Chapter 10

"I'm a Lesbian."

"Uh-huh."

"Ralph, listen to me! I said I'm a Lesbian. A flaming dyke!"

"So what else is new?"

"Ralph Martin! Be serious, please."

"Okay, Melody," he said gently as he put his exam papers down and walked across the room to stand by her side. "So after one night with young Cathy Abbott, you've decided you're a Lesbian. What do you want me to do about it?" His tone was sympathetic and serious, and his hand rested on his young wife's shoulder.

"Don't you want a divorce or something?" Melody asked.

"Because you like girls doesn't necessarily mean you hate men, does it?"

"No, of course not."

"I'm serious, Melody. Could you still suck a cock and enjoy it?"

"I think so. I don't suddenly hate men, if that's what you mean."

"And you never cared for fucking, right?"

"Right."

"So what's changed about you?"

"When you put it that way, nothing, I suppose. But what are we going to do? Ralph, this is a big thing in my life. Right or wrong, I never experienced anything like what I did with Cathy. And right now I'm dying to be in bed with her.

What are we going to do?"

"Before I answer that, let me tell you something," Ralph said, going on to relate to his wife the full story of his experiences with young Margie.

"You fucked an eleven-year-old girl?"

"Yes."

"How could you?"

"What is so different between my fucking Margie and what you're doing with Cathy?" Ralph demanded softly but firmly.

Melody hesitated for a moment. "When you put it that way, I suppose it's roughly the same. Oh God, Ralph, I'm so terribly mixed up!"

"On the contrary, I think you've finally found yourself, Melody. Think about it for a moment. You know this homosexual thing must have been present in your personality for some time. It's just that you've finally admitted it to yourself, and you're doing something to satisfy a natural desire. Tell me, would you be happy living with another Lesbian?"

"Oh, God, no!" Melody replied with a shudder. "I could never parade myself before society as a Lesbian."

"Okay, then we may be on the trail to a solution to what we'll do. Now that you've found how great a young girl can be, you don't want to give it up, do you?"

"I couldn't, Ralph! I couldn't...." she sobbed softly.

"Don't cry!" he said firmly. "Let's consider this objectively. The answer should be plain. We stay on right here at Heavenly Hills and we'll both have a supply of young girls."

"You make it sound so ... so cold-blooded!"

"Sorry, but that's essentially the truth. You know you can't spend your life with a twelve-year-old girl, any more than I could marry an eleven-year-old. So we must treat them as delightful little episodes, interludes in our lives. It will be the same for the girls, and they'll be free to choose what they want later on without the influence of an emotional involvement. Surely you can see that is much fairer for them."

"I suppose so...." Melody admitted.

"And if we work together," Ralph continued, "we can give them a sample of both types of love."

"What?"

"Well, you can break them in to the gay scene, and I can then give them a taste of the straight scene. That way we won't be guilty of prejudice," he chuckled.

"You're being funny, but you're right," Melody admitted, poking him in the ribs.

"We'll conduct our own special course in sex education," Ralph added, standing up and pretending he was writing on an imaginary blackboard.

"Lesbian I and Straight II," Melody responded with a laugh. "Oh, Ralph, there are times when I don't know what I'd do without you! Of course I can't become emotionally involved with a twelve-year-old girl. Why didn't I see that? But this way we can have our fun while we work."

"Eat our pussy and fuck it too. Earn while we learn!" he said with an imitation of Professor Higgins from My Fair Lady. "And wait until you meet my Margie. She has a little girl's body with a woman's mind. Her cunt is smooth as silk, and her mouth is educated, believe me!"

"I can just see you with Cathy!" Melody added, joining his game in spite of herself. "She has a woman's body with a little girl's enthusiasm for games. And her mouth! Wow! Can we, Ralph? I mean, can we really?"

"Of course. Why don't we have a party here with our two little friends?"

"But Cathy will need some convincing to let you lay her. And how do you know Margie will play gay games?"

"We'll booze 'em out of their gourds!"

"I could maybe sic Cathy onto Margie and have her break your little one in. I think Cathy could turn any woman gay. And maybe you could put a word into Margie's ear to work on Cathy to be laid."

"It's a challenge, so let's do it!"

"I'll start tonight!" Melody said gaily.

"And so will I," Ralph added. "When shall we have the party? I'm dying to lay your Cathy!"

