"Perfect." The two muttered sarcastically as they went off to opposite
sides of the room.

9:30 pm.
Blake sighed and leaned his head against the wall he had been sitting against. It had been about an hour and a half, and neither he nor Tori had said a word. This was going to be a very, very long night. He thumped his head against the wall lightly and sighed again. Tori threw him an annoyed look.
"If you sigh like that one more time, I swear, I'll rip out your vocal cords." She said lowly. Blake lifted an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
"My, your rather violent this evening." He said.
"Yeah, well, I don't appreciate being locked in a room in a closed store for the night. I have better things to do ya know."
"Like what?" He asked. Tori gave him a seething look. The fact was, she didn't, but that didn't mean she wanted to be locked in a room with him.
"And that's your business because..?" She asked.
"Just curious. You said you have better things to do, so, what are they?"
"To be honest, practically anything is better then having to look at your face all evening." Tori shot back. Deep inside, she hated saying that to him. Honestly, being able to see his face was quite nice..Or, well, it would've been, if situations were different.
Tori's words cut into Blake like a newly sharpened knife, but he didn't let his hurt show. So, she wanted to play mean and evil? Well, Blake thought to himself, two could play at that game.
"And you think this is my first choice of evening activates? Please." He rolled his eyes. Tori bit her lip and looked away, trying her best to hold in her tears.
"Good. Glad we are in agreement that this is a night from hell. So, why don't we just do each other a favor and just not say anything until this ordeal is over?" Tori said.
"My thoughts exactly." Blake replied.
"Good." Tori spat out, turning away from him.
"Great." Blake said, turning away from her.

10:50
It had been over an hour since a word had been spoken in the room. Tori had her back to him. Tears rolled silently down her cheeks. She covered her mouth to keep herself from making a sound. The last thing she needed was Blake knowing that he had made her cry. Blake slightly turned his head, looking at Tori. He hated the things he said to her, and was hurt over the things she had said to him. Blake watched the form of the girl he was pretty sure he had fallen in love with, the girl he had foolishly thought felt the same. She just sat across the room, with her back to him, not making a sound. He opened his mouth without even thinking.
"It looks as through the others felt there was something we need to talk about." He said. Tori, somewhat startled by the breaking silence, didn't speak, afraid that if she even tried to, all her words would come out in sobs. Blake took a deep breath and turned around fully. "And, since we're going to be here all night, we might as well try." Tori took a deep breath, making sure that her voice was neutral and even.
"Try what?" She asked, her back still to him.
"To talk."
"About what?" Tori asked. "There's absolutely nothing I have to say to you." She added, her voice cold and uncaring. Blake was silent. Part of him wanted to just continue lying to her, try and leave this night unscaved, but another part, a bigger part, wanted to just get this all off his chest. Unfortunately, that part, although bigger, lost.
"Same here." He forced out. Blake mentally chastised himself for being such a chicken. "But, if we're going to be here, we should try.Unless the idea of spending hours and hours staring at the wall is appealing."
"Blake," she said, some of her emotion leaking into her tone. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath. "Jus-Just leave me alone." Blake looked at her. She sounded like she was crying. Was she? Why? He slowly got up from his spot on the floor and made his way to her. Tori could feel him coming closer and silently wished he was just pacing around the room, and not actually coming over to her. Not all wishes are granted.
"What's wrong?" Blake asked. He sat by her and put a hand on her shoulder. Tori shook his hand off.
"Nothing, leave me alone." She said. "Just, leave me alone." Blake sat back.
"Can you at least tell me why it is you suddenly loathe my existence?" Blake asked. Tori was silent. "I mean, I thought things were going OK. Weird dimensional island and my whole brainwash episode aside, I thought-" Tori turned and faced him.
"Oh, spare me." She spat out angrily. "You thought that it was so pathedic that this little blue ranger girl was getting all ga-ga over you, and you decided to milk it for all it was worth. Well, it's over. I'm not going to be some jerk's emotional yo-yo." Fresh tears trickled down her cheeks. Blake's eyes widened.
"What are you talking about?" He asked. Tori scoffed and turned away from him. "I never thought that about you Tori. I never saw you as some 'pathedic little blue ranger girl', at least, not the real me. I can't really speak for brainwashed me. I never saw you as an 'emotional yo-yo'. What ever made you think that?" He asked. Tori didn't speak. Blake sighed.
"Apparantly there is a lot we need to talk about." He muttered. Tori remained silent as her tears continued to roll down her face.

11:45pm
Tori leaned her head against the wall. She had been crying for so long before, that it had felt like her tear ducts were suffering a major drought. She simply stared off into space. Blake sat not to far from her, watching her, waiting to see if she'd say something. He opened his mouth to speak.
