DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN Dark Angel and cause FOX don't
want it any more, no one does. However credit should be given to CAMERON
and EGLEE for the Quality Television they gave us for Two Seasons and the
DARK ANGEL Creative Team for shaping the characters which I and many other's
accepted and loved as our very own. Thankyou so much for that and hopefully
(if it is at all possible), we may be able to see Dark Angel again.
A/N: References to Avril Lavigne have not been used by
permission however since I am not profiting from this story I don't believe
a lawsuit is necessary. 'Tomorrow' is the work of Avril Lavigne, Curt Frasca
(writer and producer) and Sabelle Breer. I'm a big fan!

Night came and it was yet another night of partying down at Crash, however for the very first time it was Jondy who walked in and took all eyes of Max. Jondy had cleaned up very well in a pair of brown suede pants, which clung just loosely around Jondy's athletically skinny legs and a high neck puffy top that was sleeveless and exposed Jondy's smooth skin. Her hair was also styled into a French twist and she wore her make-up natural, a shiny glint evident on her checks.
Sitting up at the bar temporarily with Max, Jondy ordered a beer and turned to survey the club. A dark coloured interior, the club that could be loosely called a pub as its frequenters were all young and were all tired from working hard days. Kicking back was the obvious theme of the place so Jondy tried to blend in.
Playing on the radio was a song by Avril Lavigne called 'Unwanted', and Jondy knew the song of by heart. Miming the lyrics, she finished her first beer and began engaging in casual conversation with a guy at the bar who was obviously trying to hit on her. Gradually however, the conversation fizzled into silence and Jondy moved over to a table she saw was vacant and Max joined her later with Original Cindy who began chatting.
The next song came on and it was Avril again. It was the song titled 'Tomorrow' which Jondy remembered as being the next album track.
Jondy found herself yet again miming the lyrics and then singing, silently of course to herself and she found herself lifting even though the lyrics were of lamenting.
I don't know how I'll feel, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. I don't know what to say, Tomorrow, Tomorrow is a different day.
"Jondy, do you want to come play some pool. I really want to show you my stuff on my home turf cause last time we played you had home team advantage!" Max got up and presented Jondy with a pool stick.
"Oh, you reckon that's you excuse for losing to me!" Jondy announced accepting the pool stick handed to her.
"Plus, I want to prepare you for the ever pig headed Alec
who will be here shortly!"
Original Cindy ordered the balls together and then she
left, Max informing Jondy that Cindy had just spotted a possible 'lickety
chick'. Jondy broke and the game was under way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jondy won, and for her win Max treated them to their next pitcher of beer. Asha later joined them tentatively after an invitation by Max and she looked around tentatively trying badly to subtly look for someone. Jondy assumed it was Alec.
And then he arrived, walking in with Sketchy and they immediately headed for the bar. Jondy couldn't help but admire Alec who just like the rest of them from Manticore had impeccably perfect features. He was leant over the bar talking to the barman who was joking with Alec and Sketchy like they were the best of pals kicking back without a care in the world. This was so attractive for Jondy who found herself becoming a little nervous when Alec and Sketchy eventually came to sit with them.
"Okay which one of you fine ladies would like to play a game of pool with the current master of the ring." Alec propositioned the group who had been giggling like high school girls as Cindy had just finished telling them about her latest squeeze.
"Monty, I think you may have to play the newest competitor who is the king of this table after beating me." Max said and Jondy almost felt herself blush at the though of playing pool with Alec.
"Well well, no offence but that ain't no mean feat beating Max so I'm more then willing to play 'the rookie'!" Alec said walking over to the pool table with a walk, which Jondy could only compare to a professional footballer having a spar with a component on the field.
"Rookie! Who do you think you are calling me a rookie! I'll prove to you cocky boy that I ain't no rookie!" Jondy got of her seat and the rest of the gang all laughed, pleased at Jondy and they circled themselves around the pool table.
"Heeyyyyy! Rack em!"