"And I'm dying to lick your Margie! Oh, Ralph, isn't that awful!"

"Not at all. What's awful, indecent even, is to feel it and not say it. Let's plan the party for Saturday night. That way their hangover won't be noticeable in class."

"Two days! All right. Wish me luck, darling." Melody kissed him and grabbed her toothbrush to run to Cathy's room.

Ralph walked to the library for his evening session with Margie, his mind working a mile a minute. Breaking Margie into a gay session with Melody wouldn't be easy. Of course Cathy would be a big help, especially if she could seduce Margie first. His task was to lay the groundwork to have Margie accept Cathy's seduction. As he approached the library door, Ralph came up with what he was certain would be the best approach.

Ralph and Melody sat at home the following evening on pins and needles, wondering how their two young girls were getting along. They imagined every possible situation and both had to take sleeping pills in order to get some rest.

When Cathy innocently reported absolute success with Margie to Melody, Melody squealed with delight and ran to tell Ralph. Then together they began planning their Saturday night party down to the very last detail. Saturday afternoon, Melody mixed a special fruit punch and Ralph went to town to buy two bottles of brandy and a bottle of rum. Melody fixed hamburgers and the girls arrived at six.

Cathy, one of the most natural girls in the world, seemed completely at ease and relaxed from the very beginning. Margie, the youngest and a basically shy person, was stiff and nervous all through dinner. She fidgeted with her hands and blushed often, her face registering her discomfort. Ralph felt sorry for her and sat next to her, reassuring her all he could with affectionate pats and squeezes.

Ralph's attention, however, was almost entirely directed at Cathy, one of the most excitingly gorgeous young girls he had ever seen. He'd noticed her at school, of course, but the knowledge that she was an uninhibited sexual personality added a new dimension to her as an individual. He was enraptured by her long auburn hair and her full breasts which rose and fell beneath her sweater. Her pale green eyes sparkled and gazed back at him impishly, and Ralph could hardly wait to take her in his arms and make love to her.

Melody reacted in much the same way to Margie, but the girl's obvious discomfort worried her. Cathy had told Melody that Margie was reluctant at first, but had enjoyed their lovemaking once she relaxed. Would she be the same with Melody? After all, Cathy was a peer, and children often did things with their peers they wouldn't dream of doing with adults. But the child intrigued Melody. She held such promise of a voluptuous woman when she matured, and her pixie face made her doubly attractive. Melody could see what Ralph meant by a child's body. Margie's figure had yet to fill out, yet it was at that ripe, budding stage. How she longed to hold the child naked in her arms and quiet her fears with her affectionate tongue!

"Come on," Ralph said after they had finished the hamburgers and cleaned up the kitchen, "let's have some punch!"

Melody turned on the radio and they all sat about in the living room drinking punch and talking. Ralph encouraged the girls to keep drinking the delicious, fruit-tasting punch until Melody worried that the young girls would become too intoxicated to do anything but go to sleep.

Cathy had a case of teen-age giggles, laughing at anything and everything as the liquor permeated her young system, and Margie's speech became blurred. While Ralph was urging more punch on them, Melody rose and quickly took the bowl to the kitchen. She signaled Ralph with her eye and he came to the kitchen door.

"They've had all their little systems can hold!" she said firmly. "Do you want them to pass out?"

"Okay, okay. What now?"

"Why don't we start out normally? You begin with Margie, and Cathy and I will warm up. They'll feel more relaxed that way, and then we can switch partners."

"Okay, chief," Ralph said, the alcohol obviously having taken hold in his body as well. He walked back to the sofa and put his arm around Margie, letting his hand drop to her tiny bulge of a breast.

"I'm feeling terribly sexy, sweetheart," he whispered in her ear. "How about you?"

"Yes," she murmured, placing her hand in his lap and rubbing his penis as she brought her lips up to meet his. Their tongues met in a warm, moist kiss and Ralph deliberately rubbed her nipple in a massaging motion which he knew excited her young body more than anything else they did together. She moaned and grasped his growing penis in her small hand as her body arched against his.

Margie was reluctant, but as he excited her she allowed him to begin undressing her. Before long her nubile body was completely naked. She had her arms entwined around his neck in a fierce embrace, and mashed her warm body against his as they kissed passionately.

