Fudge, I had a stuffed animal dog named Fudge. I also had one named Taffy, and then there was Butterscotch, and Sugar, and Oreo... And then there's Slush. AND HOW COULD I FORGET, Daniel the Dead Dog. (I would say RIP here, but I'm sure he's not dead. At least I don't think he is..)

I, ElwynClark, do not own The Blues Brothers, just Jade and Elwyn.

October 9, 1960

Our Lady of Victory Orphanage

"It's going down tonight Elwyn!" Jade said to Elwyn as she ran into their dorm. Elwyn was sitting on her bed, which was towards the middle right under the windows. She was practicing tying her shoes.

"No, we can't do that Jade." Elwyn said in her quiet voice.

"Yes I can, or we can! It's the perfect plan, nothing could go wrong." Elwyn took off her shoes and put them under her bed then looked at Jade who was standing at the foot of her bed.

"I don't get how going to St. Helen's is a good idea." She said with a shrug.

"Elwyn," Jade started and she sat down next to Elwyn. "It's right next door. I just want to see what it's like there."

"I bet it's the same, just like here."

"Come on, you're no fun."

"Yes I am!" Elwyn yelled and Jade flinched. Elwyn is almost always quiet and only talks loud on special occasions.

"I was kidding. Now here's what we're gonna do."

"Jake, it's not a good idea." Elwood squeaked as he sat on the front steps of St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud Orphanage next to his brother, Jake.

"Course it's a good idea." Jake protested and Elwood gave him a weird look.

"The girl's place?"

"Yeah, it's called Our Lady of Victory. Right next door Elwood." He gestured with his hand to the building next door that was almost identical to the one they were in front of. "We run in, cause some problem then leave. No one will ever know we're gone."

"But Jake, I don't want to get in trouble again."

"You won't Elwood." Jake looked at him and Elwood started to smile.

"Are you sure?" Elwood asked and Jake nodded his head.

"Would I lie to you?" Jake asked then started talking before Elwood could answer. "So here's what we're gonna do."

"Ok El, you got your flashlight ready?" Jade asked as they both laid in their beds in dorm A. Elwyn flicked the flashlight on and off quickly and nodded her head. "Good, let's go then." The younger kids' bedtime was 9, and it's almost 10 now because they had to wait for everyone in their dorm to fall asleep.

They flipped their blankets off and rolled out of their beds then dropped onto the floor. With Elwyn leading, they crawled on their hands and knees to the door to the hall, which was closed. Elwyn reached for the handle of the door and pulled it open slowly, standing up in the process. Jade stayed close behind her as they both slipped out of the room and closed the door.

The hallway was dim, but they could still see without the flashlight. Jade pushed Elwyn towards the stairs going up. Our Lady of Victory was 3 levels, just like St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud. The first floor being the school, the second floor being dorms A and B and the third floor being dorm C and where the penguins live.

They both sprinted up the stairs as quietly as they could. They snuck by dorm C and held their breath as they passed the penguins' room. Elwyn shined her flashlight at the door to the roof and Jade unlocked it, with the key that she stole from the penguins last week. They both slipped through the door and closed it behind them. Jade walked up the few steps first and then they found themselves on the roof. Elwyn looked at Jade in her usual silence and Jade smiled.

"To St. Helen's." Jade said. St. Helen's was right next door, the only thing in between them was a two foot wide alley. Jade and Elwyn both stood at the edge of the roof and looked down three stories at the alley.

"Jade, I don't really want to fall." Elwyn whispered as she looked down with her flashlight. Jade didn't answer and Elwyn got worried. She shined the light along the edge and saw Jade a little bit farther down from her; on the St. Helen's side of the building but more towards the back. Elwyn ran over to her quickly.

"Now, you don't have to jump." Jade said and Elwyn felt relieved, but still semi-angry at Jade for leaving her alone. "Someone made a bridge." Joining the two buildings together was a 2 by 4 piece of wood.

"I think I'd rather jump Jade. That looks dangerous." Elwyn said and Jade shook her head. She walked across the board with ease and was on the St. Helen side. She turned around to look at Elwyn who was freaking out. A crash came from behind Elwyn on the Our Lady side and they both jumped. Elwyn skittered across the board and stood very close next to Jade.

"EL-WOOD!" Jake hissed. They were both sitting on the roof of Our Lady of Victory going over their plan, Jake's plan, to invade the girls' place.

"They moved by themselves." Elwood said as he sat back up and pushed his sunglasses back into place. He was leaning against a stack of lumber that decided to fall over as he sat there, causing a loud crash.

"We're gonna get caught if you keep talking." Jake said and Elwood shrugged. Jake stood up slowly and looked around the ex lumber pile. "Someone's here."

"How do you know that?" Elwood asked as he stood up next to Jake. Jake was looking across the rooftops at the St. Helen side.

"Because you made a noise." He said and Elwood looked down kicking imaginary rocks. "Elwood look, there's two people on our roof." Jake said and pointed to a couple moving shadows on the other building. He called it their roof because they both lived there.

Elwood looked over at the roof and sure enough he could see two shadowy figures standing close to each other on the roof getting closer to the door to go inside of St. Helen's. Elwood looked at his brother and shrugged.

"Hey!" Jake yelled and the two shadows dropped to the ground. Jake and Elwood ran over to the edge of the building.

"Stop yelling!" I girl's voice responded in a hushed tone but still pretty loud. Elwood shrugged again when Jake looked at him. The two shadows stood up and were getting closer.

"OK, I stopped." Jake yelled back and he sat down on the edge of the building letting his feet dangle over the edge. Elwood sat down next to him but kept his feet on the roof.

"Why are you over there? The same voice asked as it got closer. The boys noticed that the two shadows were girls.

"Why are you over there?" Jake asked back. The two girls stopped at the edge in front of Jake and Elwood. One was slightly taller and a bit overweight and the shorter one was super skinny and carrying a flashlight. They both had dark hair and were wearing dark clothes.

"We're curious." The taller girl responded; it was the same voice as before. She sat down and the other girl immediately did also. The girl who did the talking nudged the other girl. The skinny girl turned on the flashlight and shined it directly at Jake and Elwood. The boys both flinched and groaned at the bright light.

"Why are you guys wearing sunglasses?"She asked slowly then turned off the light. Jake and Elwood recomposed themselves as she put it down next to her.

"Why not?" Elwood responded and Jake grinned. Suddenly, someone started banging on the door on the St. Helen's side. The two girls jumped up and ran across the makeshift bridge back to Our Lady. Jake and Elwood ran back across and stood on the other side, listening to the banging and watching the girls flee. Elwood looked down and noticed the flashlight sitting on the edge of the roof. "Hey, wait!" He yelled.

"Come on, not now! She'll get it later!" Jake said quickly and Elwood ignored him as he grabbed the flashlight and ran across the bridge. The taller girl, who was obviously in charge, was waiting at the doorway and the skinny girl was near the bridge.

"You left this." Elwood said and he handed it to the skinny girl.

"Thanks." She said quietly.

"Elwood!" Jake yelled. "Let's go!" The banging on the door continued and Elwood picked his way across the bridge,

"Elwood," The skinny girl said softly and he turned around and looked at her. "I'm Elwyn."

Anyone want to come to the zoo? I'll find some tickets for you if you review. I'm kidding... Have you ever been to the zoo? I like looking at the animal crackers, it's my favorite part.

Review it, you know you want to.
