Chapter 1: The Park

"This is a bad idea."

"Oh come on Nathan."

"We have to get to work," he replied.

"Pfft, work can wait."

"Tanessa is right Nath, and besides which Jason Neilson is uber sexy."

"Geeze Travis, you just want in his pants," Nathan laughed.

"And you don't?" Travis smirked, "Have you seen any of his movies lately?"
Nathan only shook his head and laughed some more.

As the trio continued through the park Tanessa remarked, " I bet this cool
August air is ideal for filming."

"What would an engineering student know about film?" Travis coughed,
"You're more interested in structural integrity or some such thing."

Seconds before she was about to throttle Travis' spikey blonde hair Nathan
remarked, "That's a large crowd over there hey?"  Suddenly all thoughts of
murder and mayhem vanished soon to be replaced by...

"I think I just wet myself," Travis said.

"Relax homo-eroticon 5 thousand," Tanessa replied, "You'll pop your
circuits; besides which what makes you think he even swings that way?"

Travis looked hurt, "you can see it in his eyes.  I know he loves
man-gina".  Nathan could only shake his head.

	Tess made a face, "You're dreaming."

"Either way guys, I don't have much time before I need to be at work, in my
chair.  I'll see you two around and..."

"No, no,no," Tanessa grabbed his arm.

"Tess is right man," Travis grabbed the other arm, "I call dibs on the sexy
movie-star but that doesn't mean you can't pick up the ogling hotties on
the sidelines."

Nathan could only blush.

"That's my boy!" Travis slapped his friend on the chest.

"You're both insane you know that?"

"Yeah, yeah, and you're guilty by association," Tess replied.  "That's the
Nathan I remember," she paused, "Look at that smile."

The crowd was thicker than it had originally seemed.  It was filled with a
wide assortment of people who apparently had nothing better to do with
their lives.  Everyone had one common feature though; they all wanted a
piece of the latest Hollywood heartthrob.  Everyone but a certain tired
university student by the name of Nathan Scovil.

	Tess and Travis immediately started moving through the crowd.

"Keep up Nat," Travis hissed, "You won't be able to see Jason's sexy ass."

"Wait," Nathan managed to wheeze out before someone knocked him clean over.
Already Tess and Trav's trail was being replaced by a myriad of ass ends
that Jason didn't find at all appealing.  After what felt like forever,
Nathan finally managed to escape from the throng of crazed people.  His
work clothes were all mushed and mangled which seemed to mirror his mood.

"This'll go over well with the boss," he said to himself.  'Piss on it,' he
thought as he limped over to the nearest park bench to wait for the two
lunatics that he called his friends.  The park was nice this morning, and
would have been even nicer if not for the screaming mass of people not
fifty feet away.  Not even the birds were braving the park today.

	Tired of waiting, Nathan got up and went for a small walk just to
clear his head he told himself.  He hadn't been himself for a long time
now.  He could only catch a blurry form before he found himself in midair.

"Oomf," Nathan landed on his ass.  Damn but that concrete hurts.

"Shit," he heard a man's voice swear, "You should be watch where you're
going."

"What are you talking about?  You ran right into me you insensitive prick!"

The stranger stepped back as though Nathan had punched his smug face in.

"Don't you know who I am?" he sounded genuinely shocked which might have
been the only genuine thing about him as far as Nathan was concerned.
Nathan looked up.

"I don't make a point of knowing people who knock me down then don't even
offer to help me get up!" Nathan struggled to his feet.  Today was getting
better and better.

The strange man took off his sunglasses, "Recognize me now?" he pointed to
his face.  Nathan brushed himself off and looked closer at the raven-haired
man.

"Have you heard a damn word I've said?"

The man stepped back in contemplation, "I must not be as popular as I
thought," he said almost to himself arms folded over his expansive chest.

As is caught in an after-though, "Here," the stranger started to gather
Nathan's spilled things.

"I don't...." the man was looking at one of his books.

"You're studying Archaeology?" the man eyed Nathan then the book.  He
looked to be around Nathan's age if not a little older.

"I picked it up early and..." Nathan spoke a little faster than normal for
some unfathomable reason.

"Well Archy boi," the man smirked and offered Nathan a brief wink before
walking off into the park, "I'll see you later".  Nathan could only stare
at the robin's egg blue cover of the first year textbook.

"Wait...what?"  Nathan turned around, but the man was gone.

Nathan was left clutching his bag and books, in the middle of the park,
with a dumbfounded look plastered on his slender face.

	A minute or two later, he could see two people hurrying over to
him, "There you are," Travis panted, "What the hell happened to you?"

	Nathan shook his head, as if to knock the cobwebs loose, "Sorry,"
was all he could say.

	"You missed all the fun," Tess smiled.

	"You got to see this Jason guy?"

	"Not sure," Travis and Tess exchanged glances.  Tess continued,
"There was a guy wearing a robe and a big hat and sunglasses that Travis
thinks was him."

	"I know it was him.  I can tell the other half of my soul
anywhere," Travis beamed as he and Tess walked off.

	"Wait," Nathan ran along behind, "if you didn't get to jump him
then why're we leaving?"

	"We need to get to work before we get fired hon," Tess called back.

	"...Right, right".  Still, Nathan's mind could only think of one
thing.  The tall, dark stranger in the park and his dead sexy smile.
