I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING BESIDES THE OC'S
Their Point of View-
Fin was driving with Toes in the passenger seat as they were driving down the freeway making their way to Cameron, North Carolina to check into their hotel room. Toes turned down the radio that was blaring due to their windows being rolled down to get fresh air.
"You know, we haven't had a long road trip like this since we lived with Mom and Dad?" Toes said.
"Yeah, that was like back before I was 10 that was like years and years ago. That was the most fun. How did you enjoy TNA?"
"It was so awesomeness, how much longer?"
"You're the one with the map, you tell me!" Fin said glancing over in her direction on occasions. Toes pulled out the map with directions on it, and was measuring the miles from Cameron. "How much further?"
"Probably another 5 miles, so not that far and I feel SO dirty from sitting in this car all day and sweating. What are we going to do when we get there?"
"We are going to sit in the car for another hour and watch you be tortured by your sweaty armpits." Fin said reaching over with her right hand tickling her. As they slowly pulled into Cameron and found their way to their hotel, they climbed out of their rental car and looked around at the greenery surrounding them, not being used to the greenery from living in Vegas and/or California their whole life. They checked into the hotel, went to their room and settled in since they were going to be there a couple of days top before they headed out to Washington D.C. They were chilling in their room watching television and taking turns looking out the window to see the greenery that they missed out on seeing.
"Why don't we go to the local grocery store and pick up a few things, come back and then go out again in looks of Jeff's cool statue next to his mailbox, that thing is awesomeness looking." Toes said as she pulled out the local yellow pages to find the address to a local grocery store. Fin went and jumped in the shower as Toes called the store and got directions. As Fin finished her shower and walked out with her towel wrapped around her body, when she came around the corner she saw Toes sleeping on the bed with her baseball cap over her face trying to block out the sun. Fin got dressed as she let Toes sleep for a little while, when Fin finished getting dressed, she took Toes hat off her face and smothered her with the wet towel that was just wrapped around her body. "EWW!!" Toes squealed and swinging her hands trying to smack the towel away from her face. Fin was laughing so hard that she had to remove the towel from Toes face so she can try to contain her breath from all the laughter. "Dude, you're nasty!" Toes said wiping her face and/or her eyes trying to adjust to the brightness of the sun. Toes got up and went to the bathroom to take her shower while it was Fins turn to take her nap. It was now about 4 in the afternoon when they arrived to the grocery store in town. They shopped and didn't want to buy that much refrigerated or freezer stuff since they are going back on the road in a couple of days.
"Dude, why don't we just get cup of noodles, all we would have to do is boil water in the coffee pot and it is done?" Fin suggested.
"What about on the road, we can't make cup of noodles while on the road?"
"Fine, before we head out of town towards D.C. we will hit the market and grab some lunchables and/or the PB and J un-crustables for the ride." Fin said. As they checked out in the express lane and looking at the Men's Fitness magazine that had Batista picture on the cover.
"Batista fan?" The clerk asked.
"Yeah, he's cool, he isn't one of my favorites, but he is up there." Toes said.
"It's on the house." The clerk said smiling and winked in her direction.
"We don't live here and that would be one over the limit." Fin said.
"Oh, just here for a visit? Have you gone to the Welcome Center?"
"Yeah, it seems like a nice city," Toes said as she put the magazine back, "But, we are just enjoying the greenery out here because where we are from you don't see it that much." Toes continued.
"Miss, that magazine is on me, so would you please put it on the conveyor belt. You do know that we do have our own famous wrestlers living here?" The clerk said as Toes grabbed the magazine and put it on the conveyor belt.
"Who would that be?" Toes said acting as if she didn't know.
"Do you know the Hardy Boys, Gregory Helms, and Shannon Moore?" The clerk said in a whispering voice.
"Yeah, what about them?" Toes said leaning in over the counter in a playful suspense.
"They live here, if you're lucky, you might be able to meet them." The clerk said standing back up. Toes did her shock face to add some icing on the cake, and she leaned over to Fin and whispered in her ear one of our jokes.
"Really?" Fin said in shock. The clerk nodded in approval as he finished ringing our stuff up and bagging it. Toes wrote the check for our groceries and we pushed our cart out to our car. Fin jumped up onto one side of the cart as Toes jumped on the other as we continued rolling down the parking lot until we hit a rock and we went flying off the cart trying to make sure the groceries didn't fly out. Fin went flying off the cart and rolled on the floor once and got back up onto her feet as Toes caught herself before she went face first into the ground. People that were walking around them were laughing at us for being that stupid, but it was funny and fun until we hit that stupid rock. We continued walking and pushing the cart without doing that again, at least not today. We put our groceries in the trunk of the car and Fin pushed the cart into the cart rack to be collected later on. Toes climbed into the driver's seat and started the car so when Fin got in they would be able to go. They went back to the hotel and were carrying groceries into the room when some of the employees came out and helped us carry them into the room and they seemed REALLY friendly to us, and treated us different since we were from out of state. Fin was setting things out from the bag and placing them in their own spot, that was her OCD showing and during this Toes was looking through the phonebook trying to see if the Hardy's had their address in it, but no luck.
