Chapter 9: On The Road To...South America...
The entire gang walked outside of Tommy's house. It was 2 in the morning, and they couldn't believe they were heading off to South America. They knew they can't waste any time, so they decided to go now, instead of waiting for the sun to rise. Hopefully this way, there will be less traffic when trying to get out of the city.
"So how we doing this?" Tori asked curiously, staring at the Jeep, Van and car that was at their disposal.
Before they could get an answer, Trent's phone begin to ring. He took it out of his pocket and answered it.
"Hello? What? Dad, I cant now. Arg.. Fine.." He said before hanging up.
"Something the matter?" Tommy asked.
He glared at him, "Nothing. I have to go. Guess you can count me out of this trip." He spoke, grabbing his bag and walking out.
Kira raised an eyebrow, "Okay.. that was weird."
Hayley chuckled, "You can thank me later. I called his father. This will be easier for us, since we can't exactly have him follow us when we look for the temple. Last thing we need him to know is that you are rangers."
They all laughed and then Marah took a deep breath, "So who's going in who's car?"
"Eric and I will go in Conner's car. We'll go pick up Ethan." Kira suggested.
"I'll take Hayley, Dustin and Marah." Tommy added.
"So I'm stuck with Cam, Hunter, Blake and Shane!?" Tori gasped, "This is going to be one long trip."
"Hey! What's that suppose to mean?" Shane asked.
"I get shotgun!" Hunter shouted, dashing tot he van.
Blake shook his head, "You'll have to fight me for it." He said, running after him.
Dustin and Marah hopped in the back seat of the jeep, turning to see Blake and Hunter wrestling for the passenger seat. Cam rolled his eyes and walked over to them two, pulling them both by the ear away from the car.
"Ow ow ow." Hunter and Blake chorus.
Cam tossed them onto the ground and smirked, before opening the passenger seat and climbing in. Tori bursted out laughing as she and Shane walked towards the van. Conner, Eric and Kira got into their own car. Kira taking shotgun.
"All right. I gave you each a map. You shouldn't have any trouble." Hayley shouted out to them, "Use your morphers to contact each other."
Conner sped out of the drive way and out onto the road. Tori turned on her engine and started to leave also. Dustin sighed, laying back and relaxing.
"Let's make the best of this." Marah smiled.
He nodded, "Oh I'm sure with a crew this big, we wont have a problem not having fun."
Marah smiled and leaned towards him, using his shoulder as a pillow. Dustin was a bit surprised, but being a nice guy he is, he let her stay there. She slowly started to drift to sleep as Tommy pulled out onto the road. Dustin stared out at everything that was passing by as he listened to Hayley and Tommy spoke to each other. A simple vacation was all he wanted, and now there on a mission. A bizarre one, he might add. His eyes grew heavy and he slowly started to fall asleep. Everything darkened and turned to silence.
--
Hours had passed and the sun was beginning to rise high into the sky. Tori had been driving all night on the highway. Hunter, Blake and Shane were fast asleep in the back and Cam was reading his book. She had saw Conner's car pass by a few hours back, but other then that, she hadn't seen anyone else on the road really. She was getting rather tired as they continued to drive. They had days to go before making it out of the country. Why they couldn't just fly a plane or teleport, was behind her. Cam looked up and noticed a gas station coming by on the right.
"Pull over." He spoke up.
She turned to him, "Why?"
"You've been driving all night. Let me drive." He suggested.
She smiled and pulled over. Coming to a complete stop must have woken the boys in the back, because Tori heard them all groaning and moving. She opened the door and exited and took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air.
"Are we there yet?" Hunter groggily asked.
Blake woke up, adjusting his eyes to the light before leaning forward off the seat.
"Be right back guys. I'm going to go the bathroom." Tori spoke before walking towards the building.
Hunter and Blake climbed out of the van and stretched out. Shane still sat there, trying to wake up. He yawned loudly and looked around before unbuckling his seat belt and climbing out also.
"I'm getting food." Hunter informed everyone and entered the building.
He walked up and down the food aisle, deciding what he wanted. Tori had entered the market and spotted Hunter. She walked over to him and took a look at some of the food near by.
"Anything you want?" He asked.
She shrugged, "Don't know. Just grab whatever. I'll pay for it." She said as she reached for some chips.
Hunter yanked them out of her hands, "I'll pay for them." He smiled.
She brushed her hair out of her face and chuckled, "All right. If you insist."
Tori walked down the aisle and noticed a jewlery stance. She bent down and took a look at all the pretty bracelets and necklace. She gasped and her eyes widen as she spotted something. It was a small dolphin with a crystal eye. The dolphin and chain was all silver and glittery. She read the price tag and groaned. It was 49.99.
"Wow, for a gas station market, they have expensive stuff." She thought to her self.
