Anyways, Pres. Uchtdorf needed to be getting on with his church stuff, so we were all "cool, Pres, see you on Thursday!" And that was that. Besides the usual school and stuff, not much else seemed to happen. Gros went on an awesome adventure:
The sky is dark and sodden with rain that just won't come. The gloomy figure of a young woman - our protagonist - stalks past a scene of empty-headed zoobies flirting at J-Dawgs. A young man puts his arm around a giggling girl and all parties laugh. Our protagonist snarls and shoves her hands deep into the pockets of her leather jacket. She presses onward.
She has been walking for hours (or maybe 45 minutes) and her patience is wearing thin. She has a terrible mission to fulfill, but the directions of some web-idiot have been leading her in circles all afternoon. She's trapped in a labyrinth of utter pointlessness, wandering in circles and cursing at any male students who try to smile at her. There is no amusement in this hellish quest of hers. After turning another corner and finding herself again at J-Dawgs, she stops and screams at the sky,
"WHERE THE DEVIL IS THE POST OFFICE?!"

...erm, back to you, Beth.
I... Yes! *cough back into 3rd person*
So Beth and Gros reunited that evening to begin their first ever cleaning check. Gros did a masterpiece with the kitchen, and Beth began to vigorously work with the living room. Things went well until they both realized that they may actually need to acquire some hard-core cleaning supplies to actually satisfy their check.
So they took a Macey's run (like usual.) They jumped out of the car and bolted for the store, running (literally) into none other than Jack Sparrow! *gasp* He helped Grosland up with a hurried apology, completely ignoring Beth (who was dressed as an emo man on accident.) He was terribly excited to see Grosland!
"I read that entire book last night!" he said excitedly. Only then did Beth and Grosland realize he was wearing a suit and tie. "So it turns out I can't actually play the guitar," Gros interjects as I type. "Yet." I feel a real kinship with that Nephi-guy. I've thought it over and I'm going to be baptized this Saturday!" (Sorry, you won't be back Erin.) Gros and Beth were, naturally, very excited about this and offered him their congratulations. He invited them to his baptism and they talked about it the whole time they were searching for oven cleaner. It was epic.
Then, just as Beth remembered that Erin wanted them to give Jack her number, he turned Grosland and asked (very sincerely and not-drunkenly) "You have truly changed my life... would you give me the... pleasure of dallying over to a restaurant and dining handsomely with me tomorrow evening?" Grosland stood stupidly with her mouth open for a moment before Beth smacked her. When she'd regained her senses, she said, "Yes! Yes, I'd love to!" (So, naturally, the opportune moment for giving Jack Sparrow Erin's number had passed. Sorry, roomie.) So now Grosland has a date with Captain Jack Sparrow tomorrow. At Pirate Island, of course. And Beth will be spending the evening playing Pick-up Sticks with President Uchtdorf. (Gros was supposed to be at that party too, but Pres. Uchtdorf will understand. He enjoys speaking in German with Beth anyway, and Grosland just gets miffed when they do it around her.) A happy day for all. (Except Erin, who is too busy having fun at THE ZOO for us, anyways.)
Oh. And Beth's belly-dancing continues to improve.