"I'm tired." Tori said, cutting off anything he was about to say. Blake looked at her.
"What?" He asked. Tori turned to him.
"I'm tired." She repeated. "It's almost midnight." She paused. "Oh my god, it's almost midnight, my mom must be having a conniption." Blake ran a hand through his hair.
"The guys proberly told her something so she wouldn't worry." He said. A yawn came out of his mouth. He was getting a little tired himself. He looked at Tori. "I guess we should try getting some sleep or something." He said. Tori nodded numbly as she wrapped her arms around herself. Blake watched her. "Are you cold?" He asked gently. Tori looked at him and nodded gently.
"Just a little."
"This place wasn't exactly built for overnight occupants. No heating or anything." He shifted towards her. Tori looked at him, knowing what he was doing, a little apprehensive of having her touch her right now. Blake sat with his chest pressed against her side and wrapped his arms around her. Tori trembled slightly. Blake rubbed his hands up and down her arms.
"Better?" He asked. Tori nodded gently, not trusting her voice at all at the moment. She felt good in his arms. It felt like it did back on the island, when Blake had gotten his memory back and had gotten her out of the water. He held her, and she felt safe. She felt like everything would be all right. As much as she didn't want to, that's exactly how she felt now. She felt safe in his arms. Tori decided to just quit fighting it and settled into his embrace, laying her head back against his chest and letting the rise and fall of his chest lull her to sleep.
Blake felt a sense of deja-vu from holding her like this. Why was it that the only time he could hold Tori was when some gut wrenching drama was taking place? First it was the whole brainwash attempt killing, and now this. He sighed and just decided to sleep. It had been a long couple of days.

7:58 am.
Tori's eyes fluttered opened. For a moment she forgot where she was, and felt Blake's arms around her. She actually thought it was a dream. One of the dreams she had been having of Blake practicly since the day she met him at the track. After a bit, her mind cleared and she realized it wasn't a dream. She really was in Blake's arms. Her thoughts were cut off as she felt Blake stir lightly. She sat up as he woke up. Tori expected him to pull away from her quickly, but was pleasantly surprised when he made no move to let go of her.
"Hey." He said softly.
"Hey." She said, looking into his eyes. Blake held her gaze.
"So, I'm guessing it's morning." Tori said lamely, looking away shyly. She shifted gently in his arms, but he still made no attempt to let her go. Blake looked at her, deep in thought. Something about the way she looked at that moment made him want to stop pretending. He just wanted to hold her, kiss her, and never let her go.
"I-I have to tell you something." He said. Tori looked at him.
"What?" She asked. Blake looked into her eyes.
"I lied to you." He said gently. Tori furrowed her brows in confussion.
"About?" She asked.
"About being here not being my first choice of evening activites." He replied. Tori looked at him, trying to understand what he was getting at. "I think that being with you, here, is proberly number one on the list of great ways to spend a Saturday night/Sunday morning." He said, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Tori looked at him.
"What are you saying?" She asked. She blinked and looked away, scoffing slightly. "You know, you are a horrible joker." She sighed. Blake took her chin gently in his hand and made her look at him.
"I'm not joking." He insisted softly. "What ever gives you the idea I'd ever joke about something like that?" Tori blinked.
"Listen, I know you don't see me..A.Certain way, and eventually I can get over that, but if you're going to constantly torture me and play around with my emotions, I swear I'll-"
"What are you talking about?" He asked. "What makes you think that I don't see you 'a certain way'?" Tori glared at him.
"The other day, by my car. You said 'I'm sorry if I've somehow given you the wrong impression, but I'm not interested in you'." Blake looked at her.
"No I didn't." He said. "You didn't let me finish my sentence. I was going to say that I'm not playing any games with you. You cut me off. You're the one who said that you're not interested in me." He pointed out. Tori's eyes widened.
"Are you serious?" She asked. Blake nodded. "Oh my god." She breathed out.
"Wait, so, that's why you've been acting like I just ran over your dog or something?" He asked. "What gave you the impression that I wasn't interested in you anyway?" He asked.
"Well, the way you were looking at me when I was singing. You looked horrified. Totally freaked that I had just poured my heart out like that." Blake chuckled gently. Tori glared at him.
"I was not horrified, or freaked. I was completely, totally and utterly mystified by this beautiful sired who was on stage. And I was happy. I mean, I have..Certain feelings for you, and when you were singing, I got the feeling that you might've had the same certain feelings." Tori's jaw fell open.
"Are you serious?" She asked. Blake nodded.
