Making A New Friend [Erin]

[tonya]

25th April, 2009

It had been five days since that sweet guy Stephen had saved her life that day. If it hadn't been for his intervening, she and her mom and dad would surely have died. It was a horrible moment, the idea of her life ending at such a young age was horrific. Thankfully this Stephen guy who was rather cute looking saved her life, and she was ever grateful to him for it.

However, since moving to Las Vegas TJ hadn't actually made too many friends even though she was a great girl with a very bubbly personality. She got on very well with her family and loved spending time with her brother and cousins, but they were mostly all guys apart from Debbie, but for some reason she didn't get on quite so well with her as she did with Brendan. So TJ really needed a female friend.

Today TJ was just sitting in the park listening to her iPod player and flicking through a magazine doing a 'Does he love you quiz'. She couldn't help but laugh to herself as she answered the questions, she and Stephen had hardly spent any time together, but he had saved her life, that was enough for her. The result had said 89% perfectly matched. TJ had to grin at this achievement. "Woooh, maybe I'll find love after all" she said out loud to nobody in particular, and then looked around to see if anybody had heard her with a pink glow on her face and shifty eyes.

After succeeding in the mission that Anthony from the future had given her, she teleported away. Almost to the other side of the states. Fortunately, she had teleported just after a onlooker's sight had already passed. She was in for the clear. She sighed, as she looked around. This place did not look like home. It would seem that fate didn't want her home quite yet. She approached the onlooker. "Can what park this is?" she asked the young girl.

She hoped that it didn't sound strange that she didn't know where she was. But honest to God, she didn't. She had sat down next to the girl on the bench, waiting for an answer. This bench had seem very uncomfortable to Erin, but yet familiar. The wood on it was painted green. Everything in her sight all seemed familiar and not in a good way. If this was the same place as the incident in the future, she would be horrified. She needed to find out the date as well.

She looked horrified as she scrambled in her pockets for her phone. She pulled it out and checked the date. April 25th, 2009 She knew almost immediately why fate had sent her here. It was to prevent whatever was going to happen here. And if she was told correctly, it was going to happen in three days.

TJ was so lost in the magazine and the silly quiz she didn't really notice the girl who sat down next to her on the bench, so when she spoke TJ jumped and the pen scored across the whole quiz. She sighed and then followed it through with a laugh, it wasn't as if she hadn't finished it. She had and she was happy with the results. She put the magazine down by her side and turned to face the girl with a smile.

"Sure, it's Greenwood Park in Las Vegas, can I ask why ya wanted to know?" TJ asked, her mixture of her natural Canadian accent coming out with the Southern accent of all her cousins whom she spent much time with. TJ was quite quick at picking up accents, she only had to be in the company of somebody with a different accent to her own for about ten minutes and she'd be talking in their accent. It was quite remarkable and probably should be a power within itself.

Pushing her phone back into her pocket, she noticed that she had full bars even in this now. She laughed slightly. Then the young gal she sat next to answered her question, and it was just as Erin feared. The 'Greenwood Park Catastrophe' as Brendan would call it. She didn't know what really happened on this day but she knew that something big happened to cause what the park had looked like in her time. She was for sure going to stop this. Save this beautiful park was her new mission for the next couple of days.

She then looked over at the girl. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?" she asked ignoring her question for the time being.

Tonya just sort of shrugged her shoulders a little when the blonde girl didn't say anything after she told her the name of the park and asked why she wanted to know. She wasn't going to push it at all, if the girl wanted her to know she'd tell her. Instead TJ just gave her a smile. Then the girl asked her what her name was.

"Course I don't mind ya asking" TJ said with a grin, anyway TJ could do with making some friends, well female friends at any rate, she didn't have that many. Most of her friends were still in Canada, but she had wanted to move to the States to be closer to her cousins, so she had to sacrifice the friendships in order to move.

"My name is Tonya Jaime Ford, but I mostly get called TJ, but Tonya is fine too, I don't mind what I'm called so long as it's all nice stuff, my cousin Brendan would call me Smiley actually" TJ rambled slightly but kept smiling the whole time she spoke, she had no idea why she was telling this girl all of this. It was strange. "How about yourself? Do I get the pleasure of your name?" she asked as her mind drifted back to the other day when she'd met Stephen. He was so handsome.
