“Shit!” she said, a little more loudly than intended. Hoping she hadn’t bothered Lara, who was going into the Planet for setup early the next morning, she tiptoed into the bedroom, grabbed her cell phone and went outside to sit on the stoop.
It was 11:30. Late, but not too late, she decided, and hit the first number on her speed dial. Alice answered after a few rings, sounding breathless, and Dana couldn’t help feeling a little panicked. Maybe Alice was moving on a little faster than she’d given her credit for. It was her birthday, after all…
“Shut the fuck up, Helena! There’s no way that Reese Witherspoon can possibly be considered hot. She bears more than a passing resemblance to a baboon,” Alice said through her laughter. She and Helena were watching Legally Blonde for the second time that night, acting like a couple of teenagers and loving every minute of it. “Hey Dana, you have to back me up on this. Does Reese Witherspoon look baboon-ish to you? Helena’s delusional from all the pizza we had or something, and she’s insisting that Reese is attractive. What do you think?”
What Dana thought was that she was insanely jealous of the fact that Helena had replaced her as Alice’s best friend, and that it was killing her to hear Al so happy with anyone but herself. She hated that she felt like that, but she couldn’t exactly help it. “Yeah, she’s definitely baboon like, Al.”
“Thank you! Finally, someone with some sense. I keep trying to tell Helena this, but she keeps saying I’m crazy. I beg to differ, I think that anyone that finds a baboon sexy has to be the crazy one.”
“Yeah, I’d say so. I was just calling to say happy birthday, Al. I’m sorry I didn’t call sooner…” Dana trailed off, wanting more than anything to tell Alice about the appointment she had to make the next day. But hearing Alice laugh like this was too great to stop, so she let it go.
“Hey, it’s fine. Helena’s been taking care of me.” Alice hadn’t meant it to come out that way, and she could have sworn she heard Dana wince. “Thanks, though. It means a lot to me that you remembered.”
“Well, you’re my best friend, it’s not like I’d forget,” Dana whispered. She was suddenly hit with a wave of sadness. Alice sounded like her old self…the Alice that Dana had to admit she still loved more than life. She wanted to tell her that more than anything, but she knew that jeopardizing the fragile progress Alice had made would be the most selfish thing she could possibly do. So she brightened her voice and said, “I’m glad you’re having a good birthday. I’ll let you go, I’m gonna try to get up early tomorrow. Have fun with Helena, okay? Goodnight, Al.” She hung up before Alice could respond, or hear her cry.
Puzzled, Alice stared at her phone for a minute. She knew something was wrong…but she figured that Dana didn’t want her to know. It wasn’t like they were that close anymore, and although they were trying to be friends again, Alice didn’t feel comfortable calling her and demanding to know what the hell was going on. So she just shrugged and went back to the couch and her argument with Helena over the baboon-ness of one Reese Witherspoon.

Awesome freakin’ job! I loved the update. “That doesn’t mean that I’m just going to forget about all the years before she and I got together.” Thank you! Someone realizes this! If only an unnamed person would have realized this before everything went kapooie. I love that Dana and Alice are becoming more comforatable around each other. I’ve got to admit, I really love the fact that Dana seems quite jealous of Helena. :) I hope Dana continues to let Alice in. I think that you truly have a grasp on the characters. You write them very well. Great job. I can’t wait for more.
Keep it up…this has great potential…if only Chaiken took it in this direction!
I love this fanfic and I really want you to keep Dana alive like IC should have done! This is def how season 3 should have gone down from a danish perspective, that is if they had to break up in the first place, can you tell I’m still bitter about the whole of season 3 lol?! anyway great chap and please post soon! xx
I loved how strong Dana was with Lara when they were talking about Alice. It’s realistic that they’re trying, but still aren’t quite comfortable with each other. I hope you won’t follow the death route that IC took. I’m much more interested in your take on how things could have gone.
Another brill part. Really enjoying your take on series 3. Great stuff, pps :)
Muted,alls i can say is AWSOME update babe!!!!You are def making this better to handle then the acual s3! Im glad you are going to do what i suggested,and yes darlin we will watch the good seasons soon! You are doing on hell of a job writing this ,please continue on your own pace!!PPS
I LOVE this story. You’re doing such a great job with it… so much better than the actual season 3. And I can’t wait to see how you’re going to handle it all. Fabulous job.
And now the lump? You’re killing me here…please don’t kill Dana too! And yes, you can do ANYTHING you want in your story, so come on, do it already. I know you want to. You want to, right? Seriously, really great update. And I am, however painfully, enjoying your take on S3. PPS
That was a fantastic chapter. Please, keep goin’ on:-)
i may be able to re watch season 3 after all… you have a great sense of Alice and Dana- your conversations and reactions are dead on. Your take on season 3 remedies so much of what was stolen from their personalities this year by the writers. Can’t wait to see where you take us. THANKS!
this story really breaks my heart. its just so damn hard for both of them and i feel their pain. damn. please continue. i really love it. i wish it was S3! i dont know whats next but i am very anxious to find out. :)
