Disclaimer: I don't own anything

Author's Note: Alright, I know Hunter isn't being super nice to Rachel or anything, but look at where he's coming from. A week doesn't give someone like Hunter, who's had his entire life acting one way, to change.

Sorry about not updating last week. I didn't have access to a computer over the weekend, so I couldn't finish them. So I finished it and here it is…

Things Are Worse on the Other Side

Blake had ignored all calls on his phone the rest of the evening, in fact he had decided on avoiding everyone and had gone over to Hunter's, which when he had shown up Rachel thought was a little odd. Hunter asked Rachel if he and Blake could be alone and she did, even taking some stuff to spend the night at a friends' house. Hunter didn't even bring up anything until later in the evening.

"So, Tori has a boyfriend, and you have a girlfriend?"

"Apparently."

"Come on bro, that hurts doesn't it?"

Blake shrugged; he didn't really feel like talking about it. He just wanted everything to go back as it was, but then their parents…

"Alright fine. Don't talk."

"What do you want me to say?"

"That you'll try it out."

Blake looked at Hunter he knew that Hunter was trying to get to him about the whole Rachel thing, "Not like I have a choice huh?"

"Nope. No choice."

Blake looked down at the floor and decided to study that for a bit hoping to shake Hunter off, he knew it wouldn't work but he thought he'd give it a try. When he had looked up he noticed that Hunter hadn't shifted at all. "So are you just going to sit and watch?"

"No. What are we going to do?"

"Right now? I don't know. I mean we've been here a week."

"A week and a day. Or our whole lives."

"But Hunter, surely you remember?"

"I might, but come on bro, how can we be sure which is true and which isn't? I mean what if we had actually got stuck in there?"

"You mean we should be here and then we got sent to another universe?"

Shrugging Hunter leaned back against the couch, "I don't know. None of this makes sense at all."

"I know."

"If we really do come from one where we are rangers then shouldn't we have something?"

"Like what? Our morphers?"

"Yeah. Maybe we should try and take to Sensei Omino. He gave us our morphers in the first place. He has to have them."

"That's true. Except when I tried to get in to see him, I couldn't."
"What about Leanne?"

"What about her?"

"Let's ask her."

"Right, she's not even here bro. She's at school…in another country."

"Alright fine."

Blake looked at Hunter, "If we are going to keep this going you have to be nicer to Rachel."

"Blake."

Hunter had said that with a bit of a growl coming out of him meaning he didn't want to talk about it. Anyone else would have backed down, but what was Hunter going to do to him? "She's a nice girl. She's not trying to hurt you in any way. But you're hurting her. Just try."

Hunter looked at Blake, "What about your wonderful girlfriend?"

After swallowing the man dressed in dark blue looked at his older brother, "I have to treat her like she's supposed to be." Blake looked away not wanting to continue this conversation. "Can we watch a movie?"

"Sure." This time Hunter's tone was softer, one that anyone else barely heard.

Tori sat with Shane, Dustin and Dil at a restaurant celebrating Dustin's victory at the freestyle competition. They were all enjoying themselves and having lots of fun but Tori couldn't help but think about Blake which was really frustrating. Her boyfriend was next to her, and he was really sweet, plus he surfed which was awesome. But after meeting Blake feelings inside of her rose to the top that she didn't quite understand.

And what was frustrating was she didn't have anyone else to talk to; perhaps she should talk with Sensei Sarah, she was a girl and mature, which was more than what she could say about her two best friends.

"Tori? Dude, are you even listening to me?"

Shaking her head she looked at Dustin, "Sorry, my mind was somewhere else."

"Are you feeling okay?" Dil asked her looking concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay." Shane said.

"Actually guys, I think I might call it a night. I'm a little tired."

"Okay. Sure." Shane said.

"How about I take you?" Dil said standing up.

"No, it's okay. I can walk. I'll be fine. I promise." She looked at all three guys and shook her head. Dil leaned in and gave kissed her. It wasn't long which she was thankful for. Smiling she waved good bye and then left.

The Next Day

"This is ridiculous." Blake said throwing his fork down on the table. "None of this makes sense."

"I know." Hunter agreed pushing his plate aside.

"We wake up here. Mom and Dad don't even live in their house anymore."

"The Thunder Academy is gone."

"We had those weird things trapped to our wrists."

The two brothers remained silent for a brief moment before Hunter quietly added, "I can't find Rachel."

Blake's eyes flickered up to Hunter filled with sadness before turning back to the same empty, desperate look the two had for the past week, "The school doesn't know me."

"No one at work knows me."

"We're stuck in this tiny apartment."

"Away from everyone."

"Did we die or something?" Blake looked up quietly at Hunter who had by then folded his arms and had a worried expression on his face.

As soon as Hunter saw Blake's scared look Hunter unfolded his arms, "No. I don't think we're dead. It wouldn't make sense. Rachel and I had just gone to bed that night."

"I fell asleep in my bed."

"Yeah sure. You know maybe it was you."

"How do you figure?"

"You were at the rocks again weren't you?"

Blake shrugged, "Nothing you haven't done before."

"I know. It's just, you are being careful?"

"Of course."

Hunter snorted and picked up his fork moving some of the food around. "I miss her cooking."

Blake raised an eyebrow, "Sorry bro."

"I miss more than just that, but you know." Hunter left it at that knowing he didn't want to continue.

"And why do we live in Blue Bay Harbor?" Blake asked, which was the thing that didn't make sense the most. If people around them were different and such…he just…this wasn't where they grew up.

"I have no idea."

"I hate this place."

"You don't think it's a joke do you?"

Blake thought for a minute, "Maybe? If this is a joke—"

"You'll think it's funny."

"True." After a few minutes Blake spoke again, "Sorry for getting so upset and sounding like that, I'm just…you know?

"I know." Hunter finally downed his juice. "Rachel and Mom's cooking."

"Hey I know."

"What? Why don't we get to the internet, we should be able to find out what's going on."

"Good idea."

And the two brothers took off.
