Alice is laying in the bed. Her wrists are tied to the bed post, her eyes are blindfolded and she feels dirty. She has lost count on the number of days she has been in the bed, but she hasn’t forgotten how many “men” have attempted to defile her flower.

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOP!” Ann, her evil twin sister practices in the mirror while throwing up the sign. Ann turns the side and practices raising her hand and doing the call real loud. “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOP!”

“I hope they find out you’re a perp! First you steal my identity, then you bring up stuff in the past to ruin my life. Why Ann? Why?”

“Cause,” Ann says in a southern twang, “when you got a man like Stephano who has big hands and big feet you’re liable to do anything.”

“Even betray your own sister.”

“Girl don’t worry, when all this is over, I’ll break you off a little sumptin’ sumptin’. I can pull this off, I just need a little practice.” Ann practices raising the sign and the call, getting worse and worse by the minute instead of getting better, “hmmp. Need a little more harmony.”

“But do you know what you are doing? Perping Delta Sigma Theta is serious. All them members they have, that’s why I quit doing it. You never know who you are going to run into. Be my luck someone from GCU be in Jamaica next week and they kick your ass thinking its me.”

“I wish them broads would put their hands on me and try to tear off my ‘nalia. All this money I spent on T-Shirts and Pins and Figurines, hsit, I should have saved the receipt so I could get a tax return.”

“They are going to get you!”

“And what are you going to about it? That’s what I thought! Alex.”

This big burly man comes into the room and lays beside Alice.

“Now remember my instructions,” Ann whispers in his ear, “you are just supposed to scare her, not hurt her.”

Alex nods his head up and down, as Ann throws up the sign and call and walks out the door.

Alice is whimpering and whining in the bed. She doesn't know what to expect from this Alex creature.

The tourture started with Anthony, who had a thing for stroking and caressing her head.

Then there was Brian, who was obviously heavy set and caused her to quiver and shake everytime she was on the bed.

Carlos taunted her, Daniel teased her, and if it weren't for the fact that she was tied up, should wouldn't deny that Ezell knew how to please her.

Felton threw ice cubes at her, tourturing her to the point that she thought she was going crazy.

Gabriel had a gas problem, he smelled so bad that she passed out from the fumes.

Herb was heaven, Hanson was hell.

But it was Issac who knew how to treat a girl so well.

Joeseph wanted to be touched, as if she could if she wanted to.

Kevin wanted to be kissed.

Lorenzo wanted to be the man she remembered, even though he wasn't missed.

Martin and Nate and Osario,

Paul, Raul, Saul, and Tomareo

All these men in the house,

All from near to far-ee-o

Ulyseses was country, reminded her of the states.

Vincent was from the west, wild and rough and didn't feel great.

Will liked to punch

Xavier liked to kick

Youroba liked to talk smack and pick

and Zion, but Zion, that MoFo was the worst.

He was the evil combination of all three,

He was the one who stayed with her for a week,

He was the one she kissed, only to be called a hoe,

He was the one who untied her, only to be restricted and not let go.

He was full of games; mental, physical and all.

He was the one who made her wish that she could roll up in a ball.

Needless to say that she wasn't in shock when Alex untied her hands from the bed post, she expected such to begin the trials and tribulations. They could only get worse, she suspected. Alice sat up and was very uncomfortable because her body felt tired. She rubbed her wrist and looked at the beautiful man who resembled her ex-husband.

"Today is your lucky day," Alex said with a grin, "cause today, I am letting you go."

Alice tried to get up, but her legs were asleep.

"You don't have to see this room ever again," Alex swooned in his Billy Dee Williams voice, went to the bed and picked her up like a gentleman, and carried her out of the room.

Rain Man: But, but, I have not ate yet!

CT4: I'll fix you a plate to go.

CT4 rushes to the kitchen and fixes RAIN MAN a quick plate to go. She catches a peek at MYSTERY MAN sitting in the shadows of her sunroom. She rushes back into her dining room and throws the to go plate at Rain Man. She walks him to the door.

CT4: See ya.

She slams the door in Rain Man's face and walks back into the dining room. She sits down next to Kelli.

Kelli: I miss him.

CT4: I know. I miss him too. He was like a brother to me.

Kelli: Lately he has been on my mind like crazy. It's like craaaaazy. I cannot eat or sleep. I should hate him like hell for leaving me. If I were to see him again, I would stab him with a rusty butter knife and then hug the hell out of him.

CT4: Girl, I would be right there with you. I would hug him and then kick him in his knee.

KElli: Girl I am just tired. Tired of being alone, tired of settling, tired of RAIN MAN. . .

CT4: Girl, I know but you know you always got me. But I know nothing like the love of a good man, the RIGHT MAN. . .

Kelli: Yeah and HE was the one. He was my soul mate. Spending time with him was like spending time with myself. I don't think I will ever be able to love like that again. What we had wsa special. I could not even begin to put it in words.

CT4: Do you think he was unhappy?

Kelli: No, I don't. I just wish I knew what made him up and leave.

CT4: Do you still love him?

KElli: Yeah.

CT4: If he ever came back, would you take him back.

Kelli: I don't know.. . /

CT4: You just said that you love him and will never love like that again. So if he returns and still feels for you what you feel for him, what will you do? Be honest because I know exactly how you feel.

