Ice creams go well with cookies and brownies. Well if you are having fruit loops with honey loops in low fat milk and Hershey's chocolate syrup; it just tastes divine. Nothing comes better than strawberry with cheesecake and I am done. Lavishly fatty! All this carb is going to make me a walking disaster but I can't help it, especially when I am on my period. But the whole world can say what they want as long as I am having Alex by my side.

Groaning to the massive sunlight keeping on kissing me, I growled and pulled a pillow to my face. When it was not helping, I tried to roll back to Alex and hug him close. But, to my dismay, he was not there and I remember my dream of cookies and carb making me grumble in hunger. But, Alex was not an early riser and seeing his absence in my bed made me want to crawl and die. Without over thinking, I slowly got dressed after a long hot shower and walked down to find no breakfast. That got me worried.

I called Alex out loud, when he was not answering, I called Nat but to my utter dismay she was not there either. Panicking, I ran towards the back yard to find Alex and Nat deep in sweat and practicing some stunts which made my heart leap to my tongue.

All these time, they showed me and taught me simple stunts which were for me obviously difficult but never frightening. Even when they taught me riding and stunting, I was pretty cool with the dynamics of it all and boasted that I learned too quickly.

At first, when Nat started to teach me how and what a bike is, I was learning quickly. She told that learning the bike's body was important if I need to learn riding and stunting. I named anatomy and she looked at me weirdly at first but then shrugged at it and went with my way when I said it was easy for me. Well being the stubborn me, she too without any delay started to call bike's anatomy and taught me bike's part like our own body making me go crazy and stunned to learn how much she knew about it all. I was glad even, that I get some amazing coach like Nat and Alex.

In the ground, Nat taught me the basics and at night, Alex took me out to the main road. In the beginning when another vehicle was coming from the opposite side it felt like an elephant was coming to attack me. So, I used to close my eyes and Alex used to curse under his breath as he handled the bike handle to avoid accidents. He then used to pull up to the side of the road and scream at me, making him look too cute when angry and all I did to stop his rant was pull him and kiss him hard that made him swallow his own words. All this was days back even months; now, I am confident in snaking my bike in between two or three vehicles and people were like, oh lord! A fat rider...

Slowly, Nat taught me how to concentrate and play around with the bike. Taking full concentration, you can actually dance with the vehicle like it's one of your own body parts. My determination helped me pull my first stunt, which was a simple stoppie and I was on my nose, in the ground with legs dangling up. And that was my first stunt.

Gradually, I gained speed and knew how to balance around to do my stunts and that was when I learned, I can actually do it and I should. Being the fat girl, all my life, I didn't have friends to motivate me and my lack of confidence made me a living rag. But, now with constant support I am able to live through it all to make me feel like I am worth something and here I was, standing with two most special people in my life who taught me many things which no one else could.

And seeing them perform the stunt that they were doing right now in the blazing heat made me gasp for air and stand like a statue in the door.

Alex was standing on his bike which I vaguely remember him saying the name that was something called Christ. And Nat was handling her bike while standing on the middle of the handle and the other leg doing something I didn't care to look. With much precision and concentration, Alex pulled Nat to his bike, while Alex jumped to Nat's bike in a bat of an eye and jumped with their legs arched outside and just seconds before the bike was about to fall, they sat with a big thud and I fainted. Before I blacked out, I heard someone say oh shit and then, the fall of two big metals with a vroom filled my senses.

I woke up drenched and I wondered where I am. It was then I remember where I was and how I was here. I shot up and look around to find Nat and Alex crouched on their seats near my makeshift bed. Alex sat next to me with his head in his hands and Nat was sitting with a coke in hands, intact. They must have heard me, because relief and panic crossed on their face when they saw me and I was near to tears.

"Why did you come out like that, didn't you see the note that I stuck on your lamp."

"What note?"

"I thought so, you must have not seen it and from now on, whenever you get up without me, look for any notes."

"And you think that I will be satisfied with a mere note to learn that you are away."

"Look, you and I both know that I will not leave you alone. But when I stick a note, it will be important."

"And the important thing has something to do with that... what I saw when I came out searching for you."

"You were not supposed to see that. What did you think stunting was?"

"Yes, I never knew what stunting was, but now that I know; I know I will not sleep well."

"Look. You are seeing it for the first time; you don't have to be so alarmed, it's actually simple."

"ALEX... you and Nat are the only people in my life that I value most and now, seeing you do something so dangerous that I wish you guys were some accountant in some grey gloom rather than be the adrenalin booster like that."

Alex and Nat chuckled at my outburst and I was furious. "Do you THINK this was funny? Do you think I WAS JOKING?"

"Angelina, calm down. We have been doing this for years so you don't..."

