JOHNNY BRAVO

CHAPTER ONE

LIFE

Life was pretty good for Johnny, cruising around on his motorcycle, being the object of every woman's desire then at night returning home where a big breasted blond woman is waiting to worship the very ground he walks on, the air was fresher, the water was sweeter and everything was on the up and up. As he pulled into the driveway of his lavish mansion he could see his wife standing at the front door wearing practically nothing and as he made his way to her he felt like he was walking on cloud nine but then unexpectedly he felt like he stepped in mud, he looked down and saw his foot was sinking into the concrete, he desperately tried to pull his leg out the more he sank into the concrete and by the time the concrete was up to his waist he began to panic and each for anything that he could use to pull himself out. Once the concrete had reached his neck he noticed the blonde woman slowly approaching him "help me!"

She didn't respond but instead put her foot on top of his head and began pushing him deeper into the concrete until he was now fully emerged, at that moment he sat straight up in his bed in cold sweat while trying to catch his breath, it took him a couple of seconds to catch his breath then once he was now breathing normally he swung his legs over the side and stood up. He couldn't help but look down at his pot belly and sigh, he then cleaned himself up and put on his usual black shirt and jeans "looking good" he said trying to put on a fake smile while trying to ignore the bits of gray hair amongst the blonde, he walked out of his room into a diner and began preparing for the day, as he fired up the grill he couldn't help but think about the events of the past years, his mother kicking him out, him barley making his way through the war and inheriting pop's diner after his death. About half way through the day he was hip deep in orders running back and forth between the kitchen and serving the customers but once the lunch crowd had settled a man in an obviously expensive suite walked in and sat down at the counter, Johnny didn't realize the man had sat down until he turned around and immediately recognized him "look who decided to come down from his ivory tower"

"And look who crawled out of the gutter"

The two immediately busted out laughing as Johnny leaned over the counter and hugged the man "it's great seeing you Johnny"

"You to Carl"

The two old friends nearly spent an hour talking as Johnny served the other customers then just as Carl finished his meal a limousine pulled up outside and honked it's horn twice "sorry Johnny, I've got to go"

"No problem, same time next week"

"You know it"

Carl then slapped a fifty dollar bill on the table and said his goodbye as he walked out the door.

The rest of the day seemed to go on as normal that is until about fifteen minutes before closing Johnny heard the bell over the door ring which prompted him to stop cleaning dishes and head to the front counter where he found someone reading the menu "hey there, were just about to close up so I can't guarantee it will be fresh"

The person didn't replay and just kept on reading the menu keeping their face hidden behind it "got any pie left"

Johnny immediately looked over at the opposite end of the counter and noticed there was one slice of cherry pie left "I got a slice of cherry"

"That will be perfect"

Johnny made a quick note in his pad of paper and went over to collect the pie, once it was on a plate he walked over to the customer and set it down in front of them and at that very moment the person to reveal a red headed woman in her early to mid-twenties "thank you"

Johnny heart seemed to skip a beat then once he collected himself he decided to lean next to the woman "hey there mama"

The woman couldn't help but smile as she took another bite of pie "so what's fine thing like doing in a place like this"

The woman chuckled as she set her fork down "I used to live here as kid until my family moved to Europe, I'm just here to see old friends"

"Oh really"

"Yeah, you got any milk"

"Of course, let me get that for you"

Johnny went back and got her a glass of milk but when he got back to the front the woman was gone, leaving behind only exact change for the pie and the half eaten pie itself. As he got closer to the counter he noticed a folded up napkin sitting just under the money, when he picked up the money he noticed his name written on the napkin, he opened up the napkin which had written on it "good to see you again handsome"

He was completely confused by the woman note but that's when he noticed what time it was and decided to finish cleaning up then head to bed. The next day was his day off so he decided to spend the day picking up supplies while every once in while hitting on some woman who like normal dismiss him, roll their eyes in disgust or straight up slap him, but during all of the rejections that woman kept popping into her head, he was still trying to figure out who she was but not a single person was coming to mind so he just decided to focus on other things and maybe his subconscious would figure it out. Once he was done shopping he dropped off everything back at the diner he went over to his mom's house for Sunday dinner like he usually did, he was just about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened revealing a woman who barley came up to Johnny's chest "hey mama"

"Johnny sweetie, you're just in time, I just took the roast out of the oven"

He helped her finish up dinner and once they sat down she asked him how things were going at the dine "fine, had the weirdest thing happen yesterday"

"Really"

"Yeah, a customer yesterday ordered some pie then she left me a note"

He then pulled out the note and handed it to her "huh, do you know who it is?"

"No clue, but I hope I see her again, she seemed so familiar but I just can't place her, it's driving me crazy"

"My, she must have made a great impact, I've never seen you this worked up"

As soon as she said that he realized she was completely right, this really was the first time in a long time that a woman gave him the time of day and didn't immediately slap him.

Once dinner was over the two watched TV until his mother decided to call it a night, on his way back to the diner he found himself driving through a graveyard then as if he were sleepwalking he got off of his motorcycle and wandered into the maze of headstones until he stopped at one in particular, he kneeled down and brushed off some leaves "hey pop"

He then pulled out a small book and opened it to a marked page "the diner is doing just fine, though I'll still never understand why you left it to me, maybe because you saw me as the son you never had… I don't know, everything seemed to change after the war…"

Before he could continue Johnny noticed a car pull up behind his bike, as he slowly stood up someone exited the car and slowly started to walk towards him. Johnny couldn't make out who it was because of the headlights from the car which was shadowing the person's features only seeing there silhouette and it wasn't until the person was a few feet from Johnny before he realized who it was "hello Johnny"

Johnny was little taken aback by the woman he had met earlier being here "you again"

"Yes"

She then looked down at the gravestone "no ever told me had died, I didn't find out until I came back"

Johnny could clearly tell the saddened look on the woman's face which finally prompted him to ask "who are you?"

The woman couldn't help but chuckle before turning towards Johnny "well I have changed a lot… it's me Johnny, its Suzy."
