Tonight's Episode: Veronica

Starring: Matt Bomer as Guy Handsome, Jared Leto as Joe Handsome and Special Guest Star Rosario  Dawson as the Goddess Pele.

Guest Starring: Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jessica Simpson, and Jessica Szohr as Veronica

Guy was shooting the breeze with the Big Man at his magazine stand, and Joe was flipping through his copy of The Actuary Magazine.  (Actuaries liked that name for a magazine for actuaries.)  Things were at a normal lull for a Sunday morning at the stand.  People sleeping in, people at Church, people at breakfast.  It was gorgeous out, the heat had not yet built and the humidity was low, and the trades were blowing in from the ocean, carrying with them hints of salt and surf that promised a day of such fun to anyone who was not working.

Of course, if you loved your work, like the Big Man, and Guy, and (to a lesser extent) Joe, it could be a good day, too. 

And if a friend from home whom you hadn't seen since college suddenly showed up in your life again, you could parlay it into a great day.

Guy smelled a familiar scent, that sort of memory inducing odor that made you have to turn and look, and he did.  He saw her back lit by the morning sun, her hair like dark honey and her dark eyes smiling, “Veronica?”  He asked, breath caught. 

Joe looked up from his magazine, because of his brother's tone of voice.  An inflection that he had not heard since...  “Veronica?”  He looked up and saw her, and she was not alone. 

Three other gorgeous women with her all said, “yes?”

But she said, “Guy?  Joe!”  She skipped gracefully across the sidewalk on her impossibly high heels and embraced Joe and then Guy, both of whom she kissed on each cheek. 

Joe beamed, but Guy was suddenly all tongue tied, flush and didn’t seem to know what to do or say. 

“Girls!”  She called over her shoulder, using a term that she would have tasked any man who used it.  “These are two old friends of mine.  Guy and Joe Handsome!!” Then to Guy and Joe she said, “These are my co-workers, Veronica, Veronica and Veronica.”  She grinned.











 Cut to Commercial:  Brought to you by, the Rhinecliff Hotel.  http://www.therhinecliff.com/index.html  A fun place to eat, stay or especially to attend one of their many special events! 

The women all offered hands, “Bridger,” said the first.  “Gorsline,” said the second.  “Spillane,” said the third.

“Pleasure,” said Guy, finding his voice, he shook each hand in turn.

“Real pleasure, “ said Joe, kissing the backs of each lady’s hand.  “Would you ladies like a ride somewhere?”  He motioned to his and Guy's Pedicabs.

“Oh!”  Veronica said, “do you live here now?”

“Yes, well, for a little while anyway,”  Guy managed.  He glanced down at his chest to make certain that no one could see the beating of his heart, which he imagined to be loud enough to be heard by everyone around him.

“What are you doing here?” Joe asked, hoping the distract the Veronica's from Guy’s aberrant behavior.

“We are setting up the annual Alzheimer's Awareness Symposium.”  Veronica said.  “It is in Hawaii this year!”  And she smiled.

The sun rose in Guy's heart with that smile, and he fell over.

All the Veronicas helped him to his feet.  “Are you all right?”  They asked.


Our next Episode: Define: All right.
