Debbie & Jeffs Story

Once upon a time there were two little fledgling owls Jeffrey & Debbie living in a tree, they didn’t really know each other & only chatted occasionally, in polite conversation. As they got to know each other they became friends as they played with all the other Owls late at night, despite the fact it was well past their bedtime Slowly they got closer in this fantasy world and Debbie Owl found out Jeffrey had back problems and gave a gentle back massages to help him feel better, whilst in the real world the two people slowly got to know each other as friends finding they shared a lot of similar dreams about life

This was despite their different situations and family responsibilities in the real world, and as in all the best stories Jeffrey Owl became quite fond of Debbie, but he had promised that they were “just good friends” so because he did not want to lose this special friend he kept to his word continuing to be friends in real life whilst the relationship developed in the fantasy
Whilst with the Owls they had adventures with the rest of the Owls but never together as a couple travelling to fantasy holidays in Dans plane Because of circumstances, the two young Owls moved with their new friends to the fantasy pub called Cuckoos, where the relationship developed both on and off the fantasy, but in the real world it was only as friends so they both said to each other and the world, whereas in the fantasy they became very close and eventually seemed to spend most nights either at Debbie or Jeffreys home, quite happily joining in the fun of the pub and going on more adventures


The most important trip they went on was to France & a special visit to the top of the Eiffel Tower, where they were happy together, but sadly Brenny turned up out of the blue and not by intent spoilt the moment, when maybe they could spoken about how they felt in greater detail

Well in the mean time the two of them together with other friends decided to attend meetings in the real world of Saga friends, the first being in Manchester, well they both looked forward to this, but Debbie Owl suddenly seemed anxious for reasons Jeffrey could not understand about the meeting But on the day they met at the local railway station with their friend Sue, after a quick mobile phone call, because they had never really spoken in the real world, Jeffrey was really pleased at what a lovely voice Debbie had, then when they came face to face they were so content in each others company, but neither mentioned this,
But they spent all the time talking to others but in each others company, sadly they had to part but were due to meet again soon in the real world In the meantime they talked about the fact that they both loved Owls and Cuckoos but wanted to do something more relaxed and gentile instead on the fantasy and out of that came their Tea For Two Tearoom, in which their roles changed within the fantasy to business partners. They chatted about what they would like the fantasy to become finding they had shared dreams about an ideal world, both in fantasy as well as the real world.

They next met in Doncaster and by now people actually thought they were a couple both in fantasy and the real world and being the people they were, they denied all of this explaining the difference plus the fact they had these two separate lives and were just good friends

By now they were chatting to each other both in chats as well as chatting on the phone, but still the relationship did not change, whilst both looked forward to the calls but trying to convince themselves that there was nothing else to the relationship, because neither wanted to be hurt or to hurt the other by moving the relationship on.
The next important meeting was that in Birmingham, when Jeffrey Owl decided he would speak to Debbie because he wanted to explain that he was becoming very fond of Debbie, but was willing to accept her friendship if that was all it was to be, because this was so important to him, but nothing happened, the opportunity just did not seem to occur for them and he did not have the courage to leave the group to talk about how he felt to

her After the meeting there the Cuckoos pub closed down and the Owl and Pussycat singles bar took its place in fantasy so again Jeffrey and Debbie were working at the pub but only as friends this time and Jeffrey had been asked to change the personality of the character that he was on the forum.

So he started to become outrageous showing varied range of avatars to amuse himself and others, then the following night despite the fact that in the real world he does not drink alcohol he did a good imitation of a drunk which both him and others enjoyed.

That night they had been talking to each other about places that they would like to visit in the world and Debbie mentioned that although she had never been able to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower in reality only the fantasy she would love to do the trip and she asked had he really been drinking, but he reassured her that it was all fantasy

Well that night Jeffrey could not sleep but couldent work out why so got up in the early hours and thought about what was bothering him, he realised that it was to do with the fact he was getting more and more fond of Debbie, but how to tell her, “well I know he said I will go and suggest that we go to Paris and up the Eiffel Tower” to see what she said

He put the computer on logged in and started writing to her, the easy bit was suggesting the trip, but then shyness and lack of confidence stepped in whilst he tried to find the right words to say how he felt but also frightened that he had spoilt their friendship, so trying to find a way to maintain that at the same time.

Now he knew Debbie would be fast asleep so he would have to wait until she read it for his reply, so got up early later that morning expecting no answer or a total rejection, switched on the computer and logged in, now as some of you will know Jeffrey writes great long pieces whereas Debbie can say the same thing in a few words.


He saw he had a message from Debbie so clicked on it and there it was, an answer very brief and the last thing that he expected although what he wanted to hear YES, that was all it said, well butterflies and all sorts of emotions went through his head, he looked and looked at it and it did not change, did it mean Yes she wanted to go or what, so he quickly sent another message to clarify and was so pleased at the response, yes she wanted to go with him and yes she was very fond of him.
Well since then they have talked and sent messages as you would imagine, but apart from a very few friends so far have not told to many people although both feel they want to tell the world, in fact it reminded Jeffrey of the song “Secret Love” when people finally are able to say how much they care for each other to everybody.

Now Jeffrey has never been good with text messages but the happy couple send each other texts, messages and have long phone calls on a regular basis, talking about how foolish they have both been in not wanting to speak to the other about their feelings before now and how special they both feel the other is.

About Paris, unfortunately it may have to wait a little because of all the other things in life, but hopefully they will finally achieve that in the not to distant future, but they are meeting very soon and finally may be able to express face to face how happy they are to of found each other
