Summary / Spencer plus pratfall equals retrograde amnesia.

Quote

"Hey, Kyla, it's me, Spencer -- Spencer Carlin,"

Uh, I think she knows you.

Spencer stumbles over her words. "Yeah, uh, so -- you -- we -- we haven't seen each other since yesterday, and we -- I didn't see you during lunch today, because -- we haven't seen each other since yesterday, but -- I already said that. So -- yeah, call me. I mean -- I'm not telling you that you have to call me."

Your inability to articulate a simple sentence is astounding.

"So, uh, call me -- when you get a chance." She pulls her cell phone from her ear.

Shit…

Chapter Four - Part One - Hobo Clown

"Spencer," Glen says, excitedly, knocking on her bedroom door.

"Yeah," Spencer calls out, sitting at her desk, trying to finish her homework.

Geometry can suck my dick.

Glen opens the door. "You might want to familiarize yourself with a bus schedule," He walks into Spencer's room.

She turns around in her chair.

"Because, you are looking at the newest edition to the Sports-Time family." He grins.

"How does it feel to be a productive member of society?"

"I take offense to that --"

"Glen, playing Guitar Hero in your underwear isn't productive. It's -- hobo clown sad."

"Hobo clown sad…"

"Hobo clown sad -- you know -- eating cold beans out of a can with a stick, all of your worldly possessions in a sack tied to a stick. The horrible pancake makeup they wear with the beard showing through. Who wants to see that? Nobody, Glen, just like nobody wants to see you in your underwear."

"Spencer, before we moved to the land of swimming pools and movie stars I didn't have any trouble getting a date." He emphasizes the last word with 'air quotes'.

Spencer laughs. "I'm an amnesiac not a moron, and you really need to work on your double entendre."

"It's true! I was the man!" He brags.

"Glen, I'm going to let you in on a little secret."

"What?"

"High school isn't the best years of our lives. Women live well into their late seventies, right?"

Glen shrugs. " I guess --"

"Okay, well, women live well into their late seventies and men -- early seventies --"

"That's because women nag us to death." He grins.

"Wow, some of that fresh 1950's humor. So, early seventies, Glen, that's a lot of time to cram some serious living into."

"Yeah, if you haven't peaked in high school."

"I doubt high school is the apex of your life, Glen.".

"Spencer, I was --"

"The man," She finishes for him unimpressed with the moniker.

"You have no idea what it feels like to -- to not know who you are --"

"Oh, yeah, I have no idea what that feels like, Glen."

"You know what I mean…if Clay were here he could --" Glen pauses. "He could back me up."

"What was he like?" Spencer asks, genuinely curious, no one in her family seemed to talk about him. She found it a bit unsettling though. His pictures were still up and his room still in tact, but rarely a word was spoken about him.

"He was a better brother to you than me." Glen says, regretfully.

Spencer's cell phone tone fills her bedroom.

She picks up her phone and flips it open. "Bingo?"

"Bingo…" Glen makes his face and walks out of Spencer's room, closing the door on the way out

"I think we should make our friendship official." Bingo says.

."How do you propose we do that?"

"Ice cream."

"You propose ice cream?"

"I propose ice cream."

"I'm not familiar with Bingo-lingo. What the hell are you talking about?"

"Instead of saying lets meet up for coffee. I'm suggesting we meet up for ice cream. I can introduce you to the others."

A social situation…with a group of people I don't know…

"I've got geometry homework."

"I'm a math whiz!"

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah, I'm a regular Good Will Hunting."

"Why do I doubt that we would get anything done?"

"I don't know…maybe, because you're a pessimist."

"I can't…this geometry homework is kicking my ass. Another time though --"

"I'm holding you to that."

"Spencer," Glen knocks on her door.

"Okay. I'll talk to you later, Bingo, bye." She says.

"Later, Spencer."

She closes her cell phone. "Yeah," She calls out.

"Uh," Glen walks into her room.

"Are you about to come out to me?"

"Funny…she's here." He says.

"Could you be any more vague?"

"Ashley, she's here -- in our house."

"Okay,"

"Do you want me to get rid of her?"

Spencer stands up. "No, Don Corleone, but thanks for the offer."

"Spencer," Ashley looks at Spencer sitting across from her on the Carlin's front porch.

"Yeah,"

"I'm not mad at you." She says, softly.

Uh…

"I'm mad at Kyla -- for taking advantage of your condition."

"Condition…I'm not Rain-man, Ashley."

