Isis Flamewing: In Shane's Karma, it was Tori's birthday. They had it at the beach. Marah and Kapri were trying to have their High School Reunion, so they went to the beach. Their was a fight. Than later they (Choobo and the Kelzaks) were stealing the rangers beach gear. I hope that cleared everything up.

Alenak: Sorry about not answering in the last chapter. Dustin was smiling because he still likes her, and well…this is the confusing part that he's going through, so…

Chapter 5: My Space Girl?

Dustin had been doing pretty good with Marah-free thoughts. He was actually just about to watch Totally Talented with the guys—well, Tori too, good thing he didn't say that out loud, that wouldn't be good. Tori was sitting next to him and than Shane was on the other side. They were in Storm Chargers. As the beginning came on they started singing Kelly came over and turned it off.

Dustin was in shock. "Hey what was that for?"

Shane and Tori also responded in shock, Shane with "I was watching that.", and Tori with "What was that for?"

Kelly looked at them in surprise, "You have to be kidding me. You don't watch this do you? This is an action sports shop. There'll be no viewing trash TV here. Sorry."

Kelly walked off as Blake and Hunter came and stood in front of the now blank TV. "Hey what's up?" Blake looked back at the TV and than at those three. "Where's Stu?"

Exasperated Shane replied, "Denied."

Hunter shrugged it off easy enough. "Oh well, I was sick of watching it anyway."

Dustin couldn't believe what Hunter had said about Stu. "You didn't just bag on Stu."

Quickly responding Hunter said, "No. I said I was sick of watching it, but not being on it." Blake and Hunter slapped each other five obviously knowing something they didn't.

"Hey what's the deal?" Shane asked.

Blake held up a poster. "They're looking for future stars. We try out next week."

Besides being rangers and riding, what did Blake and Hunter do? "What do you guys do?" Dustin asked.

"Hey, we do plenty." Blake said pointing at him and his brother.

"Yeah, but who'd want to watch it?" Shane mocked.

Tori turned to Shane, "You know Shane you have an amazing voice. You should try out.

"What about you Tor? You're a fierce dancer." Shane responded.

Dustin had to speak up—they couldn't forget about him. "Hey and me, sax master extraordinaire."

"Hey yo, yo, hold up a sec. You guys are cutting into our action here." Blake said trying to stop them.

Tori got up, "I gotta go practice. There's a jazz class at seven."

Shane followed her, "Hey hold up can I get a lift?

Hunter looked at Blake, "Oh man, this is just wrong."

Dustin got up and headed towards Kelly. "Hey Kelly, can I use the back room to practice my sax?"

Kelly looked at him, "Why?"

"Because."

"Dustin."

"Okay, see there's a contest and I'm gonna be in it. But I need to practice."

"What contest?"

After before Dustin really didn't want to tell her, but oh well. "Totally Talented."

"Dustin, you are serious."

"Hey I could go to Hollywood."

"Sure." Dustin started to leave. "Dustin, not the back room."

"Why?"

"Because people will hear it and that's not the kind of music to give the right atmosphere."

"Kel, please." He pleaded.

"Okay, look you can practice outside."

"Thanks." Dustin took off. After he got his sax he practiced in front of the store. This was good. Yeah he thought about Marah, but he wasn't dwelling on her. Everything was going well, until he was called to fight.

They had destroyed that monster and everything was well again. Dustin got dressed and brought his sax to Totally Talented. Tori, Blake, Hunter and Shane were already there. Blake and Tori were talking to these two guys. Hunter was flirting with this girl dressed up in cowboy attire—well cowgirl. Shane and Dustin were talking to some other guys when Cam walked in wearing regular clothes and a cowboy hat and carrying a guitar. Shane, Dustin and Hunter walked up to Blake and Tori.

Hunter looked at Cam's guitar, "That things not gonna summon up any ancient wooly mammoths is it?"

Cam looked up, "It might. I've been known to rock a few worlds."

"Oh. Big words little man. But don't be too upset when you come in second." Shane kissed his fingers and held it up to show 'two.'

Dustin continued, "Or third or fourth or fifth."

They laughed and than Shane said "Okay we're on." They all went over and sat down.

