Alice woke up to her alarm clock going off. The red numbers on the clock flashed 6:30, so she got up, got her stuff together and showered. After her shower she did her hair, brushed her teeth, got all prettied up and took off for the station.

Once at the station, she went over all of her notes and topics with Mimi. They approved the segment, and Alice walked out to her car. She took off driving towards The Planet. She pulled up and took her time going in. Once she got inside she saw Tina sitting at a table talking to Kit. They both smiled at her and waved her over.

She obliged, and sauntered over to the two friendly faces. She smiled at them as she sat down. Tina spoke up. “Hey, Al. Where’s the husband?” Alice flipped her off as Kit laughed and got up to walk away. “She’s training. Actually I need to call her. Maybe if I catch her in time, she’ll show up all sweaty!” Alice darted her hand into her pocket and grabbed her cell phone dialing Dana’s number. Tina laughed at how excited Alice had gotten at the idea of Dana showing up drenched in sweat.

Dana picked up one the third ring, huffing and puffing. “Hey….Al. What’s……up?” Alice was thrown off. “Sorry baby, I didn’t mean to interrupt you.” Dana was quick to cut her off. “No no no, I’m done training. I’m running to The Planet.” Alice giggled. “Perfect, that’s what I wanted.” They hung up, and Alice went to sit down with Tina, smiling big. “She’ll be here soon. She’s RUNNING. Which means sweat. Which means sexy. Which means she’s prolly gonna get some. Which means we won’t be here long.” Tina giggled as Dana entered The Planet, sweating.

Alice bit her lip, smiling at Dana. The tennis player stopped at the counter and got a bottle of water before walking over to the table. She sat down on the opposite end of the table as Al. This earned a puzzled glance from Alice.

“I know how you get when I’m all sweaty, Al.” Tina burst into laughter. Then Dana got up and sat next to Alice. “Joking baby. Why wouldn’t I want you all over me?” They kissed a few times while Tina whistled to herself. “You two are like a couple of teenagers.” She laughed at them for a moment before Dana spoke up.

“Hey, you gonna watch me kick some Capreony ass Friday?” Alice smirked and looked at Tina waiting for a response. “Dana, it’s already Wednesday!” Tina looked distraught, but a friendly hand on her arm from Dana calmed her. “Just asking you to watch a couple volleys, not fly out with me.” At this they both looked at Dana. She turned her attention to Alice.

“You however, are flying out with me tomorrow.” Alice was stunned. “But, I’ll make you nervous….that’s not fair to you.” Dana put the tip of her nose on the tip of Alice’s. “I need company on the flight, and my nerves calm for the match, and a good massage after the match. So I need you to go.” Alice was skeptical, and it showed. Dana sweetened the deal a little bit.

“Come on Al. Fucking Parrriiiisss.” At the mention of Paris, Alice’s eyes lit up. She bit her lip thinking. “Fine fine.” Dana jumped up and pulled Alice along with her hugging her tight. Alice immediately melted into the hug, and they left Tina sitting at the table like an awkward tennager.
