Since the writers didn't write a first meeting scene for Chris and Hudson, I thought I would have a go. This is the story version (I converted it from the script that I wrote a while ago) of how I imagined that they met. This would have appeared in episode 6676 (aired 1st July 2013). Only the plot and Chris' TAFE mates are my own invention; everything else is courtesy of Neighbours.
Chapter 1
Chris was walking through the university campus with his TAFE mates, Alex, Jack and Sean. Jack – as usual- had his head in is phone. Sean poked him.
"Do you ever put that thing down?"
"Yeah, sounds great" Jack replied, clearly not paying attention. The other boys sniggered and shook their heads. Jack's eyes widened, "uh guys, I think we might have to scrap our plans for tonight, apparently a huge storm's gonna hit"
Alex rolled his eyes, "great" he said, sarcastically.
Behind them a voice broke in "I know, I wanted to fit another training session in as well!"
Jack spun around and grinned, "Hudson!" he exclaimed, "hey mate"
He pulled him into a hug. Chris watched, slightly confused. He took notice of this new guy: he was very attractive, dark hair, dark eyes and a muscular build. Chris shook his head, 'don't get ahead of yourself Pappas' he told himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by Jack who was still buzzing about his friend, "You remember Sean and Alex, right?"
Hudson chuckled and nodded, "how could I forget?" then shook their hands. He noticed Chris, who was still staring at him, both in confusion and interest "Hey" he said, smiling.
Hudson noted this stranger in front of him: he was very attractive with his dark messy hair, deep blue eyes and cute freckles.
"Hey" Chris responded then looked away nervously
"Oh Hudson, this is Chris- he's in our TAFE class. Chris, this is Hudson, an old mate of mine" Jack said.
Hudson pretended to be offended "'an old mate'?" he quoted.
Jack got defensive, "well I haven't seen you in years!" he turned to Chris, "Hudson and I used to live in the same street, we went through school together, but then he decided to be different when we left!"
Hudson shrugged, "Well I'm not interested in mechanics"
"Whoare-" Chris realised what he was about to say and corrected himself, "what are you interested in?"
Hudson grinned, realising Chris' near-mistake and replied, "Swimming"
Jack playfully punched Hudson's shoulder, "Yeah, Hudson's gonna be a world champion swimmer, aren't you?"
Hudson held up his fingers, which were crossed, "here's hoping!"
"Well we should drink to that" Sean said, "We have time before the storm, don't we?"
Jack checked his phone "Yeah. Are you guys up for it?"
They all nodded in agreement.
Thanks for reading! There is one more part which I will upload soon. Please rate and review.
