The waves rolled up and down the beach, bringing in the water and leaving it to slide back into the ocean across the cool, moist sand. While Tori would normally be in the water, far from the coast, on her surfboard waiting for the next amazing wave, today, she was sitting in the sand. She sat on her light blue beach towel, with her surfboard resting on the spot beside her. Other her other side, Blake was sitting on his Navy Blue towel. He didn't want to say much to her, in fear of having her lash out at him, but he didn't want her to be alone at the moment. It was devastating enough knowing one of your best friends ruined your wedding day, she didn't need to think that all her other friends were going to abandon her.

Tori finally scoffed, breaking the long silence between the two former blue Rangers. Blake looked at her as she shook her head.

"Can you believe her?" she asked. Blake shrugged his shoulders. He knew she was talking about Kelly, and the answer was definitely supposed to be yes, but he couldn't blame Kelly for doing what she did. He had no idea why she would stop the wedding. What Tori felt for him was her own problem and none of Kelly's business. Unless Kelly had something to gain, Blake couldn't see why she would do it. But he was happy, in a way, that his brother and Tori weren't fully committed yet. While he wanted his blue Ranger to be happy, a part of him still wanted to claim her.

"She's crazy, Tor," Blake answered her. "Right now she's probably beating herself up about it. Maybe she had too much to drink at the bachelorette party?"

"She was my designated driver," Tori shook her head; "There's no way she was drunk. That bitch knew exactly what she was doing. Actually, I take that back, she has no idea what she was doing because we don't have feelings for each other."

Tori turned to Blake waiting for him to confirm her statement. Blake looked down at the sand and started tracing images in it with his finger. Tori leaned in closer.

"Blake, we don't have feelings for each other, right?" she asked.

Blake shrugged, "We did," he said.

"Okay," Tori nodded her head, "We did. We were together once. But that was a long time ago. Before you left for Factory Blue. We've both moved on. I'm with Hunter and you're…"

"Still single," Blake answered her. "Well, actually, there's one girl over in Briarwood who thinks we're dating. But I broke up with her months ago. She just refuses to accept it."

"She's not psycho, is she?" Tori asked with concerned. The lifestyle of the rich and famous (even if Blake wasn't quite there just yet) was a little insane to her, and she knew how some girls could be territorial about their famous, rich boyfriends.

Blake shrugged, "I haven't seen her in weeks. I dumped her again at a race a few weeks ago, in public, and she just left."

Tori nodded while looking out at the water, "Okay, so you're single now, but you still moved on. It's not like we're going to ever go behind Hunter's back and hook up again. It's not like I'll ever leave him for you."

"Maybe Kelly's just trying to protect him. Maybe she's testing you in some weird way."

"Well, it's cost her my friendship," Tori said. She looked back to Blake, "Why are you defending her?"

"I'm not…"

"Yes, you are," Tori laughed. She shoved Blake playfully, "Aw, don't tell me you like her and you don't like hearing me bitch about how much of a bitch she is."

"I don't like her… like that," Blake frowned. Tori laughed again.

"You like Hunter. I mean, like-like Hunter."

Tori expected a disgusted and mortified response from Blake. Instead, he blushed and turned away from her. Her laughter died as she stared at her blue Ranger.

"Ew…"

"No, no," Blake shook his head, realising what she must have thought, "Oh, god no. I don't like Hunter. Not like that. He's my brother! I could never!"

"Well, if you don't like Kelly, and you don't like Hunter, then it must be me," Tori poked Blake playfully on the arm as she said this. Her voice danced in a sing-song tune and she smiled brightly. She was only teasing, but Blake blushed harder.

Tori finally noticed he was nervous around her. She blinked.

"Blake…"

"Who says I like anyone?" Blake shrugged defensively. "Maybe I'm just defending her because I think she might have a point."

Tori's face went from serious to dead serious. It was the kind of expression that Blake and the boys understood as Angry Tori. She let out a snort.

"Wow, being a motocross superstar has really given you a big head, hasn't it?" she asked him. "Almost overnight you have the magical ability to get any girl in your bed, and you honestly think that applies to any and all girls when in reality that only applies to whores and prostitutes."

"I never hired a prostitute," Blake said, "And what are you…"

Tori stood up, grabbing her surfboard as she did.

"I've moved on, Blake. We fooled around once! ONCE! It didn't mean anything and it didn't turn into anything. In case you forgot, I'm in love with Hunter! Not you, but the brother you left behind! You left us behind and you can't pick up again from where you left off."

"Tori…"

"Life moves on," Tori growled. "Get used to it. If you want things to stay the way they were, then you have to make the effort. If not, then we're all just going to finds ways to replace you! That includes Hunter, and that includes me."

The surfer picked up her towel and draped it over her shoulder before turning her back to Blake and storming off. The former ninja had to duck to avoid a smack in the head from Tori's surfboard.

As he watched her walk away, he started playing over what she had just said in his mind. Maybe he was reading into it too much, but was it possible that she and Hunter had replaced him with each other? Was it possible that maybe that was what Kelly was seeing?
