A few hours later
Loki seems to be so focused on what he's watching that he didn't notice Tony come in.
Tony: So, I have a surprise for you!
That startled Loki for a second because for the fact that he hadn't heard Tony come into his apartment.
Tony: Would you like to know what it is?
Loki: Yes!
Tony: While I was at the animal benefit, I thought I was going to just minge with the guests but then there was an animal that made me think of you.
Loki: How exactly? (He said in a curious tone)
Tony: By the color of their eyes!
Loki: So, did you play with the...
Tony: The cat! Well, I wanted to see if the cat was friendly and it was, so I decided to adopt it for you.
When Loki heard that he was completely speechless.
Tony: Her name is Grace, but if you want to change it to something else you can do that. Also, her breed is Egyptian Mau
Loki: Tony, I appreciate what you did but taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. I could fail at it.
Tony: Well, then you keep working at it until you don't.
Loki: Well, how hard could it be?
Tony: Just take it easy.
Loki: Do I have to buy the cat anything?
Tony: No! I took care of everything for you. I put the cat food in the cabinet, and I left Grace's bed and toys in the living room.
Loki: Will the cat be okay sleeping in the living room?
Tony: If you want Grace to sleep in your room you can put her bed in there.
Loki: I don't know if I feel comfortable about her sleeping with me just yet. It's all just...
Tony: Moving a little too fast for you.
Loki: Yeah!
Tony: Okay! How about I let Grace sleep in my apartment for just tonight?
Loki: No! It's okay! So, let me see what my cat looks like.
Tony: Okay!
Then Loki follows Tony to the living room where Grace is at.
A minute later
Loki can't believe how beautiful Grace looks.
Tony: So, you like her?
Loki: I don't know yet!
Tony: I got you a few books on taking care of a cat.
Loki: I appreciate that!
Tony: Okay! I'm going head back to my apartment unless you want me to hang with you and Grace for a while.
Loki: No! I will see you tomorrow morning!
Tony: Alright! Goodnight!
Loki: Goodnight!
A moment later Tony starts to head out of Loki's apartment
A little time passes
It's about 11:00 p.m.
Loki is trying to focus on writing his chapters in the computer room when he feels Grace rub against his leg.
A moment later he decides to pet her, and she seems to like him doing that.
Loki: I don't know if your name should remain Grace!
Then he heads back to his bedroom to continue watching the show on his laptop.
Many hours later
Loki awakens to find Grace sleeping on his bed and for some reason he's not mad about it.
Some time passes
It is Monday October 7, 2012.
Around 8 a.m.
Loki has just fed Grace and now he's going back to work on the book, but a moment later his cell phone rings. He decides to answer it on the third ring.
Loki: Hello!
Tony: Hey!
Loki: Hey!
Tony: I was thinking that maybe you need to take a trip somewhere new.
Loki: Tony, I don't think that necessary!
Tony: I think it is. So, I suggest you pick some place random that you haven't been to, and I will take care of getting you there.
Loki: Tony...
Tony: It would only be a few days.
Loki: Even if I consider doing that it may not help me get inspiration for what else I will do in my first book.
Tony: It could inspire you to come up with a new place to set the story in. It could encourage you to come up with other characters for the book.
Loki: It couldn't be that far away from the city, because if I'm needed to come back to the city for something important, I would have to be able to do that right away.
Tony: The only way that would work is by arranging my private helicopter to take you where you need to go.
Loki: I would be okay with that!
Tony: Good! I have to cut this conservation short. I have to be at a early board meeting at 8:15 a.m.
Loki: Okay! I will see you later then! Bye!
Tony: Remember if you need anything ask Lexie to help you.
Loki: I will!
Tony: Okay! Bye!
Seconds later the phone conservation is over.
A little time later
It's about 10:45 a.m.
Loki is thinking how he is going to use Tony's friends as characters for this book. He thinks that maybe he needs to have a board up of ideas to use.
