A/N this is it the sequel to Julia (read it first). This story is AU like the first it gets a little more into Tori and Dustin's past and I promise a little more Tori/Blake.

Disclaimer: I own none of the power rangers characters.

Now on with the Story.

Hopes and Birthdays

2 ½ months after Julia's death

Tori and Dustin had slowly started the healing process after their sister's death and were now living together.

It was Tori's birthday and everyone was over for her surprise party.

"Ok so you know what to do right?" Dustin looked around to all his friends and they all nodded.

"Yeah dude we got it for the thirtieth time today we all hide and yell surprise when she comes in." Hunter was starting to get a little annoyed at Dustin.

"Ok dudes this is not such a great Idea I mean she hates surprise parties and this one might be a little bad considering we are getting her right after a full days work/training". Shane knew that Tori would act like she liked the idea but she would secretly hate it.

"Hey, bro don't be such a downer she will love it." Blake said.

"She's coming!!" Kelly had been assigned to look out while Cam was to bring her over from the academy.

Everyone went to hide and Shane got the lights.

The door opened and in came Tori with Cam right behind her.

"SURPRISE!!"

Tori just looked shocked but then smiled at all her friends.

"Happy birthday Baby blue!" Dustin said as he gave her a hug.

The night went off without a hitch and everyone was enjoying themselves.

Later on Blake and Tori were walking down on the beach together just enjoying each other's company.

"Tor I have something I want to ask you!" Blake said with a lot of nervousness. 'I mean we have been going out for about a year and we knew each other before that this should be an easy question shouldn't it?' he thought.

'Ok what is he going to ask me I don't want to get my hopes up but could it be that?' Tori's head was spinning.

Blake turned her so she was facing him and looked right into her eyes.

"Will you" 'why is this so hard?' "Will you...um.... move in with me?"

A/N I know its kind of a short chapter but it's a cliffy. R&R please.
