Mixed feelings
The rest of the day, the Ninjas showed the Academy and the surroundings to the newcomer. They finished the tour in the beach, while Tori demonstrated her abilities on the waves.
Raine was sitting on the sand, looking to the horizon, listening to her new friends making jokes and talking.
"What are you thinking?" asked Cam while plopping beside her. The rest of the boys also sat on the sand surrounding her.
"A week ago I was a normal girl, and now…" she couldn't finish the sentence.
"Now, you're still normal" said Shane. "What happened just made you different".
"He's right" said Hunter. "You can use your new powers and help us to defeat those weirdos"
"Talk us about your training" said Dustin, smiling.
"At the Academy, we trained in horses, we used the bow and arrows, and also guns" she said.
"We don't have horses, neither bows nor arrows" said Blake.
"We will get them, don't worry" she said, smiling to the sand.
"You don't smile very often, do you?" Cam asked.
"No" she said sadly.
"You should" said Hunter. "Pretty girls must smile, don't you think Cam?"
Cam silently nodded. He couldn't identify the sensation he felt in her presence, but he was sure that Hunter felt it, too.
"I could try a joke" offered Dustin.
"No, guys, thanks, but I prefer not showing my teeth in public" she said.
"Blake, guys!" said Tori. "It's better to come back, remember that Sensei likes having dinner with all of us".
"Right and he will maybe tell us about the new training" said Cam standing up.
The seven ninjas started walking to the forest to get the Academy. They started talking about their own experiences as ninjas and the way they had to become Power Rangers, and how difficult was to control the powers.
The conversation was so funny that Raine started laughing with their friends. "Hey, you look pretty smiling" said Hunter. The rest of the friends couldn't explain this sudden interest that Hunter was showing in a girl. Even Hunter himself couldn't. The only thing he knew was the chat he will have with Cam later.
