Tina had wrapped up her packing earlier than she has planned. She had found someone to sub-let her apartment and she was out of excuses delaying her return to LA. That was until she realized that with all that was going on, Alice might be up for some company in DC. That little detour would give her at least another day before heading to the unknown life waiting for her in LA. Though she missed Cara a great deal, she knew that between Bette and Julia, Cara would be well taken care of. Tina on the other hand could use some time.
—
The next morning, despite protests from Shane and Dana, Alice stayed behind in DC when they headed off to the airport. Both Shane and Dana wanted Alice to come with them and if that wouldn’t happen, then they wanted to stay in DC, but Alice wouldn’t hear of it. It was easier to convince Shane than Dana. Shane understood Alice’s need for space right now. She was just hoping that the time alone would help her to forgive Dana. She also agreed to go with Dana, since Alice knew that Dana would need the support, especially with Alice staying in DC.
Dana wasn’t as easy. She had an answer to all of Alice’s reasons until Alice simply stated that she needed time to think about their relationship, that she wasn’t sure what to do next. For that, Dana had no answer. Though she had told Alice the truth when she explained her actions and though Alice seemed to understand, she knew the blonde well enough to know that it wasn’t over yet and Alice was going to have more to say about it. With all of the guilt that Dana was still feeling, she has no choice but to relent and leave Alice in DC to finish her assignment. As Shane and Dana were about to leave the hotel, they ran into Tina walking into the lobby.
Tina’s simple question of "What are you guys doing here?" turned into a thirty minute conversation explaining all that had happened in the last 24 hours and Tina promising Dana that she would take care of Alice for her.

Lucia, you deserve a round of applause for continuing this story since its debut in April, 05. I, for one love this story and am thrilled to know that you will are working on an ending. Great scene with A & T trying to fish out each other’s story over drinking. I am with 25justagirl & capesquad, I would rather see T ending up with “Juwia” just because Julia had shown her constant love and support to T & Cara. Plus T had already said that B did not do equal well. To me, in this case, J & T were better fit. Back to A & D. I hope D could demonstrate to A soon that she was trustworthy and committed. Of course A’s apprehension was with merit after all the heartaches D had given A. I do not blame A for staying away to figure things out. All and all it’s a great day to see you posted. Thank you.
I am so thrilled to see a new chapter from you on this great story!! I love how you have thrown Alice and Tina together. They really are what the other one needs right now. Hopefully Alice will open up to Tina in the next chapter. If they need it, I will send them over a couple more bottles of wine. And I am glad that Dana and Julia are talking. Maybe that will help Dana understand why Alice needs a little space right now. I love that Julia was willing to call Alice back from the DC assignment. “And not for the fun use of handcuffs either” — Hee! Thank you so much for the update, lucia! And, no worries, it was excellently done, as usual!!
Wow. I had given up hope that we would see another chapter. Thanks so much for returning to share your story. Come back soon, OK?
Yay…………. you finally posted!!! I’m just so happy right now…:-D Usually, I’m firm believer that Tina and Bette belong together, but this time I want Tina to end up with Julia. I can’t wait for the next chapter, hopefully there will be more Danish… Thank you for continuing this. Maybe you’ll update “Ghost of Christmas Past” too?
Lucia posted. (does happy saturday morning coffee dance.) Tina is so adorable. Loved the description of her examining each wine bottle one by one to be sure they were empty… You’ve convinced me she and Julia and Cara belong together. Still… i’m wondering about those breakfasts at the planet with Bette some mornings…oh well, what would we do with out some ‘dyke drama’ occasionally? As for ms. Alice… she is the queen of deflection. sigh…. next chapter, right?p.s. what season 5? Was Alice in Season 5?
Wow. What did I do to deserve your story? lol… I’m so happy! I understand Alice needing time. I just wish Alice will realize no matter what happened, Dana’s heart was right there with Alice…. And I really wish that she’ll see that she loves Dana, only Dana. You’ve convinced me about Jule and Tina, seriously. =) Good job. And PPS!!
As I recollect, Lucia, I was part of the judges’ panel that awarded you a prize for this fanfic. After said prize was awarded, it disappeared, pronto. Ditto for LastKid and her fabulous “Tina, Tiny Pieces” and another fic that I loved that was a B&T detective fic. >>You know what I learned from that experience? NO MORE FANFIC AWARDS! They seem to have an inhibiting effect upon the writers. What gives? I’m glad you’re back and I hope you’ll bring Lastkid out of the woodwork with you. I really like this fic a lot and I’m glad you’ve returned to it! Thanks! BTW – I like Julia but Bette all the way for me and Tina. Thanks!
I love it! I just found your story because I just found this amazing website and I read your entire story in two days. In fact, it was very hard to do work because I wanted to read the story. Please post soon. I can’t wait!
