Tori was allowed to go home, but Sensi made her stay in bed. Blake was with her everyday. Tori was happy, still a little unnerved that everything happened, but happy nonetheless. They were going to the Luxed's restaruant tonight. It was very upscale. Tori would have to actually were a dress, which she wasn't thrilled about. The mischevious guys had another bet, and Blake was mediating it, but being fair. Tara's family offered to pick up the tab of the meal, although they were warned they were paying for 4 large appitite men, a pregnant woman, 2 other men, and 4 other woman. Therefore, the winnings of the last, unwon bet was carried over, but new bets were placed in. The pot was currently $160. Dustin said, "I bet Tori comes dressed nicely, but not in a dress." That fueled the bet.
"$20 says she does wear a dress, but it would probablly be past her knees." Hunter said.
"$20 says she only wears a long skirt, not a dress." Shane said.
"20 says she wears a short skirt, you know Tori, she'll prove us wrong. She likes being unpredictable." Cam said. Blake collected $20 from each guy and put it with the other $80.
"$160 says who wins it, is going to kicked with a high heal!" Blake laughed. They were all meeting up at the restaruant. So far, Blake, Hunter, Cam, Dustin, and Sensi were standing outside. A few minutes later Tori's van pulled up. The passanger side was to the boys, so they had yet to see what she was wearing. But as Marah got out in her yellow sundress, Dustin didn't think about Tori's attire. As Kapri got out in her red dress Shane's heart stopped. Tara got out in a pink halter dress and began helping Kaylee, who was in a yellow and green floral print, out of the car. Hunter and Cam were both awe struck. Finally Tori made her way around the van, in a powder blue dress, that hugged her in the right areas, was strapless, and flowed from the waist to her knee cap. All the guys where shocked beyond compare. Tori walked over to Blake who was laughing at little at the guys expressions.
"What's so funny?" Tori asked Blake as he continued to laugh.
"Nothing, and something." Blake said, confusing Tori and girls, and scaring the guys.
"Dude, don't--" Dusitn began, before Hunter grabbed his mouth shut.
"Don't what?" Tori asked eyeing the guys supicously. Blake leaned into Tori, and whispered something in her ear. "So who won this time?" Tori asked surprisingly cool.
"Nobody, again." Blake said with a small laugh.
"What, no, I won, I said she'd wear a dress!" Hunter argued.
"But you said it would be long." Shane argued, knowing he lost no matter.
"I said it would be short, so I win." Cam said.
"No, you don't, you said a short skirt." Dustin said.
"Okay, so again, because of techincallities, none of you win! And stop making bets about me!" Tori said before pulling Blake into the restaruant. Tara followed, pulling Hunter, who grabbed Dustin, who grabbed Marah, who grabbed Kapri, who pulled Cam, who helped Kaylee, who pulled Shane along, who grabbed Sensi.
"Okay, so now that the human chain is done, can we eat?" A very hungry Dustin asked.
"DUSTIN!" All 10 of his companions shouted.
"What?" He asked, only to get slapped upside the head by Hunter, and Marah, at the same time."OW!" Dustin cried as he rubbed his head.
"Ms. Luxed! Your father said that you and your friends would be coming. Right this way." An woman about Sensi's age said as she headed off towards the back off the restaruant, and up a beautiful staircase, that lead to the second floor seating. They arrived at a giant circular boothe, that seemed to hover over the rest of the restaruant, seeing as it was on a platform that was above the lower level. There wasn't much floor around it, then there was nothing but the level below. They filed in, having formed a modified human chain again. This time, Tori went in on one side, while Cam went in on the other. Blake, Hunter, Tara, and Shane followed Tori in. Kaylee, Dustin, Marah and Kapri followed Cam in. Sensi sat in a chair at the opening. (Okay if you start at Sensi and go to his left it goes Shane, Tara, Hunter, Blake, Tori, Cam, Kaylee, Dustin, Marah, Kapri, in one big circle, ok?) They ordered and were sitting with their drinks. After Tori's incident, no one wanted alcohol, so they settled on Cokes, Sunkists, and Sprites. Soon everyone was broken off into their own conversations. Blake and Tori were talking with Tara and Hunter, whil Kaylee and Cam flirted unkowingly to themselves, but apparent to the others. Marah and Dustin were talking about god knows what. Leaving Kapri, Shane, Sensi. Senis however began talking to Mrs. Kwan, the waitress, who was a widow as well. Shane and Kapri opted to talk to each other, although both were slightly embarrassed. Once dinner came, everyone began talking as a group again.
"So, the boys betting pot is now, how much?" Marah asked.
"$160." Blake replied.
"If they keep betting, and nobody wins, we'll have enough to use it for something." Tori said with a smile.
"Like what?" Kapri asked.
"Once we have enough, who knows." Blake answered.
"We could save it go on a trip somewhere!" Kapri suggested.
"Yeah, like a road trip." Hunter said.
"We could stay at camp sites rather than stay at a hotel." Cam said, thinking back to the last time the guys went camping.
"Wait, really camping or their style of camping?" Tori asked.
