Everything I've Got

This is a Alice/Dana (Danish) and Helena/Alice (Helacious) story. The term 'Helacious' was coined by Dreiser during one of our late-night Yahoo chats. So when you see someone refer to it as 'Helacious' and you wonder how it got that name, it was Dreiser. I know because I was talking to her when she came up with it. All Hail our Helacious dinghy and Dreiser who named it.

Title of the story takes its name from the Minnie Driver song called 'Everything I've Got in my Pocket'

The Chapters

chapter 1-- Dana broods over stuff. Alice saves someone (Helena, obviously) from her horrible mother (Peggy, DUH!) who was foolish enough to actually like Bette Porter. I mean, ewwwwww Bette? Haha. Okay, fine she's not so bad. But let's have some fun and for the purpose of this story, Bette is 'BetteEwww!'

chapter 2 --Alice and Helena go to the Pageant of the Masters together for reasons that I totally contrived. They go with the kids and I'm jealous because I'm dying to go to the Pageant of the Masters, but it hasn't happened yet. Oh, well. Maybe next year. Alice and Helena bond. Some cutesy Danish moments.

chapter 3 -- Alice supports Helena through something. Dana tries to cook Alice dinner, but it comes off sort of as a disaster. Dana utters the line, "eating burn foods can give you cancer!" in this chapter. Dana comes to a realisation.

chapter 4 --Alice and Dana visit Bette and Tina, thus creating a blow-out between Pixie Alice and BetteEwww over the wonder that is Helena Peabody. Helena thinks of Alice and also visits a psychic.

chapter 5 --Breaking up is hard to doooo. That's one of my favourite songs, by the way. Helena takes care of Alice. They hang out and have fun. Dana broods about her choice.

chapter 6 --Dana and Alice come to an understanding, Alice and Helena hang out and you hear the history of Helena's relationship with her ex, Winnie. Who is far too shrill for me to actually listen to, and as a consequence, I came up with a revisionist backstory. But it's not that far off. Alice talks Helena into going on a double date. A BLIND double date.

chapter 7 ---A Dana/Alice confrontation, a Alice/Helena conversation, L'il Willy, the Post-It makes his appearance, Alice goes on some dates with not-so good results. But then she and Helena bond over them

chapter 9 -- Alice and Helena have some fun

chapter 10 -- Helena and Alice have some fun which is interrupted by Tina who has had a fight with BetteEwww. I think I'm going to stop calling her BetteEwww because it takes up too much space, but I can see now why some people might have fun calling Helena "HellNo" in their chapter summaries. Actually, I think I'll go own with BetteEWWWWW. Gabby pops in as well.

chapter 12 -- Dana wants to start dating Alice again, and they reach an agreement that makes no one that happy. Especially Helena.