Stu got up and started the show. "Time for Totally Talented. Today one talented act will win the chance of a lifetime. So who's it gonna be?"

There were a lot of really good acts. Than Tori got up and danced. She was really good, but than he knew she would be.

Shane got up and sang a song.

I can reach the sky

On the wings of your love

Like a mighty eagle

Soaring high above.

Than it was Dustin's turn. He got up and played his sax. He was awesome, if he did say so himself. After Dustin Cam got up and played. He rocked, just like when they got the new zord earlier.

Hunter and Blake got up next. Blake scratched records and Hunter rapped.

Moto

Me I'm a Hunter

Me and my brother Blake

We may not look alive, but make no mistake.

He spins and scratches for my lyrical matches.

My wicked brother's technique

is hardly tongue and cheek.

We make other rappers

Look like tongue flappers

We're the moto bros we take no prisoners

We're the moto bros we got a million listeners.

We're the moto bros you can be a part too

But to be a part of the groove, you've got to moto too.

Blake and Hunter got of the stage. That was awesome.

Tori spoke up, "That was so cool. I didn't know you guys could do that."

Stu came back on stage. "And now for our final act from, well all it says is far, far away. SNA—Space Ninjas with attitudes."

Space Ninjas? That was a weird name. Than she came on. Marah. Wow. He wasn't expecting that. She and Kapri were both dressed in regular clothes with their hair straight down.

Oh listen to me baby. Oh baby don't you know.

I'm an interstellar Ninja from an evil UFO.

Let's get this party started.

I want to be your girl…

Oh don't you know our love could be out of this whole wide world.

I want to be your space girl

In your face girl

Without a trace girl

Space girl

I want to be your space girl

Yeah

In your face girl

Why don't you come on over to another galaxy

I want to be your Space girl.

Everyone started cheering. They were good. Marah was so cute in her outfit. Jeans, orange shirt with different colors on it and an orange hat laying on top of her pretty straight brown hair.

Stu went up to them. "Well I don't think there's any doubt about it. Our winners are SNA—Space Ninjas with Attitudes."

Shane looked back at the others in disbelief, "No way!"

Dustin glanced at him still not taking his eyes away from Marah. "Dude, they were pretty good."

Stu continued, "They go on to win a trip to Hollywood and future stardom. So let's give them a big round of applause."

Shane still couldn't believe it, "Okay, there's something wrong with this picture."

Tori agreed, "Really wrong. And I think I know why." Tori went up on stage and picked up a stereo hidden behind some see-through cloth. "Do you guys want to try that again…" She hit the play button. It played, "Oh listen to me baby." She stopped it. "…without the CD player?"

They all looked at Marah and Kapri. Dustin couldn't believe it—they had cheated. Kapri quickly responded, "No, no, no, no, those are our real voices."

Marah looked sheepish as she continued, "With a little enhancement."

Kapri took the defensive, "Yeah, well, hey if we can't win, nobody wins."

They both blasted Stu and stormed off. In a very cute way. Okay, Dustin, no Marah.

Stu looked upset, understandably too, "I am sick of working with amateurs. I've done Shakespeare. Where's my agent. I'm outta here."

And with that Stu walked off. Wait a minute, he was the judge, how were they suppose to win. Dustin decided to ask. "So does this mean nobody wins today?"

Cam looked over at him and smiled. "Well I don't know Dustin, I think we're all winners.

They all teased Cam about that.

Tori looked at them, "Well, that was fun. So…"

Blake looked at everyone, "How about we go and get some ice cream or something?"

Hunter and Cam nodded. Shane got up, "Well let's go. And since I was obviously going to be the winner, you can all treat me."

Dustin looked at him, "What? You? Marah and Kapri were going to win."

They looked at him. Tori said, "Dustin you do realize they cheated?"

"Yeah. Right."

Hunter jumped down off his seat, "Yeah, and Shane you were going to come in first? Yeah, after Blake and me."

"Come on guys, we were all good."

Blake nodded, and than glancing over at Tori added, "Some more than others."

They all went and had ice cream and hung out for a while. Dustin did think about Marah, but he knew that her cheating was just more proof that she wasn't good news like Blake had said. He wasn't going to let her ruin his night. All thoughts of her drifted to the back of his mind as the friends all joked.
