    Alice has something to tell Dana…


    Alice read the sign again, and immediately started fidgeting with her pen. She got up, walked around her chair three times, then settled back down, this time repeatedly tucking her hair behind her ears…first one side, then the other. ‘Talk to Dana? Here? On the radio?’ Alice didn’t have a whole lot of boundary issues, but she did wonder if this was the best place to have the conversation with Dana she knew she needed to have. Of course, Alice being Alice only questioned her Producer’s suggestion for a few scant seconds, before deciding that here and now, was the perfect time for this conversation. She looked into the control booth and nodded her head. ‘Ok, ok, ok…shit! Where to start?’

    "Welcome back to The Chart. My name is Alice Pieszecki, and today we are talking about grief. When Dana died, mine came in the form of a big fat squishy blob filled with absolutely nothing."

    "I want to move on though. This conversation, like my life must move on. In fact, there is a reason I am talking about this today, and that is…well, to put it simply, I need to talk to Dana, and I need your support in doing so."

    Alice cleared her throat and closed her eyes. She pictured Dana, all sweaty after a workout, and smiled.

    "Hey Dane," she said softly into the microphone, still smiling. "I miss you. How are you doing? How are you feeling? Are you eating right? Is the food good up there? I bet you don’t have to watch what you eat anymore, huh? That’s gotta be a good thing. I mean, not that you don’t care about how you look or anything…I just mean that, well…you know…now you can eat whatever you want, and however much you want, that’s all. Hey, that reminds me of that movie we saw with Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, Defending Your Life. Remember the pasta, and the shrimp…and all those apple pies? That’s all I’m saying…it must be great to eat whatever you want and not have to worry about gaining any weight. Hey, do they have a Past Lives Pavilion up there too?"

    Alice heard a faint knock against the window, and knew right away what she would see. She had been babbling. Looking up, her producer was giving her the ‘move along’ motion. "Yeah…right…anyway." Alice hesitated, but knew she had to tell Dana the truth.

    1. Sea, you said you dont write much about Alice, but I want you to know that I read this with the same goofy smile you probably had on your face. You did a terrific job with this one….thanks!!!! (clapping my azz off)

    2. DAYUM girl! Well I WAS going to write something for the challenge but I think you just buried the competition alive. LMAO On writing Alice, you did her justice. I also loved the B&T tie-in of course. =D

    3. While this is an “Alice” story, there’s something familiar about it. OH YES! I know now… the tone of this story reminds me of one of my favorites on this site…”If it is meant to be…” or maybe then again “When you get it, do you still want it?” You warm my heart… or should I say “fill my pool”? Thanks Sea. :)

    4. That was great. You are such an excellent writer that I don’t think you could write a bad story even if you tried. I just love everything you write.

    5. A wonderful and emotional goodbye to Dana. Alice finally lets go of her pain. Excellent writing, Sea, as are all your posts. I can just picture Alice saying those words her show. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    6. omg i loved it and i think its one of the best stories i have read in months and also had a happy ending and on tbc…. lol thanx for making me smile today i needed it

    7. Hey Sea! That was wonderful. I must admit I chuckled when I saw the post wasn’t purely Alice. Just couldn’t stand not to have Bandt in there could you? I loved this! Let’s hope this is how season 4 opens up.

    8. This was really beautiful, and, strangely enough, helped me put the Dana to rest… TV emotions back on track. Love the Defending Your Life reference (love that movie!), as well as Katharine Hepburn (not that she really needed a plug), and I always adore your treatment of our girls Bette and Tina – and how you always make sure they end up together in a way that is right and believable. You wrote Alice to well, complete with babbling and tangents, and I could picture her saying all those things. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story, and I look forward to your next post!

    9. Very sweet, Sea. I notice you smoothly included a B & T reunion as well, you sly gal. Oh and “Defending your Life” – love that movie.

    10. Absolutely fantastic story.I shed a few tears while reading it. Just beautiful!Are you planning on writing other chapters? I do hope so!
