Summary: Under normal situations, Chip and Dustin would have never met. When you are a Power Ranger or will become one, normal situations do not apply.
Disclaimer: I would love to own Dustin and Chip but I don’t. ::Goes and cries in a corner.::
Timeline: This takes place a year before Mystic Force and will run into Mystic Force.

Chip Thorn was bored.

His friends were busy. V and Maddie got dragged into family night. Xander was on his third date this week. He had no clue if it was the same girl. Knowing Xander, it probably wasn’t. He couldn’t shoot his bow because it was raining. He was really excited to test out his new bow, too. On the same note, he couldn’t go to the park and play chess with those nice guys from the retirement home. He played all of his videogames a million times. Well, at least, it felt that way. None of his comic books could hold his attention. He already finished reading Chain Fire and reading something else didn’t appeal to him. All of his homework was finished. He tried drawing for a while but his drawings look like a blob ate it.

None of his favorite shows were on. He built a fort out of boxes until his mom chased him out. He fixed his cape because it had a hole in it. He even cleaned his room which he found his superman cape, an arm to one of his knight and a half eaten cookie.

Chip Thorn was so bored that he could scream. That moment a thought pop into his head. He could check his email. Maybe, the coach answered his email about the finals. Maybe, someone answer his message on the board about catapults. He really wanted to know what he was doing wrong on his catapult. There was online chess and videogames. Those thoughts made him very happy. Most of all, it gave him something to do.

He started up his computer and grabbed some snacks from the kitchen. Once online, he found out that his coach didn’t answer his email yet. He found on what he is missing on his catapult. He browses the internet for time until he checks one of his favorite sites.

It was powerrangers.com, the largest database on power rangers in the world. The site had everything on power rangers, zords, locations where power rangers were spotted, and weapons. The message board was hilarious. Some of the discussions were interesting and others made even him scratch his head.

A name seems to have got his eye.

He moved his mouse and click on a name.

FreestyleDustin

*****************

Dustin Brooks was bored.

His classes were done for the day. He already knew what he was going to do with his students tomorrow. He couldn’t go home until the weekend. He couldn’t play his videogames or read his comics until the weekend. Marah and Kapri were on some girl night only thing. Tori and Blake were on a date. Shane was at the skate park. Hunter was off with his students on a camping trip. Kelly was on vacation and the track was getting remodeled. He wasn’t about to go and talk to Sensei. He may be bored but he wasn’t that stupid. Sensei would probably make him do chores or something like that. He drove along the back trails around the school for an hour or so. It just isn’t as excited without his friends.

He was so bored. He wished he could bam his head against something hard. He just wanted the boredom to go away. Wait a minute, Cam was still here. He could hang out with him. Well, at least until Cam decide to chase him off. He made his way to Ninja Ops, where he found Cam typing at his computer.

“Hey, Cam, what are you doing?” Dustin said.

“I am working on a new security system for Ninja Ops. What are you doing, Dustin?” Cam said.

“Uhh…Hmmm.” Dustin said.

“You are bored, aren’t you, Dustin?” Cam said without looking away from the computer.

“You have no idea, dude. Everyone has gone and left me. I am just by myself. There is nothing to do and don’t you go tell sensei either. He would make me do something.” Dustin said.

“If you don’t tell my father that I was supposes to be outside practicing instead of working. I believe we have a deal. There is an old laptop in the cabinet. You cannot play games on it but you can connect to the internet. As long as you don’t try to crash this one, I will let you use it.” Cam said.

“Thank, man.” Dustin said as he open up the cabinet and grabs the laptop.

“Dustin?” Cam said.

“Yes…” Dustin said as he sets up the laptop.

“Don’t open email you don’t know who is from.” Cam said.

“I got it, Cam.” Dustin said as he turns on the laptop.

“Don’t install any software without my permission.” Cam said.

“Sure thing, dude.” Dustin said.

“Don’t mess with ANY of the settings on the computer.” Cam said as he turned to look at Dustin.

“Hey, I only did that once!” Dustin said.

“Dustin, it took me three days to figure out what you did.” Cam said.

“Fine, dude. I was just trying to make the picture brighter.” Dustin said.

“Dustin…” Cam said.

“Fine! Fine! The only thing I will look at is motocross and freestyle stuff. Okay!” Dustin said.

“Good.” Cam said as he turned back to his work.

Once Dustin was the internet, he was off. He thought it was nice founding out about his favorite racers were up too. He checked stats on 125 and 250s circuits. He looked up all of the latest comic books and videogames news.

Now, he was off to one of his favorite sites, powerrangers.com. He was a power ranger fan long before he became a power ranger. He is surprised that they haven’t been a new team of power rangers in awhile. Who said it? Maybe, it was Cam, or Shane. When there is evil about, the team of power rangers ready to fight it. Maybe, he should be glad that there isn’t any evil to fight. It is still quite strange reading about him on the message board. Some of the stuff people said about him made him turn red. He liked the people and it is great to around people who like your interests. His friends were great but sometimes, they just didn’t understand.

A name caught his eye. He didn’t know why but he just decided to click it.

SuperChip.

End of Part One

A/N: Haha! The madness begins! Run away! Run away! I have been promising a Dustin/Chip friendship story. Well, it is here. I have some clues where this story is heading but I would love more ideas. So, read and review if you wish.

P.S: Arrow, you will not be too mad at me if I ask you to beta this story too?

[Kaheraji]

Oh, I like where this is headed.

[jaguarranger]

I have a hard time buying the idea that there's a site keeping tabs on all former Power Rangers, but other than that nice job.

[LadyZaria]

I have a hard time buying the idea that there's a site keeping tabs on all former Power Rangers, but other than that nice job.

I had to found common ground for both characters. I don't seen Chip at the track or Dustin at an archery range. But thanks everyone for the feed back.
Soon as I come back from vacation...I bring cookies and chapter 2.

LadyZ

[Miss Wicked]

This looks like it's going to be good. I can't wait for more.

[Kaheraji]

Soon as I come back from vacation...I bring cookies and chapter 2.

Just so you know, I'm expecting them in that order.

[WILDKAT]

I like where this is heading. more please!

[Arrow]

P.S: Arrow, you will not be too mad at me if I ask you to beta this story too?

Go right ahead; I'll happy to beta anything you want. And I'm sorry I couldn't get to the last chapter of TBToO before you posted it; I got seriously busy inadvertedly those two weeks.

See Through Skies: Comparing Names
By: M14Mouse
Disclaimer: Don’t own them…I am sad now.

“What in the world is Dustin doing?” Tori said as she watched Dustin laughing at the computer screen.

“He is talking to his new friend. His name is Charlie Thorn. He is sixteen years old. He lives in Brairwood and goes to the local high school. He recently joined the archery team there.” Cam said as he appeared behind Tori.

“Cam, you sound like a stalker.” Tori said.

“I am not a stalking him. I am merely checking the background of his new friend. Dustin is too trusting. I don’t want some forty year old man or alien from outer space stalking Dustin.” Cam said.

“Dustin is old enough to take care of himself, Cam.” Tori said.

“Does Marah ring a bell to you?” Cam said.

“That is a good point, Cam. But Marah has been good for years.” Tori said.

“How about the man from the shop?” Cam said.

“Well…” Tori said.

“Or the girl from Dustin’s high school?” Cam said.

“Oh, I forgot about that.” Tori said.

“That is my point.” Cam said.

“You are a good friend even if you are stalking him, Cam.” Tori said as Cam shot her a look.

“Not a word to Dustin, Tori.” Cam said.

“I promise…I suppose. I wonder what they are talking.” Tori said as she watched Dustin for a moment.

“Do you really want know?” Cam said as he left.

“Uhh…I don’t think so.” Tori said as she followed.

Dustin was completely involved what he was doing as he happily typed on the keyboard.

SuperChip: Waldo? What made your parents choose that name?

FreestyleDustin: I have no clue, dude. My parents told me two different stories. My mom said it was my great something or other grandpa’s name. My dad said he saw a Where’s Waldo book in the waiting room. He thought Waldo would be a prefect name for me. I was always hiding from the sonar graph machine. I am ready to believe my mom’s story. To think I was named after a dude in a red and white sweater who worse at picks out in clothes than me. Uhh…no.

SuperChip: lol. I still don’t see how Dustin came out of Waldo.

FreestyleDustin: My grandpa gave me the name. Once he heard what my parents were going to call me…dude, these were his words according to grandma. “You named my grandson that! What is with you young people? Naming these kids such odd names? Do you want to scar the kid for life? Do you know how high school is like for kids with that sort of name? Now, let me see my grand kid.” He took one look at me and said that boy is a Dustin. It turns out that Dustin is the name of grandpa’s old poker buddies. So, my family is terrible naming stuff.

SuperChip: lol. Your granddad sounds cool.

FreestyleDustin: He is the best. He got me into racing.

SuperChip: I thought you were into freestyle, Dustin.

FreestyleDustin: I was into 125s but I change to Freestyle. Now, stop avoiding it. Where did Chip come from? Chip and Charlie has nothing in common. Well, expect maybe, the C…and H. Never mind, dude. Just tell me.

SuperChip: lol. Charlie was my uncle’s name that passed away. Chip came from the fact that I have way to much energy. My mom can go on for hours on stories about me. My favorites are the ones when I was a toddler. I must have hated the crib because I kept breaking out of it. She tried everything to keep me in there. She has the pictures to prove it. One time, my uncle and my mom were painting the living room and I broke out again. The following morning, my uncle found me covered in paint. There was paint everywhere. It was on the carpet, the shelves, the fireplace, books, and you name it. But that is nothing…once I discover how to open doors and use the toaster.

FreestyleDustin: lol. Chip is the amazing escape artist. Dude, you should have seen me when I discovered the microwave. Shopping for food was murder for my mom. It wasn’t my fault that they made the marshmallows so real on the posters.

SuperChip: I can beat that. I found a way to shut down all of the cash registers once.

FreestyleDustin: How did you manage that?

SuperChip: I found the off switch.

FreestyleDustin: lol. I think I can top that, dude. I dismantled a coffee table and a sofa to build a fort.

SuperChip: That is easy. I built a fort out of two tables, a sofa, a coat rack, and a bed sheet. My uncle is still finding the parts to the sofa.

FreestyleDustin: Wow…okay, I crashed three computes in one year. One computer I mess up the settings so bad that it took three days for my friend could fix it. Me and computers don’t get along.

SuperChip: I can see that. Then if you are so bad at computers…why hasn’t this one blow up or crash?

FreestyleDustin: I am not bored and I am talking to you. What are you saying that I blow things and do damage to stuff when I am bored?

SuperChip: :)

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that is evil. ::hits him with a pillow.:: You are just as bad.

SuperChip: ::ducks from the pillow.:: I am not going to deny it.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I just don't like being bored.

SuperChip: I cannot agree with you more. Shoot, it is V and Maddie. I have to go, Dustin. Seeya soon.

FreestyleDustin: Seeya soon, Chip.

SuperChip signed off at 6:13 p.m.

End of Part 2

A/N: So much feedback...I love it. You get cookies! Arrow, if you see any major mistakes, just PM me. I hope your computer problems fix soon.

[WILDKAT]

ooo...I like it!! More Please!

See Through Skies: Your Friends are My Friends…Even If They Are Weird
By: M14Mouse
Disclaimer: Don’t own them

“V, where is your latest track you made?” Chip said as he dug into the box in Vida’s closet.

“It isn’t in there. I got rid of it. The whole thing just sounded wrong.” Vida said as she hooked up her equipment.

“I liked it. I was going to let Dustin hear it.” Chip said with a frown. He pushed the box back into the closet.

“Dustin? Who is Dustin?” Vida asked.

“Oh, he is a friend that I met online. He is really cool. He likes videogames, comic books, and power rangers. He did say that he raced in 125s before he switch over to freestyle. He sent me this site that explains everything. I have a few questions on things I didn’t understand. You should have seen the pictures of the stunts they do. Wow! I wonder how high they go. I bet it hurts when they crash. Maybe, Dustin could teach me.” Chip said with a thought.

