Tori beamed as the crowd cheered and blushed when a few cat calls found her. Blake's facial expression darkened when he heard the whoops. Tori grinned as she began to play Ever Ever After. Lily began to sing, "Storybook endings, fairytales coming true... Deep down inside we wanna believe they still do." "And a secret is taught. It's our favorite part of the story, Let's just admit we all wanna make it to, ever ever after..." Kira sang as Shane held out his hand to Skyla, who took it with a smile. The two began to slow dance, while Dustin bent down low, as though he were a prince and Marah curtsied before letting Dustin lead her out onto the dance floor. There's someone for everyone she thought as she watched the two not-so-bright teens dance nose to nose. She couldn't help but think, Awwwwwwww how cute! (if Dustin ever found out she thought that though, she'd be dead before Marah could make a move to save her). Tori began the second verse and sang, "Start a new fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve, sometimes you reach what's real by making believe." Kira smiled as she took over singing and let her guitar hang around her neck while Tori picked up on the riff. Lily continued playing the keyboard. "Ever ever after, though the world will tell you it's not smart, ever ever after... the world can be yours if you let your heart believe in ever after..." Tori looked straight at Blake as she sang the next part of the song, "No wonder your heart feels like flying, your head feels like spinning, each happy endings a brand new beginning. Let yourself be enchanted you just might break through..." Lily glanced toward Casey as she took over, "To ever ever after... I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss... ever ever after..." After the girls finished the song, Kira leaned towards the microphone. "Thank you all for your wonderful applause! We're going to end with a song called Untouched." Tori took over the lead vocal and looked straight at Blake. "I go ooh ooh, you go ah ah lalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalaI wanna wanna wanna get get get what I want. Don't stop Give me give me give me what you got got, Cause I can't wait wait wait any more more more more, Don't even talk about the consequence, Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me, And I don't give a damn what they say, what they think think, Cause you're the only one who's on my mind, I'll never ever let you leave me. I'll try to stop time for ever, never wanna hear you say goodbye bye bye bye... I feel so untouched and I want you so much, That I just can't resist you, It's not enough to say that I miss you. I feel so untouched right now and I need you so much somehow, I can't forget you, going crazy from the moment I met you. Untouched and I need you so much." Kira watched Hunter and Kapri ignoring each other and finally spoke into the microphone, "Oh Hunter just ask her to dance!" Hunter's face went from shock, to fury, to embarassed, to shocked as he looked at Kapri, who looked as though she'd been struck by lightning. Hunter finally held out his hand and Lily smiled and rolled her eyes at how immature they were both being. Theo grinned at Cam as a quiet looking girl eyed him from the bar. Theo leaned over to Cam and whispered in his ear. Cam glanced over at the girl who blushed, adjusted her glasses, and gave a shy wave. Cam blushed as well and walked over to talk to her.
Tori smiled as she and Kira struck identical chords on their guitars. Trent let out a small whoop and Kira turned to the color of Casey's red t-shirt. Blake gave Tori a smile, and she looked down, after giving him a small grin. Theo gave Lily a high five as she jumped off stage and Casey gave her a hug. The group of rangers walked out of the club, and Blake moved to be next to Tori. "Look Tor," Blake began, realizing they were alone, "All I say is I'm sorry." "Look I don't know what came over me," Tori told him. Blake raised his eyebrows. "Or maybe I do," she shrugged looking into his eyes with a puppy dog face. "Oh stop it Tor! You think you can get me to do anything just with that look and I... okay what do you want?" he asked finally giving in with a smile. "Want to go riding?" she asked. "It's what? 10 at night?" Blake questioned her. "What? Scared your gonna be beaten by a girl?" she asked teasingly. "Oh real mature Tori," Blake told her as he raced off towards Storm Chargers, only a few feet behind Tori.
At JPK...
Casey grinned as Dustin pulled out Marah's chair for her, while Skyla and Shane sat together. while Hunter and Kapri's hands had disappeared under the table. Casey grin became wider as Lily took a seat next to him and Theo. She grabbed a piece of pizza which RJ then took from her. "Hey!" she said as she gave him a playful slap on the arm. "You ditched work today, so you have to pay," he said as he sat down beside Theo and Cam. "Don't worry, I have it covered," Trent said as he put a check on the table. "Thank you kind sir," RJ said grabbing the check and walking toward the cash register. "Anyone seen Tori and Blake?" asked Kira. "Nope. Come to think of it I haven't seen them since the club," Casey told her.
In the forest...
