He groaned, "Great."
"Anyway," Conner laughed as he responded to the Air Ninja, "you guys have done your part. It's our turn to take over where you left off."
Zoey cut her eyes over to the Blue Ranger who kept sneaking glances at Bella. She nudged Jenna and nodded over there... both girls smirking.
"There's just one thing I don't understand," Dustin spoke up, holding Raina's hand.
"Just one?" Andy chuckled.
"What's that Dustin?" Tommy asked.
"Who rescued Sensei?" the Earth Ninja asked.
"Oh, hello. I think we can answer that for you," Marah and Kapri bounced over to the pair. They explained how when Lothor had taken a nap, they had dragged Sensei out of his lair. Everyone burst out laughing.
"What? Do you have any idea how heavy he is?" Marah exclaimed loudly.
"Yeah! Hey, Sensei, you should really cut down on the cookies with your afternoon tea!" Kapri told him.
"I will keep that in mind, now that I am returning to my normal life," Sensei replied, smiling at his nieces.
"I'm all about getting back to normal," Ethan grinned.
"Yeah, but not till we get down and dirty!" Blake told the Blue Ranger, and everyone cheered in excitement at getting to see his race.
1-2-3-4-5
The next morning finally arrived, and everyone met up at the track. They all passed Blake and Tori as the couple sat on the tailgate of a blue truck, calling out good luck to the racer.
"Hey, Bella." Zoey said, pulling her, Jenna and Tia to the side, "You still play Detonation Man, right?"
"Are you kidding." She flipped her braids, "I'm the Queen."
Tia chuckled, "She's addicted to video games. Her computer skills are only getting better." She smirked, "She got in trouble for hacking into the Academy's system."
"I didn't do anything to it." She defended, "I only wanted to see if I could."
Zoey smothered a laugh as she looked at the gathered group, "Hey, Ethan!"
Their Blue Ranger jogged over, curious, "What's up?"
"So, not to poke at a sore spot, but Bella here holds the highest Demolition Man score in Angel Grove."
"Really?" He looked impressed, "That's awesome."
"What sore spot?" Bella inquired, smiling at the boy.
"Oh, um, we held our Demolition Man tournament last week." He sighed, "I was the reigning champ and got a little cocky."
"Ouch. Didn't practice?"
"Nope. And I got creamed in the final."
"That sucks. How are you at SNSW?"
He goggled at her, "Okay, you just became the coolest girl ever."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"Tia." They looked over to see Shane come over, "You up for a rematch later?"
She smirked, "Same stakes as last time?"
"Of course."
"I'm there." He grabbed her hand and pulled her away, missing the looks all their friends had sent them.
"Did we miss something?" Hunter asked, wrapping his arms around Jenna.
"You didn't know they started seeing each other?" His girlfriend asked, looking around at their confused friends, "Seriously? It started after Ranger Week."
"Shane saw all the grief we gave the other couples in our group," Andy laughed, "and decided to keep it to himself for as long as possible."
"Oh," Dustin laughed, "that's why he's been so grouchy. He hasn't gotten much free time lately and he's been missing her." He pointed at Hunter in excitement, "After all the grief he gave us leading up to Ranger Week and now we have our leverage. Payback time, baby!"
"Oh, yeah."
The group laughed again as they gathered at the rails. Blake had gone down for his race and Tori had rejoined them.
"Just don't overdo it." Zoey pointed to the two boys, "Your girls might hurt you."
Bella chuckled, "If Tia didn't get to them first. She is, after all, a very Fiery Latina. And she owns it."
Their attention switched to Blake as the race began. They cheered on the Thunder Ninja, who tore around the track, easily passing his opponents and passing the finish line. Cheering loudly, the two teams hoisted him into the air as he held a large trophy over his head.
