Author's Notes: A story idea came to me and I had to write it down. It's called Dustin in Heat and I'm not sure if it's the kind of story that would appeal to the same audience as this story. Let's just say it's rated M for a reason!. If you're curious, read the warnings at the beginning of the first chapter. To get there, click on Rogue Ranger and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to see my stories. Don't worry, I won't let it interfere with my work on this story, but once I'm done with the Dustin in Heat smut… I mean, story, I want to write the story of the final Zord attack as it is referenced briefly in this chapter and how it shaped the lives of the parallel reality Power Rangers (and Tobi of course). As you may guess, it would have lots of action!
Thanks Ghostwriter for the encouragement and praise! I reread the chapter and think it came out pretty well too. Oh, and I will assume that "landed right in Cooperston" means that I arrived at my goal.
Thanks YellowPrincess for declaring Tobi your favorite character! His heart is melting like warm chocolate! And, I have included a little something toward the end of this chapter just for you. Let's see if you can spot it… (Hint: T+H)
Both of you really liked the action and want me to do more, but… this chapter goes back to more drama and humor, as this chapter serves as a sort of aftermath to the action, where everything gets sorted out. Don't worry, I will do more action again! And now, on to the story…
Previously in Parallel Realities Ninja Storm:
A monster called Mindzine is controlling the Power Rangers from this dimension, so Tobi returns to Ninja Ops in search of help, but what he thinks is Cyber Dustin turns out to be his dimension's Dustin. With the help of Sensei, who gives him a scroll, Tobi is able to escape. He then uses the scroll to free the others and have Mindzine destroy itself. But the other Power Rangers switched morpher with this dimension's ninjas and they stand no chance against the morphed rangers until Tobi creates a massive energy wave that destabilizes the hole between dimensions. Lothor appears to help defeat this dimension's ninjas and one by one they are hurled toward the dimensional hole and sent to Tobi's dimension. Tobi's sister wants him to stay with her, but he tells her he would be obligated to try and stop her so she is reluctantly forced to send him back to their dimension. Later, on the other side, Dustin's morpher overloads, using his yellow Power Ranger energy to seal the hole back to their dimension and trapping them all in Tobi's dimension...
Parallel Realities Ninja Storm: Chapter 19 (If You Love Someone, Make Them Happy)
Tobi turned from the crashing waves and cloudy blue sky where a giant glowing crack had been back down to Dustin as he lay on the sand. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked him.
"Yeah…" Dustin replied, blinking up at him. "Who are you?" He looked around at the others, scrunching up his face in confusion. "Who are you guys and where am I? And… who am I?"
Tobi wasn't the only one to gasp. Dustin had lost his memory.
"Dude, Dustin, you have to remember us," Shane told him.
"Oh, Dustin," Tori added, sadness in her voice.
Hunter just kept holding Dustin's hand while Blake looked on, still in shock.
Tobi couldn't help but wonder if this would give him and Dustin a chance at… But, no, it was a selfish thought and he let it go. He'd do everything he could to make Dustin remember who he was before… All of who he was.
Suddenly a grin curled up on Dustin's pouting face. The grin grew wider until it became a smile and the smile grew until it became… a laugh.
The others looked down at him with surprised and confused faces.
"Dude!" Dustin declared between giggles. "You should see all your faces!" He was now laughing so hard he was crying. "Oh, that was classic," he said, wiping his eyes. "I have amnesia! As if that would happen!"
"Not cool, bro," Shane told him, frowning.
"We were really worried about you," Tori added.
"Yeah, you shouldn't do that kinda stuff to us, man," Blake said.
"If you ever do that again…" Hunter started to warn, gripping Dustin's hand tightly.
"Chill," Dustin told them. "I'm just trying to like lighten the mood. Things are pretty serious right now," he said, gesturing around them.
The others didn't seem to appreciate Dustin's sense of humor, but Tobi just shook his head. It was so Dustin.
"I've looked everywhere and I can't find my father," Cam's voice said as he approached the others. He noticed everyone's expressions. "What happened?"
"Just more of Dustin's… poorly timed humor," Tori replied, allowing a smile to crack her lips.
"So, what the other Dustin and you said…" Shane began, looking from Dustin to Cam, "he can't morph ever again?"
"No," Cam replied. "This dimension will not have a yellow Wind Ninja Power Ranger from now on."
