"Is that all you've got?" Petula pressed. "Huh?"

"It's not all I've got," a voice sounded from behind.

Petula spun around to see Darcy, smirking and fingering the advance button on her digital camera. Petula just glared as Darcy walked around to join The Wendys, and completed the wedge.

"What is this?" Petula eyed the trio, hands on jutted hips. "Stunt casting?"

If it was, even Petula had to admit they'd done a good job. Darcy had many of Petula's qualities and all the characteristics that she loved in her stooges, except for one: she was not a follower. Petula was fascinated at the move being made against her.

"You don't replace us," Wendy Anderson scoffed, gesturing toward Darcy like a new refrigerator on a daytime game show. "We replace you!"

"What I did or didn't do," Petula answered carefully, "is my affair."

"I didn't say you were cheating," Wendy Thomas huffed.

"You aren't even dating." Wendy Anderson sought to dis. "Everyone knows that."

Petula could only stare in amazement.

"It's not just your business," Darcy intervened, coming to their defense. "They have to answer for it too."

Judging from the crowd of kids gathered around them, most of whom were eyeing Petula with a mix of confusion and condescension she'd never experienced before, Darcy wasn't far off. Petula remained indignant nevertheless, choosing to invoke the tried-and-true "So what?" defense.
