 [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]] next ends up in a [[Universe (Name's Not Down)|more mundane universe]] in a [[Right-On By The Sea|very familiar-feeling seaside town]], just in time to hear the first cries of a fire having broken out. Trying to make her way through the crowd, she attempts to pass the fire extinguisher Cha Ni told her to bring onto the right person without being seen by people familiar with the [[Jenny Everywhere (Name's Not Down)|local Jenny]], so as not to “make things awkward” for her other self. She is less than successful at this, however, with [[Bradley|a tall one]] directly noticing her through the commotion and a bald man (who already seemed to find something odd about her) directly seeing her shift away as she leaves, to her abashment.
 ====Part 6====
-[[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]] joins a number of her other incarnations in [[Universe F (Paying It Forward)|another universe]] to spook a [[Sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] who apparently did a great, if unspecified, wrong to some other Jenny. The story's main Jenny plays her small part as, while walking down the street, the man finds that everyone around him — from the [[Jenny Everywhere 3 (Second Date)|biker]] to even the [[Jenny Everywhere 5 (Paying it Forward)|shih tzu dog]] — is a version of Jenny. The “helpful” Jenny and “shifh tzu” Jenny soon climb onto the “biker” Jenny's motorcycle and they give chase to their quarry all the way to [[Elysium Park]], where he comes across [[Jenny Everywhere#Confrontation in Elysium Park|the local Jenny Everywhere]], much to his surprise. Realising everyone in the park is also Jenny, he is appropriately cowed as the local Jenny chews him out. With their work done, the biker Jenny tells the “helpful” Jenny that there's going to be an afterparty and invites her along.

 ====Part 7====
-[[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]] indeed joins the afterparty. After listening to other Jennies' guesses as to what precisely the [[Sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] had done, she tries to get close to [[#Jerry at the afterparty|Jerry]], but finds many other Jennies vying for his attention, with the [[Jenny Everywhere 5 (Paying it Forward)|shih tzu]] eventually winning out (by virtue of being a cute dog). She has a quiet, ponderous moment wondering how other people would see this gathering of versions of herselves, before deciding that, actually, if they don't see this peaceful gathering of (outwardly) highly different people as a good thing, it's their loss.
