User:Zorro T. Dracoyena/Traffic Jam

This is occurring 1 week after "An Alternative Means to get to the Grocery Store."

Roxie: Well, the road isn't flooded this week. *She leads Evelyn, Jenny, and Zorro out into the parking lot next to the HQ*

Jenny: Backseat shotgun! *Jumps into the seat behind the passenger's seat of the yellow and brown convertable*

Evelyn: Is that really what it's called? *Gets into the passenger's seat*

Zorro: Jenny said it. It must be true.

Evelyn: So if Jenny said that a bunch of ninjas were getting ready to beat you up, you'd believe her?

Zorro: Jenny.

Jenny: A bunch of ninjas are getting ready to beat you up. *A bunch of ninjas came out of nowhere and beat Zorro up. Jenny shrugged*

Zorro: *Drags himself into the other backseat* See? Never question... Jenny.

Roxie: *Climbs into the driver's seat* You 2 better not cause any problems.

Zorro: No promises.

Jenny: Eh.

Evelyn: Roxie, do you know how to drive?

Roxie: *Snorts* Yeah.

Jenny: Just think of this as a stunt vehicle.

Evelyn: We're all gonna die.

The little convertable lurched out into the street in front of the HQ and took an immediate left turn, heading away from Main Street. The street eventually opened up into a weird 3 lane highway with the single lane heading towards the HQ. There were still shops and stuff along the sides of the highway.

Roxie: A traffic jam? Really?

Evelyn: Good. Now I can stop being a white knuckle rider for a while.

20 minutes later...

Zorro: *Singing* I left home 5 hours ago / And I can still see my house from here / So if anybody's tryin' to find me / Well, I'll tell you where I am / Right here

Jenny: Right here

Zorro: Right here

Jenny: Right here

Zorro: Stuck right here in the middle of this... / Traffic jam / I haven't moved 1 inch from this here spot / Traffic jam / The freeway's one big parking lot / Traffic jam / Now my back teeth are floatin' and my nerves are shot / And I'm stuck right here in the middle

Jenny: Right here in the middle

Zorro: Stuck right here in the middle of a traffic jam / Traffic jam... traffic jam... traffic jam... woo!

(Lyrics for "Weird Al" Yankovic's Traffic Jam found... in the CD case I snatched off the shelf right next to me.)

Jenny: *Looks over at the sidewalk* So. What kind of a dog do you think Dogwood is?

Zorro: Hmm... A Boston Terrier.

Jenny: Or a black Pug.

Zorro: *Snaps his fingers* He's a mix of both!

Jenny: A Boston Terrier AND a Pug?

Zorro: Yeeeaaah...

Several minutes of silence.

Zorro: Let's say random things to the people on the sidewalks.

Jenny: *Turns to some guy walking down the sidewalk* Well, hello, good-lookin'.

Zorro: *Slides down to the floor of the convertable, laughing. Climbs back up* Hey, ma'am. You rockin' that hat. Rock it, girl.

Roxie: You 2 are like the kids I hope I never have!

Zorro: Roxie! That was colder than yo ice cream!

Evelyn: *As Zorro and Jenny bust out laughing* I thought you said you weren't going to have any kids.

Roxie: *Gestures to the 2 in the back* There's why.

Jenny: *Stops laughing and notices Ray walking towards them* Who is that?

Zorro: I dunno. Let's stare 'im down.

Zorro and Jenny hang over the edge of the door and stare at Ray as he walks by. He looks at them like they're crazy and continues on his way, where ever that is.

Zorro: Fuh-reak.

Roxie: Why can't you 2 act like sensible people?

Zorro: Because there are 2 things wrong with that. Neither of us are sensible, I'm not a person, and Jenny may or may not be a werewolf.

Jenny: I'm not a werewolf. Yo a werewolf, I'ma werecat.

Zorro: Oh, right!

Evelyn: Are we there yet?

Roxie: Don't start.
