Keeping up with Nick Jones

[Zabriel†]

((Continued from Out on the Town and Out of the Closet))

Nick hadn't seen anything to indicate that there had been any trouble, so he reasoned that she must have forgotten, which was understandable since it was a stressful time of the year for everybody, and people had a lot on their minds. Nick really needed to study for his Physics test the next day anyhow. He had been putting it off for too long and should probably welcome the missed date as a chance to get some things done. He grabbed his books from the passenger's seat and headed into his house.

"I'm home!" He announced to the household and proceeded to the study to prepare for the next day. Arranging his notes and opening his book he shut the door and turned on some music.

His studying lasted for a little while, but as his music switched from ambient chamber music to Italian dance music the room slowly turned into a discotheque. He got out of his chair and started to move to the beat.

"I see the moon coming down for me, shining so bright as only sunlight could be, it tells me stories about eternity, together we'll be free in harmony...I see the moon coming down for me..."

The dance made him feel a little better about things. Dance music always made him happy. He wasn't sure that it was possible to be upset with dance music playing.

This, he decided, was what heaven sounded like.
