BY SOLO

EPISODE 22




   Flacco has an idea.
   So what was it?
- Oh I have no idea…..So read on!

   Flacco leaned over and whispered into Paul's, Tim's and Richard's ear.  Tim looked up with disbelief and began to laugh… "Library?
Library?"
   Paul laughed to, but for a different reason, "But Tim and Richard can't read!"
   "Hey!" Tim complained.
   "Can too!"  Richard wined.
   "Can not!"  Paul winged.
   "Can too!"
   "Not!"
   "Too!"
   "Not, not, not!"
   "Too, too, too!"
   "Not, not, not, not, not!"
   "Too, too, too, oof!"  Richard doubled over as Paul hit him in the stomach.
   "Yeah, that's the way to end an argument Paul!"  Tim said.
   "It wasn't an argument…it was discussion, right mate?"
   "Right Paul." Richard groaned.
   "Well?"  Flacco asked.
   "Okay, so we'll go to the library and see of we can find a way to wake Solo up from the books."  All four quickly turned and stormed out
of the room.
   Leaving Solo alone to dream…

*****

   Solo and Flacco danced around the ballroom.  The Doug Anthony Allstars continued to sing from the stage.
   Suddenly a hand landed on Flacco's shoulder.  Flacco looked around in surprise.  Behind him stood a tall, handsome man dressed in a black
tuxedo.  He flicked his dark fringe out of his eyes.  "May I cut in?" he asked.
   Flacco, when faced with such devastating good looks, was forced to yield Solo into his arms.
   Tim held Solo lightly and swung her around and into a slow tango.
>From behind her head, Tim pulled a blood red rose out of the air and placed it between her teeth.
   Tim swung her around and they danced in the opposite direction.  Solo gasped when he pulled her close and then a little closer.
   Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
   {Now this is more like it…this is what dreams are supposed to be like!}

*****

   Tim stared at the novels on the top row.  'Nuclear physics'?
'Quantum Mechanics'? Nup no help there!
   Richard examined the books on the middle shelf.  'Egyptian Friendship rings'?  Mayan Love Pills"?  Aztec Rumpy Pumpy Positions'???  Nup, no help there! He thought.
   Paul picked up the closest book on the bottom shelf.  'Fairytale Classics of the 16th century'?  He laughed at the picture on the front
cover…seven little men in strange little clothes walked single file along a mountainside path.  Paul opened the book and began to laugh at
the pictures inside.
   Richard leaned over Paul's shoulder.  "Look Paul found something!"
   "Huh?"  Paul looked up surprised.  He was just looking at the pictures, he wasn't even bothering to look for anything…as if you could
learn anything from books?  He had turned to a page and had been chuckling over how the evil queen had been pushed off a cliff by these
seven dwarfy guys and daggy gear!
   Richard pointed to the picture on the other side of the page.  There was a young woman with dark hair, Snow White the book said, lying on a
bed, by her side knelt a handsome prince.
   "Turn the page Paul and lets see how the Prince wakes her!"  Richard suggested.

*****

   Tim dipped Solo low over his arm and whispered…"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life."  He stared deep into
Solo's eyes.
   No…not quite into Solo's eyes.  She turned her head slightly and stared into the mirror clamped tightly in Tim's hand.  Tim was staring
into the mirror.
   Great!  Solo thought and pushed against Tim's shoulder.  This abrupt movement knocked the mirror from his hand.  It bounced off Solo's
shoulder and shattered against the floor.  Tim looked devastated.  Solo tried to apologise but Tim brushed it off…
   "Don't worry, I have a spare in case of emergencies."
   And with that, he bounced off towards his bedroom.

  Solo leaned up against the nearest wall, looked around the empty room and sighed heavily.
   She was therefore surprised when she felt someone tap her shoulder.
She glanced over and looked into Richard's concerned gaze.  She then looked down.  Hmmmmmmmmm, she thought.  She had only just realised just how good he looked in a black tux.
   "Don't be upset.  Tim is just a vain twit.  Don't let it ruin your night…would you like to dance?"
   Solo gratefully accepted.
   Richard took her hand and led her out onto the dance floor.
   Solo waited for Richard to take her into his arms.  Instead Richard pushed her to one side and clicked his heels together.  Tucking his
thumbs into his cummerbund he began to bootscoot.
   Oh Great!!!

*****

   Paul turned the page - The guys all stared at the picture in horror.
   "EWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  They all cried.

*****

  Solo looked at Richard sadly.  She was not even going to attempt the moves he was making…not in this dress anyway!  At any other time…
   Someone tapped her shoulder.
   She spun around.
   "Oh my gosh!"
   Solo could feel her mouth drop open in amazement.

   What?
   What is it?
   What is she staring at?
   More importantly, who is she staring at?
   What are the lads so disgusted at?
   Will Solo wake up in the next ep??

STAY TUNED…
