents and slowly begin to close the distance that she has created between them. I can see Dakota becoming a regular Saturday morning visitor.
Wonderful chapter.
i liked it just the way it was- perfection!
That wasAWESOME. No rewrite needed. This is such a great story. I can’t wait for the party. That could be a wholenew story.
aww so sweet is good to see Dakota more kind and gentle with her moms..great chapter as always thanks