Hunter walked over and picked up the necklace that she was looking at. She stood up and smiled, "What's this?" He asked.
"Isn't it beautiful?" She looked at him.
He threw the chips down and walked behind Tori, placing the necklace around her neck and clipping it on, "Now it's beautiful." He whispered.
She blushed, not sure what to say. She was so shocked at the sweet compliment, that no words were coming out of her mouth.
"If you want it, I'll buy it." He suggested.
She turned around, "Oh no Hunter. You can't. It's too expensive."
"I'm sure I have nothing else to spend my money on. Don't worry about it. I'll meet you at the van. Let me pay for the chips and the necklace." She was about to take it off for him to pay for it, but he shook his head, "You don't need to take it off."
She nodded and walked to the exit as Hunter went to the counter. She turned around and smiled as he paid for it. She then turned and walked outside where Blake, Cam and Shane were talking. She tucked the necklace in her shirt as Blake approached her.
"Hey, we ready to go?" He asked.
She nodded, "Yeah. We have to wait for Hunter." She responded.
He rolled his eyes, "Darn, we can't leave him?"
She smirked, "No, but I'll leave you if you can't get along with him." She said and walked to her van.
She climbed into the passenger seat, as Shane and Blake climbed into the back.
"This is one long trip." Shane complained.
Hunter scurried out of the store and into the van, tossing Shane the bag of chips, "Here bro, thought we could use some food."
"All right!" Shane exclaimed, digging in.
Cam stepped on the gas, and they continued their long journey.

"Conner! Where are we! Did you take the wrong exit?" Kira screamed.
Conner had been driving for hours, and he was getting irritated by Kira's constant complaint on where to go and not to go. She had the map on her lap, and she was trying to figure out what interstate they should be on, which exit to follow and everything. Conner just drowned her out as she kept talking. Ethan and Eric was fast alseep in the back After being pulled out of bed, and being informed of what was going on, he was trying to catch up on his much needed sleep.
"Conner Mcknight! Are you listening to me! If you don't take this exit! You wont get into the next state! Were going in circles!" She kept nagging.
Conner continued to ignore her and pulled off a exit and into an unknown town. The last sign he saw was Niantic. Next exit."
He was starving and if he kept listening to Kira any longer, he would of drove himself off a bridge. He drove down a unfamiliar street and found a nice restaurant to stop at. He pulled into the parking lot and climbed out. Ethan woke up and took a look around before rubbing his eyes. Kira climbed out and started chasing Conner.
"Conner! What are you doing! We don't have time to eat!" She shouted.
Conner turned around and was a few inches from her face, "I'm tired. I'm hungry. The freakin' end of the world can wait till I'm happy." He said angirly before turning around and conintued to walk.
"Wow, your so selfish." She pointed out.
Conner groaned loudly, rubbing his hands down his face, "Why... Why me." He cried, "Can we just eat without you running your mouth for 5 seconds!" He shouted.
Ethan climbed out of the car and walked towards them, "I'm hungry. Eric is still sleeping. Best we leave him in there." He said and walked passed them and into the resturant.
They entered the resturant and found a table. A waitress came by and greeted them, handing them each a menu, and taking their drink ordrers before walking off again. Conner opened his and took a look at all the mouth watering specials.
"What you getting Kira.?" He asked.
Kira didn't responsed. Conner looked up from his menu, taking the hint that she was mad and ignoring him. She flipped through her menu, trying to decide what she wanted. Ethan was set, he closed his menu and waited patiently for the others. The waiter came back with the drinks, sitting them down at the table. She then left again and Conner looked at Kira.
He sighed, "Kira, you can't seriously be mad?"
"And why not?" She responded, "You were being a jerk."
"Look Kira I'm sorry. I should of not gotten mad at you." He said camly.
Without looking up, she flipped her menu, "Apology accepted. Now, I think I'm going to get some waffles."
"Eggs for me." Conner told her.
"Everything." Ethan laughed, "I'm starving like Marvin."
"Marvin was an alien." Kira pointed out, "He's a cartoon. How would you know how he eats."
Conner rolled his eyes, "Kira.. It's a saying. Its no different then the saying that goes something like, get your head out of your-"
"I dare you to finish that sentence Conner Mcknight." She looked at him sternly.
"Ohh, you know when she says your full name, your in big trouble. The wife is going to beat you." Ethan joked.
Kira and Conner both turned to him, "Wife!?" They both said at once.
Ethan shrugged, "I figured, you guys argue so much, your going to end up marrying each other."
Conner and Kira both grabbed some ice cubes and threw them at him. He was laughing historically, "This trip is going to be so great." He exclaimed, "Watching the newlyweds argue."
"I'm going to kill you right when we get out of this restaurant." Kira pointed her butter knife in his face.
