POWER RANGERS NINJA STORM
THE HEART OF THE STORM
CHAPTER ONE
Cam was looking through his closet, trying to find something to wear
"Oh man, I need to go shopping!" when in walks his father; Sensei Watanabe
"What is wrong Cam?"
"I need to go shopping for a new set of clothes, but I don't know who to go with!"
"What about Tori?"
"That'll work, where is she?"
"Waiting for you!" Cam walks into the main part of Ninja Ops, and notices Tori stood there, she looks at Cam and he realises that he is topless
"Tori, what's wrong?"
"Just wondered if you wanted to do something? I don't have any classes and the guys are at Storm Chargers!"
"I'll go with you if you can help me shop!"
"Shop for what?" replied a curious Tori
"New clothes!"
"Why?"
"I wanna fit in!"
"With the rest of us?"
"Yeah!"
"Cam, you don't need to change what you wear, you always look good!" replied Tori, noticing that Cam is blushing "What's up?"
"You telling me I always look good, you've never told me that before!" Tori realises what she meant by that.
"Ok, I'll help you, as long as you wear it on Friday!"
"Movie night?"
"Yeah, and let's see if we can't get something better than Kindergarten Cop!"
"Yeah, I mean, does Dustin wanna torture us all?" Tori and Cam both laugh at this, and Tori realises she's checking out Cam's chest "Let me get a top on and I'll see you outside, can you give me a lift to the mall?"
"Yeah, I'll meet you outside!" replies Tori, Cam heads back to his bedroom and finds a green top he had received as a birthday present from Tori, seven weeks earlier, he smiles as he puts it on, picks up his wallet and heads out of the Academy, Tori smiles as she notices it "It suits you!"
"You should know, you got it for me!"
"I know!" replied Tori as Cam got into the van, Tori starts the engine and heads off towards Blue Bay Mall "Cam, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what's up?"
"The guys offer you every chance to go riding with them, and I go surfing, and you decide to go with me rather than them, just wondering why?"
"I like riding, but I prefer being with you, out of everyone, you take the time to talk to me more than Dustin, Shane or Hunter, even after Hunter, Blake and I saved you from Lothor, you spent more time with me!"
"Well I like your company as well!" replied Tori pulling up into the mall car park "Let's get going!"
"Ok!" replied Cam, 'Why can't I tell her? I can't just kiss her, she'll kill me, oh Tori, I love you so much, why can't I tell you' as he follows Tori clothes shopping.
After two hours of clothes shopping for Cam, who was now in one of his new outfits, the two went to the food court where Cam paid for lunch for them both.
"Cam, it's not that I don't appreciate it, but why did you have to pay for lunch?"
"Tori, you helped me pick out a new wardrobe, I had to treat you to something!" Tori smiles at the thought that there is at least one gentleman within the old Ninja Storm Rangers
"So you paid for this… at least let me buy dinner on Friday!"
"Only if it's us two, if it's everyone, then I pay some as well!"
"I guess I could agree to that!" smiled Tori
"Tori, I received some tickets to a film tonight and I wondered if you wanted to go see it with me?"
"Cameron Watanabe, are you asking me out on a date?"
"Ummm, yeah, I guess I am!" replied a blushing Cam
"Ok, you picking me up or am I picking you up?"
"How about I pick you up at 7 from your place?" he suggested
"I was only joking, I was gonna meet you!"
"Trust me, I'll meet you at your place, you'll find that even this computer genius can surprise you!"
"Cam, you always surprise me, especially with how great you look in that outfit!" Cam blushes after Tori says this
"For that, you get dinner afterwards!" replied Cam, grinning
"You have to be ready with some compliments later! Ok?"
"After dinner!"
TORI'S APARTMENT – LATER THAT NIGHT
Tori is busy trying to find an outfit to wear for the movies, when suddenly, she hears the phone ringing
"Hello?"
"Hey Tor, it's Shane!"
"Hey Shane, what's up?"
"It's Cam, he's acting all weird tonight!"
"Whaddya mean?" wondered Tori, not wanting to reveal what was gonna happened earlier today
"He's been acting weird all day, I mean, this morning he goes shopping for new clothes, and tonight, we offer to take him riding, but the dude's got plans, and when we ask him, usually, he's going somewhere with you, but tonight, he won't tell us!"
"Shane, if I could help, I would, but I have no idea what is going on!" Tori then hears a knock on the door "Listen, I've gotta go, Pizza just arrived!"
"Ok, but if you see him, find out what's going on!" ordered Shane
"Oh yes sir, later!"
"Yeah, later!" and with that, Shane and Tori both hung up, and Tori, still in her blue dressing gown, answered the door, and saw Cam standing there, dressed in a pair of black jeans, a green top and black jacket
"Shall I go once round the block so you can get dressed?" joked Cam
"Don't even joke about that Cam, apologise and you can come in!"
"I'm sorry!" he said quickly, Tori could tell he meant it.
"Come in, and explain yourself!"
"About what?" he asked, closing the door behind him, waiting in the front room as Tori walked into her bedroom
"You didn't tell the guys?"
"So, I don't talk much about my private life, and this is too special to talk to them about, and…"
"… Wait a minute, special? How?" she wondered coming out of the bedroom in her hip hugging jeans and an off the shoulder top the shows off her mid-riff.
"Today was the first time I ever asked a girl out!" Tori is surprised at Cam's confession, but is able to understand it, Tori walks up to him and gently kisses Cam on the cheek
"I'm flattered to be the girl you asked."
"Well, shall we?" he asked, offering his arm, being a gentleman
"Why thank you kind sir!" replied the blue clad blonde beauty as she allowed Cam to walk her out of her apartment complex.
"Good thing you're wearing jeans!"
"Why?" she wondered, when they step outside, Tori notice's a green bike, "Is that yours?"
"I passed my test last week!" he opens the seat and takes out an extra helmet, this one was baby-blue in color "This is for you!"
"Aww, Cam, thank you!"
