Veeeeeery short, I know! But they only had one scene together!
Dedicated to Candy, incase she dies. Or updates, whichever comes first.
Reckoning:
They're sitting over there talking about tennis. Again. Cody debates for quite a while whether or not she should go over. What does she have to contribute? Then again, going over there means getting to talk to Squib…
Oh, yes. She's fully, completely, totally, entirely, utterly, and wholly accepted it by now.
But it still takes another five minutes of sitting there working up the courage before she actually does go over.
"Permission for a member of the common folk to speak?" Gee, Myers, smooth… "What does it matter if someone screws up?"
"If one of us slips in the rankings," Meghan informs her, "it could start the downward spiral," Over dramatic, much? "The next thing you know- Day job." Squib shutters in repulsion. Okay, crush or no crush, still a little bit of an idiot.
"And," Adena continues, "it's not easy staying friends with people who don't play."
Uh, hello! "Uh, hello!"
"It's different with you. I mean, you weren't at the starting gate," And damn proud!
"So make a pact," she suggests, "five years from this day, look each other up."
"City Girl speaks words of wisdom," Squib jokes and she looks down to hide the blush.
"Let's do it," Adena agrees, "five years from this day, we all get together again." Well, my work here is done. Time to go join the land of the living, or at least the non-tennis obsessed. Wait. Forgot where I was for a minute…Cody begins to walk away as they all put their hands in.
"Hey City Girl, get you're butt in here!" A familiar blond calls. She turns back a little stunned and after they make their pact she is smiling for more reasons than one.
City Girl. She likes that.