Dustin's face fell, but after crying wolf, the others were more skeptical. "So… I can't ever morph and we're like… stuck here?"
"In theory, the rest of us can morph here," Cam replied, "except I think I need to realign Tori's morpher. We'll manage somehow if we even need our Power Ranger abilities here."
Meanwhile, Dustin continued to pout.
"Dustin's the one who always wanted to be a Power Ranger," Tobi reminded the others. "He's also the only one who believed in them. Back in your dimension, they were just urban legends or something."
"TZT's right," Dustin agreed, "but I'll be okay. Who needs the yellow Power Ranger anyway?"
"Dustin, we've always needed you," Tori told him.
"Yeah, I am pretty awesome," Dustin agreed. "Or… was anyway."
"We'll sort this out later," Cam chimed in. "For now, we need to find my father. I just know he's in trouble."
"We'll help you look for him," Shane immediately offered, standing.
The others agreed to help and joined him. Meanwhile, Tobi turned to Dustin. "I'll miss the way you look in spandex," he said, "but at least you're okay."
"You said humans and kelzacks and aliens and stuff live together in peace here, like singing kumbaya and all that," Dustin suggested. "Maybe they don't need Power Rangers. The others were evil anyway. And, dude, I can still make a spandex costume. I'd be… Awesome Dude!"
Tobi laughed briefly, rolling his eyes. "Sure," he agreed. "That's you."
Hunter turned around. "Or he could go by Lame Joker…" he suggested.
"Oh, you are so dead," Dustin warned, chasing Hunter.
Hunter just laughed and used the others as human shields.
"It seems some things never change from one dimension to the next," Cam commented.
"Boys will be boys," Tori suggested with a shrug.
"Boys… That sounds about right," Cam agreed.
After a while, the group came to a populated part of the beach. "I know what you're thinking, Tori said, gesturing around, "but the kelzacks are… helping people."
The others stared at all the aliens playing alongside humans and kelzacks. Some big, ugly alien would be throwing a beach ball to a human girl in a bikini or a kelzack would be setting up an umbrella for a human family. To Tobi, this was all too familiar and, as strange as it seemed, he had actually kind of missed it. He could be around aliens and kelzacks without feeling a sense of tension. And, with his sister's friends no longer being the "Power Ranger Punks," It wasn't all in all bad to be stuck back in his dimension with… his friends.
"I think you'll like it here," he suggested. The others immediately turned to him with wide eyes. "What?" he asked. "I just mean that you guys won't have to constantly be fighting aliens all the time."
"He has a point," Tori agreed.
"Yeah, but do you want to live here?" Shane asked, gesturing around.
"Uh, maybe not," she said as Inflatron walked by wearing a tank top that read "Lifeguard."
"Don't totally blow it off yet," Dustin suggested. "I think it's kinda cool."
"If only I had the Mobile Command Center," Cam complained. "I could probably track him."
"There is a Ninja Ops in this dimension," Tori pointed out.
Cam's eyes lit up. "Of course," he realized as if he really hadn't thought of that.
"You think they'd even notice if we streaked right here?" Blake asked, watching one alien use some ability to levitate a small human child that was giggling wildly.
The others exchanged looks before deciding to wait until they were out of sight, just in case.
The waterfall portal and Ninja Ops were located in the same spots in Tobi's dimension, just as Tori had found out the last time she "visited."
When the seven entered Ninja Ops, they were greeted by the very guinea pig they had come there to look fore. Cam was so relieved that he ran right up to his tiny father. "Dad!" he declared happily.
"Ah!" Sensei screamed. "Not the fur! You're choking me!"
Cam immediately set his father down. "Sorry," he apologized.
Sensei straightened his robe and matted his fur. "It's about time you lazy humans showed up," he complained. "I saw your escape from jail on the news, but I did not see an attack on the city, so what were you doing?"
"Huh?" Dustin asked.
"It's not my father, is it?" Cam said, turning to Tobi.
"I guess they left their Sensei behind," Tobi concluded.
"What are you two babbling about?" Sensei asked in a grumpy tone.
Cam sighed. "I'll get to work on tracking down my real father," he said, starting up the computer. "You guys can… keep this one busy."
"So, who is going to give me my daily sponge bath?" Sensei asked impatiently.
"He's joking, right?" Dustin whispered.
"No, he's not," Tobi replied.
