You and I {Douglas Booth!Nikki Sixx} Chapter One
Pairing: Douglas Booth!Nikki Sixx x Reader
Summary: There was time when all Y/N and Nikki had were themselves and Nikki’s dreams of creating the next great band. What happens when the dream comes alive?
Author’s Note: Hello loves! This whole story takes place during The Dirt plot so that means some lines from the movie are going to be used and so credit goes to the screenwriter.
Next Chapter
Nikki slid into the booth, Y/N sliding in beside him. The energy from the fight he had on stage was still at an all time high and it didn’t help that his former douche of a lead singer punched him in the nose. He grabbed the napkin and pressed it under his nose.
It was the sudden yet gentle touch of Y/N’s fingers combining through his jet black hair that slowly bega to calm him down. He sighed deeply, silently relishing her touch. His eyes glanced over at her as she kept hers fixated on the menu. He knew she was upset that he got into another fight. He’d seen her wipe a tear from her cheek as she grabbed his hand the second he got off stage and dragged him out of Whiskey a Go Go. She kept her head down and stayed silent as they walked across the street and into Donny’s Hollywood Diner.
He hated knowing the reason she was upset was because of something he did. She was all he had and he’d be damned if he screwed it up. Had they gone home right after the gig, she would have made him sleep on the couch. At least he had time there at Donny’s to make it up to her so that he could sleep in the bed with her.
He gently grabbed her hand from off his head and snaked his arm behind her, pulling him close to her. He used his fingers to rub her bare arms. She looked up from the menu and finally met his gaze. He removed the napkin from his nose.
“See? Wasn’t too bad,” he chuckled.
She cracked a small smile which put him at ease. He pressed a quick kiss to her temple.
“I’m sorry I upset you,” he said in a low voice. “And I’m sorry for fighting.”
She nodded understandingly. “The guy was being a douche anyway and it’s not like you started it.” She let out a playful dramatic sigh. “But I suppose I forgive you.”
He shook his head as she rests her head on his shoulder. He kissed the top of her head.
“So I guess that’s curtains for London, huh?” she asked.
Nikki nodded. “I’m gonna grab the paper. Be right back.”
She slid out to let him go through before taking back her seat. Dottie, the head waitress, drooped by with two waters.
“Remind me why you come here on your nights off?” she remarked playfully.
Y/N shrugged. “It’s our place. You know that.”
Dottie pat her shoulder and grabbed the menus off the table. “In that case I’ll just get you your usual.”
As she left, Nikki slid back into the booth and put his arm back around Y/N. He laid out the newspaper and went straight to classifieds.
Later Dottie set down the plate of toast on to the table. As Y/N ate Nikki focused on finding prospective new bandmastes,occasionally circling a few ads. At times Y/N handed Nikki a piece of toast which he took a quick bite of.
It was these quiet moments that Y/N lived for - her and Nikki in their favorite booth. Before they started dating, Y/N would watch him from the counter and dream of being able to be a part of his world. Usually he was searching for potential band members or writing songs. It was a few weeks later when one night Nikki caught her staring and offered for her to join him. She watched as he was writing a song, her stomach twisting into knots at the sight of him biting his bottom lip in deep thought.
Nikki’s eyes met hers and he nudged her. “You’re a creep.”
“An adorable creep thank you very much.” Her eyes glance down at an ad. “What about him? Guitarist with three years teaching experience?”
He made face before circling the ad. “Worth a shot I guess.”
“Love the optimism, babe.”
“You know me.”
Y/N rolled her eyes. “Such an ass.”
“Hey, that was badass dude.”
Y/N and Nikki looked up to see a tall, lanky kid with shaggy black hair standing there. He wore a leather jacket with a yellow shirt, leopard leggings, and a studded belt with two drum sticks tucked in.
“The show, not the nose but...” he trails off, a bit nervous. “Nose is pretty bad ass too.”
“The singer’s an asshole,” Nikki replies bluntly.
The kid’s eyes lit up. “I know, I saw. Hey, fuck him, though. He deserved it.”
Nikki just gave a nod before returning back to the newspaper. That wasn’t stopping the fanboy. He opened his mouth, desperate to keep the conversation going.
“I got your poster on my bedroom wall.”
Y/N and Nikki shot the giving the kid a look. Embarrassment came over him, his eyes closing for a moment. He sighed. “I can’t believe I just said that.”
“And yet you did,” Y/N remarked dryly.
“Take the fucking poster down, man,” Nikki snapped. “London’s over.”
As Nikki returned his attention back to the newspaper, Y/N watched the kid continue to stand there awkwardly. She gave him a lazy smile. “What’s your name?”
The kid perked up again. “Tommy. My name’s Tommy.”
“Well Tommy, why don’t sit with us?”
He made no hesitation to slide into the seat across from them. Y/N chuckled. “I guess that’s a yes then.”
Just then, Dottie returned. “Anything else I can get you, boys?”
“I’m good, thanks,” Y/N answered.
Nikki leaned over. “Could you get me a Jack and coke?”
Y/N shook her head as Dottie simply grinned at him. Nikki was the only person who could get away with ordering it. All the waitresses at Donny’s knew that.
Dottie then turned to Tommy. “And for you, hon?”
“Blueberry pancakes, please.”
When Dottie left, Nikki looked up at Tommy. “My new band is gonna be something nobody’s ever fucking seen before.”
He glances down at the newspaper and circles an ad. Y/N reads it.
Loud, rude aggressive lead guitarist sks working band. Xint equip, record credit and vocal ability. Call Mick 555-0121.
Just then a drumstick lands on the ad. Neither Nikki nor Y/N need to look up to know it’s Tommy.
“That dude looks pretty cool,” he commented.
Nikki’s lips curved into a tight, annoyed smile as Y/N took a sip of water, hoping he just lets it go.
“Do you carry those with you everywhere?” he asked, motioning to the drumstick.
Tommy sit back and started twirling the stick in his hand. “Yeah.”
The twirling speeds up, Y/N giving an impressed nod. “That’s actually pretty cool.”
“Where’d you learn to do that?” Nikki went on.
The twirling slows down as Tommy pouted a bit. “High school marching band.” He chuckled before quickly adding, “But hey, I rock too.”
Dottie returned with a large coke and a tiny bottle of Jack Daniels. Nikki took the bottle. “Thank you Dottie.”
“Only for you,” she winks before heading off.
Nikki takes the cap off and chugs the whole thing. Tommy watched in awe, letting out a “whoa”. Meanwhile, knowing damn well Nikki wasn’t going to drink the coke, Y/N took a sip and quietly claimed it.
Nikki smacked his lips and watched as Tommy twirled the drumsticks in his hand. His face slowly started to light up, interest peaking even more. He turned to Y/N who gave him a nod of approval.
The kid was in.
Outside of the diner, Nikki wrote down his address for Tommy for tomorrow’s jam session and guitarist audition.
As Nikki and Y/N started their walk home, Nikki wrapped an arm around her waist.
“At least we have a drummer. Just need a guitarist and a singer.” He looked over at her. “Know anyone?”
“Sadly no.”
“Really? No musical talents you’ve hidden from me?”
“Nope,” she said popping the “p”. She then stopped. “Wait a sec. I just remembered I do have a couple talents.”
Nikki pulled her closer to him, eyes gazing down at her as he caressed her cheeks. “Is that so?”
She hummed, leaning her head up toward him. “Problem is, I can only perform them without any clothes on.”
His face inched closer to her. “I don’t see a problem with that.”
He then brushed his lips against hers. It starts off gentle and lingering, almost too innocent for even the most vanilla of kisses. It’s not long until before they each want more and that’s when the heat rises and the kisses get sloppier.
Y/N pulled away and grabbed a hold of his hand. “C’mon lover boy.”
It’s then Nikki picks her up and throws her over his shoulder, gently smacking her ass. She burst out laughing as they made their way back to their apartment and into the bedroom.

Lost Cat (Plz Help)
Thanks to @lamp-calm-sanders for pointing out that my formatting was wack. I typed on mobile but edited and posted on my laptop because mobile formatting sucks ass.
Moxiety Strangers Texting
The sky was fittingly overcast as Virgil trudged down the sidewalk; the stack of “MISSING” posters under his left arm shifted uncomfortably and he sighed, adjusting for the fifth time to make sure the sheets didn’t spill out onto the concrete. He approached a wooden telephone pole and pulled out a poster, sticking it to the post with a thumbtack and another sigh.
MISSING
Oogie Boogie (called Oobie)
Runaway idiot; return ASAP
Is not an outdoor cat and has claws
$725 reward
Please contact 555-8473
He stared longingly at the photo of his cat, his already big eyes wide as he sat upright (for once) and staring at the phone camera. It’d been three days since Oobie (short for Oogie Boogie) vanished, and Virgil was starting to worry. Well, more than normal. The chubby, beige feline was 99% an indoor cat, and usually he just popped outside to investigate the backyard before sauntering back through the sliding glass door like he was too good for the world outside his walls and all the creatures therein (or really there-out.)