"So, yeah, I have certain feelings for you." He sighed. "Tori, I like you, a lot." Tori suddenly became very fasinated by the floor. Blake heard her mutter something. "What?" He asked.
"Iliedtoyoutoo." She muttered quickly. Blake lifted her face up and met her gaze. Tori sighed. "I am interested in you. Very interested." Blake smiled.
"So, this was all just one big misunderstanding?" He asked. Tori couldn't help but laugh at the hilarity of it.
"Yeah." Tori said. "I guess so."
"Good." He said softly. "So, now that's cleared up, there's really only one thing left to do."
"Decide wether we want to kill the other guys or thank them?" She smiled.
"That too, but, I had something else in mind." He said with a slight mischievious glint in his eyes. He gently cupped her face and drew closer to her. All time, all things other then one another seemed to disappear. Their lips where just inches apart when the door opened.
"What the heck is going on here?!" Came a voice. Blake and Tori broke apart to see Kelly standing in the doorway of the backroom.
"Kelly!" Came Dustin's voice as he and Hunter walked into the store. "What are you doing here?" He asked, his tone being that of surprise, and fear of what punishment his boss would deliver.
"I thought you said she had a dentist appointment." Hunter said, glaring at Dustin.
"His receptiontist called and told me he cancelled on me. His wife gave birth last night, so, of course, he wasn't going to be coming into work today."
"Oh, wow, congrats to him." Dustin said, trying to distract Kelly from the fact that they had locked Blake and Tori in the store all night. Kelly glared at him.
"Don't even try it." She said. "Mind telling me why I wasn't informed that my store had suddenly become a Motel 6?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Uh." Dustin and Hunter uttered, really not sure what to say.
"It was my fault Kelly." Blake said. He had gotten up and helped Tori to her feet. "Tori and I were just talking about the new Factory Blue team, and I guess the guys forgot we were back here and locked the door." Blake said covering for the guys. Kelly looked at him, buying his story.
"Well, mind explaining the certain position I found you two in?" Kelly asked.
"Position?" Dustin and Hunter smirked, looking at the two.
"We fell asleep.It was cold in there." Tori said. It was partly the truth. Kelly sighed.
"All right. Fine. Just make sure it doesn't happen again." She scowlded, going about and getting the store ready to open up. Dustin and Hunter looked at Blake and Tori.
"So, what's this about a certain position?" Dustin asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Blake, you dog you." Hunter chuckled. Tori sighed. She looked at Blake.
"I better get home. I must look horrible." She sighed. Blake laughed.
"Not possible." He smiled. Tori smiled and tried to hide the blush coming to her cheeks.
"I really should go." She said, smiling. She walked backwards to the door. She and Blake kept their eyes on eachother, smiling sweetly.
"They are so sweet, it's kinda sickening." Hunter cracked. Tori's elbow flew back, catching Hunter's gut. "Oooh." He exclaimed.
"Don't push it, Hunter. You're lucky I'm not killing you right now." She said, still smiling at Blake. Blake smiled.
"Hey, we did you guys a favor." Dustin pointed out. Tori rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." She looked at Blake and smiled again. "I really should go." She turned and headed out the door. She left the store.
())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((
Tori left the store, pulling her car keys from her pocket. Just as she was about to get to her car, she felt someone grab her wrist and spin her around. Before she had a chance to react, she felt soft lips on hers. She gave a surprised squeak. She felt arms wrap around her waist. It was Blake. She smiled to herself and sank into the soft, sweet kiss. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders. After a bit, the two slowly pulled apart slightly, their foreheads touching.
"Sorry." He said softly. "But, seeing as the last two times I've tried to do this, we've been inturupted, I just had to kiss you, or else I'd go insane." Tori laughed softly.
"No complaints here." She smiled. Blake smiled and kissed her.
())))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((()))))))))))))
Hunter and Dustin watched the two kissing and smiled.
"Aww, ain't they cute?" Hunter laughed. Dustin looked at him.
"I hope you realize that we have opened a can of worms here." Dustin said.
"What do you mean?" Hunter asked. Dustin chuckled.
"You really think those two are going to just be completely the same, with no sickening public displays of affection?" Dustin asked. Hunter's grin faded.
"Oh, crap. You mean, instead of looking disgustingly miserable, the two of them are going to be looking disgustingly sweet and dreamy eyed?" Dustin nodded. "Aw man, I knew we should've minded our own buissness." Hunter groaned as he went to help Kelly set up the store. Dustin laughed and gave one last look and the newly formed happy couple outside.
()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((
"I really should get to work, or something." Blake muttered against Tori's lips.
