What's next?
Face It Tiger Pt 3 More Than Bandmates
"Well, well, well... What's this? Are you drunk Gwen?"
Gwen shook her head at Glory and she could see. She wasn't flush... she was blushing! "Oh... I see." She sat and turned to Betty. "Don't grill her for the down and dirty deets so hard! She's about to spontaneously combust!"
Betty shook her head. "You don't understand... come here." She started whispering into Glorys ear as Glory poured herself a drink. Then Glory's eyes got wide and she looked up at Gwen as Betty kept whispering.
Gwen blushed even more deeply and then pointed. "Glory! You're spilling!"
Glory looked down at her cup running over. "Fuck!" She quickly set down the bottle and started trying to divert the pooling spill as Gwen looked for napkins or something and Betty laughed. "Dammit Betty! You know this shit's expensive!"
"My bad," Betty said laughing. "But the look. Hahaha. On yer face. Hehe he. Worth it!" She held her hand up and managed to get a servers attention. They quickly grabbed a bar towel and had it cleaned up in a jiffy assuring them that it happened all the time.
Glory carefully went to drank from her over full glass. "Ok... I'm not into guys but even I can admit that is impressive." She winked at Gwen. "Good for you girl. No wonder this one's all excited. Probably can't wait to go home and Google that shit while schlicking to hentai."
Betty shrugged. "That's an asain sterotype, Glory. You should know better... besides that was Gwen's thing. I only occasionally do it to hentai. I'm a well rounded pervert, thank you."
Glory shook her head. "The sterotype is it's always the nice quiet looking girls who turn out to be the freaks and that's you. You're not 'well rounded'. You're the closeted kinkmeister... meistress? Whatever. And it's true in your case case... you love almost all of that stuff. Don't judge books by their covers."
Gwen nodded and blushed. "Thanks... did Walt find you guys and where's Em Jay?"
Glory nodded and she debated just telling Gwen... would that calm things down or make it worse? "He did... MJ needed to use the ladiesroom and I asked him to escort her there..." they were her friends and Betty was super reasonable and so was Gwen usually. "He caught me tearing into Em Jay. No, no!" She held up her hands. "She needs to be set straight sometimes," Glory sighed. "Betty please don't?"
Betty smiled and nodded. "You got it." She could practice restraint.
Gwen however could not. "Isn't that phrase a tad ironic coming from you? Ba dum dum tiss." She mimed playing her drums.
Betty laughed. Glory looked tiredly at Gwen who shrugged... and that set Glory off laughing. "You bitch. Ahahaha. love ya!"
Gwen laughed too. "Oh and now you're hitting on me? Hahahah! Make up your mind!" Gwen reached out and grabbed her hand. "Seriously...Thank you! Are you two good?"
Glory nodded. "Wasn't a real fight. Just a wake up call to be better. She..." she shrugged. "She's MJ. She cracked then immediately started pulling herself back together stronger. She's just been so motivated on making the band work. You've been better about attending practice. She's hoping we can start lining up a gig."
Gwen nodded but frowned. "I'd like that but I dunno... I'd feel awful if I missed the show again... and the thing is. Walt uh, knows people. Like from schools?" Gwen winced knowing how lame this sounded. "Professorial people who can get me into a program and so I might go away for awhile with him...?"
Betty and Glory just looked at her. "Are you next going to tell us the dog also ate your home work, Ms Stacy?" Betty asked adjusting her glasses giving an impression of one of their old school teachers.
"What? Uhhh... No, I just, err..."
Glory also looked at her skeptically. "Cause you just kinda casually threw all that complete bullshit around than hit us with the truth of "I'm running away with my man." Which is fine but you don't need that other garbage."
Gwen blinked. "It is? Uhh... ok now I feel dumb. Sorry."
Betty smiled. "We're concerned about you of course... your life's been... not gonna lie, bit of a train wreck-"
"Ouch," Gwen said. "Harsh but accurate."
"But we also trust you and know that Gwen Stacy always gets back up no matter how many times she gets knocked down," Betty said.
Glory nodded. "Right. You always manage to squeak by somehow. Your lifes been falling apart lately. Honestly we were really starting to get concerned thinking maybe something was wrong or you were on drugs or something. Out all night, passing out dressed like a sexy bum, not looking as healthy... and then the last couple months? Bam! You got your shit together! Dressing better, looking better! Happy, bright and cheerful Gwen again! You even started regularly making it to practice... it was suddenly obvious-"
Gwen gulped. "Uh, what was?"
Glory and Betty both said it. "Being in love made you straighten your life out."
"I'm not Spi-duh whazis now?" Gwen started her denial and stumbled.
Glory nodded her head. "Your dad suddenly snapped out of his coma and got better on that awesome treatment... and then you started acting better, taking better care of yourself, showing up for practice again regularly and being genuinely happier."
Betty reached over and started pour them all refill drinks. "We totally figured it was your dads doctor, a cute nurse, a hunky physical therapist or someone else from the hospital you fell in love with though. Never expected a rugged, older, outdoorsy businessman type but there it is... A classic Gwen twist!"
"I...guess I..." Gwen blinked. Now that she thought about it... her friends weren't wrong. There was a lot of other stuff too but... Walt had changed her life. She was happy. She wasn't alone. She was eating better and taking better care of herself and her new friends and Shogo. She wasn't patroling all hours of the night and rarely by herself anymore. He hadn't "fixed" her life... he'd shown her a better way to live it by simply living it together with her. Even more her circle of people who cared about and loved her had grown. Her best friends saw it! May was sharp and probably had too! And they supported anything that made her this happy and healthy!
Gwen laughed raising her drink. "I guess you're totally right. I'm sorry guys... I should've just come clean from the get go. I'm totally in love and fixing my life and I'll probably be going away with Walt!"
They both joined in drinking to her happiness. "We're happy for you," Betty said. "We'll miss you though." She sighed. "Running away forever with a rich, handsome older man... he's totally gonna pamper you, fulfill all your kinky desires-"
"Hey, I'm not you!" Gwen said. "And we're not "running away forever", we'll totes be back it'll just be a bit of a commute..." *From a different reality,* she thought.
Glory laughed. "But you are having fantastic sex from the details so far... and we wanna hear more Ms Stacy!" She laughed but shook her head. "We're taking it well but... Em Jay will be upset. There goes the band again. Not like we can just bring anyone in. That time we tried bringing Felica in didn't work out."
"That's putting it mildly," Betty said. "Em Jay fought with her so hard Felica nearly strangled her with a mic cord... but they're both headliner types. That was bound to happen and Felica went and made it pretty big herself. Best to not mention her or the 'Black Cats' around Em Jay."
They all nodded. The success of the "Black Cats" was a landmine to be avoided. Gwen sighed, "Well maybe Walt will have an idea... where are those two anyway?"
Betty swallowed. "Uhmmm...Isn't that them there... on the dance floor?"
