A short story evolves!

*** Epilogue: We had just come from a nice weekend at the beach with a good friend of mine and his family, and afterwards we headed to the nearest Outlet Mall. After scouring around the place, I see 2 of my friend's daughters already sitting by the designated waiting area.

Sort of bored, we decided to make a 'story' on the fly...and this is the outcome. It actually looks more like a movie/tv script than a conventional story, but good job to the two 'authors' for their creativity and for making this in such a short time. Maybe we can work on part 2 now? ;-) ***


Character sketches of the girls of 'One Time'. Yes, they are 'anime-based' sketches. Sorry for the rough sketches, am not that good in drawing. UPDATE: I had to redo the pic...turns out Jesse is a guy! Du'h!

One Time: Episode 1

It was a sunday afternoon in the mall. Tony, April, and Jesse were out and about and was expecting to meet a group of friends.

Tony: where on earth are they? they said to meet here at 2
April: Yeah!!! And they are 30 minutes late! Were gonna be late.
Jesse: Ok! Gal. Don't worry
Tony: Easy for you to say! I'm getting something to eat.

Tony stands up and heads to the vending machine, leaving Jesse and April*.

April: Oh ok. Hey Jesse are you a McCartney? If you are, Yo! What's up JMac!?! *sees Justin* oh look here comes Justin! Wait... Am I the only girl here?
Jesse: No! JMac's my cousin. G5, G5

Tony gets his drink and even before he can open it, someone taps his shoulder

Tony: Whoa!! What the?
Girl: Oh sorry! Don't u remember me?

*Tony looks at the brunette girl and wonders who she is...*

Brunette Girl: wow you really don't remember? I'm your cousin... You met me a few years ago!

April: Jesse! Look across the street? Isn't that girl your cousin Ashley?
Jesse: Yeah...but I thought she was in Germany. What brings her here? She's a troublemaker....