Kelli: But what will everyone say? HE LEFT ME! HE HURT ME! How could I just pick up where we left off?

CT4: FUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGG what everyone else says or thinks!!! DO YOU! BE HAPPY!! Love that man and let him love you! Forgive him and then love him.

Kelli: I'm not sure if I can.

CT4: Girl if I ever have with a man what you had with him, I would be able to for the rest of my life. I saw the 2 of you together. You were like every real love story come to life. Folks write love stories every day, but YOU LIVED IT!! Don't let your pride stand in the way of loving him.

Kelli: You talk like you know he is coming bacl tomorrow or something.

CT4 (fake laugh): Girl naw I just want you to be open to love. And if it comes back to you, I want you to GRAB IT!!

Kelli: Okay I will.

Was the mystery man listening? Does he know that Kelli does not want Rain Man? Will he get his woman? Will she let him get her?

Kelli knocked on CT4's door the next morning. Ct4 opened the door wearing her deluxe Victoria's Secret boxer set -- crimson colored.

CT4: Girl, it is 8:00 AM. . . .

Kelli: I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamed that he and I were in bed together and he held me like he used to. Girl, it was so real. I could smell him.

CT4:

Kelli: Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

CT4 thinks to herself, Imma kill him. No he did not get in bed with that girl. Laaaaaaaaaawd!! I need to get her up outta my house so I can cuss him out.

CT4: Girl, love has got you bound.

Kelli (laughs): I guess so, but I have never had a dream like this before. Usually I just dream of us seeing each other again. What do you think my dream meant?

CT4: That you are sleepy. . .that he cannot sleep without you. Shoot girl I slept all through my dream interpretations class in college. Maybe you should go home and get on the Internet and research what your dream means.

Kelli: Yeah let me go get dressed. What do you have planned for today?

CT4: Girl, I am about to work on book number 2 -- a murder mystery!!



Will CT4 kill mystery man? Did Mystery Man sleep with Kelli? What does her dream mean? Why did CT4 SLEEP through her class on dream interpretation?

[tnxbutterfly]

Tnxbutterfly and her best friend,Dionysus were in a secluded booth at their favorite restaurant Tre Expensive. They had just finished placing their order with the waitress. Tnxbutterfly was filling Dionysus about her blow up with RainMan that happened 2 days before.

Dio: So what did you say when RM demanded that you tell him why you were so against proposing to Kelli?

TNX: (sighing) What could I tell him?

Dio: Oh, I don't know........The truth perhaps

TNX: Yeah I could, but then that means I wouldn't have anything to say during the ceremony

Dio: (confused) What

TNX: Well, you know the part of the ceremony that goes "If anybody can find just cause why these to people shouldn't be married, speak now or forever hold your peace"

Dio: Yeah, what about it

TNX: Well, if I tell RainMan how I feel about him now, I'd have to keep quiet during that part.

Dio: I still don't know what you're talking about

TNX: If I'm going to make RM mine, then I have to do everything in my power to stop the wedding. (pausing to take a sip of water) And if it means, reavling my feelings to him during the actual ceremony, then that's what I'll do.

Dio: Gurrrrrrrl, you won't. I thought the two of you were best friends.

TNX: We are best friends.

Dio: You know it would kill him if he found out.

TNX: (sighing) Yeah, I know. I don't want to have to resort to that, but I can't allow this wedding to take place.

Dionysus shook her head. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Usually, tnxbutterfly, was the most level-headed person in GC. This didn't sound like her friend at all.

Dio: You still didn't answer my question. What did you tell him?

Tnx: I told him that I was happy for him,but I wish he would slow down and make sure this was really what he wanted.

Dio: What did he say about that?

Tnx: He said that he didn't think I was being sincere and that he couldn't believe that I was being so unsupportive. It got really ugly from there. And it ended with him stroming our of my apartment

Dio: (under her breath) I don't blame him. (out loud) So what happens now?

Tnx: I don't know. I supose I need to talk to him

Before Dioysus can respond, Tnxbutterfly cell phone rings

Tnxbutterfly: Hello?

RainMan: We need to talk

HoneyKiss walked into the club already gyrating her hips to the beat of B2K's BUMP BUMP BUMP. Her girlfriends had called her up tonight determined to get her out of the house. She had been laying on the couch snoozing and watching Thin Line Between Love and Hate for the hundredth time when TNXBUTTERFLY had called her.


**flashback**
*phone rings*

HK (sleep in her voice): Hello.
TNXBUTTERFLY: Wake yo punk boooooooty up!! Girl it is a FRIDAY NIGHT!! Get offa da couch and get dressed!! We are going out!
HK: Going out? For what?
MzSportsLuva(crunk voice): To tear da club up!!
HK: MzSportsLuva, I am toooooo tired.
MzSportsLuva: Well get you some Mountain Dew or something. Turn on your SHAKE WHAT YO MAMA GAVE YOU CD and get dressed.
Gina1201: We will be there in one hour. Don't put on work clothes. PUT on FEMALE MACK CLOTHES. Put on "Yo man is looking at me" gear.
TNX: Don't forget to brush your teeth!!

