Car

Problems

I'm sitting on the counter talking to Autumn on the phone and she is telling me about her car being a pain.

"I tell ya Tre, it never ends. I think I'm gonna take a sledge hammer to it"

Laughing I say "I don't think a sledge hammer will cure your cars ill there Autumn"

"No, but damn it'd make me feel better" She replies.

When she says this, I get an idea "Hey girl, I gotta let you go. I'll talk to you later on the net, ok?"

"Uh, ok sure. Talk to you then"

We hang up and I grab my car keys, my purse and walk out the door figuring out a plan

I get to the airport and get my tix and then head for the gate. The plane is surprisingly on time so I get to board and relax for a bit before take off.

'Ok, now how am I gonna do this'

I am thinking to myself when this person sits next to me, accidentaly hitting my arm.

"Oh, man I'm sorry. I was trying to get my carry-on up in the cabinet" I hear a mans voice say.

I look up and my mouth drops open. I am looking into the eyes of the man I was seeking out...FRED DURST!!

'Hmm he does have pretty blue eyes' I am thinking when I realize he is staring at me "huh, oh it's ok, really. The closeness of the planes cabin is a real pain. Accidents happen" I tell him and smile.

He smiles back and plops down next to me.

"I'm Fred" He says extending his hand.

I smile "Yes, I know"

I tell him and he smiles and shakes his head as I take his hand to shake it

"Wearing a backstreet shirt, I wasn't sure you would know who I was" He tells me

"I"m Tre, by the way. And yes I know who you are. Even if I didn't listen to your music I would know who you are because of my friend Autumn" I tell him and pattying myself on the back in my mind 'way to lead into this girly'.

"Oh yea? You have a friend who likes our music, huh?" He asks me

I laugh "Likes? try more like LOVES your music."

I tell him and it's his turn to laugh

"Cool" he says and leans his head back.

I watch him and smile 'Yea way cool.' I think.

A couple hours later Fred wakes up from his nap just as the cart comes by and he stops her.

"Yea I'd like a jack and coke, please" he tells her and then looks at me "Want anything?"

I turn away from the window and smile "Naw, that's ok. Thanks tho" Fred nods and takes his drink. 'Good time as any to do this' I think to myself "Uhh Fred?"

He takes a drink and then looks at me "Yea, Tre?" "Rough time, how?"

He asks me and I get the feeling he thinks I am going to ask him for money. I smile and shake my head

"No Fred, not money wise. How would you like to make a girl who just loves you very very happy?"

He looks at me and appears to be thinking and then smiles "Sure why not. Where is she?"

I smile and mentally do a jig "She's in Kentucky. We'll have to get to the airport and get tix to there. ok?"

He smiles at me and throws back his jack and coke "Yep, sounds like a plan to me"

We get to the airport in LA and grab new tix heading for Kentucky. We board our plane and once again are airborn. Fred tells me about himself and the band. I tell him some about me, not that it's as exciting but oh well.

We land in Kentucky and rent a car. We find Autumns apartment and walk up and I knock. I can hear 'Break Stuff' blaring through the windows and I turn to Fred and he smiles. The door jerks open and Autumn is standing there looking like she just beat the crap outta something.

"Car?" I ask her

"Yes my stupid piece of crap car!" She yells and I laugh. "Tre, why are you here?" She asks me

I smile at her "I brought you something to take your mind off your car but I guess you don't need him anymore" I tell her.

"Him?" she asks poking her head behind me

"Yea, him." I tell her and move so Fred can step up. She takes one look at Fred and says

"Well I do believe I still need something to take my mind off stuff"

I start laughing at her "Why? I thought you took care of your car, by the looks of it you beat it to death" I tell her

"Yea but now I have the problem of getting rid of the debris" She tells me reaching for Freds hand.

"Fred, Autumn" I tell him smiling.

I watch him enter the apartment with Autumn and I know he'll get her mind off all her problems

THE END
