Lovers and Friends
(Authors Intro- Guten Tag fanfictors, Naruto Uchiha06 here with the third chapter to Lovers and Friends, Nails in the Fence. As you guyscan seeI'm a very fast updater I bet you wonder how come. Well I'll tell you. The first reason is because where I'm living school is out and the second reason is because I get to stay home all day and exercise, watch TV, play video games, and listen to super loud music while my parents work. Those are the two reasons to why I'm a fast updater.
Anyways, lets talk about what's happened so far. After Ami and Yumi get into a fight Ami tours New York City for a bit, while Yumi stays at the hotel watching MTV. Ami finds this dance/night club called Webster Hall (which is a Real club) and checks it out. Meanwhile as Yumi watches MTV Ami and Yumi's song Friends Forever comes on and Yumi, filled with guilt, starts to cry. The song also comes on in the club Ami's in and causes her to cry also and then comes the flashback sequence. After the flashback sequence a man named Tony Nelson hands Ami a handkerchief. Tony sympathizes for Ami and tries to find out why she's crying. In this chapter you will learn alot of things about Tony. So here we Chapter Three to Lovers and Friends, Nails in the Fence.
Chapter Three- Nails in the Fence
"Pleased to meet you also Tony"
"Say", Tony asked, "Aren't you from that J-Pop band?"
"- - Yeah", Ami said interrupting Tony, "I'm from the band Puffy AmiYumi."
" Oh Yeah", Tony says a little surprised, "You are because I saw you at you guys in concert at Madison Square Garden earlier tonight you guys were great!"
"Did you come over here for an autograph?" Ami says a little impatient.
"Oh no", Tony says honestly," I assure you I'm not over for that, but I was just wondering how come your not celebrating with your friend from the band Yumi right?"
"Yeah she's mostly the reason why I'm in such alow spirited stage."
"I see would you like to tell me about it I might be able to give you some advice"
Ami sighs and says, "Okay, you see it all started…."
Meanwhile back at the hotel after the Friends Forever music video went off Yumi started to think about the past events and what she should do.
"Perhaps", Yumi said in her thoughts, "I was acting like a smart ass…Hell No Ami Was the Smart Ass she said my personality was an act and therefore she dissevered to get he ass kick!…But maybe Ami was right, maybe it would've been fun if I went out and toured New York with her but then I had to say something smug and piss her off which caused us to fight and damageour friendship and possibly ruin my chances of her being with…That's it I've got to find Ami and apologize!" and after saying that Yumi got off the couch, took of her boxers and T shirt, put back on her normal clothes and was about to grab her leather jacket when she had second thoughts. "But what if she doesn't accept it and besides she started it doesn't she owe me an apology first?" Just when Yumi was about to give up and watch some more TV she saw the shattered picture, which broke from Ami shutting the door so hard. Yumi picked it up and looked at it. It was from the very first day they had met at Virgin Recording Studio. They became friends in just thirty minutes after meeting one another. Yumi turned the picture over and on the back it said Best Friends Forever Ami and Yumi. Yumi finally yelled out "Screw It, It was my fault and Even if she doesn't accept my apology I've Got to try damn It!" With that said Yumi jolted out the door and began her search for Ami.
"And that's what happened", Ami said as she finished telling Tony what happened.
"Hmm", Tony said a little more seriously than before, "I see"
"So Tony can you give me any advice now."
"Well Ami from what you told me you guys are True best friends and I don't think you guys should give it up over something like that."
"I know I didn't mean to say I hate her but sometimes I just lose my patience and my anger flares out like a volcano."
"Ami let me tell you a little poem it might prove to help you out it's called Nails in the Fence."
"Okay Tony"
Tony took in a deep breath and spoke the poem to Ami.
"There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 27 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
Many days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."
The boy looked up at his dad with tears in his eyes and said, "I understand now, thank you dad". His father gave him a hug and said, "I know son, I love you" Both of them learned from this lesson and were forever changed by placing nails in the fence.
Remember "ANGER" is just one letter short of "DANGER"
After Tony ended the poem Ami said "Wow I guess I could learn to control my anger like the boy in the story"
"Of course you can Ami because you know what…I was that boy."
'What! But Tony you seem so calm and care free"
"I know cause I've learned how to control my temper, you see the reason I would loose my temper so much was because there was a boy who would talk a lot of mess but he couldn't even fight so I'd beat him up. Then when I learned to control my anger and talked to him one day after school, we talked about each other views on stuff, and we became friends."
"But Tony who's your best friend?"
Tony looked straight into Ami's eyes and then smiled while holding on to the fang on his necklace.
