Sorry about the absence. I hope to be back by September 15 October 6, with a full explanation. Or, at least, a decent excuse.
Lizzie asked Banny to come in. Banny apologized about knocking, only Jessica the secretary had already gone home. He was just looking for Lissa.
"It's okay, though," Lissa said. "We're not in a hurry. Banny, sit. Join us."
"I thought you'd wanted-" The short thin woman physically pushed the big man into a chair. "Ooof! I guess we can stay. Hi, Lizzie. Lizzie, have you ever done something that seemed to make sense at the time, but later you realize it wasn't what you thought it would be?"
"Yeah. I can think of one or two times. Why?"
"Uh... I don't know. You'll have to ask Lissa."
"Listen," Lizzie said, "I'm stuck here until Vicky's ready. Can you two stick around, just talk? Good. Hey, Banny, Lissy ever tell you how she and I met? No?"
"I was about nine," Lissa began. "This big kid, must have been about thirteen, she'd been teasing me, so I started hitting her."
"Lissy was kicking her ass. I saw, and I thought she was gonna kill her. So I interrupted."
"Nearly got your own ass kicked, girl. I don't know how you managed, but you stopped me. You talked me down. And get this, Banny: She got me to apologize. I still can't believe it. I apologized. Then the other girl said, 'thanks, Fatso', and I held her down while Lizzie beat the crap outta her."
"We've been friends ever since. Through all the times I moved, through Lissy's various foster homes... We learned to put on make-up together, talked about our boyfriends together... Banny, wanna hear about The Great Lesbian Experiment?" Banny said yes, at a pitch only audible to chipmunks.
"The wha?" Lissa wondered. "Oh, yeah. Oh, you wouldn't dare!!"
"Okay. Lissy and I just finished watching this movie about lesbians. We were maybe fifteen or so. Anyway, Lissy wondered how lezzies kissed, was it better than a boy, where you put your hands-"
"Except Lizzie was the one asking those questions. Notice how she still remembers. So we were at my house at the time, and my parents at the time weren't home at the time. So she talked me into... experimenting. You know how she can do that."
Banny gripped the armrests of his chair. White-knuckle tight.
"I talked you, huh?" Lizzie laughed. "And did I talk you into getting into the liquor cabinet? And did I talk you into drinking all that Peppermint Schnapps? And did I talk you into letting me drink all that vodka and orange juice? No, it was pineapple."
"You did. You were one hell of a smooth-talker. Where were we? Oh, yeah. Lizzie wanted to lip-lock me." She ignored the yelp of protest. "So we fiddled around, tried to get in position, we were on the couch first-"
"If I remember, we decided to try it standing." Lizzie stood up, came around Lissa. She stood up. They put their arms around each other. "If I remember, her hands kept groping my ass."
"Because you remember what you wanted to happen, not what happened."
The slightly heavyset blonde woman (was she thinner now than two weeks ago?) was about two inches taller than the thin eurasian woman. Though they hugged, and their chests were together, their pelvises were still a little apart. They both looked at Banny. His eyes were wide as hubcaps.
Lissa whisered, "we leaned in to kiss... "
"...And she started giggling."
"Nuh uh! It was you giggling." She giggled, as did Lizzie. "Anyway, I couldn't help it. Your breath smelled like pineapple. And that was it. The moment was gone. That was The Great Lesbian Experiment." They released. "Sorry to disappoint you, Banny."
"That's okay," said Banny. "I can work with what I got."
"What do you mean, you can-" Lissa was interrupted by a knock on the door. Banny opened it and Victoria came in quickly. She was dressed quietly and elegantly but the young brunette practically buzzed with excitement, like a child on Christmas Eve. "Is it time yet? Is it time? Please?"
"Yes, Vicky. It is time," Lizzie said. "Banny, Lissy, take off your Rings of Beneficience, give them to me, and go to sleep."
Banny and Lissa took off their Rings of Beneficience, gave them to Lizzie, and slumped to the floor, asleep.
