Tomorrow will be another day

"It's better for her to rest now" said Sensei calmly. He had heard everything without being noticed. "Cam, please take Raine to her room "

Cam nodded and held Raine to help her. "Sensei, please forgive me. I should have told you before. But I couldn't. I didn't want to lose you " she begged still crying.

"I have nothing to forgive, Raine. The past belongs to the past. Now, you are living your future, and you're not alone" said Sensei.

Cam took her to her room while the rest of the rangers still could not believe what they had heard.

"Ok, now I'll bring you a glass of warm milk for you to sleep well" said Cam tenderly. "So, it is your turn to mother hen?" asked Raine still crying. "It seems so" he answered smiling at her and wiping away the tears of her cheeks with his fingers very softly.

While Cam went to the kitchen, Raine put on her pijama and waited in bed. In her mind she can still see the looks of her friends while she told them about the training she had received. "Certainly it was nothing to be proud about" she thought.

"Now drink it all" said Cam entering the room again and offering the glass. "Thanks, Cam" she said. "I shouldn't have told them the truth" Raine told him while drinking.

"Why?" asked Cam opening his almond eyes. "You said that now we are your family and my father is right, you are not alone. Not anymore"

"Do you think they will still love me after this?" she asked sadly.

"I'm sure they love you even more. All of us" said Cam looking at her eyes and sitting in front of her. "Do you want me to stay here while you sleep?"

"Please, don't let me alone. I still have nightmares" she said.

"Well, then, lay down and I will be here close to you "he said.

Raine put her head on the pillow and Cam laid down beside her.

"Good night, Raine, sweet dreams. Tomorrow will be another day" he said kissing her in the forehead.

He waited beside her until Raine finally fell asleep. He looked at her for a long time. She seemed so weak and defenseless. He could not resist the temptation of kissing her lips before falling asleep, too.

Next morning when Raine woke up, she found Cam sleeping beside her under the covers. Certainly it was the better night ever.

"So, you kept your word" she said when he opened his eyes. "Yes, I slept here beside you all night long" he answered yawning. "How did you sleep?"

"Very well" she said smiling. "And you?" she asked with real curiosity. "Very well, too" he said smiling. "Do you want to have breakfast?" he asked.

"Yes, I am a little bit hungry" she said.

So they got up and after the shower, they got dressed in their ninja training suits and walked together to the kitchen. There, Hunter and Blake were already trying to prepare breakfast.

"Good morning" said Hunter. "How are you today, Raine?"

"Fine, thanks, Hunter" she answered smiling. "It smells delicious! What are you cooking?"

"Eggs, bacon, toasts, and of course, milk and coffee" said Blake.

"Mmmmh… I'm so hungry that I could even eat that!" said Cam joking while Hunter and Blake gave him a grim look.

"Hey, Raine. I was thinking about what you said some nights ago while we were rehearsing. We really need another guitar in the band" said Hunter putting the mugs on the table.

"And? Did you accept my idea of an audition?" she asked taking a toast.

"Let's wait for the rest of the guys!" said Blake.

"Sorry. But I'm hungry, too" Raine apologized.

In that moment, Tori, Shane and Dustin entered the room and joined their friends around the table.

"Hi, Raine, hi, guys. How are you?" asked Shane. "Mmh Bacon and Eggs… my favorite breakfast!"

"Yeah, dude, I'm starving!" said Dustin.

"How do you feel today Raine?" asked Tori. "Do you feel better?"

"Yeah, it was very hard to tell you… but you needed to know the truth. I hope we can still be friends" she replied drinking her coffee.

"Raine you know that we will always be here for you, don't you?" Hunter said.

"Always, Raine, you're our sister remember? Just another Bradley" said Blake smiling to her.

"Thanks guys, I really appreciate your love. It was so strange, coming here and discover that someone cared about me, I mean, that all of you cared" she said looking at Cam.

"That's the idea. All of us care of every one" said Shane with his best leader voice.

"But now tell me what is all that about a new guitar in your band?" Cam asked

"Ah, yes, I told the boys that sometimes the sound is too plain. I think we should have another guitar" Raine explained.

"And we are thinking of an audition for this weekend. We need to find that guitar as soon as possible, because we have the chance of playing on weekends in a club here in Blue Bay" said Hunter proudly.

"Well, you don't have to look for that guitar anymore" said Cam. "I could play"

"You? Are you kidding?" said Blake. "Man, we need a good guitar player. Not an amateur!"

"Cam, can you play guitar?" asked Raine with a sudden spark in her green eyes. "I didn't know!"

"There are a lot of things about me that you still don't know" the green samurai said looking at her.

Raine couldn't answer and suddenly felt her cheeks blushing.

"Ok, samurai musician… you'll have your chance… after the training… ok?" said Hunter. "I hope you're not joking!"
