Don't forget to leave a review though! Thanks!
"Rendezvous"
"Hey, bro." Blake enters the apartment on a happy note as Hunter looks up from behind a Sports Girl Magazine. It was already dark out once the infamous factor rider came back from another of his meetings with Roger Hannah. Curious with Blake's contented behavior, Hunter closes the magazine and stood up in front of him.
"Hey." He responds vaguely. After being wiped out and laughed at several times at the beach, he head on home and changed into something more comfortable since Tori wasn't around to make fun of. "What's up?"
Blake smirks as Hunter places his reading material on the coffee table next to an open laptop. "Since when do you subscribe to Tori's magazines?" The younger Bradley asks curiously, staring down at the magazine with a female surfer on the front cover.
He looks at it and shrugs. "Well you know, the articles are pretty interesting to read." Hunter smiles it off.
"Uh huh. Sure." He laughs in disbelief. "You mean the surfer chicks in their skimpy bikinis are interesting to look at, bro." Hunter could feel his heart yearning in jealousy at the thought of Blake looking at other women. Of course he would have to expect guys to check out and drool over incredibly gorgeous women, but not Blake. He always thought Blake would only have his eyes on him, but he thought wrong. "Speaking of Tori. I bumped into her a while ago. Did you know she had a complete make over?"
Hunter acted surprise. "Um, no."
"Oh man." Blake chuckles as he slumps back on the couch in an amused state and lifts his legs up on the table. "That girl totally changed, bro. She dyed her hair completely black and wore nothing but black. It's like she turned goth!"
Hunter bit his lip in mere embarrassment. "Oh. I think it's hot." He forces himself to say.
Blake nods in dismay, grinning. "She's hot alright. But honestly, bro Tori isn't really my type. For me, I get to travel all around the world and see other beautiful women that I could possibly have a connection with." Hunter looks down as pain of rejection slowly eats him up inside. 'Wow, he's a player.' He thought disapprovingly. 'I'm such an idiot.' Blake noticed Hunter drifting off into his own dimension as he wrinkles his forehead and snapped a few fingers in front of him to grab his attention. "Bro?" The dirty blonde comes back to reality and faces Blake. "You're alright?" He asks worriedly.
Hunter weakly nods. "Yeah. I umm...have to go." He hurries along while typing a few keys on the laptop.
"Dude, what's up?" Blake had to ask due to his brother's awkward and abrupt behavior.
Hunter scratches the back of his head as he presses the Enter key and closes the laptop. "I forgot I have to be somewhere."
Blake turns around as he watches him storm out of the apartment. "But where?!"
In the meantime, Tori was back in her apartment with her eyes glued to the computer screen. She was in a Single & Want To Mingle chatroom and begins reading each member's profile on the list. After a few moments of browsing, Tori came by to one woman's screenname in particular and was turned on by her profile, but unfortunately no picture. She assumed right away that she was hot due to her athleticism and a few of daring hobbies stated. It's been about half an hour since they began chatting and it was good news for Tori when she found out the mysterious woman lives in Blue Bay Harbor. After keeping up with an interesting conversation for a decent amount of time, Tori waits for a long response.
EaTxD1RtB0i: Hello? You still there?
The blonde types as she continues to wait impatiently.
EaTxD1RtB0i: Hello?
RiPp N cHicKa: Sorry. I was talking to this guy.
EaTxD1RtB0i:: Ohhh...what guy?
RiPp N cHicKa: A friend's brother. He's not important.
EaTxD1RtB0i: lolol.
RiPp N cHicKa: Anyway, let's meet somewhere.
Tori's eyes widens as she stares anxiously on the computer screen and looks up. "Thank you, God!"
EaTxD1RtB0i: Okay. What do you have in mind?
RiPp N cHicKa: Hmm...what about the Blue Bay Cafe?
EaTxD1RtB0i:I'll be there!
RiPp N cHicKa: In one hour?
EaTxD1RtB0i: You got it!
RiPp N cHicKa signs off.
"Dude, what took you so long? I was about to leave." Dustin greeted Hunter as soon as he joined the goofball on a small table across from him. "A drink?"
Hunter refuses the offer. He honestly didn't remember making plans to meet up with Dustin later on that night as he shrugs it off anyway. He probably forgot despite everything that's been happening. "No thanks." He sighs in return.
Dustin pursed his lips and nods. "So...umm, how was your day?" He asks casually as Hunter glares at him.
"What do you think?"
Dustin thought it through for a brief moment. "Good?" Hunter rolls his eyes, grunting. "That bad huh?"
"That bad, Dustin?! He dyed my hair black! How can it not be that bad when it's totally BAD!" The dirty blonde exaggerates. "It's bad!"
He groans in annoyance. "Tori, it's nice."
"MY HAIR!" Hunter reinforces his statement angrily. "IT'S BLACK!"
"Well I know that, but--"
"And this is all you're fault!"
Dustin looks at him in disbelief. "Dude! It's my fault now?"
"Uh yeah! You're responsible for all this, which makes it entirely your fault!!"
"Hey! It was your choice to bring Hunter down by wearing jeans from the little boys section!" Dustin argues back. "If you didn't go on and try to make him look stupid, none of this would have happened."