Loki: Maybe I should have a list of characters that could be in the story and then I could decide which character I picture them as being.
Then he goes to see if there is a blank board he could use, and he sees that there is one.
Loki: Okay! So, let's start putting up what kind of characters should be in "Falling in Love with a Deranged Werewolf."
About five minutes later Loki has a one selection for werewolves, one for vampires, one for witches, and one for the normal people.
Lok: So, which friend of Tony's should we begin with first? Let's start with Bruce. He's smart like Tony and he has a good heart. Now, do I see him as a werewolf, vampire, or witch?
It doesn't take long before Loki decides that Bruce is going to be a witch character, but then decides maybe he should be a warlock because that is what males would be.
Loki: Now, let's move on to Natasha. She's someone's that fierce, smart, and some kind of a bad ass. I think she could either be a vampire or werewolf.
A little time passes
It's about 11:55 a.m.
So far Loki has Bruce and James as warlock characters, Natasha as a vampire, Thor as a werewolf, and Steve as a human.
Loki: Now, the last character for now would be deciding what character Tony would be. He could be anything really because of how smart he is, but maybe I could do a special exception that nobody would except.
Meanwhile Tony has just finished his board meeting when his cell phone rings a second later. He decides to answer it on the second ring.
Tony: Hello!
Lexie: Mr. Stark, the meeting you were supposed to have with Ms. Marks has been cancelled!
Tony: Did she give a reason why?
Lexie: Yes! She realized that she had made a prior commitment to having a meeting with someone else.
Tony: Okay! Well, did Ms. Marks say when she wanted to reschedule the meeting to?
Lexie: She was hoping later today!
Tony: If I have a time slot that is available today, I guess it would be fine.
Lexie: I will check to see and then I will let her know what other times that are available for her to see you at today. If she's able to meet you at another time that's available, I will schedule it. Then I will contact you to let you know what time she wants to meet you at.
Tony: Okay! While I have you on the phone, I have new tasks that need to be added for you.
Lexie: Okay!
Tony: On Friday I'm giving you the day off!
When Lexie heard that she was completely speechless.
Tony: I've decided that I need to take some time off. While I'm off I have arranged work for you to do. If you need to get in touch with me for anything, you can call me.
Lexie: Thank you Mr. Stark for giving me Friday off and I will do the work you have left for me to do.
Tony: Good! Goodbye!
Lexie: Goodbye Mr. Stark!
Loki then realizes he has to create character names for Tony's friends and Tony because of the fact that he can't use their actual names in the story.
Loki: I need to make sure their names sound great. I would hate myself if I came up with awful character names for them. So, let's think of names for them. Maybe I should start with Natasha first. What could her character name be?
After thinking about it for a couple of minutes, Loki decides that her character name is Katrina Avery.
Loki: Now, let's see who everyone else will be.
After twenty of minutes of going through names he has finally finished. For Bruce's character it will be Hawthorne Frisco, for James character it will be Nathan Waterson, for Thor's character his name will be Thorne Matthews, for Steve's character it will be Adam Dawson, and for Tony's character it will be David Harrison.
Loki: Well, now that they're finished there still needs to be other characters in my story "Falling in Love with a Deranged Werewolf."
He decides to take a break before five minutes but a moment before he goes to do that, he receives a text from Ms. Swan saying she wants Loki to come into the office in an hour.
Loki: I guess I should go change into something quickly!
About five minutes later he's headed out of his apartment.
A little time passes
It's about 12:17 p.m.
Loki is sitting in Ms. Swan's office.
Crystal: Well, I've got very great news for you.
Loki: Which is? (He says in a curious tone)
Crystal: You've got a meeting in San Francisco with my other friend Silvia Heart.
Loki was in shock and didn't know what to say.
Crystal: You would leave today!
When Loki heard that he was thinking will I be okay with presenting what I have so far?
Crystal: The company's private jet will take you. The car to take you will be arriving in ten minutes.
Loki: I...
Crystal: Don't worry! Your travel and hotel arrangements have been taken care of.
