Disclaimer: Wow.I dunno what to say here.This is a bit of a continuation of Last Thing on my Mind.takes place after.I seem to not be able to write anything lately that's not a song fic.I apologize to those who don't like them.im sorry.inspiration is lacking right now.-_- (gomen ne) the song for the day is "So Impossible" by Dashboard Confessional.I don't own anything...not even my soul-I sold it to my school to pay for tuition.-_- oh wait! I own Sparrow.yea! (im gonna try to make this a little more IC then its prequel, but I don't think anyone besides J.V. can make the characters COMPLETELY IC.after all.he knows them better than anyone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

Nny walked down the street, the sound of his black leather boots hitting the pavement the only sound in the endless night (a/n.: ooooo poetic.-_-). Its had been five months since he had last seen Devi.and she had rejected him.yet again. The ring he had kept, still in its small velvet box.never touched.never worn. He didn't know why he kept it. He liked to believe it was a reminder not to trust his emotions anymore-he had returned to his quest of achieving unemotionalism (a/n: I don't think that's a word.-_-), this time from his home. He lacked the energy to drive anymore. It was too lonely on the road, with only the radio and the reflectors on the pavement to keep him company-it allowed his mind to wander too much.it allowed him to think and to feel and to dream..he didn't want to dream anymore.every time he did, it hurt.

He entered the 24/7, the automatic doors opening with a "whoosh". The girl behind the counter looked up from the book she was reading and smiled a greeting.

"Hi! Right on time!"

Nny looked confused, "What do you mean, I'm on time? For what?"

The girl blushed a little, and closed her book, dog-earing the page she was reading, "You come in here every night at the same time: 2:15 AM. The brainfreezy machine is always turned off, and you ask me to turn it on-I do so-even though its against the rules, but I know what its like to be disappointed over brain freezies.they're really yummy-anyhow, you thank me, pick "Cherry Doom" flavored, pay and leave. Every night. Its routine for me. You're the only customer I have all shift." She giggled as she realized the expression on Nny's face: he had one eye bulging and the other normal size. She wondered how he did it. "By the way: I decided to eliminate a step tonight-the machine is already on."

Nny snapped out of his little brain shut down, and gave a weak little smile. "Thank you-that's.that's really nice of you." He unconsciously looked her up and down-she was shorter than him; about 5'4" with choppy brown hair with purple and blond streaks, and hazel eyes that seemed very large behind her black "emo-specks". He realized he was staring at her and blushed a little and make his way to the machine.

He filled his cup and made his way to the counter.

The girl smiled, and rang up his order. "By the way-my name is Sparrow" She pointed to her name tag. "That will be $3.50"

Nny handed her a five, "I'm Johnny, but you can call me Nny for short."

"Nny.that's an interesting name. Your change is $1.50."

"Thank you." Nny answered, taking the change. He turned and began to leave.

Sparrow swallowed her pride and prepared to embarrass herself thoroughly, "Nny!" she called after him.

He turned, "What?"

*So she says "Everyone's going to the party, won't you come if I come with a friend for your friend? I'd be so pleased to see you out of the classroom wearing the smile that I'll bring you*

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "AfriendofmineishavingapartyandIwantedtoknowifyouwantedtogoifyouhavenothinge lseplannedotmarrownight." She said. Really fast. Nny blinked. "Uhh..say that again?"

Sparrow blushed, "Sorry.I talk fast when Im nervous.Would you like to, if you don't have anything else planned, which you probably do, go to a party with me tomorrow night?"

*I was hoping to learn a few things like.. Do you do you like dishing the dirt on the whole class & talking the big smack & playing the fool*

Nny looked a little shocked. Had she really just asked him out? To a party? Is this a joke?

*& wearing all of the latest fashions or fucking the new trends wearing your old threads.*

Sparrow closed her eyes and sighed, "Never mind.I was silly to ask you.forget it."

"No! I was just a little shocked! I wasn't expecting that..but.Im not really a.party.person."

*If you like coffee in the evening. These are a few things that I'd like to know that I'd like to know"*

"Oh.well the party is really just kinda an excuse.I just would really like to get to know you a little...you seem like an interesting person."She trailed off.

Nny didn't know what to do.on one hand he *was* interested in this girl, even tho his better judgment was screaming in the back of his head that he was supposed to not have any feelings.but he hated parties.and people.but.she did turn on the freezy machine.

*So I said... "I've been scheduled to work but I'll call in and my friend isn't busy he'd be happy to join me and maybe my friend and your friend will hit it off or maybe we will?"*

"How about we go out for coffee instead?" He asked. Something inside him cringed, knowing this was going against all he worked so hard for.he was going in reverse. The rest of him didn't really care at this point; the rest of him got a strange warm feeling when he saw her smile.

*I'm dying to know do you do you like dreaming of things so impossible or only the practical or ever the wild or waiting through all your bad bad days just to end them with someone you care about*

"Alright.ummm.wanna meet here? Around 11?"

*and do you like making out and long drives and brown eyes and guys that just don't quite fit in yeah do you like them*

"Alright." He gave her a little wave and walked out of the establishment. She waited until he was out the door and then gave a little happy squeal, jumping up and down.

*So yes, I'll see you there.*
