'It was just after sunrise on the Diso High Orbital station as Debbie awoke. Vague memories of last night's party swam across her mind and she shook them away. Yesterday was in the past and she preferred to concentrate on the present. She tossed the satin sheet aside and climbed out of her immense double-Emperor bed and slipped into the figure-hugging silk dressing gown that was draped across the genuine imitation Louis XIV chair. She sauntered over to the apartment's door even as the bell chirruped again. The door slid open to reveal the brawny frame of Randy the Handyman. His moustached mouth rearranged itself into a pearly-white grin and he spoke, "I've had a report that your water pipes are blocked..."drew wrote:Somebody else will have to write "Debbie does Diso"....
Debbie sighed. It looked like it was going to be another long day.....'