The others grimaced.
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not a cat?" Sensei complained. "I can't clean myself."
"Blake, bro," Hunter said, leaning on the shorter brother's shoulder. "I think you should take one for the team."
"Why me?" Blake replied with horror filled eyes. "I wouldn't even give you a sponge bath."
"You know you would," Hunter disagreed. "But, maybe you can get Tori to help you."
Recognition dawned in Blake's eyes. "Oh," he realized. "Tor, would you mind helping me give Sensei a bath? We could… talk."
Tori understood immediately. "Sure, why not?" she agreed. "We definitely do need to talk."
"Great!" Blake grinned before realizing that maybe he didn't want to talk about what they were going to talk about after all.
"Shall we?" Tori asked, carefully picking up the grumpy Sensei.
"I only put up with you molesting me like this because I do not appreciate being dirty," Sensei told them as he was carried off.
"I think I know what they're gonna talk about," Shane commented. "Dustin told me about the whole other Tori not being a virgin part. Or, he tried anyway." A grin spread over his face.
"What?" Dustin asked him.
"Let me see, bro," Shane began, clearing his throat and then imitating a speed talking Dustin, "'Dude! You have to like check this out! The Tori that you think is Tori isn't Tori because the isn't Tori didn't bleed. Virgins bleed and the is Tori is a virgin of course, but not evil Tori. Evil Tori is like totally the opposite. But, did you hear me, dude? Virgins bleed! Girls bleed. I don't think guys bleed. I hope not! I don't want to bleed. That would so not be cool, dude. Maybe I should just never bottom… ever. What do you think, dude? Should I bottom?"
Dustin frowned while the others laughed hysterically. "I didn't say that," he protested.
"Maybe I exaggerated a little," Shane commented. "You might not have asked me advice on you being bottom, but you did go on and on about bleeding. I could tell what you were thinking. You were going to ask if you should have chose Tobi instead, since he's a total bottom."
Tobi wasn't sure how to take that and neither was Hunter. Dustin just looked flustered.
"Tobi," Cam called, saving everyone from an awkward moment.
Tobi quickly scampered over to Cam as he stared at the other Dustin's computer screen. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Does anyone else besides Dustin use this computer?" Cam asked.
Tobi gave him a puzzled look. "No, why?"
"I see," Cam said slowly. "You should know… there are several things that I have found on here that suggest the other Dustin… that he was attracted to you."
"What!" Tobi exclaimed. "Why wouldn't he have told me then?"
"That I don't know," Cam replied, "but there's more. That was just so you wouldn't feel overwhelmed by what's next."
"What?" Tobi asked anxiously.
"Do you remember telling me that Zords were outlawed in this dimension and that not even your dimension's Dustin would violate that because of… the dangers?" Cam asked.
"Yeah… why?" Tobi replied hesitantly.
Cam typed a few keys and Zord schematics appeared on the screen. "Wha… He was working on Zords?"
"Working on and apparently completed," Cam replied, the screen changing to show a camera view of… the Zord bay. Although some were obviously unfinished, the rest were complete and Tobi felt a shiver run up his spine. How could Dustin have kept something like this a secret? "After what you told me about their not being Zords here," Cam continued, "I was hoping that the other versions of us wouldn't notice that we had Zords. Now… I think they may use them against the city… and, with Lothor's help, worse."
"But Dustin was there when Dark Specter sacrificed himself to destroy the last of the Zords by finally defeating the evil Zordon," Tobi said, still in disbelief. "He was there when my mom died. I can't believe…" He trailed off.
"Once we find my father, returning to our dimension will be our top priority," Cam said while Tobi continued to look lost in thought. "We have to stop them before it's too late."
Blake and Tori returned from bathing Sensei. The guinea pig had a slightly less grumpy look on its face and its fur was extremely puffy. "Too much shampoo," Tori whispered to Tobi when she saw the look on his face.
"So… how did it go?" Tobi decided to ask.
"As expected," she replied, frowning. "He didn't know it was me and he was thinking of me the whole time because, well, she does look just like me."
"Good point," Tobi agreed before noticing something in Tori's eyes. "There's more, isn't there?" he asked.
"I think he liked her better," she explained. "After all, she took care of his 'man needs.'"
"Man needs?" Tobi repeated.
"That's what he called it," she replied. "I told him that he can have her the moment we get back to our dimension."
