They are implied not to have seen each other in a while; Jenny says, "I think I owe you a beer...", and the friend, in the face of Jenny's oblivious cheerfulness, refuses to speak about the problems they've been having in their own life. Just when they seem to have found the courage to open up, they find that Jenny's disappeaed again. | ||

They both announce they have something to say, but when Jenny speaks up first to tell her friend about how they are the only constant in her life and she doesn't know what she would do without them, the friend ends up not saying what was on their mind. | ||
Some time later Jenny comes to the Bar again but waits in vain. Realising what has happened, she runs out of the bar in tears. | |||

She is characterised as cheerful and open, with a somewhat poor grasp of the travails of an ordinary human life when set against her own whimsical adventures. Despite the story depicting four scenes years apart, Jenny interestingly never appears any older. | ||

=== Background === | |||
Upon releasing the story for Jenny's tenth anniversary, [[Steven Wintle]] appended a short commentary. It states that he actually created the story “a few years” earlier than 2011, though it is not clear if he had already made it public. | |||
{{quotebox|It’s been ten years since Jenny Everywhere was first made public. I check up on her every couple of months, and I’m always shocked and pleased to see new people discovering her and creating new worlds for her. Thanks to everyone who took a chance on her. The toast is on me. | |||
In celebration of her tenth birthday, I present the only Jenny Everywhere story I’ve ever completed, a 24-hour comic from a few years back. Check out the hot mess after the jump.|Steven Wintle}} | |||
Although it is never explicitly stated in the story, the implication is that [[Jenny Everywhere's friend (Cars)|Jenny Everywhere's friend]] died of cancer. The symbol on the cover of the story alludes to this. | |||
