				<div align="center"><em>"Tychus" and Lugnut, the new center of attention!</em></div> <hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/vin_diesel-535x296.jpg)<br></div><br>Night time was for the races but even Saturday was an open day for the junk yard no matter how hung over or tired he was. Luckily between James, himself and two other guys that worked there it was enough people to handle the rush of people looking for parts on the weekend. The day had been long and exceptionally hot when he and James had been sitting and drinking a beer when he got a call from Trini about the new location of dinner that evening. He was about to tell her about the massive amount of paper work she had waiting for her on Monday but he did not. Tychus was a little happy as he watched a little wrinkled mass of puppy sniffing about the ground the guys where lounging around. "Lugnut" had already passed the test of "Rock" and "Rolla" (http://my-doggy.com/images/articles/english-mastiff.jpg)&nbsp; the twin Enligh-Mastiffs that acted as watch and guard dogs of the junkyard. Those two dogs, like Lugnut had been given to Tychus in substitute for payment by one of their regular customers. The man needed a original camero hood and he over paid with a Bulldog pup with papers, Tychus was not going to fight the man. <br><br>Killing off his beer he picked up the tiny puppy with one large hand practically palming it and went off towards Trini's parents in his work truck. His car was tucked away in the garage, it was for the best considering he did not like his car being out in the public much. The music was lower than normal to prevent the little pup from freaking out but it still sniffed and yapped at everything it encountered which brought a smile to the man as he pulled up to the yellow house and got out with the pup in one hand. <br><div class="floatright">(http://images04.olx.in/ui/3/11/52/54700952_1.jpg)</div>Tychus knew that her parents where vacationing, not that he would have ignored them otherwise he always made sure to greet the family of his friends even if many of them did not exactly like him all to much. The venue was relocated to their home which meant more space for them all and perhaps a long little party instead of hitting the streets that night. As long as there was carna asasda and beer Tychus would be set!<br><strong><br>"You better have more than two beers."</strong><br>He said with a little smirk as he greeted Trini, holding up the pup to introduce her to Lugnut. Exchanging a beer for the puppy he walked passed her straight towards the reforged oil drum to take over the grilling. <br><strong>"Smells good"</strong><br>Tychus commented as he flipped the meat and took a swig of the beer. <br><br>

				Jenna Taboroson would never be called ‘subtle’ or ‘quiet’; maybe ‘loud’, ‘outgoing’ or possibly even ‘obnoxious’, but that was the way she liked it. Her car in and of itself reflected it; the 2005 Mustang GT was currently painted a glossy black with lurid green patterns splattered across it in a seemingly nonsensical pattern. She was rather proud of it herself, having done all the work from concept to final mess on her own.<br><br>Her car pulled up outside the pleasant little house, the last beats of <em>(Don’t you) Forget about me</em> coming from the speakers as she killed it. Leaping out, she grabbed a stuffed esky from the boot of the car, before walking around the back, a confident step in her stride. Dressed in baggy pants, thick boots, a midriff top and sleeveless jacket, her look was accentuated by the tattooed patterns up the length of both arms.<br><br>“Hey guys.” She began, spotting the two out the back. “I bought us... booze. And snacks. But mainly booze.” Jenna continued, her face breaking into a broad grin. “So how’s things going here?” While true, Saturday night was for racing, that was still hours away. For now, time was for eating and having a good time with friends; the excitement could come later.<br>

				Leah Morrison (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3474/3238591408_6d5eef9bcb.jpg) hopped out of the large GMC truck, falling quite a way down before her feet finally made contact with the ground. It wasn't that she was <em>that</em> short at 5'6, rather, Leo's truck was overly large. She was coming from work today, a car meet; in other words, Leah spent the day standing around in a skimpy outfit and smiling at everyone and anyone. She had since changed into a more comfortable top, with matching black short shorts. It was the first decently warm day in awhile, and the 21 year old intended to take full advantage of it.<br><br>Noticing the open gate and the collection of people already chattering away in the back, Leah wandered on over towards the smell and smoke. <strong>"Hullo."</strong> she greeted casually; everyone here had known each other long past the point of any formalities. <strong>"Leo's parking that monstrosity of a truck. Climbing on that thing is like a workout in itself sometimes."</strong> she complained, grabbing a bottle of water rather than a beer. The unfortunate dieting of someone who relied on looks for their job.

