Tina looked up slightly but continued to tap away on the keys as Roger said without introduction, "What have you got going on two weeks from Friday?"
Tina looked at Roger incredulously and said wryly, "I’ll let you know two weeks from Friday."
He feigned a laugh, saying sardonically, "Hardy har. You’re hilarious. But I have an assignment for you."
Tina continued typing as she said, "I didn’t know you were allowed to impinge upon my weekends, Roger."
He shrugged and said flatly, "It’s your grade, Kennard."
Now that he had her attention, Tina managed a smile and said amenably, "Okay. You tell me what I’m doing two weeks from Friday."
Roger burst into a satisfied grin and said, "Great. There’s an exhibition going on at the Hall. It seems Berkeley has an abundance of semi-famous young musicians and the dean of the music college is putting on a display of our metaphorical wealth for Parents’ Weekend."
Tina looked mildly intrigued and Roger sensed this, continuing happily, "Exactly. It could be fun, right? There’s this band called the A-Okays or something like that and they’re playing."
Tina’s mouth widened in a smile and she asked, "Really? This seems a little mainstream for them."
Roger shrugged and said, "I don’t know. I heard that all of the members go to school here so they have to listen to the Man. At least for a while."
Tina nodded. It would make sense that someone might have induced the rowdy rock act to play by hanging their grades over their head. Not that she knew any of them personally. She’d only heard about Alice. Maybe they were all serious scholars as well as budding rock stars.
Roger noticed Tina’s interest was piqued and continued, "You’ve heard of Helena Peabody?"
Tina turned to look at Roger sharply, saying incredulously, "Who hasn’t?"
Roger grinned and said, " I know, right? Hot and rich. What’s not to love?"
Tina knocked him in the shoulder, rolling her eyes as she said, "She’s also one of the finest classical musicians of her generation."
Roger nodded, saying sheepishly, "I heard that too. Still, you’ve gotta admit she’s insanely gorgeous."
Before Tina could admit any such thing, Roger said, "Anyway, we want you to cover the concert and maybe do some interviews with the performers.And seriously, do you listen to that classical bullshit?"
Tina rolled her eyes at the blatant dig and said in a dignified tone, "I do. And Helena Peabody is without a doubt one of the most talanted pianists in the world."
Roger began to snicker and Tina knew it was because the word pianist had a definite aural similarity to a certain part of the male anatomy.
She rolled her eyes again, this time more forcefully, and said, "You’re a child. Now go. "
Eventually, Roger walked off to hound another member of his bustling staff and Tina was left to her own thoughts. It was strange the way that just a week after she had made friends with Dana, she would be writing profiles on her secret girlfriend and one of their friends.
Tina was actually impressed by the pedigree of Dana’s friendships. One rock star and a classical musician slash heiress.
Tina laughed, knowing it had nothing to do with any design by Dana.
Clearly, the girl had good taste.

First Frip just take care of yourself and be safe with them hurricanes,,,,,,now I so missed your story, but was w/o my laptop cause it was with the TECH who can’t seem to still find what is wrong with it,,,LOL…anyway loved this story!!
This was yummy, lol…pps
Hey, Fripster!! Loved the chapter. Again I am struck by the detail you put in (the masking tape name on Bette’s door). You really have a talent for providing detail to set the environment without going into too much detail (if that make sense). Parent’s weekend is shaping up to be quite an event, eh? ;-D With Dana’s parents and also a possible Bette/Helena/Tina confrontation… As for 6 days: My heart is Danish. I love to see them fight through their problems and get back together stronger. If anyone can figure out a reasonable way to get the girls back together in 6 days (and 4 parts) I know you can do it. But I am with you for the journey no matter how it ends up. Thanks again for the wonderful stories!
Awesome, it’s good to know someone else knows what the hell I’m talking about when I mention EItS. Haha up here they’re pretty unknown, but I totally agree with the titles being poetry. I absolutely adore them, just like I adore this story as well as 6 Days. Glad to hear you’re okay! And please don’t feel pressured or like you need to explain your absence or anything. Like you, I was hooked on the World Cup and devastated when they lost so badly. I swear I want to punch that Marta in the face. And Solo should DEFINITELY have been keeper that game!! Gah. But anyway, yeah, I heart this and I heart you for writing it.
yay! hopefully no more hurricanes and no more absent dana. this was great. so glad youre back.
I thought I’d never see the day hahaha:D glad ur back frip! so everythings a-okay?where’s Dana though?bringsexyback in the next chap? hihihithanks again frip!;D
:)
Cross our fingers, this is it for the hurricane season. I hope fixing your roof is not a major repair. It can be such a drag. Glad to hear that you spent some time away from the keyboard to watch the women’s world cup. You really do not owe us any explanation for the lack of postage. I am simply happy to know that you are safe and I think I can speak for everyone that we love your stories so much that we don’t mind the wait. Your falling asleep with the soup reminded me of my 4 degree burn on the side of my leg with a heating pad. I remember waking up with a really bad hangover and a large blister on my leg. I hope you did not get hurt from the cup of soup. Seeing what you wrote to MaGoose, I think it could be either way. You have one sweet story going here. That will make up for “6 days” if A & D wouldn’t reunite in this 4 parts (chapters) story. There might not be enough time to work things out. Just my opinion. Back to this one, I felt kind of bad for A for worrying about the song. If someone write a song about me, I think I would be flattered and happy. But in D’s case, there would be repercussion. I could see how hard A was trying to protect D. Would this lead to a “D coming out” chapter? Now this is really getting interesting, T going to interview H. Wow, I can’t wait to see the triangle. Would it be B & T or T & H? I guess I just have to wait. Thanks fripster again for this fascinating story.
Great your back as love your story – but where’s Dana?
