Dana, not from LA herself, but certainly close enough to pass judgment, said dryly, "Yes."
Tina looked out the window at the same red Volkswagon they’d been beside for thirty minutes and said miserably, "I may have to rethink my career choice."
The tennis player turned down the volume on her CD player, pulling the earphones off gingerly as she said, "I think if you can manage to stay off the freeways it’s better."
Tina said bluntly, "Let’s hope so."
Forty-five minutes later the coach was walking up and down the length of the bus passing out room keys and sleeping arrangements. Dana was thrilled to find that she and Tina were going to be in the same room.
They lugged their suitcases and bags into the hotel with the coach advising them all to meet back downstairs in thirty minutes for a quick lunch before they headed to the tennis center.

The hotel room was typically nondescript and Dana tossed her suitcase onto the bed nearest the door before she looked up and questioned Tina, saying, "Is that okay? If you’d rather have this bed- "
Tina shook her head and threw her own suitcase onto the other bed nearest the wall. "It’s fine, Dana.
The tennis player nodded and began to unpack the practice clothes she would wear before changing into game colors.
Tina was already exhausted from the halting, protracted stint in traffic and leaned back onto the bed, closing her eyes.

Alice swallowed a handful of assorted headache medicine, decongestants and even a Midol for luck before she crammed a handful of Kleenex into her jeans pocket along with a bag filled with lozenges.
Toting her guitar case wearily, she made her way to her car and then drove the short distance to the practice loft.
Walking inside, she tried valiantly to ignore her aching joints and general malaise. She took a moment to compose her face and focused her thoughts on looking happy and energetic.
Frank saw her first and shot up from his chair, concern etched over his bearded face. "Al! Dude, you look awful."
Dylan looked over and nodded, saying, "Man, shouldn’t you be in bed?"
Alice groaned and said, "Come on, guys. Don’t baby me. I just want to work this out of my system and go home and sleep it off before tomorrow."

OMG her last words had to be the Six Million Dollar man,,LOL. Frip that was awesome and now I want to know what were in those pills and what does Al have? And Tina is now aware of Dana’s sexualtiy but will she publish it or be a rewl friend and keep it quiet? And last we see that both Bette and Helena are hot and mad about one another,,,love it… I think that Dana should call AL her “Rock N Roll Queen” you know that is the name of the song, its so cool…great chapter Frip.
Six Million Dollar Man? Oh, geez…lol…”I don’t know if I want to slap you or kiss you.” I loved that…so much passion and fury, it’s intoxicating…pps
whooo hooo! i liked this one a lot. helena and bette are great, like their old selves. fantastic, and alice is an unfolding drama i wanna read more of. pps!
You are truly amazing. What a great chapter. Is there something higher than an “A” game? ‘Cause you hit it. Poor Alice! Thank goodness she has close friends who I am sure will rush her to a hospital. I trust you that she will be OK (maybe with a little drama). I hope those pills weren’t too bad — and that she learns her lesson about taking random pills! I have a feeling that Dana is going to feel pretty bad about not being there. They really do complete each other. What a great step for Dana, though, to come out to Tina. I wouldn’t object to any Belena lovin’. I know they aren’t soul mates (like Danish), but, I would like Helena to get some. Oh — and I had those doctors in college! I’m starting to think we may be from the same school. I had a doctor that just had envelopes of pills on his desk that he would randomly hand out. The muscle relaxers were quite nice. Apparently the doctors that were no longer competent for the football team got sent to the clinic. BTW: I’m actually more of a “Mother Goose” than an “Iceman” (hence my login name — actually based on Top Gun — yes, I am that old). Please keep posting. I am addicted to this story.
Thank you for placing the blanket on A while she napped. I guess I was too late to suggest some mega dosage of Vitamin C and Echinesia for her cold before bed. What did you give A, poor A, I hope she did not damage her liver or kidney. I love the way you wrote A’s dialogue. They were sharp & funny. What is going on? Tina’s sick too. Was there a epidemic? It was great to see T being so good to D right away. The exchange between B & H was great and you ended with another unbelievable cliffhanger. How do you do it? See, everyone loves your story and you are posting at “ludicrous speed” (remember “Spaceball”?). Your story is so awesome that I want to respond immediate after each post. Unfortunately I had to go out as soon as I saw the post. All day long I couldn’t wait to come home and read. Thank you fripster!
