Chapter 6: Freedom Rains
Last Time:
After the show at Hayley's, everyone left besides the Dino Ranger gang and Hunter's gang. Hunter looked at Eren and Eren just turned her head to the side. The two groups just watched this with a sad look, besides Amy who was scowling at the two. Hunter walked up to her when she looked up. Their eyes met but not for long as Eren rushed to Conner's side just so she wouldn't have to be so close to him.
"Hey Hayley, I think I'm going to go now. I feel kind of tired after today. I'll see you guys tomorrow and see you at home Tommy. Night guys!" Eren said as she rushed out of the café and drove off in her jeep.
"Well, that was…um…interesting." Kira said as the group watched their family member/friend/enemy (that's Amy) rush out of the cyber café.
"Yeah, well it is getting late." Tommy said.
"Yeah, well we'll see you all tomorrow." Hayley said.
The two groups said their good-byes to each other and left while Hayley locked the café up.
Now
The Next Day
The next day, early that morning, Tommy e-mail Principal Randal letting her know that he had to go out of town because of an emergency that had happened with his uncle. When Tommy had called, Eren had already been up ready to go on her early morning training/exercise. She checked the clock in the kitchen and saw that it was only 3:45 A.M. She went up to Tommy and gave him a questioning look.
"Yo Tommy, what's up? Why are you leaving so early?" Eren asked him confused.
"Like I said earlier in my e-mail to Randal, my uncle had an accident. He's in Colorado right now, so I have to go. I'll be gone for a few days so do you and Hayley mind taking care of everything and making sure that the others don't get too use to me not being here?" Tommy said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, like that would happen, but sure. Anyways, how are you going to get to the airport?" Eren asked him."Airport Taxi" He said.
As he finished making breakfast, he ate his up and re-checked his stuff to make sure that he had everything. As Eren walked down the stairs in her sweat clothes, she heard Tommy call her. She met him at the front of the house and looked at him. He told her that he left her her breakfast on a plate in the microwave. She nodded as she went to get her belt bag so she could put her CD player in and a bottle of water. As she came down the stairs, while attaching her bottle to her belt bag, she saw Tommy already entering the airport taxi. She waved her good-bye and started on her morning jog around the their house near the museum and Reefside forest. While running, Eren was listening to Avril Lavigne's new song, My Happy Ending, thinking of her memories when she was in Blue Bay.
After about an hour of jogging around Reefside forest, she returned home and took off her belt bag, along with her head phones and CD player. She got out her pink Sketchers duffle bag and unzipped it. She got out her ruby towel and stuffed it in her bag. She refilled her pink water bottle with cold water and put it in her bag wrapped around her towel. She got out some hand wrap bandages that is used for punching and two clips so that she could keep it in tack.
Soon enough, Eren left the house and was again headed for Reefside forest. She went to a tree near the entrance of the Dino Rangers' HQ. Wrapped around one of the trees was more wrap on bandages but only this one was so she and Tommy could practice their martial arts. When she got there, she took out her bandages and started to wrap them around her hands. When she was done, she started to punch at the tree but only on the part that was wrapped.Eren punched and kicked the tree's wrapped part with force. She was nearly done when she heard a twig break. She turned around with surprising speed and got ready in a fighting stance ready to fight if necessary. She stood up straight and relaxed seeing who the person that broke the twig was. It was only Hunter, the Ninja Rangers, and Amy. She walked over to her duffle bag and got out her water bottle and took a gulp of it while squirting some of it on her face to cool herself off. She put the bottle back in her bag and took out her towel.
She turned around to face the group while wiping the sweat off her body. She noticed that they were all covered in sweat. She guessed that they were all probably out jogging or training. She removed her wraps as she saw them walk up to her. She put her bandages in her duffle bag and shouldered it. She turned around at the group again and started to talk.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you a little far from your home?" Eren asked the group icily.
"We don't have to tell the likes of you!" Amy said with a bratty voice.
"Actually, you do have to tell me because this is private property. From her all the way to Valencia Drive is private property." Eren back fired at Amy.
"Then why are you here if this is private property, Matthews." Amy glared at her thinking that she won this little battle.
"One, I live in this area and two, I live with the one who ones this property so this also belongs to me because if the owner dies, this property, meaning the one your all trespassing on will go to me." Eren said coldly.The group looked at her and then heard Amy laugh cruelly. They turned to her with questioning eyes except for one. One pair wasn't looking on with question but pure hatred.
"Why are you laughing, Johnson." She asked her rudely.
"I'm laughing because doesn't this land also go to your sisters? And since I bet it does, then that means we really aren't trespassing." Amy said laughing rudely again.This time it was Eren's turn to laugh. Her eyes were shinning with no laughter or happiness but hatred. She rudely and coldly said to her with ice in her voice something that shut her up.
"Actually, the property will only belong to me, Eren Matthews." She glared at the group before shouting at them. "It's early and I don't want to have to call the cops. Now, GET OFF MY PROPERTY!"