"It isn't in here, who would have thunk that?" Toes said throwing the phone book back on the bed.
"What did you expect, they are big stars now days and don't want to be bothered by freaks like us." Fin said as she started to fold the brown paper bags and putting them to the side.
"That is true, I think that we should just go for a ride and see if we come upon it, and in the car today it said we had a full tank, so that should last a while with that gas mileage." Toes said shaking the keys on her index finger.
"Give me that, grab your purse and we are out." Fin said as she slipped on her tennis shoes, sprayed herself with her perfume one time before heading out, because you never know. As we walked out into the parking lot and climbed into our car, which SUPPOSEDLY had a full tank of gas. We were driving around up and down pavement roads, up and down dirt roads until we came to this intersection not knowing which way to turn.
"Which way, left or right?" Fin asked.
"We went left last time, I would say right, but doesn't that look like Jeff's mailbox right there?" Toes said pointing her finger down the road. I looked down there and saw his statue standing next to the mailbox.
"Yeah, that looks like it; I guess it is a left turn then." Fin said as she looked both ways before she turned. They drove down the road and stopped right in front of the mailbox. Fin put the car in park, left the car running and just stared at the statue in amazement.
"I want a photo with it." Toes said as she opened the glove box and found our camera in it. Toes climbed out and begged Fin to get out to take the photo. Fin put the emergency break on and shut the door without thinking about the doors doing automatic lock, and the car was still running. Fin snapped the photo of Toes with the statue and they swapped places to take another picture.
"What the hell you doing?!" A questioning yell came from the house. Fin and Toes looked towards the house seeing Jeff running out from the door.
"We got lost and saw this awesome statue and wanted a picture with it." Fin said on the top of her head, as the car died from not having gas in it anymore. Toes and Fin then paid their attention to the car.
"Excuse me, back to what the hell you were doing on my property. Why didn't you come up to the door and ask before you took the pictures?" Jeff asked.
"Sorry, next time we would ask, we didn't think it was that big of a deal sir." Toes said not looking over at him. Matt, Shannon and Gregory walked out from the house.
"Hey bro what's going on?" Matt asked from afar.
"It's fine, I got it under control." Jeff said waving them back into the house. Matt, Shannon and Gregory walked back into the house not worrying about what is going on.
"Do you want our camera to call it far?" Fin asked trying not to smile at the gorgeous man that was standing there with those big olive green eyes that she loves.
"I don't want your camera, I don't care about the pictures anymore, I am going to try to help you with your car right now." Jeff said smiling and walked over to the car near us.
"Where are the keys?" Toes asked.
"I am a moron, I left them in the car and now the doors are locked from the automatic lock since the car was running, and I have no idea why it stopped running." Fin said as she was slapping the driver's door hoping that work. Jeff walked over and grabbed her hand from slapping it one more time. Fin looked up and locked eyes with him and melted right then. We heard someone running down the dirt road and a clank of a gun loading.
"What the hell is the commotion down here?" Claude, Matt and Jeff's father, asked Jeff.
"Dad, it's fine, I got it under control, why don't you go back to your house and go to sleep, it is pretty late for you." Jeff said helping Claude up the road a little bit as Fin and Toes sat there in 'Aw' at the fact that Jeff helped his father. Now back to the car issue, Toes started punching at the window, after the first time punching it she stopped and started shaking her hand to wear off the pain.
"You're an idiot trying to break the window; you need to use a bat." Someone said from behind Toes and Fin wasn't paying attention because she was in a staring contest with the keys. Toes turned around and came face to face with Gregory Helms.
"Whoa, you are kind of close there buddy boy." Toes said.
"Hand check!" Fin said joking around, she raised her hands and watched Toes raise hers and turn bright red. Jeff walked back over to us and assessed the situation.
"Well, let me go get a hanger, and get Shannon out here, he would be able to get the car door open, and from there we will be able to get an idea of what is wrong." Jeff said. At that moment, Matt and Shannon walked out with a beer in their hands wondering where they went.
"Hey man, what's going on out here? What did we miss?" Matt said messing around.
