Chapter Three:

Honking…why in the world was there honking around me. I flickered open my eyes to the sight of cars going past me “What the he-”I started to say when a huge semi-truck was honking and making its way towards me “Awww crap!” I yelled trying to move but I was frozen in place my feet weren’t responding in anyway. I stared at the vehicle as it started to get closer and closer when all of a sudden a pair of arms grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back. I landed on my butt getting the air knocked out of me “Dear bob,” I muttered.

“Hey you ok?” a deep voice asked I whipped my head around to stare into the brightest blue orbs I’ve ever seen. It took me a minute to recover from his beautiful face, I looked at him for a moment his shaggy dark brown hair and bright red lips.

“Umm hello there?” said the guy again, I came back to reality “Huh? Oh yeah I’m fine absolutely dandy,” I said … really… dandy I mentally faced palmed myself really Rose get under control.

“Here let me help you up,” offering his hand I took it graciously   “Thanks,” I murmured turning a shade of pink

“No problem so what’s your name?” He asked

“Oh, Rose…Rose Morris,”

“Nice to meet you Rose I’m Fasto,”

Fasto I said to myself dreamy in my head. Get it together Rose you’re here to look for your father not some guy! I snapped my head up and looked around me , wait it couldn’t be , Toyota models of the 70’s were all around , people in bright swirls and colors were walking around with afros and bumped up hair.

I ran towards Fasto and pulled him by the sleeve since he was walking away. “Tell me what year is it?” I asked

“Umm 1974 of course,” He said surprised

“Really!?” I squeaked

“yeaaaa,”

“OHMYGAWD YES I DID IT!” I yelled jumping around, till turning around and saw Fasto’ lips playing a smirk, “Hi there…” feeling my face turning I bright shade of red.

“Rose Morris you sure are different,” Fasto said chuckling

“Hahahaha umm thanks?” I said

“No problem, hey since I already saved you once why not in repayment come have a coffee with me,” he suggested

“Umm I’m not sure,” I said I wanted to go look for my father as soon as possible but I hadn’t ate since… 39 years ago.

“Please?” He said with his hair rustling in the wind my god how irresistible was he.

“Fine,” I said he cheered fists pumping in the air as I shook my head following him to a local diner.

I looked around in the retro diner that I was in, wow just that one word I still can’t believe that I actually traveled back in time and was here in 1974 the high stool chairs looked as just bought, women in high headbands looking antique and all this pink and blue colors as bright as the color on the tiles and neon bright signs.

“So tell me Rose where are you from cause you sure ain’t from here,” Fasto said snapping me out of my thoughts.

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,” I said, while saying thanks to an I Love Lucy look alike when she delivered our coffee. I looked up from the rim of my cup to find Fasto eyes staring into my eyes deeply once more.

“Try me,” he simply replied. I felt my eyes widen should I tell him...I leaned back in my seat and looked at him in those eyes of his.

“I live Oregon-” I started to say but was interrupted “See that wasn’t so hard, I heard Oregon’s grea-”

“From 2013,” I ended. What I thought of Fasto reaction was laughing at me and saying I’m crazy but what I actually got was this.

“I knew you were different,” he said with a smirk.

“Told you, you wouldn’t belie-wait you believe me!” Fasto nodded his head and took a sip of his coffee.

“Well anything is possible though your hair and your style of clothing kind of gave it away,” looking down at my clothes he was right, a simple cardigan , skinny jeans, vans were not in style this time that’s for sure.

“Crap…” I muttered Fasto started chuckling when he asked “Hey do you have a place to stay?”

OH GOD! How could I forget to have a place to be here I might have well lived in a box get your life together Rose really! “Umm no actually,”

“I have an extra room in my apartment if you want?”

“I don’t know...”

“I won’t bite come on don’t worry my sister sometimes comes so it just won’t be me and you and I think she has some clothes you can wear to blend in so why not you got nowhere else to go at the moment,” He said. Crap he has a point there.

“Ok I’ll stay with you,” I said

“Great!” Fast got up from his chair and started walking towards the exit. When he turned around “Well are you coming,” I nodded my head and started walking the first steps to finding my father and maybe even someone else.
