Author's Note: Today I had an epiphany. I had been trying to come up with an idea for a new story for ages, and it finally hit me. If you've read the Kaylee Series, you probably know that I believe Kelly from NS was an underrated character. Well, I've decided to retell the tale of Ninja Storm, but with more focus on her. Basically, making her the main character.

I hope you all enjoy

C'mon, if I really owned it, I wouldn't be writing this, would I?

-----Storm-Chargers-----

Kelly Holloway stepped blinding into a store as her father guided her gently. His hand was placed over her eyes to keep her from seeing. His other hand held onto her to keep her from falling over.

"Almost there, Kel-Bel," he told her, placing her behind the front counter of the store, "On three open your eyes, one..."

"Two, three!" Kelly shouted, speeding up the process. Mr. Holloway chuckled, pulling his hand away slowly. Kelly opened her eyes and gasped as she took in the sight. Her father's old Extreme Sport's store, Storm Chargers, had been completely remodelled. It was no longer an old, run-down shop. It was now packed and stacked with everything one would need to run a business.

Kelly looked around in awe, "You fixed this place up?" she asked her father, "It looks beautiful!"

Mr. Holloway smiled. He tapped the new cash register gently, "This isn't your birthday gift though."

Kelly spun around and frowned, "It's not?"

Mr. Holloway shook his head, "The real gift is hiding inside the register. Open it up."

Kelly did as she was told, moving to the cash register. She remembered her father's code from years ago, before the store had closed down. It was her date of birth, 042480.

The register opened up, and inside there was a legal document. Frowning, Kelly picked it up.

"Open it," her father encourage. Kelly ripped the top open and pulled out a file. She read it over quickly, her eyes widening. By the time she reached the end of the paper, her eyes were nearly popping out of her head.

"You didn't..."

Her father nodded, "I did. I've been working on this project for years."

"Are you sure?" Kelly asked her father, looking up at him, "This place belonged to you and mom."

"After she died, I couldn't run this place. It may be a Sport's Store, but it needs a women's touch. I'm not organized enough to keep all the files straight and remember to order and call for shipment. It was always your mother's job."

Mr. Holloway wrapped his arms around his only child and squeezed her gently, "But you, my little sport's star, you're the perfect blend of myself and your mother. Smart, organized and very headstrong. You're definitely the right person to keep this business going."

Kelly nodded, "I won't let you down."

"Great," Mr. Holloway nodded. He kissed his daughter on the forehead before grabbing his bags, "I've already interviewed a few people. Their résumés and my recommendations are in the backroom."

"Thanks, dad," Kelly smiled, moving to the backroom. Her father pushed the front door opened, ready to leave her daughter to her first day of work. Before going, though, he turned back.

"Happy twenty-first birthday, kiddo," he said with a large grin, "Your mother would be so proud of the woman you've become."

-----Storm-Chargers-----

"Okay, so the cash register's here," Kelly said, leading a young curly haired teenager around the store. Storm Chargers was set to re-open in five minutes, and Kelly only needed to give Waldo Brooks a tour, "And the workshop is right behind the back counter. I'll be setting up the bikes that need repairs. Just do me a favour and don't lose the labels I'll be attaching onto them. We don't want to start giving other people's bikes away."

The sixteen year old nodded, "I can do that."

Kelly looked at him, "Are you sure?"

"My dad taught me everything he knows," he said. "I've been fixing bikes for my family since I was eight. I have a handle on this."

Kelly nodded, "Perfect. So, Waldo, are you ready? I'm opening the doors."

"I'm ready," Waldo nodded, "But can you call me Dustin?"

Kelly smiled, "Of course, Dustin. Are you ready?"

Dustin nodded again, getting behind the counter to start his shift. Kelly flipped the sign on the door to OPEN, and unlocked the door.

Dustin braced himself for the wave of customers, but no one walked in. Kelly grabbed a clipboard and went to the back.

"Call me if you need anything," she said, "I'll be in the back setting up the systems."

"You haven't done that yet?" Dustin frowned, looking down at his register. He poked the screen slightly to see if anything would happen. Kelly glared at him, crossing her hands over her hips and sighed.

