Ninja Storm: Ranger Form: Fire Storm

Part 16- Body Swapping (Oh Crap)

"Hey guys," Dustin called as he approached Hunter, Blake and Cam as they stood at the front counter inside Storm Chargers talking about anything and everything. Alongside him was an older gentleman.

"I want you to meet my dad. This is Hunter, Blake and Cam." He introduced to the boys.

"I'm Jake." The older man introduced himself.

"Dustin's told me everything about you guys." he smiled. The three boys dropped their smiles as Dustin leaned forward after seeing their expressions.

"Uh not everything," He whispered

"Promise" the other three relaxed visibly. Kelly walked past at that moment.

"And this is my boss Kelly," Dustin said quickly catching the red­head as she passed, and she smiled at the older man.

"Hi," she shook his hand "Can I help you with something?" She asked.

"We just dropped by to pick up some new gloves." Dustin explained.

"Dad thrashed his last pair." Jake grinned at his son.

"You guys ride together? That is so cool! Hunter exclaimed.

"I taught him everything he knows," Jake said.

"Yeah, he did." Dustin said, laughing.

"It's true." And the two turned away as the Father and Son turned away as they inspected the Motocross gloves on the other side of the room.

"Ah, a guy and his dad." Hunter sighed.

"I miss that." Blake nodded

"Yeah."

"So do I." Cam agreed, making the other two males look at him quickly and frowning.

"Somehow, high­fiving a guinea pig just isn't the same." Cam replied to his friends. Just then there came a shout from outside the store followed by a crash and seconds later Alex and Aria skated in to the store and smiled as the twins were getting a chance to hang out.

"Sorry!" She shouted over her shoulder and not paying attention to where she was going.

"Alex look out!" Kelly yelled, as she appeared beside Cam causing the three Rangers to jump at her sudden appearance. Alex turned her head quickly back to her path and screamed as she crashed into the half open box of equipment that Kelly had left on the floor when she had been filling the shelf near the TV room. The skateboard crashed into the side of the cardboard box and the
younger teen was thrown over the box and crashed onto the ground as she rolled for a bit. Thankfully enough she was wearing her protective pads and her helmet.

"Alex!" Kelly shouted, running towards her sister and pulling her to her feet as Hunter, Blake, Cam, Dustin and Jake joined them as the other customers shook their head at Alex. There were a few customers who were used to her, but others were disappointed in and mumbled about reckless behavior.

"Are you okay?" Aria said as she looked at her sister and smirked as she saw Alex's face.

"That was awesome!" Alex grinned as she shook her head, once she was safely back on her feet. The older red head and the other rangers rolled their eyes at the younger teen.

"God, Lex you're supposed to be practicing." Kelly scolded. "Not putting yourself in the hospital"

"Come on Ria." Alex said as looked at them