***return to the present**

The ladies headed over to the bar to get their poison.
HK: Water please!!
MzSportsLuva: Bartender, keep your water and bring 2 pink panties.
Gina: Make that 3
TNX: Heck, make that 4.

The bartender, a male model moonlighting as a bartender, was glad to see some women who actually looked like women in the place. He was checking out HoneyKiss and wishing he could dance with her.

HoneyKiss peeped the bartender peeping at her and giggled. She began to enjoy herself even more. She was going to dance til she hurt herself or somebody up in the club tonight.

GC on the Lake was full tonight with almost everybody from GC. HoneyKiss spotted LibraSoul dancing with a tall looking brotha mighty close. The DJ began to play "Percolator" and HoneyKiss spied TooCute on the dance floor trying to learn how to do it after all of this time. HoneyKiss was doing her best suppressing her laughter at the sight of TooCute dancing. TooCute still liked to do the prep and the robot.

HoneyKiss was sipping on her drink contentedly when a man appeared behind her. She could feel his body heat from behind. Startled, she turned around. She looked into the most beautiful gray eyes that she had ever seen. They spoke using only their eyes and then headed to the dance floor.

HoneyKiss and Gray Eyes danced for the next two hours without taking a break or even talking. They had a good chemistry that made others stare at them. HoneyKiss was intrigued by this man of mystery who was FINE. She wanted to call Dr. DeltaQTE to tell her to put him in her "CAUSE YOU'RE MY BLACK BROTHA" book, but she could not tear herself away from him.

They were still dancing when Gray Eyes' phone rang. He answered it and said, "I'm on my way." He touched HoneyKiss on her waist. He bent over and kissed her on her mouth. She swooned. He turned and walked off the dance floor and out of the club.

HoneyKiss stood in the middle of the dance floor, not seeing anyone or hearing anything. She stared at the door that Mr. Gray Eyes had walked out of. She began to move to the door after him. She walked out of the door. She began to run, calling "MR. Gray Eyes!! Mr. Gray Eyes!!" She was so caught up in looking for him that she did not realize how badly it was raining outside. Her girls had followed her outside and encircled her with hugs as she stood in the rain crying.


Who is Mr. Gray Eyes? Where did he come from? Where did he leave and go? Will he come back for HoneyKiss? Will they ever see each other again? Does he have big hands and big feet?

HoneyKiss walked into her home that night still damp from standing outside in the rain like Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption after he escaped from prison. She walked upstairs and put on some pajamas and blowdried her hair after rubbing some Kera Kare Silk ~n~Seal serum on her hair to keep it from frizzing.

It was 2:30 in the morning but she could not sleep. She could not get her mind off of those gray eyes. She was in love and all it took was 2 hours of dancing. She turned on the stereo and heard the opening lines of Earth Wind and Fire's "Would You Mind?" which was the first slow song she danced to with Mr. Gray Eyes. She began to cry again as she replayed him walking out of the club. She turned off the stereo and laid down on her bed holding her stuffed bear, Cappucino. She finally dozed off and dreamed of her dancing with Mr. Gray Eyes on a beach in the Caribbean, but he ran off again into the ocean and she followed him, but she drowned.

HoneyKiss woke from her dream soaked in her sweat. She sat on the side of the bed taking deep cleansing breaths when the phone rang. It was her sister, D.COM.

D.COM: Did I wake you?

HK1974: No, I just woke up from a bad dream.

D.COM: Do you want to talk about it?

HK1974: No, that's okay.

D.COM: Hey, I called you last night but you were not home.

HK1974: Oh, I went out last night with Gina and TNXButterfly to GC on the Lake. It seemed like everybody and their mother was up in that joint.

D.COM: OUR mother wasn't there, was she?

HK1974: No, Candygirl was not there last night. Thank God. You know how she likes to do her old school chants during songs. Remember at her last birthday party when she was hooching and cooching up in the corner with Dog Dog Bang Bang. I was so embarrassed especially since Dog Dog Bang Bang is missing 90% of his teeth.

D.COM: Talking to him guarantees two things: facial showers and laughter.

HK1974: I met a man last night D.

D.COM: Aaaaaaaaaw soookie soookie now. Tell me tell me.

HK1974: Girl he is fine!!

D.COM: Smack yo mama fine.

HK1974: FINNER than THAT!!

D.COM: OOOOOOOOOO chile, what's his name?

HK1974 (wails): I don't knoooooooooooow. He got a phone call and dipped out on me before I could ask.

D.COM: Maybe your breath was KUNG FOO FIGHTING and he couldn't take it anymore!!

HK1974: Nope, I kept doing my discreet Tic Tac move. You know turn my back and give him some booty action while I throw a Tic Tac in my mouth. . .

(CT4 laughs in the audience and writes that down for future reference)

D.COM: Heeeeeeeelllllllllll naw. Did Mama CandyGirl teach you that?

HK1974: Who else? You know our mama has ghetto all up in her. What other 49 year old woman you know carries a switchblade with her at all times?

D.COM: Well listen I wanted to call and see if you wanted to go shopping with me today. I still need to find a dress to wear to CT4's masquerade ball tonight. Did you ever find anything to wear?

HK1974: No I never did. I don't even want to go now.

