Guest Starring
Amber Brooks
Hayley Ziktor

The once upon a time, Yellow Wind Ranger, had found himself on the outskirt of town where the motocross track was. It wasn't the same like in Blue Bay Harbor but it a track was a track. Even if it was very tiny. Dustin recognized instantly the two guys at the tent. Hunter and Blake Bradley. The two of them were chatting by the tent. Dustin stopped in front of them and the guys paused and looked at him.

"Can we help you?" The crimson blonde barked at the brunette.

"Hunter." He glanced over to his brother, "Blake."

Blake crossed his arms, "Do we know you?"

Hunter rolled his eyes, "Impossible since we just moved here two days ago."

Sighing, he realized that they didn't know who the hell he was either. Dustin was ready to throw the entire idea out the window to even bother asking. It seemed to be a hassle every time. "No. I don't." He finally complied after before practically starred down, "I just heard you guys were really great motocross racers."

Blake finally started to smile, "So our reputation is known here, huh?"

"You guys ride 255cc right?"

"How did you know?" Hunter crossed his arms, looking at his bike and at him, "You got a good eye."

"What do you ride?" Blake added afterwards.

Dustin shrugged. It felt so weird to have to rekindle their friendship again, "I'm a 125 but I don't race. I do Free Styling."

Hunter turned and grabbed the bag laying against his number 11 bike. He shook his head and glanced at his brother, "I don't care for Free Styling so I'm out of this conversation."

Blake watched his brother leave before returning his attention to Dustin, "Sorry, my brother is more of the Brooding type."

"So I see." Dustin pretended to be surprised, "You guys seem like opposites."

"I feel like that sometimes." He smirked, "Hey, you going to that party tonight?"

"Does everyone know?" Blake cracked a small laugh but Dustin nodded to answer his question. He placed his hands on the top of his head and looked around, "So what are you doing here?"

"My brother and I were talking about how this track should be expanded." He stated, "Factory Blue would never be able to discover true potential if you can't go anymore then like two feet."

"Well did you talk to your parents? Maybe they would know better."

"Dude." The two proceeded to walk along the track, "We don't live with our parents. Hunter and I are renting an apartment."

"Ah, life on your own. Must be great."

Blake chuckled, "With Hunter the bar is slightly below great."

"You could liven the place up with puppies!" Dustin exclaimed. Blake rubbed his forehead, "Too soon in our friendship for jokes?" Bradley continued to stare, "What up, dawg?" He was hoping to break the awkwardness.

"You're cracked."

Dustin started to laugh. He wasn't sure if it was to Blake or for his own sake but either way, "You have no idea." The brunette finally responded, "I got dirt jokes to entertain you as well."


Cam had made his way into the city. He had made his way passed the café where Shane and Conner were chatting outside and towards the building next to it. He entered the two large doors and into a large spacious room. It was a giant lounge with tables and couches. It was the Harbor Reef community center where a lot of kids go to just simply hang out when there is nothing else to do. There was a pool table in the corner and a few arcade games on the other side. Cameron walked into the middle of the room to a table where a young African American boy was typing on is laptop. "Hey Ethan."

The sharp boy glanced up and smiled, "Cameron." He exclaimed, "Check this out. I looked at the binary codes and I think I cracked the program. Are software is one step closer in being successful"

"Excellent." Cam adjusted, "I been trying to crack the sequential html in the flash program."

Cam sat down and opened his laptop. He smiled as he turned it on. Looking up, he watched a woman walked into the place. She was wearing a hat, but it wasn't enough to cover her long red hair. She had a bag hugged against her, it looked as if she was carrying a laptop. Cam couldn't help take his eyes off of her as she moved over to a chair nearby and sat down, resting her bag onto the table.

"Got to stop starring, dude."

The glass rimmed boy rolled his eyes, "I can't help it."

"She's 24. You're 18." Ethan clarified, "Hayley Ziktor isn't going to give you the time and day."

"Maybe she would know how to crack the rest of the codes?" He suggested, "We should ask."

"No way man!" Ethan closed his laptop, "We've been working on this for months. I don't want to share the work."

"But-"

"No!"

"But-" He just stayed quiet when Ethan pointed his index finger at him. Returning to stare at Hayley, he just sighed.


Tori arrived at a large white house. It towered over her, with two giant pillars stationed in front of the door. There were flowers everywhere, the garden was at full bloom, the warm weather allowed them to keep alive into the fall. The blonde made her way to the door and rung the bell. The door finally sprang opened and another blonde appeared with more flare. "Hey Cassidy!" Tori smiled.

"Bitch!" She shrieked, pulling her into a hug, "Am I glad you are here!" The two entered inside, greeted by the large steps. Making their way up, they entered the kitchen where there were dozens of cups and bags of food. "I was just ready to set up the place."