"We need Shannon to unlock this door so we can find out what is wrong with their rental car; at least I am guessing it is a rental car by the condition it is in." Jeff said as he ran inside to get a hanger. As Jeff came back carrying a hanger and reshaping it for Shannon to use to unlock the door. Jeff handed it to Shannon to do his job that he knows oh so well, that is one talent to have and a good one to know.
"Okay, now it should be unlocked." Shannon said as there was a click from the door unlocking. Fin and Toes jumped up and down in delight, and Fin gave Shannon a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. Jeff sat in the driver's seat and looked at the gauges, nothing seemed wrong. He took out the keys for future use, and climbed back out of the car.
"Well, nothing looks wrong in the gauges, but let's take a look underneath." Jeff said as he slid underneath the car and realized that the car was out of gas. "That is the problem, your gas tank is empty, that must mean your gauge is off. You were chipped off from your rental." Jeff said as he slid back out from underneath the car. Fin went over next to him and helps dust him off. "What, I don't get a hug and a kiss like Shannon?" Jeff said pouting. Fin hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"What are we going to do now?" Toes said leaning against the hood of the car, with Gregory leaning against the hood next to her.
"We can walk back and call the rental place, but I have no idea how to get back to the hotel from here." Fin said looking around the place.
"Why don't I take one of you with me, we can walk to the local town car shop, and to the gas station, the other one can stay here with the other ones." Jeff suggested smiling and laughing at this whole situation.
"I'll go with him, Toes why don't you stay here." Fin said.
"Toes?" Matt asked.
"That's my nick name, my real name is Jennifer Bella." Toes said turning red and shooting evil glares at Fin.
"Thank god that wasn't your real name, Jennifer Bella is a nice name, why go by Toes?" Gregory asked.
"It's an embarrassing story, I am sure I would be able to tell you as Fin goes to town with um…what's your name?" Toes said trying not to laugh at saying the name Fin.
"My name is Jeff; I thought people would know who we were?" Jeff said confused.
"Fin? What is up with you two?" Shannon said smiling.
"Well, mine isn't as embarrassing as Toes over there. My real name is Christina Lee, but I go by Fin." Fin said.
"So, call you guys Fin and Toes, not Jennifer and Christina?" Matt said in confusion.
"Yep, it's shorter; we don't like the nicknames that people give you by shorting your name." Toes said in explanation.
"Okay, note taken, I am Gregory, nice to meet you two." Gregory said as he shook Toes hand and reached over the hood and shook Fin's hand.
"I'm Shannon." Shannon said finishing taking a drink from his beer and shook Fin and Toes hands.
"I am Matt, Jeff's brother. Do you guys watch wrestling at all?" Matt asked in shock with his brother that we didn't. Matt shook our hands as well.
"Yeah we do, we knew you guys all along, we just wanted to be formerly introduced." Toes said smiling for once without turning red.
"Well, Fin, we should get going before the town shuts down for the night." Jeff said, Fin grabbed her purse from inside the car, and hugged Toes. Matt and Shannon started to head back into the house, Jeff grabbed my hand and we were heading off towards the trees, Gregory hooked arms with Toes and led her into the house.
Fins Point of View-
"I am going take you the long way to the gas station so we can go through Imagi-nation, not very many people get to come out here, but somehow I trust you." Jeff smiling and staring into my eyes. We were walking through the forest, and tried to make some small chat. "So, what got you out here on the dirt roads?" Jeff asked.
"Well, we knew about your awesome statue and we weren't planning on actually finding it, but we got lost and we saw it from the intersection near your house and we decided to try to get a photo." Fin explained.
"Oh, that explains it, so what made you go on a trip out here?" Jeff said laughing at how idiotic Toes and I were at this point.
"This was a graduation trip, I was professionally trained as a security officer and working on the CSI part of my career, which I just graduated college with a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and my sister was just trained and graduated from college to be a paramedic, and she has also been training to be a boxer, upon our return to Nevada she would be able to get her first match." I said trying not to trip over sticks, and Jeff grabbed my hand. I looked up into his olive green eyes and smiled.
"We are here; I hope you have your camera." Jeff said helping me through the last bunch of trees. It was amazing being there, it was better in person than on film and in pictures. I was smiling and laughing at what he was doing.
"So, this is the famous Imagi-nation?" I asked looking around and taking pictures of Jeff running around.
"Yeah, so how do you like it, you are the only one I have took out here besides my father, Matt and Shannon, Gregory hasn't even been down here. You do know that WWE is hiring some positions that I think you and your sister could fill?" Jeff asked informing me of those jobs.