Ralph shot a glance down at the sofa and was pleased to see Melody in the final stages of undressing Cathy. His eyes glued on Cathy's voluptuous body and Ralph found it hard to believe she was just a child. Her breasts were larger and better-formed than those of many swinging girls twice her age!

"Can't we go somewhere?" Margie moaned in Ralph's ear.

"Why?"

"I mean ... well, your wife and all...."

"Look at Cathy and Melody," Ralph said, turning Margie's head so she could see the two girls at the other end of the sofa. Margie gasped and Ralph smiled. Both Melody and Cathy were stark naked with their heads buried in each other's crotch. From their position, Ralph and Margie could see Cathy's young tongue ravishing Melody's vulva.

"Oh!" Margie said, her face rushing with blood to a light blush that made her look doubly appealing.

"They're having fun. That's the idea of a party, for everybody to have fun," Ralph said. He smiled as he saw that Margie's eyes were glued to the scene. He felt her breathing increase and he knew she was stimulated watching the two girls make love to each other. It probably brought back memories of what she and Cathy did to each other the day before. "Doesn't that look like fun?"

"Y ... yes," she admitted, grabbing his cock and pumping it as her eyes remained fixed on the scene. Margie felt so strange. Her body had been warm, so warm, since she had tasted the punch, and her mind was foggy. This was the first time in Margie's life that she had been bathed in the golden glow of alcohol, and she did not understand what was taking place in her mind. All she could see was the exciting physical acts taking place, and her young body reacted.

Ralph had to struggle to remove his clothes while Margie clung tightly to his neck. When he finally managed to pull his pants off, he brought Margie's writhing body on top of his own so that her crotch was poised just above his mouth. Their work with candles over the week had expanded her vagina to where it would accept his penis, but Ralph knew she had to be good and lubricated before he attempted to fuck her. He pulled her hairless slit to his mouth and let his tongue cover it with warm, moist kisses, darting it inside the thin lips to caress her sensitive button. He felt her squirm, and doubled his attack to stimulate her juices as fast as he could.

Margie needed little encouragement when Ralph's long, slender penis was poking straight into the air just inches from her face. She knew how much he loved to have her lick and suck him, and her tongue immediately began lapping the long, smooth shaft. She cupped his balls in her hand and slowly drew the head of his swollen weapon between her warm lips.

Melody pulled Cathy up into a sitting position, playing with the girl's nipples while she quietly pointed to Ralph and Margie at the other end of the couch. Cathy watched with fascinated eyes as she saw Margie's young cheeks puff out as Ralph's long penis slid in and out of the young girl's mouth.

"Is that fun?" Cathy whispered to Melody. "Marvelous fun," Melody replied. "Want to try it?"

"I don't know," Cathy responded, her mind also clouded in an alcoholic haze.

"Look!" Melody whispered, turning Cathy's head back to where she had an unobstructed view of the other couple. Margie had changed positions and was now sitting on top of Ralph. Her body straddled his waist, and she had his long prick in her hand, guiding it to her small vagina. As Melody and Cathy watched, Margie lowered her body, spearing her pussy with the slender rod. They saw Ralph's cock slide inside, then move inch by inch up into the girl's womb. Melody had to push aside an urge to go to the couple and lick Margie's button while Ralph's cock speared her body.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Cathy asked as she watched the long prick disappear into the young girl's cunt.

"It hurts, Cathy, but the pain is one of the sweetest things a girl can experience," Melody lied, knowing how much she hated to fuck. "Look at Margie's face. Does it look like she's in pain?"

Margie's face spelled rapture. Her eyes were glassy and her tongue kept running back and forth across her young mouth. She had an impish smile on her lips that told them she was in true ecstasy.

Melody reached down and inserted her finger in Cathy's cunt, simulating stroke for stroke Ralph's fucking of Margie. She felt the young girl's body begin to respond, her hips swaying and bucking to feel the finger deeper and deeper inside her. She noted that Cathy's eyes remained glued to the spectacle as her body vicariously enjoyed the same sensations experienced by the other child. Melody increased her tempo as she saw Ralph's hips begin to buck, and she finger-fucked Cathy to orgasm at the same moment Margie reached her climax.

"OOOOhhhh!"

"AAAAHHHHhhhhhhh!"