"Came just in time." Tori responded, stopping at the cups and opening then up, "How's that reporting gig going?"

"The school is being such a drag." Cassidy turned to her after tossing a few bags of chips at a near by table, "Like who the hell says I can't report the top five cutest guys in our school?"

Tori rolled her eyes, snickering a bit, "You know who I find cute?" She turned to him, "That Hunter boy."

"Oh!" Cassidy turned and made her way over to her friend, "Those Bradley boys are cute! I had a nice run in with them at school." She grabbed hold of her arm, "What do you think of that Blake, guy. Is he single? Think he would date me?"

"What do I care?" Her smug look cause Cassidy to frown, "He isn't my type. Such a softie."

"Really?" Her brows arched as she smirked, "I could see you date a softie." Her smiled started to annoy Tori, "You don't look like the kind that would date the dark and brooding type."

The front door opened. Tori and Cassidy looked at each other before walking out of the kitchen. They leaned on the rail and saw a brunette in a flower button shirt roll in a keg. "Keg goes downstairs." Cassidy yelled.

"All right."

"And Devin!" The boy looked up at her. He cleared the bangs out from front of his eyes. He smiled, showing his pearly white teeth. He starred at them with what Tori thought were the most gorgeous eyes ever, waiting for Cassidy to finish what she was saying, "Don't hit the walls on the way down."

He gave a thumbs up and left. Tori turned and leaned against the rail, "Forget Blake." She teased, "What about Devin. You guys been friends forever, why haven't you ever thought of dating him?"

The valley blonde dropped her head, laughing at the thought, "If you think he's cute, why don't you date him?"

Tori smirked, "I like his eyes. That's it." She retorted.

"I'd consider it but his intelligent kind of reminded me of why I don't even bother."

Clasping her hand, Tori pushed herself off the rail, "Well, hypothetically say you did date Devin, would it be so bad? He's loyal. Nice."

She cocked her head, thinking for a sec, "Wait, why would I hypothetically?"

"I'm just saying." Tori scoffed, "Hear me out, okay?"

"And how would we start dating?"

"I don't know. He asked you out? You two were alone, he was helping you clean."

"Whoa!" Cassidy pointed her index finger, "I wouldn't be caught cleaning." She paused, "Can't we choose someone else? What about your friend Shane?"

Tori shook her head, "You're impossible." She returned to the kitchen.

Cassidy followed, "Come on, what about him!?"

The surfer girl spun around and halted Cassidy to stop, "You need to a hobby."

"I have a hobby! I do reporting!"

"Report something other then guys." She smirked, "And lay off Shane. He isn't your type either."

"Who isn't?" Devin came walking in. He moved past the two girls and towards the bags of chips. Opening a bag up, he took a handful and returned his attention to them, "Who's not Cassidy's type?"

"You." Cassidy crossed her arms, "You are low on my list."

"You have a list?" He disregarded her insult and smirked, "More like a novel."

"Pick a guy and focus on him." Tori interjected, adding her opinion, "Trust me, it'll make things easier."

Devin slide forward, not even picking up his feet. He leaned right next to Cassidy and licked his lips, "Pick me, sugar?" His dirty voice lingered in her ear.

"Ew!" She screeched, running out of the room.

Tori tried to contain her laughter. She covered her mouth, muffling every second of it as Devin turned and smiled at her, "You're something." She stated simply, clearing her throat.

"You just got to know how to win your battles." He winked at her and left.


Dr. Oliver. A well-known man in Harbor Reef had entered the community hang out point. Popular among his students, and a dependable archeologist major at the Harbor Reef Museum. He adjusted his glasses, making his way past Cam and Ethan were glancing at him before returning his work. He stopped in front of Hayley who had moved and adjusted herself on one of the couches.

"Hello, Tommy" She smiled, "You're late."

He moved his handbag off his shoulder and sat down across from her, "I'm sorry, Hayley. I was caught up with work over at the museum." He pulled out a folder and laid on the table near by, "There was a great discovery of a fossilized dino egg." She just starred at him with a slight smile. Tommy could see that he was smirking, "Not really in your department."

Hayley grabbed her bag and pulled out a disc, leaning over to hand it to him, "Here's the software we were talking about last week. I worked out the kinks, you should be able to fully analyze the carbon base data on the fossils and run it through this."

"Fantastic." He inspected it, "This would really come in handy."

"What are you doing tonight? Maybe we can test it out?"

Dr. O thought for a sec, then started to nod to the idea, "That would be great. I have a shift tonight at 7."

The redhead checked her watch and started to gather her stuff, "I'm late." She stood up, "You check it out, if you have any problems give me a call. I'll bring my laptop over."

"Where you going?"

