A Talk

.

Matters had gone rather smoothly between Wanda and Kurt since the Tabatha incident. However, there were still some loose ends in need of some straightening. Placing her black vest over her stripped shirt to match her black pants she headed out the door to a dinner outside of town where she planned to have a conversation with Todd.

...

Todd was more than anxious as he drummed his nails on the splintered wooden table as he waited for Wanda. He considered the call he recieved that morning a godsend. His Wanda had finally woke up from that terrible German nightmere to be with him. Smiling he eagerly took the water the waitress offered imagining a Wanda filled future.

Seven minutes later said Goth entered the dinner. She walked in slowly with an air about her that made Todd sit up straight. Whatever she had to say was very important.

"May I get you something to drink?" The waitress, Cherry, asked.

"Coffee,black." Wanda answered slipping into the booth.

When the waitress walked away Todd spoke, "So what is it that was so urgent Wanda cakes that you wanted me all alone in a dinner this far outta town?" he finished with a smirk.

Instead of answering she busied herself with her fingers making sure to crack each knuckle loudly.

"Here ya go," Cherry beemed, "What would you all like to eat?"

"I'll have the number five." Todd pointed to a hamburger with fried on the menu.

"I'm fine."

The waitress shot a tip worthy smile at them both before returning to her work. Todd began hinting non to abstractly at this being a date. All the while Wanda remained silent. She did not scold or congradulate his ideas. She simply waited for him to stop which didn't happe until the Number Five was placed before him.

"Todd," she finally spoke to him, "Do you know why I am here?"

"Cause shmookums," chewing sounds, "We are on a date."

"Todd, that is incorrect. Try again."

Still chomping away, "Oh I get it. We're just friends," he winked.

Dropping her eyes to her coffee, "I know what you did."

Todd looked perplexed for a moment before he shrugged it off to devour his fries. About alf way through reality smaked him in the face. how could he had forgotten what he did! Letting the half eaten fry fall from his lip to his plate he began to utter apology after apology.

Raising her hand to silence him, "Enough. I did not come here to hear your excuses. It is only because I have known you since childhood that I will spare you the beating that I so gracefully bestowed upon Tabatha."

Relaxing somewhat, "So we can put this whole thing behind us?"

"No," she snapped before regaining her composure, "When we were children we used to always be there for each other. If someone wanted a piece of one of us we had each other's back. We didn't let money, or treats, or relationships get in our way Todd. What happened to that?

What happened to the comrodery? The trust? When I look at you it is hard for me to see the boy I grew up. That boy might had had a chance."

"But I'm still the same guy Wanda!" he protested.

Leering, "The boy my twin and I used to play with would never stoop so low as to hurt me. A true friend would had been happy for me instead of being the jealous bastard that you are."

Appetite loss he stared at his shoes guiltily whispering, "But Wands you and I."

"Get this through your thick skull Todd. You and I, Me and you, this," she circled them with a finger, "will never happen."

"Wanda!"

"Shh," she scolded making sure to keep her temper in check, "I came here today to tell you to lay off. That we're through. That we will never be together ever. If the human race depended on us I'd rather take a bullet to the head or a plunge off the nearest cliff. We will never be together. Do you understand? I DO NOT LOVE YOU."

She watched as Todd looked on the verge of tears blinking his eyes rapidly before she continued.

"Todd I don't want you to be upset, then pissed, then start blaming Kurt for taking me away from you. We both know you cant lose what you never had. And if by some chance you do try to ruin things between Kurt and I ever again you might just go missing one of these days," she pulled a dollar fifty out, "Thanks for the coffee."

He watched her leave just as cool and collected as she came in leaving him to wallow in self pitty with the company of an unsipped cup of coffee.

...

Bouncing his tennis ball off his bedroom wall, "Man,I wished she would had just beat me up." He played catch with himself for a while before rolling onto his back. What was he to do. Wanda told him not to blame Kurt, but he couldn't help himself. His mind instantly chased after the foreigner.

He wanted nothing more than to punch Kurt's face in, but then he thought f Wanda. Wanda said he had changed. That he wasn't like how he used to be.

"I aint different." he told his reflection. Looking at himself he had to admit that his childish features gaveway to his more masculine look. He was taller now, but he wasn't so stupid as to think she spoke of physical change.

Sitting back on his bed he decided to do something he hadn't done in a long while; think. When he was done he came to a few conclusions.

1. I never thought about Wanda with any decisions I made.

2. I am selfish.

3. I hurt her.

4. I never realized number three until she told me so.

5. I am a crppy friend

So now that he figured that out what was a heart broken teenager to do?

...

"Kurt," his mother called from downstairs.

"Ja?"

"You have a guest!"

Happily he changed into something presentable. he was a little upset that Wanda had to take care of some buisness today so he couldn't see her and now here she was waiting at his door step! Taking the stairs two at a time he practically floated to the door. He opened it and his heart shrunk, "Amanda?"