“Chip, you aren’t tried to jump off the roof again? How do you do you even know if this Dustin person is telling the truth?” Vida said.

“Hey, Ghost Rider did it. Why could cannot I? Beside, it looks fun and you look like you are flying. Of course, he is telling the truth. I believe him.” Chip said as he folded his arms across his chest.

“Fine…as long as I don’t have to save you and drive you to the hospital…again.” Vida said with a smile.

“I will be perfectly fine, V. There is nothing to worry about. You know that you are my best friend and the best dj in the world. I would love for you to make another track for me to share with Dustin…Please?” Chip said as he crawled over to Vida and gave her a puppy dog look.

“Fine, I am sure I can make you another track.” Vida said as she laughed.

“YAY!” Chip said.

Few hours later….

SuperChip: Hey Dustin. How did you like the track that I sent you?

FreestyleDustin: It was great! It was so funny with the looks that Shane kept giving me. It isn’t the type of music that I normally listen too, dude. He kept asking if I download the wrong song.

SuperChip: lol. Shane is the other racer, right?

FreestyleDustin: Nope, Shane is a skateboarder. He knows how to drive a bike but I wouldn’t let him race. Sad thing is that he doesn’t get to do much anymore with teaching and stuff.

SuperChip: What does he teach?

FreestyleDustin: Uhh….He teaches skate boarding to kids at the park.

SuperChip: That is nice of him. Xander likes to skateboard. I think he does it to attract girls.

FreestyleDustin: That sounds like Hunter. Once, he dressed in black to impress at girl at Hot Topic. Hunter looks so creepy in black. It reminds me of the time he was evil.

SuperChip: Hunter was evil?

FreestyleDustin: He was…uh…evil like, dude. When he and his brother first moved here, we didn’t get along very well. Some stuff happened and we are friends now.

SuperChip: That sound like what happened with us and Xander. He made fun of us before something happened. He would kill me if I told you. The only thing I can say is that he is terrible at truth and dare and science projects.

FreestyleDustin: Ahh…come on. I bet it is a great story.

SuperChip: It is but I am not telling. He made me promise on a superhero’s oath. That oath is unbreakable.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that is so unfair. A superhero’s oath should be used only in emergencies.

SuperChip: I know…I know…I am just glad V doesn’t know about it. I wouldn’t have made it out of middle school if she did.

FreestyleDustin: I don’t know if Tori would have done it. She may do it once. She likes to keep me on my toes. She likes to drag me to go shopping for bath suits but she always takes me to the comic book store later. Blake doesn’t even go shopping with her and he is her boyfriend. The guys make fun about it. I think it is because we have done this for so long together that we just do it. I complain and she still drags me to the store. At least, she isn’t into clothing like Marah and Kapri. But dude, what do I know about bath suits? Beside, they look different on different girls. Some show a lot of skin and some don’t. They fit differently in different places. Uhh…this isn’t where I want the conversation to go.

SuperChip: lol. Vida did the same thing to me. Vida drag me to Hot Topic once to help her pick out a new color for her hair. Of course, she didn’t say that we were going to Hot Topic. I have never been into Hot Topic before. First time, it just scared me.

FreestyleDustin: Hot Topic is great. At least, their shirts are great.

SuperChip: The first time I really didn’t have a chance to look at the shirts. I was more looking at the dark room that looks like a cave. The people wore white make up, piecing, and tattoos. They remind me of zombies. Of course, the music is what scared me. It was so creepy and loud. It made my nose bleed.

FreestyleDustin: lol.

SuperChip: That isn’t funny. I had to run to the bath before I bleed over my shirt. V had to drag me out off the bathroom. She felt sorry for me and brought me a comic book. The last time wasn’t so bad. I was a little nervous but it was better. The girl at the register was nice. We chatted about comic books until V drag me out. She said she couldn’t find the color that she was looking for.

FreestyleDustin: Your nose really bleeds when heavy metal is playing?

SuperChip: Yup, Maddie explain it to me once. It has to do with stress on the body. You know Maddie sounds like across between Blake and Cam.

FreestyleDustin: Really? How so?

SuperChip: Blake is reliable and friendly like Maddie. Maddie is good at cameras like Cam is good at computers.

FreestyleDustin: Minus the fact that Blake is a racer and Cam has this odd sense of humor that I don’t get sometimes. From what you said about Xander, he is a lot like Shane and Hunter. They are take change type of guys.

SuperChip: Except for hitting on every girl within a mile of him.

FreestyleDustin: Is that really true?

SuperChip: Last week, Xander dated three different girls. The week before that, it was two girls. If I see a girl twice, that means I have to learn her name.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I think our friends would hit it off well if they meet.

SuperChip: Yup, I think so.

FreestyleDustin: You know what? Our friends are weird.

SuperChip: lol. So, are we. I think that we get along so well.

“Dustin? It is nearly midnight.” Dustin’s mother said from outside of his bedroom.

“Sorry, mom, lost track of time.” Dustin said.

FreestyleDustin: I have to go, dude. Seeya tomorrow.

SuperChip: Night.

FreestyleDustin is signed off at 11:54 p.m.

End of Part 3

A/N: ::looks under the rock to see where all of these reviewers came from.:: Wow…You guys…thank you. I am sorry for the mistakes in this chapter. I don’t have a beta reader anymore. But I am on the search for one. Yes, there will be two chapters on power rangers.

List of Next Five Chapters:
4) The Great Debate: Marvel vs. DC
5) Freestyle Arrows
6) Who Are You Again?
7) P Stands For Power
8) Fears and Failures

[Tristanism]

I thought it was a story about Sky, by the title. :005: Part 1 was cute tho.

[Lisa J]

K, just read through everything and I'll just mention some stuff that caught me off-gaurd:

- In Chapter 1, I found it weird for Chip and Dustin to randomly go to a Power Rangers site. They both like comic books, so why wouldn't they meet online at a comic book messageboard? I thought that would make it more natural.

- In Chapter 2, Tori kept saying Cam's name when talking to him. Ex: "Blah blah blah, Cam. Yadda yaddda yadda, Cam." When you talk to your friends, do you always say their name after stating something? It's sounds awkward.

Overall stuff:

- The IM conversations: I don't know how you talk to people on IM, but rarely do people write out paragraphs of text multiple times. Once in a while if there's a story to tell, but that's rare as well. It just seems weird to have these characters IM that way, especially these two who have an attention span of a flea.

- Another note: It seems as if Dustin has lost his own "Dustiness." The guy on the show was really a stereotypical Californian with all his "Dude"s and "Awesome"s and such. Even with the topics they discuss. The name thing was cool, but then he's getting all girly girly with emotions, esp. with another guy. I don't know why I can understand that with Chip, but for Dustin, it just seems out of character as we go along in the story.

- Finally: Description! The first chapter was good in describing how each guy was bored. But then the following chapters are falling into only dialogue. Like, the stories that each guy told to the other, you can describe that in detail and then go back into the IM conversation. People will know that they're talking about their friends and such, but you as the narrator can give us a deeper look into what happened. Also, it breaks up the monotonous "He said, He said."

---------------------

I think your idea is cute and hope to see more of it! :023:

[WILDKAT]

Love it even more!! are they ever going to meet in person? ooo have lothor comeback and teamup with morticon! that would be cool!!!

[LadyZaria]

Yes, there will be a team-up and I have no clue what period of MF I will do it in. Yes, they will meet...I think it will be around chapter 9 or 10 when Chip and Dustin will meet.

You make some great points, Lisa. But I am going to disagree with on some points.

IM chat: Believe it or not, that is how I im. The abbverations drive me up the wall. I don't know half of them. It makes me feel old. :(

IM: I don't know about other people but sometimes, I will become so focus on Im that I don't do anything else. But don't worry, real life and other stuff will start taking over the ims.

Dustin: I agree with chapter 3. Dustin is a little off. I love Dustin but he has much hard character for me to write. I am working on it.

I didn't realize that I said Cam's name that many times. o.0 Thanks for points out those things for me, Lisa.

Anyway until the next chapter.

LadyZ

[Lisa J]

You make some great points, Lisa. But I am going to disagree with on some points.

IM chat: Believe it or not, that is how I im. The abbverations drive me up the wall. I don't know half of them. It makes me feel old. :(
Ha! I don't use them either, but what I meant was that most people do not write really long texts in IMs. And especially looking at the characters you're dealing with, I don't think they would either. I mean, this isn't Bridge here, lol.

See Through Skies: The Great Debate: Marvel vs. DC
By: M14Mouse
Disclaimer: Don’t own them.

Dustin drops a pile of comic books and magazines next to his computer. He look determine as he took a seat at the computer. He looks through his pile before he picks up an old copy of Wizard magazine. He folds the magazine and set it on his lap before he starting to type.

FreestyleDustin: That is so not true!

SuperChip: Yes, it is! What was Spiderman thinking? That costume was ugly.

FreestyleDustin: No, it isn’t, dude!

SuperChip: Come on, Dustin. He looks like a giant silver armadillo. How can Spiderman be cool in a giant armadillo suit? It is impossible. I bet the villains were laughing behind his back.

FreestyleDustin: Well, look at the Superman! For a while he was a blue night light and red…thing. Oh, I am so scary…with lightening coming out my eyes. It was embarrassing to read Superman during that storyline, dude.


SuperChip: Okay…Okay…I will give you that one. I still think JLA has the coolest base ever.

FreestyleDustin: No way, dude. Look at the X-Manison. It is freaky awesome. It has the danger room! I would love to work out in that thing! Oh, man, I bet I could pull off awesome moves, dude. I bet I could make the best track in the world, dude. I forgot Cerebro, dude. The movies made that thing so cool. Cam said I would blow it up if I got near that thing. Dude, I am not a telepath. I couldn’t break it.

SuperChip: lol. The danger room is cool and all but JLA’s base is in space. How cool is that. Beside, JLA’s satellites can help anyone around the world. There is nothing that they cannot do.

FreestyleDustin: But didn’t Batman turn one of their satellites against them, dude. And like make secret files of his teammates on how to defeat them. Dude that sounds like something a bad guy would have done.

SuperChip: Cerebro isn’t fool proof either. The Hellfire Club messed up Cerebro during the Dark Phoenix Saga. Batman always has a Plan B and probably Plan C somewhere in his pocket. He is the only human among the super humans in JLA. What if Superman became evil? What chance does the world have against an evil Superman? That is why Batman made the files. He wanted to know how to take them down just in case.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I cannot believe that you are taking Batman’s side. The guy was like a stalker. He watched their every move and knew everything about them, dude. I agreed with JLA when they kick him out.

SuperChip: I am the first one to say that Batman is creepy but I understand where he is coming from. In his own creepy way, he cares for his teammates but his first priority is the world. The files were the ultimate back up plan. The problem is that Batman is only human. He didn’t safe guard his files enough.

Dustin’s hands froze for a moment. His stomach slowly twists into a knot. He did the same thing. He let information fall into the wrong hands. He didn’t mean to do it. He runs his hands through his hair.

That happened years ago…why is he still feel guilty about this, dude? His friends forgave him.

Because you haven’t forgiven yourself, dude.

Stupid sub conscience thing.

SuperChip: Dustin? Are you still there?

FreestyleDustin: Sorry, dude. I have to go.

FreestyleDustin signed off at 4:15 p.m.

Dustin moves from his computer to his phone. He picks the phone but set it back down.

This is so stupid, dude.

His friends would laugh in his face if he told them.

They wouldn’t.

Yes, they would.

They wouldn’t.

Yes, they would, dude!

Dude, I know my friends better than you do.

…..

You are arguing with your head, dude.

That isn’t a good sign.

Dustin picked up the phone again and dial in Shane’s number.

He was about to hang up when Shane finally pick up the phone.

