Well, I’m back home and back to work. If you’ve followed the tragic and upsetting tale of Meghan and Brooke’s hookup during the trip, you may wonder what’s happened during the last day before we all returned home. I’ll summarize it here (and keep it short because I’m in no mood to dwell on this topic).
First, Brooke tried to come explain himself to me. I flung more insults at him than I knew I had in me. Deep down, I said, I shouldn’t be surprised. He never could keep it in his pants, and clearly he valued his sex life more than he did our friendship. Well, I concluded, he wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore.
Then, Zuri came to see me, somewhere around lunch time, and brought me some fruits and juice. I realized I hadn’t eaten anything since the day before. It looks like Zuri had noticed before I did. She suggested I get out of the room and get some sunshine while it lasted. I would be back to work in no time, and I should enjoy my time off while I had it. There was no point in letting these two idiots ruin MY vacations, right? So I let her lead me poolside and spent the afternoon trying to read a book.
I also spent most of the afternoon peering OVER the book to see if I’d catch sight of Meg. I was half-hoping she’d some to try and apologize, and I could send her packing, towering from my very, very high horse. But she never showed up, never tried to apologize for letting Brooke have his way with her.
So I left the resort yesterday morning. Neither traitor was on the plane. It looks like they decided to extend their vacation together, or at least couldn’t face me on the flight back. So it was just Zuri and I, and I was not in a very talkative mood. She tried to cheer me up a bit, but for the most part, I just tuned her out. I have my own stuff to figure out.
Anyway, I’m back home now. I’ve put all of Meghan’s things in a garbage bag and put it away in a closet. If she doesn’t come to pick it up in the next week, I’m trashing it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go spend some time thinking of ways to torture both her and Brooke for what they’ve done.

*shakes head* Man, your life sure is a soap opera Jaycee. The sad thing is something like this really shouldn’t surprise you. Remember how you and Meghan hooked up in the first place, and all the wild hijinks you two got up to in your time together? Remember who and what was behind a large percentage of it? Yeah. If I were you I’d have been looking for signs of fairy dust or other manipulations as soon as things started getting weird. Not that it would have done much good mind, but at least you’d have been less surprised by what happened. I figure odds are high that either Attitude had something to do with the eventfulness of your vacations or some other fairy has been poaching on her turf while you were out of town. Might wanna pay careful attention to her mood, and her bust size, next time you see her. Could provide some clues.

Mmmyyeeeah… It DOES feel like my life is some kind of soap, as if someone was deliberately scripting things to make it entertaining for some kind of audience. Kind of feels like I’m someone’s puppet and I can’t see the strings or something.
And yeah, I have considered that it might be Attitude behind it all, but we were in a bloody other country, lost in the middle of a tiny village in a remote location stuck a few clicks away from the world’s true nowhere. What are the odds that I’d get picked on by a NEW faerie during that vacation. Plus, Meg didn’t make much of an effort to explain herself or her actions. Not even the “I couldn’t help myself” that typically comes with faerie curses. No, this was all her, and all Brooke.
I think I just have the worst of luck with chicks. The prettier they are, the faster I fall for them, and the worse it all turns out.
Anyway, I DID run into Attitude since I returned, and she didn’t have much to say about it all. I would have expected some gloating, some mocking, or some berating (like I *deserve* this kind of treatment). Instead, she had this expression I couldn’t decipher and vanished without a word, like she didn’t really care about my problems.
So no, I don’t think she was in on this. But maybe the “other” faerie story holds some water… I’ll keep an eye out…

Ah. Your last sentence/paragraph tells us why you choose to see fairies. I was wondering about that. Now, it is all clear.

“Jaycee, you’re so cute when you’re naive — which is most of the time, I think. You have NOTHING to worry about.” -Zuri (Tales from Jaycee’s Vacations (III)
I only thought of this now… but I think she knew about Brooke and Meghan, if she really was trying to seduce you, it was probably some mixture of wanting revenge on Brooke and trying to keep you from getting hurt too badly when you finally found out.
Jaycee
Damn, Anthony, I think you may be right! I hadn’t given it any thought, but now that you point it out, perhaps you’re right, and she knew about this all along! Man, if that’s the case, that stings! I find it a little hard that she’d be vengeful against Brooke, she’s not that kind of person.
But then again, I thought Meghan was faithful to me. Maybe I’m not THAT good a judge of character, right?

It’s oddly similar to the Friends episode where Joey and Monica try to break up a couple in order to date them. Perhaps?
