A/N-I could not resist writing this one, this chapter will be based off of 'You got to have Friends'. Ted gets behind on his child support payments and Mary Jo has to take a job at a fast food joint, 'Burger Guy'.
I never could find the name of any 'guest stars' so just imagine all the customers at the joint who would be a lot of guys. Also, Bernice was on this show so...enjoy! ( P. S. think of my previous chapter with Bernice, it might help you with the fun!)
*Lives
Julia, and Mary Jo were busy walking around the office and Bernice was sitting down in a chair drinking coffee and she was being unusually quiet for Bernice and it made Julia and Mary Jo curious but they were not going to ask why then Anthony comes in the back French doors reading a newspaper and Julia says,
"Hello Anthony"
He doesn't even really answer, doesn't even look up from the paper and Mary Jo and Julia look at each other and Bernice says,
"Anthony, Julia is sitting over here naked"
Anthony just says,
"That's nice"
Julia says to Bernice,
"Bernice!"
Just then Anthony looks up and says,
"What? Oh, Bernice, don't even joke about a woman being naked. To a man, that is the worse thing to say that a woman is naked and she's not"
Mary Jo giggles then Bernice says,
"Well, it got your attention"
Julia just turns her head and asks,
"What had your attention Anthony?"
He clears his throat then says,
"Well, you recall a few weeks ago how we all worked at Burger Guy that night to help out Mary Jo?"
Mary Jo rolls her eyes then says,
"Don't remind me Anthony, a working nightmare in my life"
Julia then says,
"It wasn't the highlight of my life either"
Bernice smiles and says,
"I thought it was fun...when can we do it again Mary Jo?"
Mary Jo just smiles at Bernice then Anthony says,
"Well, according to this article, there has been a sudden surge in payments of dead beat dad in child support"
Julia says,
"Well, that's good"
Anthony goes back to reading the article then says,
"Yes, it's just that, it seems that what all the 'dead' dads, as I say, have in common, is they have all either worked or have consumed the fine quality of food at Burger Guy"
Julia and Mary Jo look at each other then Mary Jo says,
"That is strange"
Julia then says,
"All I'll say is, don't show that article to Charlene, she'll make something spooky out of it"
They all laugh and Julia says,
"Let's get back to work...Anthony, you need to go get that order ready for Mister Braddish"
He says,
"I'm on my way"
Julia goes back to work and so does Mary Jo but Bernice just puts down her coffee cup and recalls some situations,
She is in a bedroom that is decorated very manly then she sees Ted, Mary Jo's ex-husband come in the bedroom and you can tell he is just out of the shower and he sees Bernice and he looks shocked and asks,
'How did you get in here?'
Bernice just calmly says,
'I'll ask the questions Bozo'
He then says,
'You're that weird friend of Mary Jo's...Betrice isn't it?"
She looks sightly put out then says,
'It's Bernice and you should talk about being weird with the hair on that chest...monkeys have less'
He picks up his brown shirt to put on and asks,
'What are you here for?"
She says,
'I'm here to discuss something'
'What could we have to discuss?'
She just simply says,
'Well, for one about you being a dead beat dad, a loser, a scum on the face of the Earth'
He looks surprised then says,
'How is that any of your concern?'
She tells him,
'Mary Jo is a friend of mine and she's working her fingers to the bone trying to make up for what you are not doing and I want to know if you are going to fix it'
He looks at her with a innocent face then says,
'Look, I'm having some money problems right now and I'll get to it when I can and even if I don't; Mary Jo can take care of things, she always does"
Anger enters her face and she says,
"Wrong answer"
She looks at his feet and little shots of lightening come on his feet more than once and he does a little dance and she laughs then he asks,
'Will you make it stop?'
They stop and she asks,
'Are you going to pay up or do I start again?'
He sighs then says,
'I'll start"
She nods her head then says,
'Good...and by the way Ted, don't think that just because I'm leaving that I won't be back if you don't pay ever dime!'
He looks at her then says,
'How do I know this isn't a dream?'
She looks at his table by the couch and lightening falls from out of no where and she smiles then says,
'Bye, I have place to go'
She goes to several other house, many more. She pops in on one guy reading a book in his chair and drinking wine and she says,
"I'm here to talk about your daughter, Samantha...I hear you haven't been taking care of her'
Just then Mary Jo says,
"Bernice? Bernice? Are you okay?"
Bernice smiles and says,
"Oh yes, I just didn't get much sleep last night"
Julia asks,
"Oh, why?"
Bernice smiles and says,
"Oh, I guess I had so many things flying around in my mind"
Julia then asks her,
"Would you like to go lay down in the guest room? Mary Jo or I will wake you up"
She stands up and puts down her coffee cup then says,
"I will, thank you"
She turns and skips to the staircase whistling then Mary Jo asks,
"Bernice? Isn't that the theme to 'Bewitched'?"
Bernice laughs then says,
"Why so it is"
Mary Jo asks,
"Why are you whistling that?"
Bernice tells her,
"Julia's mother and I, Perky watched it when she was here, I guess it just got stuck in my mind like a roller coaster"
Mary Jo just turns to go back to work and Bernice goes up the stairs but she stops and turns and smiles at her girls.
A/N-Did she really do that...or?
Heheehe
