Note: I apologize for the lack of updates. I just came back from an L.A. trip so I didn't really have the chance to work on it. But now I do! =] Okay...on the last chapter when hunter says 'don't eat with your mouth full'...well he means 'don't talk with your mouth full'. LOL. That was a typo. Sorry. I'll fix it up later. Anyways, enjoy the next few chapters!

 

"Rough Night"

"Hah! I win again!" Shane shouts out excitedly while doing a victory dance in front of his goofball friend.

Dustin stares at the television screen blankly after he lost to Shane on Tony Hawk Pro-Skater 2004. "Dude...you hella cheated." He assumes all of a sudden. Shane laughs at him as he drops the Xbox controller on the floor and lays back to relax on the couch. "That was like the 7th time too."

The winner shrugs his shoulder. "How can I possibly cheat?" He asks with a chuckle. "It's a freaking video game for crying out loud! Besides, I rule this game fair and square."

Dustin beams evilly at him. "Alright. Fine. Put in Motorcross Race X 2004! We'll see who wins this time."

Shane rolls his eyes and smirks. "Bring it on, man."

"You're on!" Dustin exclaims, inserting the disc in the Xbox game system. Momentarily, there was a sudden knock on the door. Dustin and Shane both looked up as they watched an exhausted Hunter enter the apartment. They eyed him curiously. "Yo. What's up, man?" Dustin asks, getting up.

Hunter yawns as he slumps on the couch next to Shane. He looks at the dirty blonde and sniffs disgustingly at him. "Ewww..." Shane moved away from Hunter. "You smell like...spaghetti and ravioli mixed with dish soap!" He blurts out.

Dustin leans forward to smell. "Oh man!" He quickly stands back and covers his nose. "He's right. You reek, dude!" Hunter pursed his lips and shrugs. "What did you guys do? Visit the dumps?" He asks factiously.

Hunter beams right at him. "No. I forgot my money and we end up cleaning the dishes after everyone else till the damn place closes." He admits shamefully. Shane and Dustin exchanged looks for a moment and suddenly burst out laughing. Hunter sighs deeply and rolls his eyes at them. "What? What's so funny?"

Shane tries to breathe as he held onto his stomach. "Sorry, man. But that's hilarious!"

"I hear that." Dustin chuckles. "What did Tori say about it?"

"Well..." Hunter raised an eyebrow and sighs. "She wasn't exactly thrilled about washing hundreds of dishes in one night.

"Who would be?" Shane smirks.

Dustin suddenly starts feeling sorry for him. First, Tori arrive unprepared and clueless about their special day...then Hunter forgets his wallet and both end up cleaning the place for hours. That just sucks, he thought. "Man. What a way to celebrate your 6 month anniversary." He includes apologetically.

Hunter shrugs and smiles. "It wasn't that bad." The place suddenly got quiet.

"That's cool." Shane yawns as he rises up from the couch and glances over at his watch. "Well...It's getting late, dudes. I should be heading home. Don't want to catch Hunter's smell." He states jokingly as the dirty blonde playfully punches him on the shoulder. "Naw. I'm kidding. See you guys tomorrow."

"Later, man." Dustin and Hunter both waved off. Shane closes the door behind him and leaves.

"Okay, time for bed." Dustin says, rolling the cord around the Xbox controller and picking up soda cans from the coffee table. "And as for you..." He says, looking up at Hunter. "You need a serious bath...shower...whatever! In fact, stay in there for all I care." Dustin adds with a smirk. Hunter glares at him. The goofball raised an eyebrow as the dirty blonde stood there in silence with a blank stare.  "Dude, don't think I'm joking. Go." He gestures.

Hunter stares at him lazily as he nods and headed towards the bathroom.
