This is what happened after I grabbed you. i ran smack into the last [person I wanted to see: Raul 1. Finally I grabbed him by the collar and said, "Why did you do it?" He looked puzzled and said, "Do what?" "Cheat me out of my position," I said. Rul asked, "How did I do that?" I responded, "One day I was number 2 writer, and the next day number 7. And you took my place as number 2!" "I didn't do nothing," he said, "and you always say nice things about my writing!" I responded, "That's cause I can't say nothing bad about anybody." Then I had a root beer and went home.

    Heaven's to Betsy, you are a bit snarky. You never griped at me for winning stuff. Krogers root beer zero is pretty good. Thanks for the read. Karen

Well, fiction is a wonderful thing. We can imagine everything the way we wish it might be and add all the little turns and twists to create a masterpiece. But then, we wake up in the morning, still wishing it was true.
Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, well at age 45 all the body parts worked exceedingly well. It was a no brainer that I would jump someone. You were my first choice. And I did wonder if I would considering that if we did remember it, it would be bittersweet. But, in the end, I thought this might be my last shot. And you were up there on stage in your undies and boots. Do the math. The idea of it was too good too pass up. Besides, I said you were really good. Who do you think I should have picked? :-)
reply by Ric Myworld on 16-Nov-2024
    Who knows who you should have picked. You might have made the right choice, but I don't know anyone else enough to say otherwise. :-)

    You are my friend, and if someone wanted to ask you about what we did, I knew you would just smile and say it was special, smile, and that would be all you would say on the matter. You are a gentleman .
    You would never mention that you wanted me to tie you to the bed and.................Like, I said you are a gentleman. So, you were the perfect choice, besides you are awful cute. :-)
reply by Ric Myworld on 16-Nov-2024
    I always hope to be a gentleman, naughty as I can be, but cute, I'm not so sure about that anymore. But I'm glad you think so, and I'd like to think I'm not too hard on the eyes. Your picture leaves lots to my imagination, but you have good taste, the picture you use is adorable, as are the women in your pictures, delectable as apple pie, they ignite curiosity. :-)

    You will be glad to know that many of the women were jealous that I snapped you up first! You still got it honey bunch. And a fair few of the menfolk were upset they didn't even get a dance. We are a hot ticket it seems, even in fantasy. :-)
reply by Ric Myworld on 17-Nov-2024
    LOL. Well, it's better to still be out there mixing it up than sitting home trying to remember when. :-) Hugs, Ric

    Ever since leaving my soon to be ex husband, I have gotten stronger, I am sitting longer, walking and doing more, and enjoying my life much more. I hope to go and get my license again. I miss running errands. But, until I can afford a car, their is no point, But I can dream all I want :-) Karen

Lucky duck Ric.
All I got was a dance. One lousy dance for all the hassle I've given you. 'Bout makes me wanna take my curt mean-ness back. (smiley face here)
Well done.

    You are married honeybunch. He is single. I am a lady. I do not cheat. But you did grab my ass once. Thanks for the read. Karen
reply by Wayne Fowler on 16-Nov-2024
    Ahhhhh
    (Didn't know Ric was single)
reply by the author on 16-Nov-2024
    I am a lady. I have been separated for two and a half years. And, it was a fantasy anyhoo. Most the guys I know on here are either married or widowed who still miss their wives. Not a lot of singles as far as I know anyway. Next convention, I will have to think up something new. Karen

Well, I just need you to tell me all of what is written here actually came to pass, and that this convention was a real event. Where did you leave from to drive through Texas to get to NJ?
The only ask I have is whether the photo with this release is you, a friend... never mind I see the Pinterest message. Still, pls forward a snapshot of you plaster in your dress, please.

    This is fiction. My figure at 45 was super good. But, alas, no plastered dresses in my keepsake box. Thanks for the read. Karen

Ha! Ha!
I loved this version of the story, especially the part about us being forty-five again. What an imaginative piece you have delivered, Karen.
God bless,
Steve

    Well, I was thinking how nice it would be to dance at the convention like I did when I was 45. Then it was Off to the races! Thanks for the read. Karen

    Yes, it was a great story. I think everyone will enjoy it.
reply by the author on 17-Nov-2024
    I hope so. I tried to think of who I converse the most with. It was fun, even if, late. Karen

Oh, Karen, I can tell you had a lot of fun with this tale.
This is enjoyable to read and I loved picking out the different characters from fanstory in this story about all of us getting together and having a ball. An excellent entertainment if I do say so myself. Fun and laughter for all!
I am sure you and Ric had a wonderful time away from the rest of us at this fantasy ball.
Jesse

    In my fantasy, I could of had us all flying through the air without jet packs. But, I chose dancing, and watching a food fight. I am a lady, so I will not comment on the other stuff, other than to say, we made memories :-) Thanks for the read. Karen
reply by Jesse James Doty on 16-Nov-2024
    Fun for all! Flying would have been fun as well as dancing. Either one works.
    Make memories.

    Next convention, where should it be? Karen
reply by Jesse James Doty on 16-Nov-2024
    How about Los Angeles? The Staples Center is a great place for conventions.
    I used to go there for the WNBA basketball season. The Sparks were the best!
reply by the author on 17-Nov-2024
    That is a straight shot for me. The Texas group could rent a big RV and go together. Karen

    Sounds like a winner of a plan!

    I pick Hawaii or Dallas. We have a dozen or so Texans here. We all looked great and felt great. These days that is worth real money. Thanks for the read. Karen

Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed reading. It was a lot of fun to read. You are so creative. In some places your dialogue read like narrative. You might want to keep an eye on it.