"Prima Tech has a meeting with Mercer Industry. I have to sell some products to them and hopefully convince Anton Mercer that my software will benefit him." She smiled, "You know business." 389303426

She tipped her hat at him and walked off. Cam was watching the entire thing. Although he couldn't hear their entire conversation he noticed that she had handed him something, "Ethan, we should ask her!"

"Anyone who associates with my Science Teacher is a bad idea." He smirked, looking over at Dr. O who was opening a few folders, "Come on man, we got this in the bag. Besides, she works for Prima Tech. Do you know how lame that company is?"

"I don't think so."

"Aw." Ethan tilted his head, "Is someone green with envy?"

He looked down at his shirt, "No." He closed his laptop and placed it under his arm, "Just green."

"See you tonight!?" Cam turned and nodded in response and left with haste.


Night had fallen and the sound of music was blasting out of Cassidy's house. Cars were arriving left and right, parking on the grass, in the driveway, and pretty much anywhere that they could find. People were hanging out, cups in their hands, chatting, dancing and doing whatever they would normally do.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!!" The crowd roared as they witnessed Devin upside down, propped by two of his friends, taking as much beer as possible in what they call a keg stand. He finally signaled and they let him down and he turned to face the crowd, hands raised high.

The cheer picked up once more, "Whoa." Devin stumbled back. He shook his head and rushed through the crowd.

Cassidy and Tori giggled in the corner. They were watching the entire thing. They turned to each other after the event had passed, "Good party so far." Tori stated looking around. Hunter and Blake came walking up the steps, "Getting better." She took another sip.

"Hey you two!" Cassidy called out to them.

Hunter and Blake made their way over, passing a few people on their way. Hunter stood a foot behind Blake as he greeted the two ladies, "There's a lot of people here."

The blonde in the tan cashmere sweater, Cassidy, grinned, "I strive in associating with as many people as possible." She turned to see a kid almost knocking over a lamp, "Hey you! Whatever your name is! Be more careful!"

"She's quite popular." Tori winked. Moving her head to get a better look at Hunter she gave a small wave, "Hi Hunter. Glad you can join us."

"Hey." Was all he said before whispering in his brother's ear and leaving. Tori squinted her eyes, rubbing her forehead. It was a shame that she couldn't get one word out of him.

"He went to find the Keg." Blake spoke up after he left. "Hey Tor. Do you want to go out for some fresh air?"

Cassidy and Tori glanced at each other before she finally nodded. She handed her drink over to her friend and the two proceeded down the stairs and outside. Some kids were talking about the pillars so they moved out onto the lawn where Tori twirled and looked up at the stars, "It's a beautiful night." She beamed in happiness.

Blake crossed his arms, stifling a slight laugh before turning back the house, "Cassidy has money." He spoke.

Tori turned and looked at it as well, "Her parents work at Mercer Industry so I'm not surprise that they live in style."

"Is Cassidy always.." Blake trailed off.

"Short on her leash?" The blonde filled in the blanks. She just laughed at the thought and nodded, "She can be but her spunk makes it well worth our friendship, now only if I get her to surf."

"Tori!" Shane's voice called out. The two turned to see Conner and him making his way over. "What are you doing out here?" He asked, glancing between the two of them. He held tightly the skateboard under his arm.

"I was just talking to Blake." She pointed at him, "Blake, this is my friend Shane."

The navy teen reached out and shook his hand. He took a step back and crossed his arms again. "So I'm guessing most of the action is inside?" The skater boy turned back to his friend.

"I think by now Devin is inside puking his brains out from all the beer he has been drinking." She smirked, "Go find out."

Shane left with haste, with Conner following right after. The young boy spun around, "Names Conner." He shouted to Blake, "You can thank Tori later for the introductions." He turned back.

Tori rolled her eyes, she turned back and smiled, "So where were we? So tell me a bit about your brother." She moved forward.

Inside, Shane and Conner ran up the stairs. The music was blasting even louder then before. Some rap song was playing and the crowd was dancing. Cassidy squeezed through and bumped right into Shane. He dropped the skateboard and she looked up at him, "Watch where you're going, bonehead."

"Nice to see you too."

"Oh, hey Shane." The blonde took a sip, "Nice for you to finally join us." She looked over at his friend, "Conner."

"She acknowledges my existence." Conner joked and nudged his buddy, "Hey, I'm going to find a keg. Want anything?"Shane shook his head and continued his conversation with Cassidy.

Conner left, making his way back down the stairs. He turned the corner and down another flight of stairs into the carpeted basement where two kegs were stationed in the corner. Devin was off dancing with a few random chicks next to it while Hunter was laying against the wall with his hands crossed. Reaching for an empty cup, he filled his drink and turned to make his way back tot he stairs. Stopping, he eyed Hunter, "Hey." The soccer jock spoke up.

Hunter veered his eyes away, yawning a bit. Bored. Conner continued to stand there, it was a little odd for him to just start talking to the crimson blonde but the guy looked mad bored. "Hey." He finally spoke.

