It was Hadji. He'd forgotten all about him. = "Johanna, may I have this dance?" "Aaaah .... ummmm .... well, actually, Jessie and I were discussing = something important ..... " "But not anymore, I see ...." Hadji said, pleased. Too late, Jonny = noticed that Jessie was dancing with some other guy. "Come on, Johanna." Before Jonny could say something, hadji had pulled him to the dance = floor. As thet danced to a slow, romantic song, Hadji said apologetically. = "You know, I am really sorry about what happened back there. I don't = know what happened to my friends. They're not normally like this." "It's OK, Hadji," Jonny mustered.=20 "Johanna," Hadji said dreamily. "You fit the description of the girl of = my dreams: intelligent, understanding and very, very beautiful." "Nooooooo!" Jonny thought in terror as Hadji's face loomed closer to = his face. "I can't let this happen." However, before he could do anything, Hadji had kissed him. =20 "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!" Jonny screamed in disgust. Pushing away = a startled Hadji, he ran out of the house. "Johanna, wait!" hadgi ran after him/her but he/she was noweher in = sight. THE NEXT DAY: At breakfast: "Hadji, come on, what's come over you?" Jonny asked him. "Jonny, just ignore me, please," Hadji replied, subdued. "You won't = understand. you haven't met her." Just then, Jessie entered the room. Hadji immediately asked her: = "Jessie, I was wondering, do you know of any way in which I can contact = Johanna?" "Uhhh ... Hadji, no." She said uncomfortably. " I don't think she'd like = it if I told you." Tears welled up in Hadji's eyes. "Of course. She must be far too busy = with her many other admirers to care about me." He abruptly got off the = table. "Excuss me please." In the distance, Jonny and Jessie could hear him sob. "Jess, do you think I should tell him?" "I don't think so, Jonny," Jessie replied, thoughtfully. "It would only = make matters worse." In the background, Hadji's sobs turn into bawls. ************************************************************** Comments, criticisms ... anything's welcome! Btw, do you guys think I = should do a fic where Jonny is overcome by guilt and decides to dress up = as Johanna for the last time and go on one last date with Hadji? That = will call for much more Jonny & Hadji bashing (my favourite pastime). I = don't know whether I should do that fic about Hadji & Johanna's last = date or not ... let's see ........... :-)) The Mistress of Mayhem. "What's up, Doc?" (c) Maliha Malik 1997
