A girl walked along the sidewalk. Her waist length auburn hair was
wrapped in an intricate looking braid that hung down her back. She lifted
the piece of paper and looked at the name with her blue eyes.
'Storm Chargers.' She glanced out ahead of her and saw a colorful yellow building with a large sign on it. She slipped the paper in her pocket and headed that way.

Dustin was in the back when the heard the doorbells ringing. He went out to see a tall girl looking over surfboards. He smiled and walked over.
"Can I help you?" he asked. The girls turned around with a blinding smile.
"Yea- maybe you can. I'm looking for Tori Hanson, do you know where I could find her?" Dustin ran his hand through his hair.
"I'm not really sure where she is to tell you the truth. She's usually here, the beach, or the acad-" he stopped himself mid sentence. He almost said the academy.
"What?" the girl asked.
"Nothing. She usually comes in a little later. Do you want me to give her a message or something?"
"Nah- that's alright. I can just come back later. I really think I'm going to have to buy that board. It's just screaming 'BUY ME!' they both started to laugh. "Well thank you- Oh I'm sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Sarah," she said extending her hand.
"Dustin," he said responding.
"Thanks Dustin. I'll be back later." She turned and walked out. Kelly saw her exit and came out.
"Who was that?" he asked whipping grease off his hands.
"Some girl named Sarah looking for Tori." Kelly shrugged and they both went back to work.
(((((((((())))))))))
"Okay. Good job today everyone," Tori said trying to catch her breath. She had been training her new students all day. The students bowed and exited. Tori grabbed a water bottle and fell to the ground trying to stretch out her calves. She leaned her arms down and grabbed her toes, pulling them back until she felt her muscles release. She laid down flat on her back and stared up at the clear blue sky. She felt the breezes run over her sweat soaked face, cooling her skin. She closed her eyes and thought about her life up until this point.
Lothor was gone. She was made a teacher at her beloved Wind Ninja Academy in the element of water. She finally made it to Hawaii, the surfing capital of the world, and surfed the big waves for three weeks. She had even been offered a sponsorship to compete in the pros, but turned it down. She never regretted her choice- she had chosen the life that gave her a reason to get up in the morning. Surfing was something that she loved, but teaching others the way of the ninja was more important. Her ninja training had brought so many things to her. Discipline, respect, honor, peace, friends, a family, Blake-" her eyes shot open. 'No Tori. You can't do this to yourself. He's gone. He's been gone and he's not coming back,' he thought to herself. Their parting was still fresh in her mind. She wondered if he had listened to the song and read the letter. It had been two months since he and Hunter left, and she hadn't heard a word from him. She sighed at the unpleasant memory and forced herself to get up. She grabbed her things and loaded her van. 'I need to surf.'
((((((((((()))))))))))
Sarah paddled out on her board. It was her favorite one, and that was apparent from the noticeable dings and scratches on the top and bottom. She sat looking at the shore, waiting for a wave. She saw her wave and rode it in with skill to the shore. She grabbed her board and headed back to her stuff. She saw a blonde girl in a blue and black wetsuit waxing a board. She smiled and went up to her.
Tori felt someone approaching her. "Fancy meeting you here," the person said. Tori glanced up from her board and stared the person in the face. After a dew moments Tori's eyes lit up.
"Sarah? Sarah Williams?! Oh my god!" she said standing up and enveloping her in a hug. She pulled away still in disbelief. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay in Maui?" Tori had met Sarah when she visited Hawaii. They cliqued instantly and became fast friends. This was a shock.
"I needed a change of scenery, so when I got your last letter with those pictures, I figured Blue Bay Harbor would be a nice place to settle."
"So you're staying?" Sarah nodded her head.
"Yep- I got a nice little beach house over that way," she said pointing down the beach. Sarah was a very talented surfer and had been sponsored since she was 14. she had quite a bit of money stashed away, but you'd never know it. The two girls picked right up where they had left off.

Cam was walking through the woods towards the lake by the academy. He stopped suddenly when he saw her practicing with one of the wooden sabers. He crouched down in the bushes and watched her, Laura Chien, going through a beautiful Samurai kata. Laura was one of the few students that had begun training with Cam in the way of the Samurai after they had been released.
He stared at her fluid motions and sighed. She was the first student, before the rangers came, that paid any attention to him. She moved to Blue Bay from Taiwan and enrolled in the academy when she was 10. She and Cam grew close over the years, and when Lothor attacked and she was captured, they both realized how they truly felt. Cam gathered up the courage and decided to tell her today.
He was mesmerized by her- her shoulder length black hair tied loosely with a green ribbon, came loose and was flying about her tanned face. She replaced her sword on its sheath and went into a tumbling motion with flips and back handsprings. On the last cycle, she landed on her right foot at an awkward angle, causing her to fall the to ground in pain. Cam emerged from the forest and rushed to her side.
Laura opened her eyes and saw her hands clutching her ankle. Her breath left her when she saw someone else's hands on top of hers. She smiled weakly when she saw it was Cam.
"Are you alright?" he asked her shakily. He was staring into her brown eyes causing her to blush. She was very surprised to see him there, but was overjoyed that he was. It took a moment for either one to speak.
"Yea, I, I think I just landed on it wrong," she said blushing as his hands began to feel her ankle. She smiled at him and felt something inside of her grow. She had grown to love him over the years, and now she was about to tell him. He looked up from her foot and into her eyes. Neither one spoke as their heads were drawn closer together by a force they didn't want to stop. Gently their lips brushed. They both pulled away and smiled. Cam placed his hand behind her head and brought her in for another one, this one more passionate.
Laura felt her lips on his and felt a total release. All other thoughts were out the window. She wrapped her arms around his neck and felt his going around her waist. They released from the kiss and held each other gasping for air. Laura rested her head on his chest and felt his heartbeat going very fast.
"Laura," he whispered into her hair. She returned her head upwards to meet his gaze. "I-I---,"
"Cam- I love you," she said kissing him. Cam's face was on fire. He smiled down at her shining eyes.
"I love you Laura." They sat in each other's embrace for a while longer until Laura felt her ankle swell.
"I think I need some ice," she said looking at her injury. Cam smiled and scooped her up in his arms causing her to giggle. They walked back to the academy and got her ankle treated.
