    Author Notes:

    What really happened between Alice and Dana during and after the Y2K party?

    “Well, you certainly know how to sell your sport,” Alice replied jokingly, still trying vainly to regain her composure.  After all, she reasoned with herself, maybe the intensity of the moment they had just shared had all been in her imagination?  She stole a quick side-glance at Dana to gauge her feelings.  The brunette was gazing at the pool, and although her face appeared flushed, her expression was unreadable.  

    Alice sighed as she stood up and started to make her way back to the party.  As she turned away from the pool, she added, “But sure, I’ll come to cheer you on.  Besides,” she couldn’t resist tossing over her shoulder, “I’ll bet you look cute in your tennis whites.”  She shot a suggestive grin at Dana as the brunette looked back at her, then turned and stepped inside the house.

    Dana released a pent-up breath of air and gazed up at the sky after Alice had shut the patio doors.  What am I doing? she wondered.    

    ***

    “What am I doing?” Dana said aloud as she swung her racquet wildly, causing the ball to veer completely off the mark and out of bounds.  

    “OUT!” came the yell of the lineswoman, jarring Dana’s nerves even further.  Looking at the scoreboard, Dana saw the history of the past hour and fifteen minutes played out in unencouraging numbers: 6-4, 5-4.  Heaving a sigh, she glanced across the net at her opponent, who was getting ready to serve for the match.

    Might as well get this over with, Dana thought as she started to walk to a position just behind the baseline.

    As she strode down the court, she slowly became aware that her name was being yelled from the sidelines.  Glancing toward the audience, she caught a glimpse of Alice jumping up and down and waving to her excitedly.  Even through the cloud of defeat that she felt hanging over her, Dana couldn’t help but smile brightly at that.

    She felt a flutter of adrenaline as she turned to face the player across the court.  If nothing else, she would go out of this game swinging.  Reading her opponent’s first serve accurately, she managed to connect firmly with the ball, dropping her return just inside the baseline, scoring a point and taking the game to deuce.

    4. Wow, so nice to see you posting again! I really liked this… I never got how *Alice*, of all people, could hold herself back for so long (years!) before acting on an attraction to someone. This was a very good take on what might have caused the shift. Thanks for the post, blue. I hope you’re back to writing regularly soon. Cheers

    6. I completely loved this story. I was an avid reader of your Lace stories and I just love your writing. This was so enjoyable, I know you said it’s a one-shot, but I’m hoping a little positive feedback may convince you to continue with it!

    8. that did end so soon. but it was so perfect. i could see it happening just like that. fantastic job. good to see you back as well. and i can’t wait for your danish story.

    10. You’re back! I loved your Lace-stories, but I’m very exited to see you’re going to work on a Danish story! Loved the chemistry between these two in this short story.

    11. hehe. danish. yay.although i’m not liking dana’s interest in melanie, i’m looking forward on the development of the relationship between danish now that dana is out but how much would they ignore the intensity between them…

    12. Hey blue! Pendulums was indeed the perfect title for this very satisfying one-off! Like everyone else, I’m sure you could delight us further with is she/isn’t she situations….but this definitely set the stage perfectly for that great tension that is so obvious now in retrospect! I thought this was finely and realistically crafted (for just a teensy moment I thought you were going to have Dana make a miraculous comeback in her tennis match…which would have been fun…but utterly unrealistic!) And, REALLY loved the door in Alice’s face! Finally, I could just ‘see’ Alice making the comment about Melanie…you truly captured these two in a very engaging story….great to see you posting again!

    14. Yay Blue, wonderful to see you posting again! I’m so glad I caught this fic, and like your chracter development in your stellar Lace writings, the way you portray interaction between Dana and Alice here is delightful–I especially loved the way Dana confides shyly in Alice and feels something shifting between them. And Alice and the door? Classic. So Bravo to you! And if you decide to continue with this, you know, hey, I’d be OK with that;) –your loyal fan
