An interesting, curious, complex chapter. Jane sounds like a real strange person. I found this chapter a bit difficult until I sorted out who was who. Some complex expressions in there as well. No spags.

You found a way to use the word "nincompoop" in a story - kudos to you! I'm going to have to look up the precise meaning of that word:-)

So, while the boys in the mall are crushing on Rebekah, Jane is crushing on Rachelle. This is an interesting side of Jane that we don't see in Rachelle's version of the story. That's why I hope everyone is reading both narratives

This was fun, Gretchen. I'm guessing the "surprise" is that Jane bought Rachelle's dress? I guess we'll find out.

Not sure why they cancelled your colonoscopy, but they usually reschedule those nasty things. Sorry:-(

Ha ha ha, this post made me laugh, love the word nincompoop, not heard that in a while! I have also known a few Janes in my lifetime and these people have no idea how they are being received, they just charge ahead regardless. I enjoyed your version of what happened here Gretchen as you and Rachelle travel towards the Fanstory Convention . . . . see you there! Ha ha ha, love Dolly x x x

Great chapter. Jane is the pits lol but hear me out! There is a limerick war happening currently and we are missing someone who does the dirty kind. Would she be willing to write for us? Just a thought.

    I doubt her limerick would fit in here on FanStory. I have a feeling words that rhyme with Luck and duck would be used. Thank you for the fun review. Gretchen

I thoroughly enjoyed your description of what took place at the mall. I'm glad you mentioned your daughters not taking your fashion advice. My daughter never took mine. I have known many Janes in my lifetime. One was a guy. I've just had to wait until they faded away on their own. I look forward to your next chapter.

Yay for canceled colonoscopies!
Good work on your chapter.
Rachelle and Rebekah come towards me an I watch as Jane heads to the register empty handed. - 'and' ?
I'm gonna think about it and pray about, I can guarantee that. - about 'it', maybe?
Best wishes.

This is so funny. I've known too many Janes. They have no idea how annoying they are. Then they have the nerve to say it is you who are different. Rachelle can't keep on being nice to Jane. She is bound to break at some point.

    I believe Rachelle will break. Hope I'm there to witness it. Lol. Thank you for this. Gretchen

I love the adventures of you and Rachelle and the quirkiness of the other girls in your fictional adventures with them, with the Amish behind you now, that influence has vanished, but when I met the Amish people. I would wonder what it would be like living with, well done, blessings Roy

    thank you so much, Roy. I'm glad you are still enjoying this. I think I could visit but doubt I could stay long with the Amish. Gretchen