“Hello, Shane speaking.” Shane said.

“Dude, am I Batman?” He said.

“Uhh…You can be…but dude, Halloween is four months away.” Shane said.

“No…No. It is hard to explain, dude. Never mind, dude. Talk to you later.” He said.

“Dustin, wait! What is wrong?” Shane said.

“It is stupid, dude. Me and Chip were talking about comic books. The topic of Batman came up. In one of the storylines, Batman had these files that told how to defeat the JLA. Well, the files fell into the wrong hands. His teammates end up getting the butts handed to them in a bad way.” He said.

“What does that…oh…OH. Dustin, that was years ago. Why are you worrying about that now?” Shane said.

“I…don’t know, dude.” He said.

“Bro, we forgave you even if there is really nothing to forgive. Normal person would have left your stuff with Kelly, dude. We didn’t know that Hunter and Blake were on the other team. Beside, it worked out in end, dude.” Shane said.

“It sure did.” He said.

“Good…next time, bro, keep your comic book battles between you and Chip.” Shane said.

“Dude, it was a friendly talk about who had the better base. We aren’t going to kill each other.” He said.

Shane starts to laugh over the phone.

“Dude…Dude, what is so funny!” He said.

Chip was trying to figure out what he said wrong.

Was Dustin afraid of Batman? Maybe, the spandex scared him or the old television show.

But that doesn’t make sense either. They have talked about Batman before.

Maybe, he should call Maddie. She was good at this type of stuff.

FreestyleDustin: Hey, dude! I am BACK!

SuperChip: Dustin!

FreestyleDustin: Sorry to leave you hanging. Mom called me for a moment.

SuperChip: That is okay. I thought for a moment that I said something wrong.

FreestyleDustin: Of course not, dude. Soo….

SuperChip: JLA is still better than the X-men.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that is so not true!

End of Marvel vs. DC: The Great Debate

A/N: I fool you, didn’t I? In reality, this chapter was the biggest pain in the butt the whole Shane conversation was the biggest sore spot for me. I removed it…I kept it…then removed it again then I remember why I wrote it. It is important for future chapter. On the more positive side, the next chapter will be out next week. That chapter promise to be quite interesting. Tomorrow, check my livejournal for answer to questions and new chapters list. I know you people have quite a few. Thank you for your reviews and as always read and review::Gives her reviewers cookies.::

See Through Skies: Freestyle Arrows

By: M14Mouse

Disclaimer: Don’t own them.

Chip yawns softly as he stares at the computer screen. His fingers keep tapping on the mouse. He just wanted to do one quest before he went to bed. He thought it would be an easy quest. You know go fetch the stone from the middle of the forest. Boy, he was wrong. Now, he is running for his life from little bunnies with axes. He is glad that no one is around to see how embarrassing he was about getting his butt handed to him by bunnies.

He was able to heal his character when an im box pops up on his screen. He nearly double clicks the wrong spell. He didn’t want to cast a dark spell. Those bunnies absorb dark spells. He could have sworn that he turn off his im off. He was glad that he didn’t. He pause his game before he answers him.

FreestyleDustin: Dude! Dude, you are on! Dude! Dude, I have some awesome news to tell you!

SuperChip: Hey, Dustin! What is your awesome news?

FreestyleDustin: I won, dude! I won! I won! I won! WHOA!

SuperChip: Congs, Dustin! I thought you wouldn’t be back until tomorrow.

FreestyleDustin: Freestyle was one of the first events of the day. So, I got done early, dude. Dude, the weather was perfect. My highest score was a 96. I mess up on the Heel Clicker, dude. But I made it up on an awesome Dead Body. I did do a sweet Cliffhanger and Rock Solid. I did clean landings, dude! It was just prefect. Man, I wish you could have been there to see it.

The first thought in his head was huh. What did Dustin just say?

SuperChip: I am sure I would like to see a Dead Body if I knew what one was.

FreestyleDustin: Sorry, dude. A Dead Body is when you stick out your legs between your arms and stretching back so you are laying flat above the bike. Cliffhanger is when you place your feet on top the handlebars and than reaching up towards the sky.

His month drops. He has seen clips but to hear what Dustin does brings into a whole new light.

SuperChip: Wow…and your body just does this stuff. Do you plan what you do before you jump into the air? Do you ever think about crashing or something going wrong?

FreestyleDustin: I plan and practice before I go up into the air, dude. I really don’t have time to think once I get up there. It is like my mind is off and my body does the work for me, dude. If I think about crashing, dude, I think I would make myself a nervous wreak. I just don’t think about it. You understand what I am trying to say, dude?

SuperChip: I understand…in a way, it is kind of like archery.

FreestyleDustin: Huh?

SuperChip: You can stay there and correct everything that you think is wrong. Your arms and back could be bend wrong. You could be holding the bow wrong. You could be not pulling the bow back far enough. Little things could mess up a good shot. Of course, there are things you cannot control like the weather. If you miss, don’t worry about and try again. I think we just practice for our bodies to know what we want them to do when the time comes. When you are up on the ramp or I am in front of a target, we just hope our training pays off.

FreestyleDustin: Dude…I never thought about it like that. Dude, do you have a tape or dvd of that archery thing?

SuperChip: I am sure I can bug Maddie for a copy of one of my competition. Do you have a copy for your Freestyle competition?

FreestyleDustin: I am sure that I get a copy from a friend.

SuperChip: Okay, ground rules: We watch the tapes at the same time. We get online and talk about what we think.

FreestyleDustin: Sounds fair, dude.

SuperChip: Okay…my address is Chip Thorn 346 Yellow Branch Road. Brairwood, CA. 95425.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I didn’t know we live in the same state. I don’t come home until the weekends. So, here is my address: Dustin Brooks 9821 Tree Way. Blue Harbor, CA 95501.

SuperChip: You live about 6 hours away from me. Wow, that is cool.

FreestyleDustin: Yup, you have no excuse for coming and see me compete.

SuperChip: Well…I don’t have a car. I am sure I find a way for V to bring me.

FreestyleDustin: Oh…I forgot about that, dude.

SuperChip: lol.

FreestyleDustin: Hey, dude, what have you been up too?

Chip sighs as he looks at the sorry state of his character in battle with a bunny.

SuperChip: You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.

See Through Skies: Letters

By: M14Mouse

Disclaimer: Honestly, you should know by now that I don’t own them.

When Chip returned home from school, he dropped his book bag by the door.

“Chip, you have a package on the kitchen table.” Uncle Danny shouted from the living room.

His first thought was who was sending him a package?

Wait a minute…Dustin!

He ran to the kitchen and saw a package sitting on the table. He nearly laughed out loud at the sight of the package. It looks like Dustin used an entire roll of tape to wrap it. It took him three different pairs of scissors and a knife to get the package open. A letter and a dvd fell out of the table as he turn over. He set the dvd to the side and open the letter. He took a seat the table before he starts to read. It took him a few seconds to figure out Dustin’s handwriting. It look like Vida’s handwriting but much scratchier.

Hey DUDE!

How are you, dude? I really hope this package doesn’t get lost in a monster attack or something. That would just suck. Anyway, this letter writing thing is strange and so isn’t my thing, dude. Hunter suggests that I tell you what is on the dvd. You know most of this already but Hunter is standing over my shoulder, dude. He keeps saying he is watching to make sure I get it right, dude. I think it is because he is being nosy.

OUCH! Dude, that hurts! Go away! Not you, Chip. Finally, he is gone!

Anyway, there are three rounds, and three attempts on the same jump. Ten judges judge for style, difficulty of the trick, and best use of the course on 100 point score. The first round, I did a Holy Man in the first round. It sort of makes me look like Superman, dude. The second round, I did a Dead Body. I think I told you about that one, dude. That is the one that you look like you are in a coffin. The final round, I did Kiss of Death. It isn’t as bad as it sound. Kelly nearly flipped when I did it, dude. She said that I wasn’t ready it. It didn’t turn out great but I had to try it, dude. I have been practice it forever. Anyway, the Kiss of Death is when your body is straight up and your bike is straight down.

A couple of more things, dude! Don’t turn off the dvd when the camera goes black. Shane dropped it on the ground, dude. Or when Hunter starts follow the girl around with the camera. Or Blake and Tori makes silly faces at the camera. Kapri and Marah were fighting over something that I couldn’t see. So don’t ask me, dude. So wish that Cam could edit that stuff out. Talk to you soon, dude! Remember your promise! No WATCHING until I get my package.

Dustin

P.S. I hope I wrap the package good enough.

Chip laughed as he finished up the letter. He eyed the dvd with curiosity. Then his eyes moved to the package. Oh, yes, he wrapped it well enough.

Dustin groaned softly as something was ringing in his ear. It was his day off, dude. He wasn’t about to get up for anything. Not for pizza, not for the track all to himself, not for a movie, not for the end of the world. Well, he may get up for that since he probably have to go help and save it.

“Dustin, there is a package for you. It is from a Chip Thorn.” His mom’s voice rang out.

The package is here!

THUMP!

He rolled out of his bed. He scrambled to find a t-shirt or anything.

Dude, you really do need to clean your room.

….

He just didn’t think that. Dude, he needed more sleep.

He slipped on a clean shirt before running down the stairs into the kitchen.

He saw the package on the kitchen table and began to tear into it.

“Dustin! You might rip up something important if you do that.” Dustin’s mom said as she looked up from her shopping list.

“Nah…” He said as the torn letter and video tape fell out of the pieces of the package.

His mother just gave him a told you so look before going back to her shopping list.

Dustin smiled a little as he piece Chip’s letter back together.

Hey Dustin

How are you? Me? I am still trying to find that link to that funny Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle video to you. I think the internet has swallowed it like a dragon would swallow a knight. It is strange writing this letter. I keep thinking that you are going pop up and make some comment. Strange, huh? Anyway, the basic rules of target archery competition. Funny thing is that every competition is different because there may be different distances, locations, and numbers of arrows used. For this competition, I had three arrows to shot with and five minutes between each shot. Target archery used a 1 to 10 point scale. 10 is a bull’s eye and every ring that goes moves away from the bull’s eye is a point less. If your arrow hits the line, you score the next ring’s value. I don’t think there was a tie breaker. But in an event of a tie, they count how many X that the archer hit on the target.

I think I got everything. If you don’t understand anything, just ask. Oh, if the archery ever bores you, Xander’s color comment on every girl’s butt and other features may keep you amuse for a bit. Of course, V didn’t help when she started comment on every guy’s butt. Then they start to argue about it and threat to beat each other up. Talk to you online. I hope to catch your package soon.

Chip

P.S: How many pieces did you tear into the package? My running bet was 10.

Dustin laughed at the last comment on the letter. Now, that he thought about it, dude. One….Two….

If Chip wasn’t an honest person, he would lie and say he would enjoy it. But after about 30 minutes, he just couldn’t pay attention to it. The riders were amazing with their stunts and he cringes a few times when they crashed. But after a while, their stunts began to blur together and look all the same to him. Maybe, it is different when you are there in person. Dustin’s friends helped a little but in the end, he was still bored.

Then he did something that he hasn’t done since Madison’s history video…he fall asleep. When he woke up, he was face with the black screen and he had to hit the playback button to see who won. He did cheer when Dustin come in second place.

Now, he had a decision to make: Should he lie? Should he tell the truth?

Sometimes, it is good to lie like when Xander wore that awful yellow shirt to school. But sometimes, it is a bad thing like when what he did at Vida’s birthday party.

He doesn’t like to lie. It is against his code.

A clime noise rang from his computer screen and Dustin’s im box popped up.

FreestyleDustin: Hey, dude!

SuperChip: Hey!

FreestyleDustin: So…what do you did you think, dude?

He paused for a second before answering.

SuperChip: Well, I thought the stunts were amazing. I cringed a few times at the crashes. But after a while, I sort of fell asleep.

He felt that he waited forever for Dustin to response.

