Tori awoke to two strong arms wrapped around her body- arms that made
her feel safe for the first time in a long time. Her back was to him, and
she could feel him breathing softly on her neck. She turned her head to see
the dark haired Asian hottie that was holding her close. She just smiled
and sighed as she settled deeper into his embrace. Blake responded by
pulling her close and kissing her shoulder.
"You have no idea how many times I dreamed of this," she whispered into the darkness.
"I'm glad I could make your dream come true- you made mine." He said kissing her neck, then her cheek, and finally he rolled he so she was facing him and kissed her sweetly on her lips. They held each other again and drifted back to sleep.
It was around 8 when Hunter arrived back home in the morning. He pulled into the parking lot of their apartment complex and was a little surprised to see a blue van parked near his door. He just smiled, shook his head and headed for the door. The smell of bacon and pancakes filled the air, along with a few mumblings coming from the kitchen. "SHIT!" Blake cursed as the grease from the pan splashed his hand again. "Dude, you're supposed to use a fork or something to turn that you know," Hunter said as he entered the kitchen. "Oh, hey bro. You're, uh, home early." "Yea, Dustin had to go somewhere this morning- I crashed on his couch last night. Man you should have been there! Shane was totally trying to hit on this girl and got shot down- hard! It was hilarious! But I can see by the van in the driveway that you had a pretty good night without us," he said smiling. Blake turned his head to keep from blushing. "Yea- it was a nice night." "So where is she now?" Hunter asked taking a piece of toast off a plate. "Still asleep." "Oh I see- you had a * very * good night" he said punching him in the arm. Blake stifled a laugh. "Yea man. But I gotta get this in to her before the pancakes get cold," he said motioning over to the tray on the counter. "Didn't you like cook last night?" "No. We sort of- had to take care of something and I totally spaced on the whole reason I asked her here. "Rrriiigghhhttt." Hunter said smiling. "Whatever dude. Just give me that tray while I try to finish this before I burn all my skin off." Hunter just laughed at his brother, handed him the tray and went into his room.
The sun hit her face as she sat up in bed, holding Blake's navy sheets around her. 'Where the hell did I thrown that shirt?' she thought. Looking around, she finally found it and shimmied into it. 'It still smells like him' she thought dreamily. Another smell filled her nose as she saw Blake come in with a tray of food.
"What? What is all this?" she said in surprise.
He came over to the bed and set the tray down in front of her. "Well," he said settling down next to her," I figured since I didn't get a chance to make you dinner, I could make you breakfast instead."
She smiled and kissed him.
"Thank you. This is great! I don't remember that last time I had breakfast in bed."
"Well, hopefully this won't be the last time you'll be seeing me in the morning." He said leaning in for another kiss.
She smiled back at him and leaned her head against his.
"So- are you going to eat, or did I scorch my hand in vain?" he asked jokingly.
Tori laughed, kissed him once more, and started to eat.
"Marah! Kapri!" Lothor screamed. "Yes uncle!" the two airheads bellowed. "I have a job for you" "A job? For us?" Kapri squealed in excitement. "Are you sure you want us to do it, because we usually screw everything up," Marah replied. "Ouch!" she cried as her sister hit her. "Yes- I picked you for a reason. I need you to find me some jewelry." He began. "Jewelry?!" They both cried. "This means we get to go shopping!" "QUIET!" he screamed. The two shut up immediately. "I said need you to FIND. Not buy." They both stood still awaiting their orders. "Now," he began. " I need you to go to earth and get a necklace from the Blue Wind ranger." "What kind of necklace? Like a choker, or a charm, or beads, or---" Marah blurted out. "Will you shut up and let me finish?!" "Oops, sorry Uncle." She said looking at the floor. "It's a very particular necklace. It's a round, blue pendant hanging on a silver chain." "Blue- Silver chain- got it" Kapri said saluting her uncle and grabbing Marah by the arm. "And girls," he called. "Do anything you have to in order to get it from her." With those last words they disappeared on a flash of light.
Tori left the Bradley's apartment after her breakfast and headed home to get ready for her day- nothing major. 'Maybe I'll work on that test sensei's giving me on how to channel my powers- again.' She grimaced think back to the last time she had "the test."
~ "Just concentrate" he said to her. Use your inner ninja and channel your other power with it."
She was trying to create an energy ball that would enable her to destroy the simulation of an alien in front of her.
Mustering up all her strength, she tried. Her hands raised above her head- "I summon Blue ninja powers of the rising waters!" she called out holding her hands together. She felt her ninja powers take shape in the form of a small orb between her hands. Now for the added punch of her other power. She concentrated on the amulet that hung around her neck. The stone began to glow, ,but as suddenly as it happened, the stone went dark again and the water ball evaporated in her hands. "I can't do it sensei!" she cried as she sank to her knees.
"You can do anything you pu t your mind to. The power comes from deep within. You just need to learn how to use it."
"But how?"
"When the time is right, you will find the outlet for your power." ~
'Right' she thought. 'Find an outlet' she repeated to herself as she pushed the door to her apartment open. She threw her keys on the kitchen table, seeing a note propped up.
~Hey Tor-
I stopped by to fix your computer like you asked. Everything is working fine now. By the way, Dad wants you to come to Ops early tomorrow for another "test" but I'm sure you knew that already. Well, I'm off.
~Cam
Tori smiled as she placed the note back on the table. After sensei took her in, Cam became like a brother to her. They grew up together, and when she moved out on her own they both felt a bit of separation anxiety. She had a key made for him in case he needed anything, or if she did. 'He must have come by last night.' She said. Making her way through the kitchen into the hall, she headed to the bathroom to take a shower and try to concentrate on her test- or Blake- whichever came to mind first.
"You have no idea how many times I dreamed of this," she whispered into the darkness.
"I'm glad I could make your dream come true- you made mine." He said kissing her neck, then her cheek, and finally he rolled he so she was facing him and kissed her sweetly on her lips. They held each other again and drifted back to sleep.
