    Author Notes:

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

    “Yaay!!  Go Dana!!” she heard Alice cheering frantically from the stands.  Dana glanced up and shot an appreciative smile at Alice, who waved back.  

    After two more hard-fought points, Dana managed to break her opponent, levelling the set at 5 games apiece, much to her surprise.  She could still hear Alice cheering her on in between points, but her focus was now on her game.  She held onto her service game easily, bringing the score to 6-5 in her favour.  But, the next game saw a return to form for her opponent, and although Dana fought for every point, she couldn’t stop the game from going to a tiebreak.  After an especially long tiebreaker, during which the score wavered back and forth, Dana eventually lost.  

    But, as she gathered up her things and walked off the court, Dana realised that she didn’t feel nearly as disappointed as she would have if the match had ended a couple of games earlier.  If she was honest with herself, she never expected to win against her opponent, who was a top-ten competitor.  She was just pleased with the effort she put into the match, especially during the final games.  

    And, she knew just who she had to thank for that.

    ***

    Alice glanced quickly at her reflection in the glass cover of a trophy display case sitting in the hallway just outside the locker room.  She’d spent about ten minutes trying to coax the security guard to let her go downstairs to greet Dana, before finally flashing her press pass and making up a story about interviewing “Ms. Fairbanks” for Women’s Tennis Weekly, the first fake magazine name she could come up with.  

    She straightened out an errant strand of hair, then scowled at herself in the glass.  Why did she care so much about what she looked like?  She was just going to see Dana, to congratulate her on a great game – nothing more.

    So, why did it feel like more?

    Sucking in a breath of air, Alice pushed open the heavy locker room door and stuck her head around the corner.  The image that greeted her caused her to stop in her tracks, with the door pushed open before her.

    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
