On one occasion, Jenny read through a web story which starred [[#Visiting the Heroines Guild|another one of her selves]]. Kim walked by just as she was finishing it, and they exchanged a few words about it. Kim was amused, upon her summary of the tale (where Jenny ended up riding off with a partially-undressed girl tied to her saddle), to hear that it was “one of those stories”, needling Jenny about her pronounced longing to have a little of that kind of fun of late, and the two shared some surreal banter on the subject of whether some pretty boys would be allowed as pets by the terms of their apartment lease — referencing a recent update to those terms from the apartment company's lawyers, pursuant to an incident involving a [[spherical cow]] for which Jenny still insisted she wasn't to blame.

==== Watching the sky ==== | |||
At past one in the morning on the night between [[Christmas Eve]] and [[Christmas Day]], a sleeping [[Professor Awesome#Kim and Jenny's neighbour|Professor Awesome]] was woken up by Jenny, who talked him into joining her on the roof. Quickly getting dressed in his day clothes — complete with labcoat and “essential gadgetry” including “both [[robo-spider]]s and the [[stochastic photon homogenizer]]” — he followed her to the said roof, where she explained that she wanted to watch “the flyover”. The Professor slowly realised that she meant “[[Santa Claus#In Kim and Professor Awesome's world|the bringer of presents… the lurker at chimneys… the eater of a billion cookies]]”; Jenny, appearing to treat him as incontrovertibly real, advised Eric not to say the name out loud, though she told him that she had borrowed an “[[Amulet of Unheeding]]” from [[Steven Lucas|Steve]] and [[Thoth (Morning After)|Thoth]] just in case. | |||
Before they could see anything, however, Jenny was hit in the face by a large snowball coming from nowhere in particular, and they were then knocked down by a sudden gust of wind. When they got up again, there were contrails suddenly criss-crossing the sky, as though hundreds of aircrafts — ''or just one, moving extremely fast'' — had passed over the city in the blink of an eye. Melodramatically angry, Jenny started waving a fist in the air and shouting up at the sky: “You just wait! I know [[#Jenny Cornelius|who’s]] driving the fat man this year!” — but she got no reply, and Eric calmed her down by calling her attention to the two large, scarlet-wraped presents with their name on them that were suddenly lying on a parapet. | |||
Subsequently, Jenny headed to [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|another universe]] where it was currently [[Epiphany]] in the 60s, and found Jenny Cornelius out on a date with [[Laura Drake#Working for the Intelligence Taskforce|her Laura Drake]], whom the “Kim's friend” Jenny had yet to meet. With no further preamble, the visiting Jenny dropped a fistful of snow down her other self's back, giggling that “turnabout [was] fair play”. After a moment's confused flailing, Jenny Cornelius admitted as much and pulled the other Jenny into a big hug. Laura was rather confused about all this, asking if the “other Jenny” was some kind of a relative, but her good manners prevailed upon her common sense and she asked the other Jenny if she wants to join their day out on the town.
