Chapter#24: Truth or Dare? (II)
"Dude, what's up with that?." Harold finally broke the minute-long silence of shock after Joey asked his question.
Joey took a deep breath and sighed, it had to come to this anyway.
He told them about Ms. Gross and how he wanted to be a little happy, how he saw her personal ad in the classifieds section of a magazine and he got this idea of posing as a suitor he named 'Morgan Wilson'.
And how he got this idea…
"From the Simpsons?. Aren't we a little too young to be watchin' that darn show?." Stinky asked him.
"Uh it was censored, you know… because they aired it during the day and stuff…" Joey tittered.
"Riiight." Gerald told him half-liddedly.
"So guys what do I do? If Ms. Gross doesn't get a reply soon she'll be crushed!... more."
"Well there's a reason her name's Ms. Gross." Harold mocked.
"She's not that bad Harold." Sheena scolded.
"I agree with Sheena," Peapod joined in. "Ms. Gross may not possess great beauty as the ones that today's mainstream media feeds to us, yet, she does have a certain serene and simple beauty that draws you."
"Ok let's not get out of the subject here guys." Joey said. "What do I do?."
Everyone looked at Arnold… of course.
"Gee Joey… I'm not really sure what to advise you one. How about admitting to her about this whole shenanigan?."
"No that'll leave her humiliated!." Phoebe warned then turned to Joey. "Joey, you started it this way you should end it this way." Phoebe advised then paused and looked a Arnold.
He set us up…
Author's Note: 'So if Joey watched that episode of The Simpsons why couldn't he fix the problem himself?' I hear you ask.
Just get with the program…