"I've set up the systems for the shop, but I need to enter your information into the computer so I can pay you."

"Oh," Dustin nodded.

Just as Kelly was about to leave two customers stepped into the store, causing the bell on top of the door to ring. Kelly turned around and spotted a boy and girl, around Dustin's age. The boy had a darker complexion and stood about an inch taller than Dustin. His hair was fairly dark. Everything about him seemed dark considering the girl beside him was a light skinned blonde.

"Dustin!" the boy laughed, walking over to the counter and high-fiving his friend, "Dude, how's the job."

"Pretty easy so far," Dustin smiled, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Shane needs some equipment," the girl laughed, lifting a red helmet onto the counter, "He got into a little accident."

"Hey, it was intentional," Shane said defensively. The girl looked up, shaking her head. Dustin looked at his friend.

"What were you doing?"

Shane was about to answer, but the girl placed her hand on his chest, "He's still getting used to standing on a plank of wood. Needless to say, he landed on his ass and somehow broke every piece of protective gear he owned."

"You'll need butt pads, dude," Dustin laughed.

Kelly approached her two first customers with a smile, "Can I help you?"

"Shane just needs some real talent," the girl laughed, "And protective gear."

Kelly took a look at the helmet while Shane shot his blonde friend a look. She retaliated by sticking out her tongue. Her eyebrows shot up her forehead at the same time, causing Shane to back down.

"I think we have this stuff around here," Kelly smiled, "I'll show you around. Dustin, watch the door for any other customers."

"On it!" Dustin smiled, saluting his boss. While Kelly to Shane to the Skateboard aisle the girl leaned against the front counter.

"So, how does it feel to work for the woman?" she asked.

"Hey, you're just jealous I'll finally be getting money!" Dustin smirked.

"Am not!"

"Please, Tori. Maybe if you got out of the water a little more often you would have a job too, instead of gills."

Tori growled, "I really ought to kill you where you're standing."

Dustin leaned over the counter and hugged his friend, "Aw, you're so cute when you try to act menacing."

Tori laughed, "I would watch where you put little Dustin," she said, "I just have to reach over this counter and..."

Dustin pulled away, "You wouldn't dare."

"Eight years with you and Shane. I know all your weaknesses."

"What weaknesses?' Shane asked, coming back to the counter with Kelly. He dropped his new helmet and pads onto the counter for Dustin to ring up.

"Nothing," Tori smirked. She grabbed one of Shane's new wrist guards and frowned, "Isn't this out of your price range?"

Shane smiled, "Dude, this place is awesome! Kelly's promising me a discount because I'm the first customer!"

"Nice," Tori nodded.

"And, she says she really recommends this stuff. The pads have more cushion but are still very flexible!"

"And unlike his other wrist guards, he'll actually be able to move his wrists while wearing them," Kelly laughed.

"Didn't your brother buy you that pair?" Tori asked. Shane shrugged.

"We all know Porter isn't really..."

"Porter's a business man," Dustin finished for his friend as he placed Shane's purchases in a bag. Kelly left Dustin to finish the order while she went around back. She looked over the back counter at the group of three. She had a feeling she was going to be seeing a lot of them. Dustin for sure, seeing as he was scheduled to work four days out of seven.

She had a short conversation with Shane about Skateboarding, and realised her was very into it, even though he was still a beginner. She had been around Skateboards her whole life and offered to give him a few pointers if he promised to spread the word about Storm Chargers being back in business.

She hadn't gotten a chance to speak with the girl, Tori, but from what she could see, Tori spent a lot of her time with Shane and Dustin. Kelly remembered what it was like to be sixteen and surrounded by boys. Her passion for extreme sports meant she was usually around a large group of boys, with very little girls. She knew at some point, Tori was going to need to find another girl to hang out with, no matter how much of a tomboy she was now.

It seemed Storm Chargers was going to be more than a job. Kelly was determined to keep it running and make sure it was a safe haven for kids like Shane, Dustin and Tori.

Turning to the empty corner, Kelly had an idea. She glanced over to the green couches sitting uselessly in the storage room, as well as the small TV and smirked.

"Hey, Dustin, would you mind helping me for a minute?" she called. "I finally figured out what I can do with the empty space."
