A week later
-----------------
Things weren't getting any better. Dustin still wasn't talking to Hunter but everyone except Hunter could see how difficult it was for him. Over the past few days, everyone had tried to talk to him but they always got the same answer: "I still love him but I need some time." No one knew what exactly was going on with Dustin. It really was affecting Hunter that he missed Dustin. That showed in his figthing. More then once the others had to cover for him. Mostly Dustin who still wanted to protect his ex-boyfriend. Hunter was always late for training and it happened more then once that they had to go search for him. Shane had once found a drunken Hunter figthing two guys. Hunter got wounded but lucky not to bad. Another time Blake had found his brother with a knife in his hand, ready to cut over his wrist. Hunter had said it was nothing but nobody believed that. From that moment every one kept a close watch on Hunter. That incident had led to many arguements between Blake and Dustin but Dustin still refused to talk to Hunter. Blake couldn't take it anymore and called Natasha.
At Storm Chargers---------------------------
Dustin was working on his bike... again. During the race something had broke down and he was trying to fix it. The few times he kicked against his bike out of frustration probably dind't help much either. He hated it to see Hunter this way but he just couldn't face him. Not yet.
" Dustin?" He heard a female voice. He turned round and saw some one standing against the wall. He vaguely recognised her.
" Natasha, right?" he asked. The girl nodded. She was indeed pretty. She had brown hair, 'till above her shoulders and brown eyes like his own. She was a little smaller then him.
"Blake sent me to talk to you." She said. Dustin rolled his eyes but remained where he was. Listening to her wouldn't hurt him.
"Look that dinner was a family dinner. My das said to bring some one so I asked Hunter.I admitt I still love him but I know he loves you, he made that pretty clear. We stayed friends though. It was stupid of him not to tell you but I swear it's the truth. I just talked to him in the store and he would do anything to make up to you even if it means making a complete idiot out of himself and that were his exact words." She finished. Dustin chuckled.
"You aren't changing your mind, are you?" she asked. Dustin shook his head. "I tried." She sighed and walked back in the store where Hunter was waiting for her.
"And?" He asked hopefull.
"No, he's stubborn. Just give him some time. Everything will work out trust me." She tried to comfort him.
"Thanks anyway." He sighed, defeated. Now he didn't know what to do anymore. If Dustin didn't listen to her, he would listen to no one. He screwed up big time. Natashe smiled encouraging at him. At that time they heard Kelly scream. Hunter turned around and noticed kelzacks causing trouble outside the store. Hunter cursed.
"Stay inside." He yelled at everyone and ran out to fight the kelzacks.
Dustin too had heard the yell and ran in the store to see what was going one. He saw Hunter fighting kelzacks. Hunter was seriously outnumbered so he quickly ran outside to help him.
"Kel, lock the door!" Dustin yelled. She nodded. She and Natasha watched as the two boys fought the kelzacks. For minutes they fought side by side but they were still outnumebered.
" Hunter, our only chance is if you go morph and call the others." He said as quiet as possible.
"Now you're talking to me." Hunte replied coldly as he dodged a kick and punched a kelzack backwards.
" Hunter!" Dustin said annoyed.
" Alright, alright but what about you?" Hunter asked.
"I don't have my morpher anymore remember. I can handle them alone for a few minutes, just hurry." Dustin answered as he tackled a kelzack. Hunter nodded and ran off. A few kelzacks were about to follow him but Dustin blocked their path and fought the kelzacks the best he could. It wasn't easy. He was getting tired. For once he wished he had his morpher. For the thenth time, he went crashing on the gound. He stood up again with great difficulty and looked at the kelzacks closing in on him. Then, finally, the others who were fully morphed arrived. Shane helped him and guided him to a nearby wall.
"Stay here." He said. Dustin nodded. Then the monster appeared. No one except Dustin noticed. The monster walked over to Shane.
"Sh..." he started but then realized it was better not to call any names. " Red ranger behind you!" He yelled instead. Shane turned around right in time to avoid a blast. He satrtd fighting the mosnter. Dustin joined the fight again and took on some kelzacks giving the others a chance to finish of the monster. The monster didn't grow anymore. They streaked off and returned in their humn forms.
" Dustin, you alright?" Tori asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little sore but it'll pass. Don't worry guys." Dustin replied.
" Dustin, what the hell were you thinking fighting without your powers like that?" Cam demanded angry. Shane laid his hand on Cam's arm.
"Relax. Even without his powers, he's a great fighter." Shande defended him. Dustin was about to say something when Natasha and Kelly ran to them.
" Dustin! You okay? I didn't know you could fight like that." Kelly said a little suspicious.
"Umm, well when I was younger I took some fighting lessons." Dustin quickly lied.
"I gotta go guys. Bye." Natsha said. Dustin smiled at her as Hunter waved.
"I'm going back inside. Come back as soon as yo rested, okay?" Kelly annoced. Dustin nodded. Hunter decided not to stick around anymore and walked away. Dustin saw it. Now was probably a good time to alk to Hunter.
"Wait!" he yelled and ran after Hunter who turned around. Dustin wrapped his arms around Hnter's neck long and deep. They heard cheering, not only from their friends but also form people who were walking by. When the kiss was over, dustin rested his for head against Hunter's who wrapped his arms around Dustin's waist.
"I'm sorry for not believing you but a few years ago there was this guy I really loved and he cheated on me with a girl so I just got some sort of a déjà-vu." Dustin told him.
"If I knew that... I would'be probably react the same as you did, I guess." Hunter smiled. Dustin returned the smile and leaned forward, kissing Hunter again.
In the shadows of Storm Chargers, 5 guys looked disgusted at the scene in front of them and decided those two should get a lesson...
