Billy had resigned himself to the fact that he would be attending the prom solo, just as he did everything else.It was a Sunday afternoon, three weeks...before the prom, and Billy was sitting in his favorite place, the public library, reading a book. He finished the book, and got up to find something else worth reading. Billy wandered the aisles, section to section, pulling out books here and there and reading the back cover. As he was searching through the stacks, one book in particular caught. He was finding the whole thing very funny and was egging me on to do a walk of shame to my own vehicle. I worked up the nerve and did it while covering my face as best I could. The silly thing is they’d seen it many times so it was silly but I just felt the need to do it. Afterwards, I couldn’t help freak out thinking we had gone too far. Over time though I calmed down and kept telling myself they already knew what we did they just happened to see that time. I kept trying to reassure myself it. My second night at the base, just after my first day as a front gate guard, the duty sergeant came to be and told me that I had a phone call. WTF. Only about a half dozen family and friends even knew where I was stationed and none of them knew the phone number. Hell, I didnt even know the phone number. When I answered I heard a delightful feminine voice with a slight accent ask me Are you the guy that was on guard duty, at Gate 1, between four and six? I said I was and she asked Did you see my. I want to thank you for that.Aoshi: That's all right.Kenshin: You call yourself a villain. But don't kill more than you have to.Aoshi: As a general rule? For now, let's say that's something I agree with.(He rises to go, just as Kaoru comes in with a tray.)Kaoru: I brought some sweets... Aoshi (brushing past her): No thank you. We're finished.Kaoru: I wanted to say you really--Aoshi: Himura already thanked me.Kaoru (thinking): I just don't understand him... Kenshin: Oh, is that sponge.
