Now or Never (Scott Wormer)

Nancy Sinatra

The girls sit at a booth in a dinner. Flora sits there with her head in her hands listening to Tina, who they called Teeny.

"Your idea of foreplay is A, candle at dinner and walk on the beach. B, making out on a bearskin rug at a local mountain cabin. C, watching a sexy movie. Or D, all of the above", Teeny reads out.

"B", Samantha says right away. "E, none of the above", Roberta says grimacing.

"Roberta", Teeny starts "that's not a possible answer", she states the obvious. Roberta looks away in defeat. "Then B, I guess" she mutters.

"Definitely A", Chrissy says counting the group's money. "Surprise surprise", Teeny jokes. Samantha smirks at Teeny. "I pick D all of the above." Teeny says, smiling.

"Surprise surprise", Chrissy initiates, Teeny. "I've got to say...playing sports together or E, like Roberta said. None of the above", Flora says smirking at Teeny, who just rolls her eyes.

"That's 107 dollars and 24 cents", Chrissy says and they all look at the money on the table.

"So how much more do we need?" Teeny asks, and Flora counts in her head. "23 more dollars and the treehouse is ours", Chrissy says so Flora stops calculating.

"I'd say the first night we get it we have a slumber party", Teeny suggests. Flora turns around to look out the window in boredom, but sees Samantha's mom.

"Va va boom", Flora says jokingly. "Oh Sam, get a load of your mom!" Roberta says looking at the window.

Samantha's mom crosses the street, dressed like Nancy Sinatra. She had shorts so short, you get nearly see everything and boots so tall, she could step over the Berlin wall.

"How short are those shorts!" Chrissy nags, and Teeny looks at her mom in admiration.

"How tall are those boots!" Teeny gushes. Samantha's mom struts across the street in a speed walk style. She hears low whistles from grown men and teenage boys.

"Wow..your mom is so cool", Teeny says and Samantha turns back to the table to change the conversation.

"Hey guys there's a full moon tonight! Festival for the spirits who come back to earth to walk among earth" Samantha says looking around spookily.

The waitress comes walking up to the table. "Four black cows, that'll be a dollar sixty boys." The waitress says sarcastically. Chrissy looks up and gulps, "we're girls" , she states the obvious. Flora rolls her eyes and kicks her under the table.

The waitress death stares the girls, "I know", she says annoyed. "She is so off!" Chrissy says as she bends her straw to put in her cup.

"Well what do you expect? She's a witch", Teeny says. "I swear! She's got voodoo dolls and everything...I saw" She insists. "And hear this...one of the dolls looked exactly like principal Winters and you know what? There was a needle sticking right in the middle of his heart. I saw it the morning before had his heart attack", Teeny says.

The waitress comes back, walking past the stupid wormers who were giggling,  and the girls quiet. Roberta sticks her hand out for change and the waitress glares at them as she gives it to them.

"So do we try another one tonight?" Samantha asks. "It didn't work last time and it's not gonna work this time", Chrissy says.

"Even if it doesn't, it should be fun", Flora insists. "it will work! This is the one night when the barrier between dead and the living can be broken. I read it in the encyclopedia of natural phenomenon", Sam says shrugging.

"You are so weird", Chrissy disses shaking her head. "I'm in" Teeny says. "Yeah me too!" Roberta agrees.

"Me three!" Flora says and the girls giggle.

"Roberta." Teeny states. "Not again", Flora says banging her head on the table loud enough for a few people to glance over.

Including the wormers, who giggled why slapping each others shoulders. "Your a woman of the verge, although sensuality is yet to be tapped. It is like a volcano waiting to erupt. Woah..everybody look out for Roberta" Teeny jokes.

"That's crap", Roberta states and Flora, and Samantha share a giggle. "Samantha, you walk the fine line between romanticim and sex appeal. Don't be afraid to take a plunge, you might surprise yourself" Teeny reads off and Samantha rolls her eyes.

"I'll keep that in mind", she jokes.

"Chrissy, let go of your inhibitions before you dry up like a prune"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chrissy asks. The girls all stifle laughs.

"Flora", Teeny starts. "Oh lord my savior help me", Flora says out loud for the wormers who were standing by the jukebox listening to laugh again.

"You are a very lucky girl, you shall find love very soon if not already. Keep your eyes open and waiting", Teeny says and the girls giggle, punching her shoulder just like the wormers had done previously.

"Great I don't care", Flora mutters. "now me. Teeny, you are a sexual magnet attracting men from the four corners of the world, pace yourself", Teeny says smiling at her magazine.

"Its probably legitimate", she says and Flora sighs. "I hope not, I'm only 13", she sighs.
