The Tower Of Learning

I remember when I was younger, poking my finger with a pin just to see if it would hurt, then when I got older I remember dancing with a girl other than my girlfriend at a party we were at just to see if she would get jealous. Now I’ve learned to not do things to see the results I suspect, because if I do, I almost always get what I expected.

– Bette Jacobs

And with the last notes tears poured from Bette’s eyes. She stood and clapped with everyone else. Tina said her thank you’s and made her way off stage and walked to where Bette was standing and threw her arms around her. Bette laughed into Tina’s hair and told her she was beautiful and amazing. They sat around the table congratulating Tina on a great performance. Tina just smiled and said thank you as she kissed Bette’s cheek. The girls sat around like old times, conversing and laughing at each others stupid comments or jokes. Tina smiled across at Alice who grinned back… It was a normal Planet evening…

Tina and Bette and the rest of the girls were laughing and singing along with the girls on stage. Then Alice looked at Shane who winked as the turned to Helena who all of a sudden had an impish grin. Ivan got back on stage and announced the next act.

Ivan: The next performance consists of three great women Alice, Shane and Helena!

The crowd went wild as Tina and Bette just raised their eyebrows and clapped. The three women got on stage with Alice on bass, Helena on guitar and Shane back on the drums and a few other girls on some more guitars. Alice got up to the mic and tapped it in perfect Alice style.

Alice: Hey everyone, we made our own rendition of a great song we love Personal Jesus. You’ll get it as we sing it.

The music started…