D.COM: You are GOING! So get your funky booty up and get showered and be ready in one hour. I am not playing with you. You know my rule.

HK1974: Yes I know, 2 toots and then you keep rolling. I remember that time I had to run after your car for half a block. Skanky scallywag heffa.

D.COM: I tooted and I called you when I was 2 blocks away. You said you were ready, but you lied.

HK1974: I had to run down the street with my shoes in my hands because my toes were still drying.

D.COM: 60 minutes, time is ticking. . .

HK1974: Bye, drive SLOOOOOOOW.

CT4 walked Kelli to the door and hugged her goodbye.

CT4: Don't forget about the party tonight! You betta come in here dressed to kill.

Kelli: Chiiiiiiile, I am going to be working it with my voluptuousness.

CT4: Don't hurt nobody now.

CT4 closes the door and rushes to find the Mystery Man. He is laying in the first floor guest bedroom pretending to sleep. CT4 grabs a pillow and proceeds to beat the CHIT out of him. He pretends to wake up.

MM: Whaaaaa Whaaaaa

CT4: You low azz bastid! Why did you sleep with her last night?

MM: Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan I could not help it. I only meant to lay with her for about half an hour but I fell asleep and slept til about 6 in the morning. It hurt me to walk away from her.

CT4: Not as much as you have hurt her these past 2 years. But listen up, I got a plan for you. Tonight, I am holding a masquerade ball here at the house. This is your chance to get back in her presence. She is thirsty for you. . .

MM: Yeah I heard. Let me go get my tuxedo.

CT4: I have an idea. . . Come here. . .

CT4 whispers to MM the plan that she has for tonight's party. They are co-conspirators for love. . .


What is the plan? What will happen at tonight's party? Will Kello and MM get REUNITED?

LadyGreek and BigSisterShaft get off the plane and walk to the baggage carousel. They hear a quiet, discreet, but nonetheless distinct oo-oop. The 411 rushes over and she and Ladygreek embrace in a Delta hug.

411 it is so good to see you. It's been too long, but it looks like Jamaica has been good to you. This is BigSisterShaft. BSS, this is my mentee The 411.

Hey soror, nice to meet you. Now give me a hug, you know how we Deltas do it.

As they wait for their bags to arrive, LG and BSS fill 411 in on their plan.

Basically we are going to walk into the middle of the meeting. I have arranged for our executive director to be on standby. I am going to call her from my cell and have her tell the Vive President what she told us--there is not now and never has been an Alice DuBois or Alice Chaucey on our membership roll. Then we are going to sit back and see what happens.

You know what LG, I can do even better than that. says 411 I have an attachment to my boom box for a cell phone. We'll hook the phone up to the speakers and have it broadcast for everyone to hear.

My, my, my, I can see why LG calls you her mentee. You have learned well laughs BSS.

It's just that I can't wait to put her on blast exclaims 411 she has been acting really strange ever since she was elected president of the chapter six months ago.

I mean during the initiation last week, she acted as if she had no idea what she was doing, and at the neophyte that night she had no gifts for the new members, not even for her special.

It's as if she has morphed into another person. I mean I know she's a perp and all, but at least before she seemed credible. Now it's like she is totally clueless about everything except wearing 'nalia and throwing up the sign. Even her oo-oop sounds funny.

Well don't worry Sweetie. After tomorrow night her reign as a Delta will be over. Now take us to this fabulous house of yours so we can unpack and freshen up and then I am taking us all out to dinner.

But even as LG says this, she is starting to get an uneasy feeling that there is more to this than they bargained for.

LadyGreek and BigSisterShaft get ready for the meeting. The plan is to not be immediately recognized by Alice, but LadyGreek's dreadlocks and BigSisterShaft's short curly fade would be dead giveaways. So as LG slips on red bobbed wig and BSS dons blond braids, they can't help but laugh at themselves in the mirror. The 411 walks in the room and cthu.

Lawd, I'm not going to say what the two of you look like, but just be sure you have your Delta IDs out when you past the front table, otherwise the sorors will never believe you are Deltas.

Don't worry smiles BSS we will carry ourselves with the proper decorum befitting a member of our Sisterhood. Unlike that perping tramp Alice, we know how to behave.

As planned, they arrive at the meeting an hour after it started, flash their IDs to the sgt-at-arms and tell her they are visiting with Soror The 411. She welcomes them and gestures to them to quietly find a seat in the back. The three of them do just that, so quietly in fact that Alice, as the presiding officer, does not even notice them, nor the boom box they are carrying.

Both LG and BSS notice something strange about Alice, but can't pinpoint it. The meeting is scheduled to run until 9:00 so LGG has arranged to call the Executive Director in Washington, DC at 8:30. As they sit and wait for the right time, BSS can't help but reflect on everything that went down between Alice and Doggy.

Damn, she thinks to herself, even after all this time it still hurts for me to think about that slut being with my big hands/big feets man. I'd better stop thinking about it before I do something irrational. She forces herself to concentrate on the meeting and decides to call Doggy that night just to make sure his a$$ is home where he said he would be.

[librasoul22]

Now he must think I am a pure fool . Im gone really have to call him out. He sittin in the lap of luxury, living the invisible lie and life, and here I am'bout to get my Chevy Nova repo'd...........Aint this a motha!