The room was filled with groans and moans of fulfillment as Margie, Ralph and Cathy all came. Melody was left out, but she knew her turn was coming. And the thought of ravishing Margie's tender young body with her mouth kept Melody on a high plane of excitement.

"Do you want to try that?" Melody whispered to Cathy.

"I ... I don't know. Would you care, Melody? I mean, I've never...."

"Of course I don't care, silly," Melody said, giving Cathy's breast a squeeze. "In fact, I want you to try it."

"All ... all right. If your husband wants me to."

"He does, believe me, Cathy darling. But he'll be soft now, and you'll have to suck him until he's hard again."

"But I don't know how!" protested the twelve-year-old girl.

"Don't worry, he'll show you how. He's a great teacher. Ralph, Cathy wants to try that with you."

"Oh, Melody!" Cathy said, blushing.

"Don't be embarrassed, darling," Melody said. "How about it, Ralph? I'll keep Margie company."

"Fine," Ralph replied casually. "Okay with you, Margie?"

Margie nodded her head drunkenly. The combination of her intense climax and the alcohol had left her in a daze. She didn't know what was happening, and she didn't really care. Her body was still on fire, and all she could think of was satisfying her urges. She allowed Ralph to lift her and lean her against the back of the sofa. Her head was swimming, and she had to close her eyes for a moment.

"Here, let me get her some coffee," Melody said, walking to the kitchen, thankful that she had plugged in the electric coffee pot. She poured a steaming cup and walked back to sit beside Margie.

Ralph sat down next to Cathy and placed his arm around the beautiful young girl. "Do you like parties?" he asked softly, winking at her.

"Yes," she said with a wry smile, "especially this kind of party. I feel so funny-strange, wonderful, excited. This is what it must be like to be drunk, isn't it?"

"You might say that, Cathy," Ralph chuckled. "I put a little something in the punch to help you feel more at ease."

"So I'd let you make love to me?"

"Yes," Ralph admitted, a little surprised at the girl's directness.

"But I want you to do that to me," she said. "Only I've never done it with a man before. Did you teach Margie?"

"Yes, and we do it almost every day."

"Will you teach me?"

Ralph smiled and cupped her beautiful young face in his hands. Slowly, he pulled her to his body and planted his mouth over her warm lips. He felt her tongue dart inside his mouth and Ralph reached for her tits. Her full, firm mounds were like ripe fruit as he began caressing them and rolling her pointed nipples between his fingers. She arched her body and pressed it against him as she began to respond to his caressing fingers.

"Melody said I would have to suck you hard," she said in her small voice, "but I've never seen a man's thing before." With the enthusiasm and curiosity of youth, Cathy let her body slide to the floor so that she was on her knees between his legs.

"May I play with it?" she asked, reaching forward and taking it carefully in her tiny hands.

"To your heart's content, Cathy darling," Ralph said, leaning back on the sofa and scooting his tail forward to allow the child complete access to his genitals. She asked question after question about the male sex organs, and Ralph answered as best he could, teaching her slowly how to use her hands to stimulate a man. Cathy leaned forward and planted tiny kisses on the partially erect shaft, and Ralph began telling her how to suck a cock.

Holding it between her fingers, Cathy slowly inserted the head between her lips and sucked it into her mouth the way he told her to. At first, she didn't like it because it was so big and she had to strain her young jaws to get it between her teeth. But this passed and Cathy found the taste of the remainder of his cum and Margie's juices exciting as she licked and sucked. Even more exciting was the fact that it grew in her mouth. She could feel the blood pounding along his shaft and it kept swelling. Soon her mouth and throat were full, and her cheeks puffed out as she sucked.

His excitement growing rapidly, Ralph pulled the young redhead to the sofa and made her spread her legs so he could lick her. Cathy's pussy fascinated him. It was in that state between child and woman, not bald like Margie's or bushy like Melody's. He dove his face between her young thighs and ran his tongue up and down her slit. She reached down and used her fingers to pull the lips of her pussy apart, and Ralph let his tongue flick back and forth across her small clitoris.

"Oh, you're good!" Cathy exclaimed, surprised that a man could lick her almost as well as Mrs. Waller could. "More, and chew on my button a little. Oh yes! That's it! Don't stop. I like that! Oh, please, don't stop!"