Last Sunday, though, Virgil had left the back door open for Oobie because he was in a rush to get to his study session with Logan Patterson, another astronomy fan in his intro. course whose company he found quite companionable. In his haste, he’d left it open all afternoon and into the evening and returned to find Oobie had not.
The absence of a pet is always a difficult experience, but for Virgil missing Oobie was downright painful. Oobie was Virgil’s emotional support animal; the sassy cat could sense and respond to Virgil’s shifts in mood easier than he could chase down the occasional cat nip gifts Virgil brought home. Without Oobie, Virgil could survive, but life was emptier and that much more difficult to deal with.
Virgil jumped and nearly dropped the precariously placed posters when his phone buzzed in his back pocket. He reached around, praying it was a call from Oobie’s rescuer.
[+1 555-6666]
I saw you cat. I hope it didn’t suffer. Too much.
“What the HELL?!” Virgil gasped audibly and blocked the number, taking deep breaths. People sucked sometimes.
His phone buzzed again.
[+1 555-3345]
I’m looking for my cat, too. Please let me know if you get any leads on a calico.
Virgil bit his lips but exhaled slowly.
[+1 555-8473]
Sure.
[+1 555-3345]
Thanks.
Useless. Virgil debated flicking his phone to silent mode but decided against it for the greater good. He scowled when the phone buzzed incessantly as he went to put it back in his pocket; he set down the posters and took out the phone, brows raising at the volume and content of messages from the number.
[+1 555-7188]
Are you still looking for your cat?!
[+1 555-7188]
I’m so sorry he’s missing.
[+1 555-7188]
Unless you found him, which if you did, congrats!
[+1 555-7188]
But if not I hope you find him soon!
[+1 555-7188]
And I can help you look if you still are!
[+1 555-7188]
My name is Patton, by the way. I’m a vet student, not a creeper; I promise! 😊
Virgil laughed roughly, bewildered at the stream of messages, before replying.
[+1 555-8473]
Hi Patton; I’m Virgil (though you probably already know that from the missing posters.) Psych student. Yeah, I’m still looking for Oobie. I don’t need help, really. Just keep an eye and ear out? Maybe spread the word? Thanks so much for the offer and interest.
Patton replied instantly.
[+1 555-7188]
Can do! Good luck! 💙
Virgil chuckled; Patton had to be the bubbliest person he’d come into contact with, in person and otherwise. He finally pocketed his phone and continued around the combined commercial and residential area, silently praying someone would call about Oobie soon.
-
Virgil stumbled through his door around 6pm, emotionally wrecked and exhausted from his day. The calico owner had texted him hourly, finally stopping after they announced it’d been found. Virgil hadn’t replied.
He set his empty box of thumbtacks on the coffee table and collapsed onto his couch, reclining so that he was almost laying down, and he stared sadly at the ceiling. Normally, Oobie would jump on his chest and stare him down until he fed him dinner or gave him a treat. He never thought he’d miss that.
His eyes filled, and he swiped a sleeve over his face, grimacing when his phone buzzed. One more false lead or asshole, and he was calling the cops.
[+1 555-7188]
Hey, it’s Patton! Any luck today?
[+1 555-8473]
No. Still trying. Lots of assholes, false leads, and other desperate pet owners.
[+1 555-7188]
I’m so sorry, Virgil. I can check with the local shelters and animals control centers. I volunteer at the local shelter to get experience for my program, so I’ll help you out there!
[+1 555-8473]
Wow, thanks so much, Patton.
[+1 555-7188]
Of course.
A few minutes of silence passed, and his phone buzzed just as he flicked on his TV and laptop.
[+1 555-7188]
So you’re a psych student?
Virgil sighed.
[+1 555-8473]
Yeah. I’m a senior, so Oobie is pretty important to me right now.
[+1 555-7188]
Me, too! Probably not at the same school, though. I was at the local Tech. School before I transferred for this vet program.
[+1 555-8473]
Why is Oobie so important right now? Because being your best friend, of course!
[+1 555-8473]
Nice.
...
I have an anxiety disorder, and Oobie is my emotional support animal.
[+1 555-7188]
Oh, wow! I’ve heard of that, but I haven’t met anyone who actually has one. That is a real bummer; I really hope he comes home soon!
[+1 555-8473]
Me, too.
[+1 555-7188]
So what’s your favorite part of psych? I took an intro. class as a gen. Ed. Requirement, but I liked it a lot!
[+1 555-8473]
Either abnormal or behavioral. The human brain is just wild. Neuropsych is cool, too.
[+1 555-7188]
Why those?
[+1 555-8473]
They helped me understand myself. Once we hit the surface, I went deep and saw everything I related to. It was interesting and has helped me grow a lot.
[+1 555-7188]
That’s awesome! I’m so glad it’s been a useful experience for you.
[+1 555-8473]
Yeah. What about you? Why vet school?
[+1 555-7188]
I’ll admit. The science part of it was and is really hard, but I love the animals so much! It’s worth it! I love knowing that I help animals AND their humans!
[+1 555-8473]
That’s really nice of you
[+1 555-7188]
😊
Virgil and Patton went back and forth for a while longer, discussing future plans and majors until Patton needed to pay attention in class. Virgil finally set down his phone and scrolled through Hulu, trying to find another distraction to fill the loneliness.
-
A full week went by with no word on Oobie. Virgil was starting to loose hope, and he began to accept that he might have to find a new companion.
Sunday afternoon found him slumped in Starbucks, scrolling through his phone and looking at shelters in the area when a message popped up at the top of the screen. He hit it.
[+1 555-7188]
Hi, Virgil! It’s Patton! Seeing as it’s been a week since Oobie took a vacation, I just wanted to check in and see if there’s been any progress.
Virgil sighed. He was glad, in a way, for Patton’s concern, but he was also annoyed with the reminder and admittance of Oobie’s absence.
[+1 555-8473]
Nope, no dice. He’s still chillin in paradise somewhere.
[+1-555-7188]
Oh, no!! I’m so sorry to hear that. I can keep checking in with the local shelters and animals control centers between classes and shifts.
[+1-555-8473]
Thank you.
Virgil pinched his brow and took a breath. Oobie needed to get his little asshole self home soon.
-
Buzz buzz buzz buzz
Virgil groaned and rolled over, picking up his phone and blinking blankly at his screen until he recognized the number.
“Hello?”
“Virgil!” A tone that was far too chipper for 5am made him bite back a groan. “It’s Patton! I think my classmate found Oobie!”
Virgil’s heart pounded and he sat up slowly.
“Where?”
“She volunteers at the Akron Street Animal Shelter. She just texted me and said an older woman and her caretaker brought in a cat that matches Oobie’s description.”
“Akron is a couple minutes from here.” Virgil pushed himself out of bed and pulled on sweatpants and a hoodie. “That could be him. Thank you so much, Patton.”
“Absolutely! I gotta go; good luck!” Beep beep beep
Virgil grabber Oobie’s carrying case and his keys and set off for the shelter, arriving in just minutes.
“Hey.” He panted as he approached the desk. “I....Patton just called me about a cat.”
“Patton?” The desk clerk looked him over quizzically, and then he remembered.
“He volunteers somewhere else. I-whatever. I heard you just got a white cat from an old lady.”
“Oh, yes. He’s likely still being examined for injury or illness, so please take a seat. I’ll go see if they’re at a point where you can see him. If he’s yours, I’ll have a few discharge forms for you.”
“Thanks.” Virgil sank into the closest chair and breathed, trying to calm his racing pulse.
“Sir?” A vet. tech. with bright pink scrubs and a dark ponytail smiled at him. “You can come see him. Did Patton send you?”
“Yeah.” Virgil rose and offered a weary smile. “Thank you so much for calling him. I’m Virgil, by the way.”
“Valerie.” She gestured down the hall and walked with him. “Second door to the left here-“ She opened the door, freeing the once muffled meows into the hallway, and Virgil absorbed the mass of white fur and big blue eyes in front of him. Virgil’s eyes instantly filled with tears, and he laughed wetly.
“Yup, that’s Oobie.” He set down the cat carrier and went to the table, reaching out a rusted hand for Oobie to inspect. The cat sniffed briefly before bumping his head against his knuckles and purring loudly. “Hey, buddy. Is he okay?”
“Nothing we could find. Seems like he just wandered off. The woman said she found him harassing the birds in her bird bath.”
“Sounds right.” Virgil scooped Oobie off of the table and into his embrace, and the normally stubborn creature melted into his arms, settling easily over his forearms and purring loudly. “Thank you so much.”
“Absolutely!” Valerie beamed. “I’m so glad we could help! Patton will be thrilled.” She laughed. “You can stay here and visit with Oobie; I’ll get the discharge paper work and make sure we don’t need to do anything else.”
“Thanks.” Virgil settled Oobie back on the table; the cat mewed in protest, but Virgil rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone. Taking Oobie back in one hand, Virgil snapped a quick selfie.
[+1 555-8473]
Success.
[+1 555-7188]
OMG YAY!!!!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!!!!! IM LITERALLY CRYING!!!!
