‘Johnny, its Harry. Look about the tickets, you were joking right? You are gonna get me some. You know how much I enjoy watching you play, and if this is going to be your last, well then, and you promised you’d keep in touch. Sucks having to find out how you’re doing from the newspapers. You know what they’re like. Anyway, call me

“Seriously,” he said, “what are you doing here, in my room, on my bed, using my laptop?”
The look he received was incredibly similar to the one the reporter had got after asking if he thought he might win the Tournament. “I told you,” Sherlock said, slipping his long limbs from the bed to stand and stretch, “bored. Everyone around here is so dull, but you seem at least mildly distracting, so I thought I’d come here and wait for you.”
“Right.” In a strange, twisted sort of way that almost made sense. “Thanks, I think. Wait, how did you get in?”
The Frenchman just smiled. “I’m thinking dinner,” he said instead. “I know this great little Italian place. Meet me at the rear entrance, seven thirty.”
Then he was gone.
John stared at the door as it closed. What exactly had just happened there?

Hoping to get some serious writing done over the weekend. Already know there are some significantly longer parts coming very soon.

Thank you. I never thought that I could enjoy writing a fic about tennis but I'm having so much fun with this one. I'm also glad you're enjoying it as well. I always think such fun and enjoyment is better shared. :)

Thank you so much. This is my first time of writing a story like this with regular updates, so it's a completely new challenge for me. Fingers crossed my muses will be keeping up with me. So far, so good. :)
It's brilliant to know that there are people out there reading. Makes it so much easier to make sure the next part gets done. So thank you for your comment. :)

I'm really enjoying this and I officially declare that I am hooked. I adore this universe that you created and I will be excitedly awaiting the next parts.

You're hooked? Excellent, my work here is done. Or not quite done since I still have a story to finish.
Thank you for your comment though. Always good to know that there are people out there reading and enjoying it. Makes writing so much easier and more fun. :)

Don't think about it too much, John, just go with it.
Oh absolutely. Go, John, go!
There I was thinking 'Shouldn't there be a message from Sherlock as well?' and then you went and did something MUCH BETTER and so very Sherlock.
Hehe, thank you. I just couldn't help myself. Sherlock just kind of turned up, a little out of the blue actually. I was writing it and then suddenly John walks into his room and there Sherlock was. :)
You have no idea how happy this thing is making me
And you have no idea how happy you're comments are making me either. Thank you. :)

And the start of some of the longer parts.Seven thirty gave him just enough time to shower, brush his teeth, grab some new clothes, decide he didn’t like those clothes, put some more new clothes on, look in the mirror, decide he preferred the first clothes, change again, berate himself for being an idiot, check he smelt fine, flatten his hair and get down to the rear entrance only to find that Sherlock Holmes was nowhere to be found

“Your frustration with your serve suggests you picked up the injury in the match you went out on, but the fact you ended up on your side says you were already losing. Had you been winning you would have let the shot go and simply lost the point. So you were getting desperate. Every point counted. Your opponent was obviously younger and faster than you, but not necessarily better because otherwise he would have killed the game dead before you resorted to acrobatics

“Fortunately,” Sherlock continued back in his crisp English tones, “they’re also reasonably easy to take care of.” He slid the phone shut again and returned it to his pocket. He flashed a brief smile. “We shouldn’t have any further interruptions. In fact, it appears we’ve arrived.
The moment the cab stopped, Sherlock was out the door and thrusting the driver the fare. Following, John found himself on the pavement by a cosy looking restaurant. Well, he thought looking at the name across the front, this must be Angelo’s.

I love the way you're weaving in bits of the series (the cab scene) with bits from the film ("Eleventh!")
Also I'm now curious as to how John got his shoulder injury. I bet it was doing something truly BAMF
And the part where John congratulated Sherlock on his win was really quite sweet. Also I can exactly picture Lestrade's exasperation on discovering that Sherlock had managed to slip away despite his best efforts (probably by tricking/misdirecting a lacky or dressing as a waiter or heck, just climbing out the bathroom window)

Blimey that was quick. I've only just managed to finish responding to your last comment.
I'm having so much won weaving the series and the film together. It's all coming together sooo much better than I had imagined. As for John's shoulder injury, you'll just have to wait and see.
Poor Lestrade. I can image that Sherlock doesn't give him an easy time. We'll be seeing a bit more of him a little later I'm sure, although not for another few parts at least. :)

I adored that new take on the cab scene from ASiP and I continue to love this story.
John trying out two outfits before his "date" was very endearing and I loved how he noticed that Sherlock had changed too. Also, Sherlock running away from his entourage was kind of cute.
Do you see that? It's my camping tent. Because I'm not moving away from here.