"You broke up with him!" Tobi exclaimed before quickly covering his mouth.
Tori's eyes darted around nervously. "Uh, I don't know," she admitted, looking down, "but, maybe…"
"I can't help but feel partially responsible," Tobi commented. "She is my sister, after all."
Tori looked up and smiled at him. "Tobi, if there's one thing I've learned about you, it's that you're nothing like your sister."
Tobi looked down, remembering how much he had loved his sister despite everything and how a lifelong relationship was shattered so easily.
"That's a compliment," Tori reminded him.
He looked up. "Yeah," he agreed. "Thanks."
"You still care about her, don't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, I do," he replied. "I guess that doesn't make any sense, does it?"
She smiled at him. "No, I understand. Believe me, I understand."
"Thanks, Tori," he replied.
"What are sister's for?" she asked with a grin.
He grinned back at her… his sister.
A short while later, Cam managed to track down his father. "He's in the park," Cam explained. "It looks like he's alright… for now." So, the group headed over to the park. Cam suggested that the grumpy Sensei shouldn't be left alone, so Tori offered to carry him along.
"What if some crazed animal wants to eat me?" the cranky guinea pig asked from inside a pouch that Tori had strapped around her shoulder.
"Don't animals also live in harmony with each other?" Tori asked, but Sensei just grunted.
"He should be just up ahead," Cam said, looking from a device in his hand to a crowd of humans, aliens and kelzacks.
"Look!" a female voice shouted. "It's her! The one who helped the mayor defeat those evil Power Rangers!"
The group turned to see Marah and Kapri prancing up to them. They were both dressed like hippy folk singers.
"Hello again…" Marah greeted Tori.
"We're not very good with names," Kapri chimed in.
"Oh," Tori said, making a slightly disgusted face at seeing the two again. "I'm Tori and this is… my brother, Tobi."
"A pleasure to meet you," Kapri said, extending her hand to Tobi. He decided to try to shake it, but she just dangled her arm limply, her attention already lost. "And who are these handsome gentlemen?" she asked, straightening her cotton candy pink hair.
"These are my friends," Tori said, introducing the group.
"They look familiar for some reason," Marah commented.
"Uh…" Tori mumbled.
"I'm Kapri Rainbowchaser," Kapri introduced herself.
"And I'm Marah Marigold Moonbeam," Marah added, giving the group a wide, toothy grin.
"Marah," Dustin whispered, a look in his eyes like he'd seen a ghost, because, when it came down it, he had.
"That's right!" Marah declared happily, jumping a little. "You were so right, Kapri. Cute guys can remember my name."
"See! See!" Kapri replied.
Dustin blushed and he and Marah stared at each other for a lot longer than what was necessary. Both Hunter and Tobi noticed this and exchanged nervous glances.
"Anyway," Tori distracted them. "We're actually looking for someone. Perhaps you can help us find him."
"We love helping people," Kapri replied. "It's like our second favorite thing, unicorns being our first."
"Yes, I remember," Tori said, trying not to roll her eyes.
"It's not the mayor again, is it?" Marah asked. "Because he's busy tracking down those evil Power Rangers."
"They escaped you know," Kapri joined in. "Isn't that awful?"
"Yes, terrible," she agreed.
"Really horrible," Tobi added.
"But maybe you've seen a small guinea pig wearing a sensei's robe?" Tori continued.
"Oh! I found him!" Kapri declared, pointing and… dancing? "What do I win?"
"Actually," Cam interrupted. "We're looking for another one, that just happens to look exactly the same as this one."
Marah looked at the frowning Sensei and happily replied. "You must mean the Wise Wanderer from Weird World!"
"The wise…" Tori began to ask before shaking her head. "If he looks like this," she said, gesturing down to the Sensei in her bag, "then it's probably him."
"I don't know," Kapri disagreed. "The other one doesn't frown all the time."
"Bite your tongue," the grumpy Sensei demanded. "I happen to be allergic to pollen and clearly the air is filled with the stuffl." His eyes darted around. "If I become ill… Ah!" he shrieked. "It's Flora Bundacus and she's sporing pollen everywhere… and in public!"
"Just lead the way," Cam said, putting his hand over his face in exhaustion.
"Follow us!" Marah and Kapri cooed in unison, leading them toward a group of aliens, humans and kelzacks, all kneeling around… a small guinea pig in a gray robe.
