I know it's been very long since I've updated but better late then never right? There is one thing I've discovered when I read the previous chapter to see where I was, I make a hell of a lot mistakes. Both grammar ( especially tenses) and vocabulary. It has been a year since I've updated so I'm really hoping my English has improved.

Thanks for the reviews on my last chapter and enjoy this last chapter!

A week later, Hunter was more or less recovered and was finally allowed to do more then just walking for a couple of minutes although sparring or fighting a monster was still out of the question. He needed to take it slow and Hunter didn't really mind. A vacation was always nice although he couldn't help but worry every time Dustin went out to fight. Of course he was worried about the others too but in a different way. He was very much in love with the yellow ranger and was glad Dustin returned those feelings. He hoped it would last long but they were still young. It could be just a phase they were going through but Hunter prayed it wasn't that.

Hunter also knew Dustin was still coming to terms with their relationship so he didn't want to push him in any way. Kissing was fine but as soon as he went a bit further, Dustin stiffened up and pulled away. Hunter guessed it still had something to do with what his alter ego had nearly done. Dustin was still spooked about that although Dustin had reassured him about a million of times that it was fine and that he understood. Hunter doubted it but he wasn't pressing the subject. If Dustin wanted to talk to him about it, he would.

He was once again left in the safety of Ninja Ops while the others went to save the city again. Lothor was sending monsters daily, the one even weaker then the other so they didn't really understand why he was still bothering. Like usual, the rangers defeated him rather quickly and had the zords called before the monster had grown. They were very familiar with the routine.

This time however they were in for a surprise: the monster apparently was stronger then they had first thought since he had the power to control the zords, much to everyone's annoyance. They weren't really glad when they got thrown out of their own zords and the large zord tried to stomp them.

The five rangers were muttering angry and Hunter couldn't help but laugh although they were in serious trouble. It was a funny situation although the others probably didn't think so at the moment. Since it was obvious the rangers were clueless, Hunter sent over their tsunami cycles, hoping that they could use it or they were seriously screwed.

" Thanks, Hunter!" Shane yelled into his morpher. They started an attack at the very large monster with that while Hunter, having picked up a few things from Cam, was trying to control the zords manually. Surprisingly enough, he had them under control quickly.

" Guys, you can use the zords again." He reported.

" Hunter…" Cam growled when he got back in his zord.

" What? I was careful and it worked by the way."

" Yeah, dude. If there's one person you can trust with the computer then it's Hunter. Let's get him!" That was Dustin and Hunter couldn't help but snicker. He was still in serious trouble though. Cam didn't like him or anyone else messing with his computer. Hunter was pretty sure he hadn't messed up anything but then again, with all the programs Cam had, it was hard to tell.

The monster was finally taken care of, luckily and several second later, five streaks entered their base. Hunter quickly got out of his chair so Cam could check for damage while Dustin wrapped his arms around Hunter's waist and smiled.

" You're brilliant, you know that?" the yellow ranger said with a lovesick grin. Hunter smiled affectionately and pressed a quick kiss on his love's mouth.

" You're lucky. Everything is still there. What did you do anyway?"

" Well, the monster had control over the megazord by some kind of disk which I discovered by doing a scan. So I disabled the disk."

" Good job." Cam said. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Cam giving a compliment instead of a lecture? They were about to tease him with that but Cam wasn't stupid and held up his hand to stop the comments. " Don't get used to it. The next one who touches my computer will be running for days."

" Hey, what do you guys say about a pick nick at the beach? To celebrate that everything ended well and do some bonding. Might do us good." It was Blake who came with the suggestion and they all agreed.

" I'll prepare us some sandwiches." Cam suggested.

" What do you guys say about a chocolate cake?" Tori asked.

" How about two?" Dustin countered.

" Only if you help."

" I don't think so. Dustin isn't going anywhere near food if you want it to last until the pick nick." Shane teased his friend who punched him lightly on the shoulder, " I'll help."

" Me too." Blair said.

" What do we have to do?" Hunter asked.

" Find a nice spot on the beach and keep Dustin occupied and away from the food."

" Hey!" Dustin cut in, glaring at Cam.

" Dustin, you can't resist food."

" True." Dustin said snickering. " Do you have some blankets?"

" why?"

" For us to sit on… duh." Dustin said, rolling his eyes. They all smiled and Cam went to get the blankets Dustin requested. Hunter and Dustin left them to make the food and went to the beach. Cam would probably track them down through their morphers. The others would find them.

" I don't think Hunter will have a problem keeping Dustin occupied." Blair said with a snicker.

" Yeah, let's just hope they're descent when we get there." Cam agreed.

" We'll call them on their morphers when we leave. Gives them time to get dressed." Shane said.

Unlike what the others thought, nothing happened between the two. They kissed a bit but nothing beyond that. Both were happy enough to just enjoy their kisses. They reluctantly pulled apart when they got the call. The others would no doubt tease them when they found them making out and they didn't want to give them to satisfaction so they just cuddled together, enjoying the nice, warm sun on their skins.

Their bonding went great and they all had fun. The past could be forgotten because ahead of them lay a beautiful future. A future as a team, as lovers, as friends. Together, they would continue to battle evil while the friendship grew.

This will be my last story here for a while because I'm doing some stories in other fandoms. Take care!
