Sunday, March 25, 8:45 a.m. Tracy Island.
 
"Ma! Did you see that!" Dianne cried into her portable satellite phone as she paced back and forth before the plasma screen TV in her sitting room. "She fell flat on her butt and he nearly tripped over her and they still got a 5.7! The fix is in somewhere, Ma! I just know it."
 
"Dianne, you know that judging ice dancing has always been a dicey proposition at best," Lisa responded from her home in Greenville, where she was watching the same ice dance finals. "There's entirely too much nationalism involved."
 
"Yeah, I know. Oh, here are the Argentinians. So far so good for them," Dianne noted as she paced some more.
 
Cherry, who was sitting on the love seat, trying to watch the screen, waved irritably at her mother. "Mom! Will you please sit down? I can't see the show!"
 
"Oh, sorry honey," Dianne said distractedly as she moved over to the sofa and plunked herself down. "These two are good! I think they'll probably medal. Hopefully a silver and not a gold, though. I don't think that they can beat the Americans this year."
 
"Well, we'll see what happens, won't we?" Lisa said calmly. "But I see what you mean. They've got a good rhythm going and they're skating clean."
 
"I like them!" Cherry piped up. "I hope they win."
 
Dianne shot a glance at her daughter. "You speak heresy, girl. You're an American and should want the Americans to win!"
 
They could both hear Lisa laughing over the phone. "Didn't I just say something about nationalism?"
 
Dianne frowned and rolled her eyes. Cherry laughed and pointed at her mother. "Gramma's got you pegged!"
 
Just as the Argentinean couple were about to get their marks, the emergency alarm rang through the house.
 
"Why now?" Dianne shouted, spreading her arms and looking at the ceiling as she jumped up from the couch. She handed the phone to Cherry. "Here. Talk to your grandma." She headed for the door and then turned and pointed a finger at her daughter. "Record this for me!"
 
"I will, Mom!" Cherry said, getting up and putting a disk in the vid recorder.
 
"What happened, Cherry?" Lisa asked, realizing that her daughter had just run out of the room.
 
"Emergency signal, Gramma," Cherry answered calmly. "There's a rescue called in." She paused for a moment. "Three 6.0s! Mom won't be happy about that!"
