Hayley's Cyberspace bumped with the band tuning up for the show. Teen moved about everywhere talking and sipping on all manner of drink. Hayley was always busy during the summer and especially now that the Rangers were so well known in Reefside everyone treated the town like some tourist retreat. Of Course Hayley would never turn away costumers it just meant more lovely business for her to keep her busy and bring in the cash flow. Nothing could go wrong tonight nothing at all in her mind.
"Hayley!" She sighed cursing herself and turning to the voice slowly. There stood Kira decked out in a fashionable one piece black dress with black stockings and tall boots with yellow laces.
"What's wrong Kira?" She said as sweetly as she could.
"I can't do this. I can't meet them right now!" Kira said rather flustered
Hayley sighed as she knew what all this was about. She saw it happen Trent breaking up with Kira followed by Trent and Ethan getting close. She saw Kira float away from the group with Conner pulling her back.
"You were the one telling them to come here." Hayley pointed out filling out a drink order.
Kira shook her head some "Yeah but then I thought about it and went 'what the hell am I thinking!' Hayley tell them to leave or something. Call off the entire thing!"
Hayley sighed some and put her hands on Kira's shoulders "Kira they want to see you as much as you want to see them. You have to suck it up and talk to them."
Kira looked down sighing loudly "You're right Hayley I just it still hurts." Kira bit her lips and Hayley squeezed her affectionly.
"Don't worry I will be here for support along with Conner and Tommy."
Kira smirked "Knowing Conner he will just make it worst." Turning away from Hayley Kira stopped dead in her tracks. Ethan and Trent were coming thru the door still decked out in ranger colors they could never escape. Her eyes trailed on Ethan who didn't seem to be in any chipper mood right now but she did see his hand grasping Trent's tightly. A ting of jealously crept up into her chest as she then looked to Trent looking suave as always and keeping close to Ethan. Kira couldn't do it not this time as she turned to make a beeline for the stage to get farther away Conner's arm grabbed her and turned her around.
"Now now you should say hi." Conner said with a smile.
"Were the hell did you come from! " Kira almost screamed then shut up "Conner left me go "She gently pushed against him but it was too late. Trent and Ethan stood infront of her trying to force smiles. She reached deep inside of her and welled up a smile of her own noticing them release their hands.
"Hi." She said weakly her eyes dropping to the ground to stare at her boots
"Hey" Both Trent and Ethan said together their eyes on the floor too. For a moment the air was thick with tension all three of them unable to say anything else. Conner sighed and rubbed his head quickly coming up with something.
"So middle of summer eh? So hot outside."
"It's hotter in here." Ethan said without thinking receiving a quick glance from Trent.
Conner rubbed his head again and looked to Kira quickly "Kira! So what songs you singing today?"
Kira looked up at Conner and frowned some "My standard songs although I did write a new one during this month. "
Trent and Ethan both visibly cringed and Kira slapped herself a bit for saying that now. The three of them lapsed into silence again with Conner finding no way to change it. Suddenly a blur of yellow latched onto Trent and Ethan sending both of them into defensive stances tossing their elbows back. The mystery yellow blur hit the ground coughing some "Dude do you hit all your friends like that?"
Trent and Ethan turned with Ethan gasping "Dustin?"
Dustin rubbed his belly as he got up smiling and rubbing his moppy head "Hey bros!"
Kira raised a eyebrow eyeing the former yellow Ninja storm ranger. "Why are you here?"
Dustin smiled wide "Well you know I was just in the neighborhood and.."
"Dude Blue bay isn't that close" Conner said dryly
Dustin was about to speak when a blue purse collided with his head and he fell forward onto a table. The owner of said purse smiled at the group in front of her pushing some of her blonde hair back.
"Hey guys" Tori Hanson said not paying attention to the hurting boy on the table.
"Tori!" Kira bounded past the boys and hugged Tori having become close to her ever since their little team up to fend off Lothor and Mesogog teaming up. "What are you doing here?"
Tori returned the hug and smiled "Well knucklehead there wanted to come here and ask you all something. And of course I was elected to drive him because no way is he getting my van."
Kira nodded then blinked "Wait ask us what?" Just then Kira heard her band mates on stage call her name and sighed "Can it wait till after I finish my show?"
Tori nodded "Of course. I rarely get to hear you anyways."
Kira smiled quickly "Awesome" she turned to the other boys and sighed to Trent and Ethan before walking past them to the stage.
Rick and Alan glanced to each other on stage as Kira's band mates they mostly did the setting up for her while she warmed up. Since she seemed to be having a bit of drama today they took extra care to finish up everything before she got to the stage. Only right now they were in a bit of a jam.
