"Can anyone tell me what is wrong here" a voice screamed from across the room as two figures scurried about. The voice boomed against the walls and slammed into the two only people left in the building. The first person to have caught them had to be Shane and both of them had been so keen on keeping their relationship quiet for as long as possible. They thought that they were alone inside the Ninja Ops., but it seemed they were found out. The lights flickered above head as Shane marched forward and grabbed the blonde by the arm and swung them to face him. A wicked little smile seemed to cross his face as he blindly grabbed for the other person.
"Didn't I say I would find out why you two were acting funny" Shane said as he let the two go. A satisfied grin came over him and he looked around the room. Party streamers and other various decorations lined the computer room of the former Rangers hide out. In the middle of it all was a birthday cake and a table stacked with presents. Shane let out a laugh and looked at the un-humored brown head behind him.
"Shane you idiot you almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you were Cam for a second and we are not finished yet." Dustin breathed as he punched Shane in the arm.
"Yeah we told you we weren't up to anything because we knew if you found out you would spoil the surprise." Came the reply from Tori as she picked up the pack of napkins she had accidentally dropped when Shane busted in.
"Are you saying that I can't keep a secret?" Shane questioned as he helped Dustin with the final preparations that went around the cake.
"YES" Tori and Dustin spoke in unison. The three broke off into a laugh as they heard footsteps coming down the entrance of the hide out. Tori ran and shut off the lights while Dustin and Shane ran to find a hiding place.
Hunter and Blake were in charge of distracting Cam long enough for Tori and Dustin to set up the surprise party they had planned, what they didn't have planned was Cam's cooperation. Usually he liked to stay cramped up in the hideout. To their surprise the day had gone really well with a drive some swimming and finishing off with a bite to eat at the local fast food joint. Hunter soon became aware that something in Cam had changed in the past couple of years after defeating Lothor that he couldn't put his finger on. The once prime and proper Cam had let his hair grow out and lost his glasses in favor of contacts and the general aura around him seemed to explode with self control and confidence. Something Hunter was glad to see. Blake noticed it to as he was out and about with him that day. While the sponsorship with the factory he was with had taken him away from Cam and the other and most importantly his wife Tori he was glad that he could be here to celebrate Cameron's twenty-first birthday. As they wrapped up eating they climbed back in Hunter's car and speed off to Ops.
As the footsteps stopped in the doorway the lights flashed on and everyone screamed Happy Birthday as Cam stood there shocked. The surprise rang through the halls as everyone continued off with their own individual congratulations and cheers. Cam looked around at all the hard work that was put in to all of this and tears started to stream down his cheeks as he took it all in. He had thought that the years he had spent apart from them all that they had forgotten all about him. In truth he was the only one that stayed behind. Hunter was always off teaching at the Thunder academy and Blake had his life between motocross and his wife Tori. And Shane was away at various skate demo's after he got signed on two years ago to someone called All Skate factory. And as for Dustin he stuck around for a year teaching at the academy and then his Motocross career took off. The fact that they came to celebrate his Birthday was more than he could handle. They tears started to flow faster as everyone looked at him. They were starting to get concerned as they started to notice that the tears he was crying was because he was unhappy. "Cam what's wrong?" Shane asked as he comforted him. Cam pulled back and started to choke on his tears as he turned and ran out of the room. How am I going to tell them. Cam thought to himself as he reached the door to the outside. How am I going to tell them that I am dying?