Beeeeeeeeep Beeeeeeeeeep Beeeeeeeep Beep-Beep!

Gyrl7: Who the.....................Oh hey Libra, chal where you on your way to?

LibraSoul: Im heading to get something to eat, follow me

Gyrl7: How'bout I meet you over there in about, ohhhh, say 30 minutes, I got some thangs to take care of who our friend OneOneTwo

LibraSoul: Please say it aint so, please you are not going to try to find him are you?

Gyrl7: Find??? Can we say found, chal im just on my way to do a drive by at his auto mechanic, I kind of, well lets say gave him a new wheel alignment. And then the car look, like it needed additional work like.........busting the widshield, smashing the hood, pouring lighter fluid on the interior, popping the head lights, you know minor things.

LibraSoul: Chal what if they................

Gyrl7: They who??? There is not nothing that will and can be done, no one has proof that I did it.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

It's OneOneTwo, if I didn't know anybetter I would have sworn that someone else did damage to his car. I don't know about this town of Salem, it just seems skrate up ghetto!

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

I look in my mirror and OneOneTwo is behind my Nova with the look of rage on his face. It was really easy to see because his entire front windshield was gone, his driver side tire was flat, head lights were busted it was a complete mess, but not as messy as Po-Po showing up and writing him out a citation. That was my time to pull off..................

Gyrl7: Libra, chal im ret to eat right now.....................HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAA

librasoul thinks "omg, what has she done?"

gyrl7 suddenly bursts into the restaurant. "Libra! I am GLAD you mentioned Cracker Barrel, I need somethin country!"

Librasoul: "Gyrl, WHAT DID YOU DO TO OneOneTwo???!!"

Gyrl7: "Oh I was just playin! You were acting all stank earlier like you thought I set the hospital on fire, so I decided to mess with you a lil bit. Plus, you know that fire was all Fee-Feeeee, Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the um, pork chops, hmm um yeah, so are we going to CT4's party tonight or what?"

Librasoul: "What did you say? Fee Fee did what?"

Gyrl: "What? I didn't sat nothing bout no Fee Fee. You must be hungry cause you hearing things."

Libra thinks to herself okay. Well since she doesnt wanna come right out and say it, I will figure it out on my own. Fee Fee will be at this party tonight. So we will be there with bells on.

Libra: "My bad, gyrl. But the party? Is a fa sho. It's a masquerade ball right?"

Gyrl: Yup! It is gonna be off the hook!"

Libra thinks perfect. I know just what I need to do. "No doubt. This party will INDEED be off the hook."

[tnxbutterfly]

It had been a long day for TNXButterfly. Work was even crappier then usual and all she wanted to do was soak in a nice hot and crawl in the bed with a good book.

But RainMan called her while she was at the resturant saying they needed to talk. And while he was the last person she wanted to talk to, she was glad that he was making the first move.

The knocking on her door, broke her train of thought. She looked at her watch. Right on time she thought

RM: (after TNX had let him in) Hi, thanks for meeting me.

TNX: You wanted to talk. So talk

RM: I know there's been a lot of tension between us every since I've been seeing Kelli. And it's seems like the past few days have been worst. Everything I say about Kelli rubs you the wrong way.
(TNX started to respond,but RM stops her) Don't say anthing let me finish. (pauses) At first I was really upset, especially after we got into it the other day. But I went home and realized I was wrong to.

Tnx: (confused) Wrong about what?

RM: Well, I realized that we've nothing but talk about me and Kelli. I forgot that you've been dealing with things at work. I've been so focused on Kelli, I've been neglecting my best friend.

Tnx was stunned. If he wanted to think that she was acting the way she was because she was feeling neglected, then that was fine with her.

Tnx: Hey don't worry about it.

RM: So is everything cool between us. (Tnx nods) Good, I missed you. I hate it when we fight. Besides I really need my best friend to be in my corner tonight.

Tnx: Why? What's happening tonight.

RM: I'm prosposing to Kelli tonight at the ball


TNX tries to fight back the tears that are welling up in her eyes. She is unsuccessful and turns her head before RM can see.

RM: Hey, what's the matter. I thought you'd be happy for me.

TNX: (sniffing) I am happy for you.

RM: Then why........(pauses) Oh, I get it. I know what this is about.

TNX: You do?

RM: Yeah and you don't have to worry. You'll still be my best friend after me and Kelli are married. You'll never have to worry about anyone taking your place as my best friend. We are buds are buds for life. and don't you for get that.

TNX: (weakly) Yeah, you figured me out. That's exactly why I've been acting the way I have because I was afraid of losing my best friend.

RM: (giving her a brotherly hug and peck on the forehead) You never have to worry about losing me as a friend. I'll be there for you no matter what. I'm glad we got everything out in the open. It just would be the same without my best friend beside me on one of the most important nights of my life.

TNX: I'm glad we got every thing out in the open to. (Taking a deep breath) It's getting late. You better get a move on. Big night and all.

RM: (looking at his watch) Wow it is late. (goes to the door) We ok? (Tnx nods) You want to ride with me and Kelli to the ball tonight?

