This thread is dedicated to all those in need of a good old fashioned love story...
To those who may not have known such love ever existed. It stills survives deep in the hearts of all those who are willing to believe and wait...
Of course we also dedicate this book to the men who are long past dead; men who wore everyday clothes, but underneith...a wardrobe fit for prince charming. May the jaws of modern-day life never forget the existence of men who set the standard high for every other man in the world; instilling a desire in every young girls heart to find the untainted, uncorrupted and true definition of a gentleman. May none of us ever forget the real meaning of true love...or ever settle for less.
The story is about two girls who live their life in 2007; unhappy, unwed and living in the past of 1930. Their only loves exist now in the memory of history, far from the grasp of reality, they long to be held in the arms of the only men who can make their hearts complete.
For Theresa it's Melody Jones.
For Kim it's Longfellow Deeds.
This is their story...

*Kim runs into Theresa's room and shrieks*
Kim: It's finished! Get up! GET UP!!
*Theresa groans, turning her back to Kim and continues dreaming. Kim pulls Theresa by the arm and yanks her out of bed*
Theresa: What's wrong with you?! I'm dreaming about being MRS. Melody! Now go away!
*She lays back down and pulls the covers over her head. Kim stands her up and points*
Kim: I got it to work!
*Groggy, Theresa grumbles*
Theresa: Got what to work?
Kim: The time machine!!!
Theresa: You've said that a hundred times! But everytime we race to go test it out you say, "Oh, wait...maybe a couple more tweaks THEN we'll have it." I'm tired, Kim, let me sleep!
Kim: But I finally fixed it this time! I promise, it works!
*Theresa hesitates then gives in*
Theresa: All right...but if it doesn't work this time...I will NEVER forgive you for calling off MY wedding!
*Excitedly, Kim pulls Theresa by the arm and leads her to the time machine*
Theresa: All right, what now?
Kim: Open it and press the date you want!
*Theresa punches in the date May 1st, 1934 and closes the door. Kim quickly jumps in and they wait as the machine starts making strange noises. Theresa gives Kim a worried look but Kim assures her that it's nothing to worry about. The machine comes to a halt and they look to each other...*
Kim: Well...you wanna do the honors?
*Theresa hesitates and crosses her fingers*
Theresa: Here goes nothing...
*Theresa opens the door and they both gasp*

Take it away, pally ...But put it back before the boss gets here; he's not too kind when it comes to poster-theives. ...It's 2am...don't stress yourself on that one; I don't even understand what I just said...

Theresa hesitates to open it fully, because she'sa afraid.
Kim: well......what are you waiting for? OPEN IT!!
Theresa: alright....alright
theresa is still moving slowly, so Kim pushes past her to see what's there.
they both look around in shock!!!
Kim: Theresa...do you see what i see?
Theresa: yeah!* she smiles then it goes away* what do you see ?
Kim: our house isn't our house anymore. its...its.....its...a drug store.
Theresa: WOW!! i've always wanted to come to one of these and just hang out eating one of those malts in a tall glass w/ the curvy top. i love those.
Kim looks at Theresa with sort of a smirk.
Theresa: what?
Kim: *turns her head to look around* LOOK an authentic jukebox!

Perfect! There aren't any rules; the story kinda takes hold of itself and leads in all sorts of directions, so don't worry about going "off path" because there aren't any paths, really. But I loved your post, pally, I'll update right away

*Theresa and Kim walk in further and take a seat. The soda jerk walks up to them and smiles politely*
Jerk: Anything I can do for you lovely ladies?
*Kim and Theresa look to each other, amazed that a man actually has manners. Kim looks back to him and smiles*
Kim: I'll have a chocolate malt...
*Captivated by the shop, Theresa looks around and gawks, nearly falling off her seat. Kim clears her throat obnoxiously and looks to the man embarrassed*
Kim: ...My friend will take the same...
*The man smiles and walks away to fix their drinks. Kim nudges Theresa, but Theresa continues to gaze at the collectibles. Kim sighs and just begins the write on a napkin fervently*
Theresa: What are ya' writin'?
Kim: Our plan...
Theresa: Our plan? What plan?
Kim: Well, the things we're gonna do while in 1934...
*The man looks over his shoulder and gives them a strange look. Kim smiles sheepishly and crouches down*
Theresa: Ooooo, a plan; Right, well, what about meeting Melody?! Oh Kim, can I meet him??
*Kim laughs and nods. The man hands them both their malts*
Kim: Sure! Then I can find Deeds!
*The girls giggle and take a sip of their malts*

kim: zip the lip....do you want people to freak if they find out?

theresa:ooouch!

theresa: well......i dont think we're in kansas anymore dorothy.....are we still in california...do ya think?

