“Cass, this
place is horrible. Do you know they don’t have chocolate here? I can’t order
out any food, they restrict it. The jell-O even tastes funny, I’m quite sure
they drug it to keep us docile.” Tina covered
her mouth, trying to hide the giggles that were flooding out and Cass
kept a stone face and said seriously.

“You don’t say. What drugs do
you think? Something good? I think I’ll find the jell-O before you check
out…” CassCass grabbed her in
with a sinful grin on her pretty lips.

“Um, can I have some Jell-O? Eliza,
what flavor was the best?” She asked and the nurse was giving her a look,
wondering if she was an escapee from the psych ward. She pulled away from
Cassandra and Cass didn’t notice, she did see the look of
amusement on Tina‘s face and she decided that
getting her to laugh was much more important than what this woman thought of
her.

“Orange darling, it was the
one that ‘kicked’ the hardest.” Eliza stated,
and she looked up at Tina, who was bright red
with laughter as she felt a tear trickling down her cheek. This was priceless.

“Orange it is, if you’d be a dear?”
Cass asked and the nurse decided to play along and she nodded
and walked away briskly. Leaving them laughing at their own antics. Tina looked at Cass, and felt that connection again, the woman was so
easy to get along with. How could anyone not like her?

“That was the worst movie I’ve
ever seen. Not that I’d seen the first one, so the story was difficult to
follow, who is Riddick again?” Bette asked, and Candace
shook her head, sucking on the mutant coke that she’d bought, and Bette
was sure that there were 4 liters of liquid in the cup, but Candace was still sucking on the luke warm drink.
She’d yet to venture into the bathroom either, the woman had a bladder like a
vice.