Tori revved the engine on her bike and raced off after Blake who had just pulled ahead of her. "Hey!" she yelled to him as he raced off towards the river. She followed, spraying him with water. "Hey!" he called back to her in a teasing voice as raced on. Tori smirked as she took an untouched trail. Within minutes, she cut Blake off and took the lead. "Whoa!" Blake exclaimed as his bike screeched to a halt. Tori skidded to a halt a few feet in front of Blake. "Ha ha! Looks like I win," she told him pulling off her helmet, revealing her sweaty, wavy hair. Blake pulled off his helmet and gave her a grin, a grin that he would only give to her. She smiled as he hopped off his bike and made his way over to her. "So..." he started. "So?" she asked a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Oh shut up!" he told her but helped her off her bike. The two sat down beside the rushing river, near where Tori and Blake had met up after the thunder brothers had "left". "Want to try to surf again?" asked Tori, breaking the silence. "Oh no, never again." "Too bad!" Tori laughed as she splashed freezing water at him. Blake's expression was one of shock at the cold and excitement at her touch on his arm. "Oh yeah?" he asked giving her a look, then splashing her back.
At JPK...
RJ had told everyone that they were welcome to stay in the loft, seeing as he had a couple of guest rooms. Kira and Lily and supposedly Tori were sharing Lily's room, Casey and Trent were bunking with Theo, Hunter, Shane, Cam, and supposedly Blake were all sleeping on the mat in the center of the loft, while Skyla, Kapri, and Marah were sharing a spare room. Although that was the game plan, the group was still hanging out and talking in the center of the loft. "How about a game of Truth or Dare?" asked Marah. "I'm up for it, what about you guys?" asked Lily. A chorus of yes's filled the room and the game began.
In the forest...
Both blue-clad teens were soaked to the bone and had finally relaxed by lying down in the soft grass. "Why didn't you talk to me when I first came?" asked Blake looking over at the blonde next to him. "I don't know," Tori responded truthfully. Blake raised his eyebrows, but Tori just chuckled. "I'm serious!" she exclaimed, "oh shut your mouth." "Make me!" Blake countered leaning in closer to her. "Fine!" Tori told him, leaning in so they were only a couple of inches apart. Blake finally couldn't resist anymore. He leaned in until his lips touched Tori's. She wasn't surprised in the least, and kissed him back, passionetely.
AT JPK...
Casey grinned as his mind filled with ideas of what he could ask Lily. "How do you really feel about me?" Casey grinned at Lily, whose grin slid off her face. "Well, um, uh... I..." Lily didn't finish, because Casey had given her a soft kiss on the lips and pulled back. "Yeah that pretty much covers it," Lily blushed, looking down. Marah looked at Dustin. "I dare you to try to skateboard!" "Excuse me?" asked Dustin, "I broke my foot last time I tried that!" "It wasn't pretty," Shane laughed. "Ok fine how about-" Marah was cut off by a beeping sound. "Let's go!" Casey called to the others, "Ready?" "Ready," chorused the rest of the rangers. "Jungle beast, spirit unleashed!" "Ninja Storm!" "Thunder Storm!" "Samurai Storm!" "Ranger Form!" "Dino thunder power up!" "White Ranger, Dino Power!" "HA!" Within seconds, the group was morphed. "I'll call Blake and Tori," Marah said as she and Kapri slipped into their ninja outfits along with Skyla (who was beginning to train in the power of air with her boyfriend).
In the forest...
Blake and Tori had gone back to having a water fight when Tori's morpher beeped. "Go for Tori," she said clearly. "Um sorry to interrupt, your little um, flirt-fest," Marah giggled. "But you guys are needed," finished Kapri, barely hiding her laughter. Blake glanced at Tori who burst into laughter. "What?" asked Blake. "Um, you have a little bit of lip gloss on your mouth," Tori told him. "Oh and that's not your fault?" Blake laughed. "Ready?" asked Tori. "You know it!" Blake told her. "Ninja Storm!" Tori shouted. "Thunder Storm!" Blake yelled. "Ranger form, ha!" both blue ninja rangers cried as they streaked off towards the rock quarry.
At the Rock Quarry...
What Tori and Blake saw took all their oxygen. Kira was lying on the ground face down, barely pushing herself up along with Lily. Casey, Theo, and Trent grunted as they lifting themselves from the ash. Hunter, Dustin, Shane, and Cam were helping Kapri, Marah, and Skyla off the ground. Blake opened his mouth to voice his concern to the powered down rangers but never got the chance. A bright explosion of fire and smoke covered the rocky battlefield. Tori ran through the smoke towards her two bestfriends. "Guys! Are you ok?" asked Tori worriedly. "Yeah were fine," Kira told her. "What happend?" Blake asked his brother. "He's back, along with..." Hunter fell forward as his eyes rolled back a little. "Whoa! Bro!" Blake stared at his brother. "Mesagog's back along with, with Lothor!" Trent managed to get out before stumbling over to the Jungle Fury rangers. "Lothor?" Tori asked, powering down, shocked and confused.
