Intro
"Damn it!" I silently muttered, "I can't find the 'Big Bang Theory' room! I guess I'll leave, it's about to be over anyways." I was disappointed, one of my favorite shows, and I'm gonna miss it. Walking out through the sky blue doors, quite a few feet in front of me, was a man with pudding-brown hair and a shirt as green as the grass at the park behind my apartment building, talking to his iPhone, shrugged my shoulders and kept going. Looking down, I noticed my shoe-lace was untied, Wow, really? Not feeling like tying it, I went on. Only watching my feet, and not thinking of looking up, I bumped into the man with his iPhone.
We tumbled backwards, with my head hitting hard, concrete ground. I opened my eyes to see the grass colored shirt on top of me. I laid there in pain until the man slowly got up,"Ah! Are you okay?!" he asked, concerned.
He then offered me a hand, and I grabbed it while achingly saying to him, "Yea. Sorry, I didnt mean to bump into you. I got distracted, as always." Noticing the pain, my hand went to rub the small bump behind my head.
"Need some ice?!" he quickly asked, his voice sounding like he was searching to help.
"Eh," I started, "I'll be fine, I've had worse happen.."
"Worse then hitting your head on a hard surface?" he joked.
"Sadly, yea." I laughed, but then became apologetic, "But, I'm seriously sorry for bumping into you, I should've been looking up and not down."
"Hah! It's okay, after all, I fell on you!" He laughed, "And since you got hurt and I didn't, how about going to my house for dinner?"
I studied him. This man, a man I didn't know, was inviting me into his home? Looking into his hazelnut brown eyes, it's like they too were inviting me in. His shirt said in block letters, Tobuscus and he wore Heelys and ocean-blue jeans, his dark brown hair wasn't combed, nor messy, but lightly curled onto a small part of his forehead, and in the back, it looked neat and brushed back, but it was kind of forward. He also had no sign of being a lunatic. "Okay, I accept your offer." I warily answered.
Getting into his car, it was luxurious and fresh, compared to the summer heat outside. He and buckled up, "So, what's your name?" he asked while starting the car and driving out of the parking lot.
"Nicole Athens." I said blindly while rubbing the small bump through my thick back hair on the back of my head.
"Nice to meet you Nicole!" He began cheerfully, "I am Toby Turner, also known as Tobuscus from Youtube!"
That would explain his shirt. "Hey Toby!" I smiled at him. I saw him shift a little for a moment then smile back at me. I was going to ask, but in the end, decided not to.
"Wait, Athens? That's a cool last name!" he yelled excitedly.
I giggled, "Yea, I like it, but your initials have to be fun to do sometimes! T for Toby, then another for Turner!"
Toby laughed and grinned, his winter white teeth gave off a little warmth. "I never thought of it as fun, but I do get some joy from it!"
This Toby, seems pretty okay from my guess. The smirk creeped onto my face, "Oh, um, one question?" I began to ask, "Why are you wearing Heelys?"
"They are comfortable, plus I can roll places! I don't like to just walk!" he said with joy and confidence.
I laughed, "Haha! Genius response! I just might get me some!" Toby laughed and smiled at my response.
We finally arrived at his home, I stepped off of the comfortable car and made way to the door. "Excuse me." Toby said in a funny way as he unlocked the door. Walking inside, I saw the living room. It held an Xbox 360 and Kinect, a big, wide television, a dark-as-night couch, some drawings and pictures, I'm guessing Fan-art, and a cute, fluffy, little snowball!
"Aww! What a cute little dog!" I yelled while picking him up and cuddling him.
"That's Gryphon!" He shouted. Gryphon quickly jumped out of my loving, and probably suffocating, arms toward Toby as he placed his keys on the kitchen table. Gryphon jumped up on his legs, and pawed at him. "Gryphon, who's my cute little doggy!" He said in a baby-ing voice. Gryphon licked him and wagged his cute white tail. Watching him, I saw that the affection Toby gave his dog was the same kind of affection I would give my pets. "Alright Gryphon, I'm gonna put you down now!" he told the adorable pup with a cheerful look on his face.
