Hideeho!
'Tis I, Tari. I know it's been a while since you've heard from me but I haven't really been writing much since moving out of my parents house. I've been spending A LOT of time watching movies and TV shows online, working on segments with my cowriter and best friend, Kawaii Stella, and helping my roommate, Haley Phoenix, with her stories. She's asked me to advertise her work for fictionpress so, here goes.
HP is working on an adult-only book series called The Seven Cities. She's still figuring shit out and ironing out the kinks in her ideas, but she's getting there. First book is called Camthaeran. She also has a visitor's guide available but that's more for her benefit than yours. Go check it out.
Okay, so this is a story I started writing back in April because I was binge-watching The Big Bang Theory. I felt sorry for Stuart Bloom and thought he should have a special someone. And that's where this all started.
Keep in mind, I won't be updating very often as is with all my other stuff. Please don't rush me. I don't get as many ideas with this as I would like so I just have to put it together as the come. Keep Calm.
Without further ado, please enjoy this first chapter of Stuart's Nerdy Girlfriend.
Chapter One
It was a warm day in Pasadena, CA when the guys walked into the Comic Book Store to peruse the selection of books for ones they didn't have. As usual, Stuart was moving around the store, checking merchandise and answering questions.
Yup, just a normal day in Pasadena for the guys.
But all that changed when a pint-sized, petite ninja walked in.
The ninja was dressed in black with a hood drawn up over its hood and a mask covering the lower half of its face. Red, cloth gauntlets and bracers were strapped to its arms and legs by black, elastic bands and a red, cloth, chest piece hung from its shoulders, covering its front and back and held together by a ribbon pretending to be a belt. Across its back hung two fake katanas hanging in a plastic backpack with each handle sticking out over its shoulders and the blades exposed by its hips. It's fingernails were painted black with red tips and its hands were covered in homemade black, fingerless gloves.
All activities in the store ceased when this stranger walked in. Who was this weirdo? They all wondered.
Just then, Stuart smiled as though recognizing this ninja, placed his clipboard down on a stack of comic books, and approached.
"Hey, honey." he said, pulling the ninja into his arms.
The ninja reached up with one hand and pulled its mask down revealing the face of a young woman with freckles and pockmarks on her cheeks, a button nose, and large eyes. Red make-up was painted on the corners of her mouth.
"Hey, sweetie." she said, smiling up at him.
Stuart's eyes seemed to twinkle as he bent his head to give her a kiss. The girl kissed him back for a few seconds only to pull away.
"Sorry." she said, spitting out a set of vampire teeth. "They're so comfy, I forget they're in there."
Stuart grinned and gave her another kiss.
The gang looked at each other, confused now, then looked at Stuart and the ninja.
"Hey, Stuart, you wanna introduce us to your girlfriend?" one of them asked.
Stuart broke the kiss and "Oh, right. This is Abby. Abby, these are my friends, Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Rajesh Koothrappali, and Howard Wolowitz."
"Pleasure." said Abby. She smiled and the red dye on the corners of her mouth stretched. She held out a hand to each of them and only Sheldon refrained from shaking her hand. "Don't like germs?" Abby asked him.
"No." Sheldon said. "For all I know, you could be carrying a disease which could kill me."
"Fair enough." Abby said, letting her hand drop to her side.
"So, what are you supposed to be?" asked Howard.
"A vampire ninja." said Stuart.
"A what?" the guys asked.
"A vampire ninja." Abby repeated. "A vampire who became a ninja. It's something I created when I was younger and it's been sticking with me ever since."
"Okay." said Raj. He seemed skeptical but looked like he kind of liked this girl.
"That doesn't seem likely." said Sheldon. "If you were a vampire, how are you able to be out in sunlight without catching fire?"
"I don't like to stereotype." said Abby. "And, besides, a ninja is covered from head to toe anyway, so what does it matter?"
"Point taken." said Sheldon.
"Anyway, I would love to stay and chat but I just wanted to see Stuart." Abby said before they could ask her any more question. She kissed Stuart again and whispered something about seeing him later before strolling out.
Everyone in the store watched her go, including Stuart whose eyes were twinkling.
"That's right." he said to the gathering. "I've got a girlfriend."