"Now, I understood what those scars were in your body. Alex, it's dangerous and I don't want to lose the only thing best in my life."

"Angel, this is my life. But now as I got you, I have a purpose in life other than my sister Nat here. So, I promise, I will do this year as my final year and I will stop; I promise. This year, if I get to win, we don't have to work at all with the fortune that they judges have announced, so I promise you and when I promise something, I don't break it; so are you happy?"

"Obviously no... but I should trust in you shouldn't I; otherwise what kind of a girlfriend am I?"

"Atta girl"

With that he kissed me slowly, almost lazily like a snail which made Nat furious enough to pour her coke on us and glare with a cute expression which said ewe. Seeing her like that, Alex wanted to make her run away with disgust, and so he started to lick the coke from my face while I giggled and I can swear I heard Nat dry heave. I laughed at her and turned to see Nat lip locked with her crush David. Rolling my eyes, I pulled a coke from the fridge and poured it over them. Nat blushed to a deep color and David stood there stunned and looking murderously at me. His travel bag stained to a deep color. He was back from a road show that he and Brono planned to gain admires for the coming tournament. It was so because, we need bidders to challenge groups and the group which have the highest bidding will get a jackpot from the people choice awards.

"What was that for?"

"Ask her."

David finally showed the guts to spill out his feelings last week on her birthday and she was more than eager to say yes a thousand times to be his girlfriend and wife. This reminds me of my brother and Ms.Celine. My brother was a coward to stop himself from asking her to marry him fearing that she might turn him down and finally with my constant pressure he did so and she screamed yes, when he was just on his knees. They planned to get married in two months and that was just a week before Alex's tournament. Now, that David was strong and bold enough, he asked Nat to be his wife and not just girlfriend. That makes me the bridesmaid for two marriages; two most important dates of my life. I didn't want to rush into responsibilities so soon like Nat, so Alex respected my life and was patiently waiting being the best boyfriend I can ever get.

Well, Nat was actually old enough to start her own family. I was wondering how she stayed away from boys in her twenty five years of life. To believe that she was actually a saint will be an understatement. But, to be honest she was and her first kiss was an experiment with Brono. That was the funniest thing I have ever heard but it was true. Well truth to be told, Nat admitted that she didn't find any star wars in her and thus she detested the idea of falling in love. She being only fifteen back then, Brono assured her she will get someone worthy of her and never in her million dreams, she thought David will be that prince charming on a white horse.

Brono, on the other hand was happy with Christopher. Yes, it was late for us to realize that Brono was in fact gay and I was happy for his feelings. At first he was a nervous wreck to say his feelings but then he told me what he was and I asked him to be what he wanted to be and that gave him strength to say he was gay and to his utter surprise; we hugged and said we were proud of him. Since then he was waiting to fall in love and miraculously, Brono met Chris on the way to his mother's grave. Funny how some people meet.

As the day's move on, Alex and Nat were seemingly restless while David and Brono coolly acted as if this won't affect them but in fact they were a complete nervous wreck. I watched with shuddering heart, how peacefully and vigilantly they practiced. But when on bike and on the road, all four were confident about themselves and I was happy for that. Nat seriously missed a girl hand to perform her tweety stunt. Yes, she named something that she invented herself and decided to go with Brono as her partner.

Here, she and Brono will roll like any riders at first where Nat would be the rider in the beginning and then slowly, Nat will adjust the handle with Brono's help and she will make him get up and she sliding down like she is lying on her back. When she becomes comfortable enough, Brono will slowly stand on the bike like a U and wait for Stacey and pull herself completely making her look as if she was sitting on the back. Then comes the tricky part, Bruno will speed up and vroom through the line and pull a stoppie and by then, Nat would have pulled herself to a sitting position having her back to Bruno's back. Just before he will pull into a stoppie, Nat stood up and pulled her hands like the Christ stunt and jump to do a flip and while Brono comes back from the stoppie, Nat would have sat in front of him, looking him in the face and having a sore bum. I don't know why she named this stunt tweety but it was damn dangerous. And she always said if Stacey was here, she would have done that with her making her have the balance because she was considerably lighter than Brono.

When everyone knew about Stacey, she regretted the decision of helping Den out. But we never let her know that we have known about her completely. She used to come and go but was never the chirrupy girl we used to know. Lately as she started to show up, bruises also started to show up. I wanted to talk to her but was scared what Alex might say.

So, after the practice we were sitting, on the sofa discussing the danger in Nat's stunts when the land line started to ring. Just on the correct time, Stacey ran in with bloody swollen lips and bleeding nose.

"Alex..."

The caller on the other line and Stacey both bellowed Alex at the right time making us scrunch with curiousness.