Conner reached out his hand. Hunter looked down at it, smirking a bit before finally shaking it, "So you're the new guy everyone is talking about?"

"I love that's how I'm known as."

"Well it's true." Conner wasn't exactly sure how to go about that conversation, "What do you think of Harbor Reef so far?"

"Tracks small." He responded, "The motocross track. Town's alright. The people pretty boring though."

"Maybe you just don't like people." Conner took a sip of his drink. "You're the brooding type, aren't you?"

Hunter pushed off the wall, "Really?" He said sarcastically, "I couldn't tell."

Conner couldn't help but laugh. Hunter stared at him in disbelief but just sighed. "Tell me more about this motocross." He finally stated. The crimson blonde finally cracked a smile as the two began to walk and chat.

Dustin and Amber had finally arrived at the party. The two walked up the steps and explored the area. The brunette in his yellow sweater turned and heard a familiar voice as the front door opened. Kira and Trent were talking, the two stepped in. Dustin was about to go and greet them but he had decided against it. He knew they wouldn't know who the hell he was, besides they went straight down the stairs. Dustin turned back and had lost his sister.

"Amber?" He called around, "Where did you go?"

"Here." She shoved a bottle in his hand, "I grabbed one from the fridge, now leave me alone." She turned and left, making her way over to Cassidy Cornell and started to chat.

"Oh no." Dustin ran over to them, "Don't tell me you are friends with her?"

Cassidy disregarded the insult and licked her lips, "And who are you?" She said interestingly.

"He's off limits." Amber pushed between the two of them.

"Boyfriend?"

Amber glared at the two of them. To Cassidy for thinking such a horrific thought and Dustin for cracking up over it. "Worst." She snipped, "He's my brother."

Cassidy extended her hand, "Cassidy Cornell." She smiled, "You may have heard of me. I reporter. I bring all the exciting news into this town."

Dustin shook her hand and smiled.

Trent and Kira stood downstairs. The dirty blonde diva couldn't help but glance over to Conner and Hunter who were still chatting by the keg. She shook he head and glanced back at her friend, "Conner was being ususal jerk self today."

"Let me guess. You caught him talking about you again."

"He said I had a trouble child inside me." She scoffed. Trent chuckled at the thought, "It's not funny." She smacked him in the shoulder.

"Come on, Kira." He looked at her with a smile of intent, "Your songs-"

"Don't even go there." She punched him again, this time she was finally smiling, "They're no darker then the drawings you make."

"I draw landscapes." His eyes arched in confusion.

Kira stepped forward, shoving her index finger right into his chest, pushing him back a little, "I told you. Dark." She smirked.

"Landscapes, Kira."

In the mist of the conversation, Devin came crashing down the stairs, "Fight!" He yelled out.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed up the stairs. The entire party was practically outside in a large group on the lawn. Kira squeezed through the crowd standing right next to Tori. "What's going on?" She asked.

Tori shrugged, "Unwanted guests."

"Stay out of here geek." The kid yelled. The teen was towering over Cameron who laying in the grass. The kid was wearing a black shirt, with a single blue stripe going down his right chest. He had chestnut hair, blue eyes, and broad shoulders. Cracking his black gloves, the shiny silver S.P.D signature flashed in Dustin's eye.

"Who's that?" Dustin whispered over to Kira, not realizing that they never actually had spoken before.

She looked at him, pausing. Dustin just smiled, keeping his cool, "I'm not sure. Hear he goes to the academy across town. Special-Operative Police Division or something" She stated resuming back, "Someone should do something, though."

"Yo man, calm down. We were just checking out the scene." Ethan stepped in to help his friend up, "No harm done."

Cam knocked Ethan away from him and took a step in front of the guy. He adjusted his glasses and starred at him, "Party isn't worth this much trouble." He stated, taking a step back and turning to leave with Ethan.

Ethan and Cam were long gone. Everyone continue to stand on the lawn. Without notice, the entire sprinkler system came on, soaking everyone. The crowd all screamed and yelled as they rushed inside. Minutes had past and Dustin was standing on the lawn by himself, letting the sprinklers soak his clothes. He couldn't help but realize how interesting the entire day had become. He shook his head, coming to terms that perhaps he had needed to accept the place he was in. It wasn't dangerous. In fact, it was a refreshing adventure for him. Whether this was the alternate universe, or being a Power Ranger was all just a dream constructed from memories of things around him, he had to make the best of it. Take it head on. Blend in until he could find answers.

"Hey dork." His sister called out. She was standing at the foot of the steps. Dustin turned around and looked right at her, "You coming in?" Dustin smiled, making his way forward, wrapping his arms around his sister as they entered, "You smell like a dog." She stated as the two went back into the party.
