Kyla and Becka chapter 1 revised

"Where is she? Ugh... It's already been an hour..."1

Kyla sat on the edge of the water fountain, waiting for the love of her life. The most beautiful person in the world, the one human on this earth who could make her smile. They were due at the movies in fifteen minutes and she'd been waiting for an hour an a half. They'd planned on arcade games. Popcorn... Now they'd be lucky if they got tickets in time. She turned at a rustling in the bushes...2

"Hey! Sorry I'm late. Mom wouldn't help me with the corset so I had to lace myself in. Then the dishes needed done and the cat wouldn't get off my coat. I'm really sorry." 3

Becka had shown. Finally. timing wasn't her greatest skill, but Kyla could forgive one little flaw in he beloved. What was the point if they didn't have any flaws? Perfection was a disaster waiting to happen. That was part of why they set the time for their dates an hour or two early. Becka had managed to lace herself into a blue and black silk corset, not the sleazy kind, the real kind. The kind that had steel bars and made you feel like you wre bullet proof. The kind that never wore out. She'd shown up looking like a goth boys wet dream, short pleated black skirt with blue pin stripes, knee hight leather books with buckles, fishnetted arms and legs, and the sexiest trench coat available. Even her makeup and hair were part of the dream, though her hair was naturally black already, she'd put bright blue streaks in it to bring out the blue in her eyes.... Kyla could feel the drool start to go and mentally shook herself. This is SO not the time to rape your girlfriend. Though it would put the fear of goth into the hearts of mothers every where... Hee. For that matter the two of them were enough to put any guy with a taste for crazy into a frenzy. Dressed identically, except for Kyla hated wearing blue and wore green instead... Yeah, maybe we should model, that would set her dad into cardiac arrest....4

They made thier way out of the park, arms wrapped around each others waists, walking in sync from years of practice, heading towards the movie theater. 5

"You know, this has got to be the best pizza in the world. nothing like Italian food to make the night perfect. So what'd you think of the movie?"7

The girls were sitting in their favorite booth and Piazzi's Pizza Parlor, sipping cola and munching appetizers. The movie had been one of the best horror movies of the year, nothing but decaying flesh and monsters everywhere just waiting to rip the hero limb from limb. Kyla contemplated the costume jobs in the movie before she answered.8

"I think the movie was excellent, really got the heart pounding, but there were a few scenes where you could see the monsters faces falling of. I think they didn't use enough spirit gum. But other than that, watching those people run as freaking funny. I mean, we run every day for gym, we'd need an er and body casts if we fell down all the time like that."9

"True... But I think it was more funny how the monsters never articulated anything. Just moans and grrs and mumbles. What if they were really trying to get ahold of the people to keep them from doing something stupid and everyone got killed because they were to stupid to pay attention?"10

"I like that idea... But how would you explain the monsters ripping people apart?"11

"Sexual frustration. With faces like that, they never get laid, man."12

The waitress raised her eyebrows when she handed them their tab, the bus boy just about dropped his trays when they left, and the taxi driver almost crashed the taxi on the freeway before getting them home.13

"Man, people should watch themselves. Someone's gonna die tonight due to lack of awareness..." Kyla told the taxi driver, who promptly paled and sped off without charging them.14

"Sugar... You shouldn't scare the poor man like that, he'll have to cover the mileage out of his tips."15

"Yeah, serves him right though, staring at you like you're a pizza with all the toppings and he's the fat man who hasn't eaten in three days."16

"Heh. He wasn't staring at me. He was staring at you. Anyway, miss protective. Let's go to bed, huh?"17

"Silk sheets tonight?"18