Tnx: No that's ok. I've got somethings to take care of first. Why don't I just meet you there.

RM: Ok. See you later.

After RainMan leaves, TNX sobs uncontrollably. He can't propose to Kelli tonight. He just can't she thinks. What am I going to do. She cries some more as she paces around there apartment. Suddenly she has a thought. She goes to the phone and stops crying just as she picks it up. She dials a number she swore she would never dail. But desparte times calls for desparte measures. And that this point, she would do what ever it takes to stop RainMan from proposing at the ball tonight.

TNX: (after the other person picked up the phone) I need your help

Alice is whimpering and whining in the bed. She doesn't know what to expect from this Alex creature.

The tourture started with Anthony, who had a thing for stroking and caressing her head.

Then there was Brian, who was obviously heavy set and caused her to quiver and shake everytime she was on the bed.

Carlos taunted her, Daniel teased her, and if it weren't for the fact that she was tied up, should wouldn't deny that Ezell knew how to please her.

Felton threw ice cubes at her, tourturing her to the point that she thought she was going crazy.

Gabriel had a gas problem, he smelled so bad that she passed out from the fumes.

Herb was heaven, Hanson was hell.

But it was Issac who knew how to treat a girl so well.

Joeseph wanted to be touched, as if she could if she wanted to.

Kevin wanted to be kissed.

Lorenzo wanted to be the man she remembered, even though he wasn't missed.

Martin and Nate and Osario,

Paul, Raul, Saul, and Tomareo

All these men in the house,

All from near to far-ee-o

Ulyseses was country, reminded her of the states.

Vincent was from the west, wild and rough and didn't feel great.

Will liked to punch

Xavier liked to kick

Youroba liked to talk smack and pick

and Zion, but Zion, that MoFo was the worst.

He was the evil combination of all three,

He was the one who stayed with her for a week,

He was the one she kissed, only to be called a hoe,

He was the one who untied her, only to be restricted and not let go.

He was full of games; mental, physical and all.

He was the one who made her wish that she could roll up in a ball.

Needless to say that she wasn't in shock when Alex untied her hands from the bed post, she expected such to begin the trials and tribulations. They could only get worse, she suspected. Alice sat up and was very uncomfortable because her body felt tired. She rubbed her wrist and looked at the beautiful man who resembled her ex-husband.

"Today is your lucky day," Alex said with a grin, "cause today, I am letting you go."

Alice tried to get up, but her legs were asleep.

"You don't have to see this room ever again," Alex swooned in his Billy Dee Williams voice, went to the bed and picked her up like a gentleman, and carried her out of the room.

Alex carries Alice out of the house and he puts her down so that she can walk. Alice turns around to face him.

“Why are you saving me?” she asked her captor.

“Because if I have to die today in this world, I want to die doing something that is right and fighting for what believe in. I am tired of living a life of lies and riches. I want to go home with God and work things out with him.”

“What made you get started with this mess in the first place.”

“Let’s just say that Stephano pays well.”

“Stephano?!”

“Yeah, Stephano. Look, I have no time to talk, you must go and get a head start away from here. I will stay and suffer whatever it is I have to face.”

Alice runs to her house, still in shock. When she turns around to see the house she was once captive in, she still sees the man, waving at her.

Redefined Diva, SevenOhTwo and EightOhEight are hanging out at the yard. SevenOhTwo is enjoying his neo status as a member of, Inc and everyone is watching the different girls trying to holler at him.

“So you are one of the new Alpha’s? You look sexy?” This unidentified chick tries to sweat him.

“Thank you.”

“Do you have a girl, or can I be that girl for you.”

“I’m single, no commitments.”

“So are you going to be in the library, say about six minutes after seven?”

“I can be, but I promised the SGRho’s I would be at their community service program later this evening. Gotta show that greek love.”

“You’d pick them SGRho’s over me?”

“What can I say, I like them sexy, classy, independent, I don’t need to get on a man’s jock type of women, what about you?”

“Fine, hang with them SGHOES.”

“Cool, just remember that it is SGRho and if you want to role with me on any kind of level, then you will have to respect any and all Greeks I may chose to role with.”

The unknown girl walks off and Redefined Diva and EightOhEight start rolling.

“Damn man I didn’t think you’d have it in you, turning down good looking chicks.” EightOhEight said as she pats her brother on the back.

“I want to be around a real woman, not some superficial chick that just wants to role with me because of the letters I wear or because they think I’m going to get them into a party for free. I bet you that is what she wanted anyway. Last week, this is the same guy that was over my roommate’s jock.”

“Oh yeah,” Redefined Diva said, “I forgot 1911 is a Que.”

“Don’t let him hear you say that? Specially since his name is 1911.”

“Yeah, I remember his dad is a Que… wait a minute, isn’t yours too.”

“Yep, my daddy’s a Que, my mom’s a Delta. My auntie Professor LadyGreek is a Delta and my Uncle Doggystyle is Que. Infact, I’m the only Coleman that is an Alpha.” SevenOhTwo says laughing at his own joke.

“Yeah, wait until Doggystyle see’s you, he’ll probably…” Redefined Diva starts to say, but she turns her head to some bushes where she can vomit.

“Are you okay?” SevenOhTwo asks as he gives her a napkin.

