Prudence was a woman with diverse skills and an open mind. That’s why she could never seem to get what she wanted. Her best friend was Curiosity, and together, at a bar that was curiosity’s favorite, they met Adventure. Adventure took them around town, and introduced them to many more friends. No friend of adventures was quite as interesting as her, though. Adventure was always fun, but sometimes really hard to track down. On the occasions that Adventure called, she was very demanding. Prudence continued searching for friends. Curiosity kept trying to develop closer ties with Adventure.
All Prudence knew is that she wasn’t satisfied. Then she met Comfort. Comfort was very warm, happy, and forgiving. Prudence and Comfort spent all their time together. Curiosity couldn’t stand her, and kept calling Adventure, but Adventure would ask what Curiosity had in mind to do. Curiosity would tell her, but Adventure didn’t think she’d enjoy it very much. Then Curiosity was struck with an idea. Maybe Adventure would find it interesting to meet Comfort.
Prudence, Curiosity, Comfort and Adventure all met for a night out. It started off well enough at the restaurant, but after a few drinks Adventure was clearly making jokes at Comfort’s expense. Curiosity was first trying to hold her laughter, then openly laughing, then teasing Comfort as well. Comfort wasn’t too upset, probably having dealt with these types of people before, but Prudence was.
At the end of a very surreal evening, Adventure came up with the idea to run out on the check. Prudence loudly objected, and Comfort didn’t speak. Curiosity was upset with Comfort’s influence on Prudence, and called her a coward. Prudence announced that she didn’t think they’d really do it. Adventure told them that she and Curiosity certainly will, so they might as well, too. When the Hostess, Oblivion, walked away from her podium, Adventure and Curiosity left quickly and abandoned Prudence and Comfort with the check. Prudence and Curiosity never spoke again. They had new friends now.
