THE CONCERT
"Thank you very much for coming out tonight to see Dross." The sweating front man for Dross, wearing a gold lame vest and tight pants, strutted across the stage rubbing his crotch. "Here's our final set. Our new CD, Virgin Poker, and Virgin Poker tee shirts to remember tonight are in the back. At our trailer outside you can get a picture of the band autographed by one of the band members, for a handsome price. And if there are any virgins out there ...". He paused to allow some cat calls and whistles to ring out. "... and if there are any virgins anywhere, stop by our trailer out back and Dross will fix you. Up close and personal, Dross will remove that stigma from your lives." The audience electrically cheered and clapped.
As the drummer began the last set, Monica turned to Cindy. "So, it is true. Let's go, now. We can hear from outside."
"Are you sure?"
"Remember we promised each other? Yes, imagine actually meeting Dross and Vigo..." Monica clasped Cindy's hand and lead as the two began to weave through the cheering concert audience that was on their feet singing, dancing, and swaying.
Outside their ears rang. They meandered around the building to find a collection of semis and trailers in back. Four young men wore navy blue windbreakers that stated in white, EVENT SECURITY. A line of fifty, mostly females, stood facing a sign on a pole that read PHOTOS AND ETC. Security herded the concert attendees into the line as some roadies constructed zigzag lanes to handle the expected volume after the show. Cindy and Monica watched two canopy tents set up and table and chair brought out for each.
The music finally stopped and cheering ensued. Soon more and more guests filled the chute-like line and finally some staff people came out and some sat under the tents facing the crowd. A sign was posted on one of the tents: PHOTOS $15.00. The other read SECURITY.
"Do you have fifteen dollars?" asked Cindy.
"I only have a ten."
"I have it. I'm nervous."
"I'm excited."
A thirty-ish woman, sporting a black windbreaker that read DROSS STAFF, walked up the line past the girls. Cindy watched her stop and chat briefly with every model like-beauty waiting in line. Some shook their heads and some got out of line and walked to the security tent. They produced something from their wallets and then were escorted inside one of the trailers.
The line became really long. The woman in black windbreaker escorted the tenth woman, Cindy had been counting, to the security tent and then returned to the head of the line. She seemed to be asking each woman in line something and rapidly moved along but once in a while she would send a young girl to the security tent. Monica and Cindy strained to listen to the woman.
"Are you a virgin?"
"No".
"Good. Stay in line and get your autographed picture." The conversation just repeated.
When the woman reached Cindy she answered, "Yes".
"Would you like Dross to make you into a woman?"
"Yes," answered Monica. "Me, too."
The woman looked bored at Monica and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Damned right I'm sure."
"Are either of you on your period?" Cindy and Monica shook their heads, No. "Good. Report to the security tent and have your ID ready." Then she turned and stared Cindy. "If you're sure, go to the security tent with your friend."
The woman moved on along the line. Cindy hesitated to move. Monica came back and took her hand and led Cindy to the security tent.
A young man in his early twenties sat under the security tent with a black windbreaker that read DROSS SECURITY. He looked up and down at Monica and Cindy. "You're here for the Dross special service, right? I need to see ID's that prove you are at least twenty one."
"I'm only --," replied Cindy. Monica elbowed her silent.
"Yes, we are both twenty one," answered Monica.
He pushed a form before each girl. "Just sign a lost ID affidavit attesting to your name and legal age." Then he pointed to a sign that stated the year of birth for a twenty one year old. After the girls digitally signed the form and the security man took a digital photo of each, a temporary ID was given to each and they were directed to enter the yellow trailer.
Monica walked up the steep, wooden steps and found the door locked. The door was opened from inside and another thirty something woman in black DROSS STAFF windbreaker welcomed them in and shut the door behind them. "You're both here for the Dross special service, right?" The trailer had a Dross CD playing as background music.
Both girls answered affirmatively. The older woman pointed to a card table with a dozen plastic glasses of wine and said, "Take one. It is a double serving to relax you." As they drank the woman continued. "You're here to lose your virginity to Dross, right? I want you to be certain. I don't know who you'll meet with but afterwards you'll have your photo taken with Vigo. Isn't that exciting? Now, I must say if either of you is not actually a virgin then you'll be dismissed immediately, without ever meeting Vigo. We don't like liars." Both girls just stared blankly at the woman. "Okay, follow me, ladies." She led them down a corridor with eight numbered rooms on either side. "You're fortunate that you're the first batch in today. Miss, room number 3 on your left, and you, room number 4 on your left."
The doors revealed a small changing room with a chair. "Okay, put your ID's and all of your clothing, except your shoes, into the white laundry bag. Then put on the white terrycloth bathrobe. When you done with your wine, deposit it into the waste can. Wait here until I call you. If have to use the potty or want another glass of wine come back to the front and see me."
Cindy sat in the room with her door shut, stunned. Was she really going to do it? It seemed events were rolling without her control. "Cindy?" a harsh voice called. "Can you hear me?"
"Yeah, Monica."
"Isn't this exciting? We finally get to meet Vigo and get fucked by him."
"Yeah..." Cindy heard Monica bustling. Cindy decided she had better change. Her mind raced with all kinds of images.
After awhile, the waiting became boring. Cindy could heard more virgins being brought in to fill the empty changing booths and the canned speech given. "Cindy? I'm tired of waiting. I'm gonna get more wine. How about you?"
"No, I've had enough. I don't want to pee all over Vigo." Monica chuckled and her door opened.