Big, framed brown eyes and chestnut brown hair filled Virgil’s screen, and his heart skipped a bit. He hadn’t expected Patton to be so....
[+1 555-8473]
Only tears of happiness, I hope
[+1 555-7188]
Of course!
Virgil smiled.
[+1 555-8473]
Thank you so so much for helping me get my little buddy back.
Virgil bit his lip.
[+1 555-8473]
I’d love to pay you back. Coffee? On me?
[Patton🐶]
I’d love to.
[Virgil💜]
Awesome.
Hope you liked it! Mobile version looks a lot better.

Summary: getting close on finding her cousin Denise Ames, Dr.Nicky Ransom having these weird dreams..what does this mean? Is this the way this mystery man works..?
Word count: over 1,000
Warning ⚠️: 18+ only, smut,dreams,etc.
Characters: Dr.Nicky Ransom (female reader) x Chris Evans
Cousin (Denise Ames)
Chapter4:
It’s dark and cold. You feel the cave floor beneath your body as you come out of your dream.
You open your eyes, even though they feel heavy.
Beside you, you see Chris pushing at the rubble on top of him. Then, to your shock, he removes the wreckage with ease, as if it weighed nothing.
“Chris?” Nicky answered in shock.
He crouched near you, looking completely unharmed.
“Sleep, Nicky. Sleep.” Chris answered softly.
You fall back into darkness. When you wake up, you’re in a unfamiliar bed.
“Nicky!” Chris answered. Chris appears above you, his face worried. Slowly, you sit up.
“Chris... What happened?. We were in that cave. And you were hurt! How are you not hurt? Nicky answered amazed and confused.
“Sshh, it’s all right, Nicky. We’re at the hospital. A rescue team came for us an hour or two ago.” Chris answered calmly.
“What? But we didn’t have a cell phone reception.” Nicky answered confused.
“You didn’t, but I was able to find a phone, and I did.” Chris answered.
“Wait, but you were totally crushed under the rocks! You should be injured. Nicky answered worried. Chris chuckles with a shake of his head. “No, I’m fine. Just some light bruising, according to the doctors.”
“What? But you said- “Nicky answered still confused.
“I’m all right, Nicky. I would be more concerned about your own well-being right now. How are you feeling? “ Chris answered.
“I’m...confused. I- I could have sworn I saw...”Nicky answered.
“A lot happened, and I think you hit your head as well.” Chris answered.
“What? No, I didn’t hit my head.” Nicky answered.
“You did.” Chris answered.
Chris looks firm, insistent. He’s hiding something from me.
An hour or so later, you’ve checked out of the hospital.
“All checked out?” Chris spoke.
“You waited for me? “Nicky answered in amazement.
“Of course. How else would I give you a ride?” Chris answered with a smile.
“Chris... that’s not necessary.” Nicky answered.
“I know it’s not, but that’s beside the point.”Chris answered warmly.
“But I have a car.” Nicky answered.
“You don’t. You left it back at the property, remember?” Chris answered.
Oh, he’s right.
“So, let me at least give you a ride back to your car, if anything else. Please,Nicky. I feel like all this is partially my fault. At least let me make it up to you.” Chris answered.
His piercing blue eyes are soft and sweet. Open in a way you haven’t seen before.
What should I do? Let Chris give me a ride.
“Okay.” Nicky answered blushing. “Thank you. I appreciate it.”
“It’s my pleasure. Shall we?” Chris answered.
Chris escorts you outside where a sleek black car is waiting.
“So,Nicky, why don’t you tell me more about yourself? Chris answered.
“What exactly do you want to know?” Nicky answered.
“Anything. How about something small. What’s your favorite color?” Chris answered.
“Seriously?” Nicky answered with a smile.
“Well, we have to start somewhere.”Chris answered.
“Fine, it’s...blue. I grew up next to the ocean, after all.” Nicky answered.
“Lovely. Though, I’d think you’d prefer something more fiery than blue.” Chris answered.
You stop, remembering the fire in your dream.
“Um. Well, I don’t.” Nicky answered blushing slightly. “What about you?”
“Hm. Yellow.” Chris answered.
“Yellow? I figured yWith your big gothic mansion you’d at least say black.” Nicky answered in shock.
“I suppose it is odd.” Chris answered with a smile. “ it was my mother’s favorite color. She loved sunlight. Bright colors.”
“Oh. That’s really nice, actually.” Nicky answered amazed.
“Hm.” Chris hummed.
The rest of the ride is spent comfortable silence, and soon you’re in a familiar clearing.
“Here you are, Nicky.” Chris answered.
“What about Denise?” Nicky answered concerned.
“I think for now you should be focus on resting. I’ll call you when I have more information on Denise.” Chris answered. “Until next time.”
Chris leaves you to your car, and you quickly make your way home. You’re exhausted, and you pass out for the night.
The next morning, you wince as you weight on your ankle, but it’s manageable. You’re determined to keep busy.
Especially because if I don’t , I’ll keep thinking about that dream...
As you’re getting your mail late that afternoon, however...
“Huh?” Nicky spoke.
A postcard drops for the stack of envelopes.
This is Denise’s handwriting!
The Marina Blanca Motel
“They change their clime, not their disposition, who run across the sea.”
Dr.Ransom
555 Calrgo Street,
San Francisco, CA
“They change their clime, not their disposition, who run across the sea.”
He quote means nothing to you.
That’s ....weird. She must’ve meant something by this, but I can’t begin to guess what. And it’s postmarked this past Friday! Maybe Denise’s still there!
Before you even know what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and dialed Chris’s number.
He said he wanted to help find Denise. That’s the only reason I’m calling him.
“Hello?” Chris answered on the phone.
“Chris!. It’s Nicky Ransom. I think I might have a lead on Denise.” Nicky spoke into the phone. “She sent me a postcard last Friday from the Marina Blanca Motel.”
“Oh, thank God! What did she say? Chris answered.
“Not much, honestly. Just same quote: “They change their clime, not their disposition, who run across the sea”. Nicky answered.
The other end of the line falls oddly silent.
“Does that mean anything to you? Nicky spoke into the phone.
“Ah...no. No, I’m afraid it doesn’t. I’m sorry.”Chris answered.
“Well, it looks like the motel’s not far. Im going to drive up tonight and see if she’s still there.” Nicky answered determined.
“No, I will. We don’t know who she’s with or what state she’s in. It may not be safe.” Chris answered worried.
“Chris .... she’s my cousin. I have way more stake in this than you.” Nicky answered. “If Denise needs help, I am not staying behind. Nicky answered back.
“Nicky, I don’t want to put you in danger.” Chris answered.
He really thinks I can’t handle myself. I should... be him to let me go.
“Chris, please. “ Nicky answered. “Denise is my only family. I need to be there for her.”
Chris sighs heavily.
“Fine. I’ll pick you up in an hour. Chris answered.
“Sounds good. See you then. Nicky answered.
After tossing a dew essentials into an overnight bag- just in case- you look in your closet.
Man, it’s looking sparse in here. I really need to...go shopping. I’m going to need to do some serious retail therapy after we get Denise back, anyway.
You shake your head.
That’s a worry for another day. Okay. It’s going to be chilly at the beach this time of year. I should wear something warm. Maybe something cute, too, since Chris is going to see me in it.
I’ll pick something...comfy. Comfort is paramount.
Chris picks you up shortly after sunset.
“Ready to go?” Chris answered.
“Absolutely.” Nicky answered.
And with that, the two of you are off.
Two hours later, you and Chris are at the reception desk of the Marina Blanca Motel, lumping the night manager for information.
Though it seems like she’d be open to an altogether different kind of pumping.
“Well, now . Let’s see here...”night manager spoke.
She bends over slightly providing an excellent view of her cleavage.
“What did you say your friend’s name was, again, sweetheart?” Night manger answered.
Chris leans against the desk, flashing her a dazzling smile.
How can he make his eyes literally twinkle on command? It’s... impressive. There no way he hasn’t practiced this in a mirror!
“Denise Ames. Mid-twenties, bright hair, about 5’4?” Chris answered.
“She may have been with someone who looks a lot like Chris, here. “Nicky answered.
“Oh I do remember something that look like that, he was easy on the eyes.” Night manager answered.
She types something into the computer.
“Here we go! Your girl Che led into room 312 under the name “Alicia Kenner.” She hasn’t checked out yet.” Night manager spoke.
“Fantastic. Thanks for all your help.” Chris answered.
“Let me know if you need anything else.” Night manager answered.
Chris gives her a wink, and she giggles.
Wow. His effect on women is..kind of handy, actually. I wouldn’t have gotten nearly that much out of her on my own. I wonder if he’d tag along and flirt me up faster service the next time I go to the DMV!
You head up to the room 312, and knock on the door.
“Nothing.” Nicky answers.
You knock again, louder, but there’s still no answer.
“I don’t see a red Porsche in the parking lot. Maybe there’re out? Chris answered. “Since she hasn’t checked out, we can only assume she’ll be back.”
