Singing in the Moonlight Ch 2: Talking to the Moon
The next day Johnny rolled out of bed around eight and shuffled into his bathroom to get ready for the day. He sleepily stared himself down in the mirror as he lazily brushed his teeth. His eyes were kinda red and he was starting to get bags under his eyes but it wasn’t anything too noticeable. Once he had freshened up and was dressed in his signature jeans, t-shirt, and leather jacket he wandered down the stairs to the makeshift kitchen in the back of the shop. He opened the fridge and let out a loud groan. The bare shelves were scattered with old takeout and ROAR! energy drinks, neither of which sounded too appealing to him. At that moment his body chose to remind him that he was surviving on a grand total of 4 hours of sleep by forcing out a huge yawn. 
Johnny shrugged, grabbed an energy drink out of the fridge and opened it. He chugged half of the can as he walked over to where his old black truck was parked. He pulled up the garage door and then got in. With a turn of the key the great engine roared to life and the truck shook slightly with the force of the engine before Johnny shifted it into gear and drove it just outside the garage. The radio was already on at half volume as soon as he turned on the car and the DJ was babbling about some events going on in the music world. Johnny put his truck in park and let it idle as he jumped up and grabbed the handle on the garage door and pulled it down. When the heavy door hit the ground he pulled a padlock out from his jacket and quickly secured it so that no one could get into the garage while he was gone. Johnny pocketed the key and jogged back to the truck, checking his watch to make sure that he had enough time to get to the theatre. 
He got in just as a soft piano melody accompanied by guitar came through the speakers of his truck and a man began to sing:
“At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself…”
 Johnny blinked in surprise at how accurate the lyrics were to his experience last night, and he quickly turned up the volume until it consumed every inch of space in the cab of the truck. Dazedly he put the truck in drive and began driving to the theatre, his attention only half on the road and the other half on the lyrics that struck him like an arrow.
“Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you’re on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?”
 With that last word, the song moved to a piano break. Just before the singer came back Johnny’s arm shot out and pressed the button that shut off the radio. The colorful display went dark immediately but the ghost of the melody still danced around in his brain, taunting him. He rolled down all of the windows in order to banish it with the onslaught of the noises of the city. The honking and the hum of the other cars around him did nothing to banish that annoying little melody that made his heart hurt.
He pulled up to the theatre frustrated and drained. All he could think about was another night alone. As soon as he went home there would be no one there. And nightfall was inevitable. The garage was always waiting when he got back…empty and unchanged. Johnny chugged down the rest of the energy drink and jumped out of the truck. He locked the doors and trudged into the theatre, his head down and his hands shoved in his pockets. When Moon greeted him cheerily just like usual, Johnny mustered up a smile and made his way up the stairs to Moon’s office.
He shook his head in rueful amusement when he saw the mess of papers that were waiting for him on the desk. He pulled a stool over to the desk and began sorting through the absolute mess that lay before him.
It was around 10:30 when he finally stood up and walked out of the office. He couldn’t stare at those numbers for another second or he might lose it. He walked down the stairs to the practice rooms where the others were immersed in their rehearsals.
Ash was sitting on the floor of her practice room, writing furiously on a sheet of lyrics, trying to perfect her latest song. She looked so deep in her work that Johnny didn’t dare disturb her for fear of her wrath. She knew exactly how to use her quills to inflict pain when she wanted to. He had learned that from experience. He flinched away in reflex as he remembered the fury on her face and high tailed it towards where Rosita and Gunther were practicing their new dance. 
They looked flawless as always but knowing Rosita she would accept nothing except for protection, and Gunther was always game to dance around. Johnny gave them both a small wave when they saw him. Rosita’s gaze narrowed in on him and she took a step towards the door.
Sensing a motherly concern moment coming on Johnny jogged away towards the concessions stand where he found solace in the drink vending machine. He struggled with smoothing out his extremely crumpled dollar for a few minutes before he deemed it flat enough to be accepted by the overly finicky machine. He slid the dollar in through the slot and the machine accepted it for a second before spitting it back out again. Johnny groaned in disappointment and once again went about straightening his slightly crumpled dollar.
