Lay Off

   "Thunder Jenkins!!!"

Ryan couldn't hold in the laugh that slipped out as she thought about the driver Hunter had raced. He seemed like a cocky guy and though Ryan hadn't met him yet, she could tell he played dirty and had no respect for the other drivers. Unfortunately, there were races out there like that, but thankfully they came and went quickly. 

   "That's funny he thinks he can get to number one. Boy is he in for a surprise."

The rest of the conversation was kept light and it was nice. Once dinner was done and everything cleaned up they were off. Getting to the outskirts Ryan would never tire of seeing the light. This was her fairy tail all lit up. She didn't need a castle, just sand, and lights. 

Getting closer and seeing Miles Ryan couldn't help but laugh again as she waved. Many of the faces she saw she didn't recognize anymore and some she did. She could feel her nerves building once again as the people crowded around. She had to face them though, she had to just do it.

   "Lets get out a mingle a little. They need to know Hunter is back and means business."

Giving Domino a pat on the head and giving her a little of what she had Hope shook her head a little letting the little dog know what was all she as getting for now. She didn't want to make her sick from too much human food. 

   "Maybe we can put a bunch of fruit and veggies in your apartment so when you do feel like having something you could get celery and peanut butter instead of a candy bar kind of thing. We could also set up a meal chart too. Maybe smaller meals, more times a day."

Hope really did want to help and she wanted to eat better herself too. So maybe they could do this together. She was willing to try and help Scott along the way.

   "If we show Justin you have a meal plan you want to stick to maybe he will lay off a little."

   "Eh, I guess you are right."

Returning to his chair and sitting down Dalton took a sip from his can of soda. He could help but wonder about how shy Jamison seemed. I mean he didn't know Lucy that well he said and yet he went out of his way to know how she did. Maybe he really was that shy that if she asked him why he was there he needed a reason?

   "There you go, I mean it never hurt to get smarter right? Maybe if you took a class Lucy had...you could help her more too, to become friends."

   "Anytime Sweetheart you know that."

Seeing Ashlee come in she gave a wave before looking back to Travis and smiling. It made her feel good he liked talking to her. Taking another sip of her coffee and setting her empty cup down she gave a small sigh before giving a smile to Ashlee.

   "Good Morning Ashlee. Well, I will leave you two alone, I should probably start my work and not procrastinating. I'll talk to you both later."

Getting to the table and sitting down next to Travis Ashlee smiled and gave a wave. Taking a sip of the warm liquid it tasted good and helped warm her up. She was going to need more of this if she was going to make it through the whole day.

   "So after I shower and change want me to help you with some chores? Then we can figure out what to do the rest of the day."