“Sure, but what do we do until the ?” Nicky answered.
“It’s a nice night for a long walk on the beach.” Chris answered with a smile.
For a moment you consider objecting, but it has been ages since you’ve set foot on a beach.
“You know what? That’s sounds like a great idea.” Nicky answered with a smile.
You climb down a set of weather-beaten wooden stairs to the sand.
“Dr. Ransom?” Chris answered. He offers you his arm like the hero in some period romance.
“Chris, you’re so..cheesy.” Nicky answered laughing.
“Cheesy,” or “utterly charming”? Chris answered with a smile.
A pretty irresistible combination of both if I’m being perfectly honest.
You thread your arm through his.
“Let’s go with “utterly charming because of your quirks.” Nicky answered smiling.
“I’ll take it.” Chris answered warmly.
The pair of you set out along the water. The cool, salty breeze off the Pacific makes you shiver, and you cling more tightly to Chris.
“Are you cold?” Chris answered.
“A little.” Nicky answered shyly.
“I think I can fix that.” Chris answered.
Gently, he pulls you against his warm, toned body.
He smells just as good as he did in my dream.
“Better?” Chris answered.
“Better.” Nicky answered. “ I can’t even remember the last time I was on the beach.”
“Oh?” Chris answered .
“Hm. Yeah, I think the last time was when...” Your breath catches in your throat.
“When...?” Chris answered.
“Ah. When my sister was alive.” Nicky answered sadly.
Chris stops in his tracks, staring at you sadly. “You had a sister?” Chris answered with shock. “Yeah. She was... she was the best. But then something horrible happened to her. She was with a guy. I never met him, but he was into a bunch of bad stuff. He changed her.” She started acting...well, a lot like how Denise was acting before she disappeared. And then she. Well, they said it was suicide.” Nicky answered sadly. Chris places a hand on your shoulder, warm and comforting.
“I’m sorry, Nicky.” Chris answered sadly.
“It’s fine. It’s just that this whole thing with Denise is like reliving all that.” Nicky answered sadly.
Ever since I lost my sister, looking at that vast ocean just made me feel too helpless. Too alone.
But somehow, you don’t feel alone with Chris by your side.
I wonder if... he’s lonely. He doesn’t seem to have many friends from what I can tell. I wonder why he lives that way.
You look at the clam, dark water.
“When I was a kid, I used to have amazing dreams about riding wild horses on a beach like this.” Nicky answered.
“Did you ever get to? In real life, I mean.” Chris answered.
“Wild horses aren’t exactly thick on the ground in Northern California. I’ve never had a chance to ride a horse at all, actually.” Nicky answered.
“There’s still time.” Chris answered with a smile.
“Maybe...” Nicky answered smiling back.
Chris picks up a stone and flings it overhand into the ocean.
“What did you dream of as a kid? “Nicky answered.
“Nothing. I’ve never dreamed.” Chris answered.
“Of course you have. It’s what the brain does while we sleep.” Nicky answered. “Some people can’t remember their dreams, but everyone has them.”
Chris smiles sadly. “That must be it, then. I guess I’ve just never remembered them.”
“It doesn’t have to stay that way! There are so many techniques that can help you remember your dreams.” Nicky answered.
“No, it’s all right. I’ve been without them all my life. I’m used to it.”Chris answered.
Something in his eyes looks resigned. Heartbroken, even.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was a sore spot.” Nicky answered sadly.
“Don’t worry, Nicky. I’m all right.” Chris answered with a smile.
His smile doesn’t reach his eyes.
“I’m used to handling things on my own, after all.” Chris answered.
You don’t say anything, and Chris smiles down at you. Once again, that smile doesn’t reach his eyes. Your heart clenches with a powerful desire to hold him.
You barely know this man, Nicky. Chill out.
“We, um,... We should head back to the motel. See if Denise is back.” Nicky answered.
But come midnight, Denise’s room is till empty.
You and Chris secure a pair of adjoining rooms down the hall from 312.
Nothing left to do now but wait her out. Good thing I packed an overnight bag.
You slip between the clean sheets and let sleep overcome you.
You dream of walking along the beach at twilight, the white sand sparking like diamonds beneath you feet.
It’s beautiful here. Peaceful.
But just as soon you’ve said so....
A storm rolls in over the waves. A bolt of fear strikes your heart.
Oh no! I need to find shelter!
But there’s nowhere to hide.
“Nicky...”
That voice...I know that voice... who are you? And what do you want from me?
“Don��t fight it, Nicky.”
The storm. He means don’t fight the storm. I can’t explain how I know that, but somehow I’ve never been surer of anything in my life.
Oh close your eyes, allowing the storm to overcome you...and it clams as quickly as it began. In place of thunder, you hear...
Hoofbeats?
You open your eyes to find the beach overrun with wild horses.
Horses! There must be hundreds of them!
A riser appears on a horse as grey as mist. You gaze up at the horseman.
“What do you want?” Nicky answered.
But he doesn’t reply, instead turning to look behind him as another rider approaches on a bright red mare.
Is that ...me?
The horseman pulls her into a passionate kiss.
This is..awkward.
You flush, averting your eyes from the display of intimacy. The woman in red slips fro her mount, her feet landing softly on the glittering sand. She ,owes toward you, smiling warmly.
“Do you know who you are?” Woman in red spoke.
“I...do. I know exactly who I am.” Nicky answered.
“ I never doubted you!” Woman in red answered.
She extends a hand to you in silent invitation. As soon as your fingers touch, the two of you merge into one.
“Oh!” Nicky yelled.
Chris reaches out to you.
No. Not yet.
You swing yourself onto the red mare.
“Let’s see how fast we can go!” Nicky squealed in excitement.
You spur her on, the wind whipping at your hair as you gallop through the surf. The horseman gives chase, laughing merrily. He means to catch you. You want him to catch you.
I’ll fall into his arms.
You slow your mare, smiling at the horseman in invitation. He accepts it gladly, seizing you about the waist to pull you astride his lap.
“Oh!” Nicky squealed.
“Nicky..” Chris answered warmly.
He seals his mouth over yours. You surrender willingly winding your arms around his neck. His kisses trail lower, down your throat...
Yes...
....and across the swell of your breasts. He tugs gown aside, and you gasp as he captures a nipple in his mouth.
“Ah!” Nicky squealed.
You squirm in his lap as he suckles you, feeling him grow hard beneath you.
“I want you, Nicky.” Chris answered with his deep raspy voice.
He slides from the saddle and lifts you down after him, bearing you gently to the sand. He kisses you deeply, pinning you beneath his powerful body. You’re reminded abruptly another kiss, and a dream of fire and pleasure.
It’s the same.
You raise your had to cup the horseman’s cheek.
“I know you. I...know your voice. I would know it anywhere.” Nicky answered holding his face.
He ducks his head to kiss you again, his hands roaming your body. You writhe beneath him feverish with desire.
I want him, too. I’ll cherish each touch as we make love.
You moan impatiently, pressing yourself into the horseman’s touch.
“So eager,Nicky?” Chris answered heavily.
“Please. I want you.” Nicky answered blushing hot.
He smiles, delighted by your wantonness.
“And you’ll have me.”Chris answered warmly.
He rains kisses on your neck and breasts as he pushes your skirt up around your hips... and plunges his cock into you aching heat.
“Ah!” Nicky squealed.
Your nails scrabble at his back as he thrusts inside you, deep and hard.
“Oh, Nicky..” Chris answered heavily.
He slides a hand down to tease you, feel all of you, and your back arches as you lose yourself in pleasure.
Oh, Chris...
You jolt awake. The sharp knocking that woke you sounds again.
That was a hell of a dream....
You flush, vividly aware of who you thought about as you came.
I’m .... not gonna examine this dream too closely, either.
You slip out of bed and open the door that adjoins Chris’s room, where he stands poised to knock again.
“We need to go, I’ve just had word from a friend in San Francisco. Denise came home.”Chris answered.

Sell Your House
- Most likely to Realtor.com and research study residences that are to buy in your area. Once more, if there isn't much information, then call the agent up as well as ask for some info about the house.
- Have a look at zillow as well as cyberhomes and see what they develop as values for your home. Additionally, the comps that they detail, drive past your homes to contrast a minimum of the outside of your house as well as the marketed home. (I would not put as much weight on these 2 websites, yet there is certainly even more details right here for you.).
Currently, you must have a great concept of what you can sell your residence for. Incidentally, when considering public records, compensations from representatives and places like zillow and also cyberhomes you only truly wish to take a look at marketed residences within the past 6 months. Some individuals will inform you to return a year, yet I assume that's also too far. Truthfully, in this market, I 'd say look at them in the past 3 months!
OK so you have a value in mind. Well I require you to be truthful with on your own about the worth as well as how you thought of it, OK? Does the worth suggest a home that remains in excellent problem and your house isn't that excellent? Does the value show a fixer-upper rate and also your home doesn't need any kind of work? Those are the things you have to think about when getting the comps from all of your sources above.