After about five more tries the machine finally took his money and he was faced with a harrowing choice. He could go with the water bottle that made his parched mouth water or he could choose from the assortment of ROAR! flavors that the machine carried. He began yawning uncontrollably and decided that being conscious for his lesson with Meena was more important than his thirst. Besides he could get a drink of water later. Satisfied that his reasoning was sound, he punched in the code for Screamin’ Strawberry ROAR!. He was just taking his first sip when someone cleared their throat behind him.
He spun around to find Rosita watching him with a disapproving frown on her face. She crossed her arms and tapped her foot as she stared him down. He stood frozen with the drink pressed to his lips, eyes wide and petrified. He had never seen a mom look quite this powerful before and to be honest he was terrified of the pig who was about a third of his size. 
“What do you think you’re doing young man?” she asked in a serious tone and Johnny, who was feeling a little bold in that moment, took a sip of the energy drink. He swore that he saw Rosita’s eyes light on fire her fury was so tangible. 
“Johnathan!” She yelled and held out her hand for the drink. Reluctantly, he handed it to her and mournfully watched as she stomped over to a trashcan and threw it away angrily.
“Aw Rosita tha’ cost me a dollar.” he mumbled but didn’t dare look her in the eye when she approached him.
“Well then you wasted your money Johnny. Those things are terrible for you!” she scolded him and he looked down at the ground in shame. She led him over to a nearby bench and sat him down next to her.
“What’s going on Johnny? You seem down today. And you look a little thin.” She started fussing with his shirt and he let her in an attempt to avoid answering the questions. She wasn’t fooled and instead pinned him with a piercing mom look. He sighed and caved a little bit while desperately searching his exhausted brain for a solution.
“It’s nuffin’ Rosita we just ain’t been uh, shoppin’ in a lil’ while.” he mumbled and checked his watch. It was only 11:00 but maybe he could go to the bakery a little early.
“Well why don’t I take you and your father shopping later? I can give you some great meal ideas.” she began gushing about her recipe ideas and Johnny immediately tensed up. He hadn’t had the courage to tell anyone that his father was the infamous gang leader Big Daddy. Johnny didn’t want or need their pity and he definitely didn’t want them to look at him differently because he was the son of a criminal. He wanted to be judged for his voice, not his father’s actions. He was his own gorilla.
“Oh tha’ sounds super fun Rosita but uh, I’m gonna tutor Meena tonight and I’m late. Gotta go!” Johnny said quickly as he leapt up from his seat and sped out the doors of his theatre to his truck. He got into his car just as Rosita burst out the doors of the theatre in hot pursuit. Before she could even take a step towards him he was speeding off down the street. He tried hard not to look back but he couldn’t help but glance back in his mirror. He only caught a glance of Rosita’s worried face as she stood in front of the theatre.
Johnny forced himself to turn his attention back to the road as he sped through the streets with no particular destination in mind. His mind ambled along just like his route and he found himself driving on autopilot. The radio began to play the song that had been stalking him once again and Johnny found himself too tired to change the song or turn of the radio.
He easily got sucked into the easy melody and the striking lyrics. Near the end of the song he even found himself singing along to the chorus. He let the song guide his hand and his mind automatically began directing him to an unknown destination. As the last notes of the song faded out and DJ came back on the radio, he came to a stop in front of a small shop.
The shop was obviously family-owned and an old wooden sign above the door was painted with swirling red and orange letters that spelled out ‘Sunrise Bakery’. Johnny got out of the truck and slowly walked up to the front of the shop. The windows were stuffed with a variety of tasty treats that made his poor empty stomach growl.
Johnny winced as his body chose that moment to realize that he hadn’t eaten in a day or so. His passive stomach had transformed into a growling, aching beast that was nearly impossible to ignore. It was even worse when he opened the door to the shop and was immediately assaulted by the sweet smell of fresh baked goods. The smell only made his stomach growl louder. He covered up his stomach as if that would conceal the noises that it was making but the elderly capybara at the counter let out a chuckle.
Johnny blushed and ducked his head in embarrassment when she called out to him in her shaky voice. “Come here young man. Let’s get you some goodies.” Johnny hurried over to the counter as the older woman disappeared into the back for a few minutes. He sat down on one of the cushy stools nearby the counter and took the time to look around the old-fashioned bakery. There were exquisite looking goodies everywhere he looked and he began to wonder where the old capybara had disappeared to. He heard hushed voices coming from the back where the kitchen was but since he couldn’t make them out he resumed his examination. In the display case in front if him was an assortment of muffins and cupcakes, all lined up perfectly and obviously decorated by hand. He was eying up a yellow cupcake with very light blue frosting when he caught movement out of the corner of his eye. He spun around to greet the old capybara woman but instead came face to face with Meena.
