Skylines and Turnstiles

Summary

In 2001, Videl's 18, turning 19 on December 31st and is "stuck" majoring in music (singing) as well as art (comics, mostly), even though she secretly wants to travel the world and let people see that she's passionate about what she likes. Choppy black hair that barely passes her shoulder and 5' 8" height makes her blend in as well as stand out. When she was born, she had broken iris's and she had multiple surgeries just on her eyes to the fact that they change color whatever her mood is since the doctors connected them to her nerve system. Most of the time, her eyes are a very dark brown to the fact that they are mistaken for black very often. But the con of that is that she has to wear glasses until they say it's okay for her to wear contacts.

Constantly working at the Panera Bread down the street from her university as well as the comic store in the city, because that's her only income since the police found out that her parent's were abusing her and got passed onto aunts, uncles, and grandparents that live within the city, just to be kicked out another time until she saved up enough money when she was 16 to live on her own.

Why they started abusing is a question still asked today from her. she didn't do anything wrong, unless you say that getting straight a's, constantly studying, hangs out with the right people, and not going to parties nor not doing drugs is wrong. But she kept up what she did and didn't have a single complaint, all she asked for was an ipod. simple, right? Just to hold music and take it with you places, since it's portable.

But having no friends all her life made it sort of hard for her to talk to people. She didn't have a real friend that she could talk to without stuttering till her freshman year. Ray, that's his name but she often called him either by his last name, Toro, or Fro-man because of his huge "afro."

How she met him was a bit odd. she was working her shift at the comic store, stocking up the fresh new comics she fangirled over and Ray randomly walked up to her and started talking to her as she was working. Weirdly, she talked back, even though he could have be a pedophile in any case. But he wasn't. Soon they started meeting up in the comic store during her hours, the park, and he saw her at her second job at Panera Bread (even though he didn't know she worked there) and convinced her boss to let her leave early. even though he was 5 years older than her, nobody would realize it because of her height and how childish he was.

She hasn't seen him face to face for months but she has talked to him on the phone plenty of times on a regular basis. They haven't hung out in the past couple months because they often had projects to do, sleep to catch up on, or the fact that he lives in New Jersey and she lives in New York. When they talked on the phone, they mostly talked about the internships they got, how bad their jobs were or their backup plan if they still had time to talk.

Their backup plan will only happen when both of them drop out of college and/or lose their jobs. If that actually happens, they will buy plane tickets to California and start their lives over in the west coast. Videl said that she'll probably work at Forever 21 and Ray would like to work at A food place, since he "likes the smell of food." Both of them love the idea but know that it won't ever happen in a million years.

She nearly started crying on the phone when the Cartoon Network secretary called her telling her that she got an internship over there. on the first day of the internship, she got paired with Gerard Way. Gerard and her got on very well since they both loved music, pizza, and mostly the same comics. She couldn't stop stuttering while she was around him because he made her heart race every time he smiled at her, or whenever he said "i love you" to her when she grabbed Starbucks for the two of them, she nearly dies inside. but she thinks that he probably doesn't feel the same about her.

Flashing forward into 2001 again, the 9/11 incident strikes New York while Gerard and her are at the Cartoon Network building, in clear sight of the towers. They were finishing up some final touches on a character summary they were working on for a new show they were to present to the cartoon network producers. They walk over to the Polaroids they hung up against the biggest window, facing the twin towers, just to see the planes crash into the towers. Their hearts and jaws dropped just as the towers dropped.

She doesn't remember very much except that Gerard took her home and stayed with her for the night. But roughly a month later, Ray calls her asking if she would like to be a co-vocalist of a band a friend and him are forming.

Videl said she would think about it.
