The Homecoming Saga






As you might know Jessi loves to dance. She really looks forward to all dances especially the school dances. This year she was invited to Homecoming over a month before by Alex. Two weeks later they broke up. It was sad and hard but they decided they would still go to Homecoming together. Then she was asked by Chase (Homecoming King). She was flattered but didn't want to hurt Alex's feelings so she told Chase no. Then one week later things got ugly and Jessi and Alex decided not to go to the dance. So Jessi had no date. We hoped for a week that someone who had procrastinated and didn't have a date yet would ask her. On thursday she broke down and asked a friend if he would go with her. Zak couldn't go because he had to be in Preston that day. On friday, as Jessi and Tyson were going to the Homecoming Game, Todd told Jessi he would pay her $50 if she came home with a date for the dance. He told Tyson he would pay him a $5 finders fee if he found her a date. No luck for either of them. So on saturday Todd took Jessi out for dinner, bought a bunch of chocolate (as you know chocolate cures everything) and settled down for a movie marathon. Part way through the first movie at 7:45 Zak called and said he was home from Preston and asked her if she still wanted to go to the dance. So Jessi got ready and he picked her up 15 minutes later. She had a ball! Todd was a little disgruntled because not only did he loose his date for the night but he spent $50 on dinner and missed the USU vs BYU hockey game with Chris, Tyson, Justin and Tanner. Oh well thats what dads are for right? So does he still owe her $50? Give us your vote.

Wow, that is a saga. I'm glad it all worked out for Jessi. She looks beautiful, as usual. And I'm sure she'll always remember that Todd was willing to do all that for her even if the evening was interrupted.

My vote? I'm thinking if Todd spent 50 dollars on dinner, that should cover it. Just my opinion though.

Hi Nikki! I'm so glad you found me online! :) What a tale...I'm glad everything worked out! And Todd is such a sweetie. :) Hmm, he did take her out to dinner, but she DID find a date! Maybe split the difference and pay her $25? ;)

I vote with Monica on this one - split it; or better yet, have her take him on a date! A real date, complete with her formally asking him and driving him herself. It might just be fun for both of them!!

Thanks for inviting me onto your blog! You've done such a good job on it - I always wish I could spend more time just visiting you as a friend (and not on assignment!!), so maybe this'll do while I wish!!

Sorry Jess. I don't think your dad owes you the money. Technically you asked Zak BEFORE your dad offered you the money... Plus he spent all that money on dinner.