				Micah chuckled to herself as she strolled up to Trini's house. Being from the neighborhood she rarely bothered to drive over when it was only a four block walk. It was entertaining to draw closer and watch her friends car's pulling up, seeing what new designs might have been put on the bodies and hearing the growling of the engines. It was fun knowing that a lot of the sounds coming from those cars was her own handywork, that she had had a part in making something that made her friends as happy as those vehicles did.<br><br>Her friends were her family, and her family was everything to Micah.<br><br>Meandering up the drive she grinned walked up to Tychus and Trini, giving both hugs before shooting Trini an impudent look and holding out a hand, "Fess up woman, where's the beer?!" she asked with a laugh that made her whole face shine. Once she had a beer in her hand, and had taken a deep drink she grinned at the rest of the people in the back yard.<br><br>"Water again Leah? Woman, you are going to have to unwind sometime," she teased lightly, "One beer won't ruin your figure, I promise," she urged, her twinkling eyes making her look far younger than 21 years. <br><br>Suddenly getting more serious, as quickly as if someone had flipped a switch, she glanced back to Trini, "Need any help girly? What can I do to be useful instead of just teasing folks?"

				<div style="text-align: left;"><em>Tychus and the crew coming together slowly, missing a few heads. </em></div><hr> <br><strong><br>"whoa whoa, first of all he is mine."</strong><br>Tychus teased Trini with a grin before wrapping his mouth around the beer again and knicking it back, killing it before setting it down and adding more emast to the grill. "But he will be at the office for a while since he is to small, so you and him will have plenty of time to get to know one another." He added before walking over towards the cooler and watched as others began to file in one by one. <br><br><strong>"Sup Jen, I'll take one of those now, just got here myself introducing you all to lugnut over there."</strong><br>He pointed towards the puppy in Trini's hands, the pup squirmed and sniffed at all the excitement, the nub of a tail swaying back and forth in an excited manner. Reaching for a beer as Micha and The Morrison siblings arrived. Michah was subjected to a "Tychus" hug which mean he wrapped a arm around her and twirled her around since she had initiated the contact. One he put her down he passed by Leah.<br><strong>"you better be eating tonight, ya here." </strong><br>Tychus told Leah as he reached for a beer and tossed it over towards Leo.<br><strong>"Heads up brotha."</strong><br>He warned as he grabbed a few more bottle necks for himself and returned to the grill. <br><strong>"It's all good over here, It's Saturday, I got my dog, a beer and a truck I feel like I should be making a country song about it."</strong><br>Tychus chuckled as he tended to the grill once more. <br><strong><br>"Foods gonna be coming out, come and get it!"</strong><br>He called out.

				“Awesomesauce.” Jenna shot back as she handed around a couple of beers, grinning like an idiot at the puppy. It had that uglycute thing going so well that she couldn’t help but laugh at it, silly ideas forming in her mind. “So if ya want him airbrushed on your car or whatever, Trini, let me know. Could make for a cute mascot or logo or something.” She was having random ideas already, ones that may yet live to see the light of day.<br><br>She shoved the beers in the cooler, glancing around at the crowd as they filtered in. “Also bought some chips, some dips, that sort of crap.” She continued. “I mean, it’s not like we won’t have enough to eat all ready, but I figure what the hell, the more the merrier.”<br><br>Jenna turned to Leo, offering him a beer. “Here ya go, present from me. And it’s good stuff too, no cheap rubbish. Only the best for my friends.” She gave him a grin. “Meant to ask you; at some point would ya mind taking a look at the car for me? You’re pretty good under the hood, and I was hoping to maybe get a bit more bang out of it.” It was half genuine and half flirting. Either way, she was having fun.<br>

				Micha squealed in delight when Ty swung her around as if she weighed no more than a small child! When he put her down she swatted his shoulder and laughed shaking her head gently. It was not fair that she was tiny enough for him to swing her around with ease, but she, secretly, enjoyed it when he treated her like a little sister. It meant he could be annoying at times, but she loved him like a brother so she forgave him most anything. <br><br>Seeing the puppy she grinned and scratched the top of his head while Trini mentioned getting food from inside. Tossing her friends a grin she waved at everyone before slipping inside to start to grab things. She didn't wait for Trini to come with her, she knew the other girls house well and knew she'd be along soon enough.<br><br>Grabbing chips, paper plates, and a box of plastic silverware she headed back out toward the table just as Ty was calling out that it was time to eat. Grinning at everyone she set her armload down and gave a teasingly sharp look at the men, "Now just wait a darn minute and let Trini and I finish bringing stuff out before you descend on the table like a pack of wolves!"

