           {Chapter 1}

I sat at the empty table in the Lucky Duckling, fingers drumming against the table as I stared at the empty seat across from me.
"So you promise you'll show up this time?"
"I promise."

Yeah, right. Here I am, yet you aren't here. So much for honesty.

A tap-tapping noise was enough to make me jump.

"Are you ready to order?" The Chinese woman asked with a smile.

"Sure.." I replied. No point in waiting, since you aren't going to show up. Like usual.

                        ~***~

After slurping down the final noodle of my meal, I dropped the fork down with a clang, just enough time to notice that the Chinese Lady dropped the bill down on the table, along with a fortune cookie.

I wiped my mouth with the napkin and pulled out my wallet. After setting two 10 dollar bills down on the table, along with a 5 dollar tip, I opened the fortune cookie.

I took one half and bit into it using my left hand, and shook the other half with my right.

After the familiar little slip of paper fell onto the side of my now dirty plate, I dropped both pieces onto the spare napkin.

I unrolled the paper gently, careful not to tear it, and read the scroll with curious eyes.

Are you kidding me? That's what it said? "Do something random?!" I yelled. "What the fudge does that mean?"

I looked up to see a family of three sitting in the booth next to me, eyeing me with a look of both horror and curiousity. I honestly expected the woman to shield her baby, since I probably looked psycho.