With that, she watched them leave and soon enough, stomped her way back home. Once she got home, she took out her stuff from her duffle bag. She washed her bottle and refilled it with water again as she put it in the fridge as she started to heat up her breakfast. She dumped her damp towel in her hamper in her bathroom as she returned her bandages in the medical cupboard in the bathroom. She got out her cargo pants and a pink t-shirt that said Space Rangers in ruby (just so you know, I got this idea from a TV show but I don't want to say it).
She went back to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After she got dressed, she put on her black Sketchers and headed down to the kitchen. She walked down to find her breakfast done heating up so she ate the food that Tommy left for her. Once she washed the dishes and brushed her teeth, she left the house, but locking it just for precaution and drove to school in her jeep.
At School
By the time she got to school, it was already 6:58. She just got to school in time to talk to her friends. As she got to the school parking lot, she parked her jeep next to Conner's car like she did everyday at the same parking lot near the school's front yard and soccer field. As she got out, she was greeted by her Conner, Ethan and a couple making out, also known as Kira and Trent. She rolled her eyes at the couple and got out of the jeep. She had Conner and Ethan help her put up the cover to her jeep (I'm talking about that thing that you put on the jeep so that it keeps out the rain and stuff so that its like a regular car) since it looked like it was going to rain.
The group went to their lockers and met outside again to talk. When they were seated, Eren told the group about what had happened this morning and about Tommy leaving for awhile. The group nodded and started to talk about anything until the bell rang. The group of friends got up from the table and started off to class. The group passed by the Blue Bay group (I'm going to call the Ninja Rangers and Amy the Blue Bay group because I'm getting tired of calling them the Ninja group and Amy) but ignored them. Once inside the class, everything acted normally except for the fact that Eren had asked Conner to switch seats with her.
After School at Hayley's Cyber Café
Eren and Trent arrived ahead of their friends at Hayley's since they had work that day. Eren had started to work at the café after she got to know the group and was glad to be able to work at such a cool hang out. The only reason why she and Trent had arrived early was because Conner had soccer practice, Ethan had computer club and Kira had to buy some groceries for her mom. Eren was suppose to be at cheerleading practice that day but had skipped out since she couldn't get out of work that day.
Eren and Trent were on break when their friends arrived. While the group talked, Eren borrowed a lap top from Hayley and typed down her after school activities. She remembered all the clubs and groups that she had joined a few days after she came to Reefside. She then remembered the reason why she borrowed the LT.Eren's Afternoon Schedule

FREE DAY!! -
After Eren typed her schedule in, she printed it out and put it in her binder. She knew that this wouldn't work out the way she planned so she didn't save it. She knew that somehow Mesagog would ruin her perfect afternoons. She sighed and laughed at herself thinking about what she just did. She returned the LT to Hayley and went back to work. After hers and Trent's shifts were up, Eren sat next to Conner on the couch while Trent went over to Kira.
Eren was finally smiling a true smile and Conner saw this. He smiled too but then remembered about what he and the others saw in Eren's memory. He looked across the room and saw the Blue Bay gang talking to one another. He glared at Hunter who turned to face him since he sensed someone glaring daggers at him.
With Hunter
Hunter thought that it was Eren since it was usually her who glared at him but this time he was wrong. The one who was glaring at him was the soccer team's captain, Conner McKnight. He was wondering why that Conner boy was glaring at him. He then looked at Eren who was actually smiling a true smile since he came to Reefside. Hunter gave a small smile at her direction until he saw her look at him. He saw her smile fade away and was replaced with a glare and a frown. He turned back to his friends and thought to himself.
-Did I really do the right thing in breaking up with her?-
With the Dinos
Eren turned from Hunter as soon as she saw him turn back to his group. She stood up and said that she would go since she wanted to surfing for awhile. Conner stood up with her saying that Eren promised him a lesson, which she did. Conner drove home while Eren went home to change into her swim wear and get her board.
With Conner and Eren
When Conner was done, he left his house to pick Eren up. He saw her come out with a pink duffle bag and one surfboard. When he parked his car in front of the house, he helped Eren by helping her strap the board to the his car's roof. Once they were done, Conner drove to the beach which was luckily not full. Eren showed Conner the basics on how to get on the board and on a surf. She than showed him and then pulled him into the water. She helped him get on the board and let him try surfing on his own on the small waves. She was clapping and hooting as he successfully caught a wave. After a few more tries, Eren went up to a board shack so she could rent a board for Conner. She paid for the rented board and ran out to Conner.
She had borrowed a long board like hers, only it was red with soccer designs. Eren's long board was kind of like Tori's only more personalized. Eren's board was made by Roxy and that there was pink and ruby flame designs as well as Roxy's trade mark and Hawaiian flowers. After a few hours of surfing, Eren returned the board and watched as Conner suffered one last time. As he came back to the shore, a bunch of Tyrannodrones appeared out of no where. The two got ready to fight and attacked when the Tyrannodrones circled them. Together the two fought but got tired quickly so they morphed/"Dino Thunder, Power Up!"
"Pink Lightning, Dino Up!"
"Ha!" the two of them said together.