 As soon as she looked up from the tray that she was carrying her cheeks turned bright red and she pulled her ears in close to her face. “Johnny!” she squeaked out in surprise and subsequently lost her grip on the tray. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see her hard work hit the ground, and definitely not wanting to see Johnny’s reaction to her clumsiness. When she didn’t hear the clatter of the metal pan on the tile floor she peeked open one eye. Johnny had dove across the counter and caught the falling tray just in time. He smiled up at her and handed her back the tray with a sweet, lopsided grin on his face.
“Careful Meena, you’re carryin’ precious cargo.” He joked and she felt her tense muscles relax a little at his words.
“Th-thanks Johnny. I uh… you’re early.” she stumbled a little over her own tongue but Johnny didn’t seem to notice or care. He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck and looked away at the cupcake case.
“Oh! Uh yeah… I just needed ter get away from the bloomin’ theatre. Rosita was bein’ a lil’… suffocatin’.” Meena immediately empathized with the gorilla. There had been many a time when Rosita’s mom instincts had come out a little too strongly when she was trying to encourage Meena to step out into the spotlight. Even after a year Meena was still painfully shy in any and all social interactions. She sang well enough on stage when she was able to lose herself in the performance and ignore the crowd but beforehand she still had to be coaxed a little. While everyone else handled their newfound fame quite gracefully, Meena avoided reporters like the plague and only gave interviews when they weren’t live.
“Believe me I understand.” she grumbled as she set the tray down on the counter and began putting away the red velvet cupcakes that adorned it. Johnny’s laugh broke her from her reverie and she blinked as the wonderful sound filled the shop.
“I betcha do.” He chuckled and Meena’s chest was suddenly filled with a weird fluttering feeling. She realized that she was staring at Johnny and quickly resumed her task of restocking the cupcake case.
“So uh wot is good ‘ere? I’m kinda starved.” his stomach growled loudly and Meena let out a little giggle when he turned red and covered his stomach with his hands.
“Sounds like it.” she grabbed a small plate from the rack behind her and placed one of the yellow and blue cupcakes that he had been eying earlier on it. “I uh, made these an hour ago. They’re my favorite.” She put the plate down in front of him and bit her lip nervously as he excitedly inspected the cupcake before picking it up and taking a huge bite out of it.
Johnny immediately groaned in appreciation and Meena’s nervous look turned into an overjoyed smile. Johnny looked up at her in amazement and Meena flushed once more but this time her ears stayed open and away from her face. She was flattered.
“This is amazin’! Ya made this?” he asked incredulously and Meena nodded her confirmation.
“I didn’t kna that ya could bake.” he gushed and took another bite of cupcake. This time a small bit of blue frosting smeared across the top of his lip and Meena couldn’t help but laugh at how cute he looked. She handed the sheepish gorilla a napkin and leaned against the counter so that she was closer to him.
“My mom taught me when I was a little girl and I’ve been baking away ever since.” she absentmindedly wiped at an imaginary spot of the counter with a washcloth. She didn’t want to look like she wasn’t working but she didn’t want to stop talking with Johnny. It was easy to talk to Johnny. She liked talking to him because he made her feel safe. She could do just about anything and he would be there with a smile just for her.
“Tha’s awesome. I’ve never made anythin’ loike this before. Well, besides microwaved meals and cereal.” They both laughed and Johnny leaned in too so that the two of them were face to face. “Wots the flavor this cupcake anyway?”
“Oh! That’s our lemon blueberry cupcake with lemon cream cheese frosting.” she watched as he gobbled the rest of the cupcake down eagerly.
“Fantastic!” he praised it once again and then they launched into a conversation about her cooking history, favorite recipes, etc. Before they knew it time had passed and the clock on the wall struck eleven with a loud ringing noise that startled both of them. Meena jerked back and collided with the counter with Johnny jumped clear out of his seat and slipped off of the stool. When Meena recovered from the shock of the noise she disappeared into the back to find her boss to make sure that she was all set to leave.
