A/N: I appreciate all the reviews I have been receiving, and it keeps me writing. You make my day, in a good way.

Hunter was just coming off the track when he spotted Dustin. He wiped his sweaty forehead and wondered why Dustin was not riding.

"Dustin?" Dustin didn't turn towards him, he just kept on going. Hunter ran to catch up with him. "Dustin, what is up with you bro?" Dustin turned around and Hunter looked puzzled.

"Were you talking to me?" Blue eyes stared at Hunter, and then smiled. "Hunter?"

"Yeah, its me. Did you hit your head or something?"

"Or something." Hunter put his hand on the other teens shoulder.

"Hey where's your bike, we can take a few runs around the track?"

"I can't right now. Maybe later." Hunter nodded. "See you later Hunter." He turned and walked away. Blake came up after getting out of his truck. He smiled at his brother.

"Hey bro, sorry I am late. Kelly just needed some help with a shipment she just got in after you left. Lucky you." Hunter turned to his brother.

"Yeah, lucky me." Blake saw he was lost in thought, and poked him in the ribs.

"Earth to Hunter."

"Huh? Oh Blake, sorry. I was just thinking, something is different about Dustin. I just don't know what."

"Looks the same. Maybe he changed since he and Tori got together. He is trying to change for her, so she would never be ashamed of him."

"Wasting his time, she would never be that. She is blind to any faults. She can't keep her hands off him either."

"Yeah, I've noticed, lucky dog. But then he can't keep his off her either." Both boys smiled and walked over to Hunters bike and began to get it ready to load onto the truck.

"Yes I wish I could find someone I loved like that."

Tori was sitting with Dustin in his favorite chair, a lazyboy. She was sitting on his lap, his arms around her waist. He had claimed he had seen a mouse and she had jumped into his lap. He had to remember that one. She sat there, feeling his heart beating through her back. He nuzzled her neck, causing her to wiggle.

"Don't wiggle Tori." He then kissed her neck with butterfly kisses, and moved to her ear. She jumped and he laughed. "Didn't I tell you not to do that?" Tori turned and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Am I causing problems for you?"

"Yeah, good ones. Dude you just don't know what you do to me. A babe like you near me, why my mind turns to mush."

"You are the sweetest, Dustin. I love you.

"Man if you were a hamburger, you would be the most popular meat in Spain."

Tori smiled at Dustin, indulgently. "I think you mean India."

"Oh yeah, there too. I hope you never leave me, Tori." Tori's eyes turned serious as she gazed down at him, one hand in his hair, playing with it. The other over his heart.

"Dustin, I am with you, until you don't want me anymore. If that is forever then I will be happy. Do you know something Dustin?"

"What?"

"When I was 12, I used to practice kissing my pillow, pretending it was you." She turned pink when she said it. Dustin smiled brightly at her.

"I used to write your name in my notebook. I used to write... Dustin and Tori Brookes."

"Well you remember that game, where you write down 5 names of boys you like, then under that houses, jobs, kids and such? To find out who you would marry?"

"Yeah."

"Well I used to do that. Then arrange it so that it came up with your name." Dustin gave her a kiss.

"Wow, man that is so awesome. I can't believe you would do that. No other girl did that. I was always the joke."

"Not with me, never that."

"You remember that time you were exposed to the chicken pox?"

"Yeah cause I had been around Nancy, and she came down with them."

"What you didn't know was, that when her parents told yours you might get them. Well...I went over to her house, and kissed her on the cheek." Tori laughed at him, and hugged him tight.

"You idiot, you caught it too. So we both missed Shanes party."

"I did it for you. I didn't want you to go through that alone." Tori leaned into him and kissed him, deepening the kiss, as Dustin happily joined in. She had totally forgotten the non-existent mouse.
