Disclaimer: I don't own any recognizable characters mentioned in this non-profit Non-copyright infringement..-ing fic. If I did...Hunter and Dustin would be in my closet.
Author's Note: I have NO idea where this came from...yeah I do! XDD I was passing by a local ATV shop and saw this wicked sweet picture of a guy ripping it up and then I saw a guy with sun glasses...not sure what the latter has to d with this fic but here it is.
Kinda Important: IDK if I need to even put this here but in this fic like a few lines in Hunter uses the wordy 'indy' I think everyone should know that by 'indy' meaning 'independant'.....it's fairly common termanology and I didn't want to write that word all the way out no did Hunter want to say the whole word. So....yeah. I was going to go with a different magazine title till i remembered it was already a magazine! XD so, I came up with this title, if it is a magazine already...I suredidn't know about it so let me know, I can always change it to....something. enjoi

"Hey, check this out" Hunter and Blake walked into Storm Chargers, each holding a good sized paper in their hands.
"Yeah, I got one of those to dudes" Dustin said as he tapped on the glossy paper Hunter was holding. "Some kind of modeling thing for a motocross magazine"
"Yeah but I never heard of this magazine bros" Blake said as he looked the notice over and licked his bottom lip before biting it. "Motogear for Ladies?" he asked a bit skeptically.
"Does sound indy, but it's a job and that means more cash" Hunter pointed out with a hand to his brother's chest. "And we need it bro"
"What's wrong with your pay right now?" Kelly asked passing behind Dustin with some merchandise in hand.
"Nothing Kelly" Blake said with a small smile.
"Yeah, it's just the economy so house payments and everything are jacked up" Hunter explained.
"Right, well congratulations guys"
"Thanks Kel" they all announced in and she walked off to help a patron.
"So we're in then?" Dustin asked with a hopeful smile.
"Yeah" Blake laughed and nodded.
"Alright!"
"What's going on guys?" Tori and Shane walked up to them looking a bit confused.
"We got an invite thingy to a photo shoot, we're gonna be in next months magazine!" Dustin informed excitedly. Sure he'd never really modeled...at all but this was a good opportunity to.
"Are you guys...sure about that?" Tori asked, tucking a lock of golden hair behind her ear.
"She's right; remember what happened with her 'photo shoot'?" Shane asked as he thumbed over to Tori. She'd gone to a photo shoot and Marah and Kapri were behind it then they made a freaky evil twin. The last thing they needed was three psycho clones of their ranger friends.
"Yeah but this is different" Blake pointed out, shaking the flyer in her face with a small smile.
"Really?" she lowered her head slightly and looked at him through finely plucked brows.
"You guys know you don't have to worry about us" Hunter pointed out.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Tori asked.
"Nothing, it just means that there's gonna be more of us if anything happens" Blake clarified for his brother.
"Right"
"Well, make sure you let Cam know before you guys go" Shane played the role of the leader well and despite his sense of humor, giving little reminders and life saving commands came naturally.
"Don't worry about it, huh? We'll remember" Blake said with a smile.
"So, what do you guys model if it's a 'Ladies' magazine?" Tori asked, bringing her hands to her hips.
"We probably just stand next to some hot motocross babes" Hunter chimed with a small smirk as he brought his arms around Blake and Dustin.
"Yeah" Blake agreed with a laugh then he saw the look she gave him he rubbed his lips, "I mean, they'll probably look like one of Lothor's goons" He stuffed his paper into his back pocket and moved out from under his brother's arm. He walked over to Tori, putting an arm around her and they walked out of the shop.
"So, you think this okay Shane?" Dustin asked, cocking his head to the side and hitting the paper against the palm of his hand before crossing his arms.
"...Yeah, just make sure to look out for each other" He warned. Shane may be the leader of the group but he was also their best friend and he just didn't want a repeat of what happened with Tori.
"Don't worry about it bro, we'll be fine" Hunter repeated as he gave Dustin's chest a pat and looked at Shane with a small smile. The red ninja nodded, he knew the thunder brothers would be fine, they were really strong, not saying Dustin wasn't, he was just trusting and gullible and Shane saw him like Hunter saw Blake; a little brother.
"Okay," He sighed, "So uh, when is this thing at?"
"The paper says at 12 tomorrow," Dustin turned the paper in his hands then returned it to where he had it. "The address is..." he railed off thinking and Hunter picked up.
"This is gonna be over around the track...about fifteen minutes out."
Shane nodded, "Good luck guys"
"Thanks Shane" the said in unison as Shane left the shop then looked at each other with a laugh.
"Work time boys" Kelly declared as she walked past them. Hunter nodded then took his arm back from around Dustin and walked to the back of the shop past their boss while Dustin took his place behind the counter for the time being till Blake's hours started.
