Shifting Times

Layton laughed lightly, and then glared at all three of her family members. That's enough. Thanks. Right when she came out of their mind the waiter came, asking for their orders and giving them their drinks.

*sobs* It's so short...

The meal want by with tension in the air. Landon glaring at her most of the time. Leal didn't care. She ignored him and when it was over she got up wrapping her arms around Tanner as they left the resturant.

Landon doesn't like me. She said softly

I noticed, what did you say to him?

To get off our cases. She replied.

Tanner laughed and stuck his tongue out at Landon, who was still glaring. He's a dick. He's cool, but a dick. Always has been. He chuckled and helped Leal into the truck. "God! Glad that's over!" He laughed, unbuttoning the buttons on his shirt.

"Hey!" Layton suddenly piped up. "Let's go to the club! Who's up for it?! I am let's go!" She stomped on the gas and sped towards the local dance club.

"Layton always goes to a club after being with her parents. She's a dork like that." Tanner laughed and jumped out of the truck once that came to a stop. Layton smiled at Chevy and wrapped her arms around him from behind, latching to his back and kissing his neck. She had to let some tension from earlier out.

Leal smiled and grabbed her bag from the car and then grabbed Layton's hand. "Come on." She smiled dragging her in the club and ot the bathroom then tossing her a mini skirt and cute tank top with hose and high heels. "Wear these if you want, I brought htem incase wed did something like this." She smiled walkign into the bathroom and getting chnanged into her clothes and let her hair down. Putting some more make up on.

Layton laughed and hid in a stall, changing quickly and letting her hair cascade down her shoulders. Once she and Leal were both done Layton pushed her towards Tanner and Chevy, laughing lightly. Layton smiled and Chevy and hugged him tightly, pecking him on the cheek.

Tanner smirked widely and pulled Leal into me, kissing her neck passionately. "You look hot," he growled into her ear teasingly.

*so short sorry*

Leal smiled. "That was the plan." She smiled at him kissing him as she did.

"Get a room!" CHevy laughe.d

Chevy looked at Layton and smiled. "Aren't you a site for sore eyes."

"I was gone five minutes." She laughed.

"And looking stunning." he laughed pulling her towards him kissin gher. "i'm not sure I want you dancing, I dont' want to have to fight everyone off."

Layton laughed loudly and shook her head, pulling him to the dance floor. "I want to see you dance. I mean... you must not be very good considering you're not all that gracefull," Layton smiled.

"Yeah, well you're no ballerina either," Chevy growled in a low laugh. He'd obviously paid attention to all the falls Layton took on a daily basis. Layton just stuck her tongue out tauntingly.

----

Tanner pulled Leal onto the dancefloor, grinning goofily as a fast song came on.

Chevy laughed and kissed her before starting to dance.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Leal danced playing around wtih Tanner as she did. Dancing just barely out of reach. A guy tried cutting in and she glanced over at Tanner real fast.

All in all, other than getting kicked out of the club for both Chevy and Tanner pounding some guy's faces in it was a pretty good night. Layton and Leal were still laughing hysterically at the fact that Tanner started barking and growling at some guy and that Chevy's bottom lip was the size of a tour bus. "I thought girlfriends were supposed to be caring." Chevy complained.

"Yeah... me too," Tanner growled, his arms crossed as Leal began poking a forming bruise on his jaw bone.

"Awh, you know we care about you guys! You just do some stupid and hilarious stuff sometimes," Layton laughed lightly.

Leal smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Ah, don't be upset." She smiled kissing his bruise. "That was sweet of you."

"Ah, stop tryin to make me forget it." he growled as he started walking pulling her with him and Chevy and Layton followed behind.

Come on, you can't be mad at me. She said stopping him and batting her eyes at him wrapping her arms around his neck.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*

CHevy walked past the two touching his lower lip again. "Stupid, idiotic..." he muttered.

Layton hurried after Chevy and smiled up at him. "Want me to kiss it better?" She teased and pecked him on the bottom lip, smiling lightly.

?>?>?>?>?>?>?>?

Don't look at me like that Leal! Tanner sighed, giving in and pecked Leal on the lips, his arms snaking around her waist. "Okay... I forgive you."

"I know," Leal laughed and pushed away from him, running in the opposite direction, Tanner soon running behind her.

"You are so dead!" He laughed aloud, running faster.

Leal laughed and ran faster before she broke the heels on her shoes. She started falling forward, but he aught her. "Sure good thing you forgave me." She smiled.

"I guess so." He laughed. THeir lips met againa nd she pulled him close.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chevy smiled and looked down at her. "I wish I could really kiss you, but this lip..." He started.

Layton laughed lightly and kissed Chevy passionately. "What's a swollen lip gonna stop?" She laughed lightly, kissing him again gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled, running her fingers through his hair.

><><><><><><

Tanner chuckled into the kiss and deepened it, pulling her closer to him.

"Hey!" A group of guys shouted, walking over slowly. They were a bit familiar.

"Are you Chevy from the Navjo res?" They asked, their attention on Chevy, who still had his arms wrapped around Layton while hers were wrapped around his neck.

"Yeah," Chevy growled, "Who's asking."

They all ganged up on the four, smiling cockily. "Don't matter," the same guy laughed, "Pretty girls yah got here, mind if we take 'em for a while?"

Chevy growled quickly putting Layton behind him. "Ya, we mined." He growled.

"Not much you can do about it though." The guy laughed.

"I'm sure tehre is."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Leal clinched her fist, first guy to touch her was going to loss an eye. The group jumped at the guys and someone wrapped their arm around her waist yaning her back. She slammed her elbow back, but it did her no good.

"TANNER~"

Tanner spun around quickly and nailed a guy in the nose, making him let go of Leal. These guys were obviously drunk. He could smell it. Some guy shoved Tanner into another guy, who punched him in his bruised jaw. "Tanner!" Leal screamed again, a guy biting on her neck. Tanner, enraged, ran at the guy and yanked him away from Leal, throwing to the ground with a growl.

---

Layton attempted to claw at some guy's arm, drawing blood but still not making him go away. "Let go of me!" She screamed angrily and stomped on his foot repeatedly.