Loki: I don't even have a bag packed!
Crystal: You could always get new clothes!
Loki: I guess so! How long would I be in San Francisco for?
Crystal: A week!
Loki: A week! (He says in a shocked tone)
Crystal: You seem not excited about this news! (She says in a curious tone)
Loki: No, it's great! I just am so overwhelmed that this is happening so fast. I didn't think anyone else would be interested in my book idea.
Crystal: Okay! So, I will get in touch with you when you get to the hotel.
Loki: Okay!
Crystal: I also have an envelope to give you which will give you a schedule of what you will be doing while you're in San Francisco.
Loki: I will look at it later.
A moment later she hands the envelope to Loki, and he takes it seconds later.
Crystal: I want you to be honest with Silvia when she asks your input about the book.
Loki: My book "Falling in Love with A Deranged Werewolf" is very important to me. I will make sure to express what I want to see happen for the book.
Crystal: Also, it's very important that you be yourself when you're around Silvia. She has no respect for anyone who isn't what they seem to be.
Loki: Writing is what I enjoy doing. If I don't like something I will be honest about that.
A few minutes later.
Loki is on the phone with Tony.
Tony: It's great Loki!
Loki: I know! It's just I don't feel I'm ready for this to be happening so fast.
Tony: It's a great opportunity Loki! Also, if you need to talk to me about what's going on while you're in San Francisco, just call me at any time you want.
Loki: Are you sure about that? I wouldn't want to keep you from doing your job!
Tony: Actually, I've decided to take some time off from work!
Loki was surprised by Tony because of the person that he was and of course all the hard work that he put into doing his job.
Tony: I'll take of Grace while you're gone!
Loki: Thanks Tony!
Tony: Also, do you want me to read any other chapters that you have finished for your book?
Loki: That's fine! Also, can you look at the character names I've created for you and your friends. Would you be honest with me if you like them or not?
Tony: I'm always honest with you Loki! Call me later!
Loki: I will!
Tony: Good! Bye!
Loki: Bye!
Seconds later the conservation is phone.
About an hour later
Loki is headed on his way to San Francisco.
Meanwhile Bruce is over at Tony's apartment.
Tony: What's wrong? (He says in a curious tone)
Bruce: Well, there's something that's been on my mind for a few weeks, and I need you to tell me whether I should do it or not.
Tony: I will!
Bruce: Okay! I want to ask Clint to move in with me.
Tony: Are you really sure about doing this?
Bruce: I know that me and Clint have only been together for about a year but I'm really sure I want to ask him to move in with him.
Tony: Then what's stopping you from doing that?
Bruce: I don't know! Maybe I just want to do it at the right time.
Tony: Then that's fine!
Bruce: You're not going to tell me it's not a good idea? (He says in a shocked tone)
Tony: I'm the last person that you should be listening to for any advice when I'm not even sure of how my love life is going to be.
Bruce: It's because of Steve! (He says in understanding tone) You have feelings for him?
Tony was in shock because he didn't think that Bruce knew.
Bruce: Well, I guess I know you too!
Tony: I really thought that none was going to come between me and Pepper!
Bruce: So, you haven't told Steve you have feelings for him?
Tony: I guess I'm not sure if I should! He seems happy!
Bruce: Yes, but don't you need to know whether or not he has feelings for you.
Tony: To be honest why would he feel anything for me when I'm not a great guy!
Bruce: Tony when you work, you're a very busy workaholic who can sometimes be irrational and demanding at times, but there is also this other side of yourself. The person who cares about people and the kind of person that a really kind heart.
Tony: It's just that I'm better doing my work than with really having a relationship with someone. Sometimes I feel like I do put my work first before anything. I think I'm finally realizing that I don't want my job to be more important than anything else.
Bruce: So, are you saying you're finally ready to settle down with someone.
Tony: Yes! I want to be with someone to spend the rest of my life with.
Bruce: Do you think it's still Pepper you want to spend the rest of your life with? Or do you want it to be Steve?
