"Dude! What about us?"

The not so original but always needed DISCLAIMER

I don't own any of the characters here presented and/or any of the Power Rangers Ninja Storm stuff, that is property of SABAN and DISNEY, not mine (I wish they were, but...)

Also, If you don't like male/male relationship don't even go further because that's all you're gonna find. One more thing, the sexuality of any of the actors here implied is not of my concern and this is just a FICTION product.

Chapter 5

Siren from the deep, chant me from within.

When Dustin and Evan started to get to know each other, it was really strange. Maybe because Evan was just too shy and Dustin was too open, maybe because Evan was always thinking and Dustin always speaking... or maybe because there was really nothing to link this two.

When Evan first entered to Dustin's room it was all messed. Evan was a master in cleansing, and so he began to work. He fixed here and lifted here. He picked all the cans and bottles there were, he took a broom and cleaned the entire room. He even mopped it!

Once he finished, Evan fell. He was so tired but finally he could make himself comfortable. And then he raised and looked for something. When he was doing all this job he found out lots of comic books, most of them were Evan's faves, but also he found out books.

Yeah! The airhead of Dustin had books. Some interesting and difficult ones as "The World of Sophia: a Story of Philosophy" which was by Joostein Gardner. And also the classical ones as "Dante's Divine Comedy" or "The Iliad".

It wasn't really for Dustin to read all those books. Maybe they were for an assignment at school or for something... who knows?

Evan didn't really consider Dustin to be an airhead. In fact, Evan was so clueless that he never realized of how people really were, because he was teach by his personal babysitter that "envelop is just a layer covering the core".

Yeah, Evan was a rich boy. He had all the luxuries in the worlds at his beck and call, but he refused of all them. He had a nanny for him and his brothers, who were at his full service the 24 hours. He never realized also, that his nanny had been with them more than what he imagined. His parents used to called her "Yaobikuni" but he never knew what that meant.

He really never had that much knowledge, but still he could know of what the others were talking and mumbling about. That was because all that money spoiled his opportunity to go to school and study as any other normal guy. Then, their parents asked for a personal teacher, but he had him just three years, because at the next year he ran away.

Evan then heard a sound of the hot water. It was calling him to pour it in the instant Ramen that he has bought to dinner tonight. And Dustin wasn't there to take the meals with him. He closed the books that he was reading when he was remembering his nanny and then went to the table.

He heard again the sound of the motorcycle.

"Dude, I think I'm in the wrong house"

"No, you're not!" said Evan, when he approached to the door.

Dustin threw his backpack and walked over to him. He took a deep breath and smelled the air here. It was fresh pine.

"Dude, you didn't have to do"

"Well.. Sensei, you said that I could make myself comfortable"

"That wasn't what I meant... but anyways, umm... I promised to give ya a tour, so..."

"I was going to have dinner..."

"Dude! You're not going to eat ramen when there are hundreds of places to eat pizza?..."

Asked him

"Well... there are just 27 establishments that have Pizza in the menu and 14 are from a very wealth company, there are 6 Italians and 7 more other that just have pizza in there and, this guy from..."

Dustin placed his finger over his lips, shouting him up in a very cute way

"Dude, I can barely make you talk in the class and right now you spit this all info in pizza?... C'mon, let's go..."

Dustin then went to his room. He started to undress himself and changed his yellow shirt for something more comfortable. He took off his shirt and then this tank top that covered his upper body. He made it all in front of Evan's eyes, who felt a lil' bit weird about watching his own teacher undressing in front of him, but just inside his mind, he was thankful to see his skinny chest. Dustin wasn't the hunky type, but for some reason, he captured Evan's eyes...

"Dude!, Dude!!!!"

Evan was thinking away when Dustin grabbed his arm and asked him to go out. He was in another world and Dustin was ready to go.

They both went out and started to walk. Dustin then took a helmet and threw it to Evan, who just dropped; he was so careless and so lost that he even hit his chest with the catch. Dustin just let go a giggle and Evan apologized. He took the helmet and put it on. Dustin did the same and they both started their tour.

Dustin took Evan through all of Blue Bay. First to the Pizza Store, then they passed near by Storm Chargers, and so on... until they reached one beautiful shore. Even when it wasn't so clear and it was full of rocks, it still had something appealing to them. It was called the "Siren's chant"

They both took off their helmets and started walking to the beach. Dustin folded his pants and also took off his shoes and Evan did the same mimicking him. Dustin then, sat down in the middle of the sand, and Evan did the same.