"Mmm-hmmm, I really should go home." She replied. The two kissed again, not really wanting to part.
"Can I see you later?" He asked.
"If seeing me later involves some more of this, you'll be surprised at how quickly I can go home, change, eat something and come back." Tori grinned.
"It might." Blake smiled, kissing her soft lips. "I just might have to time you."
"Hey, guys, I'm happy you guys are happy, but, well, Kelly's already pretty ticked as it is, so, I think it's best if Blake comes in here." They heard Dustin yell over to them. Blake turned his head and saw Dustin poking his head out of the store. He groaned slightly.
"He's right." Blake said, looking at Tori, his arms still not leaving her.
"For once in his life." Tori cracked softly. She smiled, slowly pulling her arms away. "Besides, I'm afraid that if we spend too much time together without at least a five minute break, I think we might get tired of each other pretty quickly."
"I'd be willing to test that theory, how about you?" Blake grinned. Tori smiled and the two gave each other one last, long goodbye kiss.
"I'll see you." She smiled as the two slowly broke apart. Blake gently took her hand in his.
"Yeah, I'll be waiting." He let her go. Tori's smile reached from ear to ear as she got in her car and drove away, prepared to put The Flash to shame at how quickly she'd make her way back to Blake.
THE END .........for now, heehee :-D

"Not possible." He smiled. Tori smiled and tried to hide the blush coming to her cheeks.
"I really should go." She said, smiling. She walked backwards to the door. She and Blake kept their eyes on eachother, smiling sweetly.
"They are so sweet, it's kinda sickening." Hunter cracked. Tori's elbow flew back, catching Hunter's gut. "Oooh." He exclaimed.
"Don't push it, Hunter. You're lucky I'm not killing you right now." She said, still smiling at Blake. Blake smiled.
"Hey, we did you guys a favor." Dustin pointed out. Tori rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." She looked at Blake and smiled again. "I really should go." She turned and headed out the door. She left the store.
())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((
Tori left the store, pulling her car keys from her pocket. Just as she was about to get to her car, she felt someone grab her wrist and spin her around. Before she had a chance to react, she felt soft lips on hers. She gave a surprised squeak. She felt arms wrap around her waist. It was Blake. She smiled to herself and sank into the soft, sweet kiss. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders. After a bit, the two slowly pulled apart slightly, their foreheads touching.
"Sorry." He said softly. "But, seeing as the last two times I've tried to do this, we've been inturupted, I just had to kiss you, or else I'd go insane." Tori laughed softly.
"No complaints here." She smiled. Blake smiled and kissed her.
())))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((()))))))))))))
Hunter and Dustin watched the two kissing and smiled.
"Aww, ain't they cute?" Hunter laughed. Dustin looked at him.
"I hope you realize that we have opened a can of worms here." Dustin said.
"What do you mean?" Hunter asked. Dustin chuckled.
"You really think those two are going to just be completely the same, with no sickening public displays of affection?" Dustin asked. Hunter's grin faded.
"Oh, crap. You mean, instead of looking disgustingly miserable, the two of them are going to be looking disgustingly sweet and dreamy eyed?" Dustin nodded. "Aw man, I knew we should've minded our own buissness." Hunter groaned as he went to help Kelly set up the store. Dustin laughed and gave one last look and the newly formed happy couple outside.
()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((
"I really should get to work, or something." Blake muttered against Tori's lips.
"Mmm-hmmm, I really should go home." She replied. The two kissed again, not really wanting to part.
"Can I see you later?" He asked.
"If seeing me later involves some more of this, you'll be surprised at how quickly I can go home, change, eat something and come back." Tori grinned.
"It might." Blake smiled, kissing her soft lips. "I just might have to time you."
"Hey, guys, I'm happy you guys are happy, but, well, Kelly's already pretty ticked as it is, so, I think it's best if Blake comes in here." They heard Dustin yell over to them. Blake turned his head and saw Dustin poking his head out of the store. He groaned slightly.
"He's right." Blake said, looking at Tori, his arms still not leaving her.
"For once in his life." Tori cracked softly. She smiled, slowly pulling her arms away. "Besides, I'm afraid that if we spend too much time together without at least a five minute break, I think we might get tired of each other pretty quickly."
"I'd be willing to test that theory, how about you?" Blake grinned. Tori smiled and the two gave each other one last, long goodbye kiss.
"I'll see you." She smiled as the two slowly broke apart. Blake gently took her hand in his.
"Yeah, I'll be waiting." He let her go. Tori's smile reached from ear to ear as she got in her car and drove away, prepared to put The Flash to shame at how quickly she'd make her way back to Blake.
THE END .........for now, heehee :-D