FreestyleDustin: I am glad that I am not the only one, dude. Maybe, it is better in person, but your sport is boring.

For a brief moment, Chip was slightly hurt. Then a thought pop into his head and he started to laugh.

SuperChip: lol. I know…I guess being in the sport and watching the sport are two different things.

FreestyleDustin: So true, dude. So, you aren’t angry?

SuperChip: Nope. Are you?

FreestyleDustin: Nope. But dude, I have you watch my back anytime. No one would come close to me when you shot like that.

SuperChip: I was having a good day. It happened. You just could feel it.

FreestyleDustin: You are right, dude.

SuperChip: Still going to teach me how to ride a motorcycle?

FreestyleDustin: Yup, still going to teach me how to shoot one of those bows and arrows thing, dude?

SuperChip: Yup. I have a question.

FreestyleDustin: Bring on, dude.

SuperChip: Are you friends really that wacky or they just acting like that in front of the camera?

FreestyleDustin: lol. That is nothing, dude. You should have seen us at the skate park. Let me find that picture. But I have a request.

SuperChip: What is it?

FreestyleDustin: No more letters…unless it is special or something. It took me forever to write that letter, dude.

SuperChip: lol.

End of Letters

Next Chapter: P stands for Power

A/N: Neither Dustin nor Chip strikes me as big letter writer type people. It was hard to gauge Chip’s reaction to Freestyle. I know that Dustin would have been bored by archery. But both of them would have support each other in their respect sports even if they didn’t like it. But by all means, tell me if you think I got it wrong. Again…I thank everyone for their reviews. You get cookies. Again, read and review if you wish. Merry Christmas to everyone! And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope your day was bright and cheerful.

Disclaimer: I don’t own them. ;.;

Takes Place 9 Months before Mystic Force

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that is so not true! Zeo Megazord is so much better!

SuperChip: Come on…Zeo Megazord look like a rip off of the Thunder Megazord. The poor pink and yellow ranger zords look like an after thought in the Zeo Megazord. Oh, we forgot to give you a zord. So here! Your zords can be the feet. What in the world?

FreestyleDustin: Okay, you won, dude! But Zeo Ultrazord warrior mode was so awesome. It was huge! It is the size of a mountain! I so want that zord, dude!

SuperChip: It looked like a giant walking tank, Dustin. It just rolled onto the battle field. Now the Thunder Megazord is wow! It could merge with the best zord in history, Dragonzord.

FreestyleDustin: You have no sense of style, dude.

SuperChip: I have plenty of style. It is just better than yours. 

FreestyleDustin: Those are so fighting words, dude.

SuperChip: Bring it on!

FreestyleDustin: You are so going to eat dirt on that one, dude. I know everything on power rangers. Since I am a good dude, I am going to start you off easy, dude. What was the first Power Ranger team called?

SuperChip: Japan or the United States? Japan had several serving teams before we got ours. But if you were referring to the United States, MMPR was our first. Since you are the master of power ranger knowledge, let me see what the master knows. Who were the first power rangers to be revealed to the public?

FreestyleDustin: This is going to be good. Power Rangers in Space was the first. Their names are Andros, TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley. Oh, I meet Tommy once, dude! He is awesome in person.

SuperChip: Tommy?

Dustin pauses at the keyboard. Dude, he didn’t just type that! Oh, crap! Think, dude! Think! OH! OH! He got it.

FreestyleDustin: Tommy worked behind the scenes at Lightspeed. What first team wasn’t from earth?

SuperChip: I think there was a team that wasn’t from Earth in between the MMPR era and Zeo. Then there was Andros. The Lost Galaxy team didn’t fight on Earth. You can see their fights on YouTube. What team wasn’t lead by a red ranger?

FreestyleDustin: Oh…toughie, dude! Wild Force was lead by the yellow ranger until the red ranger show up. Then again, I think the alien team was lead by a female as well, dude. What team who mentor was a hamster?

SuperChip: A hamster?

Dustin bangs his head against his desk. What in the world was he thinking, dude? You might as well spill that you are a power ranger, dude! Well, a former power ranger, dude! It is still the same thing!

Stupid! Stupid! Time for covering tracks!

FreestyleDustin: IT was a joke, dude! 

SuperChip: lol. A hamster? A talking hamster bossing the power rangers around? That is just weird. I would like to see that! Not as cool as a dragon but that would be neat. It is almost as weird as having a floating head as a mentor.

Dustin almost chokes as he read Chip’s response. Okay…time to change the topic.

FreestyleDustin: lol. Okay, favorite weapon?

SuperChip: The bow. You really shouldn’t have been surprise by that question! I am always a fan when they combine weapons. That was teamwork!

FreestyleDustin: So agree, dude! The hammer is my favorite.

SuperChip: That is a surprise. I thought you would be a fan of the blasters.

FreestyleDustin: I love the blasters…but the hammer is different. It cracks the earth like it was nothing. The smoke and everything, dude! POOF and Boom! Man, I miss seeing that weapon in action.

SuperChip: Hey, did the yellow ranger in your town have a hammer?

FreestyleDustin: Uh…I think so, dude.

SuperChip: I bet you saw a whole bunch of action. Oh, what were the power rangers like and their zords? Did you meet any of them?

FreestyleDustin: I never met them in person. Well, not meet, meet. You know watch from the side lines. They were totally awesome, dude! Their zords were wow…You could see the whole city in them. I love the lion zord of course. But the Thunder Ninja rangers had some kick butt zords.

SuperChip: Wow…

FreestyleDustin: What is your favorite ranger team, dude?

SuperChip: I think that all of them are great. It is difficult to choose. All of them save the universe. But if you ask my favorite weapons and zords, that goes to the original and the thunder zords. Of course, the new zords and new weapons are great! No fair! Too many choices! Okay, all of them are my favorites!

FreestyleDustin: lol.

SuperChip: So, not funny. Okay, if you were a power ranger, what color would you be?

FreestyleDustin: Yellow!

SuperChip: Yellow…isn’t that a girl color?

FreestyleDustin: Wha….HEY! That is very manly color too, dude!

SuperChip: lol. It just most yellow rangers have been girls…but I can see you as yellow.

FreestyleDustin: What color would you be?

SuperChip: I just don’t know. But I know what color my friends would be!

FreestyleDustin: Really, dude?

SuperChip: Maddie would be blue. She is all calm and smart. V would kill me if I said this…but I think she would make an excellent pink ranger. Xander would be red or green. He is bossy but yet, I know he cares. What about your friends?

FreestyleDustin: Shane and Hunter are red. Tori and Blake are blue. Cam is green.

SuperChip: I bet that would make an interesting team.

FreestyleDustin: You have no idea, dude. I know what color you would be.

SuperChip: What?

FreestyleDustin: That is easy, dude. Yellow. 

Takes Places 8 Months, 2 weeks before Mystic Force

“Hey, Tor...Dustin’s friend is on,” Shane said as he pointed to the computer screen. Tori looked up from the scroll that she was reading.

“And..so?” She said.

“Come on…aren’t you a tiny bit curious about the guy that Dustin keeps rambling on about?”

“Not really.” She said. Shane completely ignored her and took a seat at the computer.

“Shane! What if Dustin found out? What if Chip figures it out?” She said as Shane just waved his hand at her.

“You are no fun. Beside, it isn’t that hard to act like Dustin. I get to check out the guy before Dustin meets him,” He said as he started to type on the keyboard.

“Whatever, Shane,” She said as she rolled her eyes.

FreestyleDustin: Hey!

SuperChip: Hey, Dustin! You are back early. I thought you went to the track with Hunter and Blake.

FreestyleDustin: I got done early, bro.

SuperChip: That is awesome. I have some great news! You know that big sport demo that I was talking about earlier. Our archery team got picked. So, we finally get to meet!

FreestyleDustin: That is great, dude!

SuperChip: :-)

FreestyleDustin: Can I bring my friends along? They are curious to meet you.

“He better bring us along because if he doesn’t, he is going to answer to me,” Shane mumbled to himself as he typed.

He could hear Tori chucking in the background.

SuperChip: Of course! I thought we talk about that already.

FreestyleDustin: Just want to make sure, dude. They are really curious about you. Dude, I think I drove Shane nuts with our comic book debates.

SuperChip: They were friendly debates!

He couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Chip’s reply. He would hate to see what unfriendly debate was. Tori came over and looked over his shoulder.

“I thought you weren’t interested,” He said.

“You started it. I might as well as watch. Now, answer him,” She said.

FreestyleDustin: That is what I said, dude. He just didn’t understand.

SuperChip: Anyway, I don’t know how long the event is going to last but I know we have a few hours before we have to leave. I tell you more once the coach gives me more information.

FreestyleDustin: No problem, dude. This is so great. I get to show you all of my hang outs. Kelly’s should be open when your event thing is over, dude. If not, I am sure the track will open, dude. I can show you my bike. You can’t ride it…but I am sure I can find a practice bike, dude. I know that Shane will show off some his awesome skating boarding moves, bro. It may to Tori to show off her surfing skills.

SuperChip: lol. It sounds great. Now, which one are you?

FreestyleDustin: What?

SuperChip: I just went through this almost same conversation just a few hours ago with Dustin. Dustin may forget things but I doubt he would forget this. So, I am going to ask again…Who are you?

Tori started to laugh behind him.

“Very funny…Very funny. I don’t want to hear it.” He said.

“Aren’t you going to answer him?” She said as he gave her a look.

FreestyleDustin: I am Shane….and the person next to me is Tori.

“Don’t drag me into this, Shane. It is your fault,” She said as she hit his shoulder.

SuperChip: ::waves to Tori.:: From what Dustin said about you. You probably tried to talk him out it.

“Hey!” He said as she pushed him over to type on the keyboard.

FreestyleDustin: You got that right.

FreestyleDustin: Tori! Stop that!

SuperChip: lol.

FreestyleDustin: Now, you aren’t going to tell Dustin, are you?

SuperChip: What is the point? I got to meet you guys early! Now…who is the one that sucks at Halo 2?

FreestyleDustin: That isn’t me…that it is Blake.

FreestyleDustin: Nah…that is Shane.

FreestyleDustin: Tori!

See Through Skies: Reason For Many Meetings
By: M14Mouse
Disclaimer: ::sighs.:: Don’t own them.

Takes 8 Months Before Mystic Force

“Bro, stop pacing. You are going to dig a hole into the ground,” Shane said without looking up from his magazine. They were waiting outside for Chip who was still in practice.

“I am not pacing, dude. I am walking around…uh…in circles and squares. Dude, I didn’t know I could pace in squares,” Dustin said as he stopped pacing for a moment.

“Uh huh,” He said with a smile. A second later, Dustin started pacing again.

“Dude, what if he doesn’t like me?” Dustin said.

“Of course, he likes you. How many ims conversations have you two the last couple of months? I know you said you saw a tape of his archery completion,” He said.

“A lot…but that doesn’t mean anything, dude. You know the last person I meet online in person wasn’t the greatest. I just don’t know, dude,” Dustin said as he looked down at his feet.

Oh, he remember that the girl who posed as a guy online. That mess with Dustin’s head big time. Cam put an end that really quick. He did something to her computer and she hasn’t bugged him since.

“I have a good feeling that this one, okay?” He said.

Dustin gave him an odd look. He was about to say something before the gym’s door slam opened and loud voices came from the gym. A fairly large crowd of people came out. Dustin turned around and took off running into the crowd.

Great…now, he is going to have to find Dustin and Chip. He got up from the bench and walked into the crowd.

“DUDE!”

Well, that didn’t take long as he thought. He spotted Dustin waving his hands all about at a guy with red hair. So, that is Chip. He looked Chip up and down. He was a lot skinny than what he thought he would be. He was shorter and really…pale too. He needed to get in the sun. He couldn’t really make out what they were saying. He really didn’t need too. He could tell by the laughing, smiles, and hand waving that they were having a good time. There is something else about him. It is edge of his conscience and he wish he knew what it was. It wasn’t bad…but it was there. Also long as it isn’t evil. He would storage it away for later.

