Joel heading in to the basement...

You catch a brief glimpse of Joel carrying a few mixed drink and heading down in to the basement. You know that Joel is fun guy, and where he is you can usually find Robin and Merideth, so you decide to follow him downstairs.

In the basement is a scene that immediately makes you laugh, as much out of shock as actual comic value. Apparently, it seemed like a good idea to set up a jello wrestling pit in the basement. The pit itself is about 10 feet by 10 feet, and surrounded by rowdy onlookers. There must be some kind of soft material under the pit, because it doesn’t look like anyone is being shy about jumping around and throwing people to the ground. The crowd seems to be comprised of as many girls as boys though, which makes the feel of the room one of cheerful competition rather than sleeziness. You walk up behind a guy you don’t recognize and ask him what’s going on?

“Well, it’s jello wrestling, duh, but someone set up some elaborate rules that make it more interesting. Everyone stands in line, and the person at the front of the line guesses who is going to win. If they’re right, they get to wrestle the loser, if they’re wrong, they have to wrestle the winner. To win, you have to pin the other person until the ref counts to three. Some girl that everyone just calls “Mouse” is acting as the ref.”

You push aside a few people to get a look at the ring. At the moment, two girls you don’t recognize are in the pit and as the guys said, Mouse, or Ella, was standing on the side in just her panties. Ella was wearing black underwear that look soaked, and her entire body was covered in the red jello. Her tiny frame and mostly flat chest glistened with it and her hair was completely slicked back.

Before you knew it you found yourself in the line that wrapped around the pit. You watched as dozens of people wrestled. Mostly the winners would last a few fights before getting tired and losing. One guys you recognized, Manny, who was sort of a portly Hispanic dude, easily knocked off his first opponent and managed to stay in the pit through five fights.

By the time you got to the front of the line, the two people in the pit were Joel, who was just ahead of you in line, and surprisingly Wren, who had managed to win one fight already. Wren was in the pit in a nice-ish bra and underwear. Joel stripped down to his boxers and stepped in to the ring. Wren’s short, hourglass figure looks vaguely ridiculous crouched in attack position, but at least she’s in to it.

Mouse steps over to you and asks you who you’re betting on.
