“Get…. OFF.. meee!” Alice muttered in between painful laughs. With all her strength she pushed Dana off of her.

“From now on AL, I’m not holding back. And you’ll actually have a taste of my OWN game.” with a last scoff, Dana walked to her own position over the court. “Get up weirdo! And show me what you really got. WITHOUT cheating…” both still panting from the previous encounter.

“Of course, Dane… No more fucking “cheating”!” Alice answered innocently as she crossed her fingers on the side where only Bette, Tina and Shane could see.

“Oh boy…” – Tina giggled.

“Kill me now…” – moaned Shane, a little concerned for Dana.

“I hope Alice can make it out ALIVE!” Bette said seriously as Tina and Shane stared at her with eyebrows raised.

“You know what? I would have never thought of it that way at the time.” Tina said as she snuggled closer to Bette.

“What do you mean baby?” Bette caressed Tina’s cheek slowly.

“I mean, you figured that the day would end with at least a fight. And you were right. Dana didn’t talk to Alice for a week after the game.”

“She had the right not to.” Shane reminded them, giggling as they remembered how the day went on.

“Is it really hot here or is it just me?” Alice said while continuing to run after the yellow ball.

“I told you, what you are wearing is not appropriate for tennis or any kind of sports for that matter.”

“Oh well I have to take it off then.” Alice retorted with a smug smile on her face.

“Wait until someone makes a point.” Dana stated. Alice just ignored what she said and sending the ball to Dana’s court, she quickly took her sweats off revealing a little too much of her body. Dana accidentally dropped her racquet and the ball flew by her. Mission accomplished, Alice danced her way to the girls.

“I don’t remember a day when Dana swore as much as she did that day.”

“Well Alice had it coming. She called Howie gay only to gain a point for god’s sake. Although it turns out he really is.” Shane said.

“She yelled out she had a major crush on Lara. Now that made a serious impact. I’m not sure why she got that mad though. Of whom was she really jealous? It was fun to watch that’s for sure.”

“She couldn’t care less about Lara. Remember by the end of the game, Alice pretended to faint just to gain the winning point…”

“Oh yeah and Dana immediately dropped her racquet, tears streaming down her eyes, I’ve never seen someone running that fast.” 

“Well she loved her deeply without even realizing it herself. Although after she figured out Alice had feigned it, she was shaking hysterically. I remember feeling really bad for her.”

“I thought it was sweet. She simply walked out on her, and well us, just not to regret what she might say. If it were me, well I would definitely kick Al’s ass right there and then.” Shane said.

“Do we still have the tape from that day?” Tina asked Bette.

“What tape?” Shane barged in.

“We secretly taped them so that they wouldn’t have the chance to deny anything they said or did. Especially Alice… We never showed it to them though. And yes Tee, we still have that tape in the basement with all the other Alice & Dana tapes.”

“Wait, what? There are others?” Shane asked holding her hand up.

“Plenty of them.” Bette answered smiling widely.
