Author's Note: Sorry to keep any of you waiting, I have been busy with other hobbies. Here is an Ishani/Dusty chapter finally. I hope you like that I am putting some of the focus on Ishani/Dusty and Rochelle/El Chupacabra and not just Shawna/Ripslinger. I think side stories are important, rather than merely putting the focus on only one character/pairing. However, in my next chapter, Shawna and Ripslinger will both be in. 333

Sorry, this is a short chapter, but I felt it was a good first Ishani x Dusty chapter.

Chapter Six: Ishani's Hero

It was in the middle of the night in Propwash Junction. Ishani and Dusty were sleeping soundly close, covered with a warm blanket to stay warm through the chilly night. Nothing but the continuous sound of crickets were being heard outside. The hangar was left open, as Ishani and Dusty loved the sound of nighttime.

That was until he got a call from Blade Ranger. This was not good. Blade only calls Dusty when there is an emergency! This also woke Ishani.

"Honey, what...what's going on?", she asked Dusty in her sleepy tone.

"I'm...not sure. I have to take to Blade. You can wait in here. I'll let you know after this call.", Dusty answered.

"Dusty! There is a building on fire in San Antonio! We need to report there NOW!", Blade said sternly.

"Oh, no! That's not good. I hope there isn't anyone in the building.

"No. There's not, fortuninately. But this is still a dangerous mission."

"Understood, Mr. Ranger!", Dusty responded, wearing his determined facial expression.

"Okay, well I'm gonna let you off now. Tell Ishani what's going on and come straight to San Antonio.

"Yes, sir!"

"Ishani! I have to get to San Antonio! ASAP!", announced Dusty to Ishani, quite firmly.

"W-What for?", Ishani asked shockenly.

"There is a big fire going on in on of the buildings! I have to get there before the fire spreads and becomes bigger!", warned Dusty.

"Can I come with you?", asked Ishani.

"I don't know, Ishani. I don't want you taking a cance on getting hurt."

"That's very sweet of you, Dusty, but I have never gotten the chance to watch you be a hero."

Dusty was shocked by Ishani's response. It made the little orange plane so happy that was looked upon as a hero.

"I guess you can come. I can't say 'no' to my Ishani." Dusty responded, looking lustfully into Ishani's eyes.

"Oh, thank you, Dusty!"

"But we have to get to San Antonio ASAP! You stay behind me!", Dusty commanding, as he and Ishani took off.

. . .

Dusty and Ishani arrived in San Antonio after 15 minutes. It was dark. The only thing that could be seen was the bright orange flame burning before them.

"I need you to stay as far away as possible!", Dusty sternly reminded Ishani.

"Okay, be careful, hon! I love you"

"CROPHOPPER!", Blade called out to Dusty.

"I'm coming!"

Ishani watched as Dusty hovered over the dangerous flames to put them out with his sprayer. He was so brave, she thought. What Dusty is doing right now very is risky, and it takes a very selfless plane. It takes a plane who is willing to put their lives at risk to save others. Blade was also impressed with his heroism. Blade stopped for a bit to admire this small plane who has become so much more than he looks to have on the outside. Yes, Dusty was small, but size didn't stop him from being a worldwide hero. And Ishani was very grateful that she had a special someone to keep her safe.

"You are doing an amazing job, Mr. Crophopper", Blade said, praising Dusty.

"Thanks, Blade", Dusty replied, as he continued to hover over the remaining flames. They were getting smaller.

After five more minutes, the flames were put out.

"Good work, Crophopper! You're really brave", Blade praised Dusty with a smile.

"Thanks, Blade", Dusty responded, returning the smile.

Dusty looks at Ishani and proceeds to roll to her. "It's okay, Ishani. San Antonio is now safe, and so are you.", he said to her softly.

Ishani snuggles against Dusty's fuselage and rests her nosecone on his wing. "Aww, I knew you could put out the fire. You're a hero. You're my hero", Ishani said to him sincerely.

"Thanks, Ishani.", Dusty responded softly, placing a gentle kiss on her nosecone.
