I don't own Avril Lavigne's song Girlfriend, which is where the influence came from, nor do I own The Tiki Hut - Pancake House and Minigolf (which, by the way, is an actual place in Wildwood New Jersey... its not the real name, I can't seem to remember what it is- I haven't been there since last summer- but I do know that it's on 24th and Atlantic streets)

Lately, Xander was getting really annoyed at how much Leon would complain and depress over his and Nathaniel's break-up. Sure, there wasn't any heads' up or any warning signs, but it had been WEEKS since they broke up!

So of course this called for Xander taking her mom's car-- they can live without it for a day, giez!-- and kidnapping Leon for a ride down to the New Jersey beach-- Wildwood, of course-- on this lovely summer day. At first, Leon wasn't really up for it --

"What in the world are you doing here at eight in the morning!?"

"Kidnapping your emoing-tranny ass so that you'll at least stop emoing."

"I DONT WANT TO GO WHERE-EVER YOUR TAKING ME, YOU CRAZED SHE-DEMON!"

-- But after getting him out of the bed and some food into his stomache, he was alot more sociable of course. About an hour later, they were sitting in their stolen-- I mean, borrowed car on the way to the beach.

When they got there, they were'nt surprised to find it nearly packed, but that didn't stop them from having fun in the ocean and getting a tan. A few hours later, they packed up their stuff and snuck into one of the local hotel pools to rinse off some.

After being found out, they dryed off then pulled some clothes over their suits and headed over to an old family-friendly all-day pancake house and minigolf place called The Tiki Hut. Leon had some french toast with fruit while Xander went with the oh-so original stack of pancakes.

After eating, they went to the back room where you turned in a copy of your receipt and went to play a game of minigolf. Like the rest of the resturant, the minigolf had a very tiki-oreinated theme to it. Halfway through the game, Leon saw a very familiar mop of hair out of the corner of his eye. Turning, he saw-- you guessed it-- Nathaniel. And to rub salt into the wound, he was with some red-haired i girl/i

At first, Leon was absolutely furrious-- How DARE he ruin their day down the beach and go down the shore with some i girl /i that he had probably met only over the last couple weeks when he had dated Leon for i years /i ! Leon turned to Xander and pointed them out to her, and at first Xander simply rolled her eyes, but when she noticed just how friendly the two were being she was annoyed as well.

Immedeately they started scheming, but Leon said 'screw this!' and turned to swing his golf ball at the two--

One point if I hit Nathaniel with the golf ball...

Two points if the ball hits the girl...

Bitch...

Five points if the club 'slips' out of my hands accidentally and smashes into the girl's head...

--When Xander hush-shouted 'STOP' a few times, only to bend over and grab my neon pink ball, wind back as if she was a pitcher at a baseball game, and slams it through the air and nearly topels herself over into the minerature river with the force of the toss.

When we hear the sound of the ball smacking into the girls head, the two start cracking up but try to muffle it. It's only when she starts crying and complaining about it as Nathaniel half-heartedly tries to comfort her that they burst out laughing completely.

Leon wasn't sure if Xander noticed. How Nathaniel's tip corners were twitching upwords when he had noticed just who one of the assaultants were as he tried to calm the rattled girl. How Nathaniel's eyes had a slight sparkle of mirth to them like they use to. How Nathaniel's mouth frowned, and how his dark brown eyes grew cold when the girl regarded the two of them as "bitches".

After the girl's comment, Nathaniel said something about getting some ice with a glower. The girl pouted some, but once he was back into the restruant and out of sight she turned and glared at the two of them.

"He's my boyfriend, you know! You girls should really learn to grow up, 'cause he's mine and he'd never be interesting in girls i like you two/i " She nearly shouted across the minature river.

"Oh, PLEASE! You don't even know who you're talking to, girlie! Let's see how tough you are when I'm over there about to punch your lights out!" Xander taunted back while doing a punching motion at the end. She threw her head back with a loud laugh when the girl winced at the motion.

"When we were dating, I didn't have to act like some little angel to make him like me, you faking little retart." Leon called out with a smirk, "Heck, he probably doesn't even like you, he's only dating you because his parents wanted him to date a i real /i girl. So I suggest you better get a grip and realise you're never going to i do /i anything for him!" he finished, barely holding back his laughter.

"What-- Real--? Are you-- What do-- What would you know??!!" She shouted on a near-hysterical level.

Nathaniel chose this time to come back out with ice and put it on her head roughly and nearly dragged her away by her wrist as she continued to sputter in her state of what was most likely concussion-induced confussion. Before they disappeared into the restruant, Nathaniel grin slightly with a little shake of a head, as if to say "you knuckle-head..."

And that's all it took for Leon to know that Nathaniel wasn't mad at him, and that maybe there was some hope for them as a pair. And maybe his day wasn't ruined after all.
