" What do you mean, she's missing?" Dustin yelled at Cam later that evening.

" Dustin." Hunter placed a hand on Dustin's arm before turning to Cam. " What happened?"

" We fell asleep on the porch swing. She woke up about an hour before I did and went to make food. When I came to she was there but it wasn't her."

" Wait, what?" Tori asked, rubbing at her head, trying to piece this together.

" I woke up and someone who looked and sounded like Danni was standing in the doorway telling me to come make dinner."

" If she looked and sounded like Danni how did you tell the difference?" Blake asked, still upset from early when Tori had yelled at him.

" I love her. You can't photocopy a person well enough to get them to pass the inspection of a person who loves them."

" Hey guys." Danni called, walking into the silence that had descended. " That was very poetical Cameron. I didn't know you had it in you." Six ninjas and a guinea pig all jumped up, ready to attack at the slightest move. " Oh please. Dustin sit down before you get hurt."

" How do we know you're really Danni?" Danni rolled her eyes. Stepping over to Cam, she wrapped an arm around his neck and went to kiss him. After a few moments she pulled away, staying snuggled into his arms.

" It's her." Cam said after clearing his throat.

" Now that we have that cleared up. Lothor shouldn't be a problem for much longer." Dustin groaned.

" What did you do?" Hunter asked, turning worried eyes to his boyfriend.

" I set his spaceship on a permanent course for a galaxy far, far away where his majesty, Lothor, is wanted for trial. He should have a lot of fun with that."

" Are you serious?" Danni nodded. " That means we don't have to worry about him… for a while…"

" Only one thing." At the look everyone shot her she took a step back. " Kapri, Marah and Zurgane weren't aboard when it started its trek home."

" Um… Kapri?"

" What?" Marah's sister snapped at her, not bothering to look at the girl.

" I can't send us back to the ship. Something's wrong."

" Oh you dummy, you never were able to work this properly." Kapri shouted, snatching the device from Marah's hands. Pushing buttons Kapri sneered at her sister before pushing the button that would send them back to the ship. They all waited for a few seconds, but it didn't work. " You broke it. You had to."

" I'm sorry." Marah apologized quietly; eyes fixed on the ground. Zurgane touched her arm briefly as Kapri continued to rant and rave next to the water.

" Probably just a malfunction." Zurgane spoke softly.

" Actually," The three aliens turned at the voice that sounded behind them. " It works just fine."

" Who are you?" Kapri sneered, all of them dropping into battle mood.

" I'm Danni. I'm the one who sent Lothor on a trip home."

" This is Uncle's home." Kapri answered, speaking for all of them as usual. Danni smirked at the group.

" Your home. That would be why you can't get back on the ship. It has already left orbit. Welcome to your new home ladies and gentleman. Hope you enjoy you permanent visit to Earth." With that Danni stood up from the ledge she'd been sitting on, bowed and disappeared in a streak of light.

" I still say you shouldn't use your ranger powers."

" And what was supposed to do? Swim back from Lothor's ship?"

" Well, no-" Cam was flustered and Danni took the advantage to place a quick kiss on his lips.

" That's what I thought. Now go to sleep."

" So you were just helping Shane with his stray kid problem?" Blake asked for the fifth time that night. Rolling her eyes Tori punched him lightly in the stomach before flopping over to straddle him.

" Yes, now shut up and watch the movie."

" You're not mad at me? I was acting like a jerk." He admitted, wrapping his arms around Tori's waist.

" You were acting like a jerk… what I am doing? I should leave right now before something good ever happens again." Tori moved to get up but Blake laughed, tightening his grip on her waist rolling over so that she was on the floor and he was on top of her.

" You wouldn't leave yet, would you?" Blake grinned down at his girlfriend, the movie playing explosions in the background.

" You are so lucky my brother's at his friends house." She answered, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him down to kiss her.

" Very lucky indeed." He answered when he pulled from Tori for air.

Doyles-always- Glad you liked the chapter.

CamFan- Stop bouncing… actually on second thought, didn't I have a trampoline around here somewhere? Can I join you? LoL

Still only two reviewers… Oh well. Another chapter, late as always. But better late than never I always say. Of course someone's most likely going to say better still to be early than late shrugs

Another integration of Danni as a Power Ranger. I know I only made one reference really, maybe two, before so here's a second… or third. More Tori/Blake interaction which a few people have asked me for. As always, light on Sensei.

Bye all, have a good life.