I sat down on the couch, it was very soft, and comfy. Gryphon came and sat by my feet, Petting his soft furry head, I wondered, "So, do you do this often?"
Toby was getting something prepared, and turned around, "Do what often?" he responded confused.
"Take strangers home? I mean, I could be a murderer! Or a psycho!" I smirked.
Toby nearly died of laughter, "No, I dont, but I know you're not a murderer, also, I have a bunch of crazy friends!" He retorted.
I lifted an eyebrow at him, "How do you know I'm not a murderer?"
He gave me a certain look, "They don't let murderers in at Comic-Con."
I smiled at him, "Alright, you got me. I would hate myself to much to kill someone." Starting to ramble, I went on, "I think people misjudge me though, I wear a hoodie all the time, jeans, and the music I listen too, people just assume things like that." Looking up at him, I saw him give a pity-ful look, "Oh! Sorry! I rant sometimes!"
He laughed a little, and answered, "You think you rant! I rant all the time to the Audience!"
"The Audience?" I questioned.
"Yes! The Audience," He shouted, "the people who watch me on Youtube! Haven't you ever seen my videos?"
I shook my head, "Sorry, I don't use a computer much, I am more of a musician. I focus on music."
He frowned a little, then grinned, "Well, I am gonna show you me!" he exclaimed, "Oh! And, what's your genre?"
I giggled, "Alright then! And, to answer your question, I play Alternative and Rock."
Toby nodded, "Nice! Now, come over here, so you can choose what you want to eat!"
"Ha! Okay." I grinned. Getting up from the couch, I went toward the small kitchen. We both decided on some steaks. Take out menu's? Toby must not like to cook much...
"Haha, anyways, I'll be right back, I gotta go Vlog!" he said to me as he ran out to the back.
I simply stood there and asked myself, "What's a Vlog?" I went to see what it was and what he was doing. I stood by the door, where I was hidden from view, but could still hear.
"Intro of Darkness, then Redness, then Whiteness!" He started, "Hey audience, this is gonna be short, cause I'm gonna eat with my new friend I meet today at Comic-con!" Obviously meaning me, "Haha! Well, I guess I didnt meet her, she met me! She bumped into me and we both fell backwards, it was while I was Vlogging too! Hahaha! I was like, 'If you snee.. AH!' It was hilarious!" Yea, except the painful bump, "But, I felt bad cause she hit her head on the floor, and I offered her dinner with me! And since, I don't like to cook, we ordered out. Oh well I gotta go. Thanks for watching! If you sneezed during this video, bless you. Peace off! BA DA DO DO DO SUBSCRIBE! Outro of Darkness, Redness, and Whiteness, then BOOP!"
He ended the video and walked back in my direction. Quickly scrambling to a picture, I acted like I had been viewing the interesting fan-art the whole time. Toby came in and closed the door behind him, "Hey, I'm back!" he announced.
"Oh, finished with your Vlog?" As if I didn't know.
"Yep! I told the audience about you!" He cheered. I nodded and walked over to him.
"Why do you wear your own T-shirts by the way?" I questioned.
"Haha! There all I have!" Joked Toby.
I laughed, "Haha! Wow." We just smiled at each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~X~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the food came, and we ate and really got to know each others history and personality, I had to leave.
"Aww man! I'm kind of sad to see this day end!" I sobbed.
"Yea! Your a cool person Nicole!" he yelled, "Do you have a car to get home?"
I shook my head, "No, I took a Taxi to Comic-Con."
Toby quickly stood up, "I will drive you home then!" he volunteered. I giggled and nodded.
Toby drove me home to my quaint apartment. Before Toby let me, go he handed me a piece of paper, "Here's my number, we should hang out again." he suggested.
"Yea! We should, your a really fun guy!" I agreed. Tearing off a piece of the paper he gave me, I wrote my number down, "Here, call me tomorrow and we can hang out again, if your not busy."
"Mmmhmmm! I will, definitely!" he shouted. Smiling softly at him, I shut the car door, and waved him goodbye, and with that he was off. The stranger I had just met hours earlier, was now a really good friend named Toby Turner.
