“Ha ha, very funny. Well miss thang, just for your information I’m not like that anymore. I KNOW how to cook. And just to prove it to you two, I am going to cook breakfast.”

“Aww right, where’s the phone? I’ll let the fire department know they’ll be needed in about 15 minutes.”

Bette stands up.

“By the way miss THANG, you might want to put some clothes on, its distracting if you know what I mean.” Bette looks at Kit and Tina quickly takes a sip of coffee.

45 minutes later

Bette had cooked six western omelets, with hash browns that had a nice golden brown color on top, bacon and sausage, with toast, of course. By that time the rest of the girls had woken up from the smell that was coming from the kitchen. They were floored by the meal that Bette had prepared. When they were finished they could barely walk.

“So what did you think?”

“That was great Bette, from what they told me about your cooking, is totally the opposite.”

Bette looks at Alice, “Thanks Kelly. And you must be the one telling her that about me.”

“Well it was the truth. What did you do hire Martha Stewart herself for cooking lessons?”

“Just ignore her baby girl, breakfast was wonderful, Sydney has been good to you.”

“Seriously Bette, where did you learn to cook?”

“Well Dion and Dani helped me a lota lot. It wasn’t easy. Ask Dion herself, she was ready to give up.”

“That’s cool. Too bad Dana isn’t here.”

“***** her interview!”

It was almost 9am so they all gathered into the living room and Bette turned the t.v. on and switched the channel to Fox sports. The commercials had just finished so they got comfortable on the couch and they saw Dana sitting next to the Fox reporter.

“Hey there she is. I wonder if Lara is watching this.”

“I’m pretty sure she is.”

**Interview**

–         Hi! Welcome back to Fox sports I’m Michelle Collins and here with me is Dana Fairbanks from Los Angeles, California. (She turns to Dana) Good morning, welcome Dana.

–         Good morning.

–         So how are you feeling this morning?

–         I’m feeling good.

–         This is your first Adidas Invite, what are you expecting?

–         Wow, I guess the unexpected really.

–         And your first match is against Greta Valentino, how you feel about that since you played against her the last time at the U.S Open. She knocked you out the second round.

–         Well I feel really good today. I believe I have become stronger than I have since the last time. I know I need to play more aggressive than I have before. I know I haven’t won many tournaments so that leaves me the great underdog, but I’m here and ready to go.

–         That’s great. So did your partner come to see you play?

–         (Dana smiles) Actually she was unable to make it, but my friends and family are here to support me. (She looks into the camera and waves) Hey guys!

–         Well thank you very much for taking the time and good luck to you.

–         Thank you very much.

–         Well there you have it. A very determined lady, miss Dana Fairbanks out to win the Adidas International Invite. We will be right back after these messages.

 “That was really short.”

“Believe me Alice after she wins the next couple rounds reporters will be waiting in line to talk to her.”
