The Sands Of Time
It was a beautiful day in Ocean Bluff. The sun was shining brightly, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. All seemed to be at peace. Jungle Karma pizza was closed for the day, and the rangers decided to spend their day off at the beach. Casey was surfing in the ocean, Lily was busy crafting a sand castle, Theo sat under a large umbrella reading a thick novel, and RJ sat with a reflector across his chest and a glop of white sun block on his nose. All the rangers were smiling because all of the fun they were having.
Casey emerged from the water in a red wet suit like shirt, with black and red swim trunks, holding a bright red surfboard. He was soaking wet. He ran to where the others were, pushing his wet hair out of his face.
"You guys have to go surfing! The water feels incredible and the waves really throw you around!" Casey said, sounding out of breath.
"Maybe later," Lily said as she gather a clump of sand in her hands. "I just want to finish this castle I've been working on." She continued as she pushed the sands to the sides of her castle. Casey sighed.
"Theo, how about you? You look bored." Casey said, turning his attention to Theo.
"I'm not bored, and I don't do surfing. Salt water all gets in your hair and it's a big mess," Theo said looking up at Casey, then back at his book, "Sorry, Case."
Casey looked up at his hair after Theo's comment. He pulled down a piece of hair and looked at it. Then he let it go and rolled his eyes. He then looked at RJ, who had his eyes closed, humming a song out softly.
"RJ…?" Casey said with hesitation.
RJ jumped and looked over at Casey.
"Yes?" RJ said happily.
"Wanna try surfing? It's really fun, and I want someone to try it out with me, and their busy, so do you want to?" Casey asked.
RJ could see the eagerness in Casey's eyes. He was like a puppy wanting to get chosen at the pound. And RJ was never one to disappoint.
"Sure, I'm always up for new experiences!" RJ said, lying down his reflector and picking up his violet surfboard. "Let's go!" RJ said standing, revealing his violet trunks. Then him and Casey headed for the ocean.
As Theo and Lily watched, they saw that as soon as RJ stood on the board, he wiped out. The two of them laughed out loud.
"Poor RJ!" Lily said smiling brightly.
Theo looked up from his novel.
"Looks like the wolf master can't master a surfboard." Theo said, as he saw RJ wipeout once again, crashing into Casey. He let out a chuckle, which was soon ended when he felt Lily throw sand at him.
"Be nice, Theo! He's our master! At least he's trying it out!" Lily said, giving Theo a disappointed look. Theo scoffed as he slammed his book closed.
"You're not even trying it out, Lil!" Theo shouted in defense, pointing at her.
"Oh yeah?" Lily said standing up, dusting the sand off of her yellow bikini that was covered in red polka dots. "Watch me." She stated, picking up her yellow surfboard, then running to join Casey and RJ.
Theo watched as the three were knocked over by wave after wave. He looked at his novel, then at the others. He rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Hey, wait for me you guys!" Theo said, laying down his book, grabbing his blue surfboard. When he entered the water, the others laughed and stared at him.
"What?" he said, then he saw their attention focusing on his abdomen. He noticed that in all of the excitement, he forgot to take off his blue tee shirt that he was wearing. They all let out a laugh, and then splashed one another.
Out of all of them, Casey was the master surfer, with Lily a close second, Theo third and, let's just say, RJ was a distant fourth. The rangers were so happy, there were no monsters around, or Rinshi causing trouble. For that moment, everything was perfect.
Camille watched the rangers from behind a nearby boulder in utter disgust. She was completely blended in with he surroundings, then made herself appear.
"Ugh! Look at them having…fun. I've got to put a stop to this." Camille scoffed.
He words were soon interrupted when she felt something crawl up her leather boot. It was a small, pale green lizard. The lizard seemed drawn to Camille, after all, she was a lizard too. When she spotted the lizard, she picked him up and smiled at him.
"Hmmm…" she said suspiciously to herself, "Maybe I can use you to make something horrible." She finished as she stroked the lizard with her index finger. Then, Camille began coughing loudly, then out came Flit the Fly.
"EW!!" Flit exclaimed, "Whose this ugly little guy?!"
Flit was jealous at the amount of attention Camille gave the small lizard. Where Flit didn't love Camille, he didn't want some scaly little runt taking his place.
"He's going to be our next monster for the rangers to challenge. Dai Shi should be most pleased with me." Camille explained, still petting the small lizard in her hand. Then she began to walk away, she was most pleased with herself. Flit stayed behind for a moment.
"Replacing me, eh? I'll show Camille that I am not the fly to mess with." Flit said, sounding like he wanted to teach Camille a lesson.
"Flit!!" Camille shouted loudly.
"Um, coming Camille!" Flit buzzed as he flew to catch up with her.