Make note of the problem as well as place of every one of the compensations that you obtain from your sources above then you have to HONESTLY contrast it to your house. Truthfully being the key phrase right here. If your house smells like dog, well confess that to on your own and know that it's going to lower the price of your home. If your home is right next to an active railroad track, well do not overlook the apparent and also know that it will lower the price of your residence as well. If your residence is completely trashed and requires a lot of job, please, please, please do not think that you are going to get possibly a pair thousand less than what an immaculate home sold for. That is UNREALISTIC!
And constantly keep in mind the kind of property market we are in. Now at the writing of this uploading, below in Pennsylvania we remain in a BUYERS MARKET. Please identify that and change your game plan (and also more importantly) your reasoning appropriately. If you do not readjust your game plan and thinking accordingly, think me your house will certainly sit there and it will NOT market (until you come to your senses.).
Market Your Home Like Crazy Your house being up for sale at the prefect rate does not mean anything if nobody on the planet recognizes that it's up for sale, does it?
So below's what you require to do to market your house and to inform the entire world that it's available for sale.
- Burst out your electronic camera, mobile phone, non reusable camera or what you have and take images of your residence. Outdoors front, back, side, yard, living area, dining-room, cooking area, etc. you understand. If you have a video camera, you can do a walk-through of your area with a camera too. The pictures are a REQUIREMENT however the video clip is not. Post them to your computer system and resize them since you're mosting likely to need them in future actions.
- Area an available check in your front yard as well as rear and also side lawns if you have them. Right here's where I obtain mine. See to it you get the 18 x 24's as well as ensure you get some metal risks (get extra to make use of in the following step) so you can stick them right into the ground. Incidentally, please do not under any conditions fail to remember to place your phone number on your indications when you obtain them home. (Appears ridiculous to claim that doesn't it? However some people have done it.).
- Now below is a strategy that will obtain your phone to sound off the hook of possible buyers. You need to buy anywhere from 10 to 50 empty corrugated plastic indications. They need to be 18 x 12 in dimension and they can be any type of shade you desire, but white possibly works the best as well as is the most affordable. After you get them home you'll require to obtain a thick, black, permanent marker. When you have that you wish to write in your very own handwriting with the marker on the signs the following:.
3 bed/2 bath House Should Sell! Pottstown Location, $150k 610-555-1212.
Naturally, you're going to transform out the info above with your appropriate details for your home. If you home is a fixer upper try something such as this:.
3 bed/2 bathroom Demands Function! Have To Sell Rapidly. Location, Rate, Telephone Number.
You can utilize any combination of phrasing, however make it seem URGENT that you require to offer. Currently you need to place these signs all over your area. Place them at popular intersections, at preferred stores (like Walmart, WaWa, and so on) and simply placed them in rush hour locations. You desire additionals because several of these will get taken down, some will blow away as well as some will certainly just become unclean and also ugly so you'll wish to replace them with fresh ones. I assure you that you will certainly get phone calls.

Mummified leaves offer a glimpse of Earth’s ancient climate—and our future
New Zealand, where the fossilized leaves were found (Tyler Lastovich/Pexels/)
23 million-year-old mummified leaves might give us a peak at how plants might respond to our changing climate in the distant future. In a study published on August 20 in the journal Climate of the Past, Biologists and geologists examined exceptionally well-preserved fossils from a lakebed in New Zealand and found evidence that they thrived in a time when the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was higher than it is today. Compared with those of modern plants in similar environments, the ancient leaves may have absorbed carbon dioxide more efficiently while minimizing water loss.
“Leaves are in direct contact with the atmosphere all the time…a plant is not like an animal; it can’t hide from the elements,” says Tammo Reichgelt, a geologist at the University of Connecticut and a coauthor of the new findings. “It’s really sensitive to changes in the atmosphere.”
The fossils he and his colleagues examined date back to the early Miocene Epoch, a time when Earth was toastier and the North Pole had no icecap. During this period, subtropical rainforests grew in New Zealand. At Foulden Maar, a volcanic crater north of Dunedin, conditions were just right to create a unique opportunity to preserve leaves from these forests. Unlike a typical lake, which is formed when water flows from a river into a depression, the crater left by an explosive eruption at Foulden Maar was fed only by rain and groundwater. Without the constant disruption of inflowing river water, this lake acquired a layer of stagnant water with very little oxygen.
One of the fossilized leaves found in an ancient former lake bed in New Zealand (Jennifer Bannister/University of Otago/)
“If something organic like a leaf or an insect falls into the lake and just makes its way to the bottom…it will just remain undisturbed because nothing is living down there that could decompose that leaf,” Reichgelt says. “So in that very special kind of environment, you get this amazing preservation where…they’re basically mummified because all of their original organic material is still there.”
He and his colleagues examined 72 fossilized leaves representing 18 tree species from the sediments of Foulden Maar. When they inspected slivers under the microscope, they saw that the leaves had relatively few stomata, which are the pores through which gases enter or leave. Plants must open these pores to take in carbon dioxide, but when they do a little water leaks out. That means when carbon dioxide levels are high, a plant can get by with fewer stomata.
“If plants are capable of losing less water while still getting all the carbon they need, it means they are effectively more drought-tolerant, so they can expand their range into areas that would otherwise be too dry,” Reichgelt says. The limited pores on the fossil leaves therefore suggest that they evolved in an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide.
Additional evidence for these conditions came from the chemical composition of the leaves. There are several kinds of carbon (called isotopes) floating around in the atmosphere. The most common isotope, carbon-12, is also the lightest. “Because carbon-13 is heavy it moves around less easily, the plant will only take that up if it’s short on carbon,” Reichgelt says. Reichgelt and his colleagues found plenty of carbon-12 in the leaves and very little of its slightly bulkier cousin, carbon-13, which suggests the plants had plenty of carbon dioxide available. “When you compare the combination of the type of carbon that it took up and the number of pores that the leaf has, you can make a pretty accurate reconstruction of the amount of carbon dioxide that the leaf had available to it.”
The researchers estimated that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere at the time were between 450 and 555 parts per million (or ppm), which aligns well with the warmer temperatures seen during that chapter of Earth’s history. For comparison, during the preindustrial period carbon dioxide levels were less than 300 ppm. Today they are over 400 ppm, and by 2040 carbon dioxide levels are expected to hit 450 ppm.
The glut of carbon dioxide is currently fueling plant growth around the world, but this fertilization effect doesn’t mean that plants will fix all our climate change-related problems. Future plants may evolve to take advantage of these conditions and expand their habitats, but Reichgelt says “that’s way, way in the future.”
For now, plants must contend with deforestation and the destabilizing effects of rapidly shifting environmental conditions. In the near future, these forces will put stress on plants, making it all the more important for us to limit the amount of carbon dioxide that we pump into the atmosphere.

How about.. moxiety :) virgil lost his cat and patton wants to make sure he got them back!
Y E S Moxiety was my first thought, but I had ideas for others, too. Here we go! It’s a liiiiiitttle lengthy, so I’ll add a read more.
The sky was fittingly overcast as Virgil trudged down the sidewalk; the stack of “MISSING” posters under his left arm shifted uncomfortably and he sighed, adjusting for the fifth time to make sure the sheets didn’t spill out onto the concrete. He approached a wooden telephone pole and pulled out a poster, sticking it to the post with a thumbtack and another sigh.
MISSINGOogie Boogie (called Oobie)Runaway idiot; return ASAP Is not an outdoor cat and has claws $725 reward Please contact 555-8473
He stared longingly at the photo of his cat, his already big eyes wide as he sat upright (for once) and staring at the phone camera. It’d been three days since Oobie (short for Oogie Boogie) vanished, and Virgil was starting to worry. Well, more than normal. The chubby, beige feline was 99% an indoor cat, and usually he just popped outside to investigate the backyard before sauntering back through the sliding glass door like he was too good for the world outside his walls and all the creatures therein (or really there-out.)
Last Sunday, though, Virgil had left the back door open for Oobie because he was in a rush to get to his study session with Logan Patterson, another astronomy fan in his intro. course whose company he found quite companionable. In his haste, he’d left it open all afternoon and into the evening and returned to find Oobie had not.
The absence of a pet is always a difficult experience, but for Virgil missing Oobie was downright painful. Oobie was Virgil’s emotional support animal; the sassy cat could sense and respond to Virgil’s shifts in mood easier than he could chase down the occasional cat nip gifts Virgil brought home. Without Oobie, Virgil could survive, but life was emptier and that much more difficult to deal with.
Virgil jumped and nearly dropped the precariously placed posters when his phone buzzed in his back pocket. He reached around, praying it was a call from Oobie’s rescuer.
[+1 555-6666] I saw you cat. I hope it didn’t suffer. Too much.
“What the HELL?!” Virgil gasped audibly and blocked the number, taking deep breaths. People sucked sometimes.
His phone buzzed again.
[+1 555-3345] I’m looking for my cat, too. Please let me know if you get any leads on a calico.
Virgil bit his lips but exhaled slowly.
[+1 555-8473]Sure
[+1 555-3345] Thanks.
