                                                                                  “Revenge”


As Saturday Night approached,…Kitty managed to get herself prepared for the barn dance…
more and more she thought about the very words she had say to Katie….”The only Revenge, either of us need to have ,is to Live our Lives and just be who we are!”   taking a deep breath,…Ok ,That’s just what we’re gonna do!

A light tap on the door broke her train of thought… Miss Kitty?.. I have the hot water you asked for…
Oh, Thanks Sam… then as she let him in,… Sam, all the other arrangements are in place..?  Sam just smiling.. merely with his eyes. .at this woman he admired so much…Yes Ma’am.. all taken care of…


Several hours later, now perfectly put together, in a Ruby Red Dress…Hair perfectly curled….
She could hear the voice, that still made her Heart Flutter….   Sam, ?…Marshal… see you at the dance..
Miss Kitty should be down …ahhhh.., That’s ok Sam, I’ll wait.. I’m use to it….  Just then, “Use to What Marshal?…as he looked up…coming across the landing,… a vision that took his breath away!
Oh, …ahhhh,… Kitty ..I just …, I Just…. Waving a hand,…I know ,..you men have no patience..
As she descended the stairs,…. Just wanted to be sure not to disappoint?,…Oh, Ah, No…Never…..
Kitty you look …..gently leaning in ,… Delicious !    Patting both hands on his chest,…giggling…
Now Marshal?…   offering her his arm,.. Miss Kitty.. Shall We?

The crowd was gathering fast, Sam and a few other’s were on the loft ,providing the Music…
Festus’ and Doc again, took turns,.. callin’ the dances…lot’sa folks came to enjoy the festivities…
Many people were surprised to see Kitty in attendance…, ..few grouped around her .., to ask about her well being… then suddenly, out of the corner of her eye…,  in the direction of the entrance…  reaching up to place a hand on Matt’s arm….”Oh Matt!”   Kitty’s eyes welled up with tears….

In the entrance way stood, Billy Martin.. Proudly ..with Katie Ronniger.. on his arm !
She was stunning, in a light summery Floral print dress, that laid just off her shoulders… donned with a light string of pearls…her hair pulled lightly back off her face and pinned back with a ribbon matching her dress…  everyone stopped to take notice…  Billy chest just swelled with pride!   Katie, on the other hand was as nervous as she could be… 

Oh Matt!.. Look at her.. She’s…, She’s.. tears began to fall… Kitty,.. It’s alright.. she looks beautiful..
Oh, I know that!…now taking the kerchief from his pocket…  well, then Why the tears?…Oh Cowboy won’t you ever learn?…   Kitty , approached the young pair… Sweetheart, You look Lovely!.. and you Billy are one of the most handsome Young men here tonight..! , now blushing.. Why Thank You Miss Kitty…. Katie Honey , You’ll be fine…have fun tonight.. Remember , Just Live your life.. Be who you are!

It was a festive night, this was Katie’s night…she actually danced, laughed and really enjoyed herself for the first time in a long time…  
Later , they had a ladies choice … Lightly tapping him on the back,.. Marshal?… Would you….I mean ,..
Katie, I’d be honored…offering his arm…nervous at first,.. she dropped her eyes.. the began to speak..
Thank You Marshal… Katie it my pleasure… No, No I mean… for all you did … Miss Kitty’s right..
You are a good man.. I can see why she Lov…ahhh maybe I should just stick with Thank You!?
Katie I understand…..Marshal?…She’s important to me… Oh, I see that .. And I know you are important to Kitty too….  Then , are we friends ?,she mumbled lightly.  I mean I was not always…   Smiling a big Smile…Yes Katie, I’d like that!  

After they finished , she gently, raised up onto her toes.. And tugged on his arm,.. motioning for him to bend some,.. Place a soft kiss on his cheek..    Then she ran off…..

Feeling a tap on his shoulder…, Should I be Jealous?   I don’t know Miss Russell,.. There are an awful lot of pretty young ladies here tonight… slapping at his arm…Oh You!    Now leading him outside,….
But, do any of them…, do this ,…she pulled him out of view of everyone and without warning.. Kissed him.. Very passionately ,..(especially for them being in Public)…  And does it make you feel like….
“Kitty Russell!”…  looking at him now with a sultry Smirk…Yesssssss?   He was still trying to catch his breath…   sliding in closer to him…, Cowboy what do you say…we take this ..Oh someplace a bit more private…placing a kiss in the center of his chest….taking in his scent….”Cowboy”…I’ve Miss You!

No one ever noticed , that they left the party…, except Katie and Billy.. they saw the two.. quietly slip down Front Street…arm in arm…just between the shadows…..
