Bette and Joan At the Mall.

It all started on a hot roaring day up in Manhattan, at Something Something Mall. Bette Midler and Joan Rivers had just saw each other in Bloomingdales, so they thought about going to Something Something Mall. Bette was the sweetest kindest person you've ever met, though on the other hand Joan Rivers deep down was a complete reverse snob when she was on her big girl time.( Well as we ladys call it...A period.) Bette of course never noticed it when Joan was grouchy at some points. Today though she was going to notice Joans edginess, which was going to cause a little problem.

Joan was walking along with Bette heading to the "Lady Headquarters." They were both going to tryout for a movie called, " The Meddlers", so they needed to freshen up abit. Everybody thought they were so sexy and so young, but still perfect is the best word for them. They headed for the makeup stand where you could test it out before you buy them. Bette picked up Lip Liner and smoothed it on her lips. All Joan was doing was checking out her fading wrinkles, she was noticing that the botox she got yesterday wasn't clearing her wrinkles. Bette though was anxious to start a conversation, just bring some laughter into the halls.

" Hey Jo, does this Lip Liner look ok? I don't want it to be to much for the auditions tommorrow." She perked up her lips in a funny look with her eyes open wide, just to make Joan laugh. Joan though wasn't in the mood so she just rolled her eyes and pressed on. Bette followed her and tapped her on the shoulder. Her eyes went big again, she opened her mouth like someone told her she hada second chin, and stared in a unusual gaze. Still Joan just rolled her eyes and gasped irratedly.

" Ok what is wrong Jo?" Bette asked concernly as she patted her on the shoulder, while her smile turned into a frown. Joan didn't answer, she just moved on to the next shelve like she was ignoring her, looking now at the diamond rings. Bette could tell she was fustrated but she wanted to know what was wrong with Joan. Joan was like her friend, and she couldn't stand for her to be upset. So she walked over there and grabbed her hand kindly with sweetness. Bette tried to smile and she said, " Jo come on! You can tell me whats wrong! Please honey tell me, Im worried outta my mind here."

Joan just turned around at her with a srounched up face, and exhaled all what she was holding in. " Nothing is wrong with me MISS M! I am perfectly fine only I cannot stand your perticulary funny ways and donot dare call me Jo! Its Joan you putz!" Joan then went to go leave but Bette grabbed her arm this time madly, and her face was fully red hot. She usually didn't get mad easily except she wasn't in a good mood either.

" Who the hell do you think you are!?" She said in a low but firmed tone.

" Joan Rivers, a legend, on Johnny Carson. What are you a botox legend, no no let me guess you won the best botox ever done!?"

Bette's face went into total shock, and her face got angrier as when Ken Wahl was hurting her. " Actually look who's talking! I haven't been stiched and pulled like a stuffed turkey!"

Joan Rivers turned around and looked Bette straight in the face, just with these mean and scary eyes... it was kind of scary to bette because a wrinkle scar was appearing. Well she imagined it, which made her crack up a little bit.

" What's so funny!?... Huh... Your not so funny as you think you are!!" She replied in a fashionably angry loudish tone.

" I know I know! It was just spontaneous combustion." And with that Joan Rivers stormed out the store and out the mall, heading towards her home.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ********

It was a loudish and noisy night that twenty-four day, especially because of what happend at the mall earlier. Bette now was at her apartment in her and Mahtins bedroom, rethinking the memory that just happened a while ago. She kept on thinking at first it was her fault, even though it wasn't she still felt bad. The bubble in her stomach kept on telling her to go and set things right with Joan. She felt even worse when she thought about the turkey saying she told her. She just couldn't stand it anymore and ran to head for the door with her Persian purse, when Joan walked in the door. Bette stood there like a frozen statue, her legs wanted to move but as stubborn as they were they didn't.

" Look Bette.. I am truly sorry for what I said! I just am on my Period, and I was kind of edgy! I apologize I truly do."

Bette ran over to where Joan was standing and hugged her ever so tightly. " I am sorry too. I didn't mean what I said. Lets just forget this never happend and go out to Li Cirqures!"

Bette then tripped her and they laughed al the way down from the elevator.

END.
