Everyone was already drawing their conclusions, and although the next full moon was still more than 15 days away, the hotels in Veracruz and Boca del Rio were crowded and reservations were sold out, reporters from all over the world were filming the Román mansion from afar, some tourists from their own luxurious yachts or those they had rented to film from the sea, the most ingenious had adapted old video cameras that worked manually, manipulating a lever to run the tape, knowing that the electronic cameras did not work when the Countess appeared, the army of the neighborhood continued its iron vigilance and the girls were already annoyed, because in that situation they could not even go out to the movies.
-This is the beginning of the apocalypse. -Romaia said. -We've been studying and barricaded ourselves in because of that damned witch, we should study the way to return her to the hell from where we took her out.
- She should at least let us have a Bacacho, Mrs. Adelina! The truth is that if we go on like this we're going to go crazy. -says Érika to Adelina, pleading.
- It's okay, girl! I'm sick of all this too, and at least we have the right to have a few once in a while. -says Adelina.
- Did she really say yes? -asks Érika incredulously, looking at the others.
-Of course she did, let's see, all those who consider themselves drunketeers at heart, to the Combi and those who don't fit, to Romaia's Caribe.
Adelina says and in a few minutes they were already leaving the mansion towards Plaza Mocambo to prepare the evening, leaving escorted by the navy unit and two more cars, belonging to the insurgent army.
Although the arrival of the famous girls to Plaza Mocambo caused a great commotion, they did not have many problems to do their shopping, because the marines that escorted them controlled the curious people that were not so many because the people knew how to respect them, besides that the boys of the neighborhood, also did their work to cordon off the areas where they were walking, they returned all happy a couple of hours later, already ready to prepare the drinks and the snacks; It was Friday the 23rd of April and Adelina had already talked to the marines about the little get-together that her girls were going to have that morning, but knowing that the street was going to be crowded with cars of locals and tourists, she told them not to allow disco music to be played near the mansion, and with the stereo with turntables and cassette players in the house, they started the party playing Kenny Rogers, the coward of the county, among other country music and tropical music by Rigo Tovar y su Costa Azul, with his famous song, "El sirenito". Chico Ché y la Crisis, among others, taking special care not to play any disco music and much less Michael Jackson, that party developed in peace, this time it was not macabre, among the neighborhood kids who could enter the courtyard of the mansion behaving politely, to live with the tenants and some other invited girls, the party that seemed to be boring, was gradually taking atmosphere, while Leticia Corréa made a social report among the attendees, and Soledad; Adelina and some mothers and fathers of the guests, watched from the terrace all the angles of the boardwalk, that night the girls danced country, those who did not know learned, danced tropical cumbia, the same as those who did not know learned, some got drunk, as Romaia and Pamela, but not Érika, as they beat her to drink, One of their unwritten friendship codes was that the one who got drunk last had to restrain herself to take care of the ones who got drunk first, and that is why she had to watch over them during their drunkenness and could not afford to lose herself in alcohol, although she continued to drink, but in a controlled manner.
Adelina officially ended the evening at 6 o'clock in the morning, although many of her drunketeers had already fallen, the remaining ones helped to arrange everything and went to sleep, sleepless and tired, but happy and unstressed.
That day most of the girls slept through their sleeplessness and the rains, and at night, during dinner, Adelina told them to hurry up with their homework because she wanted to take them to the movies, and so it was.
Sunday arrived and the movie Tron, with Jeff Bridges and Rambo, with Silvester Stallone, premiered, although some of the girls wanted to see Poltergeist and some other horror movies; Adelina did not allow them and she went with a group to see Rambo, while the other group went to see Tron.
The movies were over and that Sunday was as normal as any other weekend, before the Countess appeared for the first time, at night in the house, all of them without exception painted a door in their room, although they knew that Soledad usually slept in the same house, so they felt safer.
