The Coming of the Fire Storm
Chapter 13
In My End, Is My Beginning, Part III
It was truly a time to celebrate. Lothor seemed to be gone, and Dustin, Tori, Blake, Tammy and Sydney were no longer dead.
They had all voted to go clubbing, to a very posh club know as 'Hedley's'. It was Shane's favourite club, and he wanted a chance to impress Tammy with his dance moves.
Everyone had agreed to meet outside Hedley's at nine. Hunter and Blake were the first to arrive. They were both dressed in black trousers and swanky jackets, but Hunter wore and crimson shirt, and Blake wore navy.
"Where is everyone?" asked Blake, feeling rather impatient. Hunter was about to check his watch, when Cam, Shane and Dustin walked round the corner and into the Thunder's view.
"What's up, dude?" Dustin said, with a huge boyish grin on his face.
"Hello to you too, Dustin," said Hunter rolling his eyes at Shane, collapsed into silent laughs. "Does anyone know where the girls have got to?"
"Tori said she was having Tammy and Sydney over to do hair and make-up," Shane said, recovering from his laughing, "knowing them, they'll take hours."
"What was that you were saying, Shane?" came a voice from behind him. Shane spun around, and was faced with his new girlfriend.
"T...Tammy!" he stuttered. "You look stunning."
Tammy had thrown on a strapless deep purple mini dress and a pair of stilettos. Her hair had been straightened and tied back with an oriental style clip.
Behind Tammy stood Sydney, wearing a bright pink mini dress with long flowing sleeves. A pair of glittery high-heels glistened at her feet.
Finally, Tori stood with one hand on her hip, clutching a deep blue purse and wearing a tight baby blue number and a pair of stripy heels. Blake also noticed a silver charm bracelet glimmering at her wrist, which he had given her a few weeks ago. It still had its shine.
Blake stepped up to Tori, and pulled out a beautiful red rose.
"For you," he said with an irresistible smile. He kissed her hand. "I love you."
"You're such a charmer!" Tori said, winking at him. She grabbed hand and pulled through the doors and into the club.
"Does anyone have a rose for me?" Tammy asks, dropping a huge hint. Shane stepped forward.
"As a matter of fact, I do," Shane said cheekily, revealing a cute pink rose from inside his jacket. Tammy's eyes lit up.
"Thank you!" she squealed. Shane interlocked his arm with Tammy's, and led her inside. The others stood there awkwardly, until Cam stepped forward.
"May I escort you in?" he asked Sydney with a cute smile.
"Yes, you may," Sydney replied, happy someone had finally asked her. Being the only ones left, Dustin stepped up to Hunter. He put on a stupid cheesy grin.
"May I escort you in, Hunterette?" he said stupidly.
Hunter went all girly.
"Oh, yes please!" Hunter replied in a highly girly voice. They both skipped inside, making the bouncers at the door laugh uncontrollably.
Inside was pitch-black for a moment. Music pounded in their ears. Suddenly, bright flashing lights zoomed across the dance floor, revealing young men and women dancing.
Hunter and Dustin located the others sat at the bar, ordering drinks. They joined them.
"May have a Bloody Mary for my date and I to share?" Hunter said. The others stared at him.
"Stop fooling about, guys," Tori said, "there are plenty of girls in here, go chat one up."
"Gladly," Dustin said, smoothing back his badly gelled hair. "Watch Dustin in action!"
The rangers' eyes followed Dustin to a pretty brunette on the other end of the bar. She was by herself and staring into her drink.
"Excuse me?" Dustin said. "Would you like to dance with me?" The brunette looked up.
"MARAH!!!" Dustin exclaimed, releasing who she was.
"Dustin?" she said.
"What are you doing here?" asked Dustin. "Shouldn't you be trying to find your evil uncle?"
"No," Marah replied. "I've given up on trying being evil; I'm turning over a new leaf."
"Come and join us then!" suggested Dustin. Marah eyed the others. They'd heard everything. They all nodded their heads. "It's a time to celebrate, Marah, come on!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her over.
"Hi, Marah, what brings you here?" asked Cam.
"You heard," Marah said dully. "I've got no friends, no-where to live and no life."
"You've got friends," said Shane. "as long as you stop being an evil witch."
"Deal," Marah said, still trying to avoid their eyes.
"Come and dance with me," Tori said to Blake. He put down his drink and they swept onto the dance floor, followed by Shane and Tammy, Dustin and Marah and Cam and Sydney.
Hunter was left by himself drinking his beer. He watched the others in awe, wishing he had someone.
'I don't need anyone to love,' he thought miserably, 'I've got myself, Blake and lots of friends. What more do I need?'
Hunter watched Blake plant a gentle kiss on Tori's soft pink lips, and he forced himself to look away.
Why did the story have to end like this? Why was he the only one left out? I suppose he'd never know.
Cam seemed to have gone to the little boy's room, as Sydney was walking back over to Hunter, puffing from dancing. She looked a little red in the face.
"Want a drink?" offered Hunter as she sat down.
"Oh yes, please," she said breathlessly, "a Diet Coke, please." Hunter paid for the drink, and Sydney began gulping it down.
"Steady on, girl," Hunter said, bemused.
"What, you've never seen a girl drink before?" Sydney said, slamming her glass on the bar.
"Actually, no," he confessed.
"Two pints, please," Sydney said to the barman. "Are you willing to bet on it?"
"Go on then," Hunter said, feeling much more cheerful, "ten dollars?"
"Make it twenty," Sydney said as she handed Hunter his beer. She took out her purse and put a twenty dollar bill on the bar. Hunter followed suit.
"On the count of three," Hunter said, "one, two...THREE!"
Both immediately began gulping down their beer. Hunter dribbled most of it down his front. Before Hunter had drained even half of his pint, Sydney banged her glass on the bar, and wiped her mouth. She grinned at Hunter's gob smacked look, and slid the forty dollars off the bar and into her purse.
"Wow, how did you do that?" Hunter asked. "I guess you're one of those hard-going girls."
"A bit of both," Sydney replied, glad he was taking an interest. "You know, I really need to take up a sport. I'm thinking of doing motocross. Do you fancy teaching me?"
"Sure! I'd love to teach you!" Hunter said. "But I assure you, it's not easy."
Sydney let out a laugh.
"I'm up for a challenge any time," she announced.
Hunter's mood brightened that evening and he was no longer feeling left out. He could now watch Blake dancing with Tori and not feel jealous. He didn't have a love, but friendship was the next best thing.
