“NO DRINKING!  Tina is going to skin me alive.”  Peggy bellowed, and the two girls giggled.

            “I won’t tell if you won’t
tell….”  Daisy called back, rushing
down the stairs and Ro turned, shrugged, and said.

            “I know nothing.”  Peggy waited until they were gone, and let out a loud
laugh, “Ah to be young again.”  She drank
from the bottle, letting the door swing closed as she slowly made her way back
to the party.

~*~*~*~*~*

            Shane and Dana rolled around on the bed, exhausted and
sweaty, but giggling like two kids. 
Their fingers caressed each other’s skin, teasing and rubbing.  Dana‘s long athletic fingers kept finding Shane‘s nipples, flicking them as Shane muttered and sighed.

            “Oh god I can’t breathe
anymore.”  Dana smiled, touching Shane‘s face and Shane smiled, kissing the fingertips.  They lie down next to each other, hugging and
hold each other as Dana pulled the covers back over them. 

            Shane blinked, her head suddenly pounding and
she moved off Dana.  On her knees on the bed, she
rocked back and forth.  She pushed the
covers off her lithe body, suddenly dizzy and in such gut wrenching pain.

            “Shane?  SHANE?” 
Dana began to panic as she saw the look of
horror and pain in Shane‘s face,

            “Ah ***** ***** ***** it hurts…”  Shane whimpered, as she dove into the bed head first, pain
jabbing into her brain.  Dana‘s face held a mixture of surprise and horror;
she’d never seen Shane like this before, was this how Shane lost her sight every time it went away?

            “That’s it; you are going to see a
doctor, right now.”  Dana almost yelled grabbing her clothes and Shane caught her hand.  Her breath labored.

            “No…  No…  Please
don’t leave…”  Shane begged and Dana grabbed her, pulling her into her
body.  Kissing her shoulders and Shane shuddered.

            “Not ever going to leave…  No baby, I’m so scared…  I need you to be ok.”  Dana whispered, rocking Shane gently.

            “I can’t see….”  Shane swallowed, her eyes again sightless and dark, her
vision totally gone.  Dana took hold of her face, staring into her
eyes and seeing nothing there, the fire was gone.  Her sight was lost. 

            “When is this doctor’s
appointment?”  Dana asked calmly, her panic suddenly gone,
cupping her beautiful face in her hands. 
She could deal with this; she would be strong for Shane.