Tony takes a moment thinking who I want.
Bruce: Maybe for now you should just remain single until you make a final decision about who you will want to spend the rest of your life with.
Tony: I think so.
Bruce: You don't have to agree with me Tony!
Tony: I have to do it.
Bruce: The only question is how long you're going to do that for?
Tony: Up to New Year's Eve!
Bruce was shocked by that but thought...
Tony: It won't be easy for me to do but I will have to try at least.
Bruce: Okay! So, where is Loki?
Tony: Headed on his way to San Francisco!
Bruce: That's great news! How long will he be there for?
Tony: A week!
Bruce: Was he ready to go?
Tony: No, because he only found out today from his publisher that he would be going there.
Bruce: So, he didn't even have a chance to come back to pack a bag to take there.
Tony: No! He had to leave right away but at least he took his wallet with him.
Bruce: Okay!
Tony: So, you have plans with Clint later?
Bruce: No! He will be away on a work assignment for weeks!
Tony: You're not okay with that? (He says in a curious tone)
Bruce: I think it's more of being worried that he might not come back because of how dangerous his job can be.
Tony: Then you need to talk to him about that!
Bruce: How do you tell the guy that you love that you worry about him all the time when he's doing his job?
Tony: Bruce, do you want Clint to quit his job?
Bruce: No! I may not like the kind of job profession that he's in, but I have to find some way to not be worried about him all the time.
Tony: Bruce, there's nothing wrong with feeling like that!
Bruce: I know but maybe I should join a support group.
Tony: If you think that would help then give it a try.
Bruce: Yes, I will!
Tony: So, do you want to hang out here tonight or would you rather go back to your apartment?
Bruce: I think I will hang with you for a bit.
Tony: Good! Also, there' something important that I need to discuss with you about.
Bruce: Which is? (He says in a curious tone)
Tony: Would you be okay with Loki using you as a character for his second book?
Bruce thought maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Tony: Don't worry he's going to create you as somebody else.
Bruce: I guess that would be fine.
Tony: Good! So, let's get takeout!
Meanwhile Loki seems not to be okay because he's constantly having a lot of things on his mind. He's so distracted that he doesn't feel like eating the food that was brought for him.
Loki: I hope I can really handle this!
Sometime passes
San Francisco
It is about 3:30 p.m.
Loki seems to be tired when he gets inside his hotel room.
What he doesn't expect to fine is a big gift basket that is left on the table.
He goes to see who it's from.
This is what the note says.
Loki, looking forward to meeting with you.
Silvia Heart
Loki: I haven't even met her and for some reason she decides to send me this huge gift basket with an assortment of different things to pick up.
A moment later his cell phone rings, and he goes to answer it.
Loki: Hello!
Crystal: I just called to ask if you like room accommodations you were given.
Loki: You didn't have to do this! I wouldn't have mind sleeping in a regular room.
Crystal: Well, you will be getting this every time. It's what we do for our new authors.
Loki: Well, okay!
Crystal: So, for the rest of the day do enjoy yourself because starting tomorrow you will begin what's on your schedule.
Loki: I think I may need to take a nap before I do anything.
Crystal: Okay! I will call you if there is anything important that you need to know about.
Loki: Okay! Bye!
Crystal: Bye!
Seconds later the conservation is over.
Meanwhile in New York
It is 6:32 p.m.
Tony and Bruce are just having burgers, fries, and milkshakes.
Bruce: This is fun.
Tony: Yes!
Bruce: So, what are you going to with your time off from work?
Tony: I haven't really thought about it. I guess I will have to figure out what I should want to do.
Bruce: You can do anything you want but make sure it's something you enjoy.
Tony: Like deciding to go see a musical.
Bruce: Those are fun to see. Which one would you pick to see?
Tony: Not sure! Could you suggest something I should consider seeing?
Bruce: How about Wicked?
Tony: Okay!
