This was hilarious, Beth. The banter. Oh, the banter.

I think I hurt myself.
That's the funniest thing I read in quite a while! I especially liked Jay's reaction to Ellie's explanation of her costume.
All of it was great, including Samantha's "losing the pool" because Jay wasn't a geek. And, like Darth, I'd like to read about the rest of the evening. When is "Strength 8.51" going to be released?

“Well, it doesn’t really make sense until I go like this,” I explained, ripping one of the ‘DNA’s off me and sticking it onto Jay. He still looked confused. “I’m prokaryotic horizontal gene transfer,” I told him.

I laughed hysterically again - but you know I loved this 
. Would love to see them run into the real Sman later [but in public so he has to be all polite and stuff]. Yeah - it just came to me. 8.5.1 works for me .

As long as the missing scenes are as well done as this one, you can go backwards, forward or sideways. The conversation between them was funny, as was Ellie's costume. Jay has a wicked sense of humor.

Hey, thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it.
As you know, Jay's costume was Carol's idea (although Jay is wearing it about 20 years later than she originally thought), but Ellie's costume is the result of about two hours of internet research, first on halloween costumes, and then on genetics when I couldn't find anything geeky enough to use and had to come up with my own idea. Glad to see it was appreciated.
I'm not ruling out the possibility of an 8.5.1. You've tickled my muse, that's for sure. Which is very annoying when I'm trying to write a heartfelt scene with Jay and anther character who shall remain nameless at the moment.
Anyway, thanks everyone for leaving comments.

Oh, what a turn off, looking at your boyfriend dressed up like your father! At least she doesn’t have to worry about keeping her hands of him for the night.
Maybe in Metropolis, in real life if you meet a man dressed as Superman in a cosplay convention, the first thing you’re going to think is “geek”! Of course you would be considered a geek too for attending a cosplay convention. :rolleyes:
Ellie getting some action with Superman, this is disturbing! What would Freud have to say about that? Anyway, I like Samatha, she is funny, she and Jay know just how to tick Ellie off.
She sounds so much like her father!

“Well, I guess that means I loose the pool. You’re definitely not a nerd. I can tell just by looking at you.”

“I bet ten to one that outfit gets some more action tonight after the party, right?” Samantha nudged Jay with her elbow.

“It’s never a good idea to leave an open flame unattended at a party,” I cautioned them. “It’s best to stick with electric lights.” It was a bit of a sanctimonious speech, I thought. But it was expected of me, so I had to deliver it.
