Subject:  NEW Challenge: "I smell PEZ!"

Hey Folks,

I don't think I've ever posted a challenge here before but something 
happened to me yesterday that got me thinking and, since I've got my 
hands full right now, I thought someone out there might want to run 
with this.

I was in the midst of a typical Monday when I walked into a 
coworker's office to discuss something with her. She began sniffing 
and announced, "I smell PEZ!" to which I responded, "Excuse me, did 
you just say that you smell PEZ?" She replied, "Yes, and I think it's 
YOU." I had just put on my favorite hand cream (Heavy Duty Hand 
Gear), which she SWEARS smells just like PEZ. (That would explain my 
addiction to the stuff.) Here's the thing: they also make BODY lotion 
that smells exactly the same way.


So, if anyone is interested, please write a fic containing the 
following:

Miss Parker having just recently discovered and fallen in love with 
(they are fabulous!) Heavy Duty personal care products.

At least THREE people (one of whom MUST be JAROD) saying, "I smell 
PEZ!"


And the fic should address the following:

Is Miss Parker's addiction to her newly discovered body lotion a 
coincidence or does she, either CONSCIOUSLY or UNCONSCIOUSLY, realize 
she smells like PEZ, that is, before anyone tells her so? (I am not 
suggesting an answer here, just posing the question.)

What would Parker's reaction be to hearing that she smells like PEZ?

What would Jarod's reaction be to the concept of a WOMAN smelling 
like his favorite confection?

More specifically, what would Jarod's reaction be to HIS HUNTRESS 
smelling like his favorite confection?


PLEASE NOTE: The required events can happen in whatever order you 
like, (e.g., Jarod could discover the lotion first if you like) and, 
aside from the above-stated elements, writers are encouraged to take 
this wherever they like.


Anyway, good luck to anyone who might be willing to use this!

Later,

G:-)
