"oh, i'm sorry, i thought you were jo. you won't tell, will you?"

"of course not!"piped ethan.

"hi, i'm sugar lizzie cane."

"hi, i'm gordita, and this here's chalupa."

"nice to meet you. you know, i'm not the only girl on here who
drinks. all the girls do. i'm just the one who always gets caught.
sweet jo says, if i get caught drinking one more time, i get
kicked out of the band. i always get the fuzzy end of the lolipop,
you see."she said all of this as she hid the flask in a strap
on her right leg. ethan was speechless."talk to you later, girls."

"byebye."said ethan.

as she left, gordo said."oh, i almost forgot. quick, let me
hold your boob."ethan handed him the fake breast, and patiently
waited for it to be reattached.

"oh that feels much better."said ethan.

"you're welcome."

"i never said thank you."

"DON'T ASK ME REATACH YOUR BOOBS NEXT TIME,
UNLESS YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THANK YOU!"

they walked back out, not realizing everyone could hear
what they were saying in there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

they had begun practicing their music. sweet jo noticed that two of
the people (gordita and chalupa) were out of tune. she waved her
conductor's wand."gordita and chalupa! stop! where was the last
place you girls played?"

"at a funeral home, ma'am."replied gordo.

"well spruce things up a bit!"

they began playing again. this, time lizzie was singing. she was
getting into the music, when her flask of gin dropped to the
floor. the music stopped.

"LIZZIE! I TOLD YOU IF I FOUND YOU WITH ANOTHER CONTAINER OF
ALCOHOL, YOU WERE TO LEAVE THE BAND IMMEDIATELY! girls, say your
last goodbyes to lizzie, for she will be leaving after this
gig."sweet jo furiously was about to throw the container of gin away.

"you better not throw my drink away!"replied gordita.

"this is your drink?"

"sure 'nuff is."

"well, i don't know what they taught you at the conservatory,
but in my band-"

"um, dear isin't this both of ours?"questioned samstalk.

"oh, whatever. anyway, gordita, get the picture?"