“I’m cool.”

"Look, let's split up, 1savvydiva, you take the north side, Steeltrap, you take the west wing and I'll go toward the east."

The three ladies follow their plan and Ideal08 starts looking into rooms and the more she looks, the more familiar the nurse becomes to her.

When I see that chick, she says remembering the very short, sweet older lady, I'm going to forget that she is my elder.

After twenty minutes, Ideal08 notices a short nurse with curls in her hair and she begins to follow her.

Ideal08 notices a short nurse with curls in her hair and she begins to follow her.

I remember this chick. I’m going to get her ass for attempting to poison me! Ideal08 says as she stops in her heals so that the lady can turn around and see her.

“Excuse me,” Ideal08 says as she gets closer to the nurse.

“Yes,” Prayerful turns around and looks at the destitute diva.

“You are the nurse that gave me the cup of water earlier today when we were helping out with the fire weren’t you.”

“Yes,” Prayerful responds, not knowing whether to answer the question or not.

Damn, the heifer ain’t dead Prayerful thinks to herself, Stephano is not going to be happy that I have failed my mission. I need to think of something quick.

“Well, I wanted to thank for that cup of water, I was feeling quite refreshed. You left before I could say anything and since I recognized you, I thought that you should be acknowledged for that.”

Let me catch this chick outside, Ideal08 thinks to herself. No better yet, let me get at this chick at CT4’s party, I’m sure C won’t mind

“Ideal08, there you are,” 1savvydiva and Steeltrap say as they caught up with her.

“Hey girls,” Ideal08 responds, hinting at them that she found the chick she was looking for, “well say, what is your name again.”

“Prayerful,”

“That’s a lovely name,” 1savvydiva tunes in.

“Yes, very lovely,” Steeltrap nods in agreement.

“Well Prayerful, my homegirl, CT4 is throwing a masquerade ball tonight. I think you should attend. It’s going to be at the Pyramid’s. It’s a ballroom right off of Lyle and Snowden Boulevard.”

“The Pyramids… isn’t that the new ballroom that DableST 1 opened earlier this year.”

“Yes,”

“I love her, that’s my girl. I will make sure to attend, I look forward to seeing you.”

“We look forward to seeing you too.” Ideal08 smiled as she faked hugged Prayerful and watches her walk away, “and when I see you, I’m a slip a little sumptin, sumptin in your drink and see how you like that.”

“Come on Ideal08, before you get a migraine,” Steeltrap says as she grabs Ideal08 and turns her away before she thinks about giving Prayeful a beat down in the hospital instead.

[CrimsonTide4]

CT4 arrives at The Pyramids to go over last minute party plans with DableST_1. She has tons of things to do between now and 8:00 and not a moment to waste.


CT4: DableST_1. . .I came to make sure everything is set up for tonight. I have a few changes I need to make. I need for you to have 22 bottles of Ballatore Champagne. It is critical that the champagne is here. I am expecting a surprise guest and want to have something here to toast the guest's presence.

DableST_1: I will have it here just as you requested.

CT4: Now I must go. There is much to do for tonight. I will see you later.


CT4 leaves The Pyramids and heads onward to her next destination. She needs to check on other arrangements for the party for tonight. As she drives her phone rings, she picks it up.

CT4: Hello.

Mystery Man: The eagle flies over the barn at night but with root beer in his mouth.

CT4 (ROFLHAO): Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!???

MM: Are you alone?

CT4: Yes. Are you on crack?

MM: LOL, I always wanted to have code words while working on a covert operation.

CT4: Have you taken care of what I told you to take care of?

MM: Yes I have Big Sister Mission Impossible.

CT4: Very good. Well I am on my way to handle the rest of the items on my to do list.

MM: The duck quacks and the cow moos but what sound does the rabbit make?

CT4: I am about to hang up on you.

MM: Over and out good buddy.


CT4 heads to Kelli's apartment who is at the spa getting a facial, manicure and pedicure. She grabs her keys and heads up to Kelli's apartment. She throws on her dark subglasses, black wide brim hat and scales the wall like Spiderman. . . SIIIIIIKE!!. She has the key and walks to the door like she always does.

CT4 leaves Kelli's apartment with what she came for. She checks her watch and then heads to her salon to get her beautification done. The other items on her to do list can wait until after her appointment. She is tired and worn out. . . She will be glad when tonight is over.

[CrimsonTide4]

CT4 was tired. She had still not gotten dressed. It was 7:30 and she had been at the Pyramids overseeing the final preparations since 5:30. Finally everything looked ready so she went into the back room and began to get dressed. She had found a beautiful dress that her mother had made for her in black. Her mask was crimson, gold and cream. She was going to enjoy this party come what may. It had been a long time since GC had had a shindig like this one. . . in more ways than one. She wanted this to be a night no one ever forgot.


My Dress

She had finished getting dressed when she heard a man call her name. She opened the door to the back room and saw him. She saw that the DJ had set up and was playing Joe's "All That I Am."

Her heart melted! Her man had made it in time for the party. She ran to him and jumped in his arms. MICHAEL had returned from shooting Barbershop 2. She had not seen him in a month and had missed him so much. Damn him for not coming back last night, now she had to wait hours before they could fornicate.

