Previously in Parallel Realities Ninja Storm:
Tobi spars with a virtual Dustin. The next morning, he has breakfast with Cam, who theorizes that there may or may not be another Tori out there (from Tobi's dimension). Cam then changes into blue clothes to impress Tori while Tobi wears something very revealing (and yellow/gold) to impress Dustin. Later, Tobi spars with Dustin, but a monster breaks up their action. After the fight, Tobi decides to follow Dustin to Storm Chargers to help him with his work ...
Parallel Realities Ninja Storm: Chapter 6 (Revealing Revelations)
"Suck, don't blow," Dustin clarified. "And pucker your lips around it."
"I've never done this before," Tobi admitted, releasing his mouth only momentarily.
"I can tell," Dustin said with a smile, "but you're almost there."
Suddenly Tobi started coughing and gagging and spitting. "You should have warned me!" he yelled between hacking and spitting.
"That was kinda the point, dude," Dustin explained. "What did you expect?"
The things I do for love, Tobi thought as he continued to spit while still holding Dustin's limp hose.
Dustin had asked Tobi to help him use a hose to siphon some oil from the tank of a busted up bike to use in a working one. He would have much rather been giving Dustin a blow job. Then Tobi wouldn't have a mouth full of oil but instead a mouth full of—
"Come!" Dustin insisted. "Bring the hose over here. You're wasting the gas."
"What the hell is going on in here?" Hunter asked, charging his way into the back room of Storm Chargers.
"Dude, what did you think was going on in here?" Dustin asked defensively.
"It sounded like..." Hunter began, becoming flustered. "Nevermind." He stomped off, his cheeks bright red.
"What's wrong with Hunter?" Kelly asked as she walked in just as Hunter left.
"Don't know," Dustin replied.
"Who's your... friend?" Kelly asked with a suggestive grin.
"I'm Tobi," Tobi answered. "I'm Tori's—"
"Cousin," Dustin interrupted. "He's like visiting from out of town."
"Oh," Kelly replied. "Nice to meet you. Well, I'll let you two get back to... work." She then turned around and closed the door on her way out.
"Why'd you say I'm Tori's cousin?" Tobi asked.
"Because I know not everyone can handle the whole fifth dimension thing," Dustin explained.
"But you can," Tobi suggested.
"Of course, dude," Dustin replied. "I was the only one who believed in the Power Rangers before we became ones."
"I guess you're not the air head Tori said you were," Tobi commented.
Dustin looked hurt. "I come off that way a lot," he said somberly.
"You do," Tobi admitted, "but I can see though your layers." He gave Dustin a wink. "Tori also said you sometimes play dumb to avoid the truth.," he added, giving Dustin a playful hit.
Dustin stood up and took a sparing stance. "I don't know what you're talking about," he replied playfully and a little embarrassed while he fought off a weak punch from Tobi. There was definitely more to this Dustin than first glance.
"You're going easy on me, aren't you?" Tobi asked, easily dodging Dustin's kick. The virtual Dustin from last night had left him sore and bruised.
"Kelly would kill me if we trashed her store," Dustin defended, blocking another blow from Tobi.
"And before, back at Ninja Ops?" Tobi asked.
"Well..." Dustin though, leaving him open to a tackle.
Tobi fell on top of a surprised Dustin.
"You like this position, don't you TZT?" Dustin accused.
Tobi felt Dustin's chest rising and falling against his own and Dustin's hot breath on his face. "I can be the one on the bottom if you want," Tobi said, leaning forward.
Dustin rolled over until he was on top of Tobi. He put his hands over Tobi's shoulders. "I have you pinned now!" he gloated. "So left yourself open for that."
Tobi stared up at Dustin's soft brown eyes staring down at him. He could feel Dustin's hands holding him down and the weight of his body.
Dustin's cheeks were pink either from the fighting or possibly the position and the whole thing was making Tobi all hot and bothered, but getting an erection in these shorts was literally not an option and the pressure was actually starting to hurt. So, he cried, "Mercy! I give up!"
As Dustin sat back against a bike, Tobi caught his breath.
"So, Mr. Intuition who hides countless secrets," Tobi teased, "why does it seem like both Hunter and Kelly thought something was going on between us?"
"What do you mean?" Dustin asked, shifting his position.
"Don't play dumb," Tobi warned. "I know you well enough—"
"I didn't want to say anything," Dustin interrupted, "but I think your clothes make people think you're like... gay."
"Oh," Tobi replied. It was now or never, so he continued. "But I am gay."
Dustin studied Tobi for a moment, a surprised look on his face (as if he really hadn't known). "You're... gay?" he asked lamely.
"That's what I said," Tobi replied.
"Oh," Dustin said, looking down at his shoes as if they had suddenly become interesting. "That's cool. I mean...I don't care that you're gay and all."
