The 24/7 came into Nny's view as he approached it, but that wasn't the only thing he spotted. Parked in it's lot was a medium sized U- Haul-it with the drivers window rolled half down. "Great.......another ignorant person to add on to my further misery......" he muttered, walking up to the van.
Looking in the window, he noticed a little small, little girl curled up in a fluffy blanket fast asleep. Shrugging his shoulders, he walked into the store and was hit by a wave of cold air as the door opened. The cashier was lazily tapping his fingers on the counter, and Nny stared at the clock just behind him. It read 2:15 as he made his way towards the Brain-Freezy machine.
Pulling the Cherry Doom lever down, it made a FZZT sound but nothing came out. Remembering that the machine turned off at 2, he sighed in despair. Suddenly, he heard something hit the machine and turned around noticing a girl in her middle 20's kicking its side.
Her hair was pitch black, and was put back in one long braid. She was very pale, and her clothes consisted of a red and black plaid skirt with a white tank-top. What he like most about her though, was her huge, leather knee-high military-style boots. He stared at her curiously, wondering why she kicked his Freezy machine until it all of a sudden started spewing out the Cherry Doom.
Smirking, she placed a cup underneath the lever until it was full and gave it to him. "If you give it a good kick, it'll turn back on," she said turning around. Nny held the cup and stared at her with a raised eyebrow. "Thanks.......I guess."
Grabbing a bag of Pop-Rocks, she smiled. "No problem, I hate it when that happens to me." Walking up to the counter, the cashier scanned her item and she gave him her money. The door opened and the same kid he saw in the van wiped her honey eyes tiredly, dragging the blanket behind her. She was very thin, and her dark hair mixed well with her tan skin.
She walked up to the woman and tugged at her skirt. "Mommy......I'm scared of.....of.....I'm scared of the dark." Smiling, she scooped the kid up in her arms and gave her a big hug. "It's ok, we'll be in the house soon." Turning to the cashier, she sighed. "Excuse me, do you know where 775 is in this neighborhood?"
The guy behind the counter muttered something about how he didn't care, and Nny walked up to her. "That's right next door to my house, usually I don't do this but because you went out of your way for me, I can show you where it is."
Holding out her free hand to him, her smile lifted up more. "Thank you, me and Jen's been driving around this town for hours. Oh, by the way my name's Illana!" Barely touching her, he shook her hand. "My name's Johnny C., but since you're moving in next door, you can call me Nny."
Walking out of the store, the cashier yelled at Nny for not paying but was to lazy to move. Illana set the kid down and she walked up to him. Cracking a tired smile, she stared up at him and very politely gave a curtousy with her lavender dress. "Hi Mr. Nny-person, my name's Jenny." Giggling for a moment, she looked up at him with a playful expression. "Hey! Did you know......did ya know that both our name's end with Nny?"
Johnny, not being the most experienced with kids just shrugged his shoulders. "Yea, uh, cool huh?" She smiled happily and jumped in the truck. "You can call me Jen! That's what my mommy calls me!" He nodded, and walked up to Illana. "Listen, I walked here so......"
"You need a ride?" she asked, and motioned for him to sit in the middle. Cautiously, he slowly got in. "Why are you being so nice to me?" Sitting next to him and shutting the door, she started the van. "Well, I believe in the term 'treat people how you want to be treated,' because karma can sneak behind you and bite your ass off."
Nny chuckled to himself, thinking that maybe these people wouldn't be THAT big of a nuisance to him. -------------------------------
A/N: Well, hoped you like this chapter. Actually, I was going to going to introduce Illana and Jen in a totally different way, but oh well this was one of those spur-of-the-moment things. Sorry, but I just had to have her share my whole "karma" outlook, cuz it's true that you get what you give. Heh, yea I should know. **smirks** Any-whoo, thankies to the people who said my story didn't suck and stoof. Mmm, yep. R&R please. Oh, and I apologize if Nny is a bit OOC but he is shocked that Illana 'helped' him of her own free will. C'mon, you'd be shocked if you met someone not ignorant. Don't lie, I know you would.
