You (Part the Eighth)
She reached out and stroked Dana’s face with the back of her hand, moving a stray lock of hair out of her eyes and smiling as Dana closed her eyes and sighed at the touch. Alice could see the effort she was putting into trying to relax. “I brought Anchorman, and the Best of Will Ferrell,” she said. “I mean, they say laughter’s the best medicine, right? And I know you’re obsessed with Will Ferrell, although you always try to deny it. I remember how excited you got when we used to watch Saturday Night Live and they’d do the Jeopardy! sketches.”
“Your mother, Trebek,” Dana mumbled with some serious effort in a fairly decent imitation of Darrel Hammond’s Sean Connery, which made Alice laugh and lean in to kiss her cheek.
“Damn right,” she said, noticing that Dana was having trouble keeping her eyes open. “I’ll ask the nurse to put this in for you, okay? I promised Uta I’d be there to listen to her lecture over at Loyola this morning, so I’m gonna get going. I’ll send Lara back in before I leave. You just try to get some rest, and be nice to her, okay? Or at least try to be.” Dana just looked at her and nodded sadly. “Hey, it’s gonna be okay, remember? I won’t let it be anything else.” She checked her watch and winced. “Gah, why am I always running late? I’d really better go, Dana. I’ll talk to you soon, okay?” She kissed Dana’s cheek again, and was out the door before she heard Dana say “I love you.”
**********
Uta was weird, there was no denying that…but Alice got the feeling she was probably just as weird, if not more so. For some reason, she found herself telling Uta all about Foamcore Dana’s recent departure, and the fact that she’d had a shrine. Uta turned out to be pretty good-natured about it, though, and she was perceptive enough to comment that Alice was still in love with Dana, although of course Alice tried to deny that. Not very convincingly, though.
She did think it was a little odd that Uta basically told her she had to recover Foamcore Dana in order to get over Non-Foamcore Dana, but then again, Uta was a vampire so she supposed she shouldn’t be too surprised at the oddity. It didn’t even surprise her too much when Uta basically dumped her on the street, telling her to call after she’d taken care of Dana. Which was probably a good thing, since it looked like Dana was going to be needing a lot more help as time went on. So, she just shrugged and decided to head home, with the seedling of a plan starting to take shape. She really did need to find Foamcore Dana for it to work, though.

Great job, the connection is real! Gives me hope for happy endings.
WOW muted im so very proud of you at this moment! I know that had to be tough to write,but you did it and it was the best update! Im sorry i havent been around ,wishing i was there for you to write this chapter.HUGS and just remember its almost 6 months!! Love ya!!! PPS
Wow Temp this was really really good and im not just saying that i truly mean it.I know what its like to write your own experiences in your story its kinda like an outlet and I know it mustve really been hard for you to write this, especially since youve lived through it. I love the way you ended this chapter. We all have that friend like shane that seems to always be right when you dont want them to be LOL
Wow! This is beautifully written. I loved it. Alice verbiage always make me smile. More Please.
Phenomenal update. It broke my heart, and gave me hope all at the same time. You did a wonderful job, and I really enjoyed reading it. I can only imagine how difficult this was to write, with having your own experiences with cancer. For that I applaude you. Thank you very much for sharing. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. Sorry, but I don’t have any good ideas about the Foamcore Dana. Although, I always did have this picture of Alice playing “dress up” with Foamcore Dana. You know…Dana’s pants and shirt? That way it not only looked like Dana, but smelled like her too. Weird right? Wait a sec…that didn’t actually happen right? I seem to have a whole bunch of season 3 memory lapses. Oh well. :) Loved it.
This update brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely loved it! It’s all in the small gestures that emphasis the strong bong between these women (and ofcourse especially Dana and Alice). I was glad to see that Alice replaced Bette. And Alice comforting Dana at any time…they’re just meant to be. *sigh* And I also loved the fact that they went looking for Dana after Carmen’s remark. The original storyline will only fade more to the background from now on. And don’t be scared, you will do just fine on your own. You already did a superb job with this one!
I am totally loving this story!!!
So sweet!! i hope you have a happy ending tho..my hopes are so high lol:)

Can’t wait to see what happens next. gotta love the love…:)
