She had been toying with the idea of asking Alice to come, perhaps she would suggest they drive down together. Then she dismissed the idea completely. She had forgotten Alice mentioning earlier that the A-Okays had a gig.
Dana was confused by the groundswell of emotions swirling within her. She was excruciatingly nervous about her first big college tournament and also immeasurably sad to face a weekend without Alice.
The low ringing of the telephone startled her from her musings and she stared at it for a moment before she picked it up and said quickly, "Hello?"
A young woman’s voice said clearly, "May I speak with Dana Fairbanks?"
Dana cradled the phone between her shoulder and ear as she continued to fold her laundry. "This is she."
The voice continued, "Miss Fairbanks, this is Tina Kennard from the Berekely newspaper. I was wondering if we could meet this week
to discuss the upcoming tournament."
Dana, suddenly nervous, said, "Um. Sure. I guess."
The other woman sounded kind enough and Dana tried to relax as she heard the girl continue, saying, "Perfect. We can meet for coffee this afternoon if you’re free. My treat."
They settled a time and Dana hung up the phone only to pick it up again and dial a familiar number.
——————————————————————————
Dana walked into the bright, sunny cafe on Dawson Street wearing her workout gear and a serious expression. She had been interviewed a few times in high school by local papers and even the LA Times sport section on one occasion; still, the idea of spilling her thoughts to a perfect stranger left her unnerved.
Alice had made her feel slightly better. She’d offered to leave practice and meet Dana for a quick pep talk but Dana could hear the rest of the band playing in the background and she knew Alice would hate to leave when they were so close to a big show.
They’d talked for a few moments before the conversation had come to a close with a strange, heavy weight attached to it, as if both young women were certain there was more to say but unsure of how to say it.
Dana was thinking about this when an attractive, friendly looking blonde approached her table.

Frip so loved that Helena is a great friend to Al, and seeing that Al took the advice she was given. Now we see the Tina is in the picture and seems to have noticed how Dana reacted to Dana talking about Al, but didnt say a word. I love how Al an Dana are so corny that is it sweet at the same time…great chapter Frip.
Just as I was getting off line, I decided to check the page and come to find out who put up a new post. Well I guess I found out sooner than I thought. lol. I’m glad that Helena was there for Alice when she needed a friend. OOOhhhh, Miss Tina Kennard comes into the picture. I can kind of think of where this is going. I think. lol Dana and Alice are so cute together. I hope that the 3 days will go smoothingly for the two ladies, even though they won’t be together because of the different occasions. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Oh yeah, thanks for enjoy my last chapter!!!! PPS.
FANTASTASTIC!!! will there be some drama coming up? hmm i hope so i love it lol man i love this story keep up the good work!!! :)
I told Akiracolorblind that it would be an earlier night but instead I was catching up on some old blogs regarding the show. Again, at 3 am your post appeared. What could I say other than I must read it. Thank you for mentioning Crossroads by Goldrun15. I will get to it soon. Btw, I also have friends who think orange juice and ketchup are fruit and vegetables. I have a chuckle from it. I think as you get older, you will think differently. Anyway back to your story. In the last chapter, I also noticed the red head but I did not want to think, even an inkling, that she was into culinary. If so, bring her on. I believe A & D’s deep love for each other would help them to endure all hurdles coming their way. From the conversation with H, A’s fear was totally legitimate. There would be the Fairbanks and the whole tennis world that they had to deal with. I look forward to seeing how things will unfold. “Let him who desires peace prepare for war,” that’s deep and true. I also like the introduction of TK. Wow, another incredibly good chapter. I totally agreed with the effect they had on each other. I guess being in love, one could conquer all. Yes, for you, carte blanche will always stand. Please do not ever second guess your writing ability. If MT said you are good, YOU ARE GOOD, period. One last thing, you can always bring back the hand washing deleted scene in another chapter. I will love to read that. Thanks again for your post.
yeah there is a huge time difference between where I live and where you live. I’m guessing your from the USA? or not somewhere in the west? We have like a ten hour difference. I just had dinner with my friends so idk what you’d be doing at this hour. I’m so glad that I stopped to check who has posted, this is another great chapter from you. I just love happy Danish. It makes me smile all the time. I hope they’ll get though without seeing each other for two days lol. Thanks for the post. I’m looking forward to the next one.:)