“Dude, there you are. Come and meet Chip!” Dustin said as he finally saw him. He chuckled as he walked up to the pair.

“Dude, this is Chip. Chip, this is Shane,” Dustin said happily.

“It is nice to finally meet you. I have heard a lot of about you.” Chip said with a smile as he offered his hand to him. Bro already won a point for not telling Dustin about our prior meeting.

“Same here, bro,” He said as he shook Chip’s hand.

“So, Chip was just telling me how hungry he was, dude.” Dustin said. A moment later, a very loud noise came from Dustin’s stomach. Dustin tried to look guilty. Both he and Chip looked at each other for a moment before they burst out laughing.

“It looks to me that you are the one that is hungry, bro,” He said.

“Nahh…I am hungry too. Just my stomach doesn’t come with the sound effects,” Chip said.

“Hey…If my stomach didn’t tell me when to eat, dude. I would like starve to death,” Dustin said.

“Bro, I seriously doubt that. Where do you guys want to eat?” He said.

Chip is one interesting dude. I can see why he and Dustin get along so well. His choices in food are...different. I have never seen Tori hide her face behind her hand so much. Hunter got a kick out of it when he added mustard to the carrots. Just hope bro doesn’t start copying Chip’s style. Then I would really need to move out. ~Blake~

“Seriously, dude, you have three cousins, aunt, uncle, your mom, and you live under the same roof? Hunter said as he shoved his mash potatoes into his mouth.

“Stop being so disgusting, Hunter.” Tori said as she made a face at Hunter.

“It is four cousins now. My aunt and uncle adopted another one. They are just waiting for the paperwork to go through,” Chip said.

“Dude, that is insane,” Dustin said.

“You should talk, bro. I have seen your family reunions,” Blake said.

“But that is different, dude. I see them once a year and then they go home. Chip, here, he sees his everyday,” Dustin said as he taken a bit of pizza.

“Guys, it isn’t so bad. One thing I can say that it is never boring. The only bad thing is that they always want to get into my stuff,” Chip said as he added mustard on his carrots.

“Eew,” Tori said.

“You should try it. It is really good.” Chip said.

“No thanks. I like my food normal,” Tori said.

“You are no fun, Tor. It is called broadening your horizons,” Shane said.

“Trying a new shrimp recipe is broadening my horizons. Ew…not adding gummy bears to mash potatoes! That is disgusting, Chip. Stop it!” Tori said as she tried to cover her eyes.

“What? It is good. Does she do this all time when you guys eat out?” Chip said before he took a bit of his mash potatoes.

“Nah, dude. I think it is because you are the new dude. She knows how we eat but you…You kind of threw her off with the gummy bears,” Dustin said with a grin.

“You two are impossible,” Tori said.

“Thanks.” Dustin and Chip said at the same time. Everyone else at the table started to laugh.

“Okay…Okay…Why archery, dude?” Hunter said as he tried to stop laughing.

“I don’t know why. I tried the normal stuff like football, basketball, and baseball. Nothing really clicks or I become a walking bruise. I don’t mind bruises but when your 4 year old cousin runs into you like a football player. You tend rethink yourself. With archery, it is just clicked for me. Of course, my mom had to move my target. I kept hitting the tires,” Chip said thoughtfully.

“Dude, that can’t beat Blake. He ran into side of the work shed with his bike,” Hunter said.

“The brake was broke and you should talk, bro. You are the one who ran into a tree,” Blake said with a grin.

“The gas petal was stuck, bro.” Hunter said.

“Uh..huh,” Blake said.

“That is nothing…Dustin here, he tried sling shot himself across the yard once,” Tori said.

“Oh, no…you didn’t, Tori. I remember that you tried to bungle jump off a tree, dude,” Dustin said.

“I was five and it was a safe cord if I really couldn’t fly,” Tori said.

“Pretty crazy, aren’t they, bro?” Shane said as he leaned over to Chip’s side. Chip was turning beet red from the laughing.

“Nahh…Me and Vida did some pretty crazy things too. Once, we did build a pretty good slingshot. You just need a good strong elastic cords and good backing. We used a book. Boy, that cat sure did fly and you know…it landed on its feet too,” Chip said.

“Dude, you think you can do a human?” Dustin said.

“Nah…you would need industrial strength cording or rubber.” Chip said.

Dustin and Hunter looked at each other and grinned.

“You two aren’t going make a slingshot,” Tori said.

“Who said it is just going to be us?” Hunter said with an evil smile.

A slingshot! We made a real slingshot, bro. It was so much fun…until Shane had to pick up a rock and hit Tori’s van….Dude, I have never seen Tori look so piss out!
--Hunter--

“He shots and he scores!” Hunter said as he finished launching a water balloon into the air. The water balloon flew across the field and burst onto the ground.

“Dude, mine went so much farer,” Dustin said.

“It didn’t, dude. It just rolled where the trees were,” Hunter said.

“But it counts, dude,” Dustin said.

“Okay…Move aside, guys. Let the pro show you how it is done,” Blake said.

“Whatever, dude,” Dustin said.

“I started surfing when I was thirteen. I always love the water. My mom would bring us to the beach almost every day during the summer and to the pool during the winter.” Tori said as she watched Blake launch a water balloon into the air.

“You are lucky. Our coast is too rocky for swimming. But people do try to swim it….like Xander and Vida. People like me and Madison have to go and make sure they don’t kill themselves. I did try it once because I thought it would be an interesting adventure. I got this scar for my trouble and my mom grounding me for a month.” Chip said. He rolled up his sleeve and under his arm was a long pale scar.

“Ha, dude! Mine was still the best,” Dustin shouted as he watched Blake’s balloon hit the ground.

“Ouch, bro. I got this one from hitting the bars at the skate park,” Shane said as he rolled up his shirt to reveal an ugly looking scar along his stomach.

“Ouch,” Chip said as he made a face.

“Hey, Shane, it is your turn, bro,” Blake said as he took a seat next to Tori.

“Alright!” Shane said as he got to his feet and went to the home made sling shot.

“An interesting adventure, huh? We need to get you on a bike, bro,” Blake said.

“You can’t go around corrupt people, Blake. He may not even be interested in motorcycles,” Tori said as she turned toward Blake. Chip just nodded his head eagerly behind Tori’s back. Blake just laughed.

“You are next, Chip,” Dustin said as he took a seat next to Chip.

“No thanks. The thing I am ready to shoot is my catapult,” Chip said eagerly.

“You have a catapult, bro?” Blake said in amazement.

“Yup, me and my cousin, Justin has been working on it for months. We think it almost ready,” Chip said.

“Dude…I am so going to try it out when I visit,” Dustin said with a grin.

“Why don’t,” Chip was cut off by Tori’s hand over his mouth.

“Stop giving them ideas, Chip. You get to go home tomorrow. I have to live them afterwards,” Tori said.

CRASH!

“Oh, crap,” Shane said.

“Shane…what did you do my van!” Tori said with horrified look on her face.

-Never listen to Chip’s ideas again, bro. - Shane

“I should have never agreed to let you built that thing. Now look at my van! Look at it!” Tori said angrily. She hit the gas and the van accelerated quickly.

“I promise to repair it, Tori. I swear,” Shane said.

“You better start because I know where you live, work, and breath,” Tori said as she made a sharp turn.

“You know…Tori kind of remember me of Vida.” Chip said as he gripped the seat.

“Really? She is just as bad tempered too, dude?” Dustin said as he leaned over.

“I heard that!” Tori said as she slammed on her brake.

“Uhh,” Chip said as they stopped in front of the track.

“Get out…all of you!” Tori said.

“You heard the woman,” Hunter said as he quickly gets out of the van. Quickly Dustin, Chip, Blake, and Shane got out of the van.

“Expect you, Shane,” Tori said. Shane gave the others a save me look as he got back into the van. The van quickly drove away.

“Well…Note to self…never upset Tori,” Chip said.

“Good note to self, dude. Too bad that I always forget about those,” Dustin said as he patted Chip’s shoulder. Hunter and Blake went to large trailer and opened the back up. Once they got the ramp down, they rolled out their motorcycles. Quickly, Dustin followed to get his own bike.

“Dustin, get Chip a helmet,” Blake said.

“He is about your size, dude.” Dustin said he poked his head out of the truck. He grabbed his bike and two helmets before he guide his bike outside.

“Ever operate a bike before, Chip?” Blake asked.

“No…I know how to operate a tractor, power tilter, and a loader.” Chip said.

The other guys give him a look of amazement.

“What? I live on a farm. Whoo..” Chip said as Dustin slammed the helmet on his head.

“You are riding with Dustin, Chip. I am sure he isn’t going to try to kill you,” Blake said as he strap on his helmet and got onto his bike.

“Ready, dude?” Dustin as he got onto his bike.

“As long as you don’t try to kill me, Dustin.” Chip said as he got on the bike behind Dustin.

“Okay, dude.” Dustin said as he hit the gas.

“AHHHHH!.” Chip said with scream.

-- Note to self...never leave Dustin alone with Chip. One of them might get hurt or they might plan something….- Tori-

“Dude, I am sorry. I thought you were ready,” Dustin said with frown.

“It is okay, Dustin. I just bruise my butt. Beside afterward, it was fun!” Chip said as he rubbed his butt.

“I am glad your butt is as hard as Dustin’s head, dude. Or we would have been in a lot of trouble,” Hunter said.

“Wait a minu….hey!” Dustin said which caused the others to start laughing. A few minutes later, Tori drove up. She rolled down her window and looked the boys.

“How did it go, guys?” She said.

“It was fine until Dustin tried to kill Chip here,” Blake said.

“I didn’t try to kill him! He just fell off the bike,” Dustin said.

“Dustin, you aren’t supposed to kill your new friends until after the second meeting.” She said.

“It is okay. I just landed on my butt. I have done much worse,” Chip said with a grin.

“Fine…get in the van. We have to bring Chip back,” She said.

“Ahh…do we have to? We were going to bring him to Kelly’s next,” Hunter said.

“Come, Tori, it will only be a few minutes,” Dustin said.

“No, beside you will see him tomorrow at that archery thing. We want to introduce him to Cam.” She said. She almost laughed on how they were giving her puppy dog looks.

“Who is Cam again?” Chip said.

“He is our computer geek,” Hunter said.

“Dude, you show me how to shoot one of those things?” Dustin said.

“Of course, after the archery demo, we are going to let people try it out.” Chip said.

The guys climbed into the van and she started to the engine.

“Dude, do you think I could shoot a bow and arrow from my bike?” Dustin said.

“Well…maybe not a recurve bow. But you could com…” Chip was cut out again.

“Chip…no more giving ideas Dustin,” Hunter said.

“I am not going to try it, dude. I am just curious,” Dustin said.

“Uh huh…,” Blake and Hunter said at the same time.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

“Tell me again. Why am I here?” Cam said as he looked outside of the car window.

“You are here to meet Dustin’s friend,” She said.

“I have already met Dustin’s friend,” He said.

“I don’t count looking into his public records as meeting him, Cam,” She said. She couldn’t help but rolled her eyes. Sometimes, her friend was so stubborn about these sorts of things.

“That is enough.”

“Cam…Dustin really wants you to meet him.”

“Does he talk like Dustin?” He said.

“Well, a little but without the whole dude thing at the end of his sentence.” She said.

“Does he act like Dustin?”

“Well, a little but he is more excitable and much curious on things. He likes to find how things work. Probably it is to make more slingshots.”

“I heard about that. How did Shane do that?”

“He used a rock instead of a water ball. Now stop avoiding the topic. Sensei must have really got onto your case. ” She said in annoyance.

“Father threatens to turn off my computer. I don’t think my father knows where the off button is. I am not going to push my luck either and to think that I am almost finished that program.” He said.

