Disclaimer: the usual..........I am a dork, sorry for the delay, I have been dreaming up some new ideas that I'll lay on you later, on with the show.

CHAPTER 3

Rerouted

"Bro, what's wrong?" Blake asked.

"Uh.....," Hunter said, stumbling with his words.

"Dude, what's up?" Dustin whispered, as he, Cam, and Shane were totally dumbfounded.

"Look bro, I gotta go. They're asking for all electronics to be turned off for a little while. I'll call you back at my next stop," Blake said. Hunter finally got his bearings back.

"Bro, wait, wait....," Hunter said, finally giving up hope when he heard the click of the phone.

"What's going on?" Cam asked as Hunter closed his cell phone.

"Tori is on her way to Europe to see Blake and Blake is on his way HERE to see Tori," Hunter explained.

"What? Dude, how did he get enough time off?" Shane asked.

"Apparently his riding has been great but he's been so distracted that Roger Hannah gave him a few weeks off," Hunter explained.

"Well, dude, what are we going to do?" Dustin asked.

"Let's go back to Ninja Ops and see what their flight schedules look like," Cam suggested.

"Great idea, maybe by some luck they'll cross paths," Hunter said before following the others out of the airport.

Meanwhile, Tori sat back in her chair, watching the buildings and fields below disappear as the plane went higher into the clouds.

'Blake, I can't wait to see you. How will I be able to tell you how I feel?' she thought. She looked down at her ticket, destination was printed to be one of the largest airports in Europe. She laid her head back and closed her eyes, slipping into a dream of her and Blake. Meanwhile, Blake was on pin and needles. He couldn't stop flipping through his photo album of him and the others. His gaze lingered on pictures of him and Tori.

'I hope I finally get the guts to tell how much I love you Tori,' he thought to himself. He smiled at the very thought of her and turned back to his pictures.

A few hours later, back at Ninja Ops, Cam was going over some final details to Tori and Blake's flying schedules.

"This is hopeless. They'll never be in the same place at the same time," he said.

"Too bad the weather couldn't be bad so Tori's plane would have to stop at LA Airport," Dustin said.

"Way ahead of you," Hunter said, coming into the main room with his phone to his ears.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Shane asked.

"Cam, can you get a lock on where exactly Tori's plane is now?" Hunter asked. Cam a little confused, hesitated for a second.

"Yeah sure," he said, unsure, before typing away at the computer. A visual came up on Tori's plane, Blake's position, and far they were away from the LA airport.

"Okay, Leila, go for it," Hunter said over the phone.

"What's going on?" Dustin asked.

"Leila's creating a storm to reroute Tori's plane," Hunter explained.

"She can do that?" Shane asked.

"With a lot of concentration," Hunter said.

"Hey, look," Cam said. They all watched the screen as Tori's plane began to reroute. Meanwhile, on Blake's plane, he was waking up from a nap.

"Sir, you need to raise your seat, we're about to land," the stewardess said. Blake rubbed his eyes and unreclined his seat.

'Only a few more hours,' he thought to himself as his plane began to descend.

"What's going on?" Tori asked herself, noticing the plane was doing something funny.

"Ladies and gentleman, there is some new developments of weather in the path of our destination, making it extremely difficult to fly. We are rerouting to the LA airport," the pilot said. There was a chorus of groans throughout the airplane. Tori sighed.

'Maybe it's a sign,' she thought to herself sadly.

"All right, it worked!" Shane shouted as the radar showed both planes landing at the LA airport.

"Well, that's all we can do. That place is so big, they'll be lucky to get a glimpse of each other," Cam said.

"Dude," Dustin said. Blake and Tori were both filing out of their planes. Tori, unfortunately, had to take a flight out the next day so she made her way to a phone to call a cab and reserve a room. Blake made his way to the information desk to find out where he need to go to get his connecting flight.

"Okay Mr. Bradley, I'm afraid that your connecting flight will be leaving tomorrow at 10:00 am due to weather and crew problems, will you be needing any assistance in finding a room?" the receptionist asked.

"No, that's okay," Blake said, smiling and taking back his ticket.

"Ramada Inn, Henderson Street, Room 124, thank you so much," Tori said over the phone as she took down the information. She hung up the phone and made a few more quick notes, not noticing the two leather encrusted punks approaching her.

"Whoa, hey blondie, what's shakin'?" one asked. The other put his arm around her and looked her up and down. Tori was immediately ticked.

"I gotta room for you, what do you say?" he asked. Tori smirked at him before elbowing him in the gut and ax kicking his friend.

"I say leave me alone!" she cried to the two clowns. She had connected so hard the first time, that they couldn't get up. A few uniforms ran up to her.

"Miss, are you all right?" he asked.

"Yea, I'm fine," Tori said as she gathered up her bags. The officers took the men and walked them over to a holding area. Blake saw them and frowned as they passed by. He walked out to the drive way area and found a cab.

"Where to sir?" the driver asked, opening the door for him.

"The Ramada Inn on Henderson Street please," Blake said. The cabbie closed the door.

"Yes sir," he said as walked over to his side.

MORE COINCENDENCES!!! Will they ever realize how close they are? What will happen at the Inn? Thanks for being patient with my late updates.

Here's what you have to look forward to once I hit you with the HunterLeila Prequel and Dino Storm 2. POWER RANGERS STORM CALLERS (Slightly similar to Ninja Storm, but it has it's own elements to it). In a world where Power Rangers exists only in a television, a alien force creates the storm callers and the first female red ranger. How will the team react to the news? What will happen when once they get their powers, the red ranger must travel through the realms of each ranger team to retrieve a special gem to a powerful sword?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? Let me know if you're interested in my writing it. Take note that she will have some level of attraction to one guy in each realm she travels through whether it's just flirting or more than flirting (not to make her immediately sound like a slut).