Ralph smiled as he pulled his head up and positioned himself on his knees between the twelve-year-old's thighs. Her juices were flowing freely, and Ralph had an overpowering urge to sink his prick in the gorgeous young girl's belly. He held his cock in his hand and leaned forward to bring it between the thin lips of her sex. Holding it firmly, he wiggled the head of his penis back and forth across her clitoris. She squirmed and writhed at the contact, arching her hips to bring him even closer. Ralph guided his surging cock to the dark red hole in her slit and pressed hard.

For a moment, Ralph thought he had another Margie on his hands. The hole was so tight his cock perched at the entrance without being able to penetrate the tight ring. But by pressing hard, he managed to slide it inside.

"This may hurt for a few moments, Cathy," he said, "but it will go away and then you'll feel something you've never felt before." Jabbing hard, he used his hips as pistons to thrust his raging cock up inside the twelve-year-old's body. It moved slowly, fractions of an inch at a time, but steadily.

"OOWWWW!" she protested as she felt the shooting pains race through her body. Her small vagina was expanding to six times its normal size as his penis worked its way inside her.

Ralph stopped, holding his penis quiet and steady in her cunt. He didn't want to hurt her, and he knew if she had a moment or two to get used to the stretched feeling of her canal it would be easier on her.

"Do it!" she sobbed. "Put it all the way up me. Fast!"

Ralph never needed a woman to beg him to fuck her. He bucked his hips and ground down into her small body with all his might. His cock stopped when he hit her hymen, but he jabbed hard and shot beyond the broken membrane.

"UUUUggghhhhHHHH!" she moaned as she felt him rip her virginity to shreds. "Stop! Please! Stop, you're killing me!"

Ralph was an animal at this point. He ignored her tiny voice and began fucking her hard. His hips pumped and his balls slapped her tender tail as he ground into her belly with the full thirteen inches of his slender cock. He ground his pubic hair into her tender clitoris as he began a hard sawing motion.

Melody forced the coffee down Margie's throat until the girl's head cleared and she sat up straight. "Better?"

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Mrs. Martin."

"Call me Melody. Your head a little clearer?"

"Yes, Melody. I don't know what happened to me. Everything was so fuzzy and queer. But I feel much better now. Do I have to drink more coffee?"

"Not if you don't want to, Margie," Melody replied, placing the cup on the table and sitting close to the eleven-year-old. She placed her arm around Margie's shoulders and cuddled her. Melody had trouble controlling herself as she looked at the child's lovely body. "You're a lovely girl, Margie. My husband says he loves you. I can see why. I love you, too."

"You do?"

"Certainly, I love everything pretty, don't you?"

"I guess so."

Melody brought her face close to Margie's and stared affectionately into her eyes. Then, slowly their lips came closer and closer until Melody's mouth closed over Margie's lips. She felt the young girl's body go tense for a moment, but Melody darted her tongue into Margie's mouth and began running it excitingly around the girl's lips. Her hand dropped to Margie's tiny breast and her knowing fingers began tracing exciting circles on the girl's budding nipples.

After a moment, Margie's body relaxed and Melody placed her other hand between the child's thighs. Her fingers spread the girl's legs and then began probing the soft skin of her pubic mound. Ralph was right! Margie's cunt was delectable, Melody thought as her fingers probed the slender slit and she felt the warm juices flow into her hand. She darted her finger inside Margie's vagina and dropped her head to capture one of the eleven-year-old's tender nipples in her hot mouth.

Margie was confused. She felt terribly mature with the Martins, yet she did not understand them. Didn't it matter to Melody that her husband made love to Margie, and now Cathy? She remembered everything Ralph had told her about sex and love being two entirely different things, yet it all somehow contradicted her impression of love. And now here was Melody making love to her in the way Cathy had the other night. And Margie's body was responding, despite the confusion which existed in her young mind. She felt her nipples become hot and hard, and there was an itch between her legs as Melody's hand played with her pussy. Give in to the demands of your body, Ralph had said. Sex and your desires are natural, all the rest is false, something man has built to make you feel bad. His words rang in her ears as her body came to life under Melody's expert touch. Margie reached out and cupped one of Melody's beautiful breasts in her hand. It was larger than Cathy's and the nipple was already as hard as a rock!

