Disclaimer; I dont own any character/place from the show only my original character and the plot. Will have more mature content later.
Springfield was in the midst of a spring rain storm, the streets were pretty empty this time in the morning, save for the odd determined shopper. Jeff, or as everyone else knew him, Comic book guy, sighed heavily, stirring a nacho into a tin of nacho cheese while clicking through his computer for new items to put up in his store. He enjoyed his work and was heavily passionate about it, as everyone knew. However it did get rather boring when all day he dealt with kids and adolescents ho did not treat his trade with due respect, and business had slowed lately after all the internet comic shops became popular. He heard the bell to his door open and just ignored it, thinking it was that Simpson kid and his weeny of a friend here to cause trouble again.
"Please keep your sticky little hands off! All the new editions I do not need some snot nosed little vandals ruining my business further." He spoke in his usual sarcastic and mellow tone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just looking for a first edition manga novel, you do sell those here right?"
The soft voice brought Jeff's head right up and his jaw dropped, only managing a not so intelligent sounding. "Errrrrr."
The woman who spoke walked up to the front desk and asked again. "Manga novels? If you don't have them I can try somewhere else?" She tucked her auburn hair behind her shoulder waiting for him to respond.
"No no no, we have them, I just keep them in the back room, none of the children here hold much interest in such sophisticated graphic novels." He waved a hand to keep her here and picked up a set of keys, lifting the half door for her to walk through, unlocking the back room. There were several items in there, limited edition this, and special edition that. In a corner was a turn stand full of mangas and graphic novels.
"Thank you, I feel like I should be honoured to be back here, oh there it is." She picked up a copy of Strawberry panic an pulled out her purse. "How much do I owe you sir?"
He couldn't help watch her backside as she reached for the bottom ring of the stand. "Oh uh, that will be $4.50." He accepted her $5 note and went back to the cash register, handing back her change. "So..if you don't mind me asking are you new in town?" He wanted to ask why she was in a store like this when she could get her novels from other places, but changed his mind last minute.
"I am, I got offered a job here at animation studios, nothing major, just advertisement work. Say if you're not too busy later perhaps you could show me around town?" She asked with a kind, sincere smile.
Jeff twitched thinking he must have fallen asleep at his desk and was dreaming this. There was a gorgeous girl in his store asking him to show her around. "Of course, I would be happy to escort a lovely lady around Springfield." He blushed a little realizing how corny that actually sounded.
The 'lady' giggled and turned to leave before realizing she forgot to introduce herself. "I almost forgot, my name is, Charlotte. Yours?"
"Jeff, but most people call me. Comic book guy." He put his hand on his chest proudly but chuckled a bit embarrassed.
"That's cool, I'll stop by later then, Jeff." She winked before leaving the store, and a flabbergasted comic book guy.
This is just the opening for the story really I will write more if I get a good few reviewsand interest.
