It had all gone awry. I left the house this morning to go on my own personal adventure, to free myself from the clutches of an insane housemate, to live in the city where no-one would know my name or face. Of course, that's not what actually happened... and now, here I was, staring down a cliff-side that plunged down at least 10,000 feet. 20,000 feet. Or perhaps it was only 100 feet. I didn't know. I couldn't tell. It was a steep drop; that's all that mattered.
Joey giggled maniacally at my back - 'maniacally,' I don't think he knew any other method of giggling - and dragged me down into the giant pink inflatable wading pool that now served as a makeshift canoe.
"Are you ready, Jen-Jen?"
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes.
"No."
"I said, are you ready?"
"No," I repeated.
"Oh, good," Joey clapped my back and sniffed loudly, deliberately. "I think the pizza is ready."
I snapped my eyes open and whipped around.
"What pizza?"
"Gotchaaaa!"
His grin widened and he shoved the makeshift canoe down the cliff-side, jumping in behind me in the nick of time.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" I screamed.
CRASH!
We came to an abrupt landing and my face smacked into something goopy, sticky, and stinky as I tumbled out of the wading-pool-canoe.
Hullo! It's been a while since I left Joey and Jenny stranded atop Esrann Canyon with a pink pool and no-where to go. :D I wonder where they'll end up next!

Yay!! They're back!!!
Joey giggled maniacally at my back - 'maniacally,' I don't think he knew any other method of giggling - and dragged me down into the giant pink inflatable wading pool...10,000 feet up, with talk of pizza... love how you work in a week's worth of prompts. :)
#LoveJoey!!!!
I've been trying to think of a proper story to throw Joey and Jenny into, plot and all! :D November project? I'll keep thinking!!
THESE SCENES ARE ASTOUNDING! They'd make a great series of one act plays, maybe ten to make up a whole evening. And at the end somehow we love them both. idk just thinking out loud here.
I'm thinking of doing a proper story with these two, plot and all. Though I think Jenny would be less.......... uptight in that case. Still easily exasperated, just less bitchy about it. Both of them loved! Joey's always lovable, she will at least be likeable.
Ideas!!!!
(Thanks for prompt delivery!)
I think she's loveable now! She irascible for sure, but who wouldn't be with a good-natured guy trying every trick imaginable to antagonize or terrify them? That she keeps going along knowing is loveable. The scenes are always surprising and engaging.
plot and all
I'm enjoying them as little bits, and enjoying too wondering how on earth it has come to this.
Here is Tuesday’s encouragement from @freewritehouse . PLEASE write us all another!
