[CrimsonTide4]

Honeykiss stepped out of the car and waited for her sister to hand the car keys to the valet. THe sisters had finally found dresses early this afternoon. They had spent the rest of the afternoon at the spa. They had run into CT4 at the salon as well as several other women from the GC community. They had enjoyed a pre-masquerade soiree at the salon.


HK: Wow, this place looks fabulous. CT4 went all out.

D.COM: Yeah, I am loving this lighted waterfall. We will have to make sure to take plenty of pics tonight.

HK: Yeah. I wonder what will be on the menu.

D.COM: I hope there are some fruit trays.

HK: Let's head inside.

The two sisters proceed inside where they gasp in awe at the decorations. The grand ballroom has been decorated in crimson, gold, and black. It was an exquisite arrangement -- black tablecloths with crimson and gold centerpieces. There were red and yellow roses all around the room.

HK spied MzSportsLuva, Gina and TNXButterfly across the room headed towards her and D.COM. The group stood talking and checking out the brothas in the room. The food had not yet been set out so the ladies headed to the bar. Thankfully the drinks were free so HK knew she could indulge beyond her 3 drink limit.

Standing at the bar, HK spotted Toocute, her mother's neighbor for the last 20 years. Candygirl and toocute were friends sometimes but usually fell out after a night of playing bid whist. One time Candygirl had pulled out her knife on TooCute for reneging on a hand. They did not speak for 6 months over that one.

HK: Have you seen your mother yet?

D.COM: No, I wonder what she will be wearing?

HK: Is she bringing Dog Dog Bang Bang or one of her other menses?

D.COM: Chile, ain't no telling.

D.COM and HoneyKiss stood talking to their friends when TooCute approached. She had not yet put on her mask.

TooCute: Party over here!!

D.COM: Oh lawd.

TooCute: Ain't no party like a TooCute party because a TooCute Party don't STOP!!

HK: So TooCute did you have fun last night percolating?

TooCute: Chile, yes. This morning I woke up a little stiff and sore. So I soaked in some vinegar and feel a lot better.

All of a sudden, they hear a yell from the entrance.

Candygirl: OOOOOOOOOOH NO THE HEYALL YOU DON'T!! TooCute Mahalia Bertha Mae Jenkins, I know you did not come to this ball wearing the exact same dress as me!! Let me get my blade!! Low down cut throat scallywag.

HK and D.COM looked at each other and rolled their eyes in exasperation. As they head over to their mother, they spot CT4 walking up to Candygirl.

CT4: With all due respect, Ms. Candygirl I will not tolerate foolishness or drama up in my party. If you cannot respect that, you need to roll out. I will gladly refund your money if you wish to leave.

Candygirl: My apologies CT4. I did not mean to cause any ruckus. I remember you as a little baby when my mama used to babysit you. I will respect your event. Besides I look better in the dress than Ms. Toocute anyway.

HK: Mama, you be nice to Ms. TooCute. That's your friend.

Candygirl: Friend, HELL!!

D.COM: Look, we came to have fun not babysit and mediate all night. Now BEHAVE, young lady.

Candygirl: I am still the mama. I taught you 2 everything you know.

HK: Yeah mama that Tic Tac maneuver worked swell last night.

Candygirl: Really? Tell mama all about it!