				Leah scoffed at Ty's comment jokingly; if she was any younger it might have still been acceptable to stick out her tongue. A smile on her face, she began to step inside to help with the transport of food. "I eat.." she pouted, looking intently at Leo. "Tell them I eat." she half-demanded, half asked as if she wanted some support. Noting his expression though, she gave up and stepped into the house. Leah knew her brother's hungry face when she saw it- besides, she was starving after standing around all day and being ogled.<br><br>Once inside though, she realized that there wasn't really anything left to bring out. Well, except for the paper towels. Nabbing a roll, she made her way back to the table.<br><br>"Make sure you actually <em>use</em> these this time, okay?"

				James arrived a bit late.&nbsp; After Tycho grabbed the puppy and headed out to Trini's, James went ahead and fed the two big dogs. Normal people probably would not consider the task of feeding dogs a reason to be late. However, with dogs the size of trucks feeding time was something that needed to be watched, and took a good deal of time. Once that was taken care of he headed to the store and then the party.<br><br>He sighed as he pulled in behind the various cars the others were driving.&nbsp; He couldn't wait until he finished working on his Spyder. In the meantime, he had himself a station wagon. He sighed again as that thought hit him. He moved out of the car and toward the party, greeting people with a smile and lifting up two bags full of liters of soda.<br><br>"Hows it going?"

				Rosha pulled up later than he'd meant to. He'd forgotten to set his alarm before he'd gone to sleep this morning, after staying up all night playing computer games. Luckily he'd only woken up about 30 minutes later than he'd meant to, so he jumped in the shower and showered quickly, skipping shaving, which took 20-30 minutes in and of itself, being that he used a straight razor instead of safety razors like most people, and so it involved mixing a warm lather and all the other good stuff that went with shaving with a straight razor. He used a straight razor because safety razors gave him shave bumps. He debated packing his mutt (http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/release879/3332889331_bc38236163_z.jpg) into the car, a red, medium-haired miniature dachshund named Daisy, but thought better of it, as she would only get in the way, so he filled up her food and water bowl and kissed her on her head before he left. Daisy was the closest thing he had to a kid. He'd fallen in love with her at a dog show and bought her immediately.<br><br>Pulling up, he felt a little out of place among the gigantic trucks and newer cars with his old 1965 Mustang with a rumbling 408 cubic inch V8. Still, he was proud of the damned thing. He always drove around with the windows down. Though he had A/C and heat in the car, he simply preferred driving with the windows down, no matter what month. As a result, those in the back could hear "Rammstein- Waidmann's Heil" as he pulled up. He revved his engine once as a sort of greeting before he killed it. The mufflers he had on the car were rather small glass packs, so he rattled windows when he revved it, which drew a lot of looks, both angry and curious, from the neighbors, at whom he just grinned and waved. He grabbed the two 6 packs of Guinness, chips and salsa he'd brought, and then locked up his car, both with the door locks and a bar on the steering wheel. His car was relatively easy to hotwire and steal, being so old, so he took as much precaution as he could.<br><br>He rounded the corner and loudly announced, <strong>"He-he-hey, it's Special K! What's up guys?"</strong> He walked over to the ice chest and put all the Guinness inside, and grabbed a Corona while he waited for the Guiness to get cold. He didn't notice the puppy as he put the chips and salsa on the table, and then walked inside to see if anything was going on. Micah was inside grabbing food, so he didn't go back outside yet, instead greeting her.<br><br><strong>"Hey Micah, how are ya?"</strong> Rosha asked with the eternal smile he wore.

He watched as Lugnut got put in the hands of the massive Leo and he was about to comment on the Morrison's squabble when he saw James and Rosha arrive. <br><strong><br>"James grab a beer and take the load off man, we earned it today." </strong><br>He greeted his friend and best employee at the yard with a nod before he looked over at Rosha. He waited till he walked inside before he gestured over to him with his thumb and a "check it out" look. If he was trying to be subtle about it, it hadn't worked, the guys all knew he was crushing on Micah which made these gatherings more interesting as they had all placed bets on if it happened.<br><strong>"Anyone hear from our boy Hiro? He's the only one not here yet."</strong><br>Tychus added as he blessed some of the grilling meat with a little beer.

