You (Part the Sixty-Eighth)
“Hey Al, come here! That guy from the secret Hollywood party’s on the news!” Dana yelled in the general direction of the bedroom. There was a sleepy grumble in response, but before too long Alice shuffled into the living room in her slippers.
“Why are you up so early?” she asked Dana through a yawn.
“I told you before we went to sleep, remember?” Dana asked, but Alice just shook her head. She’d been tired last night from both the two therapy sessions and the work at KCRW. “Shane’s picking me up and we’re gonna get coffee so we can get ready for the party,” Dana explained again.
“Oh. Right,” Alice replied sleepily. “What’s going on with the basketball guy?”
“I don’t know, it’s from last night’s thing on ESPN, but they’re replaying it now. I DVR’d it,” Dana said. She hated to admit it, but she’d stopped paying attention to the TV since she’d called to Alice. She rewound to the point when he’d first appeared onscreen, and sat in shocked silence while he made himself into both a homophobe and a hypocrite.
“What a fucker!” Alice exclaimed as soon as the shock wore off. “Who the hell does he think he is?”
“I don’t know, but that really pisses me off,” Dana muttered. “I’d out him myself if I thought it would do any good.” She took a quick look at Alice. “Don’t even think about it.”
“I wasn’t going to do anything!” Alice protested. “I’m just really upset that he can get away with that kinda thing. It’s one thing to keep your life private, but it’s totally different when you’re spreading hate like that.”
“I know. But getting yourself sued won’t do much. Sometimes you just have to trust in karma,” Dana replied. She’d have elaborated, but the buzzer rang before she got the chance. “Okay, so I’ll see you over there in awhile?”
“Yeah, I’ll head that way as soon as I get ready. Should I go to the store for anything?”
Dana turned around at the door and shrugged, then realized Alice couldn’t see her and ran back to the living room. “Nah, not that I can think of right now. We can always call you if we think of something, but I think Jenny’s assistant is supposed to be getting supplies,” she said, giving Alice a kiss before she turned back toward the door.

So excited to see an update on this story! I know it must be incredibly difficult to stick to canon events while integrating Dana. You are doing it superbly. Love how you handled the whole basketball guy thing. He got what was coming to him without Alice being involved. I am glad she and Dana will discuss it on The Chart. Should be interesting. The ShaDane interaction was great. I was giggling through the whole “Blonde Whore” scene. Too funny. I could see Dana picking up on how odd Adele was. Can’t wait for the party — should be excellent. Thanks so much for continuing this great story, MT!!
You’re like a ninja, sneaking up like that.” I loved that line. It was great. I loved the whole chapter. Keep it up
Oh “My Lover Cindi” LMAO. MT, excellent post as always. Without a question, you did great putting D in Season 5. Happy to see A & D worked things out. I am also glad that the athlete was ousted by some other guy. What a twist! Now Ruth asked D to talk about it? Nicely done. I just hope that D would not get too stoned from the pot brownies and might affect her interview next day. lol. Can’t wait to read about the party. I also want to mention that I was also skeptical about Adele from day one. She was just creepy. THANK YOU very much MT.
Yay! Cool part, leading up to the best of season 5 and the episode that i really missed dana in when it aired so looking forward to the next on when you’ve got a chance :D
more more more!! great job :)
I’m caught up! I still heart this story and I still heart its author very much. Seems like Alice still has many inner demons to exorcise before she can be happy with Dana. I loved your take on the brownie preparation and can’t wait to read what happens. I’ll always be reading and supporting! xx