Useless. Virgil debated flicking his phone to silent mode but decided against it for the greater good. He scowled when the phone buzzed incessantly as he went to put it back in his pocket; he set down the posters and took out the phone, brows raising at the volume and content of messages from the number.
[+1 555-7188] Are you still looking for your cat?![+1 555-7188] I’m SO sorry he’s missing!![+1 555-7188] Unless you found him, which if you did, congrats!!!!!
[+1 555-7188] But if not I hope you find him soon!!
[+1 555-7188] And I can help you look if you still are![+1 555-7188] My name is Patton, by the way! I’m a vet student, not a creeper; I promise!
Virgil laughed roughly, bewildered at the stream of messages, before replying.
[+1 555-8473]Hi Patton, I’m Virgil (though you probably already know that from the missing posters.) Psych student Yeah I’m still looking for Oobie. I don’t need help, really. Just keep an eye and ear out? Maybe spread the word? Thanks so much for the offer and interest.
Patton replied instantly.
[+1 555-7188] Can do! Good luck!
Virgil chuckled; Patton had to be the bubbliest person he’d come into contact with, in person and otherwise. He finally pocketed his phone and continued around the combined commercial and residential area, silently praying someone would call about Oobie soon.
-
Virgil stumbled through his door around 6pm, emotionally wrecked and exhausted from his day. The calico owner had texted him hourly, finally stopping after they announced it’d been found. Virgil hadn’t replied.
He set his empty box of thumbtacks on the coffee table and collapsed onto his couch, reclining so that he was almost laying down, and he stared sadly at the ceiling. Normally, Oobie would jump on his chest and stare him down until he fed him dinner or gave him a treat. He never thought he’d miss that.
His eyes filled, and he swiped a sleeve over his face, grimacing when his phone buzzed. One more false lead or asshole, and he was calling the cops.
[+1 555-7188] Hey, it’s Patton! Any luck today?
[+1 555-8473] no still trying lots of assholes, false leads, and other desperate pet owners
[+1 555-7188] I’m so sorry, Virgil. I can check with the local shelters and animals control centers. I volunteer at the local shelter to get experience for my program, so I’ll help you out there!
[+1 555-8473]Wow thanks so much, Patton.
[+1 555-7188] Of course!
A few minutes of silence passed, and his phone buzzed just as he flicked on his TV and laptop.
[+1 555-7188] So you’re a psych student?
Virgil sighed.
[+1 555-8473]Yeah I’m a senior so Oobie is pretty important to me right now.
[+1 555-7188] Me, too! Probably not at the same school, though. I was at the local Tech. School before I transferred for this vet program.[+1 555-7188]Why is Oobie so important right now? Besides being your best friend, of course!
[+1 555-8473]Nice. I have an anxiety disorder Oobie is my emotional support animal
[+1 555-7188] Oh, wow! I’ve heard of that, but I haven’t met anyone who actually has one. That is a real bummer; I really hope he comes home soon!
[+1 555-8473]me too
[+1 555-7188] So what’s your favorite part of psych? I took an intro. class as a gen. Ed. Requirement, but I liked it a lot!
[+1 555-8473]Either abnormal or behavioral the human brain is just wild Neuropsych is cool too
[+1 555-7188] Why those?
[+1 555-8473]they helped me understand myself once we hit the surface I went deep and saw everything I related to it was interesting and has helped me grow a lot
[+1 555-7188] That’s awesome! I’m so glad it’s been a useful experience for you.
[+1 555-8473]Yeah what about you? why vet school?
[+1 555-7188] I’ll admit. The science part of it was and is really hard, but I love the animals so much! It’s worth it! I love knowing that I help animals AND their humans!
[+1 555-8473]that’s really nice of you
Virgil and Patton went back and forth for a while longer, discussing future plans and majors until Patton needed to pay attention in class. Virgil finally set down his phone and scrolled through Hulu, trying to find another distraction to fill the loneliness.
-
A full week went by with no word on Oobie. Virgil was starting to loose hope, and he began to accept that he might have to find a new companion.Sunday afternoon found him slumped in Starbucks, scrolling through his phone and looking at shelters in the area when a message popped up at the top of the screen. He hit it.
[+1 555-7188]Hi, Virgil! It’s Patton! Seeing as it’s been a week since Oobie took a vacation, I just wanted to check in and see if there’s been any progress.
Virgil sighed. He was glad, in a way, for Patton’s concern, but he was also annoyed with the reminder and admittance of Oobie’s absence.
[+1 555-8473] Nope, no dice He’s still chillin in paradise somewhere
[+1-555-7188] Oh, no!! I’m so sorry to hear that. I can keep checking in with the local shelters and animals control centers between classes and shifts.
[+1-555-8473]Thank you
Virgil pinched his brow and took a breath. Oobie needed to get his little asshole self home soon. -
Buzz buzz buzz buzz Virgil groaned and rolled over, picking up his phone and blinking blankly at his screen until he recognized the number.
“Hello?”
“Virgil!” A tone that was far too chipper for 5am made him bite back a groan. “It’s Patton! I think my classmate found Oobie!”
Virgil’s heart pounded and he sat up slowly.
“Where?”
“She volunteers at the Akron Street Animal Shelter. She just texted me and said an older woman and her caretaker brought in a cat that matches Oobie’s description.”
“Akron is a couple minutes from here.” Virgil pushed himself out of bed and pulled on sweatpants and a hoodie. “That could be him. Thank you so much, Patton.”
“Absolutely! I gotta go; good luck!” Beep beep beep
Virgil grabbed Oobie’s carrying case and his keys and set off for the shelter, arriving in just minutes.
“Hey.” He panted as he approached the desk. “I....Patton just called me about a cat.”
“Patton?” The desk clerk looked him over quizzically, and then he remembered.
“He volunteers somewhere else. I-whatever. I heard you just got a white cat from an old lady.”
“Oh, yes. He’s likely still being examined for injury or illness, so please take a seat. I’ll go see if they’re at a point where you can see him. If he’s yours, I’ll have a few discharge forms for you.”
“Thanks.” Virgil sank into the closest chair and breathed, trying to calm his racing pulse.
“Sir?” A vet. tech. with bright pink scrubs and a dark ponytail smiled at him. “You can come see him. Did Patton send you?”
“Yeah.” Virgil rose and offered a weary smile. “Thank you so much for calling him. I’m Virgil, by the way.”
“Valerie.” She gestured down the hall and walked with him. “Second door to the left here-“
She opened the door, freeing the once muffled meows into the hallway, and Virgil absorbed the mass of white fur and big blue eyes in front of him. Virgil’s eyes instantly filled with tears, and he laughed wetly.
“Yup, that’s Oobie.” He set down the cat carrier and went to the table, reaching out a rusted hand for Oobie to inspect. The cat sniffed briefly before bumping his head against his knuckles and purring loudly. “Hey, buddy. Is he okay?”
“Nothing we could find. Seems like he just wandered off. The woman said she found him harassing the birds in her bird bath.”
“Sounds right.” Virgil scooped Oobie off of the table and into his embrace, and the normally stubborn creature melted into his arms, settling easily over his forearms and purring loudly. “Thank you so much.”
“Absolutely!” Valerie beamed. “I’m so glad we could help! Patton will be thrilled.” She laughed. “You can stay here and visit with Oobie; I’ll get the discharge paper work and make sure we don’t need to do anything else.”
“Thanks.” Virgil settled Oobie back on the table; the cat mewed in protest, but Virgil rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone. Taking Oobie back in one hand, Virgil snapped a quick selfie.
[+1 555-8473] success[+1 555-7188] OMG YAY!!!!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!!!!! IM LITERALLY CRYING!!!!
Big, framed brown eyes and chestnut brown hair filled Virgil’s screen, and his heart skipped a bit. He hadn’t expected Patton to be so....
[+1 555-8473]only tears of happiness I hope
[+1 555-7188] Of course!
Virgil smiled.
[+1 555-8473]thank you so so much for helping me get my little buddy back
Virgil bit his lip. [+1 555-8473]I’d love to pay you back. Coffee? On me?
[Patton!] I’d love to!
[Virgil
Hope you liked it! This was super fun to do.

Farm Fresh Challenger SRT8 392
Love at first sight comes in many forms. For Arthur Vitoria, owner of several classic E-Bodies over the years, his decision to buy a late-model Challenger came with lightning speed.
A dairy farmer by trade, Vitoria’s legacy for Mopar muscle cars began with a 1971 Road Runner he purchased at the age of 13. His first Challenger was also white (you can see a theme here) that he purchased when he was 16. It required new paint, a hood, and side glass; these rare parts stolen while the car was sitting in a local barn.
Things stepped up dramatically when Vitoria spotted a 1970 AAR ’Cuda that was for sale in Hemmings. Unfortunately, the car was 1,400 miles from his home in Central California. Unable to make the trip, his father made the trek to check out the car, but found it to be in less than pristine condition, with significant rust and in need of major renovation.
