Summary: Dustin is supposed to be the goofy one, the one that just doesn't have problems. But guess what? He does.

Author's Note: Each chapter either includes a flashback or is a flashback. Does everybody get that?

            It wasn't like anyone was supposed to know about what was going on in my life. Nobody asked so I never told. I guess it wasn't their fault at all. They all just assumed that I had a happy-go-lucky life. And in a way I did. At least until the day my sister came back into my life. Everything seemed to go downhill from there. No one else ever really suspected it because it was just way too out of character for me. Or maybe they did and refused to believe that I had problems too. My little sister was a really sweet girl, not that anyone would be able to tell just by looking at her. But that's what really pissed me off. Everyone judged her at a first glance.

*~*

            "Dustin, where are you going?" my mom asked me after school one day. I turned slowly and glanced at my mom.

            "I'm going to Storm Chargers. I told Kelly I'd be able to fit in another shift for her today for extra money."

            She sighed.

            "What? What did I do this time?"

            "Nothing. I was just hoping you would be home for dinner."

            "Why? It's okay mom, I'll just grab something to eat."

            "No we have guests tonight. Oh, alright. I'll just bring her over to see you."

            "Who?"

            "It's a surprise," she cracked a smile, "If I told you, it wouldn't be such a surprise would it?" I rolled my eyes and flew out the door.

            "Dustin! Can you bring out another box of riding gloves? We're running a little short on the mediums!" Kelly shouted from the front of the store. I dropped my wrench and wiped my hands on my jeans before headed into the storage room to grab a box of gloves.

            "Here you go, Kell," I dropped the box on the front counter and smiled politely at a few guests that she was helping out. I nodded to Blake and Hunter who had come into the store carrying more boxes, heading to the storage room. Tori and Shane jumped down from their position on the front counter to help them. I started working on the broken motor bike once again. A few minutes later I heard the bells jingle signaling someone else came into the store.

            "Hello, Mrs. Baker!" everyone chorused. I froze. The surprise. I'd completely forgotten about it. I raced out to the front, "Hi mom!" I skidded to a stop in front of her and halted in mid-hug. The girl standing behind my mother. She was my sister.

            "Chloe?!" I stepped back.

            "Dustin?" the younger girl replied, shying away from my—our—mother.

            "DUSTIN!" she exclaimed, flying into my arms, "I missed you so much!"

            "I missed you too, Chloe…" I murmured into her reddish hair, "I see you changed your hair preference."

            "I might change it again. I'm getting a little sick of red," she wrinkled her nose, "What do you think? Blue? Or pink?"

            "I think you should just let it be your natural hair color."

            "I forgot what that is," she shrugged, "But I guess I could try brown for a little while, see how I like it."

            "You do that." We shared a laugh. I hadn't seen my sister for such a long time and I didn't realize how much I really missed her until I saw her again.

            "Hey, Kelly, Tori, Shane, Hunter, Blake!" I called. They all looked up, even though I knew they were watching the whole time, "Dude, this is my sister. Chloe. That's Shane, Tori, Hunter, and Blake." I introduced everyone.

            "Hi," was the general scattered reply.

            "Nice to meet you," Chloe responded politely before turning to me, "So do you still motocross or what?"

            "I still motocross."

            "That's good to know. Maybe I could watch you practice some time soon."

            "That would be totally awesome! Hey, did you bring your guitar? I think I might remember some drums or something like that."

            Chloe bit back a light snort, "I hate to tell you this, but you never exactly knew how to play." There were snickers from all around me. I blushed furiously.

            "Yeah, yeah…but did you have to tell everyone?"

            "Whatever."

            "So how's school treating you?"

            "Horrible. I hate it with a passion."

            "Dude, you'd love it at Blue Bay Harbor High, I'm telling you!"

            "Too bad I got kicked out," she pointed out dryly.

            "Oh…right…" Chloe rolled her eyes and punched me lightly. It felt so good to have my sister back. She was probably the closest person I had to a best friend. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love all the other rangers. But my sister just understands me more. She gets it. But from the looks on everyone else's face, they weren't happy that she did.

*~*

            I never meant for everything to get so fucked up. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. It just happened and I never wanted anyone to get hurt. But then again, this is me we're talking about. Dustin Baker. And when it comes to me, everything gets fucked up.

Please review! I know this was a short chapter, but there's more to come if you want it!!
