Travis turns off the lights and heads towards Mickey's.

She sounds so good on the phone.  I hope she's interested in me as more than a friend.  I guess I'll find out today.

 I won't be shy.  I'm going to ask her out. I can do it.

Giving himself a pep talk made him walk faster. He was at Mickey's in no time.  When he walked in he spotted her over by the counter on the line. 

"Hey" he says walking up behind her.

"Mmm hey" she coos.  Everything she says sounds sexy and playful.  Travis loves just to hear her voice.  As he looks around the room he spots something new.  It's the RFR t-shirts. Turns out Mickey's is selling them.

"So this is who's selling RFR shirts?"

"Yea they're the greatest. I love RFR and the shirts are so cute and a great way to show solidarity with RFR. Fight the power of cougar radio!"

"You like RFR?"

"Of course. Who doesn't? It's definitely better than Cougar Radio.  And they play great music"

"Yea I like them too."

"I'm sorry we're sold out of Question Mark shirts and Shady Lane shirts" Mickey says to a near by customer.

"Wow, they're selling really good. I'm surprised" Travis comments.

"I'm not I bought two. Anyways you ready to go."

"Sure you lead the way" As they walk to Sam's house they talk about music and politics arguing a little while poking fun at it.

"Here we are" Sam says as she goes through her bag looking for her keys.  It's a small ranch house with nicely groomed lawn and big trees in the yard.  She opens the door "Take a seat over there." She points towards the living room and locks the door. "I'll be right back" she says as she runs to down the hall.  Travis looks around the room the house is very modern looking with leather couches and sleek furniture.   With the color scheme of Black and Beige it's the room and official, comfortable and sexy look.  She comes back into the room stripped of her makeup and black outfit she was wearing when they arrived.  With no makeup on and just a loosely fitted white tank top and baggy gray sweat pants she appears before him again. Travis looks at her and sees how pretty she is naturally.  He watches her figure as she walks around the room. 

She's so pretty.  She like a comfortable figure.

She puts a sketch pad and some markers and colored pencils on the table and sits Indian style on the couch and puts her hair in a pony tail.  "So you got any ideas?" she asks.

"I think I do.  Stand up again let me look at you."

"What? Why?"

"Just trust me, ok?" He says and she stands up. "Perfect"

"What?"

"Do you have a sheet of plastic, like the ones you put on the cover of your book reports and a picture of yourself?"

"Yea"

"Can I use your computer?"

"Yea. Are you going to tell me what it is or what?!"

"Ok" As Travis tells her his idea she looks down and blushes.  The thought of being the center of the project is a little heavy for her being the new girl in school and all.

"Ok only if you're in it too."

"I don't have any pictures of myself"

"So, we'll take one together. I'll get my camera" she runs off before Travis has a chance to protest. She returns fumbling with her camera a little bit.

"Ok but who's going to take the picture?" Travis says trying to get out of it.

"My brother"

"Your brother's here?"

"Yea he's sleeping" turning around she begins to yell "Hey stupid wake up! Come here and make yourself useful" Travis shocked takes a step back.

"No!" a voice replies from the back of the house.

"Come on your up now, you might as well come help me!" Travis here's heavy footsteps that eventually make there way towards him.

"Mike this is Travis, Travis this is Mike"

"Hi"

"Hi"

"O man what am I thinking I can't take a picture like this! I'll be right back" She runs off leaving Travis and her brother alone in the room.  And her brother is looking a bit angry.
