Weirdness

Tori peered in at seven in the morning to make sure the baby was still sleeping. She was dressed and showered in the earliest she had ever been. She threw some eggs in a bowl and mixed them with milk and a few spices. After she set a pan on the stove, she poured the eggs in, watching them cook. In another pan she threw on some bacon and in the toaster she put a few pieces of toast. After a good ten minutes, she dropped eggs on two plates and put a couple pieces of bacon on the side. The toast sat on a smaller plate. She put a mug of coffee beside the plates on a tray and carried one in to Shane. He woke up and sat up, watching the food with excitement.

"For me?" He joked.

"Yeah, enjoy."

She smiled and walked out of the spare room, which used to be her room. It was nicely decorated although still with white walls. It was covered in pictures that Tori moved over from her old horror house. Pictures that her mom painted before she died. Tori practically skipped back into the kitchen, grabbed the other tray and debated whether to make herself some breakfast. She went against it and just carried the tray into her room and set it on the nightstand beside Hunter.

"Wake up, made you some brecky." Tori swatted at him.

"Huh?"

He rubbed his eyes and rolled over. She looked at him and silently laughed, the tray was set down beside him and she skipped back to the baby's room. The little girl was still sleeping but Tori still picked her up and carried her around the house, getting ready to call around for a place to hold a party.

Dustin paced around the house, waiting for the phone to ring. It was the place he called the night before about getting help. He stopped pacing when Brooke walked out a bit angry; she turned her glare into a smile. He smiled back, still awaiting the phone call. She went towards the kitchen when the phone finally decided to ring. Dustin ran to answer it and got there just before Brooke.

Brooke shrugged and walked into the kitchen. She set the six-month-old on the counter and pulled down a book she had hidden. She opened it and read a few pages and after smiling to herself, put it back. She didn't know but Dustin was watching from the other room. He had peeked around the doorframe and watched her every move. She turned around and he pulled away from the door.

"Brooke." He half yelled.

"Yeah babes." Brooke replied softly, holding Kim in her arms.

"I got you a spot at the retreat thing, are you going?"

"If it means that much to you, when is it?"

"This weekend, the bus leaves tomorrow night, it's a few hours."

"Okay, will you help me pack?" Brooke questioned.

He was about to answer when the phone rang once again. Dustin picked up the nearby phone and began to talk.

Tori watched as Shane talked to Dustin while pacing the room. He was excited to see his old friend but also a bit hyper. He had just eaten a couple sugar cubes and he could run for the next few days without growing tired. She giggled when he tripped over her outstretched foot. She was sitting on the floor in front of the couch with Katie behind her, sleeping on the couch.

Shane hung up the phone and continued to lie on the floor. He used it as a cover-up for why he tripped. He gave Tori the innocent look and she rolled her eyes with a smile. She bent over and stretched her arms towards the ends of her toes and then she sat up strait again.

"Heard about you and Sir-Brags-A-Lot last night." Shane started.

"Yeah." Tori shook her head.

"Lucky man he is." Shane complimented her. "To have you."

"Really?" She smiled.

"Yes, anyone who gets to go out with you is lucky, I mean, I used to think about asking you out but that was like when we thirteen. Not anymore." He grinned, turning a touching moment into a funny one.

"Really, I used to think of you too." She joked. "But more of a brother."

"Me, I was your brother?" He faked a sob.

"Drama Queen." Hunter remarked, laughing at the two.

"I guess it's better than being Sir-Brags-A-Lot or Princess Complainer." Shane stated.

"Look what you started." Tori shook her head. "Sir-Brags-A-Lot, meet Sir-No-Brains."

"How do you do fellow Knight?" Hunter bowed jokingly.

"Shut-up." Shane smiled.