Tobi's first thought was, "Oh my god, they're worshiping him!" Of course, that would just be silly.
"And, as you breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth," the guinea pig continued, "you will begin to feel one with the universe. Only then, in a deep state of meditation, will you truly find inner peace and discover your inner ninja." Sensei then opened his eyes and looked around. "That is all for now. You may go forth and practice it on your own."
As the crowd dispersed, the others approached their Sensei. "Dad?" Cam asked.
"Cameron?" Sensei said, surprised. "Rangers? I must say, I am pleased to see you, but I fear your arrival means you are trapped here as well."
"Pretty much," Cam said, sighing and picking up his father. "I'm glad to see you again… the real you."
"The real me?" his father asked.
"Ah!" the Sensei in Tori's bag cried. "It's that clone again! I thought you got rid of it." He glared at his doppelganger. "You will not eat all my mini meals again!"
While the two Sensei's became familiarized, Tobi noticed that Dustin was talking to Marah and, as a flower petal flew into her long brown hair, he instinctively reached up and brushed it away. The moment he noticed his hand movement, though, he quickly gave her a nervous smile. He kept looking her in the eyes and then looking away quickly until she turned to leave with Kapri and she cheerfully waved goodbye to him.
"He never looks at me that way," Hunter commented.
Tobi looked over, startled. He hadn't even noticed he was there, he had been so caught up in watching Dustin. He decided to approach the former yellow ranger with the lovesick puppydog eyes. Hunter followed a pace behind him. "So… you and Marah seemed to be hitting it off…" Tobi suggested slowly.
"Huh? Oh," Dustin agreed, coming out of his daze. "Yeah, she's… nice. I mean, this Marah. She's got all the good stuff from the other Marah but not all the like evil stuff."
"Yeah," Tobi mumbled.
"Dustin, do you…" Hunter began, but he seemed to find the rest of his question difficult to ask.
"He wants to know how you… feel about this Marah," Tobi suggested.
Dustin grinned and ran a hand through his hair nervously. "She's… nice."
"Yeah, you said that already," Hunter reminded him.
Dustin furrowed his brow, obviously thinking.
"Dustin," Tobi said slowly, "I think you should follow your heart."
Dustin looked at him quickly, his eyes widening.
Tobi forced a smile, but Dustin still looked confused. He then had to walk away.
Hunter ran over to Tobi. "Why'd you say that?" he asked.
"If you love him, you'll want him to be happy," Tobi replied without meeting Hunter's eyes.
Hunter was silent for a moment. "I guess I just want him to be happy… with me," he finally said.
"I know," Tobi mumbled, "but what if we end up being stuck here? What if he decides he wants to be with her. Maybe he wants kids. That's something neither of us can offer him. Maybe there's some parallel dimension out there where Dustin can get pregnant, but not this one. And… maybe he'd be more comfortable with a girl… He always says he wants to not feel so… weird."
Hunter was silent again. "I do want him to be happy," he agreed. "And, if… she makes him happy, I'll support his decision." He turned to Tobi. "Just like you supported his decision when he said he chose me."
"Right," Tobi said, gulping. He needed to excuse himself fast.
Fortunately, Hunter noticed that Tori had an unusually grim expression on her face. "What's wrong, Tor?" he asked.
"Huh?" she mumbled, handing Cam the bag from around her shoulder. "I'm sorry, I was just a little spacey."
"It's my brother, isn't it?" Hunter asked with a knowing look in his eyes.
"Yeah," she agreed, subconsciously brushing her hair aside. "We sort of… broke up."
"I see," Hunter said.
"It's not official or anything, but… it may as well be," she continued. "He likes the other me better and… I want him to be happy."
"So, you love him then?" Hunter asked.
"What?" she replied, confused. "Did I say that?"
"No," Hunter admitted, "but if you love somebody, you'll want them to be happy no matter what. Even if it hurts you."
She eyed him suspiciously. "And you know this because…?"
Hunter sighed. "I think Dustin's falling for this dimension's Marah just like he did the other one. Only… this time, I think she might be… right for him."
Tori raised her eyebrows in surprise. "I guess I never saw that coming."
"Yeah, me neither," Hunter agreed.
"Do you think Dustin loves… or… cares for this Marah?" she asked. "They only just met."
"I don't think even Dustin knows yet," Hunter replied, "but I saw the look in his eyes."
