About a week passed and still TJ had no luck in finding Spinelli, He had gotten several calls from girls claiming to be her, but they were all as psychotic as the Psycho Miss Cleo wannabe. He was discussing his latest dating woes with his friends as they sat around the living room watching TRL.
"It really whomps man, I mean, how many more of these psycho women am I going to have to date before I find Spinelli, that is if I find her?" TJ asked, taking a sip of Pepsi.
"Well, I don't know man," Hustler Kid started to answer but he was interrupted by a scream from Mikey.
"Oh, my gosh, quiet everyone! Enrique Iglesias is on TV!!! He's my music hero!" Mikey cried out jumping off the couch so he could be closer to the TV. He watched in awe as Carson Daly (A/N: I have no idea who hosts it now) interviewed him. TJ rolled his eyes at his friend who was glued to the TV screen, letting out an occasional squeal as Enrique discussed the future of his career.
"No, he can't go on break!" Mikey yelled as he fell to the floor in disappointment.
"Dude, he's taking a couple months off to spend time with his family, get over it!" Vince said, a little annoyed with his friend's dramatics.
"But he's my musical hero! He's the reason I want to make it in the music business!" Mikey yelled as he stormed out of the room and locked himself in the bathroom.
"Man, talk about being a little over dramatic," Hustler Kid said with a laugh as the phone rang.
Vince leaned over and grabbed the phone, which was hiding in a bowl of potato chips. "This is V-to the-I-to the-N-to the-C-to the-E and this is the place to be!" he rapped into the phone. "Menlo? How the hell are you?" He covered the phone with his hand and whispered "You guys, its Menlo!"
"Thank you King of Stating the Obvious!" Hustler Kid said, rolling his eyes, "Like we couldn't tell when you said Hi Menlo!"
Vince threw a TV Guide at Hustler Kid and continued to listen to Menlo ramble. "OK, so you want to interview him? About his campaign to find her? Why would you---I mean, you hated him...ok let me ask him." Vince once again covered the phone and turned to TJ. "OK, Teej, Menlo wants to interview you about your quest to find Spinelli. You up for it?"
"Hell, no. No way!" TJ declared. "Menlo hates me and probably has an ulterior motive for wanting to do this. No way, no interview."
"But TJ, it could speed up the process in you finding Spinelli. This can really make it happen. Menlo can write a great story and Spinelli will read it, find you and you two will live happily ever after."
"Yeah, TJ think about it, and the whole world will finally forget you as the guy who was too afraid to take a chance." Hustler Kid added.
"Fine, I'll do the stupid interview!" TJ agreed as Vince handed the phone over to him so the interview process could begin.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The next day at work, TJ noticed that people were acting strangely, nudging each other and smiling as he walked by. Shrugging, TJ walked into his cubicle, where Peter was waiting.
"Way to go Romeo," he cried, making kissy faces and patting TJ on the back. (A/N: for some reason, this scene is so funny to me)
"What the—"TJ began as he looked down at his desk, where the morning paper was waiting for him. On the front page in a little corner was his old high school yearbook picture and a headline that stated 'Train Boy Seeks Commuter Partner.' TJ realized that everyone at work had probably read the article and now knew about his quest to find Spinelli. Damn, why in the world did he have to do that stupid interview?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"Because you are on the quest for true love!" Hustler Kid answered him later that afternoon as they watched they Yankees play a local Major League team. (Pretend Arkansas has one and they are playing at an Arkansas field, because I have no idea if one really exists)
"Yeah, man" Mikey said sitting down next to him with a tray if food.
"I know, but this is all too weird, Menlo suddenly trying to help me and everything. I mean, how do I know he doesn't have some kind of odd motive to get back at me after all these years?"
"And how do we know seeing Spinelli wasn't some sort of odd dream or some other girl that was a part of your imagination? Like thinking you see J.Lo and approaching her and finding out it's Olive Oyl or something."
"And as usual, Vince, I have no clue what you are trying to say," TJ rolled his eyes. "And keep it down, I don't want people here knowing I'm the guy who---"
"What the train guy?" Mikey yelled a bit too loudly.
"Oh, you're the sweet guy looking for his soulmate he met on the train!" some random lady from behind them cooed. "I have a daughter if things don't work out."
"I'll be interested in meeting her," Vince volunteered through a mouthful of popcorn. The lady looked at him in disgust and turned her attention back to the game.
"Man Vince, be quiet!" TJ hissed, not wanting to cause any more attention to himself. He had enough to deal with as it was, between random psychotic girls sending him letters and calling him for dates, problems with Ashley B. at work and wondering if Spinelli really wanted to see him again, the last thing he needed was Vince's immaturity to make the situation worse. He only wished that he would get some sort of sign that things were going to work out, that he would finally be reunited with the girl he had secretly loved since fourth grade.
"Hey look, we're on camera!" Hustler Kid shouted, pointing to the camera that was panning the audience and waving.
And little did he know that in a small apartment in another part of Arkansas, Spinelli was watching the game TJ was at with her roommate, wishing the same thing, turning away from the TV just in time to miss TJ looking at the camera smiling and goofing off with his friends.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
A/N: Sorry this chapter is a bit confusing, but I am trying to combine a couple of scenes because otherwise the chapters would only be about 100 words long. Anyway, what do you think is going to happen next? What is Menlo's plan? Will Spinelli ever answer TJ's ad? Will they ever meet? Will TJ meet any more psychotic Spinelli impostors? To find out, keep reading! Leave a nice (as in respectful—oh, heck you know what I mean by now) review and I will keep supplying you with more chapters!! (jeez, I really sound like a hustler there, no wonder my friend calls me Hustler Girl, lol!) Happy reading!
Damson rhee: I hope she does too, but you gotta stay tuned to see if she does!!!
