The satellite burst into flames and started to free fall, then exploded in a shower of golden fireworks.

"I never thought I'd say this," she looked at Joey pointedly. "But, I think you're right."

Honey... honey! Will you let him get away with that?

Jenny paled. The voice was right.

"Honey?" she hissed, wrenching her arm from Joey's grasp. "I trust you remember what happened last time you performed one of your pranks with honey."

Joey folded his arms and smirked.

"It wasn't really a prank--"

"Bees, Joey," Jenny interrupted. "BEES!"

"I know," he shrugged. "I slathered myself in it, remember? For fun."

"I was the one stung by the bees!"

Joey shrugged again.

"I was King of the Bees. They gave me more of their glorious honey and I ate it on oatmeal. It was delicious!"

"I wouldn't know, Joey. I was in hospital. Because I'm allergic. DEATHLY ALLERGIC!"

Jenny whipped around and prepared to stalk off in a huff, but the vegans were still staring at the scene.

"That's right!" she shouted, brandishing her pointer finger at the ginger maniac. "He eats animal products. Fuck, he probably ate the bloody bees!"

The group of vegans blinked simultaneously then, in perfect unison, they stepped forward.

"Bees and beef. Bees and beef. Bees and beef," they droned, approaching steadily.

"Quick Jen-Jen," Joey pushed her then sprinted past. "Run -- they might be vegans but they have cannibals for friends. I know from experience!"

Don't follow him, the voice sneered. He'll toboggan you down a cliff again.

"You are a very wise and wondrous voice," Jenny whispered. "But I think I know what to do."
