there was an awkward silence.

"ummm....this was unexpected," the darter mutter, blushing furiously.

juliet nodded, looking as if she'd rather be anywhere else on earth or on transexual. "yes, it certainly is."

the darter reached for her hand, flinching when she shuddered. "oh, sorry."

"no, i'm sorry. it's just...it's a little chilly here."

the darter pulled off his long leather coat and draped it around her shoulders. "here, maybe this will help."

juliet gave him a weak smile. "thank you, dat. you're a true gentleman."

they strolled companionably through a park, stopping to admire a statue of dr. frank n. furter.

"he's quite flamboyant, isn't he?"

"he was an inspiration to me, that's for sure," juliet agreed.

they circled their way back to the house as the suns were going down.

"so, ummm, what do we do now?" the darter asked.

juliet thought quickly. "oh, i know!" she faced him, putting her hands up shoulder-height with the palms facing the darter.

"now, put your palms against mine, dat."

the darter did as she instructed.

"okay, we're going to move our hands back away from each other, but letting our arms remain in contact until our elbows meet, hold, then reverse until our palms meet again."

the darter realized they would be imitating the local mating ritual on transexual. "brilliant idea, juliet!"

"on three," juliet told him. "one...two...DAT!"

he jumped the gun at two, throwing them off-balance and almost causing them to fall.

"i'm sorry, i'm just nervous," the darter apologized. "this is my first time."

juliet rolled her eyes and put her hands up. "let's try again, shall we? one...two...three!"

they moved their hands away from each other, bringing their elbows up.

"good, now back down again."

they brought their hands back together, exhaled, then dropped them down to their sides.

"so...was it good for you?"

"oh, lover. you were amazing," juliet replied, not bothering to disguise her sarcasm. "come on, let's get back to the pub. i need a drink. or two. or five."

Dear Reader,

You have reached the end of your adventure. I hope you enjoyed it! If not, well, you only have yourself to blame because, you know, you chose it yourself. Also, since you--not I--chose this adventure, it did not really take place in the Burkieverse and, therefore, will not have any continuity with the regular Poor Yorick's Pub chapters. Thanks for playing and, if you're in the mood to try another adventure, go back to the beginning and choose a different path!
