#1 of Time After Time


Hey Folks, Before I do get started, I'd like to deicate this one to a very special red dragon *cough-coughWILL-cough* ^..^ He's the one responsible for nudgin' me to FINALLY get my stories up. Love you man!!! m/ ^..^ m/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...Was it so wrong? I didn't know...and at that point in time, I couldn't even think straight. His mighty lion arms wrapped around me and sucked me in for what was one of the most AMAZING kisses I've ever felt. So warm...so comforting...something so beautiful that I hadn't felt in quite sometime. Ah hell, I'ma be honest...something I've never really felt. And I embraced his kiss, his warmth...and at the moment, I accepted HIM. But I bet you're wondering..."The HELL IS GOING ON??" Haha, don't worry, relax and let me tell this story. It's a dozy mind you and this bear...has ALOT to say. So let's start....from the beginning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[Aren't these little marker thingys the shit?]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life was good for my age. Andy's my name and I was 17 years young...not a care in the world. Well, sort of...I was preoccupied with worst thing that could EVER happen to a senior...moving. Sadly, it could be helped because my father was in the military. He's involved through the Auto Mechanic aspect of it and that's as much as I know. He always kept his job to himself, leaving my mom, older brother and myself out the loop majority of time. I couldn't help but think that I knew moving was inevitable, that same evening he told us at dinner. Mom had cooked a banquet because my bro, Archie, just returned home from his internship with National Public Radio. I think one of the main reasons me and him always got along was because of our love of music. Heh, except he's had more of a nack for the business side and loves the idea of hosting a show on a radio station someday or even owning one. Mom had placed the plates filled with stuffed pork, golden corn and yellow rice "layer'd with Chiz-mol!! [kinda like salsa, but mom style that is SO much better]" as she would say, haha. It was then I pondered how she balanced so much between her banking job, cooking, and all of us. She's always on the phone with her fellow co-workers complaining about new employee's and their "screw ups". Archie and me were also helping set the table as dad sat in his "MAN-BEAR" chair. Clad in business attire as usual, reading the newspaper with his readin glasses. Eventually we all sat, said the blessing and began to feast. Soon after finishing the wonderful meal, we all were wrapping up and continued talking. "Seriously, it was an AMAZING experience and I can't wait for the next semester to role around" said Archie as he gulped down the last bit of Pepsi in his cup. "Ya know Arch, I can't believe how much you're doing for a soph. in college" I stated. "Crazy isn't it" He replied. "Well you did graduate at #4 in your class hun, with a 4.1 GPA" mom said smiling. "Mom, I hate it when ya say that" Archie said smirking. "Oh why honey? You know it's true" replied mom. "I know, it's just I hate sayin' it because it make me feel like I'm braggin' ya know?" he said wiping his mouth with a napkin. It was at that point my pop spoke...."*ahem* I have...something to tell you all". We all stopped our talking and payed attention to the Bear of the house. "I have been given an opportunity, by the Department of Defense to take the position of Head of U.S. Auto Mechanical Affairs". "Sweet deal pop!" I suddenly shouted "Yeah, that sounds great dad" Archie said in agreement. "See Phillip, I told you they would be supportive" my mom said sweetly as she got up to re-fill he cup. "And well...I've taken the job offer." he said as he finished wiping his mouth. All of us clapped and cheered at the news. But as we did, I looked at pop and saw a sort of..."here comes the bad news" look on his face when he looked down a tad. "...However..." All of us stopped and looked at him as he said "We HAVE to move.." The room, went dead silent and I looked at him and he looked up at me and I replied after a minute of silence "Are....are you serious?" as my mouth still hung open from dis-belief. " *sigh*...Yes..." he replied. "Now honey..." mom began to say as she came behind me to rub my shoulder. "NO...n-no....you CAN'T be serious!?" I said strongly, "This is MY senior year...my last year in the high school I've grown in. I HAVE GROWN UP HERE, ALL MY FRIENDS....EVERYTHING!!!" "I know son, but" my father started to speak. "BUT NO! NOTHING!...THIS...THIS IS JUST..." My voice boomed throughout the room. I was in such a rage I couldn't help but do the teen thing and just storm to my room upstairs. They tried to call me back to the table...I ignored their pleas. Flopping on my bed face forward I covered my face with one of my pillows and started cry. It was terrible...what would I tell my friends? My friends whom majority I've know since Kinder days. Sad didn't even begin to describe the way I felt. But I should thought it was weird that we were a military fam and we DIDN'T move, but why NOW? Anytime like before middle or even the start of High school for crying out loud!!! And of course...I had no choice. The next thing I know, everything was packed before the end of the summer and I had already said my goodbye's to all my amigos. Archie had already went back to college and now me and pop were loading last minute things in the car. I was rockin' steady to some Daft Punk on my PSP as I waited for mom and pop to get into the gunmetal colored SUV. My pop hopped into the front seat and I looked ot the window. He somehow got my attention by tapping my knee and I removed my white earphones. "You know I'm sorry son...but I couldn't pass up this chance, you know that" he said honestly looking at me. I just huffed and rolled my eyes still in a bit of anger. " *sigh* You know son...did I ever tell ya how I met your mom?" He asked I shook my head and he went on saying "Well I was orginally stationed to be in Tokyo. But if I hadn't been swtiched to Guam, I wouldn't have met your mom, whom at the time was teaching under-privileged children in the local town we watched over." I looked out the window and he said "I'm just saying Andy...sometimes, change is good. And besides, maybe you'll find someone in Duffington." Mom popped in the car and asked if we were all set. "Goodbye Rovers Town....hello Duffington, Texas!!" mom cheered as we took off.