				Micah was chuckling as she worked on gathering up the few odds and ends left to get from the kitchen. Listening to her friend talk and banter always put a smile on her face and when Rosha came in she smiled warmly to him. He was always nice to her, and you had to appreciate a man that didn't let anyone himself, and you, touch the engine of his car! Weaving around the kitchen with the easy grace of familiarity she rose on her toes and pressed a small kiss to Rosha's cheek since her hands were full and she couldn't hug him.<br><br>"Hey there hun. I'm doing good, but it's dinner at Trini's so what's not to be god for. Come on outside and enjoy that beer, the girls have got the kitchen handled," she said with a grin as she slid past him and outside to put the last of the food on the waiting table.<br><br>Hearing Ty calling for music she pulled a face and stuck her tongue out at him, "You do realize you could easily have one of the guys get off their lazy bums and turn on the music instead of hollering for Trin, whose hands are full and who's busy, to do that right? Such a bully!" she teased playfully.<br><br>Grabbing her own beer she threw herself down into an empty lawn chair and just grinned around her. As tiny as she was she looked like a child in a room full of adults and couldn't care in the least. She was used to looking like the annoying little sister and couldn't have cared less what anyone looking from the outside in thought. The only people whose opinions mattered to her were all gathered around her and that put a warm, loving, smile on her face.

				Rosha watched her move gracefully about the kitchen toward him, and when she planted an unexpected kiss on his cheek, he felt a little gooey inside, and grinned a little wider when she did, but didn't say anything directly about it. <br><br>He followed her out, replying, <strong>"Heh, good to hear, then."</strong> He really didn't have much else to say, that was part of her effect on him. She made the motormouth speechless.<br><br>He walked out and stole a seat in one of the lawn chairs, and popped his beer. <br><br><strong>"Y'all had better figure out who's putting on music, or I'll put some on, and I guarantee mine's louder than y'alls,"</strong> Rosha teased. He wouldn't dare put Rammstein on the stereo, they'd likely get shot for being Nazi's in this neighborhood. He was also not in the slightest bit Southern, and so was a little out of place using the phrase "y'all," but used it anyway because it was simple.<br><br>He smiled when the mariachi music came on. Not quite what he would have chosen, but it was happy music, anyway.<br><br>He quickly decided the chair was boring, and hopped up and milled around the yard, drinking on his beer slowly, trying not to get smashed immediately. If he started chugging, he wouldn't be able to stop, and there was plenty of time for that after the races.<br><br>His eyes found Lugnut in Leo's arms, and he grinned out of one side of his mouth and laughed a little. What an ugly little thing, so ugly it was cute. It would also probably kick Daisy's butt, that dog was such a wimp. <strong>"That thing looks like it went through the spin cycle a couple times, Leo. Cute though."</strong> Rosha obnoxiously teased.<br><br>He wondered where Hiro might be, but at this point wasn't terribly concerned. He was just enjoying being around the closest circle of friends he could ever have, it was definitely a family. These people were like brothers and sisters to him, and he'd do anything for any of them. Easily distractable and not wanting to annoy everyone just yet, Rosha sharpened the knife he carried on a small stone he had in his pocket, giving his hands something to do. The thing was already razor sharp, so he was really just dulling and resharpening it, but hey, it gave him something to do.

				“You call that music?” Jenna shot back at Rosha as she chugged back on her beer. “What we really need is some good stuff here; maybe some Duran Duran or Tears for Fears or – better yet – some Europe. That’d make the scene.”<br><br>She grinned with amusement, imagining the sheer revulsion that her musical tastes would inspire in many of her compatriots. True, they were her friends, but still it was fun to mess with them. And since none of them seemed to appreciate her taste in music, it was even more fun to flaunt it in front of their faces.<br><br>“So are we gonna wait forever?” She asked nobody in particular. “Me, I’m starving, and I don’t think I can live on snacks forever.”<br>

				Leo<br><hr><hr><br>Leo let out a overly dramatic grunt at the punch from Trini, “Girl, you getting stronger…pretty soon I might be able to feel that…” he laughed while taking the pup from her.&nbsp; “Jeeze, you’re so ugly you’re cute…” he said to the dog.&nbsp; “So how was work today, Ty?&nbsp; Get any nice pieces your ol’ buddy might be interested in?”<br><br>“Ah, thanks, you shouldn’t have,” he said to Jenna, taking the proffered beverage, “I mean I didn’t even get you anything…and there it is…here’s a beer, hey take a look under the hood would you?” he joked, “Sure, Jenna, I’ll take a look under your hood any day…” he winked.<br><br>The older Morrison chuckled slightly as he watched his little sister storm off.&nbsp; “She eats…sometimes.&nbsp; I mean food disappears from the fridge at home.&nbsp; I know it’s not me,” he paused briefly as he thought about it, “Maybe she’s sneaking someone inside the house when I’m not there…?”&nbsp; He shook his head, “Nah, that’s not it.&nbsp; I’m sure she eats, Ty,” he said with a chuckle and an elbow to his friend.<br><br>Turning his attention to Special K, “Yeah, he’s definitely the shrunken munchkin of the group.”

