Virgin Ninja (12)

   
   "Virgin Ninja (12)"

   Joanna Blanc was in the Confessional Booth, getting the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which seemed necessary due to her dove-like loins loving the idea of Bobby McQuade's renegade spirit gelling with her own.

JOANNA
Bless me Father for I have sinned.  You don't have your cell phone turned on, do you?

FATHER
Joanna--I know it's you and your daring humor.  Still doing good, except for the cracking skulls part and all?

JOANNA
I haven't cracked any skulls lately Father.  Not since my last Confession.  This has to do with a guy.  A nice guy.  A poor guy.  A gentleman.  Very cool eyes.  Very humble.  Part of the family, as Jesus Himself might say.

FATHER
Are you having romantic feelings for him, after all your years of celibacy?

JOANNA
Not images.  Just a yearning to embrace him.  But not in brotherly fashion, but as a partner.  

FATHER
God will always love you.  Pray for the Holy Trinity to have mercy on you, and ask the Virgin Mary to pray for you, and Saint Joseph's protection; next, move slowly, and do things properly, so as not to offend the Church; moreover, not offend yourself, for you are an appendage of the Church.

JOANNA
I understand.

FATHER
One Our Father; plus, one Hail Mary.  Now, say your Act of Contrition.

   
   The ritual of mystic ceremony continued, and Joanna was feeling better; still, she was definitely crushing on Bobby McQuade--the simple janitor, the serf.
