( CHICKLET .ENTERS) 6 R ~ :l ~c_ CHICKLET

Hi folks, welcome to Malibu Beach. I hope you brought your suntan lotion cause here it's what you call endless summer. My name's Chicklet. Sort of a kooky name and believe me, it has nothing to do with chewing gum. You see, I've always been so darn ~kinny, a stick, a shrimp, so when other girls turned into gorgeous chicks, I became a chicklet. Can't say I've always been thrilled with that particular nomenclature but it sure beats the heck out of my real name, Florence. I'm supposed to meet my girlfriends, Marvel Ann and Berdine here at the beach. Marvel Ann calls it a "man h nt..!!. I don't know what's wrong with me. I like boys, but not when they get all icky and unglued over you. All that kissy kissy stuff just sticks in my

- craw. I don't know, maybe I need some hormone shots. ~ ~~ have a deep, all consuming passion. The mere thought fills me with tingles and ecstasy. It's for surfing. I'm absolutely flaked out about riding the waves. Of course, I don't know how to do it, not yet, but I'm scouting around for a teacher and when I do, 'look out world. You'll be seeing old Chicklet flying over those waves like a comet •