  • * * Time passed and we soon settled in and it was time for school again...psh. Dad had headed off to his job that morning and mom rushed out the door to meet with fellow head executives from the bank chain she worked with. Me....I was ;eaning on the stop sign, waiting for the bus to come at the corner. I wasn't trying to be cool or anything...fuck that, it was WAYYY too early. I stood, PSP in hand, dark blue jeans, belt and green lantern belt buckle with a green lantern logo shirt, black short sleeve dickie shirt and backpack straddled on my back. I huffed....I was hoping the news paper wasn't wrong about the stop points. That bus was late and this bear...was getting erk'd. I walked into the street and looked down to see if the bus was coming. I stood on my tippy toes on one foot as my hand covered my eyebrows to look farther down the street. "Hahaha...what are you doing?" a heard a voice laugh and say. I huffed and began to turn and say "I'm looking for the damn bus...that was...suppose to be...." As I turned I saw the most cute...hot...whatever other word there is to describe this guy. He was just....MAN! He was a tan-white sandish lion with what I couldn't believe, was a blue mane [a-rawr *wink*]. His eyes sparkled like granite stars, but yet seemed hazy like a cloud of smoke. The stature of his body was at least 6 ft. This sexy beast was wearing dark green cargo shorts and a regular white tee with Bob "The Lion" Marley with a jamacian flag printed behind his face. "Suppose to be...what?" He said confidently "Um...erm...OH...suppose to...*gulp* be here...already" I said blushing a bit. "Don't worry," he said cooly and stepped a bit closer "the bus is always late...". He just smiled and laughed a bit. "So erm...you go to.." I said, trying to keep my cool. "Yeah FoxWorth High School. You...must be the new neighbors that moved in down the hood, hugh?" he said qwerkin' his eye a bit. I nodded as we began exchanging details a bit. Like me, he was a senior and surprisingly we even had some classes together like Creative Writing, Eng. and Gym [YUSH!!!]. He also would have driven his Mustang to school, but it was in the shop. He asked me the same and I told him "us poor folk gots no vehicle". We both laughed and the bus suddenly pulled up and we sat next to each other in the rather clear bus. Only a light yellow bunny wearing glasses, a snow leopard...and a few others, but I was pre-occupied with that lion tush walking in front of me. It was once we got to school, we got off the bus, we said our "laters" and what not. Then I realized something...."HIS NAME YOU LOSER!". "Hey!!!" I yelled. Lucky for me he actually had already started running back towards me!!! "I just realized man...didn't get the name" he said smoothly with his toothy grin. "The name's Andy...and your's dude?" I replied, trying to be as equally cool. "Jason, but the nick name is Onix..." he said as he held out his paw smiling I couldn't help but smile too and shake his paw. It was at that moment, the bell rang and we were STILL IN THE BUS LOT!!! "CRAP!!! I don't even know where to go!" I said pulling out my schedule and panicking a bit. He nodded over and placed his paw on my shoulder. I swear I could have jump out my clothes, haha. "Hmm...No prob. it's on my way to class" he said. "Really?" I asked looking at him. "No...but I can still show ya" Jason, er Onix said smiling. "Sweet deal.." I replied semi-blushing. Man...it is so hard to stay cool when a hot guy you like actually see's you and is talking to you. We sped walked into the building towards class. Hmm...guess moving wouldn't be so bad after all...hugh? [Pt.2 should hopefully come soon]
