CHAPTER 3 Reunited
Conner sighed, checking his watch. He was waiting outside Hayley's Café for Chloe. His face brightened when he heard a familiar bark and saw Daisy run towards him.
"Hey Daisy, hey girl," he said as knelt down to pet her. Chloe smiled.
"She must really like you," she commented.
"Glad you could come. You want to grab a smoothie before we catch up with Dr. Oliver?" Conner asked.
"Sure," she said as they walked into the café. Tommy, Hunter, and Trent perked up when they saw Conner walking in.
"Oh hey guys," Conner said, surprised to see all of them there. Conner took note that Hunter was looking Chloe over with a curious eye.
"Chloe, this is Dr. Tommy Oliver, Hunter, and Trent," Conner introduced.
"Nice to meet you guys. Hunter? Hunter what?" Chloe asked.
"Bradley," Hunter replied.
"I'm sorry, that name just sounds familiar," Chloe said.
"Where's Leila?" Conner asked.
"She went out back to let Spot use the bathroom," Trent said. Chloe frowned again. She heard a door open and unknowingly, Leila walked in. Leila gasped at the very sight of Chloe.
"Is it her Leila?" Trent asked. Leila was silent as she approached Chloe. Conner, dumbfounded, moved out of the way.
"Chloe?" Leila asked. Chloe's face softened.
"Leila? Leila Omano?" Chloe asked.
"I don't believe it. I thought you were dead," Leila said.
"I thought the same about you. I didn't know where to look for you or how," Chloe explained.
"What is going on?" Conner interjected.
"When we were six, my mom was driving us back from vacation and we got into a bad accident. My mom doesn't remember much about the accident. I woke up on the edge of a forest and couldn't see anything but the car. It was on fire and I was afraid my mom and Chloe were in there. But I saw my mom close to the road where the ambulance was," Leila explained.
"I was thrown so far that they didn't find me. Of course, I think I woke up before they even got to the site. When I woke up, I thought I was dead because I couldn't see. I started wandering through the forest, feeling my way around. I swear I was walking for three days straight," Chloe said.
"Which brings us to how you're a lightning ninja," Tommy commented. Chloe's face fell.
"How do you know about that?" Chloe asked.
"We've worked with Thunder and Wind Ninjas. We've learned to pick up on things like fighting style," Trent explained.
"Okay, okay, back to the story," Conner said.
"I finally collapsed from exhaustion and dehydration. I guess I passed out because when I woke up this couple had found me. They were the couple being trained to take over the Lightning Academy as the Sensei's. I told them as much as I could remember and promised they would take care of me until they could get me home. I must've taken a bump to the head because I remembered Leila but I didn't remember anything about the Thunder Academy. I guess my body did because they started training me under the ways of the Lightning Ninja. I picked up on things really quick and I often over heard them saying I had hints of Thunder in my fighting," Chloe explained.
"Whoa, whoa, back up. How did you get out of the car crash without any broken bones?" Hunter asked.
"Oh I had broken bones, but only minor ones, mostly hair-line fractures. The most damage I suffered was to my eyes," Chloe explained.
"So how did you end up here?" Hunter asked. Chloe shrugged her shoulders.
"No big story there. I just felt like coming and I guess I was right on the money," Chloe explained.
"So were you just getting to town when you showed up here the other day?" Conner asked.
"Yea I was," Chloe replied. She giggled a little when she heard loud sniffing. The others looked over and saw Spot and Daisy sniffing each other and wagging their tails. They joined in the laughter.
"What tipped you off to me anyway? None of you saw me fight," Chloe said.
"Conner did. The way he described your fighting got me curious," Tommy said. Chloe smirked over at Conner.
"I guess I have you to thank then," she said.
"Thank yourself. If you hadn't 'gotten the feeling' you never would've come to Reefside in the first place," Conner said.
"I cannot wait for Cam and the others to see you," Hunter said.
"Cam? Watanabe?" Chloe asked.
"Yea, and Tori Bradley, used to be Hanson, Blake Bradley, Dustin Brooks, and Shane Clarke," Trent said, listing all the ninja rangers.
"I know Cam and Blake, but who are the others?" Chloe said.
"That's right, they weren't students yet. Well, Tori was the Blue Wind Ranger and is married to Blake. Dustin was the Yellow Wind Ranger and Shane was the Red Wind Ranger. Your disappearance was a big story throughout the academies and everyone has got to have heard no matter WHEN they joined," Leila explained. Chloe smiled.
"I can't believe this. I'm not sure what to say or do," Chloe laughed.
"Well, first thing, you've got to psych yourself up for seeing your family again," Trent said.
"Yea, and Trent's our brother Chloe," Leila said. Conner's face fell. Chloe was a little surprised but no one compared to Conner.
"Whoa, whoa, what do you mean? Exactly HOW do you two know each other?" Conner asked.
"We're fraternal twin sisters," Chloe said simply.
WHOA!! What do you think? What's going to happen now? How will Conner and Chloe's relationship play out from here? How will the reunion be between Chloe and everyone else? Find out in Chapter 4.
