July 4, 1899

Tombstone. 

I walked into town this morning and Pet stopped me in the street. “Just the lady I was looking for.” 

“I didn’t do it,” I looked around. 

“Oh, yes you did! How are you today hon?” 

I tilted my head to the side and said, “Okay, I must be exhausted ‘cause I’m not gettin’ this. What’d I do?” I chuckled. 

“I ain’t said yet, but I’d like you to walk with me please.” 

“Uh huh. Lead the way,” I nodded and followed her out of town. 

Venice. 

We sat down in front of a saloon in a small town called Venice and Pet suggested some possible performance opportunities for me in the future. Ali came over to sit beside us. We talked for a while about what to wear to the festivities this evening and Ali announced that she and Gabe are the new mayors of Black Diamond. 

“Should we be callin’ you Mrs. Mayor?” I asked her with a smile. 

“Ali, you didn’t!” Pet exclaimed excitedly. 

Ali nodded and turned to me. “I will still be Ali.” 

“But Mrs. Mayor is so much more fun,” I winked. 

“It became official last night,” Ali laughed. 

“Congratulations then!” I smiled. 

“Thank you, we are very excited.” 

“You got a sheriff out there?” 

“Miss Paty is the Sheriff and Chet is Deputy I believe. We hope to do the territory proud.” 

“Reckon I’ll have to wander out that way and see if they need any help. Been getting restless in Tombstone. Want to start wandering more and work abroad as well as in town.”

“I’m so excited for you, Ali. This is wonderful news for all of Tombstone. I pray the best for you and Gabe,” Pet smiled to her. 

“Thank you Miss Pet. We have our work cut out for us but I’ve got plenty of time while Gabe is out of town.” 

We continued to talk with them and Freja came riding in on her hot air balloon and sat down with us. We talked about the bad dreams we’d been having and how lavander on the pillow might help get rid of the bad sleep. Pet and Ali got up to dance and Freja and I continued to sit as we were too tired to dance.
