"Long time no see, friend!"

Time strode into the room and heartily clapped Truth on the back. Beauty rolled her eyes as the old queens warmly embraced and began chattering animatedly…watching them, the average "joe" would never have guessed they'd spent the last several months bitterly denouncing each other.

As long as she could remember, the pair had a pattern of these dramatic, public falling-outs, followed by equally arbitrary and abrupt reconciliations. During their disputes, Beauty was invariably thrust into the middle, forced into the position of confidante and dispenser of sympathy. Inevitably, the moment they rekindled their friendship, she was cast aside and ignored until the next imagined slight led to another violent quarrel. Art and Poetic Justice had repeatedly advised her not to get involved, but what could she do? The source of her livelihood--her fine, hot body--depended on the mercy of one and the discretion of the other.