"Rick please don't tell me the speakers are busted." Alan said messing with the guitar in his lap. He had the same rocker look as Kira having some yellow on his belt something Kira said they should all have some of.
"Hey don't blame me! Michael is supposed to handle the speakers and he is running late as usual!"
Alan sighed glancing to Kira "She's going to blow up at us about this."
Rick nodded then smirked "Michael will get it worst for being late so we might want to tell her anyways."
Alan raised a eyebrow "You just want to get him in trouble."
Rick nodded "Of course!" He then waved to Kira "Hey Kira!"
Alan sighed as he saw Kira bound to the stage smiling at them like they saved her from lions about to rip into her.
"What's going on?" She said cheerfully with got a cringe from Alan but Rick just smiled.
"Michael is late and he didn't fix the speakers from last time." Rick said quickly
Alan gasped at him for lying like that and looked to Kira who had a less than happy expression
"Oh great now I can't even play! What else will happen today I wonder?" Kira suddenly cursed herself for saying that as the next few moments happened in a blur. Michael came into the Cyberspace in a rush with his keyboard. He ended up slamming into Dustin who again resumed his position on the table face down but not before bumping into Ethan who fell into a waiter holding a huge stack of strawberry drinks. Everyone seemed to stop as the tasty drink flew across the Cyberspace onto its unwitting victim...Kira.
Kira stood there her mouth open covered in smoothie as everyone in the cyberspace watched her in horror. Kira suddenly just screamed "That's it!" She bolted to the door mumbling bad idea over and over again Hayley looking on with sympathy on her face.
Tori sighed and looked to the boys "I better follow her." And with that she disappeared out the door after Kira. Conner looked to Ethan who looked super guilty moving over closer to Trent who gave him a comforting pat.
"Man that was Gnarly." Dustin said getting up off the table leaning onto the bar and ordering a smoothie of his own seeming to be non-affected by the events.
"I wish I had your recovery skills" Conner said dryly as he sat next to Dustin with Ethan and Trent moving closer. "So what did you guys come here to tell us anyways? I'm sure Tori will mention it to Kira now so ask away."
Dustin smiled and pulled out a white paper from his pocket. He unfolded it and held it out to the boys displaying a nice looking hotel in the mountains with some pools around it.
"Well we wanted to know if you guys want to go on one last summer trip!" Dustin said with a perky tone to him.
Conner rubbed his chin "Dude i wanted to head somewhere before everyone parted ways. Sounds like a ton of fun right guys?" He said glancing to Trent and Ethan.
Trent sighed "Yeah sounds like fun. I've only been to a mountain resort once." He smiled to Ethan "All the free internet you could want."
Ethan's eyes lit up at that "Oh man I could still level my orc warrior!"
Conner groaned "Dude you will be at a resort! You can game anytime later."
Dustin grinned "Plus there will be tons of girls. I'm sure we could all find one."
Trent and Ethan groaned and Conner started to laugh loudly with Dustin looking on with confusion. Conner had forgotten to mention the newly gay couple whenever he talked to Dustin so of course he would be confused.
"They don't really need to find girls Dustin."
Dustin blinked some then smiled "Oh yeah Trent is with Kira and Ethan is with that geek girl right?"
Conner's laugher would not let up and it got worse when he saw Trent and Ethan shooting daggers at Dustin. "No they just prefer sausages"
"Sausages? There will be plenty at the resort!" Dustin said ignoring Conner's laughing and the glares of the two embarrassed teens.
"Nah they just...dont pitch for our team." Conner said biting his lip.
"Reefside has a baseball team?" Dustin said getting his drink from Hayley and sipping on it noticing her glaring at Conner.
"WE ARE GAY!" Everyone stopped and looked to Trent who instantly moved over to Ethan putting an arm around him. There were some whispering about their disgust some girls whining about how cute they were together but the most shocked look was from Dustin who almost choked on his smoothie.
"What since when?" He said after he recovered from his coughing fit looking to them for answers
"A few weeks after prom" Trent said smiling some "So Conner didn't tell you."
Dustin frowned some "He didn't mention it! But Dude that's fine by me I have a few gay cousins and all that. And now that I know you two could totally share a room." Dustin said wiggling his eyebrows at them.
Trent smirked and looked to Ethan who seemed to get the same idea as Trent leaning closer "Well as long as the room has great internet."
Hayley suddenly appeared again next to Dustin "Boys while I'm not the expert on this at least stay protected." All four boys suddenly flared red and Hayley grinned turning to do more orders.
