Chapter Two: Oh Shitake Mushrooms.
Ellie sat up, rubbing her forehead. "What the hell!" she yelled at the guy who was kneeling in front of her, picking up papers that had fallen. "You crash into me, and you don't even apologize?! British guys are rude!"
The guy looked up at her with big blue eyes, and the corners of his lips tugged down in a frown. "Oh, I'm sorry," he said, looking Ellie up and down. "I guess I forgot my manners there for a moment." The guy helped her to her feet, and smiled down at her. "I'm Danny," he explained. "Danny Jones."
"Ellie Frey," she replied, oblivious. Normally, Ellie would have recognized this person AND his famous name, but she was still pretty angry. "So, where were you going in such a painful hurry?"
Danny leaned against the wall. "My flat, actually. I just finished writing this song, and- wait. Did you just say that your name is Ellie Frey?" he asked with wide eyes. "As in, the Ellie Frey of "Time Lost with Anonymous Folk"?"
And, despite the throbbing pain in her forehead, Ellie smiled. People knew her! People in ENGLAND! "Yeah, that's me," she said. "Why?"
"My mates and I love your web show!" Danny explained. "We watch your new episodes every week! My mate Dougie is pretty much hooked on the robot because of you two."
This made Ellie laugh. "That was all Leslie's idea, actually. 'The robot is not a dance; it is a way of life'. It's her unofficial motto. She'll act like a robot for hours on end. It can actually get a bit annoying after awhile, but, you gotta love Leslie."
"Oh, wow, you're bleeding," he said, holding the papers under his arm as he gently touched her forehead. "You're coming back to my flat with me. I need to make sure that doesn't get infected."
"Um, alright," she agreed.
*****
Danny opened the door to flat # 394, which was the flat he shared with his mates Harry, Dougie and Tom. He led Ellie inside and motioned for her to have a seat on the zebra-print couch.
"Don't mind the underwear on the floor!" he yelled to her from the kitchen. "It's my mate Tom's. He just throws it out here when he needs to have it washed."
Ellie leaned away from the underwear, and proceeded to look around the room. There were definitely a lot of posters for "Back to the Future", and a white and black Fender Strat was on a stand in the corner. She was guessing that Danny lived with all guys, because the place smelled of mouthwash, beer, and laundry detergent.
That was when she remembered who Danny Jones was. Sadly, that was also the exact moment that Danny walked into the room with the first-aid kit.
"Alrighty," he sat beside her, opening the tiny white box. "Count to one hundred by twos, please."
"Um, why?" Ellie asked.
"I need to make sure that you don't have a concussion," Danny said with a sad smile. "If you do, I'll have to take you to the hospital. So, start counting."
"Okay. Um, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12…" she continued counting as Danny cleaned off her forehead and dabbed antiseptic on it. Then, he placed a cute little Spiderman band-aid over the cut. "…96, 98, 100. Okay, you done yet?"
"Yup, I've just finished," he grinned at her. "So, what're you doing in London? Or, did you come all this way just to crash into me?"
"Well, Les and I-" her phone rang to the tune of the "Back to the Future" theme song. "Speak of the Devil!" Ellie answered the phone. "Hello?"
"ELIZABETH FREY, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Leslie exploded. "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR A HALF HOUR ALREADY!"
"Leslie, calm down," Ellie rolled her eyes. "I'm at… um…"
Danny stole the phone away from her, and held it up to his ear. "Hello, Danny Jones speaking."
"Um, hi?" Leslie said. "Why is Ellie with you? Did you kidnap her? Are you secretly a rapist?"
"No, of course not! I ran into her, and she got hurt. I brought her back to get her all fixed up," he explained calmly.
Leslie sighed in annoyance. "Alright, where are you? I'll come pick her up and bring her back to my Granny's place," Leslie said.
"It's 46 Churchill Way, flat number 394. Just knock."
*****
Around 9:30, Leslie arrived at Danny's flat, and Danny opened the door when she knocked. Ellie was asleep on the freaky zebra-print couch, and Leslie just rolled her eyes when she saw her asleep.
"She can fall asleep anywhere," Leslie explained, sighing.
Danny nodded. "Yeah, she dozed off about an hour ago. I would've woken her, but she looked so adorable, and I'm a sucker for adorable things. You want some coffee?"
"Sure," Leslie nodded. "Would it be okay if she crashed here for the night? You do not wanna see her when she hasn't had enough sleep – trust me."
"Alright," he said. "You can crash too, if you want."
So, it was decided that the two girls would stay overnight, and leave in the morning.
