Oh those are of Dana, its her last three matches against Jessica Turmincoski. I have been doing a little research on her. Bette said as she half sat up leaning on one of her elbows. Alice was right when she said Dana should be killing this girl. Statistically Dana has her hands down, Danas serve is so much better, her drop shots and net play are better. The percentage of unforced errors is in Danas favor and just her overall game is better SO why is this chick beating Dana so badly? Bette asks as if lecturing an audience. Looking at Tina, Bette waits to see if Tina has any input on Dana.

Well, I know Dana and well most the time she looses its because she beats herself in some sort of fashion. Am I close? Tina asks as she snuggles up to Bette.

God I should have had you here half the day, it would have saved me from reviewing all that tape. And I thought I was so clever. Bette says trying and failing to look indignant to Tina. Here come with me and I show you what I mean. Bette says getting up and throwing on her sweats.

OK, but you know I really like it here. Tina protests a little as she gets up and follows Bette back downstairs to the TV. As Tina gets comfortable in front of the TV, Bette is already rewinding the tape to show Tina what she has discovered.

I got these tapes from Alice this morning. As I was going through them something struck me as odd. Here look at this. What do you see? Bette asks.

Well its Dana in her pre-match warm ups. Why? Tina responds.

Well watch her, how does she seem to you? Bette inquires.

She looks good, form looks good and she seems relaxed. Tina says.

Right. You could even say she is focused on what she is doing. She is in her pre-match routine. Bette agrees with Tina. Now watch this. Bette now begins to fast forward to another match. Again this is Dana in the pre-match warm up. On the tape this Dana is distracted. She seems to be constantly peering across the court and not doing her usual warm up activities.

Wow, Dana seems really out of sorts there. What is going on? Tina asks.

Thats just it. This is how Dana warms up before each match she has with this Turmincoski chick. I think this chick is psyching out Dana. I have been looking at these tapes but I just cant put my finger on whats happening specifically. I mean Dana is either intimidated by this Turmincoski or Turmincoski is bullying Dana in some fashion that throws Dana completely off her game. Bette concludes to Tina.

Gee Babe, I think your right. But how do you get Dana to see whats happening and overcome this *****. Tina not liking the idea of one of her friends being bullied.

Well I have to find out the trigger first and to do that I think I need to talk with Dana, so I have called her and tomorrow morning she is going to meet me for coffee and well she thinks that she is going to do me a favor but really I may have a solution. Bette confides in Tina. I think this Turmincoski is a loud vocal person and I think that might have something to do with it but I think I will know more tomorrow.

Well isnt that my Babe, all knowing and all seeing and able to fix anything. Tina says as she leans into Bette for a quick smooch.

Huhm, I dont know about that but I sure like these little rewards for my efforts. Bette replied.