She quickly filled him in on the plans and thus made him a co-conspirator for love.

CT4: Baby, I am sooooooooo glad you are home. I have missed you soooooo much.

Michael: CT4, baby, I have missed you so much. Eve kept trying to push up on a brotha but I told her my heart belongs to you and only you.

CT4: Oh no she didn't!

Michael: Baby, don't worry about her. You are the only one I want.

CT4: Ditto. Michael you are looking delicious as hell in that black tux. The cut of that tux was made for you.

Michael: The only thing made for me was you. I bless the day we met. You are forever in my heart. CT4, I love you so much.

Ct4 (crying): Oh Michael, I love you so much too. You are everything that I prayed to find in a man. I love you because you are my soul mate and the love I feel for you only grows with time.

Michael: Baby, I cannot live without you any more. **gets down on one knee** I love you, CT4. MY heart belongs to you. You are my forever. You complete me. Will you marry me?

CT4 (voice a la Gina Waters from the scene in the park on Martin): Yes Michael, oh yes baby. (crying harder). . . they kiss

Michael: Baby, you have not even seen the ring yet.

CT4: The ring does not matter. The ring is like our love -- it cannot be broken, but go ahead and let me see it.

Michael: Open the box.

CT4 opens the box and faints!!! But gets right back up and dances and kisses Michael. She shouts, "GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRY!!!"



She does a pirouette around the room. The DJ had been watching and began to play Luther's So Amazing as Michael took the ring out of the box and put it on CT4's finger. The two began to dance in their own private celebration.


Whoa!! CT4 is engaged! What else will happen once the party actually starts? Will the Mystery Man show? Will he reveal himself to Kelli?

[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!

[OneOneTwo]

Monica's "So Gone" was blasting from the Pyramids as Steeltrap, Ideal08 and 1savvydiva stepped out of their pink cadillac and headed to the entrance.

Steeltrap had on a spagetti strap salmon pink Karl Kani dress, that showcased her vibatious curves befitting the fullfigure woman that she is. The pink Manolo shoes matched the light strawberry purse that she was wearing. Her mask was of an emerald color, with a pink ivy over the right eye.

Ideal08 was wearing an apple green Baby Phat gown, with the slit up the length of her arms, matching the length of the slit down her back. Her apple green Manolo's were matching the purse that she carried of the same. The curls in her head had been set to wrap in a bun that then extended down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her mask was of a watermellon color with a green frog leaping across the top of her eyes.

1savvydiva, she was the killa. Her tall, slender physique was covered in a black trench coat that covered the short skirt she was wearing. The pearls that sat above her neck, glistened as if they were birthed from diamonds in the rough. The coat was buttoned at the first three button, leaving the rest unbotton to expose her flat, almost muscularlike stomach. Her black boots her knee high, and if you weren't careful, you would have mistaken her for an R&B singer.



In lieu of a mask, she had a black netted hat tilted to the left. Since she was in the middle, it was clear that she was the leader of the group.

The three women looked at each other as 1savvydiva continued to sing the melody of the song. They walked to the entrance of Pyramids and were met by two Egyptian guards. Their chest exposed the payment of a good winter's workout, while their obviously naked waist were only covered by the white, thin, sheet like towels that almost exposed there... yeah...

"The password please," the light one asked.

Ideal08 and Steeltrap stood next to them, dipped into that infamous AKA lean and gave and earpiercing Skee-Wee that's height was high enough to crack the glasses of the building.

"And I'm with them," 1savvydiva jumped in as the guards let open their spears to let the ladies through.

As the ladies stepped into the 'Mids, they were greeted by DableST 1 and CT4 who were making their way to the room.

"I mean damn," DableST 1 said as she hugged the ladies, "if that note had been any higher we would have had glass falling out of the sky." The group laughed as they inspected one another. "Note to self, I will be buying bullet proof glasses so that we don't have that problem anymore."

"Welcome to the Pyramid's," CT4 said, showing off her newly received engagment ring.

"You're engaged!" Ideal08 yelled while grabbing CT4's hand, "since when and why have you been holding out?

"It just happened," CT4 said, "you see my man Michael over there with The Original Ape."

The ladies waved at the men, who responded in kind.

"Now before I let you ladies proceed any further," CT4 said, "I need for ya'll to promise me that there won't be any fighting from the three of you."

"Me, fight?" Ideal08 questioned, "oh I don't fight... not in this dress."

"I'm too old for that," Steeltrap jumped in.

"I'm not," 1savvydiva said and the group of ladies were laughing again.

"Well anyway, the food is on the right and the sexy men are on the left. I think the bruhs are about to stroll so I will need to let you go." CT4 said as she heard the "Atomic Dog" intro being played.

"Don't be strolling in that dress now girl," Ideal08 said as she sees CT4 and DableST 1 run to towards the Omegas, "I'm going to hate for your everythings to be falling out."

"My everythings are not going to fall out!" CT4 yelled back, starting to throw her arms back and participate in the infamous party hop.

Ideal08, Steeltrap and 1savvydiva look at them and smile.

"Now remember, we are looking for Prayerful, when we find that chick, we'll have to exit towards the back," Ideal08 says as the three women split up and enjoy the night's festivities.
