This series, 'Our First Time Together' consists of excerpts from my autobiography, 'The Prince Of Main Street.' I have yet to find a publisher for it, so my boyfriend Terry has encouraged me to post these here. It is in a way a 'prequel' to his story "Anything to Turn You On....". You get to see how and why some of the people in that story came into my life, including TJ himself (Coming up soon). LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE IT AND WANT MORE!!! E-mail me at : BaronAVR@aol.com. This book deals with my four years of high school and my first boyfriend, Jesse Dahlinger. My book 'The Prince of Main Street' is dedicated to him and his memory.
Thank you for reading it and E-MAIL ME if you want more! - Andy van Ryan

Part Six
The second morning of that Easter vacation, Jesse had me measure his height. "Sorry Jess, But you're STILL only 5'6. You haven't gained even a fraction" I said, inspecting the tape measure.
"Ah, Shit! You're almost a foot taller than I am!" Jesse complained, referring to my recently measured height of 6' 1". "If you keep growing, I'm gonna look short!". I felt obligated to tease him by saying "Well, you ARE short!" as 'royal' sounding as I could.
"That's it! I'll get you!" Jesse shouted and I ran! Out through the front sliding glass doors of the beach house, across the little yard I went with Jesse in hot pursuit. I vaulted over the short retaining wall and ran out across the beach. I had reached the waters edge when Jesse hit me with a flying block from behind and I flew head first into the surf. When I came up, he was standing near me, laughing. "Oh, you think you're funny!" I said. I splashed him and he pounced at me.
I rolled away and he hit a girl next to me right in the back of the knees. She fell with her butt landing on his back and pushing him face first into the surf and sand. The girl immediately jumped to her feet and shouted "Hey, watch it!". I jumped up, expecting we may have to beat a quick retreat.
Instead, the girl stared for a moment and said "Hey, I know you! You go to my school! You're Andy van Ryan". Without turning to look at the wet, embarrassed boy behind her she continued "and that's Jesse, isn't it?".
Pulling myself up as straight as possible, I answered "Why, yes. That's right. I'm afraid you have us at a disadvantage. You know our names, but we don't know yours". "Faye Miller" the girl said and thrust out her hand. The Prince NEVER shook a ladies hand, so I did what I always do in this situation. I reached out, took just the tips of her fingers, and bowed ever so slightly with a turn of the head. "Very good to meet you, Faye Miller. I'm Andrew van Ryan and this is my very best friend, Jesse Dahlinger" I said, staying bowed until I finished. "Oh, wow!" Faye giggled "I heard you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect this!" she giggled on as she turned to face Jess.
"Hi, Jesse" Faye smiled. "Hello, Faye. It's very good to meet you" he answered using the 'Prince' like manners he had developed over the past few months. "Who told you Andy was a gentleman?" he inquired. "Oh, a girl at school. I don't remember who" Faye said, sounding vague. "What else did you hear about Andy?" he continued. "That he has strange powers and it's not a good idea to make him mad. Is it true, Andy?" Faye questioned.
"You really don't want me to answer that, do you?" I intoned flatly while staring at her. "Uh.........no, ah,.....I guess not" Faye stuttered, sounding nervous.
Then she looked between Jesse and I and called out "Hey, Linda! Look who I've found!". We turned to look.
About fifty feet away stood Linda Hamilton. Linda was a very pretty girl. Even two faggy boys like Jesse and I knew that! She was also the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in town.
"Who is that?" she replied, shading her eyes with her hand. What Faye said next caught me by suprise.
"It's your Prince Andrew and his friend, Jesse! Come over here!" she said waving Linda toward us.
She walked over and with a giggle said "Hi, I'm Linda Hamilton!" and stuck out her hand to me.
As I had with Faye, I took just the tips of her fingers in my hand, bowed slightly and spoke in my best 'Prince' voice. "Hello, Linda. I've noticed you around school, but we've never been introduced. I'm Andrew van Ryan and this is my very best friend, Jesse Dahlinger. It's a pleasure to meet you!" I gave a slight tug on her fingers and ended my bow.
Linda giggled "Oh, Wow! You really ARE a gentleman! Ah, I mean, I've heard that you were...... but I didn't expect this!"
Jesse broke in saying "I'm Jesse. Good to meet you, Linda. So, what else have you heard about Andy?" he questioned. Linda continued "He's got some kind of strange powers".
"That's what I heard, too!" Faye added. I glanced at Faye with a disapproving look. "Well, it's true!" he stated "So don't tease him about it. You might make him mad". "Oh...." Faye remarked, again acting nervous.
"Are you two here for the day?" asked Linda. "Oh, no!" Jesse piped in "We've got a beach house for the week!". "Really?!" Faye asked "Where?".
"The yellow one right there" he answered, pointing across the sand. "Oh, my God! We're staying in the blue one right next door!" exclaimed Linda.
"Then, we'll be neighbors for the week. You'll have to stop by and visit us" Jesse said. I gave him a quizzical look and wondered why he'd said that!. "What are you doing today?" he continued. "Just working on our tans, before summer starts" Linda replied.
"What are you two doing?" she asked, sounding coy. "As little as possible....." we replied in stereo.
Both girls looked shocked "Oh, my god! You DO say the exact same thing at the same time! I've heard rumors, but hearing you guys do it is really weird!" Linda remarked. "What's weird?" we asked her stereophonically. The girls giggled and stared at us. Once Jess and I started with our 'stereo' answers, it was easy to continue. Somehow we always knew what the other was going to say.
"What's so funny?" Jess and I continued in tandem.
