See Through Skies: To Be A Hero

By: M14Mouse

Summary: Sure, being a hero is fun…but no one ever tell you about the bruises.

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

Takes Place After Stranger Within Part 2

Dustin reapplied his ice pack on his head when his head started to hurt again. Stupid cabinet. He really shouldn't have left it open, dude. He sooo has a knot on his head now. He was bored too, dude. There was no one to talk to online. Why did everyone go poof? He sighed. Chip hasn't been online as much either, dude. His emergency study sessions or Toby needed him to work has really kept him busy.

No one is that busy….well…he was when he was a ranger. But dude, Chip so isn't a ranger….is he?

Nah…maybe, Chip has a girlfriend.

Dude, that is even crazier. He laughed until his head started to hurt again.

Ouch…sooo…not a good idea.

Oh, wait dude! Chip is on. Quickly, he clicked onto his screen name and typed in a hello.

FreestyleDustin: Hey, dude!

SuperChip: Hello…this is Vida by the way.

FreestyleDustin: Uhh…Hey!

SuperChip: The only thing he is allowed to do is check his email. Stop..!

SuperChip: Sorry about that, Dustin….V is being a mother hen again.

SuperChip: For a good reason.

SuperChip: I'm fine! See?! One piece over here.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, what happened?

SuperChip: I'm fine. Don't worry, Dustin. V…stop stea

SuperChip: You aren't fine. You should be in bed…like hours ago!

This was funny stuff, dude….if he had any clue what was going on.

SuperChip: But…I'm not tired.

SuperChip: You fell asleep in my jeep.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I just want to know what happened.

For awhile, no one replied to him. What's the deal, dude? Those two are acting funny…well…funny than usual. Maybe, Vida got him into bed. Nah…doubt it.

SuperChip: Stubborn idiot. He won't go to bed until he gets to talk to you. Maybe, you can talk some sense into him.

FreestyleDustin: Dude…I mean…Vida…you have to tell me happened. I still have no clue what is going on.

Then she didn't answer again. Dude, what wrong with telling him?! If they told him, maybe he could help…or make it worse. Tori said he had the habit of making it worse. Dude, it isn't his fault…sometimes.

SuperChip: We were working on something and Chip fell off the ladder. Didn't tell anyone about it!

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you must have fallen off it pretty good to get V work up like that.

SuperChip: It wasn't that big of a fall and the bruise isn't that big. It is that time of the month. Hey! V…stop stealing my keyboard!

SuperChip: I'm not on that time of the month. Tiny bruise! I wouldn't call it a tiny bruise. The thing covered most of his chest.

FreestyleDustin: Don't want to know why you were looking at his chest.

SuperChip: Is that all guys think about?! I have known Chip since he was seven. I have seen him naked more times than I care to think about.

She soooo didn't need to share that! AHHH!

SuperChip: Thanks for sharing that, V. He really needed to know that.

SuperChip: Anytime.

He watched as his AIM flashed back and forward between Chip and Vida. Dude, he could almost imagine them fighting with each other and the keyboard. He laughed. Dude, it is so like him and Tori….well…Tori would hit him by then. He scratched his head. But something was bothering him. He just couldn't figure it out.

FreestyleDustin: I've a question. And Vida give Chip back the keyboard, dude.

SuperChip: Okay…V is sitting on the bed.

FreestyleDustin: Looking angry?

SuperChip: Yup. What's the question?

FreestyleDustin: Where have you been for the last two days? Kind of curious since you didn't say anything.

SuperChip: You aren't asking about the bruise?

FreestyleDustin: I think Vida got that covered, dude.

Chip didn't answer for a long time. Dude, what was with this quiet stuff? Something is sooo up.

SuperChip: V doesn't want me to tell you. It is…kind of embarrassing.

FreestyleDustin: Oh…one of those girls things…no problem. I got it.

Yup, he sooo didn't want to go there. That is a bad place to the go. It leaded to very uncomfortable conversations.

SuperChip: Since I didn't get a chance to ask you…how are you?

FreestyleDustin: I lost to a cabinet. I have a big knot on my head.

SuperChip: Ouch.

FreestyleDustin: Tell me about it, dude. How is the bruise?

SuperChip: Typical bruise…purple…big…sore when you touch it. It's nothing to freak out over.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that must have been some fall.

SuperChip: I landed on the edge of the counter.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that would hurt!

SuperChip: Yup….Dude….I figured out something…about superheroes today…well…the last two days.

FreestyleDustin: Oh?

This random…even for Chip. Wonder what brought that on? Did Vida traumatize him that much?

SuperChip: I don't think being a superhero has nothing to do the really cool toys…the very cool secret base….even the friends and family part. It has to do with sacrifice. What you are willing to do…even if it hurts. That is what makes a superhero.

His mouth dropped slightly. Dude, what happened the last two days? Chip almost sounded like sensei. He was sooo lost, dude.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I'm so lost!

SuperChip: Something that popped up…when I was dealing with V's problem.

FreestyleDustin: Is V alright?

SuperChip: She's fine. Back to her normal self…just how I like her.

AHHH…what is he missing, dude? He just doesn't know what it was. Dude, he sooo wished Cam was on or Tori…they would understand this more than him.

SuperChip: That is when I take the keyboard away. He is talking stupid stuff. Bedtime, Chip.

FreestyleDustin: No fair! I was about to ask Chip about what he said.

SuperChip: Chip has been on long enough…ask him tomorrow. Say good night, Chip.

SuperChip: Good night, Dustin…Are Tori like this? All mother hen like.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, she would have broken my computer by now.

SuperChip: Now, that is an idea.

SuperChip: NO! Dustin…stop giving her ideas!

FreestyleDustin: LOL! Okay, dude…night!

SuperChip sighed off at 11:35 p.m.

He scratched his head as he looked at the screen. He soooo missed something. Oh, well.

Maybe, Chip does have a girlfriend.

A/N: You don't know how badly I wanted to do this from Chip's POV. V is hitting Chip to prevent him from telling Dustin all about the vampire adventure. I couldn't pass up the chance that Dustin is starting to pick up on some stuff…even if it is the wrong thing. XD Anyway…thank you kindly for the reviews. Review if you wish.
