Trust (Power Rangers Ninja Storm - Hunter Bradley)

Her heart was racing. It felt like she had ran another ten miles all at once without a break. But it was all because of Hunter. The reason for her heart racing, Hunter. The reason her face felt so hot, Hunter. The reason why she felt like such a mess, Hunter. It was all because of Hunter.

It went from Gwen stressing about Peter, to her stressing about Hunter. She was questioning the things she was feeling. It was all too recognizable from her past relationship. Gwen wasn't a fan.

Walking back, she was just stressing from the the things she was feeling. She knew she liked Hunter, but she didn't want to. She didn't want to possibly go threw the pain again. It was all she could think of.

When she got back, she got dressed in better clothes, still wearing Hunter's jacket. She then walked into the base to see all the computers shutting off. "What's going on in here?" She asked.

"The systems locked up." Cam panicked as he ran to the main computer. Her, Shane, and Dustin followed. "It's totally dead."

"Yeah, but you backed it up, huh?" Shane asked.

"Well of course I did. I must have." Cam said. Realization hit, and he turned to Dustin. "Dustin, you have the backup. I gave it to you on that disc."

Dustin thought about it for a few seconds. "Oh, yeah, right. It's in my back-"

He turned around, and realized that his backpack wasn't in the room. "It's in my backpack." He muttered.

"Well where is it?" Shane asked.

"I'll be right back." Dustin panicked. He grabbed Gwen's arm and ran off with her. "I need your help?"

"With what? What did you lose?" Gwen asked.

"The disc to the Tsunami Cycles. It was in my backpack and I lost it. Help me check at Storm Chargers, please." He begged.

"Fine." She groaned.

While Dustin checked the front of the place, Gwen went into the back to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found. She walked back inside, where a random towel landed on her head. She took it off and placed it on the counter. "It's in the back. And you're making a mess." Gwen complained.

"Hello? Dustin?" Kelly questioned.

Dustin hopped back up. "Hey." He said. he was still in a panic as he tried to look for his backpack.

"You understand the concept of cleaning, don't you? Things go onto the shelf." Kelly scolded.

"Sorry. I just lost my backpack and I can't think of anything else until I find it."

"You'll find it." Gwen assured.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask. Have you seen Blake and Hunter?"

Just hearing his name made Gwen blush.

"They kinda blew me off last week and I haven't even seen them since." Dustin answered.

"Have you got a cell number?"

"Yeah. Sure, why?" He reached over the counter and grabbed a piece of paper and pen.

Gwen didn't even know the Dustin already knew the two boys. She assumed that the others also know, and she questioned why she wasn't aware of it.

"I got the money to put the regionals next week. I've got to put a 250 team like yesterday." Kelly explained.

Dustin handed Kelly the paper. He then grabbed Gwen's arm and started heading out. But he stopped, then turned to face Kelly. "Hey, what about me?" He asked.
