Okay, I really was touched by the story What Happened To Lani Garver and am seeing very few good and interpretive fics. So, I will do a thick and extensive and long and ongoing fanfic for my beloved Lani, who is so incredibly smexy that you will not believe it. So yeah. Be happy and give lots of reviews. Haruka-chi loves reviews.

"It's been long enough
Now only sunshine could save me
I've still been waiting for you
Who will never come back again
I love you forever
I can't live without you anymore
I love you forever
Your body is so cold and so hard
Please come back"

Claire Mackenzie hurried along a Philadelphia sidewalk, her newly cut bangs twisting in the faint sea breeze, as she moved farther and farther from the buses of Hackett Island. Her electric guitar, a brand new Gibson she had received for her birthday, was strapped to her back, moving as she walked. Wearing a bright blue pleated skirt and her Bloody Mary 'tank top', along with her beloved leather jacket she had received in Sophomore year, she jogged faster towards a small cafe in her knee-high black platform boots. She was in quite the hurry. Ellen had told her that something interesting would happen at their lunch meeting today. Claire wanted to know what the hell it was. But Ellen had told her to look sharp.
Sporting the aforementioned clothing along with a pair of bright blue fishnets and plenty of colorful makeup, she looked the part. She had actually dyed her hair black with dark blue streaks, and cut it boyishly short in the back, with bangs in the front. The hairdresser had suggested it to her, because of her round face structure. She had almost insisted on her usual haircut, but then gave in after the hairdresser sketched how it would look and showed her. She was convinced that she looked good, and she did. Her makeup was outrageous but beautiful, with bright blue eyeshadow blended beautifully with black eyeliner and mascara. Her skin was pale and her lips blended, as they were very thin and light. Her eyebrows had always been thin and sculpted, but they looked even better now. She was tall and naturally thin; but not as thin as she had been when she was EDO.
Reaching the door to the cafe and glancing quickly at the sign yelling 'Jean's Cafe', she reached out somewhat hesitantly and tugged it open by the handle that proudly pronounced 'pull'. She took a deep breath. She hoped this wasn't another ploy at finding her a boyfriend again; Ellen was convinced she still thought too much about Lani. She could still envision him, and every time she did her heart beat faster than it ever had for Scott or any of her other childhood crushes. She was hiding her love for Lani from Ellen, and even herself, but the way she obsessed over where he was now made it obvious to Ellen what the matter was.
Slipping inside the cramped cafe, she searched for Ellen. A flash of beautiful red hair caught her eye and she swiveled to face ... someone's back. Very confused, she peered around to see Ellen, who was smiling as if she were immensely relieved or something. Not wanting to be rude, Claire slipped back behind the person's back and was about to ask them to excuse her when she noticed something. This person looked very thin. And they had wide shoulders. The person was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and it seemed boyish, although the hair was fairly long and wavy, and came to the person's shoulders. Claire's eyes began to widen into black pinpricks in a sea of white as Lani Garver turned around, his eyes just as wide, and meeting hers.
"H-huh?" Claire stuttered, as she slid slowly to the ground, unconsciously grabbing the edge of Lani's T-shirt on the way down. Her eyes were filling up with tears, but she had no clue why. She thought vaguely that it was lucky she was wearing waterproof makeup. She sat on her knees and stared forwards absently.
"Claire" Lani said in a barely restrained tone.

"I always love you
I can't see your face with my tears
Baby, I miss you
God, please don't take him
Far away from me
I love you forever
I'm walking in the dark
Is this a fog or tears?
I can't see anything
Where are you?
I'm holding a piece of dream that you gave me"
