Thank you everyone for the feedback.
Honkytonkangel, I am glad that you still love the date night. It's almost over now though...
I know what you mean about wanting JR/SE to get a happily ever after despite it being unrealistic.
Ms Southworth, I have not changed my settings.:lolo:
I have just spent more time online than usual today and my activity might not have been that easy to trace as I've tried to repair the "swoon" threads by editing old posts to take away the annoying photobucket error messages and replace them with screencaps. But it's not as noticable and I wouldn't be able to do that if I wasn't a moderator. So it's silently edited. But if you check out those threads and read edited today, I'm the one who's been editing.
"
... ... once they get more integrated with the Ewing family"???
Sorry, but I'm not following your logic! How can Jenna become more integrated than she is right now by been married to Ray?
However, once their divorce papers have been prepped and signed, that's it for Jenna as far as I'm concerned! Unless, of course, she decides to go after yet another Ewing brother and they decide to live in Texas (as opposed to the Golden State)!
I'm gonna take a wild guess that you haven't really kept up with Knots Landing. Since if you had you would know that Val and Gary are soulmates so there's no breaking them up. They are happily married and should stay that way. That was yet another thing I was annoyed with Dallas TNT. They had no business separating Gary/Val after they got their happy ending on Knots Landing!
But yeah I can say that Gary and Jenna are definitely not gonna happen!
I think it's more than enough that she's been with two brothers. There's no need to complicate things even more.
You don't need to follow my logic right now. It will all make sense to you later on.
But yeah I think what you are trying to say makes sense. Although Jenna was a main character on the show she only became a regular like in season 7 so therefore you prefer the classic characters that were there from the mini-series more. I get that.
Okay so
update time:
JR’s car pulled up in the driveway of Southfork and JR, Sue Ellen, Bobby and Pam got out and started walking towards the house. Pam said, “I didn’t think I’d say this but this has been a lovely evening.”
“It sure has, we must definitely do it again sometime,” Sue Ellen said.
“Definitely even though you stepped all over my feet when we danced,” JR smiled teasingly.
“Me?” Sue Ellen acted surprised. “Oh-uh, it was you who stepped all over my feet!”
“What are you telling me that I’m a bad dancer?” JR asked teasingly.
“The worst,” Sue Ellen laughed teasingly.
“Oh yeah that’s not what you said when we were on the dance floor,” JR said.
“I don’t recall us talking that much on that dance floor.”
“Not with words but your eyes said all I needed to know.”
Sue Ellen raised an eyebrow, “Oh and what’s that?”
“That you had a good time,” JR replied, “Just as I did.”
“Well that’s true,” Sue Ellen acknowledged, before she hurried to change the subject. “So Pam, did Bobby step all over your toes too?”
“No he’s a great dancer,” Pam smiled at Bobby who smiled back at her.
“So how about if a great dancer takes you upstairs so that we can finish our celebrations alone?” Bobby asked flirtatiously.
“I say what are you waiting for let’s go…” Pam kissed Bobby.
JR and Sue Ellen laughed somewhat uncomfortably, as they watched Bobby and Pam walk before them towards the house with their arms wrapped around each other.
“Seems like Bobby and Pam are going to bed,” JR stated the obvious.
“Yeah so I guess that ends our evening,” Sue Ellen said.
“Well not necessarily we could take a walk in the moonlight…”
“JR don’t push your luck,” Sue Ellen said warningly and Bobby and Pam who had overheard them started to laugh.
“What’s so funny?” JR asked.
Bobby and Pam then turned towards them and Bobby said, “You and Sue Ellen bickering.”
“Yeah it’s just like old times,” Pam smiled.
“Anyway if you don’t mind Pam and I are going to bed now, but thanks again for a lovely evening,” Bobby said, as they entered the house.
“Yeah we definitely must do it again sometime,” Pam smiled.
“I agree,” JR smiled. “Who could have guessed that spending time with you might actually be pleasant…”
“Likewise JR, you can be really nice when…” Pam stopped midsentence as they found Christopher in the kitchen making a sandwich and some hot chocolate. “Christopher! What are you doing up this late?”
Christopher smiled sheepishly as he realized that he had been caught, “Oh I just wanted to tell you that Uncle Cliff called and that he wanted you to phone him back.”
“Okay but that still doesn’t explain what you’re doing up,” Pam crossed her arms.
“Oh I just felt like having a cup of chocolate,” Christopher said. “Besides you never told me what you decided about my grounding.”
“Oh that, well consider yourself not grounded anymore pal, because I assume you’ve behaved like I taught you while we were away, right son?” Bobby asked.
“Yeah I sure did dad,” Christopher said.
