It Goes Where?

Atem couldn't believe what he was looking at. Not only was a girl here, but a good looking one too! Most women who stopped by were either unfortunate looking, or Jou's love interest, Mai Valentine.
Weird combination to say the least.
Now brown locks and a curvy body met his eyes. He wandered what her eyes looked like……
"Hey man, shouldn't we, ya know, help out or sometin'?" Jou stated the obvious.
"I do believe we should." Atem replied with a confident smirk on his face.
This should get interesting.
'Stupid piece of crap!' was all Anzu had to say about the "device" she now glared furiously at.
About ten or so times now she had tired and failed to work the contraption, but every time she thought she had it going, the coil would recoil back and brak from the handle. What was worse was her ankle. Why hadn't she listened to her friends' advice and changed shoes?
Flashback
Anzu had just completed the first routine across the floor with ease. Her studio had just been redone with new floors and windows, so it was exciting to try it out.
"Hey Anzu, do you really think you should be doing turns with those on?" her best friend Serenity asked while pointing to her feet.
Anzu looked down at her shoes that adorned her feet. They were her older pair of dance shoes from a year ago, so the grip was virtually gone beneath them. But since she was in a rush this morning she figured they would hold on for one class.
"Stop worrying about me Ren, they'll last for the last half hour, okay?" Anzu replied with a small smile of reassurance.
"I, know, but these floors are new and-"
"Oh, stop, honestly you worry too much." Anzu interrupted rolling her eyes lightly. "Besides, what's the worst that could happen?"
Next combination across the floor was leaping with spread eagles, and on her way down to finish the routine with a turn, Anzu slid a bit and tripped on the new CD player's power cord, which completely uprooted herself f from the ground. Her other foot with balance left, had instinctively tried catch herself by going in front of the other foot in the wire, while her hands were on the ground in front of herself.
That naturally didn't do much so her caught foot twisted completely making her upper body twist and land smack on her back. Now it may sound like the incident lasted forever, but to the class it happened with a few seconds.
Embarrassed, humiliated, and in some kind of pain, Anzu was excused from class leaving a few snickering girls, an angry teacher, A sad Serenity, and what she feels was a smirking CD player.
Flashback End
"It'll be fine, don't worry yourself, Ren!" she mimicked herself.
"Oh no, these shoes with no grip will do fine on the new floor!" Anzu half yelled to herself in defiance.
'Well that came around to bite me on the ass.'
But before she could curse herself anymore, what looked like to her a starfish on crack came into view. Not only was it sporting a body, but a tanned handsome face, too.
'Well this should get interesting.'
Atem walked up to the woman in question with amusement on his face. She obviously was having problem with the pump.
"Well hi there," he drawled in amusement, "having problems I see?"
Anzu raised her eyebrow at this man with a crack addict starfish on top of his head. He had dark, almost crimson eyes, and a lean muscular body. He wore cuffs around his wrists and acid-washed looking jeans that hung nicely on him, with a white shirt that sleeves looked as though they had been ripped off.
Atem noticed her eyes wandering on him and interrupting her by simply stating
"Even though you may like inspecting me mam, I do believe it is the car that you drive that needs the attention, no?"
Anzu was so flustered by the meaning of his words, she was speechless. So she did what any other person in her situation would do, she stood there gaping like a fish.
Atem chuckled at her reaction, making her now noticeable beautiful sapphire eyes spark with fire.
"Well excuse me sir," she lingered on 'sir', "even though I'm sure you need the ego boost, I do happen to have a problem with obtaining fuel."
'That was unexpected,' was the only thing running through Atem's mind.
He heard a stifled laugh from behind him, almost forgetting that Jou was with him. Jou was wearing jeans with holes adorning the knee areas and a red tank top with the sleeves also missing. His hair its normal messy self.
Atem shot him a look of 'Shut up now."
Turing his attention back to Anzu, he fully drank in her clothing. She wore black leggings that were rolled up half way up her calves, with biker shorts over them to mid thigh. Her upper body was covered with a black leotard with a white tee with the neck cut out so it hung off her shoulders. Her hair was half up with the bangs lightly in her face.
"Who's inspecting who, now?" was Anzu's cool reply.
That snapped him from his roaming.
She's good.
"Well my fair maiden, my name is Atem, and my friend here is Jou, how may we be of your service?" Atem coolly replied.
As angry as Anzu was, she also was frustrated and needed help.
"Well I don't see how you expect someone to properly use this," she pointed to the pump, "without a little confusion." She stated.
"Alright," Atem approached her car, checking the fuel tank first then glancing at Jou hollered, "hey jou, I need the medium lever with a two inch pipe."
"Gotcha." And with that, Jou disappeared back into the shop.
"What did you just say?" Anzu confusedly asked him.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head, but jus' wondering, how did you come across our humble station?"
"Well, I ran completely out of gas, as you can see, and this was the only place." Anzu answered a bit annoyed.
"Well I-" Atem was cut off by a ring.
"Oops, let me get that." Anzu quickly replied going to the driver's side and climbing in to reach her purse.
Jou returned with what Atem had requested and informed him that Mai was calling for him in the shop phone, so he'd back in a few minutes. Atem merely nodded, dropping the items on the ground near the car's tank.
"Yes, Ren, I'm fine." Anzu answered her friend. "No, nothing happened; I had to get some gas." She replied to the next assault of questions.
Disconnecting the wire from the handle, Atem reconnected the appropriate piece into place. The only problem now was that the girl's tank door was stuck, meaning he had to go ask her about it.
Anzu was now seated in the driver's seat with her door closed trying to hang up the phone with Serenity.
"Look, I promise to call you as soon as I get home, alright? Bye for now."
Hanging up quickly and immediately swinging her door open to check on the crack headed man named Atem, she was met with a loud "humph" of pain.
Looking out now, she realized that she had successfully knocked the starfish to the ground holding his stomach in for air.
"I am so sorry!" she cried, jumping out to help him.
"No, wait-" was all he was able to rasp out before she tripped over the extra handle he had lost while having the wind knocked out of him.
Anzu half yelped, half screamed from surprise and pain from her ankle again being used improperly again.
And what was there to break her fall? You guessed it, Starfish himself.
Jou walked out of the shop whistling to himself, because he got to talk to Mai again today, and was anxious to see if Atem and his new interest had killed each other yet.
The sight before him was the complete opposite. In fact, he could have sworn he felt his mouth hang open and a bug choke him to death.
Atem had just enough time to barely sit up and catch Anzu's upper body as it crashed into him, her impact making them roll a bit from the car.
It ended with Anzu straddling his waist with her knees, and torso smashed into his, with his hands still on her waist.
Interesting indeed.
"Well don't y'all take 'inspecting' to a whole new level?" Jou asked casually walking up beside them.
'Damn my ankle! Damn the evil CD player, and damn the damned crack-headed-tanned-extremely muscled- starfish!' was all Anzu managed to come up with in her head.
Atem smirked, 'I knew this could get interesting.'
Well, how was that? Much longer from the first chapter, and much better too, in my opinion. BUT could I please have yours?
Um…. Your own Starfish as a reward this time! ( hot guy not included….. sorry )
Please and thank you!
