I do not own Tremors. I only own Taylor.

Story Start

"I can't believe I'm going out in the middle of nowhere just to see Uncle Earl, stubborn man could have visited us, but oh no," Taylor grumbled as she drove down the dusty dirt road in her truck. The red truck was covered in dirt thanks to all of the dirt roads out here. She had been driving for the last day and a half to visit her uncle. Her family wanted to make sure the man was alive and she was volunteered to come out here. She loved her uncle but she hated where he lived.

Grumbling she pushed her long black hair out of the way of her stormy grey eyes. Her tan skin shone in the sunlight streaming in through the open truck window. She worked on a cattle ranch with her family in Texas so she was always out in the sun. However, she was not happy about going to the Perfection Valley, which was really just a ghost town.

"This place is a dump," Taylor muttered as she drove into the tiny town and parked her car in front of the market. She smirked when she saw her uncle's old blue truck. "Found you," she sang out deviously as she got out of her truck and closed the door. She ignored the teen that was openly staring at her from where he had been bouncing a basketball on a car. She smirked as he took in the sight of her wearing boots, shorts, and a white tank top.

The smirk grew wider as she opened the door to the store and spotted her uncle with some guy at the counter, two beers being set down and opened in front of them. "Just what I need," she thought and walked quietly and quickly. "What a great welcome gift," she said aloud as she reached around her uncle and took his beer.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Earl Bass shouted as he spun around to take back his beer. However, he froze when he saw his niece standing there drinking his beer. "Damn, why are you here?" he questioned her with a sigh after she finished his beer. He ignored the fact that Valentine was looking his niece up and down.

"Well the family wanted to make sure that you're still alive out here in nowhere Perfection, and here I am. Trust me I would much rather be back home on the ranch, not here," Taylor said handing her uncle the empty beer bottle. "But anyways, I have to stay with you for a week or the family won't believe you're alive so I hope you have room for one. If not then I'll sleep in my truck," she finished and smirked at her uncle before noticing the guy staring at her with his jaw open.

"Hi, I'm Taylor, Earl's niece," she introduced herself to the guy.

"Valentine, Val for short," he finally said and then shook off his little bit of nerves. "You didn't tell me you had a niece, Earl," he spoke to her uncle.

"Well now you know," Earl grumbled before jumping when the cooler in the corner of the room started shaking and making loud noises. "Come on we have to get to the trash at Nestor's place," he said and grabbed Taylor's arm, pulling her outside of the shop. "You're helping too," he said with a grin.

"Of course I am," Taylor mumbled but she went along with it. She had nothing else to do and nowhere else to go in this tiny town. "Can I at least drive the bulldozer?" she questioned when her eyes spotted the machine amongst a bunch of trash.

"No, that's my job," Earl said with a smirk.

"Hey you said I'd get to do that this time," Val piped in as he walked faster to join the family members. He gave Taylor another look up and down before a small smile crossed his face. She wasn't his ideal blonde perfect woman, but she was nice on the eyes. "Now if only she wasn't Earl's niece," he thought.

"You know this wasn't the welcome I expected," Taylor yelled after yet another bag of trash busted open and scattered its contents all over the ground.

"Yeah well I didn't want you to come out here anyway," Earl shouted back before he took a seat on some old seats with Val. The two grabbed some beers out of a toilet and Taylor rolled her eyes. "You're not getting this one," Earl yelled as he quickly started chugging the beer.

Taylor just picked up a small rock and threw it at her uncle's stomach before taking off her gloves. She looked around at the desolate area before sighing. "So what do you two do for fun around here?" she asked.

"You're looking at it, unfortunately," Val said while holding up his beer.

"Haven't you two ever thought about leaving this place?" Taylor asked them as she took a seat on the toilet, which was empty of beers now. She had wanted one but oh well, she'd get another later.

"Well I was trying to Earl we should leave," Val said and gave an annoyed look to Earl, who just rolled his eyes. "There's nothing for us here," he continued with a glare.

"There are plenty of jobs where I live and work. Heck, you two could even work on my family's ranch," Taylor suggested with a shrug. She knew her uncle wasn't doing so well out here since there was no way there was enough handyman jobs out here to pay any type of bills.

"You know what, I'm sick and tired of you complaining so we're leaving. We're packing up and leaving now," Earl shouted and Val yelled excited. "Go back home," he said and pointed at Taylor.

"You're kidding yourself if you think I'm leaving. This is the first vacation I've had in years, and if that involves a road trip with you two then I'm cool with that," she said with a laugh as she walked up and slung her arms around Val and her uncle's shoulders. "I'll even help you guys pack," she said and started walking forward making them move with her.

"Yeah she's definitely related to you," Val said later after they had reached their home and started loading the truck. They didn't load anything in Taylor's truck even though she offered. "She's kind of hot though, not blonde like my perfect girl, but still hot," he said and yelled when Earl smacked his head.

"Keep your hands and eyes to yourself, jerkoff," Earl told his friend.

"What? Just a minute ago you acted like you can't stand her, so what's wrong with me looking at her?" Val questioned while rubbing his head.

"I can't stand her, but she's family, and you have to work for it if you want to be with anyone in my family," Earl said and poked Val's chest.

"All right you two alpha males, you're all packed up so quit fighting and let's get out of this dust ball," Taylor said with a smirk as she leaned against her truck. She winked at Val before hopping in the truck and backing out of the driveway so her uncle could lead the way out of town.
