QUICK SUMMARY: One arrives in Blue Bay Harbor on Christmas Eve.

"The Arrival"

Hours later...

"Alright!" Tori enters Ninja ops, carrying loads of grocery bags. "Let's get the party started shall we?" Shane and Cam both turned around. She beams at the sight of Shane. "YOU. I should've known you were gonna be here."

Shane gives her an innocent smile. His eyes were now focused on the stuff she was carrying. "Right on! Food!" He got up and tried to stick his hand in one of the grocery bags, but Tori slaps it. He frowns at the blonde as she laid the bags down.

"Yeah right!" She chuckles.

"Wow. Look at all this food." Cam says with a smile. "This is great!"

"Yup! Now all we have to do is cook it." Tori exclaims.

"Cook?" Shane questions. "Did you just say cook?"

She smiles. "Yes, cook. What do you expect? Eat raw food on Christmas Eve?" Tori sniggers.

Shane scratches his head. "But umm...we don't have a stove or any kitchen tools here to cook all this stuff."

The blonde rolls her eyes. "Of course not. That's why we're going to my house."

"Then why did you bring all this food here?" He asks.

She smirks. "Oh Shane, don't think you'll get away with it this time. I'm just dropping off candy, cookies, and cupcakes. And since you're here..." She continues, "You're gonna come with me and help cook!"

"What?!"

"Yeah. Isn't it great?" Tori smiles.

"But-But I don't even like my own cooking." Shane whines. Cam laughs at him.

"Don't worry about it. I'll be there."

Shane frowns. "Aren't I the lucky one?" He stated in sarcasm.

"Here's your change. Have a good day, ma'am." Hunter puts the receipt in the bag and hands it over to the lady. "Have a Merry Christmas now."

"You too, young man and have a Happy New Year." She smiles as she leaves Storm Chargers.

"Next in line please." Hunter calls out as a man stood in front of him. "Hey there. Will this be it for you?" He asks as the man nods his head. "Alright."

"Hey, Hunter." Dustin hisses as he comes up to him.

"Dude, can't you see I'm busy right now?" Hunter groans as he opens the cash register.

"Listen, there's this girl in the corner that totally has her eye on you."

"What?"

"I'm serious, dude. She's been standing there, staring. And believe me, she's pretty hot." Dustin adds.

"Man, go away. Not now." Hunter grunts as he hands the man his bag. "Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year." He smiles.

"Here." Dustin shoves Hunter to the side. "Let me take over. Now go talk to her, man!"

"What? Why?" Hunter asks.

"Well...I think she wants your assistance more than mine. So go! She's near the surfboards."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because she's pretty cute!" Dustin exclaims.

Hunter laughs. "Marah is so gonna kick your butt once she finds out that you've been checking out some other chick."

"Well she won't." He gives Hunter the evil eye.

"Right. I'll uhh go now."

Hunter walks away.

"Next in line please." Dustin calls out, ignoring the customer in front of him. His eyes were gazed on Hunter and the attractive brunette.

"Um excuse me." The young man from the counter tries to get his attention. "Hey dude." He taps Dustin on his shoulder.

"Wait up." He shrugs it off. "Oh man. He is so into her!" Dustin grins, watching Hunter and the brunette exchange hand shakes. The young customer stares at him weirdly.

"Uh yeah? Dustin?" He calls out his name.

"Man, hold up." Dustin groans in annoyance, not looking up.

"Dustin! You are so close in getting fired." Kelly says, standing in front of him.

"Huh?" He looks up. "OH! I'm so sorry, Kel. You're uhh back already!"

She smiles. "You have a surprise customer in front of you."

"OH! Opps. Sorry." He chuckles, turning around. Dustin looks up at the young man. "Hey there. How are you today?" He stops and gasps. Dustin slowly lifts his head up. "Oh...my...God... "He rubs his eyes. "NO WAY! It's YOU!"

Kelly smiles.

"Dustin. My man. Long time no see." He responds, shaking hands with him.

Dustin chokes. "I can't believe it! Dude, Hunter!" He yells across the shop. "Look who's here!"

Hunter turns around. "Great." He sighs. "I uh got to go." He says to the brunette. "Umm...catch yah later?"

"Of course, dude." She playfully nudges his shoulder. "You look good."

Hunter squints at her. "Umm...thanks, I guess. You too." He coughs. "Dude, you still talk like that?"

"Heck yah, man."

He laughs. "Alright, man--" Hunter pauses. "Umm...I mean woman." Hunter laughs. "Take it easy. Thanks for visiting."

"Hunter, hurry up!" Dustin yells impatiently.

"Well, you're friend is calling you," The brunette smiles. She looks over at their direction and opens her mouth in surprise. "Oh my...isn't that your brother waving at us?"

"What?" He quickly turns himself around. His eyes open wide in shock. "Blake!"
