"Out Of Style"
The following morning came to view, and Tori had the sudden urge to go riding where it's bright and early out. She decided to run over to Hunter's apartment to pick up her gear and clothing to wear that afternoon. The two agreed not go to their own apartments, for it would be too weird when others find out and suddenly get the wrong idea of a sleep over. Tori wasn't too fond about wearing low-riser jeans with a tank or tube top to go with it, and blue wasn't exactly her favorite color. 'How can Tori not have anything crimson?!' She thought surprisingly. All she could find in the closet was blue and a bit of white material--leaving her with no other choice. However, she didn't care what Hunter would think. After their argument last night, Tori was determined to drive him crazy before Dustin reversed the wish. According to the weather forecast, shooting star sightings were scheduled to appear in two days. This gives her more time to do whatever she pleased to do without looking like a complete joke in front of everyone. Instead, Tori would make Hunter look bad, which she was planning to do that day.
Once she arrived at their apartment, wearing only her pajamas, Dustin answered the door and was surprise to see her at such an early time. Rubbing his eyes as if he just got out of bed, he stepped aside to let the blonde in. "Dude, Tor--Ugh...I mean Hunter." He corrected as soon as she gives him the evil eye. "It's early. What are you doing here?"
She smiles. "To pick up my gear. So where's Tori?"
Dustin grunted with a yawn. "She's in the room." The blonde nods as she made her way down the hallway and towards his room. Without knocking, Tori opens it and noticed Hunter sitting on the bed, tying his shoes it seems. She wrinkles her forehead when suddenly she spots blue underwear sticking out from his pants as he leans forehead. Tori slightly opens her mouth, realizing he was wearing a--"Thong?!" She shouts out as it brings his abrupt attention. He turns around and smiles.
"Hey, Hunter! You like?! It's actually a brief thong for men." He squeals, showing off his extremely tight jeans and blue shirt that covered half of his upper body and revealing his stomach. "It helps prevent showing your butt crack, yah know." Tori looks on wide-eyed.
"Oh my freakin' God!"
Hunter smirks at her appalled reaction. It was one he hopes to see. "So what do you think of it?"
"What do I think?!" She screams horrifyingly, checking out his wardrobe. "I l-look like a-a complete loser!!!" The blonde stutters angrily. 'Mission accomplished.' Hunter thought with a big smile. "No way am I going to wear something brutal like that."
He pouts. "Why not?"
"Why not?!" Tori chuckles in disbelief. "Tor, it looks as if I borrowed clothes from a little kid! You can't possibly go out in public like that!"
Hunter rolls his eyes. "I'm going to the beach. Wanna come?"
"The beach?!" She shrieks. "Why the beach?! That's where all the gorgeous women are at and you expect me to let you wear that?!"
He grins evilly. "I don't care what you think. I'm going to wear this whether you like it or not."
Tori chuckles as she folds her arms mischievously. "No way! Tor, doesn't your--I mean my private area hurt! It could hardly breathe in those jeans!" He smirks as she continues to freak out. "Dude, there's no way in hell I'll let you wear that and make a complete fool out of me!"
"Yeah? What are you going to do about it huh?"
She arched her brow as the two touched noses, glaring at each other intensely with hatred in their eyes. Dustin suddenly walked in as soon as he heard yelling. "Ah, dudes!" He grunted, shoving his way between them as they separated. "What now?!" The airhead slowly turns his gaze to Hunter and eyes him weirdly from head to toe, trying so hard not to laugh. "Okay, dude...I don't know who you're supposed to be, but its months away till Halloween." Hunter chuckles as Tori glares evilly at him. She wasn't enjoying it as much as they were.
"That's it!" The blonde snaps angrily, making the boys stop laughing. "I'll meet you at the beach, Tor and we'll see who gets the last laugh!"
He scoffs. "Oh, I'm so scared." Hunter states in his sarcasm voice as Tori turns away and marches out. 'Oh, I'll show her.' She thought evilly. 'Just wait and see.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After an hour or so of getting ready, Dustin and Hunter head over to the beach to have some fun under the sun. As they play a little Frisbee throwing on the moist sand, Hunter noticed people giving him mixed and funny stares. Kids nearby even pointed and laughed at him, which brought a smile to his face. It was a sign he was hoping for. 'I wonder what's keeping Hunter so long.' The dirty blonde wonders curiously. Dustin looks up and narrows his eyes at the figure coming towards them in a far away distance. He threw the Frisbee back over to Hunter with his gaze fixed on the woman in all black. As she nears her way over to them, Dustin realizes who it is. He scratches his eye and looks on wide-eyed.
"Um, dude...I think that's her." Hunter faces the direction he was pointing at as he turns around and screams terribly due to Tori's stunning appearance. People around stared at him weirdly and walked away as if he was a nut case, but he didn't care. Hunter did a pretty good job in ignoring awkward glances as he confronts Tori, standing right in front of him. She was wearing fish net stockings, long black boots, leather black skirt and top. Her hair was completely dyed black with dark make-up around her eyes and lips. Hunter's mouth slightly open as he scratches his eyes--hoping what he was seeing was only a dream. But it was too late for that.
"Oh my God.." He gasps, covering his mouth in utter shock. "Y-you...I-I mean I look like a-a g-goth!" Hunter splutters out. "A total freak! And my hair!" He releases a shrilling cry. "It's all black! Oh boy, that better be a wig!"
Tori smirks. "Not exactly, but isn't it great?!"
"Great?!" He laughs in disbelief as Dustin places a towel over his mouth securely from laughing. "You can't be serious!"