Bruce: You can't be serious about seeing it? (He says in a shocked tone)
Tony: I am! Besides, having a normal life isn't bad.
Bruce: No!
Tony: Do you want to come with me to see it?
Bruce: It would probably have to be the evening performance.
Tony: I will look into it.
Bruce: You're not going to have Lexie do it for you?
Tony: No!
Bruce: Okay!
Tony: I'm going to make a quick call to Loki to see how he is.
Seconds later he goes to call Loki and on the second ring the phone is answered.
Loki: Hello!
Tony: Hey!
Loki: I don't want to be in San Francisco.
Tony: Do you want me to be there?
Loki: No! I do appreciate you suggesting it to me.
Tony: Its what friends do!
Loki: Yeah! So, what are you doing right now?
Tony: Just hanging out with Bruce!
Loki: That's good!
Tony: Also, I'm going to get tickets for Wicked!
Loki: You're going to see a spin on "Wizard of Oz." (He says in a shocked tone)
Tony: You know the plot about this musical?
Loki: I saw it in LA.
Tony: Then tell me what it's about.
Loki: Instead of it being focused on Dorothy it's focused on the Wicked Witch West's point of view.
Tony: It sounds cool.
Loki: You will like it.
Tony: I will get you a souvenir.
Loki: You don't have to do that.
Tony: I will, and it will be something you won't expect to get.
Loki: Okay! I lied to my publisher about being tired.
Tony: It's okay if you didn't really want to talk to her.
Loki: I know! So, did you look at my new chapters and the character names I created for you and your friends?
Tony: Not yet but maybe I will do that tomorrow.
Loki: Okay! I guess I will have to look over my schedule for tomorrow to see what exactly I will be doing for the day.
Tony: Also, if you feel it gets overwhelming for you then make sure to let them know that.
Loki: Okay! Goodnight!
Tony: Goodnight!
Seconds later the conservation is over.
A few minutes later
Loki begins to look at his schedule for Tuesday.
It says at 9:00 a.m. - Meeting with Silvia Heart in the hotel restaurant.
For 10:00 a.m. - Discussion with Mark Franks about the book
For 12:30 p.m. - Lunch meeting with the staff of Heart Films.
For 2:30 p.m. - A tour of Heart Film Studios.
When Loki sees there is nothing else, he's happy because that means he can whatever he wants to do.
Loki: Maybe I should check the rest of schedule to see what I'm doing so I know ahead of time.
After taking time to go through the entire schedule Loki is thinking the rest of the days are going to be crazy. What have I gotten myself into?
Many hours later
Tuesday, October 8, 2012
San Francisco
The time is 10:05 a.m.
Loki is not up to do anything because all he really wants to do is be in his hotel sleeping right now.
Mark: Loki, are you okay?
Loki: Yes! It's just I didn't expect this would happen right away.
Mark: Loki, do you realize that you've been given a great opportunity which not everyone gets?
Loki: Yes! I just didn't expect that just by writing a couple of chapters for a book would impress people a lot to give me a great opportunity with things.
Mark: Loki, if you weren't very talented then you wouldn't have had this opportunity to be meeting with me today.
Loki: I realize that! It's just when I decided to write "Falling in Love with A Deranged Werewolf," I wanted to make sure it was something that young people would be interested in.
Mark: Well, I think the book is. I also like that this story came to be written because it was inspired by your friend's relationship with a guy that she dated.
Loki: Sometimes there are things you need to use as an idea for a book.
Mark: When you found out that Ms. Heart wanted to make your book into a series, how did you feel about that?
Loki: I guess I was speechless because this is only my first book. I thought this can't be happening because I know sometimes it will take time for anyone to be impressed by something you write.
Mark: That is probably true, but by knowing Crystal personally I trust her when she says she has a new writer that has impressed her.
Loki was speechless and didn't have a response in what to say back.
Mark: Loki, don't worry about everything else that has to come. Just focus on writing the book.
Loki: I want you to know that I take what I do seriously. I expect perfection in what I do and if I fail at it, then I will work at making sure I get it right.