The pain in Cathy's vagina had subsided. She still felt full and stretched beyond anything she could have imagined, but his surging penis was moving steadily in and out as he rocked his pelvis against her in a lovely motion that sent shivers running through her body. She glanced down and watched the gleaming shaft disappear into her body like a log going into a long tunnel. The sight fascinated her and she glued her eyes to her crotch as Ralph began a new motion. He withdrew his long penis to where just the head was poised inside her vaginal opening, and hovered there for a long moment before thrusting his hips and sending it racing deep into her womb. Cathy couldn't believe that all of his cock could possibly fit into her body, yet he somehow managed to sink it to the very hilt with each thrust. She felt his hairy balls rub and slap against her bottom, and that excited her even more.

Cathy secretly had two small orgasms while Ralph was fucking her, and she prided herself that he did not realize it. But just when she was feeling proud of herself, something happened inside her body. It was like a time bomb exploding-a fire bomb! Inside and out, Cathy was burning. Each stroke of Ralph's prick inside her cunt was magnified a hundred times and her nipples felt like burning coals. It was almost painful, the feeling was that intense.

"AAAAaaaiiiieeeee!" she screamed as her body exploded and her juices began flowing in torrents. Her legs flew around Ralph's waist and she pounded her heels against his plunging buttocks. Her head swung back and forth, and her small fists began beating frantically on Ralph's back.

Ralph had never witnessed such an enthusiastic orgasm. Melody was right when she said that Cathy was completely natural and had a child's enthusiasm. He had been holding himself in rigid control, because even though he had already fucked Margie, Ralph had felt his balls begin to ache almost the minute he entered Cathy's twelve-year-old body. He'd never been like this at a swinging party, and Ralph Martin marveled at how aroused he became with young girls. As Cathy's fists and heels beat tattoos on his ass and back, Ralph doubled his stroking of her cunt and relaxed his control. He was surprised to see how long her orgasm lasted, and his came upon him as suddenly as Cathy's had. It began with a rumble in his testicles. His entire body quaked and shook. His cock seemed to fly in and out of her wet cunt, and then he came unglued. Sperm began pumping through his shaft like a high pressure hose, and he felt it bounce off the walls of her young pussy and come running down the length of his shaft.

"Grrraaaagggghhhhh!" The grunt escaped his lips like the sound of a wild animal mating, which was precisely what Ralph Martin was at that moment. He felt Cathy's fingers dig into the skin of his back as her legs locked around his waist and her body clung to his tightly.

When they finally relaxed, Ralph held Cathy in his arms as they watched Melody and Margie locked in a frantic embrace. Cathy's hand held Ralph's penis and stroked it slowly as they stared at the two girls who seemed to be trying to devour each other with their hungry mouths.

Melody had abandoned her civilized state to become a predatory animal. Eating the child's cunt was the most exciting, all consuming thing she had ever done. And feeling the young girl's hungry, demanding tongue between the lips of her own pussy drove her to new heights. She bit and chewed, licked and lapped with complete abandon, until Margie's entire body was shaking out of control in the spasms of an intense orgasm.

Margie's climax was so intense she could not even cry out. Her groans of pleasure died in her throat or were muffled in the thick hairy mat of Melody's vagina which completely covered her young face. She sank her teeth into Melody's enlarged clitoris and scraped them down the entire bud.

"EEEEooowwwww!" Melody cried as she felt the sharp teeth grind into the sensitive skin of her clitoris. There was a mixture of pain and pleasure which gripped Melody's stomach and made her bowels contract. Her entire being burst into bright orange flames. Her pores opened and sweat poured out to form rivers and streams all over her body. Her tits quivered, rocked and felt like they were ready to disintegrate. And still the hungry child's young mouth kept on scraping and biting! Melody collapsed, a brief blackness enveloping her exhausted body.

Margie remained conscious, but she felt so drained she could not move. Her body was still quivering minutes after her orgasm, and her breathing remained heavy.

Cathy's hand continued stroking Ralph's penis. She smiled when she felt it quiver and begin to grow in her grasp. Adults certainly tired easily, she thought to herself.

Ralph couldn't believe the stirring in his loins. He would have sworn that after that climax he had with Cathy he wouldn't be able to sport a hard-on for a week! But here he was getting hard in the child's hand again!

"The party isn't over, is it?" Cathy asked with wide eyes and the hint of a pout on her lips.

"No, Cathy," Ralph sighed, "the party isn't over."