"I didn't know that, why are being so nice to me after we took pictures with your statue without your permission?" I asked curiously.
"There is something about you that has drawn me to you, I don't know why." Jeff said smiling.
"Is that your recording studio?" I asked trying to change the subject because I was so happy because I got a feeling that he might actually be into me.
"Yeah, but first I think you should climb on top of Imagi-nation with me." Jeff said as we climbed on top of his Imagi-nation and I looked down.
"This is amazing; it feels as if I am on top of the world."
"That is why I love it; I am always out here, now you know why. Let me help you down so you don't fall." Jeff said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and helped guide me back down. We walked into his music studio; he sat down in his rolling chair and pulled me onto his right leg. He taught me a couple of things on his machines he had in there, we even made a demo together. Jeff looked at his watch, and looked back up, "We better get going if we want to make it to the gas station." We got up and headed out of the recording station hand and hand. "So, why didn't you feel up your gas tank earlier if you knew that you had drove as much as you did?"
"Well, we didn't think anything of it; you got to think that we Nevadans are pretty stupid." I said trying to make him laugh.
"Don't worry; you should watch the Hardy Show. Have you seen it?"
"Yeah, I have heard about it and seen the previews. My sister and I have done our set of crazy stuff in our days, not as crazy as you guys, but yeah."
"That is what you get for living in a small town huh?" Jeff asked trying to come up with some explanation.
"That too, my relatives live in a small town like Cameron, maybe even smaller, it is crazy there."
"As crazy as you guys?"
"We are crazier than you think, but anyways, how do you get your colors that dark? I have tried to get some of my hair to turn orange." I said in curiosity.
"Why orange? I have done orange once, but I am more about the dark colors now days, I am sure that I can help, when you leaving town?"
"It depends on our car issues, and such." I said looking at him smiling.
"I totally forgot that you had car problems for a moment there, I totally forgot about our mission to get gas for your car." Jeff said smacking himself in the head with a duh expression on his face. We arrived to the gas station just in time; it was like by 15 minutes though. We bought a gas container, filled it up with gas, and started back to the house. We, of course, stopped at Imagi-nation again. "Did you ever hear the story about Matt starting the fire out here?"
"Yeah, I saw it on your Twist of Fate DVDs, my sister and I were laughing. It wasn't funny, but we couldn't help but laugh. I also loved your dogs, where are they at, they looked so cute?"
"Oh, you want to see them, we can stop by their cage on the way back to the house so you can see them." Jeff said shocked that someone was actually interested in his dogs.
"I love animals; I wouldn't believe others didn't want to see your dogs?"
"What other animals do you like?"
"Dolphins, Horses, Monkeys and Pandas. What other animals do you like?" I asked.
"I like all animals, I hate it when people abuse them and are brutal to them." He said, I nodded in agreement. As we continued talking, we realized that we shared a lot of interests, and the sun started to go down, that was what made us decide to head back in. Jeff stood up first, and helped me up because he was afraid I was going to fall off and kill myself.
"So, they all have the same father?" I asked looking at all the dogs that were in the cage.
"Yep, you want to pet one of them?" Jeff asked.
"Sure, whichever one is nicer I would pet and/or hold." I said as Jeff picked one up and handed the dog to me. I played with the dog, and Jeff just laughed at me as I spoke babyish to the dog. Jeff stole the camera out of my purse, and snapped photos of me playing with his dog. We took our MySpace photos, and taking goofy ones that he forbade me to put up on MySpace. We went to the burial site of his two dogs, I looked around and picked some flowers that were nearby and set them down next to the crosses. He smiled and wrapped his around my waist as we were walking back through the forest and he kept on disappearing from me, then jumping up behind me, he would scare me and make me scream, a couple of times I almost dropped the gas tank.
"You haven't told me what your nickname means." Jeff said in realizations.
"Well, when I was a kid, my family always called me the human dolphin, they could never get me out of the water, and the name fin just stuck. Now that you know my nickname and its story, does that mean I can make one for you?"
"That depends on what the nickname is, it better not be anything girly." Jeff said smiling at me.
"Um….what should I call you? I am going to call you Jumper." I said giggling.
"Jumper? Never heard that one before, why did you name me Jumper?"
"Because you are always jumping out at me and jumping off the ropes for your Swanton Bomb." I said explaining the reason for his nickname Jumper.
"Thanks, another one to add to my collection." Jeff said as he ruffled my hair.
"Now, I have to redo my ponytail, thanks for that." I said jokingly as I pulled out my ponytail and put it around my wrist. We came up on the back side of the house and slid into the house by the glass door.
