Suddenly Amanda's mind was like a video she saw her whole 'Sara life' start to play in her head. She remembered the day that started it all. She remembered it well.

It was September of 1973, second year of college, which was located right by a beach. Sara Thomas, age 19, had long brown, straight hair, a slim figure, and with curves in all the right places. She and her best friend Ann Walker, also age 19, who was a little shorter then Sara, with blonde hair, blue eyes, were walking down the street to a restaurant that they were to be eating at that night, when they saw Ann's boyfriend Robbie. Robbie was 22, almost 23, in his senior year at college. He was about 6 foot even; he had short and thin blonde hair, with blue eyes, and very well built. He was Captain of the college Soccer team and he and Ann were going out since he was in 12th grade.

"Robbie!" Ann exclaimed, ran up to him and kissed him. "Did you bring him?"

Sara was surprised to even see Robbie, considering that Friday nights was the girls night out, but she really wanted to know who 'him' was, "Bring who?"

"Yup." Robbie said answering Ann's question and kissed her.

"Apparently you guys are ignoring my question, so I'll ask again. Bring WHO!?" Sara said a little impatient.

Robbie finally answered her, "My friend Lee."

Sara shook her head, "No," shaking her head some more, "No! ANN you did NOT just do what I think you did."

Ann gave Sara an innocent smile, "Do what, Sara?"

"Don't you dare give me that innocent smile Ann. It's not going to work this time!"

"Oh come on Sara, you've been here for almost two years and you have not had a boyfriend yet," she paused and then said, "In fact you haven't even spoken to a boy," Sara opened her mouth to say something when Ann cut her off, "And Robbie does not count."

Sara got mad and stomped her foot, "So you think a blind date is going to HELP me!?"

Ann and Robbie said together, "Exactly."

Robbie continued, "Come on Sara, give him a chance. Just one chance, one date, one conversation that's all we are asking for."

Sara sighed and said, "Fine, just this once. I am very capable of getting my own boyfriend."

Robbie and Ann said together, "Of course you are." And the three of them walked into the restaurant.

"So where is he?" Sara asked.

Robbie looked around and saw Lee. He stood up to show them where he was, "Right there," Robbie said.

Sara looked at the man and just stared. He was about 6 feet tall, if not taller, shaggy brown hair, and ruggedly handsome. Sara grabbed Ann's arm and pulled her away.

"Sara, what's wrong?"

"That's the guy that you set me up with?!"

"Yeah," Ann said not knowing what the problem was, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" She asked trying not to make a scene. "Did you take a look at him?"

"Yeah, he's cute."

"Cute? Ann he's gorgeous! He's... oh my God! He's just so hot!"

"Well, I'm glad. So what," Saying this all so very slowly, "Is the problem?"

"Are you really that dense?" Ann just looked at her with a confused look on her face. "What is someone like him going to see in someone like me?"

"Damn it all girl! Was that it!?"

"That it? I've had two boyfriends in high school and in each relationship I barely made it to first base. But he... he's...

"Cuter then the others?" Ann finished for her.

"And he looks so... so... yummy." Sara said a little excited and licked her lips.

"Okay girl calm down. Look, he's seen you around the school and when we talked to him, he agreed to meet you."

"How come I've never seen him before?"

"Because you only look at Jeremy," she said with a little dreamy look.

"Okay, okay. I get the picture," A big grin appeared on her face, "Now let's get back to that table."

"That a girl!" And the two went back to the table.