"Real!" Tara, Kaylee, Marah, and Kapri all said together.
"But when?" Shane asked. All eyes turned to Sensi.
"The summer, when you have no classes." Sensi said with a smile.
"What about Tara though?" Kaylee asked.
"Yeah, she has like real work and school, and stuff." Marah said with a disappointed expression.
"Actually, I'm changing my major. As for work, I don't need to work at the hospital if I'm dropping out of Med school." She said with a small smile as ever pair of eyes was on her.
"Why?" 4 people asked at once.
"I love helping people. But its just not my passion. My parents wanted my to be a doctor. I already discussed it with them, before I met any of you. I'm actually going to get a teaching degree and teach martial arts." She said with a small smile as all eyes went big.
"Really? How well trained are you?" Sensi asked.
"3rd degree black belt." Tara replied.
"Have you ever thought of being a ninja?" Sensi asked, as all ten ninja stared at him.
"A ninja?" Tara asked confused.
"Yes, a ninja. I'm sure you do not know, but there are ninja's all around you at the moment." Sensi said smiling.
"Who?" Tara asked with excitement.
"Us." Hunter said as the whole table raised there hands.
"Really? What type of Karate do you teach Hunter?" Tara asked in slight disbelief.
"I'm the head teacher of the Thunder Ninja Acadamy. I am a Thunder ninja, so is Blake." Hunter said.
"Thunder Ninja, you mean theres more than one kind?" Tara asked still in disbelief.
"Water Ninja." Tori said.
"Earth Ninja." Dustin and Kaylee said together.
"Air Ninja." Shane said.
"Samurai Ninja." Cam said.
"Wind Ninja." Marah and Kapri answered.
"Cool. So you all go to the Thunder Acadamy, or are there seperate schools for each?" Tara asked curiously.
"Blake and Hunter went to the Thunder Acadamy. The rest of us went to the Wind Acadamy. Except Marah and Kapri who are still in training." Tori said.
"Oh, um, is that why you always wear the same color?" She asked then shocked at her bluntness.
"Sorta. There's another reason, too." Cam said.
"Can I know or is it some big secret?" Tara asked.
"I don't know either." Kaylee said curiously.
"Guys?" Shane asked making sure it was altight with them, they all nodded.
"Sensi?" Blake asked making sure it was alright with him, he nodded
"Tor, you tell them." Dustin volunteered her.
"Have you heard of the power rangers?" Tori asked cautiously.
"Yeah, why?" Tara asked. Then it dawned on her. Hunter was always wearing Crimson, Shane red, Tori blue, Blake navy, Cam green, and Dustin yellow. The power rangers were Red, Blue, Yellow, Crimson, Navy, and Green.
"Y-you were the P-p-power rangers?" Tara asked just above whisper. The six faces nodded.
"How come Kapri and Marah knew?" Kaylee asked.
"All the students of the acadamies know." Sensi said.
"Also, we were the evil guys nieces." Marah said with a half smile.
"I thought you were Sensi's nieces?" Tara asked.
"They are, Lothor was my brother, evil, but my brother." Sensi explained.
"Were you really a guniea pig?" Kaylee asked.
"What?" Tara asked.
"Lothor accidentally transformed me into a guniea pig, yes." Sensi said. The rest of the night was spent talking about the rangers and ninja's, etc. Shane headed off first, offering anyone else a ride, which Kapri excepted, though both still denie they have feeling for each other. Next Dustin was getting ready to leave, since Marah wanted to talk to Kapri. Cam and Kaylee left, along with Sensi. Blake and Tori left as well. They decided to head to the beach for late night stroll.
"I can't believe they made another bet about me, and you were the middle man!" Tori said slightly pushing Blake.
"Yeah well I wasn't allowed to bet. Besides, we're goin on a road trip with it, they just have to keep making dumb bets, that they all lose." Blake said stopping and turning her to face him.
"Hmm..what do you think their next bet will be?" Tori asked.
"I dunno know. But I do know this.." Blake said pulling her to him." I love you, Tori."
"I love you, Blake." They kissed a long sweet kiss before heading back to Tori's apartment. Hunter and Tara were watching, from behind a dune. Behind another dune, Shane, Kapri, Marah, and Dustin were watching. From a bench near by, Kaylee and Cam watched. The 8 walked out of their hiding spots, only to see the others.
"How much you wanna bet, their engaged by next month?" Shane said jokingly.
"$20 that they aren't." Marah said.
"$20 that there engaged by next week." Hunter said.
"$20 that their married by next month." Kapri said.
"$20 Blake gets laid tonight." Dustin siad before every pair of female eyes stared him down.
"$20 that they kill you." Cam said, laughing as Tara and Marah took off after him. Dustin held his own, but got beat nonetheless. Cam took $20 from Dustin. "I'll give this to Blake tomorrow." They all laughed before heading their septrate ways.
.............................................
I wonder who wins the bets? Hmm... and I opted to keep going, rather than stop the story and go into a spin-off. But keep an eye out for spin-offs as I go.