As soon as Mrs. Peterson saw her she swatted her away from the dishes and gently pushed her back towards the doorway. “You’re all set to go Meena dear. Now you go and have fun with that handsome young man of yours.” she said with a wink and Meena’s entire face turned bright red. She sputtered out an indiscernible reply and made a hasty retreat out of the kitchen. The old capybara just shook her head with a chuckle and resumed the dishes.
When Meena came back to where she had left Johnny he was dusting himself off from his fall. Mean felt her face burn even hotter as she remembered her boss’s words as the echoed through her mind, taunting her and making her blush uncontrollably. 
Johnny looked up from his clothes when he heard Meena come back in. She took off the white apron that she was wearing, hung it up on a hook, and then grabbed her bag before coming around from behind the counter and joining him in the store. For the first time, Johnny realized that for the first time, besides performances, he was seeing Meena in something other than her jeans and old blue sweatshirt. She was wearing khaki pants and an orange, yellow and red tie-dyed t-shirt. She looked cute.
Johnny held the door open for her as they left the bakery and then made sure to open the truck door for her like the gentleman that he was. She blushed when he did so and timidly sat down in the spacious cab of the truck. Johnny then rushed around to his side and hopped into his truck. He started up the vehicle and pulled away from the curb. Meena occasionally gave him directions until they had left the city center behind and were driving through the surrounding suburbs. 
When they finally arrived, Johnny parked in front of the small yellow house and hurried out of the truck so that he could hold Meena’s door for her again. As the two walked up to the house he stared at it in awe. It wasn’t much but it was like nothing he had ever had before. Ever since he could remember he had been living in a cramped apartment above the garage. Meena pulled out a small key chain and unlocked the front door. When he walked in after her, Johnny decided that he like the inside of the house even more. There were family photos everywhere he looked and everything was gently worn and well loved. The house even smelled like a home should. There was a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen that made Johnny’s mouth water. Meena went into the kitchen to say hello to her family and Johnny stayed behind to look at the photos of his friend and her family. There were so many but Johnny savored each one. There were tons of Meena at every stage of her life. Infancy, adolescence, her graduation from high school, and finally the opening day picture of them all in front of the Moon Theatre.
Johnny closely examined each photo and when he looked at all of them he turned around to find Meena. He jumped and let out a loud yell when he found himself face to face with an older male elephant. He was glaring coldly at Johnny and seemed to be looking him over from behind his glasses.
“Who are you boy?” the old man asked gruffly and Johnny stood at attention, ramrod straight with wide eyes.
“Mah name is Johnny sir.” he said nervously and gulped desperately, his throat suddenly dry in the face of that intimidating glare.
“Hmmm.” The elephant suddenly leaned in close enough that Johnny could feel his steely gaze drilling holes straight through him.
“So you want to date my Meena huh?” he asked and Johnny choked on his words for a second before he began to protest.
“No! Uh I mean it ain’t loike that. I’m just uh, teachin’ her piano.” he felt a bead of sweat roll down his forehead and for a second he glanced back at the front door and he considered making a speedy escape before he was mauled by his friend’s grandfather.
“Grandpa!” Meena’s admonishing shout saved him from having to make that decision as she reentered the room with her mother close behind.
“Oh leave the poor boy alone.” Meena’s grandmother glared at her husband. Meena’s grandfather just huffed and hobbled out of the room towards the living room where the TV was waiting for him. Johnny let out a sigh of relief and his body relaxed for a second before he was swept into a tight hug.
Meena’s grandmother gave him a squeeze that nearly cut off his air supply but just when he felt like he was going to suffocate she released him and clapped excitedly.
“Oh honey I’m so happy to meet you! Meena’s always talking about you and her other little friends down at the theatre.” she winked at him and Johnny smiled nervously.
“Grandma.” Meena gritted out, obviously embarrassed, but her grandmother waved her off with a laugh and started backing up towards the kitchen.
“I’ll let you two crazy kids get to it.” with that she disappeared and Meena took Johnny’s arm and all but dragged the startled gorilla to her room. She shut the door and rested her forehead against it for a few seconds in shame. Meena sucked in a breath and bravely turned around to face whatever Johnny had to say about her crazy family, but to her surprise he was admiring her record collection as if nothing weird had happened at all.