				Jenna gave a smile back to Leo. “So, should I take you up on that then?” She asked, a playful tone in her voice. “Let you have a look under the hood, tinker with my front end or my undercarriage, see what sort of performance you can get out of it...” her smile devolved into a broad grin, ideas spreading across her face. “Look forward to it, Leo.” She added with a wink. And regardless of how he chose to interpritate that, either way, she’d be happy.

				"What are you talking about, this meat here is very important to the entire success of this barbecue." <br>Tychus answered the girls as they came out adding to the massive feast that was about to be had! It seemed like a lot but it would all be gone within a few hours. Flipping all the meat and making sure he had time to move over towards Leo he nodded as he grabbed the pup from him and stuffed him in his large pocket of his work shirt. The puppy squealed but popped its little head and paws out not very happy with the sudden place he was in but he stayed put and more so with one of Ty's hands to hold him in place. <br>"Nothing you would like, but we got something I think I can work with but it is totaled beyond belief but you got to start somewhere, we put it to the side." <br>He told Leo but he was always keeping an eye out for a totaled wreck to make into a project care. <br><br>"Hey Hiro knows the rules, if the food is ready and no call he gets some jack and the box, he probably picked up some girl."<br>He answered as he approved of the music, one part of his plethora of races agreed to the sound besides it was funny that Micha was the one to put it on. <br>"Hey don't talk bad about Lugnut, he is a made man already as stated by rock and rolla and if you recall they went right for your ass when they sniffed you the first time." <br>Tychus jabbed a joke towards Rosha before he whistled loudly to signal them all even if they where all within ear shot. <br>"Foods up!"<br>The startled pup yapped at him in annoyance but look scared of jumping from his current location. Grabbing the pot full of grilled assorted meats he carried it to the table and took a seat, waiting for all to join in.&nbsp;

				"Ty, you are such a brat," Micah grumbled as he whistled loud enough to split her eardrums and make his puppy jump and yap at him. Seeing the startled look on the poor things face she waited til Ty sat down then sauntered over and liberated the puppy from his shit, snuggling him against her own chest and scratching his ears gently before giving Ty a, playful, tap to the back of his head while talking to Lugnut, "Don't you pay any attention to the mean Tychus. Micah will look out for you little guy."<br><br>Sticking her tongue out at Ty she slid out of arms reach before he could retaliate or take Lugnut back and moved to the other side of the table to fill a plate. She had no problem with taking an extra burger and cutting it up, feeding pieces of it to the puppy she held, between bites of her own food while everyone else dug in as well.<br><br>"And Ty, if you've got a junker you want fixed, why are you giving it to Leo? You know if you want it done right it needs to come to me, why do you insist on making more work for me?" she asked while casting a long-suffering, 'you're hopeless' look over at Leo. He'd know she was teasing him, that was one of the things she loved about her friends; they'd been together so long no one could really offend anyone else anymore, and no one was trying, it was all just good fun.<br>

				James moved to one side as the food began getting served. A beer in one hand, a pepsi in the other he sat back in a lawn chair letting the others have first dibs.&nbsp; Officially he was only stepping aside to let the ladies get first dibs, but that usually only worked at more formal occasions. So he decided he would not grab food until one of his drinks was empty, leaving him with a free hand to load his plate. He wasn't worried about getting food, there was always plenty. And more often then not a big portion of the leftovers wound up at the junkyard 'for the dogs'.

				Leah slipped silently to her place on the table as the food was served, being one of the first to get something to eat. She did it only half for her stomach: the day had made her hungry enough, but it was mostly to quiet her friends about her appetite, even though she knew full well they were all just teasing. Grabbing a few skewered chicken wings, Leah sat down comfortably and took to nibbling them slowly on the stick, just how she liked it. She had heard the flirty exchange between Jenna and her brother, and it sent a chill down her spine. Not because of any kind of jealousy, but because it was weird to hear her brother like that.<br><br>Much like he would feel the same, and probably much more, if he found out she was seeing someone again. A little fact she chose not to mention to him yet- Leo wasn't the most openly protective of brothers, but they were the last of the family, and a part of Leah guessed that he secretly liked scaring her boyfriends.