Mark: Well, are you ready to answer questions now?
Loki: Yes!
Mark: Good! First, if you were to be become a bestselling author, how would that make you feel?
Loki: I guess it would make me feel great that I have fans who like my work.
Mark: Let's go on to the next question.
Loki: Okay!
Mark: Have you ever done any work as a writer professionally?
Loki: No!
Mark: Have you ever taken any writing classes?
Loki: No!
Mark: Then how did you become great at writing?
Loki: When I was a young kid, I was fascinated by reading lots of books.
Mark: So, when did you start writing your own stories?
Loki: When I was about six!
Mark: Do you mind telling me what you would write about?
Loki: Not at all! (He says in an honest tone) I would write going on exciting adventures to many places.
Mark: Do you have a favorite story that you liked?
Loki: Yes! I liked when I wrote about taking an adventure to space. I was interested in knowing what was up there. I imagined in my mind what it was like, and what kind of creatures were there.
Mark: Do you believe that aliens exist?
Loki: I believe that there has to be something that exists there.
Mark: Okay! Now, are you in any relationship?
Loki: No!
Mark: Have you ever been in a relationship with someone?
Loki: Yes, but I had to end it because the person I was with wasn't the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Mark: Do you want to one day be in a serious relationship with someone?
Loki: Yes, but for now I just want to be single.
Mark: There is nothing wrong with that.
Loki: Continue on with the questions?
Mark: Okay! If you were successful would that be important to you?
Loki: No! Success is great, but it doesn't bring you happiness.
Mark: So, you believe in happily after endings?
Loki: No, but if I was certain I found the right person that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, then I guess I would finally believe.
Mark: I'm impressed Loki! (He says in an honest tone)
Loki: Impressed by what exactly? (He says in a concerned tone)
Mark: That being successful isn't as important as finding happiness with someone.
Loki: I'm passionate about doing my work, but what matters to me is the people that are in my life.
Mark: All right! Just a couple of more questions to go!
Loki: Okay!
Mark: If you career as an author doesn't become successful what would you do?
Loki: To be honest I haven't really thought about that but maybe I would open my own publishing company.
Mark: That would be a great idea to do but you realize you have to bring in other writers to do that. How would you go about doing that?
Loki: Well, it would be about the message I give. I would say I want writers who have a desire to write and that it could be open to anyone from amateur to advanced writers.
Mark: Okay! Now, for the last question?
Loki: Okay!
Mark: Being that you are a friend to Tony Stark, what kind of person is he?
Loki: You want my honest opinion?
Mark: Yes!
Loki: I'm very lucky to have a great friendship with Tony. He's very supportive of my writing and he's very protective of his friends and family. He is also supportive in giving money to charities and he's very dedicated to his work.
Mark: So, you don't have a problem with him being that other person that he is?
Loki: Do you mean what they say about him in the press? (He says in a concerned tone)
Mark: Yes!
Loki: You must not always believe what the press says about him.
Mark: Are the press lying when he was the guy who liked to party a lot?
Loki: No, but what I will say if you think Tony is really that person then you are wrong.
Mark: So, unless you know him personally then you really don't know who he really is?
Loki: Exactly! (He says in an honest tone)
Mark: Okay! Thanks for doing the interview with me.
Loki: You're welcome!
Sometime passes
It's about 4:30 p.m.
Loki is very thankful to be back in his hotel room, because he's really exhausted from what he had to do for the day. All he wants to do is go take a quick shower and then take a short nap before going out to get something to eat.
Meanwhile in New York
It's about 7:30 p.m.
Tony has just finished feeding Loki's cat when his phone rings seconds later.
On the second ring he answers the phone
Tony: Hello!
Natasha: Hey Tony!
Tony: Hey Natasha! What's up?
Natasha: I wanted to know if you're free to come over for dinner on Friday!
Tony: I am!
Natasha: Are you sure because if you have plans, I don't want you to cancel...
Tony: I'm free!