"I just -- I just -- I know that you didn't understand how this -- thing you had with Kyla would effect everyone, but now you know."

And, knowing is half the battle. G.I. Joe!

"Who is everyone?" Spencer asks.

"Well, me…"

"I'm sorry,"

Not really…

"It's okay, Spence."

"She was going to tell you."

"Is she the reason why were not together?"

"She's not the reason. You know that I don't remember us --"

"And, that's the reason why you like her."

"That's not the reason."

"How can you be sure?"

"How can you?"

"I know that if you remembered us that you wouldn't date my sister. The fact that she would -- is just -- first Aiden and now you. It's like she's trying to take over my life!"

And, the Oscar goes to…

"You're dating, Aiden." Spencer points out.

"That's different, Spencer, because I knew him first and I knew you first and she just comes in and takes what's mine."

"I didn't realize I was your property."

Ashley sighs. "I didn't mean it that way."

"I understand why you're upset, but it doesn't change how I feel about Kyla."

Ashley stands up. "Okay,"

"What did you think I was going to say?" Spencer stands up.

Ashley walks to her car. "I don't know, but you could at least act like you care."

NotxxWhatxxItxxSeems

loved this chapter

cant wait for the next one!

and you're right about good writing...an idea can only tqake a person so far in life

Yup, it's one thing to have a great idea it's another thing to be able to execute it.

AbsoluteGarbage

erg aiden is such a jerk but wutevs as long as spyla is around im good...looking forward to more!

There isn't any Spyla in this chapter. Come to think of it there's more Spencer and Aiden interaction than anything else.

ShawdowStalker001

omg the catcher in the rye scene where aiden thinks it's about bread portrays him oh so well;) the idiot he really is!

That was a really FUN scene to write!

Sooragameela87

soo, i'm thinking aiden is kinda dumb... but i'm loving the whole ashley walking in on spencer and kyla thing, and i'm really hoping to learn more about her reaction to it soon, so please pms :)

I think Ashley's reaction might be a bit of a letdown because she's not angry with Spencer. She's angry with Kyla.

Sexyluv07

I really do love they way spencer and kyla are. It's genius. They are so out of character and i love it. PMS Please

Well, Spencer is different, but I'd like to think that at the core of her character in this story she's trying to do the right thing like canon Spencer tries to do the right thing on the show. And, Kyla…I just decided not to write her as an airhead like they did this latest season because I think she deserves better than that.

Sayanythinglover

wow. i'm not one to write reviews but you pretty much forced me to. this story has completly captured my interest and it won't let go. and honestly, i don't think i want it to. i always find myself smiling as i'm reading each line. you're doing one hell of a job from one writer to another, especially with this chapter. the lines between spencer and aiden? brillant. keep up the good work :)

Thank you! It always feels good to know that readers and writers appreciate the face that I'm trying to put out a well written story. And, some chapters just come easier than others. 'Ashley with a Side of Beef' was pretty easy for me to write. 'Hobo Clown' not so much though. It probably seems underwhelming in comparison.

Dttdemon

aww where's Kyla? Aiden's a prick. and I

Kyla's missing in action again, but all will be revealed in the next chapter.

Madam-xt

lets see i missed a few update.
first off, that public transport thing, was funny as, but i couldnt watch the video, the link didnt work for me so i hoping you could do it again? lol

secondly, when they were at the diner, after kyla choose the booth, spencers thought was
'lets make babies'...can i say i love you yet? LOL, i laughed so hard. i was really quite in the lounge and i started laughing and my mum looked at me weird, haha

so this is long isnt it? lol, just a few more things. very nice updates, lovely lovely. and post some more son

I forget that unfortunately on this site you can't post website addresses in a story.

hxxp/ww./watch?vRKdcJfIM-tE

Just change the 'x'' into 't' and add the 'w' after the two '/' and you should be able to view the video.

NOTxINx2xLABELS

wow this chapter had so much things wrapped into one. very funny title. but the one thing that is weird is that adien is a self absorbed jackass. awsome update PMS

You think Aiden being a self absorbed jackass is weird?

Skyler7749

Once again pure awesomeness! The bus stuff was freaking hilarious and Aiden is a jackass. lol I just had to say that, anyways great stuff like always.

Thank you, and it's pretty easy to write Aiden as a jackass, but I'm going to try to spot relying on that so much to bring the funny. I wouldn't want readers to become bored with their banter.

Physcob2002

good chapter, hope things turn out for the good with spyla pms

Of course things will turn out good for Spyla, but there might be some bumps along the way.
