Wow! You took this chapter up ten notches. "Twinsies" made me angry. A good ole food fight.

Question. I thought this meeting was a preliminary gathering before the main event. Or, is this it? I hope there's more, with many more FanStorians. Let me know in case I want to add a chapter.

THE Tom - oh, my goodness! Out of hiding. I am sure there will be plenty of questions heading his way at this convention! Jane Babies should have known better than to trifle (ha) with Rachelle, and now it's on for one and all! Wonderful fun chapter!

I glance at my watch. "Time to go." I announce, grab the closest glass of champagne and pound it down. This is going to be a long night. I can feel it in my bones. A food fighterz makes things interesting try saying. Scurry to the other side of the table and watch as Jane grabs a handful of red sauced pasta and hurls it at Rachelle. Next, I see a handful of baby carrots go flying through the air. Dolly grins and next to her, Gypsy is reaching for the grated cheese. They both aim at Jane. This was fun especially when people we know are involved in it.

OMG!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! This! Is! HYSTERICAL!!! Thank you for letting me have the honor of smushing her face into the potato salad...and G-d bless Dolly and Gypsy for having my back.

And you under the table, stress eating with Tom Ens!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! And you make the most of the opportunity by requesting additional stars per week!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAA!! I can SO TOTALLY see you doing that, too!!!

Great work. You have really outdone yourself (yet again.) Love it to the max!!

    I'm glad you liked this. I can't wait to read the other chapters. I've read Wayne and Dolly and one was hysterical and the other a nice warm hug. This experience has been a blast. Gretchen

The food fight was hilarious, and I couldn't stop laughing. The minute Jane Baby reappeared, there was no doubt that Rachelle's pent-up steam was about to explode. You both did an outstanding job, and I hope the follow-up stories do just as well. I know everyone on this site has outstanding imaginations, so we should be in for a lot of laughs. Great job!
Smiles, Carol

    Come on, Carol. You have to write a chapter of your experience at the convention. Gretchen

This was terrifically funny, Gretchen. A food fight among the FanStorians. Priceless! What a great touch with you meeting "The Tom" under the table, and with all he has to worry about now, you ask him for more 6-star reviews to give. That had to be one of the very best lines in the whole story.

I also loved your BMX analogy to explain the duplication of dresses to your husband. This is such a fun story. I can't wait to see how you resolve it.

This was such fun to read. How appropriate for this crazy trip to end in a food fight. If such a convention was actually taking place, I wonder what 'the Tom' reaction would be. Thank you for going also and writing your portion of this hilarious book.

    Thank you so much. I'm sure The Real Tom would get things under control. Gretchen

I have to save the six for Miranda; she'd not forgive me otherwise. Like you, that would be the first favour I'd ask Tom, but it wouldn't get me anywhere. I so wish I had read this from the beginning, but I think you started it when I was away, and I've been off site so many times. But if you and Rachelle publish this, I'll be first in the queue to buy it. I thought this chapter was hillarious, and want to start it from the beginning. Will you publish? I loved this!! :))Sandra xx

I'm still laughing after reading this chapter, especially when Rachel smushes Jane's face into a bowl of potato salad. Good stuff.

I haven't been able to each chapter but when I engage, it seems I'm brought up to speed, and enjoying the moment.

Thank you.
John

Excellent writing. (Can't say as much for table manners - but all's fair in love and war.)
I would like to have had Jane's false eyelashes and false other things fall off.
I think you will get several chapters 38.

    I enjoyed your offering to the story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The eyelashes and other falsies falling off would have been hysterical. Gretchen