Against his best judgment, but knowing full well the disappointment that would greet him if he didn’t haul the car back home to his son, Vitoria’s father loaded up the car and took it back to California. As expected, his son was over the moon with excitement when it arrived and set about repairing the rusty machine. In less than a year, the rare ’Cuda was repaired using funds he procured by selling his white Challenger. Victoria still owns that AAR today, the lessons learned about welding in quarter-panels and overall mechanics to restore and upgrade the ’Cuda serving him well with subsequent car builds.
Fast-Forward to December 9, 2016. On a random drive by the local Dodge dealership, Vitoria spotted a “lightly used” white-hot 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392. Vitoria was sold on that car in an instant. A couple of hours later, the car was home in the safety of Vitoria’s garage. Best of all, his wife loved the car too and was extremely supportive of his latest acquisition.
Over the years, Vitoria had learned a lot from his father, working alongside him on their various projects and on the dairy farm that currently supports 2,500 heads of cattle (that need to be milked twice a day — in case you think you have a busy schedule). Over the years, the two men built a number of cars, including a 1934 Plymouth street rod and a 1969 Camaro with a full ProCharger supercharger system, just to hit the highlights. So it was a given that Vitoria’s newest Challenger would go through a full makeover.
At the heart of the power upgrades was the installation of a ProCharger F1A-94 kit. ProCharger was first to offer a kit for this engine configuration, and Vitoria was the first to install one. But to get the most of the system, he knew he needed to improve the strength of the engine if he wanted crank up the boost. Key points to the ProCharger install include a Race (larger sizing) intercooler, “Red” blow-off valve and an Alkycontrol Methanol Injection system.
Vitoria removed the 392-cid engine and installed a “drop-in” stroker rotating assembly with Ross forged aluminum alloy pistons, Manley connecting rods, and a forged steel crankshaft. A Comp Cams custom camshaft with 0.618/0.620 inch is the perfect valvetrain component for this engine combination. In tandem with the CNC’d HHP factory cylinder heads upgraded with PSI valvesprings and Manley titanium retainers, the final compression was dropped to 9.7:1.
One look at the Challenger and it’s easy to see that the suspension has been heavily modified. Not only have the struts been changed in the front, but braces have also been added to reduce wheelhop — a severe problem with Challengers of this vintage. Eibach lowering springs are used all around, but the quality of the ride has been retained throughout. In final review, the front suspension was lowered 1.4 inches over stock ride height and 1.5 inches in the rear.
At the four corners, Vitoria added Rohanna RF2 wheels, 20×10 up front and 20×11 in the rear. Nitto 555 tires were used as well, 275/40ZR-20 in the front and huge 315/35ZR20 Nitto NTO5Rs in the rear. As an added touch, he had 392 Hemi lettering added to the sidewall, epoxied in place.
The result of all this work is a car that’s driven often and has the looks Vitoria envisioned for his Challenger. With 15 pounds of boost, the Challenger has been able to generate 725 rwhp on the dyno. That power is enough to push the Pearl White Challenger to 11.22 seconds at 129 mph with severe tire slip. Vitoria expects the car to run 10.20s on pump gas with improved tuning and tires.
In anyone’s book, that’s “moovin’” — dairy farmer or not!
Vitoria’s Challenger puts out an amazing 725 rwhp in street trim — more than enough to smoke up those sticky street-style Nitto tires.
At the heart of the big power is the Stage 2 ProCharger F1A-94 system. Through some careful manipulation, the system fits neatly into the driver side of the engine compartment and retains that cool shaker hood.
The current run of Challengers cut a striking pose as they cruise down the street. A sharp-eyed performance enthusiast will spot the big ProCharger “Race” intercooler tucked right behind the factory grille to achieve maximum inlet cooling.
Vitoria says he received the first ProCharger system for this application. Currently, he’s running 15 pounds of boost.
The ProCharger kits feature a full complement of tubing that routes airflow to and from the F1A-94 supercharger housing. A “Red” blow-off valve ensures that pressures are metered properly to protect all system components.
Intake air is drawn from this large filter element next to the shaker hood cover. The 4-inch tubing provides high-rate airflow throughout the system.
Just for perspective, this angle demonstrates how nicely the ProCharger kit fits within the engine compartment. All factory systems were retained including such things as air conditioning and adaptive cruise control.
Chrysler offers an assortment of interior colors these days, and this Challenger sports the Sepia brown upholstery with black dash and console.
Vitoria installed a Hurst shifter to make certain that shifts are smooth and accurate.
To keep tabs on key engine operations, Vitoria added this brace of gauges that include (from top) fuel pressure, air/fuel ratio, and boost pressure.
The only exception to the factory bodywork is this cool carbon-fiber rear spoiler that mounts in the factory position. The paint is actually Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl, for all of those paint aficionados out there.
One of the beautiful things about this Challenger is that it retains much of the factory looks in spite of the power increase. What you can’t hear hear is that the engine sound is much more of a roar on demand than the factory offering, courtesy of the Dynomax mufflers, TTi headers, and custom exhaust tips.
Nitto 555 front tires, measuring 275/40ZR20, are used up front wrapped around Rohanna RF2 wheels and covering the Demon front rotors and Brembo calipers.
The rear Nittos NTO5R 315/35ZR20 tires also use Rohanna RF2 wheels. Red Brembo calipers peek out from between wheel spokes.
The factory shaker hood is a signature Mopar performance feature that signals the arrival of big power. In this case, it belies the really big power packed into this Challenger.
Suspension changes for this Challenger include additional rear bracing to help reduce wheelhop and Eibach lowering springs that take the body down 1.4 inches in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear.
This snap shot shows exactly what caught the eye of Vitoria as he drove by the local Dodge dealership. Note the sales pitch in the window — Low Miles with a happy face — the latter of which was a perfect match to the smile on Vitoria’s face after purchase.
ProCharger superchargers have garnered huge success in drag racing, but their street superchargers are equally impressive and engineered to fit around the components found in daily driven cars like this one.

Don’t be stagnant, move forward, if you don’t fight back, you’ll give your competition the opportunity to develop deeper relationships with your customers.

The product makes all the ingredients in its supplement clearly available on its website by providing a look at the label and supplement facts. They also provide specific dosage information for each ingredient that is used, which allows potential consumer to be informed as to what exactly they will be putting into their body how it might be effected. It also allows the product to be vetted ahead of time and expectations set as to its effectiveness.
Here are all the active ingredients in the product:
Magnesium ZMA 5-HTP Melatonin L-Theanine Lemon Balm Peppermint Sedapine GABA Ginger Hops
Lemon Balm: An herb from the mint family, it is used to make medicine. It can be used for treating digestive issue, bloating, flatulence, and an upset stomach. Additionally, it has a calming effect, so it is included in many sleep aids for its ability to reduce anxiety, restlessness, and stress. It is also used to prevent and combat Alzheimer’s disease. The balm contains a chemical that acts as a sedative, which make it affective in sleep aids.
5-HTP: Extracted from an African plant named Griffonia simplicifolia, it is used primarily for treating sleep disorders like insomnia, as well as anxiety, depression, obesity, ADHD, seizures, and migraines. The ingredient works by increasing the production of serotonin in the brain and nervous system, which can have a profound effect upon sleep, mood, and sexual behavior. Unfortunately, there are some potential side effects that are associated with taking the ingredient, including:

Melatonin: A hormone that occurs naturally within the body and can also be made in a laboratory. Its main function is to help regulate the body’s internal clock and establish sleep and wake cycles, particularly for those who have alternative or changing sleep schedules. It can also be used to help those who suffer from insomnia as a result of ADHD, rapid eye movement, intellectual disabilities, and high blood pressure.
Poor sleep can disrupt your life in a lot of ways, click here to find an expert compiled top 10 list of sleep aids that can help you.
EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven sleep aid such as Fenotrex for better results.
FibroSleep Quality of Ingredients
There are a lot of familiar names on the ingredients list for FribroSleep, and for the most part that is a good thing, as it contains several ingredients that have shown to be effective in treating sleeplessness. This inclusion of 5-HTP is bothersome, as though it can be effective for sleep, there is the potential for negative side effects. There are also a few unfamiliar additives on the list that raise some questions.
First is ZMA, which is a mix of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6, and it mostly used by athletes or bodybuilders as a recovery aid. You can see why some of those benefits may translate to a sleep aid, but not much research has been conducted into its effectiveness in sleep supplements and we would advise caution. There is also Sedapine, which appears to be a patented proprietary blend by the manufacturer. They list ingredients in the blend, but not any more information is made readily available about it.
There are hundreds of sleep aids that are currently available on the market and finding the right one can be confusing. Simplify it by looking at the top 10 sleep aids here.
The Price and Quality of FibroSleep
It appears that the product is mostly sold through the product website, though it does pop-up on a few other online vendors, but not substantial ones. It has an Amazon page, but is currently listed as unavailable, with no indication as to when it may become available again. On the product website, one 60 capsule bottle is sold for $32.49, plus shipping and handling.