"My best friend died saving me a long time ago."
"I'm sorry", Ami said sadly
"Don't be. When I was eleven years old I was playing in the woods one day when I happened to see something move in the leaves. I went to go see what it was and when I was on my knees just looking at the piled leaves rapidly moving an animal jumped out of them it was a wolf, a beautiful wolf. It's fur was as white as the moon itself, it's eyes were like that of the sky, blue and calm and it seemed to not be full grown but neither was It a puppy. There I was staring in the eyes of a wolf, which was an inch away from my face. I was terrified yet at the same time mesmerized. After that it licked my face and followed me around. When I headed back home it was still following me. When my father mother and grandfather saw only my grandfather had the answer to why it was following me."
"What did he say", Ami said filled with interest.
"My grandfather said it was because of my Cherokee blood. He said that it says in our native spiritual customs thatwhen we come of acertain ageour spirit animal would appear.
"What's a spirit animal?"
"It's the animal which is apart of your soul and best describes you. Anyway after my grandfather told me that I gave him a name."
"What did you name him ?"
"I gave him two names the first one was Yahto which is Sioux for blueand the second one was Yas which is Navajo for snow but I mostly called him Yahto Yas. Every day he'd wait for me to come from school and when I did I'd take him with me up to the mountains and explore the many things up there and webecame each others best friends."
"Then what happened ?"
Tony suddenly got quiet and grabbed his necklace even tighter.
"One day,on the seventh year anniversary of when I found Yahto Yas,while in the mountains Yahto Yas and I were walking down the mountain to go home when suddenly we heard a giant roar bellow from behind it was giant grizzly bear.
"What did it do?"
"At first it just stood there but then it attacked us going full speed. I was holding a giant stick in my hand so I got a couple of shots at the bear causing it to bleed. Suddenly the bear knocked the stick out of my hand was about to strike me with its giant paw when out of nowhere Yahto Yas jumped up and bit into the paw of the bear. When Yahto Yas landed back on the ground he looked different."
"How did he look different ?"
"His fangsshowed clearly through his mouth as he growled viciously at the bear, his eyes instead of the calm sky blue were now as dark blue as that of the sea and his smooth white fur was now sticking up offhis bodyI was stunned. He fought that bear like he was an angel trying to fight off a demon from hell."
"What happened next?"
"Well, after a couple of minutes the bear swung his paw around and knocked Yahto Yas to the ground but he got back up jumped and sunk his teeth into the bears throat. Then without warning the part of the mountain we were on collapsed and we all fell to the forest floor. When I woke up I saw a river and I took a quick sip of water. Not far down the river was the dead bear and then not far from the bear was Yahto Yas. I ran over to him ha was still alive but barely."
"What did you do?"
"As Is cryedI looked into his eyes and they were back to the calm sky blue color. Even though he couldn't talk I could understand what he was saying.
"What did he say?"
"He said ;Tony you are truly the best friend I've ever had and I truly enjoyed being your animal spirit and always will be you've taught me many things but the most important thing you and your family taught me was how to Love. Then he spit out one of his fangs and said; this is a token of my gratitude for you but don't worry about me Tony because I'll still be with you forever and forever you shall be…my…best…friend. He died after saying that.
"When I got back home I told my parents and my grandfather about what happened. After I told them my grandfather told me something, He said that even though I thought he died he really wasn't dead he just went somewhere."
"Where did he say he went ?"
Tony pointed to his heart and said "He returned back to mysoul and is still there and this necklace reminds me of him and we're still best friends sometimes I can even hear him sometimes.So remember Ami friendship is a thing that can last even through death but if you let something foolish like anger get in the way it can damage you."
Ami looked Tony straight in the eye and said, "Your right Tony but whatshould I do?"
Tony looked at Ami as if she was crazy, "What should you do! Why you should go find Yumi and tell her how you truly feel!"
"You know what I should", and with that said Ami got up from that bar and headed towards the door but before she did she turned back and gave Tony a big hug and said, "Thanks Tony how could I ever thank you."
'Well Tony said smiling devilishly, "You could get down on the and have sex with me!"
"What!", Ami says shocked.
"Just kidding Ami now go on and find Yumi and tell her what you truly feel!"
So Ami, fully relieved that Tony was playing, headed out the door to find her true friend and apologize while Digital Love by Daft Punk came on in the club.
(Authors Conclusion- There you have itthe third chapter to Lovers and Friends, Nails in the Fence. Like I said you would learn alot about Tony and you did, at least I think so. For those who are wondering no the name of the wolf isnot fake those are Real Sioux and Navajo boy names, and Tony is of Comanche heritage.
