Dana stood there shyly looking down clasping her hands together, Alice, I wont go if you ask me to stay.

Alice wasnt sure if she heard her friend right, What are you talking about Dana?, she asked calmly noticing the tennis players behavior was a bit odd.

Dana looked up at Alice, Ask me to stayand Ill stay.

Alice felt the tears start to form in her eyes, how could Dana know what she wanted?

—————– (Flashback)

Dana and Shane were tucking Alice into her bed, I cant believe she got so drunk tonight.

After making sure Alice was alright, Dana and Shane went out into the living room, You alright Dane, you look pretty beat?

Dana rubbed her eyes, you never realize how much stuff you have until you have to pack it all up.

Shane smiled, I still cant believe youre moving to New York, Dana Fairbanks, professional Tennis Player slash Model.

Dana blushed, Its not modeling, Im becoming a spokesperson, theyre two different things.

Shane moved closer to Dana, Still, its a big dealwere really gonna ***** miss you out here Dane.

Dana hugged Shane seeing that she had become a bit sad, Its only a year Shane.

Shane released herself from Danas hug, A year is a long timea lot of stuff can happen in a year. Who knows? By the time you get backTina and Bette may have 3 kidsJennywell she may be with a manor a womannever mind she doesnt count

Dana couldnt help but laugh as Shane continued, Carmen and I may be celebrating a year togetherand Alice could possibly be engaged, a year can do a lot Dane.

Dana looked at Shane, Are you trying to scare me into staying?

Shane laughed, No, Im just sayingI hope not too much happens while youre goneit wont be the same.

Dana hugged Shane one more time, I wont let too much time go by without a phone call here and there, and maybe you guys can fly out or Ill fly ina year wont seem like a year, I promise.