She sticks her tongue out naughtily. "You know, I spent major bucks on this new look. I think it's about time you get a complete make over, don't you think?"
Hunter could feel his veins sticking out in outrage, and blood pressure rising through his neck, as if he was going to blow up in any minute. He clenches his fist together and looks strongly at her. "That's it! I'm going to kill you--"
"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa!" Dustin yells from the top of his lungs as he stands up between Tori and Hunter before any of them made the first punch. "Enough! This has gone way too--" He pauses, scratching the back of his head. "This has gone way too--"
"Far?" Hunter finishes his sentence with an angry groan.
"No. Entertaining." Dustin smiles in amusement. "But that's not the point. Guys, I never expected my wish to come true, but this was supposed to teach both of you a lesson. Instead it's ruining everything!"
"Gee, Dustin. You should've thought of that earlier before planning to make things worst." Hunter grunted.
Tori nods in agreement. "Yeah, dude."
"Do you see genius written on my forehead? I don't think so!" He sighs when momentarily a life guard approaches them nearby. Hunter looks ahead and recognizes who it is.
"Excuse me, Tori." The male lifeguard taps her on the back. She turns around and stares at the unfamiliar figure standing before her in disgust.
"Who the hell are you?" The blonde questions rudely.
He arches his brow. "It's me. Jimmy." Hunter pursed his lips in embarrassment. 'Oh boy.' He thought.
Tori nods halfheartedly. "Ok. What do you want?"
"I don't mean to sound rude, but--" He looks down at what she was wearing and plasters a weird expression on his face. "Interesting look you have there. It's umm...so you." Jimmy comments as Hunter rolls his eyes. 'Yeah right.' He thought. "Anyway, I usually don't do this, but I'm afraid you'll have to leave. You see, parents are a bit disturbed about what you're wearing, which is scaring the little kids away. The beach is supposed to be enjoyable and a relaxing experience and--."
She interrupted him with a loud moan. "Dude, chill. I was about to leave anyway."
"Please forgive me--I mean her." Hunter corrects himself as Jimmy stares at him oddly in his tight apparel. "But we were playing a game of True or Dare and I dared Tori to wear that."
The lifeguard smirks while crossing his arms. "And I assume she dared you to wear that as well?" He asks, referring to the tight jeans and shirt Hunter was wearing. He nods.
"You know what? We'll all go now. Come on." Dustin leads the way, dragging the two along with him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe you would go out wearing something like this, especially dying my hair permanently black!" Hunter murmured with a deep sigh, as Tori remained silent. He felt embarrassed being seen in public wearing fishnets and tight leather clothing. It wasn't like him. Meanwhile, the three of them settled at a cafe, waiting for Shane and Cam's arrival. Tori and Hunter continue witnessing awkward glances from complete strangers, and undergoing the feeling of being humiliated in public. It was a lesson to be learned that has not yet been taught.
"Hey guys." They were greeted by Cam and Shane who arrived not too long ago. The skater boy wrinkles his forehead as he observed Tori and Hunter carefully.
He chuckles. "What is this? An article of when bad clothes happen to good people?" Shane jokes mockingly. "Or wait a minute." He turns to Tori. "Did you receive another offer from Sports Girl Magazine and decide to do another hideous photo shoot?"
Hunter glares at him. "Don't push it."
Shane smirk as he turns to the dirty blonde, surprised with his act of defending Tori. "Did you like fall into a drying machine or something?"
"Dude, what's wrong with it?" Tori questions offensively. "I think it's hip."
Cam coughs with a chuckle. "Yeah, and I thought I was the one that dresses badly." Dustin and Shane joined him in laughter.
Hunter rolls his eyes, annoyed with their immaturity. "Shut up, you guys. It's not funny."
"Yeah, dudes. It's not our fault we're like this!" Tori gritted her teeth together while looking at Dustin. He noticed the blonde beaming coldly at him and finally stops laughing. Cam and Shane had no clue what was going on as they ignored it anyway. They were too amused with Tori and Hunter's odd behavior and choice of clothing.
"You know, black looks really good on you, Tori." Shane comments all of a sudden, as Hunter sneers at his direction. "Seriously, it does! However, It's something to get use to..."
She smiles in return. "Thanks, man. The black does make me look less stuck up doesn't it?" Tori questions exaggeratedly, making sure Hunter heard it. "No wonder Blake had a crappy time on our date." Shane wasn't sure how to reply to that one, as he remains quiet.
Hunter gives her the evil eye. He felt insulted by the comment. "You know, Tori." He starts off with a fake smile. "I forgot to thank you for the scandalous thong you gave me." Cam coughs on the drink he just ordered, choking uncontrollably due to the given statement that has everyone's ears listening. 'He wears a thong.' The computer wiz mouths to Dustin as he shrugs his shoulders quizzically. Hunter adds on. "You were right. It does make me feel more of a man than I never was." Shane snickers from behind, trying so hard not to laugh. "I should show it to my stuff animal, Winkie sometime and see how he thinks of it." Hunter adds with a smirk. Cam wrinkles his forehead in confusion. 'Winkie?' He mouths to Dustin. Again, the goofball just shrugs when Tori bangs her fist on the table angrily, startling Shane, Cam, and Dustin.
"I think I'm gonna go riding and scare the little kids away." She confirms to everyone as she rises up from the chair with her eyes fixed on Hunter. "Later, dudes." A few moments after Tori left the cafe, Hunter exits out the building as well--telling everyone where he'll be at, which surprised Shane and Cam.
"Surfing?" Shane questions bewilderedly as they watch him leave. "Since when does he surf?"