"Well, none of this would have ever happened at all if you didn't make the most ridiculous wish! Why didn't you ask for a girlfriend or something?! Perhaps a new life?" He joked angrily.
Dustin laughs. "Relax, man. Just one more day."
"And that makes me feel all bubbled up inside how?"
Before he could answer, Dustin's attention was brought to the blonde entering the cafe. He squints his eyes and noticed it was Tori back to her normal self with the blonde hair and blue clothing. "Well look at that. It's you." Hunter turns around and stares at Tori with a watchful eye. She was standing around the arcade as if she was waiting for someone.
"What is he doing here?" She muttered while rising up from the seat. Dustin looks on, wondering curiously as well. "Be right back." Hunter made his move as he walks normally towards her direction. His way goes unnoticed until she turns around and jerks her head back in surprise.
"Oh great." The blonde grunted despondently. "What are you doing here?"
Hunter wrinkles his forehead. "I was about to ask you the same thing, and thank goodness you dyed my hair back to normal again!" He adds with content.
She smirks. "It was only a wig, Tor. You know, I would never do that to you permanently after finding out about you're greatest fear. I did it just to get back at you as my revenge. However, I still think your fear is the lamest thing ever. What else are you afraid of? A broken nail?"
Hunter gives her the evil eye. "Whatever. You seem to be in a good mood. What are you doing here?"
Tori flashes a smile. "Oh, I'm meeting someone for the first time in person, so get lost."
His mouth dropped a little. "It better be a guy."
"Say what?" She splutters out in disgust.
Hunter folds his arms and beams at her. "I'm not kidding. I prefer men yah know."
Tori pouts. "You know, that sounds wrong from my viewpoint."
"Hunter, you're still in my body and there's no way you're turning lesbian on me!" He scoffs. "Unless, you can convince her you're actually me, stuck in a woman's body, but I'm pretty sure she'll think you're crazy even if you tried." Hunter explains as she looks away and sighs. "Just out of curiosity, how did you meet this person? You know, I already don't feel comfortable with you parading around in my body, but making arrangements to meet somewhere with complete strangers kind of concerns me. I have a reputation to protect, so I hope you don't mind me asking." Hunter says politely.
"On the Internet." Tori grins. "Dude, she is such a babe!"
"Do you even know how she looks like?" He asks, placing a hand on his waist.
"No, but from reading her screenname she seems hot. RiPp N cHicKa." Tori states with a huge smile. "Doesn't that sound hot? Better yet...sexy?"
Hunter's eyes grew even larger. "Is this some kind of sick joke? First of all, the only people that know my screenname are Dustin, Shane, Cam, and the people in the Single and want to Mingle chatroom. How did you get it? For one thing, I would never give it to you."
She chuckles. "What are you talking about? I don't even have it and if I did I would never add you to my buddy list, that's for sure. If you didn't know, BUDDIES only and I'm afraid you're not under that category." Tori exclaims in a harsh tone when suddenly her eyes starts to open wide. "Wait a minute. You go to the Single/Mingle chatroom?" She questions him. Hunter nods. "Oh, dude! Please tell me you're not RiPp N cHicKa or else I'll kill myself?"
"Weren't you paying attention to anything I just said a few seconds ago?" He wonders when suddenly he releases a loud gasps out of nowhere. "Are you EatxD1RtB0i?"
Tori plasters an appalled look as she wraps an arm around her stomach. "I think I'm going to puke."
"So you're meaning to tell me that I've been chatting with you all this time?" Hunter questions in disbelief as Tori nods her head weakly. "Wow. In that case, thanks for emailing me a naked picture of you when you were a baby! Isn't that something! I thought it looked kind of familiar." He grins. "You and you're cute little butt! Too bad it aint cute anymore."
"Hey!" Tori yells offensively. "You did not just look at my butt!"
The dirty blonde laughs. "So you use your naked baby picture to attract women eh?" Hunter smirks with his arms crossed. "My oh my, you sure got it bad."
"Shut up. At least I don't make out with my pillow and pretend it's Blake."
Hunter gasps shockingly. "I do not!"
"Yeah uh!" Tori sticks her tongue out. "It says it all in your precious diary! I was kind of bored, so I read more of your dirty little secrets. I wasn't planning on telling you, but right now I don't have any intentions in letting you piss me off, which you are doing a great job at right now." She admits as Hunter's blood pressure begin to rise in raging anger. "I didn't know you use to fantasize about marrying Shane." Tori sneers.
"That was in junior high! I didn't even know what I was thinking."
"Uh huh. So did you write down anything about how the honeymoon would turn out? Maybe it's on the next entry."
Hunter glares at her. "Don't even go there."
"Hey, guys." Dustin approaches them from behind as their eyes turn to him. "I see you two are getting along just fine." Tori and Hunter exchange disturbed glances.
"That's it. I'm out of here." He mumbled as he walks away.
"Yeah. Me too."
"Fine."
"Fine!" Tori snaps back.
The two went to their separate ways, exiting through opposite doors of the cafe and leaving Dustin standing all by himself. The goofball looks on at both directions before releasing a deep sigh. Without anyone noticing, Hunter snuck behind the back door where he wouldn't be found. When the area was clear, he stood back against a brick wall and slowly cries himself in utter humiliation.
A/N: Sorry if it was bad. But review anyway and let me know what you think! =P