“Your security program isn’t going anywhere. Now come on and let’s go see the others.” She said as she got out of the van. He made a face as she dragged him from the van.

She was surprise on how many people were here. Little kids were running around and adults were chatting. Vendors are selling food and stuff. Various sizes of targets were set up on the field. There was another group of people off to side. It must be the archery team because she could see Chip’s red hair from here.

“TOR…Cam…we are over here!” Blake said as he waved his hand through the crowd. She couldn’t help but smile at her boyfriend. She waved back but she frowned. A second later, he seemed to have disappeared back into the crowd. She dragged Cam with her as she pushed through the crowd. Finally, she spotted them and they were sitting by the ropes.

“Someone got good seats.” She said.

“It helps when you know people on the inside.” Hunter said as he put his feet on a folding chair. She rolled her eyes and then looked around for a second.

“Whatever. Where is Dustin?” She asked.

“He went for snacks and I think to talk to Chip. Hey, Cam! I am surprise that you are here.” Shane said as he pointed to a chair next to him.

“It wasn’t my choice.” Cam said with a growl.

“Sensei got your case again, huh?” Shane said.

“Hey!” Hunter said as she moved his feet off the chair.

“You know I need a seat too.” She said with a grin.

Dustin came bursting out of the crowd and leaned on his knees.

“Dude, it is about to start!” Dustin said with a grin.

“Hey, bro….where is the snacks?” Shane said.

“Uhh….”Dustin said as he looked at his hands.

“You forgot the snacks.” Shane said.

“Uhh…I don’t think so, dude. I went to the snack dude and got the snacks. Oh, then I visited Chip. I give him a bag of chips. Oh, then this guy came up…he was a really nice dude. Then this chick came up…” Dustin said.

“You gave our snacks to the archery team.” Hunter said with amazement.

“Well…uuhh…not all of them, dude. See? I still have a candy bar.” Dustin said as he pulled out a candy bar from his pocket.

“DUSTIN!” The other guys said.

“WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!” Someone said on a microphone.

“SHH…guys. It is about to start!” She said.

“I can’t believe you gave away our food.” Hunter said.

“Dude, they look hungry.” Dustin said.

She rolled her eyes. This was promising to be a long event.

---NSMFNSMF---

“DUDE! DUDE! That was so cool, dude! That ring thing was awesome!” Dustin said as he ran up to Chip. After the demonstrations, they set little strands along the field where people could shoot.

“Thanks! What did you guys think?” Chip said as he waved them over to his station where he was teaching.

“I like it when that dude light that rings on fire.” Hunter said.

“I told you how that worked, Hunter. It is fairly easy.” Cam said.

“You did, dude….but it was still cool.” Hunter said.

“Kenny thought of it. Everyone loves that trick.” Chip said.

“Oh, Chip…this is Cam. Cam, this is Chip.” She said.

“It is nice to meet you, Cam.” Chip said as he offered his hand. Cam reached over and shook it.

“The same. Dustin had talked a lot about you.” Cam said.

“I heard enough about you guys to write a book.” Chip said with a grin.

“It has better be a good one then. I really like the thing with the soda and the apples” She said.

“One day before a tournament, we had to wait for some fog to clear. We were bored and there were cola bottles. Well, you get the idea.” Chip said.

“So, that is what archery dudes do when they are bored. Weird.” Dustin said.

“That is nothing. One time, we used tires and…stop giving me that look, Tor. I am not trying to give anyone ideas.” Chip said as he looked her. She burst out laughing at Chip’s expression on his face.

“Dude, he is starting to recall Tori’s looks. He is becoming one of us.” Hunter said with a grin.

“Haha…very funny. Enough talking and show me how to shot this thing.” She said as she hit his shoulder.

“Okay…are you right or left handed?” Chip asked as he waved Tori over to where he was standing.

“I am right handed.” She said. Chip nodded his head as he picked a bow.

“Okay, Tori…put your feet over either side of the line. Straighten up your back. Good…Here is the arrow. Now, place it in the arrow in the arrow rest. The black thing…That is right. Pop it above the notch…the little gold thing. Good….now straight out your arm. Put three fingers under the arrow…don’t hold the arrow, Tor. Now…pull back…keep pulling….keeping pull.” Chip said calmly as she followed his directions. Her arms were starting to hurt.

“Keep pulling to your ear and then let go.” Chip said as she finally reached her ear. She left of the string and the arrow was flying. It hit blue ring of target.

“Yes!” She said with a grin.

“Good shot, Tor! You are like Hawkeye but a girl version.” Dustin said.

“She is more like Green Arrow.” Chip said.

“Here they go again.” Blake said.

“Well, we know if they are in trouble if they argue about Kinematics, Church-Turing thesis, or Zugzwang?” Cam said.

“Huh?” Dustin said.

“Why would we argue about a chess move, Cam?” Chip said in confusion. She tilted her head to see Cam’s face. She burst out laughing because it looked like he ate something funny. Everyone else started to laugh and chuckled as well.

“You understood what he said, dude?” Hunter said with amusement.

“Not…Kinematics…or that thesis thing. But I know what Zugswang is. It is a chess move made at the end of the game. You see, it is a move that puts the player at disadvantage and…” Chip said as he began to rambling on.

“Dude, teach me how to do that!” Dustin said as he looked over at Cam.

“Teach you chess?” Chip said with a confused look on his face. Cam gave Dustin an evil look.

“No, dude…how to make the look on Cam’s face!” Dustin said with a grin. She noticed Dustin completely ignoring Cam’s look.

“If you were to say anything intelligence Dustin and the look on my face wouldn’t be such a surprise.” Cam said.

“Dude, it isn’t my job to be smart.” Dustin said with a grin.

“You and me are going to play a game of chess in the near future. Now, give the right handed bow, Chip,” Cam said very calmly. He walked up to Chip and opened his hand.

“Okay….” Chip said he handed the bow to Cam. Cam took the bow and then he stringed the arrow. He pulled back the string and let the string go. The arrow flied and hit the yellow.

“My father taught me how to shoot. I will be in the car. It was nice to meet you. ” Cam said. He dropped the bow back into Chip’s hand before he walked away.

“Did I say something wrong?” Chip said with confusion.

“No…I think he likes you, Chip. He just upset that his dad pulled him away from his program,” Blake said.

“Okay….who’s next?” Chip said.

“I am!” Hunter said as he pushed out of line.

“Bro, wait your turn!” Blake said as Hunter bumped into him.

“I want to go next because there is a hot chick in the next line.” Hunter said as he pointed to the other lines.

“Where?” Shane said as he looked over.

“Dude, I am not telling you. I don’t want any competition.” Hunter said with a smirk.

“Bro, you are afraid,” Shane said.

“Am not.” Hunter said as he went to the arrow stand. Chip was trying not laugh when he handed the bow to Hunter.

“Are too,” Shane said with a grin as he folded his arms across his chest.

“Am not,” Hunter said as he tried to put the arrow on the bow. He dropped the arrow off of the ground, he picked it back up, and set back on the arrow rest.

“Are too.”

“Am not,” Hunter shouted as he turned his head. He nearly hit Chip with the bow when he was trying to pull back the sting.

“Can you guys argue after he shots the arrow?” Chip said as he caught the bow from hitting his face.

“Sorry, dude. I will be good.” Hunter said as he pulled back the string.

“Uhh…Hunter…you might want to….” Chip said as Hunter release the string. The arrow missed the target and the string hit his arm.

“Ouch!” Hunter said as he held his arm.

“Are you okay?” Chip asked as he took the bow and looked at Hunter’s arm.

“Is he okay?” Blake asked as he ran over.

“That hurts!” Hunter said as he rubbed his arm.

“It will just bruise. You got what we call an archery bite. If it still hurts later, puts some ice on it. It will feel better in no time. Word of advice, you were bending your arm. Keep it straight next time, okay?” Chip said kindly.

“Wonderful, bro. I learned a bow can bite.” Hunter grumbled to himself as he walked away toward the others.

“Think of this way, bro. You have a bruise to show the ladies,” Blake said. Hunter smiled at the thought.

“Thanks, bro. IF you excuse me…” Hunter said as he walked off.

“He is as bad as Xander.” Chip said with a grin. He watched Hunter for a moment before turning to the others.

“Well, that is my brother for you. Okay…it’s my turn,” Blake said as he took the bow from the bow stand and arrow.

“Okay…remember to keep your back straight. It is looking good to me. Okay…now…pull back.” Chip said as he watched Blake. She clapped when Blake hit the target. Blake walked back toward her while Shane said something to Chip.

“I am going to get some food, Tor. Hopefully, it wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. Do you want anything?” Blake said.

“Nahh…I am fine. I don’t want to miss Dustin shooting.” She said. Before she turned her head to watch Shane shoot, she wasn’t disappointed. Shane came up which amused her to no end. Shane kept knocking the arrow off the bow. Chip kept picking up it for him.

“Dude, this so isn’t working,” Shane said with annoyance.

“Here…let’s me. There…now try it.” Chip said as he put back the arrow on the bow. Shane pulled back the string and let go. The arrow hit the black ring on the target.

“YAY, it is my turn, dude!” Dustin said as he ran over to the stand and picked up the bow. Shane mumbled something that she couldn’t hear. Dustin just stuck out his tongue at Shane. Dustin started to wave his hand with the bow. Chip made him lower the bow and he calmly explained to Dustin what to do. She was amazed really. Chip had the patience of a saint when he was with Shane and Dustin. A normal person would have throw up their arms and screamed.

She watched in amusement as Chip finally got Dustin in the right position. Dustin pulled back the string and let go. The arrow hit the metal frame and bounce back landed right in of front of Dustin and Chip. Chip looked Dustin with an odd look. I couldn’t believe that just happened. What did Dustin do?

“Dude, that was so neat! I want to do it again.” Dustin said.

“You weren’t supposed to do that. You closed your eyes, didn’t you?” Chip said with amusement.

“Kind of…sort of…dude. How did you know, dude?” Dustin said as he scratched his head.

“I have seen it all. You could have hurt someone. Just try to keep them open next time, okay? ” Chip said.

“Sorry, dude.” Dustin said.

“That is…” Chip said before a kid cut him off and wanted to shoot.

“I see you later, dude.” Dustin said before he headed back over to her.

“Let’s go find the others and gets some food.” She said.

“Sound cool, Tor.” Dustin said. We push through the crowds toward the venders. She made sure that Chip was out of sight before she said anything.

“You can keep him,” She said with a grin.

“Huh?” Dustin said with a clueless look.

“He doesn’t look like he is out to destroy the world or take your bike.” She said.

“Tor, why would Chip take my bike? Why would I keep him? He is my friend.” Dustin said.

“Dustin…Have Shane explains it to you.” She said with a grin.

Takes Place Seven Months, Two Weeks From Mystic Force

Dustin growled as he turned on his computer. Today had to be the longest day ever. He was sore in places that he didn’t know he had. In his opinion, it wasn’t a good thing. He smelled like weeks old trash and he needed a new teacher uniform. Scary enough that will lead to another “discussion” about what happened today. He hated that word…discussion. It sounds like you are going to principal’s office, dude. He didn’t want that. A loud chime made him turned to the computer. He didn’t go on the internet.
Dude, he is so stupid. He left his AIM connected. He really didn’t feel like talking to anyone tonight.

SuperChip: HEY!

FreestyleDustin: Hey, dude.

SuperChip: How are you?

FreestyleDustin: Uhh…I am not good, dude.

SuperChip: Sorry….Uhh…would you like to talk about it?

FreestyleDustin: I rather not talk about it, dude.

SuperChip: Okay…how about I tell you about my day.

FreestyleDustin: Sure…why not, dude?

SuperChip: Well, it didn’t start out as good day. My cousin, Rose, had a bad nightmare. I tried every trick in the book I tried reading a book to her. I tried the glass of milk. I tried jokes. Nothing seemed to put her to sleep. So, I got the cure-all for everything.

