Typewriter -- Chapter 2

What happened?

Tohru had just left and Nook was bustling about changing items and sweeping up dirt that the days customer had tracked in so that everything would be ready for tomorrow. He had passed it a dozen times, but when he was sweeping, he noticed a piece of folded paper addressed to him on the floor. He picked it up, curious as to what it might be, and unfolded it slowly. He could tell even before he read it that it was from one of his young sons. 'hmm... Tommy probably dropped it while he ran in, meaning to give it to me.' he though to himself as he finish unfolding the note. He read it through turning paler and paler every sentence he read. By the end he had dropped the paper on the floor. He left it there and ran to the train station to buy a ticket to his home.

"Excuse me mister! I need a to buy a ticket Hello!" He said knocking on the bars of the ticket booth, trying to awake the brown haired man inside. The man just glared at him, jabbed at the closed sign and closed his eyes again. "BUT I NEED A TICKET! THE TRAINS RUN ALL NIGHT! JUST SELL ME ON AND I WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE!" He shouted in his loudest voice. The worker in the booth replied in a horse, tired voice, "No ticket until Ten A.M. Go. Away." With that he pulled down the soundproof plastic window and went back to sleep.

Nook stomped off grumbling all the way. "Hmmph no ticket until morning NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON BACK AT HOME!" He ended yelling out in frustration. He yanked open the trap door to his basement and threw himself onto the air bed down there. "What happened to her.." Was his last though before he fell asleep.

Hana sat at the old typewriter on her tea table typing up a paper that Joel had requested. "He has no cares how little we all sleep as long as he gets the information that he need for this "Project" ... Stupid Tightwad." she said to the darkness clicking away on the old keys, unsticking a few that would get stuck together every once and a while.

She clicked away for a little while until she realized something. "I listen to him all the time but why? What can he possibly do to me? Why do I listen? Because I always do? Well tomorrow that is it. Tomorrow I am doing whatever I want to. Including meeting up with that Tohru and NOT finishing this paper!" With that she pushed away the typewriter and crawled into her bed with her The Nightmare Before Christmas sheets. She then let her thoughts slowly lull her to sleep.

Joel was sitting on his roof, retyping all the papers he collected that day. It was already 1 A.M. and he had not even finished one paper. "Hmm this is not good. This wasted time will greatly put the 'project' on hold... And it is already way later than it was supposed to be.

He stared off into the night for a little while, and happened to notice the light in Hana's house go off. 'Wow she is finished with that report already? That puts me to shame not even finished with my retyping. Next time I will make her assignments longer if she can work so fast. As for myself... I will have to work faster...' He thought to himself as he started to type at his fullest speed.

"I can't let myself get distracted.

Tohru was tossing and turning in her sleep. She was being haunted by dreams of the day she was kicked out of her house by her mom and forced to move here into the small box of a house she was currently in sleeping on the cold hard floor...

-HerDreams-

"Again! Again you are failing those subjects! I can't take it anymore! If you don't want to try then fine! You can move out and take care of yourself because I am not putting up with your crap anymore!

"FINE THEN I WILL! THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO SEE ME EVER AGAIN! YOU WILL SEE! I WILL LIVE BY MYSELF!"

"FINE THEN GO!"

"FINE!" Tohru ran around her room throwing a few of her things into a suitcase and grabbing the extremely flat bag of bells that she was given from her 'caring' mother for her birthday. She slammed the suitcase shut and boarded the train that would take her to Larnet. Never even looking back at her former home.

-EndDream- Tohru sat up suddenly, shaking. "Figures that I would dream of THAT my first night here..." she grumbled to herself. She squinted through the tiny cracked window of her box of a home, trying to see the clock on the front of the station. 'bleh... it is only 3:45... And no way I am going to sleep again.' she thought to herself. Sighing, she pulled a faded book toward her that came with the house and pulled a stubby pencil from her small suitcase. She began to write a song describing her experience so vaguely that only her and a possible few back in her hometown would understand all the feeling in it. She continued to write song after song, straying from her original topic, and going to topics that slowly, one by one, started to describe her life.
