Linna had put away the things she had bought at the mall and was laying next to Priss half asleep. Priss was laying on the bad with the phone on her chest hopping it would start ringing.

"Is this Priss? I'm in trouble. It's me Sil."

The girls' words kept ringing through Priss' head making her think more and more about her. Her voice sounded familiar to her but she couldn't place it to a name. And aside from "Sil" she had no clue who she was. By now she had forgotten about taking a nap and was just lying on the bed, waiting.

"Are you still thinking about that girl?" Linna asked when she couldn't hear Priss snoring like she always did when she slept.

"Yeah." Priss said. "She seems to know me and she said she was in trouble."

Linna rolled onto her side and looked at Priss and the phone on her chest.

"She's probable just an old fan or something."

"Then why would she say that she was in trouble?"

"So you would listen to her."

Priss just sighed and looked over at Linna.

"Something's… wrong I can feel it."

Linna rolled her eyes and turned her back to Priss and tried to go to sleep. Priss continued to lay there long after Linna had fallen asleep just waiting for the phone to light up again.

Later that day-

The phone had remained silent throughout the whole day and was starting to make Priss worry that whoever it was was in real trouble and desperately needed her help. It was already six in the evening when Linna came out of her shopping induced coma that she had been in. The first thing she did was see if Priss was still holding onto the phone. She was. Only she was fast asleep with the phone laying loosely in her hand next to her. Linna took the phone out of Priss's hand and reached over her body to place it on the nightstand. She almost dropped the phone when it suddenly started ringing just before she set it down and instinctively she hit the receive button before it woke Priss up.

"Hello." She said putting the phone to her ear.

"Who am I talking to?" A woman asked.

"This is Linna. And who are you."

"I'm a friend of Priss' I need to talk to her it's important."

"Priss is asleep you'll have to call her back."

"Please let me tal…"

"No!"

Linna hung up before she lost her temper and woke Priss up. She shut off the phone and placed it on the night stand before it could start ringing again. She slid off the end of the bed and headed into the small bathroom and got into the shower. It was the same weekly routine with Priss and Linna, one would take the other out shopping then out to dinner at a restaurant of their choice. Priss could guess where Linna wanted to go long before Linna would say where. She always wanted to go to Islands, a local Hawaiian hamburger place that is popular in the USA. Linna was predictable; she would get the Hawaiian burger which was a large hamburger patty with teriyaki sauce, lettuce, tomato and a fresh slice of pineapple. She would have a tray of fries all to herself, two baskets of chips and salsa and one or two Pina Colada's. And then to top it off knowing her she'd puke in the parking lot thin bitch all the way home about why Priss let her eat so much.

Linna finished her shower and stepped into the main part of the trailer to get dressed when she heard Priss' voice.

"Who is this? Please tell me." She said. "Are you there? Damn-it!"

"Was it her again?" Linna asked dripping water on the floor.

"Yeah it was."

"Get anywhere this time?"

"Same thing. She is in trouble and needs my help."

"Well at least she's consistent. But lets not let this ruin our night out ok."

"It won't"

Linna grabbed a change of clothes and a towel out of a laundry basket and went back into the bathroom to get ready. Priss looked down at her phone and sighed.

'Who are you?' she thought before changing into some of her better clothes..

"Are you ready?" Linna asked stepping out of the bathroom.

"Yeah."

"I want to go to Islands tonight.

"Just like the last five times you got to pick" Priss snickered.

"What's your point?"

"Let's go. Your driving."

Islands restraint-

As if it was pre-ordained Linna was polishing off her second basket of chips and salsa when their main course arrived. Priss snickered seeing the exact combo that she always got right down to the Pina Colada. Linna started wolfing down her meal but Priss was only picking at her fires with a fork and tossing them around.

"What's wrong Priss?" Linna asked with a mouth full of fries.

"I'm sorry Linna. Its just that something isn't right about that girl."

"Your telling me. She's ruining our date. You don't even know who she is."

"I know."

"Look Priss. How about we ask Linna to hack into the phone company and see if she can track down the caller's number and identity tomorrow."

"Yeah that's a good idea."

"Thank you. Now would you at least pretend that we are a loving couple out on a date?"

"If I pull that off I should get an award."

"Shut up and eat or I'm going to feed you like a baby and embarrass."

Priss laughed and started to eat. She would have to work double fast to catch up to Linna. But Linna started to slow down towards the end of the meal and Priss could almost see a power bar like in a nuclear power plant above Linna's head. And it was about to reach critical mass. Fifteen minutes later Priss was leaning up against a street light as Linna was dubbed over beside a bush unloading most of her meal on one long heave.

"Oh man." Linna said standing up right.

'And three, two, one, now."

"Why did you let me eat so much when you know this is what happens?" Linna asked right on schedule.

"Would you have gone easy if I'd said something? No you wouldn't you take it as a challenge."

"Still you should have tried to stop me."

"Come on lets go home so you can get cleaned up and we can finish our date."

Linna and Priss got into Linna's car and headed back to the trailer. Linna got into the shower and started to get cleaned up. Priss sat down on her bed and picked up her guitar and started to play an old familiar song that she had almost forgotten. She had never finished the song and would have loved to sing it live before quitting the business. To her surprise she started to sing and she couldn't stop.

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark. For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart. To weave by picking up the pieces that remain. Melodies of life love's lost refrain.

She almost dropped the guitar when the memories of someone that was very dear to her came flooding back. She was one of the reasons Priss quit singing even though she had died years before she quit Priss never really let her go. The song was a song Priss had begun writing for her but she died before Priss had finished.

'She didn't die you asshole.' Priss thought setting the guitar on its rack. 'You killed her.'

Linna shut off the shower and quickly brushed her teeth before walking into the main part of the trailer still dripping.

"Ready or not Priss here I…"

Linna froze when she saw Priss with her head lowered and softly sobbing.

"Priss? What's wrong?"

She sat down next to Priss and lifted her head to look into her misty eyes.

"Are you ok."

"Yeah I'll be fine." Priss said drying her eyes. "Just brought up some painful memories that's all."

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah but I'm really tiered so I guess the grand finally is off for tonight but I'll make it up to you."

Yeah ok." Linna said as Priss kissed her and started to undress.

She stood up and walked into the bathroom to dry off then climbed into bed with Priss and shut off the lights. Priss tried to fall asleep but the memories of her friend just wouldn't leave her alone.