"Do you guys practice that, or does it just happen?" Faye asked. "Practice what?" was our deadpan reply. "Oh, wow! That's really trippy!" said Linda. "What's really trippy?" we asked, speaking together.
"Now stop it! I'm getting freaked out!" Faye said. Linda stared at me and I tried not to notice.
"Well now, ladies. If you'll excuse us, Jesse and I have some things we're to get done this morning. We'll see you later today, perhaps?" I said to them. "OK, how about 5:00PM?" Faye answered. Linda gave a sideways glance at Faye. "Alright then, 5:00PM. We'll look forward to it! It's been a pleasure to meet you both" I said and bowed my head ever so slightly. Jesse chimed in "We'll see you then! Have fun tanning!" He gave a tip of his head as well. "OK, Bye!" the two girls answered right together.
"Wait!........ Do the two of you always say things together like that?" I teased. They just laughed. "Until Five, then" I spoke.
Jesse and I turned and started slowly walking away. After maybe fifty steps he looked over his shoulder. I whispered "What are they doing?". "Still looking" he whispered back.
I didn't look. Not even when we reached the beach house. Jesse looked again just as we stepped inside. "Still looking!" he reported.
I closed the door, leaned my back against the wall and slid to the floor. "Oh, no!" I whined "I think Linda likes me! Oh, I don't want to have to be nice to her!............"
"Hold on!" Jesse said "This might work to our advantage!". "What?!" I said and looked up from the floor. "Yeah, really. I heard Linda has her own car. A Mustang, I think." Jesse continued "I think her Dad bought her a new Mustang".
"A car?" I asked. "I think so. For her birthday" Jesse replied. "A car? Really?" I said sitting up.
"Yeah, a car! So, maybe the girls would like to go to Balboa Fun Zone, or to a movie! And Linda could drive" Jesse said, his eyes twinkling.
"Perhaps we could find it in our hearts to escort the ladies out for a night on the town!" I remarked. We each smiled from ear to ear
Later , when Jesse teased me about Linda, I stated "Faye seemed like she was looking at you with plans in her eyes!"
This silenced him immediately. By his pokerfaced expression I knew he hadn't considered the possibility. "You're kidding me, right?" he asked. "Nope! I think she likes you!" I answered. "Oh............I see....." he said looking at the floor. He was as thrilled with the idea as I was.
Just before five o'clock, Jesse said "Now, remember. We ask if they want to go to the Fun Zone and maybe a Movie, OK?" I nodded in agreement.
At exactly Five o'clock, the side gate opened. Linda and Faye, now in Jeans and T-shirts poked their heads through the open doorway. "Hi! Can we come in?" Linda asked with a smile.
"Of course, we've been expecting you" I said. They entered and I invited them to sit down. Jesse asked if they'd like a soda, then ran to the kitchen to get them.
Faye noticed Jesse's two acoustic guitars and asked "You guys play guitar?" Returning with the drinks, Jesse answered "Yeah, only Andy is actually a drummer. He plays guitar when we're singing songs with the acoustics'". "You sing, too?" Linda asked. "Yes, care to hear something?" I asked. "Sure!" they replied.
"OK,....... let's see." Jesse said handing me one of the instruments. "Let's play the one we just learned" I said.
"Good Idea" he said and counted us in. He played the intro melody and I played the rhythm. We sang in harmony, doing our best to sound like the Searchers...................
" I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you..... walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you..... walk in the room"
I noticed Linda was staring at me. We continued singing........
" Maybe it's a dream come true
Walkin' right along side of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you.... walk in the room
Yes, Every time that you.... walk in the room"
He played the repeating melody at the end and we finished with a big sustained chord. Linda was still staring.
"How was that?" Jesse asked. "You guys are great!" Faye said. "Don't you think so, Linda?" Linda looked at Faye with a blank expression. "Huh?" she said "Oh, oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I was thinking about the song. I really liked it. I didn't know you guys had a band" Linda continued. "Well, we've got part of a band" I answered
Then Linda asked "What are you two doing tonight?"
"No plans, actually" I answered. "Well, Faye and I were wondering if you'd like to go to a movie and then to the Fun Zone" she asked.
"Sounds like it would be fun, but how would we get there?" I asked playing dumb. "Oh, Dad got me a Shelby Mustang GT-350 for my birthday! I'll drive!" she replied.
I blurted out "A Shelby Cobra?! Does Doug know you have a Shelby?". "Yeah! Raced me the first day and I beat his ass!" Linda announced. "You beat Doug? He hasn't said anything about it, not that he would!" I started to laugh. "Yeah, I beat him and he looked at me like he was going to cry" Linda continued "He didn't like losing to a girl, either".
"What time would you Ladies want to leave?" I asked Linda. "How about 7:00?" she suggested. "Seven it will be!" I replied.
"OK. Faye, lets get going! We have to get ready" Linda said. "Bye Jesse!" Faye called over her shoulder as they left.
I heard them giggling as they walked to the house next door. I motioned for Jesse to follow me into the den and I closed the door behind us.
"I TOLD you! Faye does like you! What the hell are we going to do?" I said nervously. "What they want us to do, Andy!" he said "Hold their hands and kiss 'em during the movie, then hold hands at the Fun Zone and give 'em a goodnight kiss, too!"
"Oh, shit!" I complained.
"Yeah, well I'm not trilled about it either" Jesse said.
"If I gotta kiss Linda tonight, I'm kissing you until then!" I stated and grabbed his tight bubble butt. "Oh! I like that Idea!" he remarked just before our lips met.
