Tween Invasion<\/strong> <\/center><\/p>\n

     \u201cOh my God\u2026\u201d
\n     Skye found Miranda putting a hand to her head.
\n     She was looking in the direction of a group of punk boys dressed up in matching black cheerleader outfits with white trim, all with black and red pom poms. A few of them had accentuated their outfits with some band and skull pins. The very large man had put a large red bow in his hair.
\n     \u201cDamn!\u201d yarped Roach. \u201cNice legs Preston!\u201d
\n     Skye turned around to see Preston walking up, wearing the same cheerleading outfit as the others.
\n     Skye stifled a laugh. \u201cIt\u2019s so embarrassing when you run into someone wearing the same thing, right?\u201d
\n     \u201cHey, I wanted to get in on the fun.\u201d Preston tugged at his skirt. \u201cPlus these things have nice ventilation!\u201d
\n     Miranda walked up, carrying her bass, trying to rein in her bemused smile.
\n     \u201cEveryone\u2019s gonna think you dressed him up like this!\u201d said Skye as she pointed at Preston.
\n     \u201cWho\u2019s to say I didn\u2019t? Cowboy outfit\u2019s next!\u201d
\n     \u201cYeehaw!\u201d yawped Preston.
\n     Various members of the entourage were talking to the cheerleaders as Skye shooed along Roach, Molly, and Miranda to get ready as The Jolly Sturms finished up their set.
\n     Skye felt a hand on her shoulder. \u201cSo there are actual kids in the audience,\u201d stated Tandasil matter-of-factly.
\n     \u201cWhattaya mean kids?\u201d
\n     \u201cColleen\u2019s niece and a bunch of her middle school friends are in the audience. Her cheerleading friends, I assume.\u201d
\n     \u201cSo, no Sex Towel then, right?\u201d
\n     Tandasil narrowed her eyes. \u201cHell to pay. That\u2019s what you get for bringing in an actual cheerleader to help with the act when you\u2019re also playing at an all-ages venue.\u201d
\n     Skye rolled her eyes as she was beginning to wonder how Tandasil-like she was becoming. She quickly skittered up to Molly to let her know there were tweens in the audience.
\n     \u201cSure,\u201d said Molly. \u201cIt\u2019s all ages.\u201d
\n     \u201cNo Sex Towel though.\u201d
\n     Molly looked surprised for a moment, as if she had not thought about it. \u201cRight.\u201d
\n     Skye gripped her guitar as The Jolly Sturms finished their encore.
\n     Walking out onto the stage, the crowd started cheering. They quickly took up their positions as wolf whistles and catcalls came from the audience when Preston walked out in his cheerleading outfit.
\n     \u201cCalm down you animals!\u201d shouted a smiling Molly. \u201cWe decided we need the band to be all-girl so we gussied up our temp axe grinder!\u201d
\n     They started off with Rockhead, one of their new songs. Skye started the riff intro. As the rest of the band kicked in, the crowd started cheering wildly.
\n     Skye turned around as the stage shook. The gang of cheerleaders, five punk boys in all, including Larry and Billy the very large man, were running out onto the stage. They all started jumping up and down as Molly started singing.
\n     Skye could not help but turn around and look at the hopping, kicking, and twirling punk cheerleaders as they played. She quickly turned to face the audience again since they were playing one of their newer songs and she did not want to slip up.
\n     They launched into Barbecue the Rich as the jumping cheerleaders were making the stage shake, especially when the very large man jumped up and down. She noticed the crowd was a little more raucous than usual, cheering loudly, whooping, and catcalling as the cheerleaders danced.
\n     The punk boy cheerleaders all gathered behind Preston and shook their pom-poms around him as he played the solo for Bitch Witch. During Goth Butt Revenge they formed a chorus line and were kicking their legs up in the air.
\n     By the time they were playing their next-to-last song, Flat Ears Hiss, Skye was used to the semi-competent stage-shaking cheerleaders, all of whom seemed to be slowing down.
\n     As Molly started the hissing intro to the song, a short figure ran in front of Skye, startling her for a moment as she concentrated on raking out the intro to the song. She turned and saw short and skinny girls running around the stage, jumping up and down with pom-poms in their hands. Skye tried to keep in time as a few of Nicole\u2019s friends cartwheeled across the stage in front of Molly, tumbling around like acrobats as the crowd went completely wild.
\n     After the song, Nicole walked up to Molly and held out her hand. Molly handed her the mic.
\n     \u201cRemember, you\u2019re not supposed to swear in front of little kids!\u201d shouted Nicole with a wide smile as her high-pitched voice boomed all over the theater.
\n     The crowd started laughing and cheering and jeering. Some rough-looking men by the stage\u2019s edge started making faces at Nicole.
\n     \u201cHey, mind your fucking manners!\u201d shouted Nicole with a wide smile as the rest of her cheerleading gang ran up to the edge of the stage and shook their pom-poms at all of the yarking punks.
\n     The quite large cheerleader ran up to the left side of the stage. Everyone in the audience let out a collective gasp when he performed a slow and somewhat awkward yet complete cartwheel, an acrobatic feat that left everyone stunned for a split second until he landed feet first on the stage with a loud crash.
\n      A huge cheer went up from the audience as the large punk held up his pom-poms in triumph and Nicole\u2019s friends cartwheeled around him.
\n      They launched into their encore song, Atomic Bomb Betty, and all of the cheerleaders, large and small, started dancing at the front of the stage.<\/p>\n

