Alice placed her hand on the wall for support, the color draining out of her face. Her breath was coming in short gasps as she struggled to not give in to the desire to just close her eyes.
“This is insane,” Bette muttered as her mind worked to absorb the sight before her. “What’s going on here?”
“It’s ok, Alice.” Tina held Alice tight to her as she rubbed her back in an attempt to calm her down. “I know you’re upset…”
“Now do you fucking believe me?” Alice shrieked as the rest of the group stood in the doorway, quietly looking at the yellow slicker. “It’s not the booze; it’s not being holed up in this log cabin! It’s Jenny!”
“Why would you think it has anything to do with Jenny?” Helena asked, stepping into the hallway past Shane to help Tina calm Alice down.
“Are you kidding me?!” Alice shrieked once more. “Does nobody here remember that insane trip on a raft that Jenny took with that damn hair-ball of a dog!?”
“Sounder,” Shane provided quietly.
“It was a menace,” Alice continued. “She left on a raft, came back with some bald guy throwing money at her begging to make her movie, which was about us obviously. And somehow, through all of that, with no ‘books on tape’, she learned French!”
“Well…” Bette began to speak when Alice threw her hand up to stop the progression of Bette’s thoughts.
“That is not as far-fetched as Jenny, in this yellow slicker, out on the lake haunting us! It’s plausible, Bette, and you know it!”
“Let’s just all go back inside,” Tina suggested as she placed her arm around Alice’s shoulders, “Coffee helps me think.”
“You need to think about being haunted?” Alice’s voice resonated with shock and anger. “Seriously? We’re going sit and chat over java while we give Jenny time to regroup!?”
“It’s a legend,” Bette said calmly. “All of this can be explained easily.”
“Can anything in Jenny’s life be explained easily?” Alice asked, folding her arms across her chest in defiance.
“All this talk about this legend…”
“I saw her before Lana even brought up the legend.”
Bette contemplated Alice’s point as Lana sat down beside Alice, placing her hand on Alice’s leg.

LMAO at Jenny’s pink sweatshirt being something that can’t be explained by logic!! I really laughed at this one! Nice chap Gumby! and nice cliff you left lol. can’t wait to read the next. *hugs*
That was a great chapter. I love the suspense.
Great chapter – it just keeps getting better and better. Very nice ending!
Gumby, your sense of humor is perfect and you have great comedic timing. The ending was priceless! Brava!
who would want Jennys body? You left us with a wild cliff hanger. Mayber Alice isnt as crazy sd we all think thanks
I love all your references to the implausible plot lines we had to deal with throughout the years…..very funny. This story is becoming more and more mysterious. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
This story is just simply excellent and fantastic and to have all the excellent writers give us a piece is just awesome. Thank you! Can’t wait to see what happens next
That was a laugh and a half!!!
Yes..totaly agree with azmmama. Priceless!
I loved this part “How about the fact that we’ve known Tina how long and apparently she has no family, no connections, and other than her accent apparently was raised by wolves?”
Can’t wait for the next chapter. This seems so challenging to pick up where another writer left off. Great idea!
Hey Gumby, Great update. It was irreverant and funny yet mixed with a pinch of reality and soup son of mystery.The yellow slicker’s appearance gave a real “I know what you did last summer” vibe to the story while the tarot cards made me think of “Ghost”.I loved the gentle pokes at the show’s lack of continuity with the gang and their family’s.Loved the cliffhanger moment at the end.I can’t wait to read more of this addictively enteertaining adventure. It ia blast.Your Loyal Fan.
OMG! That was brilliant!!! Maybe Jenny is alive .. Can’t wait!! :)
LOL And you call me evil?! I feel for Steph!! Thanks Gumby, your sense of humor, and talent as a story-teller really shines through in this chapter.
hahahaha Guys that is funny. That will be scary to have Jenny alive pmsl. Thank you guys this is sooooogreat to have you sharing this story to amuse us lol (in truth , I am scared). Can’t wait for next lol.
