Rock Me Gently
Alderson-Broaddus College, Priestley Hall
Shane, Dana, Tina, and Bette decided to spend Friday night at Alice and Jenny’s room since their suitemates had all gone home for the weekend and they could have some privacy. They sat around eating pizza, playing cards, talking about how exhausting the first three days of freshman year had been, and just getting to know more about each other.
At one point everyone started talking about their pets back home, including childhood pets that have long since crossed the Rainbow Bridge*. They all shared fond memories of these friends, except for Tina who was trying to not get noticed.
"T," Bette started, "don’t you wanna talk about your very first pet?"
Tina stayed very quiet and began to blush. She wanted to crawl into a hole and die that very second. She mumbled, "Um, Bette, I don’t think that one counts."
"Bullshit! For it not to have counted you sure treated it like it was an extra limb or something," Bette said as she rolled her eyes.
Tina shot Bette a death glare. Shane just sat there air-drumming with her new sticks and smiled to herself at this interaction. ‘Any day now, they’ll wake up and smell the coffee,’ she thought.
"Come on, TK. We’re all friends. Just tell us!" said Alice followed by a chorus of "Yeahs!"
"No way! Bette, you started it, so you can finish it," said Tina as she started to get up to grab another Mountain Dew from Jenny’s fridge, and find something to hang herself with in the bathroom.
"Oh no you don’t!" laughed Bette as she grabbed Tina by the waist and dragged her back down to the floor. Tina landed with an "umph!" and Bette got her in a leg lock to keep her down while the others smiled and shook their heads at these two lifelong friends. "I may need you to fill in the blanks seeing as this was so long ago and all the times you ran your trumpet into my head during field show practices may have given me permanent memory loss."
Tina stuck out her tongue and retorted, "At least I never rammed you in the ass with a trombone slide in the middle of a concert for the Governor!" Tina chuckled and quickly looked away. Regardless of their antics over the years, they were best friends as well as serious musicians.

Ugh, I knew I forgot to add something in the author notes. A-B College is real. I graduated from there in 2002. It’s about an hour from Morgantown, WV in a town called Philippi.
That was really good Lament nice one =)
I enjoyed this and hope you continue.
Hey Lament… LOL like I was much help in the title department… But thanks for the thanks anyway! LMFAO! Oh Lament, now I can’t wait for the whole story!!!! This is just great.. A PET ROCK? Who would think of that?
“Baby rocks” you’re so funny Lament! But defenitely the part I liked the most was when Tina realized Bette is her real rock. “two thumbs up*
That’s so sweet. I can imagine baby Tina and baby Bette. They’re a cute couple back then, heehee.

Hey Lami, this story rocks! hehe
Pet rock!! That’s great. You’re story was wonderful, so funny and sweet. Ahh, pet rocks, what makes it funnier is that people actually went out and bought them. Where the seventies that boring? I dunno, but its funny anyway. Great stuff! :P
So cute! Hey, that’a a great start for a longer story…
Lamentamini we have been commenting on the same fics all day. Now, I find it totally COOL to comment on yours. I liked it.
This was very cute.
Love it when you write, you put a lot of fun back in our life. Love the Tina and Bette child hood and the pet rock. thanks

how cute a rock? i never listened about pet rock well this is a post from lament then i can expect read a lot of humor and original! this is so good and i am so happy to comment in a post from you!
Lamentamini, great chapter, NOW for the real story. Please continue.
That was funny and cute!
As a former band geek, this one hit the spot. Of course Shane would be a percussionist. ;)
LOL! I like it.
Lamentamini I really enjoyed reading this story. It was funny and yet you could already feel the love that Bette and Tina shared. Yodah already knew that they were in love and Alice was beginning to get the drift of their togetherness. A pet rock is better than a pet lizards. I had a few of those. Hey, you really do write very well.
I like the idea of them being together since childhood, and STILL TOGETHER! Very sweet! True love prevails! Thanks!