“Strange I never knew that it was you Bobby who taught him to hit golf balls in the foot of old bold men,” Sue Ellen said teasingly.
“Sue Ellen you are so funny,” Pam said and she and Bobby laughed at what they thought was a joke.
“Actually I did it by accident. I didn’t mean to honest,” Christopher said and Pam and Bobby’s smiles faded away.
“Christopher!” Bobby exclaimed.
“So that’s what you did to get your grandma thrown off the golf court?” Pam sighed.
“Yeah but it wasn’t just my fault. I mean Joss Ross was even worse because he hit an old woman in her butt with his golf ball,” Christopher said in an attempt to sound better than John Ross.
Bobby crossed his arms, “He hit who?”
“It was the bold man’s wife,” Christopher said. “Oops I suppose I’m still grounded now, huh?”
Bobby and Pam exchanged a look and Bobby said, “Are you sure you didn’t do it on purpose?”
“Yeah honest it was a mistake,” Christopher said.
“And you won’t do it again right?” Pam asked.
“Right mom, I promise to never hit anyone with a golf ball ever again,” Christopher said.
“Good if that’s so you’re not grounded anymore…”
“Finally,” Christopher cheered.
“Not so fast, it’s only if it’s ok with your mom?” Bobby looked at Pam.
“Mom please?” Christopher asked.
“It’s ok, your grounding ends today,” Pam said.
“Thanks mom, thanks dad, you’re the best,” Christopher smiled and hugged his parents.
“No you’re the best,” Bobby smiled, “Now up to bed with you.”
“Okay so will you tuck me in?” Christopher asked.
Bobby and Pam exchanged a look as it became obvious that they would have to postpone their celebrations some. Bobby said surprised, “I thought you were getting too old for that…”
“I’m only 13,” Christopher pouted. “And I’ve missed a lot of years with mom.”
“Of course we’ll tuck you in Christopher,” Pam smiled, happy that her son was now accepting that she was back in his life again.
“Thanks mom and don’t forget to call Uncle Cliff tomorrow, he has been trying to reach you all day.”
“Really?” Pam asked.
“Yeah he’s really anxious to get hold of you. He came by here last weekend too, looking for you,” Christopher said.
“So why didn’t you tell us about this earlier this week?” Bobby asked.
“Because Rebecca talked so much that I never got a chance to,” Christopher said.
Bobby, Pam, JR and Sue Ellen all laughed at that. “I know she told me not to drink so much,” Pam said.
“Well I’m glad she listened,” Sue Ellen said.
“Yeah that little girl of yours sure is a blabbermouth,” JR said.
“Yep, I understand you’ve spent quite a lot of time with her when we were away,” Bobby said.
“Yeah what was
that all about?” Pam asked.
“Oh you’re so suspicious, you always think I must have a hidden motif,” JR said.
“Well don’t you always?” Sue Ellen asked.
“Nah, not this time,” JR lied. “I just wanted to get to know my niece.”
“That’s funny, I almost believe you mean that,” Pam said.
“I do, and I tell you she’s a Ewing alright and already spoiled rotten,” JR grinned.
“Yeah she sure is spoiled,” Chris agreed.
“Just like her daddy,” JR threw Bobby a meaningful glance.
Bobby smiled before he changed the subject, “You know something funny happened earlier today.”
“Oh what’s that?” JR asked.
“Rebecca asked us where babies come from. I understand someone saw it fit to explain to her what sex is when we were away,” Bobby said and threw JR and Sue Ellen a meaningful glance.
Sue Ellen blushed, “Oh weren’t you going upstairs?”
“Of course we are. But at first we’d like to know why you two are interfering with the way we are raising our kids?” Pam asked.
“Because you weren’t home and somebody has to do it,” JR said. “Goodnight.”
Bobby and Pam looked puzzled at first but then they put their arms around Christopher and said, “Well goodnight.” Then they walked out of the kitchen with Chris walking in between his parents.
I especially liked this part of the conversation:
As I was reading through the scene, I couldn't help but think ... ... please let's move on to a scene which includes the main characters of "Dallas"!
I absolutely loved it! 
This scene definitely deserves 10 out of 10 points!!! 
I also enjoyed the reference to the window breaking situations a long time ago. 
... ... I also loved the way Bobby got his cap pistol back! :lolo: But I don't understand why Bobby hadn't figured out a long time ago that it was Cliff and Pam who broke the windows! 
:fantastic:
I didn't watch Knots Landing! 
In either way, it still wouldn't make her a main character IMO! :wink@
Okay, I think I got my point across! :wink@ Let's move on to something much more cheerful! 
Also loved JR referring to his niece as a blabbermouth! 
And JR's line was right on the money and very much written in character: “Because you weren’t home and somebody has to do it”!
