Janet: What?
Cindy: Yeah. And he asked me to marry him!
Janet: What?
Cindy: I said yes!
Janet: Wait a minute Cindy. Isn't this the same guy who asked you to marry a few months ago and refused to?
Cindy: Oh yes, but he's a change man! He doesn't act like he used to. He doesn't try buying people off like that.

What'll she just drop out?

Moonlight Lady · 08-17-2005, 09:13 AM

Chain Gang Member · 08-17-2005, 10:14 AM

I don't know what it is....I'm kinda notorious for the Cindy spin-offs. I don't know why...She's not even close to my favorite on the show, there's just so much more you can do with her.

Chain Gang Member · 09-15-2005, 04:10 PM

If you want,you an use my character in your FF

FOLrocks1 · 01-08-2006, 10:16 PM
