Trixie flopped across Diana’s luxurious bed and stared up at the embossed ceiling above her.

"Gleeps! I don’t know what to do. Tell me what to do, Di," Trixie begged.

Diana sat down on the bed beside Trixie.

"Let me see if I got this right. You had plans to go out with Tad and some other friends. Then the Bobwhites decided to have a movie night at Manor House. You have to choose and you don’t want to. Is that it?"

"Yea, I guess so," Trixie answered quietly.

Neither girl spoke for a few minutes. Finally Trixie asked,

"Do you think I've changed?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, a year ago, I would have jumped at the chance for the Bobwhites to be together for something like a movie night. I loved that camaraderie and I still do. But I also like to have fun with other people. Is that wrong?"

"Oh, Trix," Diana said as she gave her friend a hug. "Honey and I went away to college. We definitely changed through that experience. Now it’s your turn. It’s called "growing up." So of course your likes and preferences change. And no, sweetie, it’s not wrong. Not growing up would be wrong. Anyway, I like the new Trixie. She does what she wants to do. She is an independent woman...and fun!" Diana smiled approvingly at her friend.

"But I don’t know what I want to do tonight," Trixie wailed.

"I bet you do; you just don’t know it," Diana said.

She stood up and crossed the room to her vanity. Digging through a small box on top of it, she found a quarter and brought it over to Trixie. Diana began tossing the coin up and down.

"What’s that for?" asked Trixie.

"You can’t decide. This will do it for you. "Heads" you do the Bobwhite thing. "Tails" you go out with Tad. Agreed?"

Trixie nodded and Diana gave the coin a firm toss into the air. Diana caught the coin and flipped it over onto the back of her wrist.

"Ready?" she asked Trixie.

Diana pulled away the hand that was covering the coin. "Heads", said Diana. "I guess you’ll be with The Bobwhites tonight."

She looked Trixie squarely in the eye.

"But that’s not what I wanted it to be," Trixie said quietly.

"I know." Diana grinned. "So now go out and do what you want to do. And Trixie, tell Tad I said ‘Hi’."