"You don't... care?" Tobi repeated. "So, you're not...?"
"I like girls," Dustin quickly defended.
"Only girls?" Tobi asked. "What about... me? I thought we kind of hit it off."
"Are you... I mean, do you... like me like in 'like' me not just like me?" Dustin asked.
Tobi wasn't sure if he was ready to confess that he was in love, especially to a version of Dustin that he had only met recently. "I like you. Maybe we should just leave it at that," he said, adding. "but what about you?"
"I like you too," Dustin replied before catching himself. "I mean, like you, not necessarily like like you. I mean... You're fun and if I... not that I..." He became too flustered to speak.
Sheesh! And Tobi had thought dealing with a Dustin only programmed to fight had been hard. This Dustin was getting him nowhere, but he had an ace up his sleeve. Maybe Dustin just wasn't comfortable being the only gay/bi Power Ranger. "Hunter's gay... or bi. He's definitely into guys," Tobi finally blurted out.
"What?" Dustin asked, shocked. "How do you know?"
"When he grabbed me outside this store, he got boned," Tobi explained. "Then he keeps giving me funny looks and wanting to tie me up."
"Oh," was all Dustin said, still looking stunned.
"Not that I'd return his feelings," Tobi assured the gorgeous earth angel. "My heart belongs to... someone else." He looked over at Dustin, who still looked like he was having a hard time processing all the info. Maybe he was debating about whether to come out or not. Tobi discretely crossed his fingers behind his back.
"Hey, have you guys—" Tori began as she entered the back room. "Sorry. Am I interrupting something?" She looked at the two sitting on the floor, from Dustin's stunned face to Tobi's hopeful one.
"What's up, Tor?" Dustin greeted, suddenly standing as if nothing at all were going on.
"I'm just looking for Blake," Tori replied. "Have you seen him?"
"No," Dustin replied. "Ask Hunter."
"I did," Tori replied. "Well, I'll let you two get back to... work." She gave her brother a wink.
Dustin watched the door as Tori left and then looked back to Tobi. "I see what you mean, dude."
"Maybe they're sensing some sexual tension between us," Tobi suggested.
"Uh, uh," Dustin stuttered, turning bright red as he looked down toward Tobi's open legs and now fully exposed crotch.
Tobi thought he heard something snap as Dustin ran out of the room.
On the way out, he stumbled into Hunter. "He's all yours, dude!" Dustin shouted as he ran off.
Hunter turned back to the room with a puzzled look on his face until Tobi stood up and felt a draft.
"Gaaaaaah!" Hunter yelled, causing Tobi to look down.
"Ah!" Tobi gasped, realizing that the tiny gold shorts hadn't survived him getting an erection. He was now just wearing an open Hawaiian shirt and sandals. He was also still fully boned.
"You—you," Hunter managed to say. "Gah! Dustin! Ah! You! No!"
While Hunter tried to figure out how to speak, the others decided to come and investigate. Meanwhile, Tobi hid behind one of the bikes.
"What's going on?" Shane asked.
"He….he…" Hunter stuttered. "He tried to... He tried to rape Dustin."
"No I didn't!" Tobi defended against the accusing stares from the others.
"What happened?" Tori asked her brother.
"We were just playing around and... I got a little excited... if you know what I mean..." Tobi replied.
"I get the picture," Tori said, trying not to picture what was behind the bike.
"The next thing I knew," Tobi continued, "my shorts snapped off. I guess they couldn't handle the strain."
"I'll buy that," Shane agreed, looking down at the town shorts on the floor and wondering how they had stayed on Tobi was long as they had.
"Hunter, are you alright?" Tori asked, touching his shoulder.
"I'm... I'm going to go find Dustin," he replied, leaving quickly.
"Poor Hunter," Tori commented.
"Poor Hunter?" Tobi asked. "What about me? I'm over here without even so much as underwear on! Besides, what's so horribly traumatizing about seeing little—or should I say big Tobi in all its glory?" He looked down.
"Dude, I, uh, have to go," Shane mumbled before leaving.
Tori sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'll get you some pants," she said before leaving to ask Kelly if she had any old sportswear she wanted to loan out.
Once Tobi was dressed in some embarrassing pink sweatpants that Tori seemed to think was hilarious (and payback for what he did to Dustin and Hunter), the twins left to return to Ninja Ops.
On their way back, Tori took the opportunity to scold her brother. "You really should be more careful," she warned.
"It wasn't my fault," Tobi protested.
"And I suppose Cam forced you to wear those shorts?" she pointed out.
"Well, okay, yes it is kinda my fault," he admitted, "but we were really hitting it off. I think he was about to make a confession to me."
"And then he saw you naked and ran away," she added.
"Well, yeah, that was strange," he said.
"At least I don't have to worry about you taking advantage of Dustin being so trusting. He seems to know when a guy is about to exploit him." She smirked.
