Thanks for the reviews guys. This would've been updated sooner, butf f dot det wouldn't let me post it!I thought this would be a breeze, but I don't want these to be meaningless drabbles, I want them to have feeling. So, for the past week I've been trying to work out how to apply all forty themes to Hunter and Tori. I want this to be perfect. Read on please!

Try listening to How Strong Do You Think I Am by Alexz Johnson (aka Instant Star's Jude Harrison). A great song!

This theme is set around three months after the finale of Ninja Storm, and after 'Friends'.

"Smile"

So, yeah, he dumped me, Blake dumped me. Or, rather, I dumped him after he just expected me to give up my life here in Blue Bay Harbour to go around the globe with him. What does he take me for?

I shouldn't be feeling this way. I love him. Well, I did.

Stop it Tori, get a grip. He's gone, and probably won't be coming back for a while. By the time he does, he'll probably have another girlfriend, one who's willing to elope with him. And I'll still be stuck where I am now. I hate my life.

Maybe I should go surfing to get my mind off things. Or visit Hunter and Dustin at the track. Or even go see Cam and Sensei. Man, I miss my ranger days. Things were so much easier. For one thing, I didn't have to worry about what I was doing when I wasn't surfing. Fighting those creeps and Lothor gave me a real kick. It was so invigorating!

Can't believe it's been a week since Blake left…girl, get a life!

Actually, this guy at the track tried to chat me up yesterday. He was nice, but for some reason Hunter suddenly appeared and started lecturing him. The guy stalked off in the end. Maybe he and Hunter weren't the best of friends.

Is it me or is Hunter acting all protective on me all of a sudden? Perhaps he thinks of me as a kid sister, or is it that he feels guilty for what his brother did to me?

I hope it's the latter.

Nah, I'm joking. He shouldn't feel guilty.

Hunter is like twice the man Blake is. Most people think he's moody and selfish, but they don't know him like I do. Sure, he can be a stubborn sod sometimes, but he can be the most understanding guy ever, and that's saying something.

Gees, I'm going all sentimental now. It gives me the creeps…

Thinking about it, when was the last time Hunter had a girlfriend? Since I've known him he's never had one. Strange…a good-looking guy like him without a girlfriend? With a smile like his! That's one unsolved mystery.

Speaking of his smile, well, I don't know what it is, but his smile always makes me feel as though all is right with the world, even when I want to strangle his brother.

Woah, girl, stop right there! You aren't supposed to be thinking about Hunter's smile! Even if it is gorgeous…

My god! Did I just say that?

Have I never noticed Hunter before?
