Happy birthday, blackrabbit42!!


“YAY!!!!”

Blackrabbit42 and her sister yelled triumphantly as they hugged each other at the finish line, heedless of the mud coating them from head to foot. They were tired, yet ecstatic, having just completing the 2015 Warrior Dash together. Blackrabbit42 had worked hard all year, getting stronger, building up her endurance, and this was the payoff – triumph!

Laughing, they broke apart, grabbing towels to wipe off their muddy faces and hands. “I'm hitting the restroom,” said her sister. “Be right back.”

“Okay,” said Blackrabbit42. “Wait for you over on the side there, then we can limp back to the car.”

She looked around the field as she walked to the sidelines, idly continuing to de-mud. All around her were other happy contestants, yelling and back-slapping each other on their successful run. The feeling of camaraderie and victory was almost palpable.

Her towel was quickly saturated with mud, and she realized she was now just moving it around rather than removing it. She sighed as she slung it uselessly over her shoulder.

“Hey – I have an extra towel if you want it,” a deep voice drawled behind her.

She turned around with thanks, but was struck mute as she looked up at a tall man. Her eyes felt wide as saucers.

“Here,” and a dry towel was put into her hand.

“You...but...oh my....” was all she could get out of her numb lips.

Green eyes looked deep into hers as the man said, “No problem. Congratulations on finishing the course, it was a good one!” He smiled widely, and sure enough, there were those famous eye crinkles, those lush pink lips framing perfect teeth.

“Dude, you're freaking her out. Give her a chance to breath,” said another masculine voice with a similar drawl. She had to look up even further this time, and he chuckled.

“What are you guys doing here?” she managed to say. “How did no one...”

The taller man replied, “We wanted a test run before the big Tough Mudder we're planning to do in Texas. That one will be public – we have a whole team organized - but here we just tried to fly under the radar. Beanies and a little mud, no one else with us. A couple people realized and approached us, but they left us alone when we asked.” The two men looked at each other, and Blackrabbit42 felt a tingle at the bond so clearly shared between them.

“So...mum's the word!” The first man placed a finger against his mouth and shushed. “We're just slipping away now.” He winked at her.

“Of course!” Blackrabbit42 nodded. “Go before anyone else realizes it's you!” She felt her cheeks flush as she added, “Thank you for the towel. And...for trusting me.”

Suddenly she was being hugged from both sides. They were muddy too, but she didn't care. It was a glorious moment, and then it was over. The men ran off, long legs easily putting distance between them and the field, not even looking tired.

“Bye,” she whispered, waving weakly after them. She could still feel the press of them against her.

“Okay, I'm back!” Her sister threw an arm around Blackrabbit42. “Hey, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I'm...I'm great,”answered Blackrabbit42 dreamily. Her sister looked at her anxiously, but Blackrabbit42 knew she could never explain what had happened. She sighed happily and turned to her sister. “Come on, Let's go home and get cleaned up. I'm starving!!”
