No Café This Time was a standalone Jenny Everywhere story created by an unknown author in 2003 for the Monthly Montreal Comix Jam. It is unclear whether the full story is only a single page, whether that page was all that was completed of a planned longer story, or whether the page is simply the only one that has been discovered. Additionally, it would seem likely, based on the slightly incorrect usage of the language, that the author was not fully fluent in English - a more "correct" title for the story (which was taken from the final line) might, therefore, be "No Coffee This Time".

Depending on the nature of the publication in which the story was originally published, it may have a claim of being the first Jenny story to have been released in a print medium.

Plot

Drinking coffee with a friend, Jenny receives a transmission from an unknown individual informing her that the universe needs her help immediately. Jenny, morose, declares that she simply doesn't feel like it anymore. Her friend asks if "he" has contacted her again, and Jenny denies that he has, suggesting, instead, that they should have another drink - but not coffee this time.

Worldbuilding

Jenny

• This story features an incarnation of Jenny with short, dark hair, who wears the traditional goggles and scarf alongside a pair of small, black earrings.
• This story's incarnation of Jenny appears to be in contact with an unseen man who seems to relay assignments to her (or, perhaps, to simply contact her when the universe is in need of saving).

Universes

• This story takes place in a nondescript house or establishment of some sort in one universe, which is, apparently, in urgent need of saving.
