Title: Family Ties

Part Eleven: Night Out or In

Author: Kryptonite

Disclaimer: I don't know who this belongs to but it sure as heck ain't me. Have a nice day.

Spoilers: Kinda hard not to have them since they aren't all my original characters.

Summary: Alright, Danni's back from her little side trip. We also find out what it was that she saw. Everyone pairs up and leaves for the night, except Shane *sniff*, poor Shane. Try and see if you can guess what horror Danni witnessed when looking for her brother.

A/N: On the bottom this time... yay I updated! (Finally)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Oh... I think my eyes just burned out." Danni said, staggering into the main room of Ninja Ops.

" What happened?" Cam asked, rushing up to the tipsy girl. Danni peeked out from between her fingers.

" You don't want to know. *I* don't want to know."

" Danni it's not what it looked like." Dustin said, slamming to a halt by his sister. " Uh... can I talk to you a moment in private."

" Whatever you say big brother so long as you answer all my questions."

" Deal."

" First," Cam said, sticking his arm to impede their progress. " You tell us what you were doing in the mountains and how you got in without us seeing you."

" Long story. Can't answer the first, least not yet anyway. And I got in through a... back door of sorts."

" Backdoor? What backdoor." Tori asked, from her position on the floor. " I said backdoor of sorts. It's not really... well, it's not really there." Danni shrugged. " I can't explain it any better. And don't worry I'm the only one in the whole wide dimensions that know where it is. Now, time for some answers Waldo Brooks." With that the family duo left the room in silence.

" Did any else notice that she said 'dimensions' and not world?" Tori asked, an eyebrow quirked, arms stretching above her head.

" Yeah, I noticed that too."

" Slip of the tongue?" Blake suggested, watching Tori from the corner of his eye.

" Not so. She meant to say dimensions and it makes since. Sort of."

" Oh do tell." Shane said with mock-enthusiasm.

~~~~~

" So that's what's been going on lately. I thought you'd been-" Dustin clapped a hand over her mouth.

" I swear you finish that sentence and I'll make your headaches look like a prick of the finger." Danni rolled her eyes and nodded her head.

" Please, like I'd tell anyone. Who'd believe me? Who'd care?" Danni followed Dustin's eyes out the door. " Oh them? So what. Anyway, no more headaches so that threat's pretty much outlasted its usefulness."

" What do you mean, no more headaches?" Dustin asked, eyes narrowing as he focused on his little sister.

" They weren't meant to last forever." A cell phone started beeping. Reaching into her pocket, Danni pulled the compact little communicator out and pushed the power button.

" Hello?... Oh hey Frankie... Love to... You want Cam to come?... Give me ten minutes to ask him okay?... Alright see you later Frankie. Bye. Dustin, the guys are going to a party. Can I go?"

" You're asking me? Wait, better yet you're friends know about Cam?" Dustin asked incredously. " Jeez, they haven't even spent five minutes in my company yet."

" You know the night Cam stayed over? WE went a party the night before."

" Wait, Cam stayed out your house? As in, slept in your house? Dude, how come he isn't dead?" Hunter asked, turning to Dustin (A/N: Can anyone guess what was going on now? I'm evil.).

" Because Danni assured me that he slept on the couch and I know that she would have killed me if I had hurt so much as a hair on his head in front of her. And I've been too tired lately to do anything about it."

" So can I?" Dustin turned back to Danni.

" Sure, have at it. Just make sure you're home at a decent hour."

" I'll be in before two, that's the best I can promise." Dustin frowned but nodded consent anyway. Danni made it to the door before giving into her evil impulse. " So if I do come home early, I'm not going to find you two shaking up am I?" Danni ducked the towel that was thrown at her. She stuck her head back in the door, stuck her tongue out and then went to find Cam.

" That's a good question. Will she?" Hunter spoke, voice dripping his relaxed attitude.

" Maybe, maybe not. First, we gotta get out of here and *away* from everyone here."

" Agreed."

~~~~~

" Cam?" Cyber-Cam swung the chair around. " Never mind." Turning, Danni found Cam right behind her.

" You called?" A faint smile graced his lips.

" Yeah, Frankie just called and asked if I wanted to go to a party. Everyone wants you to come again. Wanna go?"

" Sure, just let me grab a jacket." Danni watched him walk out of the room, smiling stupidly at the fact that Cam wanted to spend more time with her.

" You should have asked me, I'm way funner than that guy." Cyber-Cam complained from his seat in front of the console.

" In somethings. But Cam's the guy I. fell in love with."

" We're doubles."

Danni snorted. " You may share the same body and face but you are far from identical."

" Ready to go?" Cam asked, stepping back into the room from where he had been listening.

" Sure." Danni stuck her hand out for Cam to take and the two walked out of Ninja Ops to go back to Danni's house to let her have a chance to change too. Cam's clothes changed as soon as he stepped out of the doorway from Ninja Ops.

" It has its uses."

" I'm sure it does."

~~~~~

" Tori?"

" Yeah?" Tori asked, looking up from where she was resting, back on the floor, legs resting against the wall.

" You wanna go see a movie or something?"

" Sure." Tori answered, grabbing his outstretched hand to pull herself up.

" Alright let's go. Bye Sensei."

" Bye Sensei. So what movie are we seeing?"

Sensei just stood where he was, watching the pairs all wander off. Shane had left a little while ago for the skate park, to get in some more practice before it got dark.

" You can come out now. They're all gone." Sensei's voice echoed into the back of the building.

" Thanks Sensei." Dustin said, voice quiet, belying his usual loud nature.

" You are most welcome Dustin."

" We'll see you tomorrow Sensei." Hunter said, hand wrapped around Dustin's and the two exited Ninja Ops quickly.

The hamster took a deep breath. " To each his own as long as it harms none."

Doyles-always- Yeah, a dead body would be a little morbid, at least for this story. I'm glad you liked the way I did the cliffhanger. Like the first part of this? I thought it would be cute.

Crazy4nc128- Thanks for the review, here's an update, as requested.

I'm starting to think only two people are allowed to review this story per chapter. And for some reason it's always Doyles-Always and someone else... Oh well, guess that's just my fate. Two reviews are better than none, right? Thanks everyone for reading and have a nice evening.
