A/N: Ok, this is my first story, so please be respectful…I do not take criticism unless it is constructive. In case you were wondering how old they are, I guess about early twenties, after college.

Is This Goodbye?

A young woman with long blond hair and striking green eyes was walking…no, running to her new job at the Retroville Center of Chemistry. She was going so fast that she did not see the handsome young man, about her own age, carrying an entire tray of test tubes. She collided with his side, making him drop the tray and cause a huge mess of broken glass all over the floor (luckily there were no chemicals in the test tubes). She also started slipping backwards, but before she could fall on the hard ground, a hand reached behind the small of her back and pulled her up, as an arm reached around her, protectively embracing her for a moment. When those warm, strong arms let her go, she looked at the ground and started stuttering out of embarrassment.

"I-I'm s-sorry, I didn't see you there…I-I'll…" she started, but before she could finish a very familiar voice said "…C-Cindy?"

She looked up at her savior, and gaped open-mouthed at whom fate arbitrarily ruled that she should see again…after four years…

"J-Jimmy!" she half-gasped.

A/N: I know, short paragraph…they won't all be like this.
