Giving Hannah and Taylor a Fright

“Come on Tay, it was just a little flirting, I wasn’t being serious!” Hannah Woodsen, jogged to catch up to her friend, her large breasts bouncing a bit as she jogged. “It was just a joke Tay come on!” In front of Hannah a leggy brunette stopped and turned a glare onto the other girl, “A joke Han?! A joke?!” Taylor Bishop’s voice had become slightly shrill, never a good sign, “He is a professor! Do you realize what could happen to him or you? At best he could be fired, at worst arrested and you would definitely be sent packing back to Azure Rocks!” It was at that moment that the third member of the trio jogged up to the pair, Peter Zander just sighed, “I tried to warn you Han…”

Hannah shushed Peter with a glare, “It was just some harmless fun!” She said in exasperation, “Professor Rutlidge is waaaay too old for my taste anyway.” Hannah quickly closed her mouth at Taylor’s glare and held up her hands placatingly, “Come on Tay, I have been bored as hell the last few weeks with you forcing me to stay in to study for exams.” Taylor threw up her hands, “Well excuse me for wanting to see my best friend do well and not be a college drop-out!” Hannah flinched, knowing her bestie well enough to hear the hurt in her voice, “Come on Tay, I said I was sorry and you know I appreciate all the help you give me when it comes to studying.”

Taylor huffed as she stomped up the stairs to their shared apartment, grabbing the door knob tightly, intending to unlock the door. She yelped in surprise as the door opened and she stumbled into the apartment. Taylor looks around confused, “What the hell, I know I locked the door…” Peter and Hannah rush in behind her, Peter stepping in front of the girls, “There is no way all three of us forgot to lock the door.” They all heard movement from the kitchen area, Taylor and Hannah looked increasingly nervous, their eyes wide with fright as Peter picked up an umbrella to use as a weapon.

He motions for the girls to stay behind him as he creeps towards the kitchen, hearing dishware clinking together. He took a deep breath as he prepared to confront the intruder, but just as he was about to charge into the kitchen a shadowy figure stepped into the doorway and easily knocked the umbrella from his hands. Taylor and Hannah screamed, but it was soon drowned out by a bellowing laugh that all three college students recognized, “HAHAHAHAHA! You should have seen your faces!”

Rick stood in the kitchen doorway, munching on a sandwich, “Hope you don’t mind, I was starving!” Peter visibly deflated in relief, while Hannah flung herself at Rick, who caught her easily, “Uncle Rick! What are you doing here!?” Hannah placed smooch after smooch on his cheeks as she clung to him tightly. Rick laughed as he hugged her back, “It’s good to see you too Hannah Banana and good looking out for the girls Peter, I can see trusting you with keeping them safe was the right call!” He claps Peter on the back, while still holding on to Hannah.

It was then that Taylor snapped out of her fear and began slapping Rick’s arms, “Dammit Rick, you nearly gave us a heart attack!” Rick smiled kindly as he saw Taylor’s tears from her fright. He puts Hannah down and wraps Taylor in a bear hug, “I am sorry Tay Tay, you know I can’t resist giving you and Hannah a scare, though I must admit I prefer Hannah’s greeting after the shock wears off!” As Rick spins her around Taylor can’t help but start giggling, remembering all the times Rick did this exact thing when she was little. Through her giggles Taylor managed to get out, “Ok…Ok you’re forgiven!” Rick smiles as he puts her down, “You all seem to be doing well, though you should really get the Dean to light a fire under security’s asses. I have been here for over an hour and they still haven’t come to check why their security cam has gone dark.” It was just an instant but all three of them noticed the dark, foreboding look that crossed Rick’s face, before he replaced it with a kind smile.

Taylor takes his hand and leads him to the couch, “It’s so good to see you Uncle Rick…” Hannah flops down on Rick’s lap and says in a sultry voice, “Yes it is~” Peter sighed as he pushed Hannah onto the couch and off of Rick, “You are already in enough trouble Missy.” Rick chuckled, “Hannah causing trouble? Never!” Hannah pouted and stuck her tongue out at Rick. Taylor rolled her eyes, “What are you doing here Uncle Rick? Not that we all aren’t happy to see you, but you didn’t even tell us you were coming.”

Rick frowned as he looked at Taylor in frustration, by the look in his eyes Taylor knew his frustration wasn’t aimed at her. Rick sighed, “Seriously? Have you not heard from home recently?” Taylor frowned and shook her head which caused Rick to stand up in frustration, “Dammit Daniel, even if you think it isn’t a big deal you should have at least called to tell your daughter!” Taylor looked up at Rick in concern, “T-Tell me what? Is everything ok back home?” Even Hannah had turned serious at the idea that something had happened back home, “Is Zacky ok?”

Rick sighed as he sat back down, “Zack’s fine, everyone is fine. Peter, go and make us some tea, I need to talk to all three of you…”
