A/N OMG I can't believe that is has been so long since my last update. I know that last time I said that I would try to get a lot done during the summer but I got distracted working on another story and for that I am sorry. The other story is not a Power Ranger story and won't be on because it is an entirely original work so I will try to get that on the net as soon as I can and I will get you guys the link. I also suffered from a terrible case of writers block this summer as far as this story went. I am still having trouble getting along with this one but I am getting back in the groove of things. So here it is for you enjoyment

Ch. 9 The Track

At the Track

Dustin, Tori and Bobby are walking towards the bleachers when Dustin sees his student Kevin and makes a lame excuse to go hang out with him so Tori could be alone with Bobby. "Now you two don't do anything that I wouldn't do." He said as he ran off with Kevin. Tori and Bobby both shout back that they are only friends.

"Well do you want to grab some seats in the stands?" Bobby asked.

"Yeah sure but let's get some drinks first."

Bobby nodded and they walked towards the concession stands. "So before we ran into Dustin I asked you a question which you seemed to masterfully evaded."

"And what question was that?" She asked trying to look innocent.

"Do you have a boyfriend and if not what do you look for in a guy?" He repeated for her.

"Oh that question. If I didn't know any better I would say that you have a strong interest in the answer to that question." She said in a mocking way.

"And if I didn't know any better I would say you avoiding the question is a way of flirting with me." He told her with a grin on his face.

"Well I guess it is good that you know better."

"You are still avoiding the question."

"Well I guess what I am looking for is..." Just as she was about to finally answer his question they reached the front of the line and were interrupted by the man working the stand.

"Hey Bobby how are you doing after the accident yesterday?"

"Hey Tom, yeah I am fine thanks for asking. Can we get two hotdogs and sodas?"

"Yeah sure Sarah was really worried about you especially when you weren't in your van. You know you can always stay with us in the RV if you need to." He said reassuringly.

"Thanks but I am crashing with a friend of mine here, this is Tori by the way. Tori this is Tom his son is one of the racers and his family runs a small stand at all the races." He introduced them to each other.

"Oh Sarah is gonna be crushed." Tom joked but Tori did not find it so funny.

"So has Travis raced yet?" Bobby asked not noticing the death glare the Tori was silently giving him.

"No not yet. Sarah went with her mother to go find out when he was up. They should be back soon but then again she probably went to your van to see if you were back yet. I swear to you she has been there at least five times today." He said handing them the food.

"That is so sweet of her. Well I ended up with a concussion so I'm gonna be out for a bit and I think I am gonna stay here for a few weeks but tell her I will see her soon okay." He said loading his hotdog with everything.

"Yeah sure, listen I am glad you are taking this so seriously and I hope you feel better."

"Thanks me and Tori are going to grab some seats. I sill catch up with you guys in a few weeks."

"Alright you kids have a good time." Tom said giving him the change.

"He seemed nice and that Sarah girl must care a lot about you." Tori said a bit bitter.

"Yeah she's cute but can be really annoying. The whole family is really great they are kinda like my road family." not noticing her tone he continued, "but once again you have avoided my question."

"Maybe you should ask Sarah." She said clearly upset.

"What?" Bobby asked completely confused, "What's got you so mad all of the sudden."

"I don't know maybe it is because you never mentioned Sarah to me before."

"Why would I say anything about..."

"BOBBY!"

Bobby turned around at the sound of his name and before he could react there was an eight year old girl in his arms, "Bobbywhere haveyoubeen Ihavebeen worriedsick." she said in a jumble

"WHOA! Sarah slow down as you can see I am fine. After my fall I had a friend insist that I stay at her house. And the Docs said I got to lay low for a while so I'm gonna be staying here for a few weeks." Bobby explained while Tori looked on dumbfounded.

"But Bobby you can't stay here cause I will miss you too much." Sarah said on the verge of tears.

"But I am hurt and I can't travel so I have to stay but don't worry I will catch up with you guys in no time at all. Plus you guys have my phone number." he said putting the little girl on the ground. "Your dad is waiting for you he needs help at the stand. I promise I will talk to you soon." He told her and wiped a tear from her cheek.

"Okay I will talk to you soon." she said and walked back to her mother to get back to her father.

Bobby waved to Sarah and her mother as they walked away.

"You were saying?" He said looking at Tori with a cocky grin.

"I believe you asked me a question." Tori said trying to change the subject.

"And you completely went off on me because an eight year old girl has a crush on me. So it doesn't matter cause I can tell you were jealous."

"I was not." She defended and thought for a second, " I was just mad that you did not tell me you had a girl you could have stayed with. Yeah that was it."

"I'll will pretend to buy that and you will instantly get over you anger. How does that sound?"

"I think you have a deal." She said with a slight laugh, "so would you like me to answer your question now?"

"HOLD ON!" Bobby said holding up a hand and looking around, "Okay you might get it out this time." They both laugh.

"Well I guess I am looking for someone who is kind to others for no reason other than because it's the right thing to do. Someone who will be loyal to me and treat me right."

"That shouldn't be too hard."

"And why do you say that?"

"Because if you have the perfect girl why wouldn't you be loyal. I mean I could be as loyal as an old porch dog. OH GOD tell me I did not just say that."

"I guess I could offer you another "pretend you didn't say that" deal" she said with a chuckle.

"Okay deal but what do you want in return?"

"To finish answering you question then to get your answer to the same question."

"Fair enough but only if you forgive me for interrupting you. And also I would like everything left on the record up to the point of comparing myself to a dog. Deal?"

"Deal. Well I'm also looking for someone to make me laugh. Someone who can help me make things right after I screw them up." She smiled and continued, "You know like when I run my best friend off the guy will go convince them to forgive me. What about you?"

"Oh you know someone who will always be there when you need her. Someone I can talk to. The type of person that will take a complete stranger home because they need help. And if she happens to be a tan blonde surfer chick well I guess I will just have to deal with that." He said looking into her eyes.

"So where ever will you find someone like that?" She asked meeting his gaze.

"I don't know maybe I should ask Kelly if she knows someone. Unless of course you know something I don't know"

"Such as?" She said tilting her head slightly.

"Oh I don't know. Let's start with what are you doing Saturday night?"

"If I didn't know better I would say you were asking me out." She said in a matter of fact tone of voice.

"Well then let's hope you aren't as smart as you think you are."

"Alright I'll bite what will we be doing Saturday night?"

"I was thinking we could catch a movie and some dinner? What do you say? You can pick the movie and the restaurant. Price is no matter as long as you keep in mind I am out of work for a few weeks."

"Okay I may have to work that afternoon but I should be free by no later than 7 P.M."

"Well than 7 it is. Shall we call it a date?"

"Sounds like a good idea to me. So when does the next race start?"

"Looks like right now." he said.

As they sat down in the stands the PA came on.

"Alright people it has been a great week here in Blue Bay Harbor and we are gonna keep it rolling with some more Motocross action. We got 8 great racers here tonight hoping to make it to the finals later tonight. However only two can advance to the finals. So here we go ladies and gentlemen starting from the left we have #38 Travis Horton, #78 K.C.

OK LETS GET THIS GOING, RIDERS ARE YOU READY? BLUE BAY HARBOR ARE YOU READY? WELL THEN ON YOU MARKS, GET SET, GO!"
