Flimflam, Hijinks, and Solidarity: The Prologue

Bang, bump, thud!

The quick succession of sounds and actions made Deidra's stomach drop. Deidra's eyes focused in on the sapling as she remembered she was in Sexy Lexy, Belle's red Saturn, and not her own car. She jumped out of the driver's side to assess the damage and saw that the white granny panties were still hanging from the car's antenna. It was all she could do to keep from buckling over in laughter as she pictured that glorious moment when Belle opened the box to find her very own pair of tent sized, granny panties. The horror that filled Belle's eyes as she squealed and threw them across the room followed by the eruption from the roommates, Deidra knew would be legendary.

She forced herself to gain her composure and look at the front of the car. As her eyes scanned the bumper, she heard Raya and the others preventing Belle from retrieving her car laughing all the while. There was no visible damage to the car, but the sapling would never be the same.

Diedra hopped back in Sexy Lexy and drove the hundred yards around the freshman dorm to the back door of apartment 14. As the uncontainable rag tag group of roommates came into view, Diedra couldn't help musing how this strange group of girls came to be such close friends. Most people would not think of finding these eight personas in the same room let alone infringing on one another's lives.

Diedra slammed on the brakes and stopped just in front of the curb.

"Get those things off my car!" True to form, Belle was making a commotion about the granny panties, demanding attention while the others laughed hysterically.

"Belle...it isn't that big a deal, seriously!" Addison said in between fits of laughter and the essential breathing.

"Diedra, take those things off this instant!" Belle asserted with the stomp of her right foot which only served to throw the others into a new fit of laughter.

Standing behind Jasmine for protection, Diedra decided to share the tale of the unfortunate sapling, "Dude! I hit the tree."

"What!?" Mona and Tamah choked out together.

"The one on the other side of the freshman dorm," Diedra responded flinching as she noticed Belle had stopped laughing. "The car is fine Belle, but I can't say the same for the tree."

"I gotta see this," Addison asserted as she began running to the far side of the parking lot followed by Narissa and Raya. The minute Addison saw the tree holding on for dear life at a forty-five degree angle, she laughed through her nose and sat down to keep from falling over. Raya sat down next to her laughing to the point of tears.

Narissa interrupted the laughter, "I think I saw the RA's light go on in the girls dorm!"

"Crap!"

With that all three girls ran back to the apartment. They jumped over the curb and sprang to the back door.

"What's going on?" Tamah asked.

"RA's" was all Narissa had to say and all eight girls hurtled into apartment 14 landing on the couches.

The rest of the night was a whirlwind of laughter.

As usual, Tamah had plans Saturday so she was the first to leave. Eventually Narissa snuck over to her apartment, a whole five feet away; while Mona and Diedra claimed the two couches in the living room. Who knows what the night held for the girls dreams, but one thing was for sure, if it was memorable it would be talked about the next morning.

This group of girls had a unique mix. There was the confidant, the comedy relief, the sympathizer, the naive, the sporty, the unpredictable, the intellect, and the creative. All playing their part. Each leaving the others changed. If it weren't for this group, who knows where each girl would have ended up.
