I love you. She said seriously, looking down at Dana, maybe not sure how the other woman would react. In a second Dana became equally serious.

I love you too, Al. She answered, causing Alices heart to jump several beats ahead. Dana her hands wander up to Alices neck to pull her down and let their lips meet in a kiss. The kisses were sweet, on the verge to become more intense when Dana broke it of. What is this?

What? Alice asked, looking puzzled.

This music? What IS this? Dana stared at her girlfriend, listening to the lyrics of the song now playing.

Its my um anger management music. Alice responded quickly, blushing slightly. South Park.

South Park? Dana looked as though she was about to break in to a roar of laughter. Its so I dunno silly. 

Well, thats the point. Its anger management. Alice sat up, looking seriously at the brunette. You listen to silly songs and then the anger just vanish. Like in that movie. Serious research has been done on this Dana. I kid you not. In fact, Im thinking of writing an article about this phenomenon in LA Magazine.

Recommending people to listen to Uncle *****? Dana mocked, still on the verge to laugh out loud. Alice stared at her and then lifted her nimble fingers dramatically into the air.

Are you mocking my anger management songs? She asked seriously gazing at Dana, who felt the very real threat of getting tickled once again.

No. Absolutely not. The tennis player answered quickly. Its a masterpiece.

Thats what I thought. Alice smiled, very pleased with herself. Now, where were we? She asked seductively pushing Dana down on the couch again.

Alice walked out of the KCRW studio after another evening with the Chart. She felt a bit tired and suppressed a yawn as she said goodbye to co-workers. Then, out of nowhere, came a voice calling her name. She turned around and spotted Helena Peabody behind her.

Hello, Alice. Im sorry to disturb you. The heiress looked distinctly more tired than usual. Alice thought she looked a little hollow eyed as well.

Youre not disturbing, Helena. How are you? Alice asked pleasantly, noticing that the dark haired woman was very embarrassed.

I wanted to thank you. For escorting me home the other night.

It was nothing. The blonde interrupted, putting her hand on Helenas arm. The other woman gave her an uncertain smile.

Yes it was. I dont know how to thank you for that. And if theres anything at all I can do for you, dont hesitate to ask

Well, you can buy me some coffee. Im so ***** tired I need a dose of caffeine before I can drive. Theres a nice caf just down the road. Alice interrupted again. What she had said was half true. She was dying for some coffee, but she also was very concerned how Helena actually felt. Maybe a cup of coffee could shed some light into the mystery that was Helena Peabody. Helena smiled widely and seemed to loosen up a little.

That would be nice. Will you lead the way? She asked a bit shyly.
