Authors note- Alright you know the disclaimer and the rating hasn't changed. Thanks to CamFan4Ever for always being the first to review, she's an awesome author, and a great friend. She keeps me posting.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this, and The Thunder and The Samurai, I promise I'll update it soon! Meanwhile enjoy this one!

Note- I decided that I'll put a different little quote, or something personal up in every authors note, or at the end of the story. Here's the first one.

Pet Peeve- It really bugs me when you're on a fan site and there's people trashing it. Why are they on that sight anyway? Are they dull enough that they have nothing better to do? For instance, there's like 3 sites dedicated only to trashing the Power Rangers. Why waste the time if you hate the show that much?

The Christmas List

By lttlelola

Chapter 4

Lists Chosen

Shane and Dustin, arrived in ops just as Cam, and Hunter came in to the observation room, Tori and Blake were already there. Blake looked up as his brother walked in, "Hey Bro. You talk to him?" Blake asked referring to what he'd told Hunter to get him to stop fighting.

Hunter glared at his brother "Yes I talked to him about it, didn't I Cam?"

Cam nodded, "Yeah he mentioned it. I told him I didn't know." Blake looked at his brother weird, Hunter only shrugged and followed Cam to where their color coded pillows were.

Sitting down, Hunter pulled his list out of his pocket, "You guys put your list in yet?" Hunter asked as Dustin and Shane sat down as well.

"No not yet. Where's Sensei?" Shane pulled his out as well.

Sensei's mobile habitat rolled into the room, " I am here Shane. Go ahead put your lists in so we can choose." Sensei nodded to the box that was in the center of the table. Waiting patiently, while the six rangers put in their lists. "Good, you folded them up. First I will tell you how we will choose the lists. I will pick up a list and think of a number between 1 and 20 for each one, the person who guesses closest with out going over, will get that list. Now lets see…" Sensei flipped over to the box, "Cam, if you would be so kind to please mix up the notes." Cam shook the box, " Thank you," sensei jumped into the box and picked up a note with his paw, and thought of a number. "Okay we'll start with Tori, then Blake, Shane, Dustin, Hunter and Cam at the end." Everybody nodded and Sensei turned to Tori, "You may guess now Tori."

Tori thought for a minute "um, 13.

"3"

"17"

"19"

"6"

"9" Cam said when it was his turn.

Sensei smiled, "The number was 11. Cam, you get the list." When Cam took the list, Hunter glanced at Cam, praying that Cam hadn't got his. Cam shook his head, saying he hadn't.

Hunter smiled then poked Cam, "You got yours, now scoot."

Cam actually laughed, "Alright, alright I'm going." When Cam got up, Hunter pounced on his pillow, laughing when Dustin moved on to his, and Shane moved so he was next to Dustin.

Sensei chuckled, " If you are quite finished playing musical chairs, we'll get on the with the choosing," sensei picked up another list, "Tori?"

Tori was ready this time, "12"

"4"

"16"

"17"

"1"

Sensei looked at Hunter, "One? Not very high, the number was 12. Tori gets the list." Sensei handed the list to Tori, who got up as well, thanks to Blake poking her. "Okay, Blake what number do you guess?" sensei asked when he'd chosen another list.

Blake thought for a second, "how about, 11.

"15"

"14"

"3"

Sensei, smiled, "The number was 17. Shane gets the list." Shane took the list and got up, rather reluctantly. He really didn't want to get off Dustin's pillow. "Okay, the next guess, Blake?"

"9"

"5"

"13"

Sensei nodded, "It was 11, Blake gets the list. Blake got up and walked over to Tori, who smiled at him. Sensei was finding it very amusing, maybe this would finally get the two together. Sensei smiled at Dustin and Hunter, "Okay next number Dustin,"

"5"

"3"

Sensei frowned at Hunter, "why isn't he guessing?" "okay, the last number was 16. Dustin gets the list. Which means Hunter, that you get the last list." Dustin took his list, and walked over to where Shane was, smiling when Hunter took his and walked over to Cam. Sensei nodded at the group, "okay, you have a week to get a present, decorate this place, and plan the party." Sensei turned and flipped onto his habitat, then looked at the group, "what are you still doing here?" and smiled when everyone either ninja streaked out, or walked back to their rooms.

Hunter followed Cam to his room, "Are you superstitious?"

Cam turned and gave Hunter, his 'why are you asking me this?' look, when he got into his room, "I don't believe in the black cat, Friday the thirteenth stuff like that, but yes, why?"

Hunter smiled, and laid back on Cam's bed. "so you'd know what would happen if you broke a tradition?"

Cam stared at hunter on his bed, "ohh, god he looks great on my bed, I wonder what he'd say if he knew the lining on my blanket is crimson?" Cam hoped his face didn't give off what he was feeling, "Yes, I know what will happen if we break a tradition." Cam paused, "Wait a minute. What tradition do you want to break?"

Hunter smirked, "The Secret Santa tradition. You show me the list you got, I'll show you the list I got. You know the 'I'll show you mine, if you show me yours,' game."

Cam raised his eyebrows, "You want me to show you the list I got, in exchange for seeing your list? Why?"

Hunter sat up, "I'm bored and I'm curious."

Cam laughed at that, "Curiosity killed the cat, you know."

"Yeah, well I'm not a cat, I'm an insect, and the cat came back." Hunter smirked, which he knew annoyed Cam. "You going to show me, your list?"

Cam, sighed and handed Hunter the list he'd got, "Knock yourself out. Literally."

Hunter smiled and handed Cam the list he'd got, "Yay! I got your list." Hunter smiled and wiggled over on cams bed when cam shooed him over. Cam sighed and sat down, Hunter hadn't moved much. "What's it say?"

Cam stared at him, "You haven't read it yet?"

"No, should I have?" hunter looked at cam innocently.

"Well, yeah, so you'd know if you got your own or not, but you didn't get yours, you got Shane's,"

"How do you know?"

"I got Dustin's. The lists are identical, take a look for your self." Cam held out the list for Hunter to take, "Who other then Shane and Dustin, think exactly alike?"

Hunter nodded "You're right they're identical. So what are we going to get them for Christmas? Each other?"

Cam smiled, mischievously, "Yep."

Hunter frowned, "I know that look. It's the same look you had on your face when Sensei broke the cement blocks, and no one other than you could do it too. You've got a plan."

Cam got up, and walked to the door, "Yeah, and, you better be out of my room when I get back." Or I won't be responsible for my actions. Cam added silently.

Hunter only smiled and laid back again. Cam just walked out of the room, "Hey! What's your plan? I'm in on this too you know." Hunter called scrambling off the bed after Cam, shutting the door behind him.

Well that's it, hope you enjoyed my Christmas story. Maybe next year I'll finish it.

GOTCHA! THERE'LL BE MORE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS OVER I PROMISE!
