Thisis my favorite so far... and as I mentioned in the first chapter, I really love this episode (well, this subplot... it made me a Rico fan).
That's What Friends Are For – Episode 2x18
Of Man Stench and Showers
"Got to shower. Got to shower. Got to shower." Jackson kept repeating it over and over and over as he ran home from Rico's. He wore his man stench proudly, but now that nobody was around he could admit openly that there was nothing he wanted more right now than a scented scrub and a half and hour soaking in hot water.
He ran as fast as his little legs could take him, flinging open the back door and running straight into… Lilly flinging her to the floor with him.
"Ugh! What died?"
"My masculine pride, that's what died" he said, getting himself up again.
Lilly stood up too holding her nose. "Well your masculine pride really sticks."
"Beats Oliver's masculine pride. That jerk Rico conned us!"
She shook her head. "Rico beat you guys again."
"Yeah, but he's going to pay for this."
"Then why do I feel like I'm paying?" She said, still holding her nose.
"Right! Shower!" Jackson said running off again. He came back in for a second, walking backwards to where Lilly was wondering how long Miley would be searching her closet for something to wear for Jake's movie party thingie… Lilly didn't care, she didn't really want to go anyway.
"Hey Lilly!" He called to her and she looked at him. "Do you think that you can stand being around my man stench?"
"When I hold my nose… like this." She demonstrated, plugging up her nose again.
"That's not what I meant. I mean, those girls today, they wouldn't even look at us because we…"
"Stink?"
"Well, yeah… and I just wondered if I stunk all the time if any girls could look past that…"
"Why? Is your shower broken?"
"No. Of course not. I just wanted to check that if I wasn't always smelling so pretty, that I'd still be y'know… ok…"
"Jackson… you really need to shower."
"So you really couldn't stand being around me and my man stench?"
She let go of her nose and took a sniff. "I could deal with it. It kind of smells like burning car parts after a while."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Jackson smiled as he went to shower, glad there was some girls that could deal with his man stench… well… at least one girl. Being stinky really made you realize what was important. Like having someone deal with your smell. It was too bad the girls at the beach today missed out.
Your reviews mean so much! Especially you Le Mondain.