Natasha: Okay! I'm not sure if I'm going to cook or if I'm just going to get takeout.
Tony: Have you talked to James about this?
Natasha: Yes, and he doesn't mind whether I cook or get takeout.
Tony: Well, he's a really great guy for saying that!
Natasha: Yes, and I'm very lucky to have him.
Tony: Is anyone coming to dinner?
Natasha: Thor isn't sure if Jane can come with him but if she's not he's going to come anyway.
Tony: Okay!
Natasha: Tony, can you ask Loki to come?
Tony: Actually, he went to San Francisco for a week! His publisher has a friend who's interested in his book.
Natasha: That is wonderful news.
Tony: Yes! Also, would you be okay if he used you and James as characters in his second book?
Natasha: I don't think we would mind because he would use fictional names for us.
Tony: Yes, he would!
Natasha: Okay! Oh, come over around 7:00 p.m. on Friday for dinner.
Tony: Okay! Can I bring something?
Natasha: Yes!
Tony: Good! Bye!
Natasha: Bye!
Seconds later the conversation is over.
A few days later
Friday, October 11, 2012
San Francisco
It's about 12 p.m.
Loki is glad that for an hour he can have free time to do what he wants before he has to do an interview with a journalist whose name is Judy Hark.
Meanwhile in New York
The time is 3:00 p.m.
Tony is just sitting on a bench in Central Park watching other people enjoy their time doing things from playing ball or going for a simple jog through the park.
A few minutes later
He is on the phone with Thor.
Tony: Are you okay?
Thor: No! The truth is I'm thinking of breaking up with Jane.
Tony wasn't shocked by the news because to be honest he didn't think they would last long.
Thor: I'm not sure when things between us started to change but I just haven't been happy.
Tony: Are you really sure you want to end things with her?
Thor: Yes! I just I'm not sure how to go about doing it.
Tony: What is stopping you from doing it?
Thor: I guess when I try to do it, the words don't seem to come out.
Tony: Well, maybe you should do it somewhere public.
Thor: I don't think it would be a good idea. I'm not sure how Jane would react.
Tony: Well, maybe it all really comes down to that you don't really want to hurt her
Thor: Yes!
Tony: Thor, I've easily broken hearts, but it was because I didn't love them.
Thor: So, my breakup with Jane doesn't have to go perfect.
Tony: No! Don't go anything as trying to make her dinner or taking her out to dinner? She may think you may want to take the relationship seriously and you don't want that right?
Thor: No!
Tony: So, try practicing in the mirror how to breakup with her and when you feel confident about actually go through with it, then do it.
Thor: Okay! Thanks for listening!
Tony: Okay! Are you coming for dinner at Natasha and James apartment later?
Thor: Yes!
Tony: Good! Bye!
Thor: Bye!
A little time later
San Francisco
It is 1:03 p.m.
Judy: Loki, it is nice to be interviewing you today.
Loki: Thanks! Also, it's nice to be meeting with you today.
Judy: Okay! Let's begin the interview!
Loki: Okay!
Judy: How are you actually feeling about becoming a writer right away?
Loki: I wasn't expecting that I would get Ms. Swan to consider the chapters I had written and I also wasn't expecting that there would be other things that happened along the way.
Judy: How did you go on deciding which audience you wanted to write for?
Loki: I'm not sure exactly! I guess I thought the chapters I submitted for the writing job was directed more at the young readers.
Judy: Well, I agree with you on that! Is your writing just going to be the young readers?
Loki: I don't think so! I would like to write books for the mature readers.
Judy: Would you ever want to write children's books?
Loki: I might if I wanted to try it out at some point.
Judy: Good! Now, are you in a relationship with anyone?
Loki: No! I just ended a relationship with someone who really wasn't the right person.
Judy: So, for the time being you're going to take a break from dating to focus on your writing career?
Loki: No! If I wanted to date someone then it would have to be someone that I like. I also would hope that the person I date would be supportive of my writing career.
