Girls Day Out

The Wine is Flowing

Alana and Tzipora haven’t hung out in ages. They texted a lot. Mostly sending photos of their children. Tzipora now had, in addition to Tamar Hannah. He is 18 months old and quiet.

Today they were hanging at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden—just the two of them. The kids were with their dad. The weather was nice. Tzipora has been 100 percent faithful to Eran. She’d never sleep with another guy. But we know she used to coax Alana into bed. She knew Alana was experimental. But one hundred percent devoted to Marc. But she was mad at him because that’s when he decided to try again with Jen. Alana knew it would not last. But she was annoyed. She knew she and Marc would never wed. But she wanted him as her one and only. She had just saved Tzipora and Stacey from some dumb jock. It was the first time she publicly used her powers. Tzipora was hot for her at that moment. 

Alana didn’t fight back. She was depressed over Marc and needed someone. Tzipora recognized this and lured her in. These days they are two devoted moms. Tzipora’s medical practice is doing quite well. She and Alana looked at the flowers and sipped bottled water. Both wore their usual black clothes, and before arriving, they’d been listening to Joy Division. They smiled at each other when they mentioned this. There will always be a connection between those two.

All was well at least for the time being. Alana heard kids screaming. Most were those annoyed because mom and dad didn’t let them have all the candy they wanted. They heard a teenage girl scream. They recognized her voice as more mature than the little ones. They figured she was annoyed with how the wind was blowing and messing up her hair. That was happening to Alana. But she didn’t care.

Screams got louder. Tzipora poked Alana in the back and told her to turn around. She saw a 14-year-old girl getting smacked by another teen girl. The aggressor was about two years older. She looked like the crazies you see on the subway. Tzipora knew Alana wasn’t gonna let this girl get hurt. Alana did not want to make a scene. She inched up to the two teens, opened her eyes, and shot wine into the attacker’s eyes. She followed up by lunging a few apples, which nailed the belligerent teen in her knees. She fell to the ground. Alana switched to white wine and splattered it all over her body. She buried her head into the ground and started weeping. The other girl was nervous about what was going on. She got up and walked toward the ladies’ room.

Alana and Tzipora continued their walk through the gardens.
