“Well, hopefully you won’t be threatened with being kicked out. Jeesh, what type a sport is tennis any way Dane? You can’t yell at the umps…”
“Line judges….” Dana corrected.
Alice waved her off and continued with her list of grievances, “Then there is retarded point system….and combine that with the LACK of hotdog stands and you are bordering on not being a real sport. The only thing that tennis has working for it is the short skirts.”
At this, Dana playfully smacked Alice on the arm, willing herself not to blush.
“Hey. I am serious! When you are a big bad tennis star you better lobby for hotdog stands at the stadiums if you want me to keep going to your games…”
“Matches…”
“Dana,” Alice whined.
“Fine. Fine. I will lobby for unhealthy tubes of meat served on bread that has no nutritional value, for you. But only because I am waiting to see you actually get ejected from a match. Because, that would be hilarious.”
“Ha ha, Fairbanks,” Alice said with a smile before turning serious briefly. “I really am sorry Dana. That was a low blow in there. I know you have a lot of stuff going on… I just… I think you are putting too much on yourself. You have to be you Dane.”
Thinking about Conrad and her parents, Dana just shook her head sadly and said, “I’m learning that’s not good enough- at least the me off the court.”
“Well that’s bullshit Dane you’re…”
“Please Al don’t,” Dana said interrupting, not wanting to have this conversation.
“Fine,” Alice said noticing the determined look in her friend’s eyes. “But for what it is worth, I think Dana Fairbanks, both on and off the court, is best and I’ll beat down any bitch that says otherwise.”
It took all her willpower not to scoop Alice into her arms and hug her. Instead, Dana smiled and blushed while she got in her car saying, “I’ll see you at Bette and Tina’s tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow,” Alice replied before turning to head back into the café.
Dana watched her walk away for a few seconds before putting the car in drive and headed home to get ready for a boring evening filled with awkwardness, nerves, and lies.
It’s only a dinner- two hours max, Dana thought to herself. Two hours of feeling uncomfortable and pretending to be straight is worth it if I can get a sponsor. And Dana actually believed it.
She didn’t know if that was a good thing.

Great update, anionayo!! I understand Alice’s frustration, but, she could have said it in a less confrontational manner. I am so glad she went after Dana and that Dana heard her out. The whole “hotdog stand” conversation was so funny. I think Dana knows that Alice has her best interests at heart. You continue to write Dana’s journey in a very real way. Thanks!!
Excellent exchange between A & D. I truly enjoyed this update. Thank you very much, anionayo.
D falling off the bed was pretty funny. Her interaction with the guard Jim was very genuine. I also like A’s P.A. Julie. That’s an asset to A. Looking forward to the interview. uhhuh is right, please don’t cancel it. I also like to point out that I don’t recall A & D were both reporters concurrently in different fanfics like yours and uhhuh’s “Danish: Breathless.” Therefore, this is a very exciting time. Thank you very much, chillipepper.
Sorry that I post the above comment in the wrong story.
I just found your work today, and have to admit that I’ve been enjoying it immensely between my classes. I can’t wait for the next chapter!Long live Danish!

HelllOOoo A! Wow. I really wish that Dana didnt have to ‘hide’ but i guess i can understand, at least Al is there for her even though she doesnt agree. So its going to be team H&D? LoL I can only imagine what those two will be like together….hopefully Dana will get some stuff sorted out in her head and figure out how and when she will follow her true self. Thank You for another outstanding update!