"What look is that?" Tori asked.
"A look I've seen before," he continued, "…in your eyes."
She promptly looked down, embarrassed. "Is it that obvious?"
"Pretty much," he agreed, smiling. "Look, Tor, if Blake's good at anything besides motocross, it's putting his foot in his mouth. Usually, both feet. I'm sure he said things he didn't mean. Just… give him another chance, okay?"
"Trying to keep your brother happy?" she suggested.
Hunter caught on to her accusation. "I do love my brother a lot and so I want him to be happy, but… I also want you to be happy."
"Me?" Tori asked, surprised. "Because you…?"
"Because I… I'm your friend," he replied, "And I've seen that look you get when you're around him. He makes you happy."
"He also frustrates me like crazy," she added.
He chucked. "That's Blake alright," he agreed. "But sometimes it's the ones we care about the most who have the most power to hurt us."
Tori grinned. "You sounded like Tobi for a moment there," she said.
"Yeah, he's not so bad," Hunter admitted, smiling over toward Tobi, who was holding his face over the park's fountain in an attempt to hide his tears.
Tori glanced at Tobi and then back to Hunter. "I'll give your brother one more chance, but… for you, not for him."
"For me?" he asked, surprised.
"Because I… want you to be happy," she added.
"Ah, right," Hunter replied, grinning nervously.
"Because you're such a good friend and all," she clarified.
"Of course," Hunter agreed quickly. He looked at her eyes and saw something familiar in them… a look he'd seen before, but when she looked at his brother. "You're a good friend too, Tor," he said.
Tori bit her bottom lip. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my brother needs me."
"Your brother?" Hunter asked.
"That's right," she replied, "my brother." She gave him a wink that left him extremely confused before walking over to Tobi.
Tobi saw her coming and quickly tried to compose himself.
"You don't have to try to hide it," she told him. "And I know what's wrong. Hunter told me about Dustin and Marah."
"Oh," Tobi replied dumbly.
"He also talked about wanting someone you love to be happy no matter what," she continued. "I wonder where he got that from?"
"Hey, I got it from Cam," he admitted.
"Cam? Really?" she replied, surprised.
"He's really a much more sensitive person than people think," he said.
"Actually, he's always come across as… sensitive," she pointed out.
He just shrugged.
She decided to put an arm around his shoulder. "Everything will work out," she told him. "Isn't that what you told me?"
"But I'm the reason we're stuck here," he said. "Maybe I'm the reason Dustin will be happy," he added, trying to force a smile.
"It's not your fault we're here," she told him.
"I created a shock wave that caused the dimensional hole to break down," he reminded her.
"And that was amazing," she replied. "If Lothor hadn't shown up when he did, I'm sure that, with your help, we could have turned the tables on the other Power Rangers."
"You think so?" he asked.
"I know so," she assured him. "I still don't know what you did or how you did it, but, now that we've found Sensei, maybe he can help you lean to control it. If we ever get back, I think we'll need one more ninja. Especially if we face your sister again. " She made a mildly disgusted face. "It's so hard to believe that the same dimension that brought us you also brought us… her. And, your twin no less."
Tobi's expression suddenly changed.
"What is it?" Tori asked quickly.
"I just remembered something my sister said before she threw me over here," he replied. "She said she wanted me to be happy. She really does still love me."
"But she…" Tori began.
"I know what she did," Tobi said. "I'm just saying I don't think she's all evil. I think… there's some good in her. And… I want the chance to find it." He brushed away the remaining tears from his face. "I'm going to help try to get you guys—to get us—back to the other dimension."
"Thanks, Tobi," she replied, hugging him, "but we might not be able to get back."
He looked at her with an earnestness in his eyes. "If we don't' get back, I'll be okay with that. I'll still have my sister." He gestured toward her and smiled. "But if you guys don't like it here and you can't call it home, it won't be my home any longer either."
"Tobi, you…" she began.
"You're my friends," he told her. "And… I think I have an idea how we can get back."
"You do?" she asked, surprised.
"I'll need to discuss it with Cam," he said. "And… I'll need to figure out if it's what everyone wants." He looked over toward Dustin, who was now talking to Shane. He knew he'd do anything for Dustin, but he also knew that, if the others wanted to go back, he had to help them get there. He just wished he knew what would truly make everyone happy.