“Um… the piano is right here.” she got his attention and gestured to the old piano that was up against the wall in her room. Johnny sat down on one end of the bench and patted the space next to him for her. Meena nervously sat next to him as he launched straight into the lesson.
“Let’s get started shall we? The first fin’ that I’m gonna go over ‘re basic scales and notes.” Meena watched avidly as his long fingers danced over the keys and the piano immediately responded with the corresponding notes. He did it quickly a couple times so that she could get the hang of how it was supposed to sound before he broke it down individually and taught her each part. After about 45 minutes Meena seemed confident enough to go about the scales on her own so Johnny got up from the bench and sat on her bed so that she could do the scales all by herself. He relaxed against her pillows as he listened to her timid scales. With each round she got more and more confident and Johnny found himself doing slightly against her pillows. He adjusted to get more comfortable and desperately tried to keep his eyes open but he was fighting a losing battle. He was so warm and comfortable and his surroundings were a salve to his lonely soul. Everything in Meena’s house was so full of warmth and life and for the first time in a long time he felt safe enough to let his guard down.
His last sight before his eyes closed and he was sucked into the darkness was Meena’s form as she sat at the piano, determinedly playing the piano. He could just make out her face from the side, her concentrated look, and the sparkle in her blue eyes.
And then suddenly he was falling, falling, falling.

I drove 2000 miles for a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo via /r/cars
I drove 2000 miles for a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo
Imgur link
I got into cars relatively recently, just enough to enjoy Top Gear and want to drive something relatively sporty (a Hyundai Veloster Turbo). That said, a month ago I had never worked on a car, never changed oil, never rotated tires, never even driven stick, apart from one two-hour lesson in a buddy's Cruze a year ago.
But as you all know, love of cars is a disease that doesn't cure easily. This summer, with my Veloster lease close to done, I became obsessed with finding the perfect car. At first I looked at other hot hatches, but I wanted something RWD. Then I looked at used M3s, but they felt too normal at low speeds. Then I drove a Cayman and was convinced that was what I wanted, but I didn't feel like I could maintain it or modify it myself without destroying the value.
Then I read about MR2s. Mid-engined, Toyota reliability, cheap, even fairly quick. Of course there were still problems. It wasn't the perfect car. I couldn't drive stick, automatics were slow, nearly every car for sale was N/A and/or poorly modified already.
Then I found this on CarGurus. A pristine, unmodified 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo. 5-speed. It was in Oregon, I was in Iowa. On a whim, I reached out to the dealer. They asked if I wanted to put down a refundable deposit. What the hell, why not? They sent me the service records--sterling maintenance history, but 193,000 miles. I told them if I bought it, I'd have to drive it back to Iowa. They offered to change the seals, timing belt, spark plugs, etc. and I wouldn't pay for labor until I came to pick up the car. I figured, worst case scenario, I'm throwing away the cost of parts, which isn't too bad. They sent me more pictures. Holy crap, it was gorgeous. The steel mist grey grew on me fast. I started thinking, this might actually happen. I booked a flight. One-way. Then I got an email. It was from the MR2's previous owner, who had sold the car back in June. It was his daily driver for 22 years and 180,000 miles, he'd taken impeccable care of it, and he wanted to meet "the type of guy who would fly from Iowa to Oregon to buy a car". "I am also one of those types of guys," he wrote. I went to the bank and got a cashier's check for the cost of the MR2. I notified my insurance. This was definitely going to happen.
Fast-forward two weeks. I'm pulling into the dealership with my wife and my Uncle Bob, who lived close by and could help me, a newbie at manual, with the test drive. There it was--low, wide, and shiny. It wasn't love at first sight. It took two test drives and a harrowing 2000-mile road trip full of stalls and jerky shifts for that to happen.
But a couple days ago, after a quick wash of the MR2 to get the travel dust off, I took it down a few miles of curvy back road. Just me and the machine, wind in my hair, road disappearing behind me. This car is different. It's an extension of the human body. It's a moment in time that will never happen again. When I discovered this MR2 online, all I could think of was what to modify first. Now I know I'm not changing a damn thing about this car.
It's my MR2, and we are perfect for each other.
