CHAPTER SEVEN Reactions and Decisions
"Are you completely sure about this?" Kanoi asked his old friends.
"Yes, we think it will be best for Andrea if we do this," Carrie replied.
"But of course, we are asking a lot of you to do this.." Mike started to say but Sensei cut him off.
"It would be my pleasure to do this. You know I care about Andrea as if she were my own child," Kanoi replied. Just then, noise came from the top of the stairs to indicate the rangers had returned. The figures descended the stairs to reveal Tori, Shane, Cam, Dustin, and Blake.
"Uncle Mike, Aunt Carrie, this is Shane, Dustin, and Blake," Cam said, introducing them around. Dustin and Shane both greeted Drea's parents with smiles but Blake kind of gave them a cold glare as he shook their hands. Sensei chose to ignore Blake's behavior for the time being, because he was more curious about the two missing figures.
"Where are Hunter and Andrea?" he asked of the rangers. All of them hesitated; glancing at each other, hoping someone would come up with an answer. Blake decided to speak up on behalf of his brother.
"They're having a long deserved private reunion," he same simply. Drea's parents immediately became concerned.
"And just how does our daughter know him?" Mike asked. Blake looked at him in the same cold glare.
"She knows both of us. We were all best friends at the Thunder Ninja Academy before you took her away," he said coldly.
"She's our daughter, we had a right to want her with his," Carrie replied.
"She was happy with us, and you stole that happiness from her and us!" Blake screamed.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" Drea yelled. Everyone's attention suddenly went into the direction of the very angry Drea, whose hand was clutched in Hunter's. He looked equally upset; a pure mix of both anger and sadness, possibly at the idea that the reunion with the love of his life would be short lived.
"I've just been reunited with my two best friends, this should be a GREAT time for me but you're ruining it for me!!!" she screamed, mainly at her parents.
"Sweetie, we don't know these boys..," Carrie started.
"But I do!" Drea cut in. "They're great people and you will never know how much I missed them!!" They all fell silent. Drea took a deep breath.
"Mom, Dad, this is Blake and Hunter. Blake, Hunter, meet my parents Carrie and Mike," she said, trying to get the atmosphere calmer.
"Nice to meet you," Hunter replied, putting one hand out to shake their hands while putting the other around Drea's shoulder. Mike glared at the gesture of Hunter's other hand, but decided to shake hands with him for Drea's sake. Carrie did the same. Hunter looked at his brother, who was holding back, still having the same cold glare. Hunter gave Blake a little shove, silently telling him to shake hands with Drea's parents, which he eventually did.
"Now that the air is cleared, perhaps you should relate to Andrea what you told me," Sensei said to his friends.
"Drea," she tried to correct. Hunter and Blake smirked at her. Drea turned her attention back to her parents, who were now completely unsure of what they were about to do.
"Considering how much more you need to go through with your training and how much your godfather has to work with the rangers, we thought it might be best if you stayed here for a while. Work on your training and be with Cam and your godfather for a little while," Mike explained. Drea could hardly believe what she was hearing. Blake and Hunter had to do everything they could to hold in their excitement.
"Are you serious?!" Drea screamed. Despite all the tension in the room, Drea's parents smiled at her enthusiasm of the idea.
"Yes, if you'd like to do that," Carrie said. Drea didn't say anything. She jumped up and down and grabbed her parents in a tight hug.
"Thank you," she said to them, trying to hold back tears of excitement. Shane, Dustin, and Tori smiled at the display of happiness their new friend was displaying. Cam and Blake each took turns grabbing her in a big, excited bear hug while Hunter finally hugged her affectionately, both smiling at each other with nothing but pure happiness in their eyes. Sensei smiled his little guinea pig smile. Mike leaned down to him.
"You're our last hope, Kanoi. If anyone can help bring our Drea's powers, you and the rangers can," he said.
"I can only promise you that the rangers and I will do our best," Kanoi replied.
Whoa, Drea and Hunter are back together! How will their relationship turn out? Where's it going to go from here? How are Drea's new friendships with the other rangers going to turn out? And what's the mystery behind these powers her dad was talking about? Find out in Chapter 8 of Lightning Thunder.
