The Story The Authors

But they ignored her. They all had the odd feeling that something quite significant had happened, and then suddenly it had not happeded and they were stuck in the past, being forced to make a different decision. Oddly, that was true, but only people who have read the story in the past seveal months will ever know what it was that happened, and then didn't happen. I won't hint at it and I hope no one else will. OKay, so back to the story. Janice, Patrick, and Jeremy, being grownups, diceded it was just deja vu, but Kristi and Joel didn't, but they decided to forget about it anyway. So they all started to snack on smoked bacon and smoked salmon because that was all Alana would give them. She wanted them to think the house was on fire because of all the smoke. But it didn't work, so Alana screamed again and Carolyn

again. Alana said to Janice "Why is Patrick wearing his pajamas in mid-afternoon?" dooley

Janice replied, "Has it ever occured to you that Patrick works the third shift? Or are you so caught up in your own reality that you forget that others live differently than you?" Alana scoffed. "Excuse me....I really meant no..." "No harm? Is that what you were going to say?" Janice exclaimed. Suddenly, there was a crack of lightning. Both women turned towards the window and screamed when they saw mathilda long

a 747 jumbo jet headed straight towards them. Patrick, Jeremy, Joel and Kristi began to scream too. They were all stunned with fear and wasting their precious escape time. Suddenly, the ghosts of Dianne and Dawn appeared. They whisked the whole bunch out of the kitchen the instant before the giant aircraft crashed into Alana's apartment, and carried them to a secluded beach where they could figure out just how significant Alana and Patrick were to the story. They all found themselves sitting in the sand. Alana and Patrick were very disoriented by the experience but Janice, Joel, Jeremy and Kristi were getting used to these kinds of things happening by now. Janice caught sight of a small object half buried in the sand. She picked it up and it seemed very familiar to her. Then she realized what it was. "Oh my God!" she said. "This belonged to Terence!" Sandy

"Oh my God!" said Kristi. "Don't tell me it's that damn nipple ring he was so proud about." Everyone gathered around Janice to get a better look at the mysterious object. Alana said Bella

"Who did you say this nipple ring belonged to?" Alana's voice wavered. "My son, Terence." Janice said, choking back the tears. "Oh God!" Alana took the ring and fell to her knees, caressing her cheek with the nipple ring. "He was my boyfriend!" she cried. "We were supposed to be married but he disappeared and I never knew what happened to him." Alana sobbed uncontrollably. Janice, Jeremy, Joel and Kristi were shocked. They never knew that Terence had a girlfriend. And what a huge coincidence that they should meet her like this. But was it truly coincidence or was fate playing games with them. "Please," Alana said, her eyes red and swollen from crying. "Please tell me what happened to him. Why did he disappear?" All eyes were on Janice, but it was so long ago and so much had happened to her and her family that she had trouble remembering what became of Terence. All she knew was the overwhelming feeling that he was long dead. But if that was so, why should they find his nipple ring now, here, on this beach? Perhaps he was still alive and in need of help. none

Then it all came back to Janice. Terrence had dressed up as a prom queen and had tried to murder some people. Then the costume had fallen off and Terrence had been pepper sprayed to death by Biffy the Prom Queen Slayer because he was trying to murder Janice and Joel. Janice said that and then Janice started crying about her poor son, and alana cried about her poor boyfriend, and Kristi cried about her poor brother but Joel said he was glad that happened and no one could decide weither that was very sensible or very cruel and unfeelng. Just then Jeremy and Patrick came back from examining the nipple ring and said, Carolyn
