It's Fall 1997 and Stevie and Lindsey have it all...almost. With a wedding being planned and a baby on the way, a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour and the news of the band being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, everything has fallen into place.
That is, except for Lindsey's tie to a woman from his past that can't seem to take no for an answer.
Pregnant with Lindsey's child from their brief relationship , Kristen Messner embarks on a campaign to get Stevie and her unborn child out of the way to have Lindsey for herself...and what results is a fall from grace...and quite possibly, the Buckingham Nicks happy ending that should have been.

In the spring of 1997, Lindsey Buckingham was having fun in the studio, jamming with Mick, John and occasionally Christine, 4 out of 5 members of Fleetwood Mac ready to rumble. That was when Warner Brothers, capitalizing on the renewed energy and friendships, decided adding Stevie to the mix for a full-blown reunion concert would be a great idea. The Dance, as it was soon called, reunited 5 great musicians and friends...and also...a couple, 20 years smarter and saner and still very much in love. In this THIRD version of The Dance from GoldDustLinda77, you will follow along as Stevie and Lindsey finally clear the air in an effort to see, as they both approach 50, if love can conquer all...if they just sit down and talk and "let their secrets free, baby." Welcome back to 1997, that pivotal moment in history when Buckingham Nicks proves second chances are what happens if you "let the walls burn down" and talk it out.Complete
