Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour

9. Chubo's Destruction

Abby groaned as the sun's rays leaked through into her bedroom; thrown the open blinds on her window. Im gonna kill Kelly she though darkly, as she buried her head under her pillow. It had only been a few hours ago that she had finally fallen to sleep having been awake most of the night. She didn't have nightmares, and she wasn't doing research on herself. No; this time the reason behind her stupid insomnia was the raised levels of dosage in her Medication for her ADHD. Yes, that was right, due to the fact she had been bouncing more and more of the walls; Kelly had become concerned that her medication wasn't doing her any good therefore contacted her doctor and requested a check-up. Immediately he had agreed that the dosage was too small and needed to be raised so now she was on a higher dosage was too small and needed to be raised so now she was on a higher dosage than before and therefore had to suffer with the side effects which included - Insomnia. The inability to sleep at night.

Finally, giving up trying to go back to sleep the youngest Holloway rolled out of bed and landed on the floor with a thump; she picked herself up and trudged into the bathroom for her usual morning routine. Her body was aching from head to toe, and her eyes were starting to close ever so slowly. God help me if Lothor attacks, she mused as she turned on the shower and peeled away her pyjamas before stepping under the hot water. She sighed in content as the boiling water hit her skin and she felt it tense before relaxing. 30 minutes later, she was showered and dressed, pulling a brush through her slightly damp hair and pulling it back into a low ponytail. Now finally ready to meet the new day, she grabbed her trainers from the side of the couch and pulled them on as she hurried down the stairs from the loft and into Storm Changers.

"This is the last of the new stuff," the first voice to meet her senses as she stepped out onto the shop floor was Hunters; he and Blake had been doing great since they had gotten the jobs as stock boys at Storm Changers, her attitude towards him since his departure and return had warmed slightly, but they weren't back to the same routine they had fallen into. He was still questioning why she was so uptight with him, but she refused to answer him and Dustin and Kelly had made the point that he had upset her at some point. But he couldn't figure out when or why she would be upset.

Kelly Holloway, looked around from her place at the front counter and smiled in satisfaction at the two Bradley Brothers hard at work "You guys are doing great," she told them "Keep it up and you'll never know" and with that she turned to walk away, smiling at her sister who she spotted instantly "Good morning sunshine!" she chriped

"You're awake!" Abby murmured "I hate you!"

The red head chuckled and hugged her sister "Love you too, princess" she teased, before walking into the back room as Dustin approached Abby and the Thunder brothers.

"Dude, you look like hell!" Dustin exclaimed, his gaze landing on the sleep deprived teen beside her

Abby covered the mouth as she yawned and glared at Dustin, who gulped and backed away from her "Thanks! A girl really wants to hear that!"

"Sorry," he apologized before turning to Hunter and Blake "How's life in the work force?" he asked, high-fiving them both

"It's all good," Blake smiled, answering his friend

"Thanks, for hooking us up" Hunter said "We owe you one" and they both turned and headed for the door

"You want an easy way of paying me back?" Dustin asked, calling after them

The smiles fell from the brother's faces as they turned back to the two rangers behind them, Abby was sitting cross-legged on the front counter her head buried in her hands as Dustin grinned widely at them. moving back, Hunter dropped his voice to a whisper "If it includes Morphers and Megazors, we're still thinking about it"