"I wasn't going to rape him!" Tobi defended. "I still don't know what's so scary about the Tobinator."
"The Tobin—Oh god," she said, realizing what he was referring to. "I guess it came as a shock."
"Maybe it was his burning desire that came as a shock," Tobi suggested.
Tori groaned. "I'm never going to live this down. Poor Dustin. I just hope Blake doesn't freak out over Hunter."
Tobi looked at his sister. "You really like Blake, don't you?"
"He's alright," she replied.
"I knew it!" he said. "I knew you weren't really that different from my sister back in my dimension. Really, I don't think anyone's completely opposites here."
"Yeah right," Tori said. "And Marah and Kapri are going to become good guys."
"You never know," Tobi suggested. "I mean, Dustin isn't the airhead you think he is."
"You've known him for two days and you already know him better than me?" she asked sarcastically.
"Yes!" he insisted before pondering. "I wonder if he was scared off because it gets so big."
Tori groaned.
The twins returned to Ninja Ops to find Cam busy as usual on his computer and Blake waiting patiently while holding something behind his back.
"Blake," Tori said in both relief and surprise. "Where have you been?"
"I was out training when I found these," Blake said, revealing a handful of blue flowers.
"They're beautiful," Tori gasped, taking them from him carefully. "What are they?"
"They're flowers," Blake answered, confused.
Tori stared at him for a moment. "I meant the type of flowers."
"Oh," Blake said, looking at the makeshift bouquet. "They're blue flowers. Maybe they're violets."
"Violets are... violet," Tori suggested. "Anyway, thank you Blake. You're not trying to make up for something you did today, are you?"
"Of course not!" he answered defensively. "I was just wondering if you'd want to go out to diner with me."
Tobi tried to give his sister a look that said, "He's playing you like a fool!" but she didn't seem to notice.
"I'd love to," Tori answered. "So, it's a... date?"
Blake smiled nervously. "Uh, sure. What could go wrong?"
As the two made their arrangements, Tobi walked over to see what Cam was up to. "So, how's Cyber Dustin coming along?" he asked.
Cam looked from Tori and Blake back to Tobi. "About as well as things are going with Tori, I think."
Tobi nervously glanced over at the two lovebirds. "Oh, that? That's... nothing. Just a fling," he quickly assured Cam, turning back to him. "When she's on the rebound, she'll be so desperate that—"
"On another topic," Cam interrupted, "I was looking for remains from Goldwinger, but there wasn't so much as a wing fragment left. It was a little suspicious actually."
"Oh," Tobi said, failing to hide his disappointment. "I thought you liked having me around."
Cam looked at Tobi's sad expression. "I do... sometimes," he answered. "You're like an annoying little brother. I'm just following my father's orders."
"I see," Tobi replied. "And I like you too. You're like a less cute version of my dimension's Dustin."
Cam frowned.
"I mean... not that you're not hot and all," Tobi quickly added. "I'm sure you're a total hunkmeister. Even though you're not my type, I'd still have sex with you and all, just as long as you're the bottom."
Cam looked from Tobi back to his sister and sighed, his expression becoming both flustered and very depressed.
Tobi noticed this and quickly changed the subject. "Speaking of Dustin, where is he?"
Cam gave Tobi a brief, exasperated look before turning to his computer and pressing a series of buttons to scan the area. "He's with Hunter at the track."
"Uh oh," Tobi thought outloud.
Tori must have heard the panic in her brother's voice because she walked over to him. Blake followed like a lost puppy. "What's wrong? She asked.
"I told Dustin that Hunter's gay," Tobi answered.
"You did what?" Tori asked.
"Is he really gay?" Cam asked.
Immediately, the three looked toward Blake. "What?" he said defensively. "He made me swear never to tell anyone. How did you figure out he's—Not that he'd totally gay. He likes girls. It's just that he has a huge crush on... Dustin."
"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Tobi screamed.
Once he was done, the others uncovered their ears.
"You didn't know that part?" Blake asked, worried now that he had revealed too much.
"I thought he had a crush on me," Tobi explained. "I just told Dustin about Hunter so that he wouldn't feel like he's the only gay or bi Power Ranger." He gasped. "Now I scared Dustin off with Tobi's Tower of Terror and sent him running to the open arms of Hunter!"
"I'm sure you're over reacting," Tori comforted.
Tobi actually began to cry and it was extremely embarrassing, so he ran out of the room. His failed attempt at seducing Dustin had totally backfired and possibly sent him straight into Hunter's preheated bed.
He went to the training room that he had slept in and sat on the edge of the cot. He thought about turning on the sparing program just to see the virtual Dustin again, but he knew it wouldn't help. So, why did he feel so upset? He thought about it and could only find one possible explanation: He truly was hopelessly in love with Waldo "Dustin" Brooks. He only hoped it wasn't in vain.
