One day, as Jenny and her friends were going to a come as you aren't hootenanny, they met some people who really needed industrial-strength therapy because they were trying to fit themselves in a dryer. When they got to the hootenanny, they were served soylent green and listened to the music of pain, which gave them a good squirm. They didn't complain, though, because they lived in a one-starbuck town, so there wern't that many great hootenannys. Finally, after the hootenanny host started to do the wacky, they decided to go someplace that's away. As they were leaving, Jenny's spider sense started to tingle, so they knew they had to hurry. As they were walking home, they noticed the crazy dryer people all inside dryers and the dryers were on! Jenny and her friends quickly helped them out. When she asked why they were in there, they entered Denial Land. Before Jenny left, she gave them some backseat mothering about not doing that again. Judging by their tragedy masks she could tell they probably wouldn't. When Jenny got home, she thought that it had been a successful Scare-a-palooza.
