trixie was back in the department store, but this time she had plenty of money.
her share, and tony’s share and joey’s share of the billions they had scored after the latest caper, when tony and joey had mysteriously disappeared after they had made their getaway.
she hoped they would not think she had double crossed them, if she ever ran into them again.
anyway, here she was, in this grand department store, and she decided to buy herself a yacht.
after a few wrong turns, she found herself in the yacht department in the center of the store.
the yacht department had an ocean in the middle of it where customers could take the yachts for a spin.
trixie selected a nice looking blue yacht with green trim and took it out into the deepest part of the ocean.
she came to an island. the whole island was surrounded by a golden beach.
trixie saw some people she thought she knew on the beach.
people like cinderella, little bo beep and her sheep, hillary clinton, and joey’s sister jennifer.
jennifer waved to her and trixie moved the yacht a little closer to shore.
suddenly the beach was covered with fog…
she felt she was going to crash onto the shore… people on the beach started to run…
trixie woke up.
in the motel in west virginia.
she had decided before going to sleep that if it was a nice day, she would not buy another bus ticket, but start to hitchhike back to atlantic city.
she pulled the venetian blind back and saw that the sun was shining.
she dressed, packed her toothbrush and toothpaste in her little bag and went downstairs.
there was a clerk she had not seen before at the desk, and she gave him the room key and checked out.
she went outside. there was a bench beside the door and pete pickering was sitting on it.
pete stood up when he saw trixie. he had a book in his hand and he held it out to her.
you forgot your algebra book, trixie, he said. you have a test on tuesday.
