тАШAgain,тАЩ chorus the Bon-Bons.

тАШWe grew up together,тАЩ Cora and Rona tell the journalist. Their new record
is in the charts, at number fifty-nine, and Spencer says somebody heard it
on Radio WMCA. The journalist is interviewing the Bon-Bons for the local
paper. тАШWe went to high school together,тАЩ says Cora.

тАШAll of us,тАЩ says Rona. тАШI was a cheerleader, Cora was an athlete,
Candy was homecoming queen. Boys would buy us Cokes,тАЩ she says,
smiling, and she clasps her hands around her knee, leaning back where
she sits, on the table. тАШTheyтАЩd buy us Cokes and ask us to sing.тАЩ

She looks down at Cora, sitting in the chair. Cora looks up at her and
they smile.

Candy is supposed to be the leader, the one who talks to journalists,
but she is off somewhere. George has taken her off somewhere again.
 тАШWho are your favourite bands?тАЩ the journalist asks. He touches his tie

fingers stiffly bent, as though she was drying nail polish. тАШI think theyтАЩre just
so cute!тАЩ

тАШThey have the cutest smiles,тАЩ says Cora.

тАШAll the girls are crazy about them!тАЩ they chorus.

Cora and Rona and Candy would like things one day to be like in the songs.
Not the sad songs like тАШCrazy Paving HeartтАЩ or тАШLoving YouтАЩ, just an ordinary
nice song like тАШHeтАЩs the One for MeтАЩ. Candy and the Bon-Bons imagine that
all the girls who buy their records must live lives like that, which they never
get to. Candy and the Bon-Bons donтАЩt really have lives, not of their own.
They never meet anyone they arenтАЩt going to say goodbye to in a day or
two. They are always working or sleeping and never at home.

Meanwhile they are completely devoted to Skyrocket Records, and to
Sammy, and to each other. тАШHoney, youтАЩre so natural!тАЩ says Rona to Cora,
while they turn and run on for another bow. Candy smiles and lifts her hands
above them both. They all love the audiences, of course, and the
