I concur with the main opinion except that I respectfully dissent from the absolute reversal of the trial court's order denying Southern Energy's motion to compel arbitration, inasmuch as, in my opinion, we should only conditionally reverse the trial court's order. I think our judgment should read as follows: "The order of the trial court denying Southern Energy's motion to compel arbitration shall be reversed and the trial court instructed to grant the motion unless, within 21 days following the issuance of our certificate of judgment in *Page 530 
this cause, the plaintiff shall dismiss the intertwined claims against Blue Ribbon; but, if the plaintiff shall timely dismiss the intertwined claims against Blue Ribbon, then the order of the trial order denying Southern Energy's motion to compel arbitration shall stand affirmed."
