Bette looked down at herself and frowned.

Dana: “I’m not getting back on that penis Alice!”

Alice: “Well then you’re just gonna have to sit in the vagina where you belong Dana!”

Shane laughed.

Alice: “Ok, come on…let’s do this. I want to be back on the float in 10 minutes. And those drag queens better still be there or there will be hell to pay people. Hell to pay!”

Alice, Lara, Dana, Jenny and Shane stood around the table as Tina sat next to Katey on the other side of the table. Bette popped a squat next to Jaded and stared at her with intimidation.

Alice: “Well, looks like you two were left on your own to clean up the mess your buddy Blu made. And you’re gonna clean up the mess she made. Now we talked about it, and we see no reason to involve the authorities. We feel it’s fair enough if you clean up the mess so we can make the ‘End of the Parade party’.”

Katey’s expression turned to excitement. She quickly reversed it to a mock sadness as she said, “Oh, all right,” and lightly kicked Jaded under the table. Jaded sat up and said, “Oui, it’s the least we could do.”

Alice, expecting resistance from the wayward Wankers, put her hands on her hips and donned a thin layer of authority over her genuine look of surprise at how smoothly this was going. “All righty then! Well, we should probably get on that.”

They all started heading toward the door. Katey and Jaded hung back and when they were far enough ahead of them, Jaded said, “What the fuck? Why are we cleaning up the float? Blu’s the one who shat it up!”

Katey: “Because don’t ya see? You’re next to Wank. You can write a cheesy narrative making us clean the float up while you Wank Blu into the server to find the glitch into JB and who ever else we can find! It’s perfect! Don’t ya think?”

Jaded: “Merde! I THINK you’ve been writing too many Alice stories is what I THINK. And stop being such a Dom! I’ve got my own plans for Blu…AND Rayne for that matter. (Thinking) Oh stop pouting! Maybe I’ll send Windy in to check it out.”
