A/N: here I am writing this after a very odd night.....wow I think I am
scarred for life ::shudders at mere thought of the night:: anyway, yeah,
enough of my screwed up life.....and onto the notes to my readers......
Clintronic Waldrop: Thank you! I think the movie was cute, which is why I'm writing this, although I can see your friends' point on the acting thing. Hope you keep reading!
Depressed Sweden-Lover: lol, that is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. I had to look up the presidents, even though I should know them because I am a political science major, but then again I'm focused on pre- law. I feel bad for TJ too, and I hope you keep reading!
Mistress of Balmoral: He did! It must be odd, and I would die too if that happened to me! Stay tuned!
LilVickiRyan: Thanks! I hope so too! Stay tuned!
Damson rhee: Thank you! And he is for that, hehe. Let's hope he smartens up! keep reading!
LockDown: Hehehe, pansy is a bit harsh (considering what we consider one in America)but I kinda see your point. Lol, I love Uptown Girl, I grew up on Billy Joel, which is why I added it to they story, rather than having him sing Al Green like the guy in the movie did. And yay, you're alive! The poem, that's actually a TV theme song my friend added to my signature for some unknown reason, but I am glad you liked it. keep reading!
SammyKay: Thank you! I'm glad you like it and hope you enjoy the rest! MARVELOUS!

A couple days later, TJ and his friends sat in a local bar, listening to Mikey sing. Mikey was in a band and was determined to make it big in the music business, so they took every opportunity to perform, in hopes that they would get discovered.
"So let me get this straight," Vince said as TJ told him and Hustler Kid the story. "You finally see Spinelli after all these years, she's looking hot and flirting with you, she gets up to leave, you follow her and keep talking, and when it's time for her to go, you say what?"
"I said it was a pleasure commuting with you," TJ admitted, letting his head fall into his hands and wishing that he hadn't said anything at all.
"It was a pleasure commuting with you?!?!" Vince sputtered, unable to suppress his laughter. "And that's it? No phone number, no place of business, no address, no email, no nothing? What the hell is wrong with you? You see your best friend that you had a crush on after thirteen years of not speaking, the girl who was your first kiss, for crying out loud, and you do nothing to make sure you see her again?"
"OK" TJ admitted, looking up. "I tanked."
"Again?" Hustler Kid said, looking up from the paper he was reading.
"Man you need help," Vince told him, rolling his eyes as they continued to watch Mikey perform.
"I know," TJ said dejectedly as they joined in the applause the crowd gave Mikey and his band. Mikey smiled as he walked to the trio and joined them.
"Nice performance," Vince complemented him with a grin.
"Are you kidding me? We stank!" Mikey complained as he ordered a beer. "We are never going to get anywhere at the rate we are going!" Mikey frowned and pointed to TJ. "This is all your fault, if you hadn't quit, we would have made it big by now!"
"Mikey, it was a high school band. I grew up and got a career. Get over it!" TJ said tiredly, bracing himself for more of Mikey's dramatics.
"And so goes the oldest argument in history," Hustler Kid said, rolling his eyes at his friends.
But it was the best band ever!" Vince and Mikey cried, exchanging a high five and reminiscing over the good times the band had.
"Girls, gigs and more girls!" Vince remembered with a smile. "Life was good back then."
Hustler Kid rolled his eyes as he continued to read his newspaper. At that moment, Vince grabbed the paper and stared at the cover, noticing a familiar name.
"Oh, my gosh, Menlo writes for the Globe? Dude!" Vince stared at the article Menlo wrote in amazement.
"You didn't know that? Oh yeah, I forgot, you only read the comics," Hustler Kid said sarcastically.
"Hey, the comics are cool!" Vince defended himself.
"Anyone remember that time in high school when Menlo got pissed off at TJ for taking Swinger Girl to the prom?" Mikey asked, laughing at the memory.
"We went as friends, it isn't my fault Menlo had a crush on her!" TJ reminded them, not wanting to remember the incident with Menlo. (A/N: remember this part with Menlo)
"OK,OK, we believe you, but I think that was the first and last time you were with a girl and didn't chicken out." Mikey told him with a laugh.
"Whatever, I'm going to get another beer," TJ got up and walked over to the bar, Hustler Kid following him.
"Don't listen to them," Hustler Kid assured him. "Just because they both hook up with a different girl every week doesn't mean you have to. You are just shy. It's ok, one day you will meet someone and be as happy as Gretchen and Gus ended up,"
"I guess so," TJ said sighing. "It's just that I saw Spinelli and I just fell in love with her, just by talking to her. She is so incredible, man. And me being chicken made me lose my golden opportunity to finally be with her! It is so sad that I am the guy that always chokes."
"Nah, it's not like everyone knows you as the guy who is chicken when it comes to girls," Hustler Kid assured him, patting him on the back.
At that moment, Mikey reentered the stage and spoke into the microphone. "TJ, my friend, this one's for you." Mikey smiled at the audience and began to sing lyrics that hit close to home for TJ.
"He didn't get her number, he didn't get her number, because TJ crapped out on his own...." Mikey crooned as the audience laughed and stared at TJ. (this is what the guy sang in the movie)
Hustler Kid smiled sympathetically. "Now everyone knows, you wanna go?"
"Please and thank you," TJ said, paying for his beer and walking out of the bar.
"You can still find her, you know," Hustler Kid told TJ as they walked through town.
"How, by placing an ad in the paper?" TJ said sarcastically. "Hi Spinelli, this is a guy who has liked you since fourth grade, secretly wished to hook up with you for years and is sorry he missed his golden opportunity to rekindle what could have been? Yeah right dude! It's not like she even realizes it was me! She probably thinks of me as this nice guy who she talked to on the train. No way she even knows! She probably doesn't even remember me!"
"All I'm saying is that you should try and find her. you never know where this might lead to," Hustler Kid said. "Just at least think about it, ok?"
"Sure, sure," TJ said, rolling his eyes as they continued to walk back to their apartment.

A/N: so TJ's friends think he's chicken! HK has a plan! Will TJ listen, or will he let this golden opportunity pass him by? Does Spinelli even realize she ran into TJ? Read to find out! Please R?R, but remember my golden rule while doing so! Happy reading!