FreestyleDustin: What is that?

SuperChip: My cape, of course.

FreestyleDustin: You have…a cape?

SuperChip: Of course, I have about three.

He took him a minute to process what he just typed then he burst out laughing. The image of Chip running around in a cape was so funny. For that reason, he could so image Chip doing it.

FreestyleDustin: Dude…that is so weird. Did it help?

SuperChip: Of course, it did. It works wonders in emergencies….to cheer up friends….to play with your cousins….to cheer up yourself up…oh, role playing….or when I am bored.

FreestyleDustin: LOL!

SuperChip: Now, come on, Dustin, you got have worn a cape to school.

FreestyleDustin: Well, I did a few times when I was elementary school. There is one time I wore my motocross suit to school once. But dude, I ran out of clean clothes. It was probably one of the cleanest things I own at the moment.

SuperChip: LOL!

FreestyleDustin: It isn’t funny, dude!

SuperChip: Yes, it is!

FreestyleDustin: This is from a guy that runs around in a cape!

SuperChip: I know but that is what makes it so funny…right?

He tried to stop laughing but he couldn’t. It made his already sore side and chest started to hurt again. All of the stress from today seemed too disappeared.

FreestyleDustin: Too true, dude.

SuperChip: Anyway, Uncle Danny woke me up and it was really late. I didn’t have time to change or eat breakfast. So, I went to school with the cape on.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you are still alive! Most people would have been dead if they wore a cape to school.

SuperChip: Not really. I have done it before.

FreestyleDustin: @.@

SuperChip: What?

FreestyleDustin: Dude…. ::bows.:: You have more courage than anyone I know.

SuperChip: LOL. You know it isn’t really courage…It just who I am. I am not going to change it because someone doesn’t like it.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you said something wise. I swear for a moment that I was talking to Sensei.

SuperChip: Sensei…Your teacher? You take martial arts! How cool, man. You never told me.

He growled softly. Stupid…STUPID! Now, he was really going to get it. No one was supposed to know. He shouldn’t be surprised. It is just the way that his day has been going.

FreestyleDustin: I am a teacher at a martial art school. It just never came up, dude.

SuperChip: Wow…You have taught me something when I visit next time or when you visit me!

FreestyleDustin: Uhh…maybe, dude…if we aren’t busy with anything else.

SuperChip: So, that where is your bad day come from, huh?

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I didn’t tell you anything.

SuperChip: Motorcycles don’t put you in a bad mood even when they are broken. So, it has to be something else.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, where is Chip and what did you do with him?

SuperChip: LOL! I am right here and no alien has kidnapped me. :-P

FreestyleDustin: You are going to bug me until I tell you, dude.

SuperChip: Yup.

FreestyleDustin: I did something I wasn’t supposed. I thought they were ready to learn this new move, dude. I didn’t check the ground first and well, I tried it. Well, my body felt like I was a bowling ball at a bowling alley. Uhh…::bangs his head on the desk.:: It would have been as bad if Sensei wasn’t watching. He didn’t say anything but he gave me that teacher look. You know the look that you did something wrong but the teacher isn’t going say it look. Oh, no, it has get worse, dude. The senior teachers were there. They were talking, dude. I know it, dude. I am in deep trouble.

SuperChip: If it is one incident, it shouldn’t be a problem.

FreestyleDustin: Well….

SuperChip: Uh oh.

FreestyleDustin: See, dude? I am in trouble. The whole thing with trash sucked too, dude.

SuperChip: Trash?

FreestyleDustin: I picked up the wrong bag…well, several of the wrong bags. Dude, it just made a mess and I had to clean up. Uhh….I stink, dude. I stink worse than when I rode my bike through a wet cow pasture.

SuperChip: <--Tries not to laugh but fails.

FreestyleDustin: That isn’t fun. Hunter did it too, dude!

SuperChip: LOL! I have done the same thing….but with a tractor and I got stuck. I had to get out and get it out of mud. It was definitely not something I want to do again.

FreestyleDustin: LOL!

SuperChip: :) Feel better?

FreestyleDustin: Yup…thanks, dude. One more thing….

SuperChip: Sure, what is it?

FreestyleDustin: You got to send me a picture of you in a cape.

End of School House Blues

A/N: I still have it. Whoa…especially after the last chapter! I still haven’t figure out to fix the last two chapters. Give me time and my muse will find a way. I have a few more things I want to touch on before I move into Mystic Force aka…Chip’s prom, his job at Rock Poruim, and Dustin visiting Chip! Yup…fun stuff. Anyway, Read and Review if you wish.

See Through Skies: It's Time To Rock

Disclaimer: >< No ownage here. Sorry.

Takes Place 7 Months Before Mystic Force

Sometimes, Chip didn’t know how he got involved in these things. Well, sometimes, he does since he is the one that volunteer to do it. It is usually the consequences that get him into trouble. This time, it was Vida’s fault….and Xander…and Maddie. Xander got a job at Rock Porium, a new cd store by the park. Since the owner needed more employees and Xander doesn’t like the work, he talked Vida into to work there. Now that he thought about it. It wasn’t really that.

It was more like discount cds and free hand at the DJ equipment were talking to her. Once Vida was hired, Xander approached Maddie. He knew that Maddie needed a new camera. Of course, he added the fact that she could film so many interesting people there. He got say that Xander could probably charm a snake out of a pot. When Xander approached him on the subject, he said no.

“I can’t, Xander. You know I can’t.” He said at school.

“Come on, mate. It is money and comic books,” Xander said.

“There are comic books?”

“Yup..loads.” Xander said with a grin.

A thought popped into his head and then he shook his head no.

“I still have archery season in full swing. Uncle Danny is starting to plant the new crop. Rose is just starting to settle in. I have no time for it, Xander. I’m sorry.”

“Come on, mate. You can make your own schedule. Major plus…you could hang out with us, mate.”

“You make it sound like I don’t hang out with you already, Xander.”

“Quality time with your friends is always a good thing.” Xander said. He started to laugh.

“You are really avoiding work. So, who is the girl?”

“Girls…they are plural! Beside, I am the assistant manager. I am supposed observe the employees and the costumers.” Xander said with a grin.

“Uh..huh…I’m sorry, Xan. Maybe, when off season is here, I help. But right now…I can’t. I promise to buy all of my comic books from you.” He said as he patted Xander’s shoulder.

“At least, I get your allowance.” Xander said.

“Since you are the one always borrowing it?” He said with a grin.

“HEY!” Xander shouted.

He laughed as he shook the memory out of his head. He blinked as he heard a chime from his computer.

FreestyleDustin: Hey, dude! How are you?

SuperChip: Uhh…it has been one of those strange days.

FreestyleDustin: What happened?

SuperChip: I got a job. I am not quite sure how I got it.

FreestyleDustin: Congs! Uhh…How you got the job? You apply for it…or you know….you know a dude…that knows a dude…and they got you the job.

SuperChip: Is that how you got your job at the Storm Chargers?

FreestyleDustin: No…that is how Hunter got a job there.

SuperChip: LOL.

FreestyleDustin: So, how did you get this job?

SuperChip: Well, you see, I went into get my comic book fix.

FreestyleDustin: Oh…what issues did you picked up?

SuperChip: I picked up JLA, Spiderman, and ohh…new Dark Horse comic….I can’t remember its name.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you have to pick up the new X-Men. It totally rocks!

SuperChip: I didn’t have enough money. I will pick up it when I get pay? ::Still confused.::

FreestyleDustin: LOL…okay…tell me what happened.

SuperChip: Well, you see…I went into the Rock Porium that is where my friends work…it is like a cd place with comic books. Anyway, I went inside….

“This place looks great, guys,” He said as he entered the shop. He must say that he like what he saw. It wasn’t like Wal-mart or book stores. It had a comfortable feel to it. It was still early in the morning and there were no costumers in sight. Madison smiled at him as she looked up from the cd racks. Vida doing playing the DJ equipment and Xander was reading a magazine in a chair.

“Thanks. Me and Vida decorate it. Xander was busy hitting on the girl who drove the truck,” Madison said as she points at Xander who was sitting in his chair.

“Hey, I got us a discount!” Xander said from his magazine.

“He got us a coupon for the next time we need to move,” Madison said with a grin.

“That is a great welcome present…I think,” He said with a grin.

“Okay…let me give you the tour,” She said as she grabbed his arm.

“But…” He said as he looked over at the comic book racks.

“Tour now…comic books later,” She said.

“But…I can see everything from here…Oh…records…you know that you can make good backs to slingshots and Frisbees. Of course, my aunt and uncle didn’t like it very much,” He said happily as he picked up a record. She gently took the record from his hand and put it back.

“Uhh…no, Chip....no playing with the merchandise,” She said as she dragged him from the records’ rack.

“This is our DVD section,” She said as she waves her hand over the DVDs.

“No anime?” He said with a frown as he looked over the dvds.

“You download most of your anime stuff or watch it on Youtube. But if you must know, we are working on that. Toby hasn’t got them in yet,” She said.

“Hey, I may want to own a few copies! Anyway, who is Toby?” He asked.

“Toby is the owner and he is in the office,” She said pointed over to the office.

“Oh….HEY!” He said as he gets drag to cd section.

“Here is the cd section,” She said as she waved her hand over the section. He walked over and stared at the titles and singers. He had no clue who these people were.

“Sorry, Chip…I don’t think Toby does imports. No weird Japanese singers here.” Xander said as he looked up from his magazine.

“I know that. I thought you like Gackt.” He said as he continued to flip through the cds.

“They aren’t supposed to know about that.” Xander said with a groan.

“Come on…it could be the band that Maddi…,” He was about to said until Maddie cut him off.

“Come on, Chip…I show you V’s section.” She said happily. She still didn’t remove her hand from his mouth as she dragged him over to Vida on a stage. Vida looked up from her levers and smiled.

“Hey, Chip. About to spill the dirt on that little rock group, huh?” Vida said with a grin.

“I don’t know what so bad about them…beside the whole cat costumes. Anyway, what are you working on?” He asked. She smirked as she slipped the head phones on his head.

Come on…I want you to hear this. It is my latest.” Vida said as she flipped on a switch.

He made a face as he heard a loud screaming sound.

“AHh…V! Too loud!” He said as he tried to get the headphones off.

“Sorry….Try it now,” She said as she turned it down. The screaming was still there…but it wasn’t too bad. The song has a good beat....the screaming is weird. It sounded like the banshees were having a bad day.

“Not bad, V. I could do without the screaming” He said as he removed the headphones.

“It’s the new club thing,” She said with a shrug.

“Lack of ear drums?” He said.

“But that isn’t it either!” A voice said. He looked over to a little girl arguing with Maddie. The little girl had a comic book in her hand. Poor Maddie looked lost.

“I think I go help Maddie, V.” He said as he stepped down from the stage. Slowly, he walked over to Maddie.

“Hey, Maddie…you look like you need some help,” He said.

“Yes, I do. She is looking for a comic book. I don’t have a clue what she is looking for,” Maddie said.

“Hey…I am here to help. Okay, first…Marvel or DC?” He asked.

“Marvel.” The little girl said.

“Team or Solo?” He said.

“By himself….but he always have other people.” The little girl said as she shook her head.

“Red?” He asked.

“Nope…he is different colors!” The little girl waved her hands around.

“It’s Hulk.” He said. The little girl’s face lighted up.

“That is it! You are great. Do you read Captain America? X-Men? Spiderman? My brother always reads about smelly Batman. He says that I am too young to understand. I am old enough. I am a whole nine years old!” The little girl said as she waved her hands around.

“Sara, come on. Let’s get your comic book and let’s go. We have to pick up your brother,” A woman said at the counter.

“Bye-Bye, Mister!” The little girl said as she ran off.

“That was good work.” A voice said behind him. He nearly jumped up in surprise and turned around to see a guy with frizzy brown hair and weirdest shirt he ever seen.

“Uhh…Thanks…I think,” He said.

