Jesse woke up to the characteristic breathing of Darth Vader. He sat up and glanced around the room. Benji was in full Vader costume, light saber and all, walking intimidatingly across the room.

"Benji, what are you doing?"

"There is no Benji, only Darth Vader." Benji waved the light saber around. "choo chooo choo" making sound effects as he did so.

"Okay then, Darth Vader, what are you doing?"

Benji stopped waving his saber and turned to Jessie. He took a step forward and nonchalantly placed a second saber on the bed. Jesse looked down at it and then back at Benji.

"Jessie. I AM YOUR FATHER." Benji gestured to the saber slightly, urging Jessie to pick it up.

Jesse stared down at it and a smile crept onto his face. He grabbed it quickly and rolled off the bed to face benji. He pressed the button on the handle and the saber came to life.

"You can never defeat Luke Skywalker!" He yelled as he initiated the fight. The sabers clanked together slowly. As they fought Jessie decided it would be a good time to get to know his roommate a little better.

"So Benji, i mean Darth, you have a girlfriend?"

Benji parried Jessie's strike and answered "No. I had one once in fourth grade though. I guess not a lot of girls want such a total geek. What about you?"

"I've dated twice, but they broke up with me both times. But i saw a girl today. She was getting out of a taxi cab."

Benji jumped on his bed to gain ground. "Maybe her dad's a taxi driver." He swung towards Jesse's head.

Jesse ducked, "Maybe yah."

"Well, what did she look like?'

"She was kinda short, but she was a brunette. Shes beautiful. Shes got ear spikes and lots of eyeliner but she doesn't seem like the kind of person who turns out to be a psychopath ya know? Shes like the one who has a tough exterior but a real soft interior."

Benji stopped his assault. "So, did you talk to her?"

Jesse shuffled a little. " Well, no. but i sang to her from my car! She seemed pretty into it."

Benji's eyebrows raised. "Really?"

Jesse sighed. "No, but she was still pretty cool."

Benji laughed. "Well i hope that she doesn't turn out to be a psycho and she turns out to be the soft interiored love of your life that you think she is despite only seeing her once from a car and having no real interaction with her."

Jesse cocked his head to the side and pursed his lips. "That's bold talk for someone who's going to get his butt kicked by Luke Skywalker." They laughed and resumed their battle.

"Hey Benji, this might be a weird question but have your parents ever just assumed you were gay?"

Benji's face twisted in confusion. "No, Why do you think i am?"

Jesse waved his hands frantically and shook his head no. "Oh no no no, its just, before they dropped me off my mom told me that i could feel free to bring home a boyfriend anytime. "

Benji burst out into laughter. "Wow, im sorry man haha but thats funny stuff."

"Shut up man."

Later that day

Jesse strolled into the radio station shop one minute past 6. He saw a skinny blonde guy talking to a girl by the booth. He walked up and introduced himself to the boy, holding his hand out.

"Hi i'm Jessie. I'm here for the internship." the other boy looked at his extended hand. He then grabbed a box from behind him and began walking to the other side of the station.

"I'm Luke, and your late." wow. rude much

The girl tried to turn away from him before he could get a good look at her, but it was already too late.

"Hey! hey i know you!'

"No no you don't. "

oh my god its her! "no i know you. i sang to you!" They met up with Luke who was just staring at them.

"He doesn't know me." The girl said.

Luke looked between them. "Alright well whatever. SO you'll be stacking CD's. when your done with these ones theres more boxes over there. And when your done with that i have more for you. Now look, you two are going to be spending a lot of time together, so please, no sex on the desk. They've been burned before." He walked away back to the booth.

The two began stacking cd's.

"I do know you. i sang to you. you were getting out of the taxi. Hey is your dad a taxi driver?"

The girl ignored him. "this sucks. I wanted to be making music." she loves music too! I knew we were meant to man your on a roll. time to bring out the big guns.

"So whats your deal?" Jesse began, "Are you like one of those girls whos all dark and mysterious, then she takes off her glasses and that amazingly scary earspike and you realize that she was beautiful the whole time?" The girl was clearly not amused, but Jesse didn't notice.

"I don't wear glasses." She mumbled.

"Then your already half way there." He smiled at her from behind the cd wrack. He walked around back to her side to grab some more cd's.

"Your a wierdo." she said.

"Ya i am." He smiled. "And so are you. so its a good thing we are going to be best friends." He nudged her slightly. "and or or lovers." hope i didnt push it with that one.

The girl shook her head in disgust. "Don't, don't say lovers." Jesse played the rejection cool.

"Ya know, i wouldn't pass this up. Once i'm a treble i wont have time for you."

The girls face remained unchanged. "Wow. ya know i didn't think there was anyway for you to get more unattractive to me but congratulations. you've managed it."

"Just wait. you'll go all squidy, you'll drape yourself all over me. it'll be 'll see." Unfortunately for jesse what he thought was being charming was just being creepy and desperate. Luckily for him, the girl had already been ambushed in the shower, so this level of creepy wasn't overwhelming. She had to admit though, he was bold and kind of funny.

"So, Jesse right?" She said, glancing over at him.

score "Yup. Jesse Swanson. and what would my fair lady's name be?"

She smiled slightly. "Beca."

Jesse motioned for her to elaborate.

"Mitchell. Beca Mitchell."

"HEY." Lukes voice rang out from the booth. "Stop slacking. You've got enough cd's to back to work."

"Guess we should listen to him" beca said, as the two resumed stacking.

i think this is going to work out well.
