тАШSure.тАЩ

Rona puts her head on one side. тАШWell whoтАЩs going to sing lead?тАЩ

тАШBoth of us,тАЩ says Cora. тАШWeтАЩll sing it both together, all the way
through, like the people will when they hear it. WeтАЩll make believe weтАЩre
singing along with Candy.тАЩ

Outside the recording studio cars drive in and out of the parking lot.
The studio is right in the middle of downtown, above a shoe store.
Thousands and thousands of people walk past the building never knowing
theyтАЩre right next to a place where chart recordings are being made.

The Bon-Bons sing:

тАШYouтАЩre my king
IтАЩm your queen
And forever in my dreams
We rule the world of lovers
Teen Supreme.тАЩ

Next day, Candy comes back, just in time for the Eldorado show. She
walks in the door with Sammy. тАШHello, girls!тАЩ she calls, with a wave.

тАШCandy!тАЩ they cry happily. They stare at her. Her hair is different.
Different from the way it always was before; different from theirs. CandyтАЩs
hair is brown and straight. It hangs halfway down her back.

тАШWe like your hair, Candy,тАЩ says the Bon-Bons.

тАШLook what IтАЩve got for you,тАЩ says Candy. She opens a brown paper
sack and takes out three fresh, warm donuts.

The girls donтАЩt say anything.
тАШOne for Cora, one for Rona, and one for me. Mmm!тАЩ

тАШBut Candy,тАЩ says Cora. тАШWe mustnтАЩt.тАЩ

Candy lays a hand on her flat stomach. тАШJust this once,тАЩ she says.

тАШBut Candy,тАЩ says Rona. тАШWe canтАЩt.тАЩ

Boldly Candy brings a donut to her mouth, but her mouth refuses to
know what to do with it. тАШOh well,тАЩ says Candy brightly, and throws the donut
in the trashcan.

The Bon-Bons laugh and turning, throw their donuts in the trashcan
too. They wipe their fingers on the paper napkins.
