“Ro?”  Abby asked and Robbi looked up from the magazine she was reading.  It was a year old but the news inside it was new to Roberta.  Her grey eyes were solemn as if she were reading something of utmost importance, but she was just reading The Advocate.  Abby saw that the subscription slip read Kerry Weaver.

“Yup.”  She said and Abby rolled over to her, Ro was lying on her stomach on a gurney flipping the pages of the old magazine.  Neela followed suit wondering what Abby was up too.  Neela had learned long ago that Abby was someone with an odd sense of humor.

“Want to play truth or dare?”  Abby asked almost seductively as she leaned over on the gurney and stared into Robbi’s eyes.  At that, Ray popped up from the stretcher next to Robbi, looking like a macabre vision, having had a sheet pulled over his head.                                                              

“Count me in.”  He said, not pulling the sheet down and Ro laughed shaking her head at his antics, her hair loose falling into her eyes.  Abby had a glint in her eye and Neela began to wondering just where this was all heading.

ERERERERER

“You actually kissed a man?”  Neela was asking Ray who nodded with a lopsided grin.  He was very revealing when he was having fun.  He was also disarmingly charming. 

“It was a dare Neela.  It wasn’t as if I had a ***** relationship.  It was a kiss and I won 50 bucks from that kiss.”  Ray said with a sarcastic undertone.  “So you’ve never kissed a woman?”  Ray asked Neela, the game had turned to a game of just ask a question.  Not too many dares could be carried out in the ER without injuring someone or pissing off someone else.  The nurses were not giving each other pedicures and manicures by the nurse’s station.

“No.”  Neela made a face; she was in a wheelchair as was Ray, who was popping wheelies with it.  He was rather good at balancing it, his tongue sticking out from the corner of his mouth, as he’d do so.

Abby and Robbi were on side-by-side stretchers, Abby with her arms behind her head and Ro in the same pose.  Both dark blonde-haired women with their hair loose, Abby’s dark eyes were intent and Ro’s grey eyes were mischievous.