*Kim and Theresa look to each other* Kim: Seems like we aren't in Kansas but...California! This should be a pip! Theresa: Yeah! Oh and we could go to the store and buy some lovely dresses! Kim: Oh, I can't wait! *The girls wiggle in their seats then shout* Both: Let's go NOW! *They both dart out the door, but Kim stops immediately and throws the man a $10. The man looks at the money and gasps, almost passing out. They run down the street to the nearest shop in search for dresses* Kim: Oh! I found a lovely one! Theresa: Yeah? So did I! Kim: Okay, go try yours on and I'll try mine...then we'll come out on the count of three and surprise each other Theresa: Kim.... Kim: Yeah? Theresa: You're a very strange person....but okay! *The girls giggle and leap into the fitting area to try their dresses on. Moments later Kim begins to count* Kim: 1... Theresa: 2... Kim: 3! *They both walk out and look at each others' dresses* Theresa: Wow! Your dress is gorgeous!! Kim: Thanks! *Kim looks to Theresa and gasps* Kim: So is yours! *Theresa spins around giggles* Theresa: Thanks! ***I'll leave it up to you to post the image of your dress *** (This is where I go to get some of my ideas) www.poshgirlvintage.com/

(Oh I love that dress!)
Kim: We sure must!
Theresa: Come on, let's get going...
*Theresa goes to run out of the shop but Kim grabs her arm*
Kim: Wait...
Theresa: What?
Kim: Where do we find them? We can't just bust into their homes and say, "Hey! I'm your future wife...let's go!" We have to have a plan, first.
Theresa: Oh, you and your plans...We'll think of something along the way...now let's GO!
*The girls giggle and hail for a taxi, they come to a hair dresser and walk in*
Woman: What can I do for you ladies?
Theresa: We'd like a hair cut...
*The woman laughs*
Woman: Of course, miss, but is there any style you're thinking of?
*Theresa pauses and looks to Kim, shrugging*

as the woman started to chop theresa's hair first, she started to fall asleep.
kim: wakey, wakey silly.
theresa:oh sorry...when people play w/ my hair it feels so good and i get relaxed and start to fall asleep. so how are we going to meet our dream guys?

*After Theresa gets her hair finished, she steps down from the chair and leans into the mirror, poofing the ends* Kim: Oh honey, that's beautiful! Theresa: Yeah? Kim: Yes! Melody will just DIE! Theresa: No! He can't! *Kim chuckles and sits in the chair* Kim: It was just a saying... *Theresa nods and wipes her brow* Theresa: Good thing... *After a while of haircutting, the woman spins Kim around to face the mirror. Kim gasps and giggles, looking to Theresa* Theresa: Oh, it's lovely! Kim: Yay! Now let's go find our fellas! *Kim leaps up and bounds out the door. Theresa looks to the woman, who's giving her a very strange look, and smiles sheepishly* Theresa: ...She's off her meds today... *Theresa bounds out the door, following Kim; the two leap into a taxi and look over the plan* Theresa: So how do you know where he even lives? Kim: ...I installed a celebrity tracker. *Theresa pauses* Theresa: I always knew you were a stalker... Kim: Oh please! I am not. Theresa: Right...because everyone always installs a celebrity tracker and builds a time machine for their unhealthy obse-- Kim: You better watch it! You've got that obsession, too! *Theresa chuckles, embarrassed, and smiles* Theresa: Point taken...So, um...about our boys! Kim: Right! Well, looks like...hmmm... *Kim looks at the information written on the paper and points* Kim: Looks like Melody's at 124 Western Ave N. Theresa: Ooo, sounds clos-- Kim: It's in Kentucky. Theresa: Oooo...bummer.