This is a middle of the road price when it comes to sleeping aids – not cheap, but not too expensive either. There is no mention of a free trial or a money back guarantee on the website, so if it is purchased and found to be ineffective, there does not appear to be a way to get a refund.
Business of FibroSleep
FibroSleep is manufactured and sold through a company called Pro Health – they make supplements for specific ailments.
Here is the contact information we could find for the company online:
Address: ProHealth, Inc. 555 Maple Avenue, Carpinteria, CA 93013
Phone Number: (805) 564-3064
Email: No email address is provided, but there is a page through which consumers can submit questions electronically.
We were not able to find a page with the Better Business Bureau for this company, and it appears that they are not currently involved in any lawsuit or litigation.
Don’t spend another moment tossing and turning in bed, when you can be looking at an expert’s top list of sleep aids for results.
Customer Opinions of FibroSleep
Even though the product is mostly just sold through its own website, there are still a plentiful amount of reviews to be found. To the manufacturer’s credit, they allow consumers to post reviews and they appear to be genuine and objective. Combined with the reviews found on Amazon, it seems that most users had a mixed to negative ration to the product. There seemed to be some very inconsistent results among users.
Here are some of the consumer reviews that we could locate online:
“The product worked to relax me enough to get to sleep, but I was not able to stay asleep.”
“It helps a little with sleep issues, but the results vary from night to night, which is frustrating.”
“I have been sleeping better, but I can only take one capsule instead of two, because otherwise I get nightmares.”
You work too hard for your money to waste it on things that don’t work, so if you’re in need of a sleep aid, look at the top 10 sleep aids on the market and get your money’s worth.
Conclusion – Does FibroSleep Work?
On paper, there seems to be some things to like about FibroSleep. They utilize a lot of effective ingredients within their formula that could benefit someone suffering from sleeplessness. That said there are some questions about its blend, as it utilizes a couple of unfamiliar ingredients and one that we know can potentially cause negative side effects.
It is only available through the manufacturer’s website currently, and is sold for relatively high price when you consider shipping and handling. The price would not he unjustifiably high, if it weren’t for the mixed to negative reviews it has received from consumers. It seems that they main issue with the product is that it will help get you to sleep, but many have stated they do not sleep all the way through the night, which is a key part of a good night’s sleep. With no money back guarantee offered, we would advise consumers to look or a more reliable or consistent supplement.
The top-ranked sleeping aid right now is Fenotrex, due to the extremely positive consumer reaction and the formula made up of effective and reliable ingredients. For anyone who wants to get to sleep faster, stay asleep throughout the night, and be more energized upon waking up, Fenotrex is for you.
The active ingredients that make up the product have all be studied independently by third-parties and found to be both safe and potent. Of course, the product is produced in a GMP approved facility. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with insomnia or sleeplessness, the follow this link to learn more about how Fenotrex can help.

Flood insurance policies plunge in Houston
Houston’s population is growing quickly, but when Harvey hit last weekend there were far fewer homes and other properties in the area with flood insurance than just five years ago, according to an Associated Press investigation.
The sharp, 9 percent drop in coverage means many residents fleeing Harvey’s floodwaters have no financial backup to fix up their homes and will have to draw on savings or go into debt — or perhaps be forced to sell.
Houston’s Harris County has 25,000 fewer flood-insured properties than it did in 2012, according to the AP’s review of Federal Emergency Management Agency data.
In percentage terms, the drop was even more dramatic in certain sections of the county: In Pasadena, just southeast of Houston, policies were down nearly 20 percent. Baytown, east of Houston, saw a 22 percent drop.
A former head of the federal flood insurance program called the drops “unbelievable,” and criticized FEMA, the agency overseeing the program.
“When you start to see policies drop like this, FEMA should have done something about this,” said Robert Hunter, who ran the program in the late ’70s. He estimates that fewer than two of 10 homeowners with flood damage have flood insurance.
FEMA’s director, Brock Long, told the AP on Wednesday he was uncertain what was driving the drop in insurance coverage in Houston. He said storm victims who have lost their homes and are uninsured could seek assistance through the Small Business Administration, which offers loans.
Experts point to a mix of reasons for Houston area residents deciding to drop coverage, but said a lack of fear was a big one. The last big flood, Tropical Storm Allison, was 16 years ago, and people stopped worrying and wanted money they would have spent for insurance premiums for other items. The average cost for premiums in Harris County increased from $514 per year in 2012 to $555 annually this year, an increase of 8 percent, according to FEMA data.
“Allison was a once-in-500-year flood,” said Texas A&M University economist James Gaines. “We weren’t supposed to have another one.”
Jesse Trubia, president of a metal fabrication company, decided to pass on flood insurance when he moved to his two-story home on the outskirts of Houston several years ago. That decision will now cost him up to $30,000, he estimated.
Up to one foot of water seeped into his home in Cypress, he judges from a neighbor’s report, ruining furniture, plasterboard, paint, carpets and wooden flooring.
He said a real estate agent and title insurance company had given him the impression he did not need flood insurance, because his home wasn’t in a flood plain.
“Of course, you have that gut-wrenching feeling now, but at the time I’m talking to people who live in the neighborhood 10 or 15 years, and they say they’ve never seen water in the street,” he said by phone from a Dallas hotel, where he had fled with his wife and two children.
Loretta Worters, a spokesperson for the insurance industry’s Insurance Information Institute, said she was not surprised at the drop in flood policies in the Houston area. She said polling performed for her group showed that only 12 percent of American homeowners in flood-prone areas were insured against flooding in 2016, down from 14 percent in 2015.
“There’s a naivety on the part of people. A lot of people think it’s not going to happen to them,” she said.
Several Houston-area homeowners and insurance experts also attributed the decreased coverage to tight family finances in recent years due to the drop in oil prices and the region’s reliance on that industry.
“The price of oil has gone up and down like a yo-yo, and with those ups and downs come a lot of jobs lost over the years,” said Mark Hanna, a spokesman for the trade group Insurance Council of Texas. “A lot of it has to do with what comes first: flood insurance or food on the table.”
In total, Harris County residents were paying premiums on nearly 250,000 flood insurance policies in June, down from almost 275,000 policies at the end of 2012. There were roughly 1.75 million housing units in Harris County, but that includes apartment and condominium buildings, making it an imperfect figure to try to calculate what overall percentage of families are covered by flood insurance.
The number of policies in Houston itself fell from 133,000 to 119,000, an 11 percent drop — roughly in line with the trend nationally. Over the same period, the number of flood policies across the country dropped 10 percent, to 4.9 million.
Jiles Daniels, a retired oil company manager, never wavered when he bought flood insurance on both his homes: one in Houston and another on an island near Cleveland, northeast of Houston. The cost is considerable: about $1,800 a year in premiums for the two houses combined.
But he thinks it’s worth it: The lower level of his island house went about four feet under water, he estimates, though his city home had been spared so far. “I’ve been living here since the mid-’70s, and I’ve seen the floods,” he said in a phone interview from an upper floor of his island house. “I don’t care where I am: I’m getting flood insurance.”
FEMA has been criticized for years for not doing more to get people to buy flood insurance. The agency underwrites the policies but farms out the task of pitching them to homeowners to private insurers. The idea was that the private sector would do a better job of getting people to sign up, but that does not appear to be the case.
A report last year by the Homeland Security Department’s internal watchdog office criticized FEMA for “not providing adequate oversight” of the private sector marketing efforts. It also slammed FEMA for leaving the federal flood insurance program — called the National Flood Insurance Program — at “risk for fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement.”
Under current rules, most homeowners with mortgages living in high risk areas for flooding, called Special Flood Hazard Zones, must buy flood insurance.
Most of the Houston area falls outside those most vulnerable zones, and many homeowners who aren’t forced to have coverage have decided to do without.
According to the Harris County Flood Control District, 65 percent of the land that flooded during Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 was not in a designated flood plain. The county has since redrawn its flood risk maps several times, notably in 2007, with smaller changes in 2014 and then early this year.
One problem with the maps highlighted by Tropical Storm Harvey: They don’t take into account the risk of flooding from overcapacity drainage sewers and ditches or from water flowing toward a sewer or bayou. More than half of the flooding in Harris County over the years has been due to such problems, according to the Harris County Flood Control District.
“Nobody’s buying flood insurance outside the federal flood risk areas, particularly where we’re talking about storm water flooding,” said Carolyn Kousky, an expert in natural disaster insurance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. She added that even people who figure they should have insurance just to be safe, usually put it off and then never get around to buying it.
For Ronnie Walsh, 45, flood insurance was out of the question. He was laid off from a factory job in June and even before that money was tight.
“That’s just another bill I can’t afford,” he said.
On Monday, Walsh was evacuated from his east Houston home by rescuers in helicopters after water started seeping into the house. He and his two sons, ages 4 and 6, had just a few bags of belongings with them when they arrived at a downtown convention center. They spent the night on flattened boxes, wondering how much damage their house sustained.
He fears everything is gone.
“At a time like this you can’t really worry about TVs, entertainment centers, things like that,” Walsh said. “You just have to survive.”