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~<\/p>\n

     \u201cThat was a killer show!\u201d smiled Roach as she walked up to Skye.
\n     \u201cI’ve never heard a crowd get that loud before!\u201d
\n     Skye spotted Larry and Nicole having a facetious pom-pom fight as everyone milled around backstage.
\n     Everyone was smiling and laughing.
\n     \u201cToo bad we can’t take this act on the road,\u201d said Tandasil who had walked up behind Skye.
\n     \u201cNo shit. That was something else!\u201d
\n     \u201cMaybe we can recruit punk boys in the local scenes as we go along,\u201d suggested Roach.
\n     \u201cBut where would we find pom-poms and outfits for them?\u201d asked Tandasil.
\n     \u201cMaybe next tour,\u201d said Skye. \u201cWhen we\u2019re rolling in tons a\u2019 dough!\u201d
\n     Skye made her way to the back table for a soda. A woman with short brown hair walked up to her. \u201cHey, how\u2019s it going?\u201d
\n     Skye looked at her curiously. \u201cOh. Hey.\u201d
\n     \u201cRemember me?\u201d
\n     Skye stood stunned for a moment. She could not for the life of her remember who she was, even though it was obvious that she knew her.
\n     \u201cMy daughter taught your punk boys to cheer.\u201d
\n     \u201cHoly crap, Bray?\u201d
\n     She nodded with a wry smile.
\n     \u201cJesus, I didn\u2019t recognize you!\u201d said Skye.
\n     \u201cColleen told me you\u2019re a twelve stepper now.\u201d
\n     \u201cTryin\u2019 to be. It\u2019s not easy when you\u2019re hanging out with crazy punks all th\u2019 time.\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah.\u201d
\n     \u201cWhat did she say? You’ve been clean for four years now?\u201d
\n     \u201cAlmost five. But it’s about the day-to-day, really.\u201d
\n     Skye and Bray talked about some of the finer points of the twelve step program as Skye marveled at how different Bray looked.
\n     \u201cI gotta say,\u201d remarked Skye, \u201cI just didn’t recognize you when you first walked up.\u201d
\n      \u201cThat’s ’cause I actually weigh something now.\u201d
\n     \u201cIt’s not just that. It’s your hair, your face\u2026 the fact you’re not holding onto a drink!\u201d
\n     Bray looked embarrassed. \u201cI’m trying mostly to deal with the backlash, tryin’ to process everything.\u201d
\n     \u201cI hear ya, not bein\u2019 able to drown out all of those feelings and realities. I got the shakes the other day, and I had to hang onto a friend to get through it.\u201d
\n     \u201cShakes don’t bother me as much. It’s the guilt that gets to me.\u201d
\n     \u201cWhat? Like fights?\u201d
\n     Bray shook her head. \u201cThere\u2019s that, trying to reconcile the shitty things I\u2019ve done, but it\u2019s also just\u2026\u201d Bray got a solemn look on her face. \u201cIt’s just all that time spent getting wasted, all that time getting loaded instead of doing something worthwhile. I could’ve been going to school, working out, writing, reading, or making music instead of getting trashed with worthless burnouts all the time.\u201d She looked right at Skye. \u201cThat gets to me more than anything else.\u201d
\n     Skye felt her skin turn cold. \u201cHey, you’re still pretty young. You got time to do alla those things now.\u201d
\n     Bray’s eyes wandered to the floor. \u201cI suppose. I’m still working on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
