CHAPTER 14 More Mysteries
"Hunter!! Trent!!" Leila called as she entered Dr. Oliver's house. She was immediately disturbed that no one was around, but calmed down when she heard Dr. Oliver's familiar voice.
"DOWNSTAIRS!!" he cried. Leila walked over to see a stairwell leading down into the headquarters. She carefully took one step at a time, until Hunter politely offered his hand to her. Leila smiled and took his hand, walking down the steps faster.
"How was dinner?" Trent asked.
"It was great until I spontaneously levitated and just as signed the check, dad started having this panic-like attack and ran out. I went after him, but he had disappeared," Leila said, obviously upset.
"Wait, you levitated?" Blake asked. Leila turned to answer him but smiled when she realized who it was.
"Blake!" she said excitedly. Blake smiled and gave her a hug. When they separated, Leila went back to being upset.
"Yes, I levitated and I have NO idea why. Do you have any idea what's wrong with dad?" Leila asked, shifting her attention from Blake to Trent.
"He's acted like this before but I have yet to know why," Trent said, seeming comfortable with his arm around Kira. Leila smirked in her head, but was too upset to physically do it. She then noticed that the other rangers were there.
"Hey guys, when did you get here?" she asked.
"A little while ago," Shane answered.
"Yea, we ran into Trent and Kira on their date," Tori said.
"Not before Zeltrax and the Tyranodrones," Kira commented.
"Look guys, it's been a long day and night for all of us. It's Friday for crying out loud. Why don't we all get some sleep?" Dr. Oliver suggested.
"Um, dude, where are we staying?" Dustin asked.
"You guys can crash at my place, my mom won't care," Leila said.
"Sweet," Dustin said. Leila walked over to Trent. The new brother and sister gave each other a hug.
"You going to be all right?" he asked.
"Eventually. I think a good night's sleep will help. What about you two?" she asked.
"We're fine," Kira said.
"I'll walk Kira home and then head home myself," Trent said.
"The same goes for you two," Dr. Oliver said to Ethan and Conner.
"Aw man," Conner said.
"You going to fill Devin in on all of this?" Ethan asked.
"Yea, I'll call him in the morning," Dr. Oliver said.
"Who's Devin?" Shane asked.
"Our sixth ranger, the Triassic ranger," Ethan explained.
"Okay, everybody out. Get some sleep and I'll see you all at Hayley's tomorrow," Dr. Oliver said, ushering them all out. Conner gave Ethan a ride home while Trent walked Kira home like he said he what.
"So what do you think about all of this?" Conner asked.
"All of what? Having our predecessors here?" Ethan asked.
"Yea," Conner replied.
"Well, you forget, our teacher and fellow ranger happens to the predecessor to almost every existing ranger past and present. But as far as having everybody here and everything that's going on with them, it doesn't surprise me at this point in the adventure," Ethan said. Conner nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Kira was questioning Trent.
"So is that panic-attack Leila described a normal thing for your dad?" she asked.
"In a way, yes. I'm not really sure what it is, but it has happened before," Trent explained.
"Shouldn't he see a doctor?" Kira asked. Trent chuckled.
"My dad won't see a doctor unless he's dying," Trent said. Kira laughed. They had been talking for a little bit. Before they knew it, they arrived at Kira's house. She turned to Trent and they smiled at each other.
"I had a great time Trent," Kira said.
"Me too. Sorry about the interruptions," Trent said. Kira laughed.
"It's okay, it keeps things interesting. But I wouldn't mind trying for a regular, no freaky interruption kind of date," Kira said. Trent smirked.
"That could take several tries," he said playfully.
"I'm up for it," Kira replied playfully. Trent laughed and moved closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, she put his around his neck, and they locked their lips. They made out under the moonlight for several minutes, until they finally had to separate for air.
"How about we try another date next weekend? I'd say tomorrow but it looks like we're going to have a busy weekend," Trent said. Kira smiled.
"I would love to go out with you again next weekend," she said. They kissed again before Kira finally went in for the night. Leila and the Ninja Rangers arrived at her house.
"Mom!" she called. The rangers stood at the door, waiting for a response.
"Hey Leila, here's a note," Cam said, handing Leila a piece of paper. Leila took the paper, read it, and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Hunter asked.
"My mom went back to the academy for the weekend. She never just goes without mentioning it," Leila said.
"Well, maybe there was an emergency," Blake pointed out.
"Maybe. I don't know. There are two guestrooms down here and somebody can stay in my mom's room. The couch is more comfortable than it looks. There's plenty of leftover pizza in the fridge. I hate to rush out like this, but I need a shower," Leila said.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine," Tori said reassuringly. Leila walked upstairs while the others got settled into the guestrooms. Shane, Dustin, and Cam were settling into one guestroom when Hunter and Blake came in, rubbing their ears and looking around.
"Dudes, what's up?" Dustin asked.
"You guys don't hear that ringing?" Hunter asked.
"What ringing?" Shane asked.
"That answers that question," Blake said.
"What's going on?" Tori asked, coming into the room.
"Blake and Hunter hear some type of ringing that none of us can hear," Cam explained.
"Bro, wasn't the ringing louder next to the stairs?" Blake asked.
"Yea it was," Hunter said. The Thunder brothers made their way up to the stairs, followed by their curious friends. They stood in the hallway for a second, then entered Laura's room. The other rangers stood in the doorway as the Thunder brothers looked around. Blake looked under the bed and reached in for something.
"I think I found it," Blake said to Hunter, pulling on the object. What he pulled out was the box Laura had hidden from Leila when they had moved into the house.
"Is that what I think it is?" Hunter asked.
"No wonder they couldn't hear it. It only effects Thunder Ninjas," Blake said.
"But what about Leila? She hasn't said anything about a ringing," Hunter said.
"Bro, she levitated...," Blake said.
"And her birthday's next week," Hunter finished.
"Do you guys care to elaborate?" Shane asked. Hunter and Blake looked over at their friends with confusion and shock in their expressions.
What's with the box? How is it connected to Leila? When will we know what's up with Anton Mercer? Will any of this help the other rangers get their powers back? Find out in Chapter 15. Please R&R.
