My Fairlady
Who: Bobby Drake, Jubilation Lee, and Ororo Monroe
NPCs: The people in Ororo's neighborhood. The people that she meets each day.
Where: Blüdhaven, NJ
When: September 3, 2012. In other words, Labor Day.
What: Bobby brings Jubilee with him on a car trip to the Haven of Blüd and Umlauts to visit Ororo. Assuming he isn't driven into a murderous frenzy before he gets there.
Rating: PG
It was supposed to be a five-hour drive from Westchester to Blüdhaven. Four hours to Manhattan, then another hour to Ororo's place. So he made sure they were both up early Monday morning so they could be ready and on the road.
That was his first mistake.
His next mistake was not taking traffic into account. The closer he got to Manhattan, the more obscene the traffic delays and road construction became.
And his third -- and most egregious -- error was his decision to bring his own car. On the surface, it was perfectly logical: he didn't have to borrow anyone else's vehicle, and he didn't have to subject himself to Jubilee's driving. Problem was, his car was a silver Nissan 350Z. Which meant it was rather small. So there was no way to escape his passenger.
