So much had gone on during the war, and nothing had distracted him from finding Nori, but now that she was found... or to be more honest had come back, Hollywood had found his day completely empty. Quickly enough though Sensei and some of the tribe members had found lots for him to do. It was nice to know that he was needed, but at the same time it just seemed odd. Likely because he had begun to believe that the worst case had been the truth, he had just started to deal with that fact and then Nori had been standing in the front yard of the farm.

As typical of Hollywood, he had lost all of his nerve and so he was right back where he had been before the war with Nori. So much for the thousand times that he had promised God and anyone else he thought might be up there that he would tell her how he truly felt. He hadn't, and no one that knew could have really been surprised.

It had been a welcome relief to plot to have some 'Double H' time, as he liked to call it. Having finished climbing the massive amount of stairs to the top floor he got on his board and made his way to 'the Double H Hideout', yet another of Hollywood's lame names.

Walking in he heard Hazard throwing a ball around and instinctively caught the thing. Laughing Hollywood said, "Seriously what did you find?" As he looked through the box Hazard brought out he could honestly say he was impressed. A lot of the things in this box were still in the packaging... something that almost was never the case any longer. Looking over to Hazard he saw an odd look on the other's face and had to ask, "Hey.. what's up?"
