A
Bigger Bra For Ashleyby
Axolotl
"Ashley, certainly not! You are not having a bigger bra, and that's final! The very idea!"
"So I wondered if Heidi would be able to help?" Denise finished in a rush and waited for Alice to respond.
They walked in a strained silence down the hill to Alice's parents' house. Ashley and Andy Barrett plodded along in front, not talking. They didn't really have anything to talk about. Strangely, it had taken a surprising amount of persuasion to get Andy to come along. He didn't want to get involved with a bunch of girls. Why couldn't Ashley just borrow the fucking bra and get on with it on his own?
They heard him come home two hours later, as they were just descending from their second successful test flight. They were getting better every time. Shortly afterwards, they heard him go to the bathroom. "He's either inspecting the damage or he's filling a pair of balloons with water. Which do you think?"
The house lights dimmed jerkily and the curtains twitched apart. A gasp went up from the audience, entranced, transported back across two thousand years in an instant.
"Well, that went pretty well, all things considered." They were walking slowly home, arm in arm through the first sprinklings of snow.