“Hey, boss….this is Chip. He is a friend of ours,” Xander said.

“And he always wants a job here,” Vida said as she threw her arm over his shoulder.

Wait a minute…what is she talking about? Hey! No…VIDA!

“You seemed to be good at comic books. Any retail experience?” Toby asked.

“No…wait a...,” He said but was cut off by Vida.

“Sorry, boss. He doesn’t…but I am sure that I and Xander can show him the ropes,” Vida said happily.

“But…I…,” He was about to say again.

“Good. You bring in your SN card and any form of id. We can get started on the paper work tomorrow,” Toby said.

“But I…have archery…and help my family….and my mom...,” He said.

“No worries. I am flexible. Welcome aboard and the rest of you get back to work!” Toby said as he shook his hand before returning to his office. He turned around to the others.

“You planned this!” He said.

“Of course, you wouldn’t have done it without a little help.” Vida said.

“The little girl sure helped your case.” Xander said.

“But…I don’t need a job,” He said softly.

“Think of this way…you get paid to read comic books and 10 percent off them if you decide to buy them.” Xander said. He patted his shoulder and goes back to his chair.

“Best part is that you get to work with your best friends.” Maddie said with a grin as she walked over to them.

His mind went back and forward on the issue. Comic books and hanging out with your friends on one hand. The other hand, his free time will be shot out the window.

“Fine…Fine! You guys win…Lets me call mom to see if she knows where my social security is,” He said with a little grin.

SuperChip: There you go, Dustin. How I got my job at the Rock Porium.

FreestyleDustin: LOL! Dude, I got to meet your friends.

SuperChip: You will. ^.^

FreestyleDustin: Can’t wait, dude. Can’t wait, dude.

End of It is Time To Rock!

Takes Place 6 months before Mystic Force

“Dustin…is there a problem?” Cam said.

“Dude, you are growling and mumbling to yourself.” Dustin said as he stopped typing. He looked over at Cam, who was sitting across from him, at his computer.

“I am just having problem with a program.” Cam said as he ran his hand through his hair.

“Okay…if you say so, dude.” He said. He goes back to his computer.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, Cam making groaning noises.

SuperChip: Why?

FreestyleDustin: Don’t know, dude. I think he is having problems with a program.

SuperChip: Really? He sure likes to multi-task a lot.

FrestyleDustin: Tell me about it because I can’t multi task, dude. Bad things happened when I do. Uhh…like the tv dinner burning in the microwave or the phone got wash in the dishwater. I am so not good at multi tasking thing. Doing one thing at a time is enough for me.

SuperChip: LOL.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, that isn’t funny. I don’t see you being any better.

SuperChip: Well…I get side track easily…sometimes.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, we went from talking about Rock Porim to wondering who would win in a Batman vs. Wolverine fight. My vote is still Batman.

SuperChip: No…No…we aren’t going there again. >.> My vote is for Wolverine but that is beside the point. When things are interesting, I can pay attention. If it is boring…well…that is another story.

FreestyleDustin: I am the same way, dude.

SuperChip: CHECK!

FreestyleDustin: Huh?

SuperChip: Sorry…wrong im box. I am playing chess.

FreestyleDustin: Winning, dude?

SuperChip: At the moment, yes. But with chess, anything can happen.

FreestyleDustin: Chess is too boring for me. I don’t know how you do it, dude.

SuperChip: Chess is like a puzzle to me…that is different every time you play. The other person is creating a puzzle for you to solve as you do the same for them with each move. Whoever solves the puzzle first…they win. Sometimes, you win and sometimes, you lose. Uhh…I lose you…did I?

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you lose me at chess.

SuperChp: Sorry. 

FreestyleDustin: It is okay, dude. I ramble enough about Freestyle. How did you get into chess?

SuperChip: My mom taught me. For some reason, it stuck with me. I am in chess club at school too. My mom is always been amused by that for some reason.

FreestyleDustin: hehe….Dude, I thought I was busy. You have me beat.

SuperChip: You haven’t seen busy. Go to one of my family reunion.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I seriously doubt your family reunions are that bad.

SuperChip: I have a large enough family to populate a small town.

FreestyleDustin: Damn…dude, what if our two families meet and…dude! We could take over the world. Wait a minute…never mind that is never very fun. We have enough crazy monsters wanting to do that anyway.

SuperChip: Tell me about it. It seems to be quiet now.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, don’t jinx it! Those last things you need to start saying because then the monsters start attacking. Then your school gets attacked…and then your teacher gets turned into a hamster….wait a minute…a guinea pig. And….oh! Wrong IM!

SuperChip: o.0 Okay…..

FreestyleDustin: You see me and another friend were talking about a comic book…no…an old cartoon. That is it. Sorry, dude.

SuperChip: Oh, what is the cartoon?

FreestyleDustin: That is what me and my friend were trying to figure out.

SuperChip: Ooooh….

Dustin heard a mumble and a loud groan from where Cam was working.

“Dude, maybe, you should take a break.” he said.

“Dustin…if I leave right now, I am going to have bigger issues when I come back.” Cam said as bangs on his hand on the table.

“Okay…” he said. He was almost wanted to go over to see what Cam was doing. He probably shouldn’t because he would have no clue what was on the screen and he would get annoyed. Better to stay over here, dude.

FreestyleDustin: No worries, dude. We will figure it out. SO, how has work?

SuperChip: Uhh…interesting…Do costumers always ask weird questions?

FreestyleDustin: Sometimes, dude. I had a guy try to tell us that we sold dishwater parts. Uhh…I had to get Kelly help out, dude. It was rank up there with the weird.

SuperChip: That does sound weird. Most of the time, I give the music questions to Vida and the dvd questions to Maddie. Well…uhh…the weird ones…that is usually a group effort.

FreestyleDustin: What was the question, dude?

SuperChip: Uhh….do we sell bread?

FreestyleDustin: What?

SuperChip: That was the question.

FreestyleDustin: Did the dude realize that it was record shop?

SuperChip: I have no clue. He left before I could the answer. I was in shock. So, was Maddie. I almost wanted to go after the guy to see alright but he disappears before I could find him. To make sure he wasn’t on…anything…illegal.

FreestyleDustin: LOL!

SuperChip: What? I was worry…after the shock went away.

FreestyleDustin: I would have no clue what do.

SuperChip: Honestly…me either.

FreestyleDustin: So…beside the whole weird costumers, enjoy it?

SuperChip: Love it. Comics, friends, and kids that know what I am talking about. Best job ever.

FreestyleDustin: LOL.

SuperChip: Checkmate! YAY, I beat him this time!

FreestyleDustin: You won?

SuperChip: Yup.

Dustin heard a loud grumble and he finally looked up at Cam. He was looking at the computer like it was evil, dude. Wow…the computer must really made Cam angry. Finally, he got up from his chair and walked over to Cam. Just to see what he was doing.

His mouth nearly dropped.

“Dude, you are talking to Chip.” He asked.

“No, I am playing chess with him.” Cam said.

“Dude…and you lost?” He said in shock.

“Yes, I lost and yes, it happens from time to time…is there a problem with that?” Cam said.

”Wow…dude…we should get a camera. Because dude, no one would believe it expect sensei.” He said.

“Dustin!” Cam said as he got up from his chair.

“What?” he said. He blinked his eyes slowly once he realized what was going to happen. He took off before anything happened.

A few seconds later, he remembered he forgot to tell Chip he would be right back.

He is sure that Chip will understand especially after he explained the Cam’s evil look.

End of Cheering from Sidelines

Next Chapter: Fear and Failures

A/N: TAA-DAA! I promise a chess chapter and did it. Anyone who has or is working retail knows about weird questions. I got the famous bread question…and I work at a craft store. Thanks everyone for the reviews. As always read and review if you wish.

[nextgreendragon]

[Bionic Red]

Cam was getting his butt kicked by Chip while Chip was talking to Dustin...

He should be able to live it down in time for his third Grandchild's wedding.

See Through Skies: Fears and Failures

Disclaimer: I don’t own you. ;.;

Takes Place 5 Months Before Mystic Force

Dustin couldn’t sleep. He has been staring at the ceiling for the last 30 minutes. Dude, he really needed to change his posters. Maybe, he needed a new view. He turned over to his side and stared at the floor. His eyes drifted to few yellow shirts, the large amount of cola cans, freestyle magazines, snack wraps…Dude, he really needed to clean his room. He goes back to lying on his back and stared at the ceiling again. Dude, this so isn’t helping. He glanced over at his clock. Dude, it is 2:30 in the morning. He had to teach class tomorrow. He needed to go to sleep. But dude, he so couldn’t! He sighed and sat up on the bed.

It has been like this for the last few days and it is driving him nuts. Either he can’t sleep or it is stupid nightmares. Yes, it was stupid nightmares because dude, he got over his fear of falling a long time ago. He does Freestyle! He had practice yesterday and his fear didn’t pop up in his head one bit! Every time he went to sleep…the familiar feeling pull forward. The speed on how quickly the ground become bigger and bigger. He could feel his heart in his throat. He waves his arms and legs…hoping for it to stop. Then….he woke up. He would shot up in his bed, dude. He was breathing like after one of Sensei’s punishments and he felt his heart about to burst. The major bummer was he couldn’t go back to sleep afterwards.

He talked over with Sensei and his friends about it. He tried meditation and dude, he fell asleep. Then Cam woke him up and gave him a lecture about falling sleep on the table. Then he tried exercise to wear himself out, dude. The only thing that did was make him sore. And his friends tried doing this therapy like thing. Dude, it was like crazy. Tori made one scary therapy type person, dude. He never been to therapy, dude…and now, he really never want to go to one. He crawled out of bed and headed for the computer. Maybe, after he blew stuff up, dude…he could go to sleep. He turned on his computer and set his head down on the edge of the desk.

Maybe, if he started to count sheep, dude.

Nahh, dude…that never worked. It only made him hungry later.

He lifted up his head to look at his computer. He blinked at the screen. Dude, Chip was on. Why was he on this late? He clicked onto Chip’s name.

FreestyleDustin: Dude?

SuperChip: Dustin? What are you doing up so late?

FreestyleDustin: Dude, look who’s talking!

SuperChip: I don’t have to work tomorrow and school is off. So, it’s gaming time! Right now, I am playing Starcraft.

FreestyleDustin: Dude…hook me up and I play with you.

SuperChip: hehe…hold on and I had to help Justin with a science project that is due next week. Anyway, what are you doing up?

FreestyleDustin: Couldn’t sleep, dude.

SuperChip: Ahh…Did you try counting sheep or drinking a glass of milk?

FreestyleDustin: Dude…the counting sheep thing always makes me hungry. I would probably add the glass of milk to it.

SuperChip: LOL!

FreestyleDustin:-P

SuperChip: I could give you more suggestions but….they require running around in a cape and singing off camp songs.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you are joking.

SuperChip: Nope…It helps get their minds off the nightmares especially if they don’t want to talk about it.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, you are a better therapy person than Tori. She was going to make me do weird stuff like no eating before bed. But, dude…what if I’m hungry!

SuperChip: LOL!

FreestyleDustin: And dude…what if I have my friends over and stuff? I need to feed them too…and you have to eat with them, dude.

SuperChip: LOL! I know…I know. So, what was your nightmare about?

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I didn’t say anything!

SuperChip: I just got lucky. I got cousins, remember? I have some inner cousin radar thing going on. So, are you going to tell me?

FreestyleDustin: Dude, it’s silly.

SuperChip: It is silly enough to keep you awake.

FrestyleDustin: Dude…you got stop channeling Tor. It is creepy. But…it’s stupid, dude. I got over it a long time ago. But every night, dude…I dream that I am falling and almost hitting the ground.

SuperChip: You fear falling?

FreestyleDustin: It probably has to do with the first time that I was on a bike, dude. When I was about nine, my uncle let me try out the bike for the first time. It was great, dude…until I lost control of the bike and fell off on