Judy: Are you the kind of person who believes in happy endings?
Loki: If you're asking do I believe love happens right away my answer would be no. I don't think love is something that happens right away.
Judy: Do you need to take a break?
Loki: No!
Judy: Do you have any pets?
Loki: Yes! A friend of mine decided to adopt a cat for me.
Judy: Does your cat have a name?
Loki: The name she was given was Grace, but I might change it to something else.
Judy: Do you think you will have a long-standing career as a writer?
Loki: I can't say for certain if that will happen but all I can do is hope the books I write are successful.
Judy: This is the last question.
Loki: Okay!
Judy: Do you know when "How to Fall in Love with a Deranged Werewolf," will be released?
Loki: No, but it should be in the new year of 2013.
Judy: Thanks! I hope we will have more interviews later on!
Loki: I hope so too!
Judy: What have you planned to do after this?
Loki: Nothing!
Judy: Would you mind having lunch with me?
Loki: No!
Judy: We could go anywhere that you want!
Loki: Actually, how about you take me somewhere that you usually go to?
Judy: Are you sure?
Loki: Yes!
Judy: Good! I just need to make a quick call before we head there.
Loki: That's fine! Take as much time as you need!
Judy: Thank you!
A little time later
It's about 1:40 p.m.
Judy and Loki are eating in a park having a talk
Loki: So, you like your career?
Judy: I didn't think it was what I wanted to do when I was younger. I was interested in doing lots of things when I was younger.
Loki: Like what? (He says in a curious tone)
Judy: I liked playing sports, so I thought I would become an athlete somebody. Then I found an interest in dancing and it seemed fun to do, but I didn't realize how much work and dedication was put into becoming a professional dancer.
Loki: So, there had to be some point when you realized you wanted to have a career in journalism.
Judy: I guess it started in high school. I was looking for something new to do and I thought maybe something as being on the school paper would be great to try. I knew because I was just an amateur that I would probably have to work on making what I wrote better, so I asked someone who was else on the paper to let me watch how they worked.
Loki: So, that person was a mentor for you to develop better writing skills.
Judy: Yes! So, the person who helped me was Seth Michaels. He was a sophomore who I liked but he really wasn't interested in me the way that I wanted him to.
Loki: So, you two just became friends?
Judy: Yes, and we still remain friends today!
Loki: So, what was the first article you were assigned to work on?
Judy: I was assigned to work an assignment on the first football game.
Loki: Did you like football?
Judy: Not really, but then I realized sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do and if that mean staying to watch the entire football game to get an article, then I realized that is what I needed to do.
Loki: So, how writing your first article go?
Judy: It was fine but how as good as everyone else wrote theirs.
Loki: So, that mean you had to try again?
Judy: Yes, and that is when Seth told me maybe I should take a writing class.
Loki: By taking the class did it help improve your writing skills?
Judy: Yes, but it took me years to be better at it?
Loki: There's nothing wrong with that!
Judy: Probably not! I just envy writers who have the skill to really write without having to take a class to improve.
Loki: I don't know if that is true for all writers, but there had to be known writers who had to have taken classes to improve.
Judy: I think you're right about that!
Loki: Maybe!
Judy: Okay! How about after we finish eating our lunch, we get dessert afterwards?
Loki: I like the idea of that! I could go for ice cream in an ice cream cone.
Judy: What is your favorite flavor?
Loki: Chocolate mint!
Judy: Mine is Strawberry.
Loki: With toppings or without?
Judy: I love toppings!
Loki: So, do I!
A little more time passes
It is about 2:15 p.m.
Judy realizes she needs to get back to work.
Loki: I really had a nice time with you.
Judy: I did too! Could we exchange numbers so we could hangout before you head home?
Loki: That would be fine!
Then they give each other their cell numbers before they say goodbye and head into different directions.
To Be Continued
For when I will be posting three may be in the new year, but I will promise that I won't have you wait too long to read it. Also, when I start the next chapter, it may take place a week later or more.