"So, Dude, this is it.... My fave place in Blue Bay is Siren's Chant"

"Why?" Asked Evan, trying to approach him.

"Well, they said it's magical. Once upon a time there was this sailor who went to the war, but he left here his bride. She waited for him all the mornings in the port, but not a single ship came over the place. One night, before the sunlight came, she saw something in the water."

"A siren, right?"

"Well... Something like it. A face and next a torso, it all came from the water. The woman was scared and she was going to cry, but the siren asked her not to call anyone, and she will tell her the secrets of the sea. The bride did what the siren told her, and then this two chics went to this very shore... The siren told her to follow her, and y'know, once they were here, the siren tried to eat the bride!"

"And what next?" Said Evan, expecting everything from this story.

"Well... The bride used a stick from some fallen trees or something and beat the crap out of her! In fact, this bride girl was defending herself from the attack of the Siren. Finally, the siren died, and well... if the bride told the town folks that she killed a siren, well, no one would know for sure what will happen to her, so she never did. In fact, the legend says that she took the meat of the siren's tail and ate it!"

"And did she become an undead zombie?"

"A zombie?" Asked Dustin "Dude, where did you get that?"

"Well... where I'm from we have a similar legend. It is said that sirens cry pearls and eat human flesh. Yet, there are legends of a nun who dare to eat the flesh of the siren once she killed her. But one who eats it may be cursed in different ways... one is becoming a mindless undead, and the other is to give eternal life"

"Dude, really?"

"Yeah... We used to call the sirens, 'Ningyo'"

"Dude! It's just alike this story! The bride got eternal life!"

After the cultural coincidence, both guys get to talk about each other lives. Their families, their love interests, everything. Dustin was the one asking him, because he never did answer properly. He was so lost, trying to evade the questions and trying to change subjects that at one point Dustin got mad.

"Dude, you should stop that"

"Stop what?" Asked Evan

"Well, when I ask you 'bout you family, you just keep changing the subject"

"I haven't realized that I do something like it... Look at the sunset! It's just"

"See! You're doing it now!" Said Dustin interrupting, at the same time he opened his arms and waved them. "You keep doing the same thing over and over! Bro, I can't know you that way!"

"Well..." Evan waited. He took a deep breath and continued. "I think its better this way"

Evan just turned his face around. They never realized how far the night had crawled in the skies, and the moon shined above his complaints.

"Better! Dude, you can't just keep doing it" He said "I think that if something really makes you feel bad you should spit it out"

"You wouldn't understand"

"How'd you know if ya don't try me?"

Evan then got an eye contact with Dustin. And then, all of nowhere Evan stood up and walked away, leaving a puzzled yellow ranger. The sand just flied between his legs, and Dustin, then used his ninja skills and faced him, he ran as fast as he knew and stood just in front of Evan. His arms were crossed over his chest and watched Evan in a very scolding way.

"I really can't. Forgive me" Said Evan and just avoided him.

Dustin grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Dude, I'm asking you to tell me... How many people do that?"

"Well... there was this gal in the class, and Sensei Watanabe before I came to school, that boy who I think is queer and it's interested in me, and the palm tree over there asked me too..."

"C'mon" The sarcastic answer just let Dustin thirsty of more answers.

"Promise me, you won't get mad..."

"I Promise you. I cross my heart"

Dustin then crossed his chest in the part where the heart lies. It was a very cute scene for him, he looked like a child and that make Evan remember.

"I'm... I'm not who you all think I am"

"Then who you are?"

"Well...umm... have you ever heard of Stealth Ice?"

"Nope"

"Why don't we sit over there? It's going to be a long story"

Thanks for the feedback! This isn't my first fic, but is my very first to receive thumbs up! I know it might mean anything, but since I'm not a very fluid English speaker to be reiewed by other guys is just great! (I'm from Mexico, so English is not a first language here... and besides, they have started to broadcast PRNS just a couple of months ago and I wasn't into series than just a week ago),

Camfan4ever Yep, there is going to be a Shane/Cam pairing. Thanks for reviewing!

YellowCrimsonforever Thanks for the comments!
