Lil lay in 'her' bed, just sleeping, but not for long. She was awoken by the sound of hammering coming from the back yard.

"For fuck sake Tommy" she mumbled as she got out from under the sheets and looked out the window.

She looked out, but didn't see Tommy it was Kimi instead. She was hammering sheets of plywood onto a wooden frame. She was building a mini ramp

"KIMI WHAT ARE YOU DOING IT'S 8 AM!" she shouted

Kimi looked up from were she was.

"Oh morning Lil did I wake you?"

"YES!!!"

"Sorry, once I've done this last section I'm finished"

"Well do it quieter!"

Kimi laughed and went back to what she was doing. Lil closed her window and went back to bed. She put her pillow on her head to drown out the sound of hammering.

It wasn't long until Kimi had finished and tried it out. She did a few simple stalls onto the copingand even managed to pull an air but couldn't really get any tricks in. When she had stopped she stood there proud, until she saw Tommy rushing out through the door half dressed and his hair still wet. Kimi blushed again when he saw him. She thought of him taking her in his arms and smiled again.

"What you doing!!" he said before tripping over a sheet of plywood

"Oh are you ok?"

"I'm fine I'm fine" he said getting up "but what are you doing?"

"I finished your ramp" she said proudly

"But it's my ramp I wanted to finish it"

"Hey stop being such a baby"

"And you rid it before me!"

"Aww come on Tommy it's not that bigger deal"

"Maybe not to you, but it is to me. It cost me alot of money for this stuff and I put in a lot of work on it. I really wanted to be the one to finish it off"

"I'm sorry Tommy I didn't know it's so important to you"

He sighed "It's ok. Sorry for getting angry. We cool?"

"As cool as can be, come on get your board and lets ride it"

He smiled at her before heading back into the house to get his board. She watched him and fantasised about him again. She tried to cover it up quickly

"And remember your shirt next time" she shouted after him before trying the ramp out again.

Tommy soon joined her and was performing a few of his favourite tricks. Tommy was halfway through performing a trick when Chuckie and Phil grabbed him again.

"Awww fuck man I was doing really well"

"We know that's why we stoped ya" said Phil laughing

"Why do you keep takling me whenever I do anything?" he said with the 2 guys still on top of him

"It's a guy thing we have to beat on each other"

"You guys never beat on each other only me"

"Yeah because your shorter than me" said Chuckie

"And your both shorter than me" said Phil finally getting up.

"Well beat up Chuckie" stated Tommy as Chuckie got up to.

He got up and brushed himself off

"What do you think I do when your out skating with your girlfriend"

Tommy blushed

"She isn't my girlfriend"

"Come on man you 2 are so alike. I mean what your doing for her birthday is pretty big"

"It's not that big"

"Your whisking her away to see her favourite band on her birthday. Most girls would kill for a guy to do that for them" pointed out Chuckie

"Yea, but keep it hush she's only there" he pointed through the kitchen window were she was sitting with Lil

===Kimi POV===

She sat there with a cup of coffee chatting with Lil

"So how are things going with Tommy?"

"What do you mean?"

Lil smiled at Kimi "Come on it must be obvious to you"

"What's obvious?"

"That your in love with him"

Kimi quickly turned red

"I don't have a crush on Tommy"

"Yeah course you don't. I mean you wern't constantly staring at him today"

"Well I was watching him skate. What's wrong with that?"

"Of course you were"

"Stop it Lil. It isn't like that"

"So would you mind if I asked him out"

Kimi was taking a back

"What? Why? No, Yeah, why would I care?"

"I'm just kidding I was just testing you"

"So...did I fail miserably?"

Lil nodded

"I dunno why I'm like this with him now. I mean we had 18 years and nothing. So what's different now?"

"Maybe something just clicked"

"But when and why?"

"Well he is a great guy maybe you should ask him out"

"No way! He's just split up with Megan and she was so sweet and kind. I could never stand up against her"

"Yeah she was cool, but that's over now."

Kimi gazed out the window and saw Tommy, Phil and Chuckie playfighting in the garden. She sighed.

"Stop doing this to yourself. Ask him out already"

"I'm not really his type though"

"Your just a female version of him. You skate, you listen to the same music, you both don't realise your right for each other. I could go on..."

"Ok ok. Geez give me a break."

Lil smiled sweetly

"Well here's your chance. They're coming in"

Kimi jumped to her feet then sat back down

"Do I look ok? Does my breath smell? Do have anything in my teeth.."

"Kimi you look fine. Just talk to him"

And with that Tommy, Phil and Chuckie came in.

"Hey guys you finished being macho for today?" asked Lil as Chuckie walked up to her and planted a kiss on her lips

"Yeah for now" he said with a smile

"You did a good job on the ramp Kim" said Tommy taking a drink out of the fridge

Lil looked at Kimi and tried to get her to say something back

"Err.. thanks Tommy you did most of the work though"

Lil slapped her forehead and got up from the table.

"Come on babe you have to take me to the mall."

"What? Why?"

"For that thing REMEMBER?" she said while winking

"Oh yeah the thing, come on Phil we better go"

Phil just looked at the 2 dumbfounded, but decided to follow anyway. Leaving Tommy and Kimi alone

"On a scale of 1 -10 how wierd would you say that was?" asked Kimi

"Definatly Dil wierd"

They both laughed as Tommy tooka seat at the table

"So what you got me for my birthday?"

"Don't think I'll tell you again, you've already tricked me last year"

"Well it better be better than the present you got me last year"

"What was wrong with the present I got you last year?"

"How many people get given a Cynthia doll for their 17th birthday?"

"You said you liked it"

"Well I couldn't really say take it back to the store now could I?"

"You did the year before"

Kimi burst out laughing

"We're like and old married couple arn't we" said Tommy

Kimi bit her lip and laughed nervously

"Hehe..,yeah"

"Is something bothering you Kim?"

She looked out the window and sighed

"No nothing's wrong"

"Ok if your sure" he said before taking another drink

"Tommy?"

"Yeah what is it?"

"Would...would you..." she looked up at him and he was smiling at her. "Would you drive me to work today?" She said in a depresed tone

"Yeah sure. When you gotta be there?"

"In an hour"

"That's cool. Gives us a chance to get another quick skate in."

She smiled at her friend before stealing his drink from him and finished it.

"Why do you always do that?"

"Hey I'm a bitch" She said winking.

They both laughed before heading back out and onto the mini ramp. They did a few of their favourite tricks before heading over to Fastrax.

"Tommy?"

"Yeah what's up?"

"Nothing really, but would you stay with me for a while at work."

"Why?"

"It's just that it's always dead at this time. I mean all the kids are still at school"

"Err... yeah I'll stay with you for a while. I gotta go do something at 1 though"

"Oooh could it be for my birthday?"

Tommy looked down

"No..." he tried to think of an excuse

Kimi smiled she knew he was doing something for her.

"Well I promise I won't ask anymore"

Tommy sighed in relief as he pulled in next to Fastrax. They both got out and Tommy locked the doors. When inside Kimi ran behind the counter and sat next to the till.

"Wow Kimi. Only 20 minutes late" said Mr. McQueen coming out from the back

"Err yeah sorry about that. We were skating on the mini ramp Tommy built and lost track of time"

"You built a mini ramp Tommy?"

"Yeah it's set up in the back yard why?"

"Oh nothing it's just my AM team is looking for a few new skaters since Dave and John were picked up by Element"

"Really that's awesome for them"

"Yeah and for you it gives you a chance to join the team"

"Sounds cool what do I need to do?"

"Well give me a video of your best skating and I'll see if I'll put you on. Maybe even free stuff"

"Wow that sounds cool" said Kimi who was listening intently

"Yeah it'll be intresting having a boyfriend and girlfriend on the team"

Kimi and Tommy blushed

"Were not going out"

"Oh...sorry guys I just assumed..."

"Just because we hang out and live together doesn't mean were going out"

"You live together?"

"Long story. I got all my friends living with me until college starts"

"Ok...so will you get a video to me soon?"

"Yeah we got some stuff from yesterday that should impress you"

"Like what?"

"A couple of big airs a few decent grinds, flip tricks oh and I darkslided the whole stair rail"

"I'll have to see that sounds impressive"

"It was. And that was us not even trying"

"Well get me that video ASAP"

"Give me 5 minutes and I'll go home and get it."

Kimi smiled as she watched Tommy rush out and into his car. She thought of him and her again. Realising if he did join the team they would spend more time together. That thought made her smile as she drifted off into another fantasy.
