Rose Gone Rogue

Chapter 1: The Deception of Peace

The Overdrive gang was relaxing in the living room when Spencer came in. "Might I suggest you do something with the free time you have. Mr. Hartford is hard at work trying to find the location of the key that opens that chest you discovered yesterday. And when he finds it and asks for you to retrieve it, there is no doubting you will find resistance. You should take advantage of this free time, since I highly doubt you will be granted again it anytime soon. " When Spencer didn't received a response, he huffed at their laziness and abruptly left.

Ronny gave a loud sigh. "What now?" She asked, looking around at the others.

"Well, I for one don't want to go for another picnic." Tyzonn announced, remembering that was the day the Fear Cats almost finished him off. 'If it hadn't been for Norg who knows what would have happened.' he thought.

Mack kept quiet, recalling that was the day he boasted about all the great outdoor adventures him and his dad had. 'What a joke. It wasn't even real – I'm not real. I hate picnics. I hate him!' Mack thought folding his arms in front of him. It was silent for a few moments.

Rose stood up then "I'm going for a walk. I think. . ." putting her index finger to her chin ". . .on the beach." Everyone starred dumbfounded at her. It wasn't like Rose, normally she would declare she was going to read a book and would leave the group to be in solitude, usually locking herself up in her room. Rose turned to leave, when Dax jumped up.

"Wait up Rose! I'll come. I need to get out. I'm totally bored" He added.

"Anyone else?" Rose inquired. Everyone else shook their heads.

"I think I'm gonna work on the zords." Ronny said getting up off the couch.

"I was going to go downtown and get a new ipod. Mine got destroyed during training." Will said glaring at Mack, who had crushed it when they were training together. Mack didn't notice though, as he just stared out the glass doors that lead to the balcony outside.

"I'm actually hungry. I think I'm gonna make myself some lunch." Tyzonn told all his friends.

"Why not have Spencer do it?" Will asked.

"No, that's okay. I like to cook. It's . . . relaxing. And I need to relax after all that's gone on." Tyzonn explained, everyone nodding in agreement.

"And I'm gonna watch TV." Mack said with an empty tone. 'Oh, Mack. I wish I could do something to help you. But ever since you – we found out you were an android. . . you've been distancing yourself from us . . . from me. I don't know why, but you have. I wish you could see that you being an android doesn't change anything. Maybe with time you'll see it.' Rose looked over at Mack, who was in his own world. The red ranger turned the TV on, but Rose highly doubted he was watching it.

"Alright. Let's go then." Rose finished.

"I'll walk out with ya." Will told the pink and blue ranger, getting up off the couch.

They were outside, when they parted ways. As Will grabbed his helmet and straddled his motorcycle, he peered over at Dax and Rose. He raised his eyebrows in curiosity as he watched Dax look over his shoulder to say something to Rose, who was settling herself in on his quad. Rose wrapped her arms around Dax tightly, and not a moment sooner Dax revved up his quad and took off, kicking up dirt as he and Rose sped away. Will watched the two round the bend until he couldn't see them anymore. 'Why didn't they take the jeep? There would have been more room. Hmm. Unless. . . no, not those two. Although, for friends they were awfully cozy with each other.' Will sat on his bike a few more minutes pondering about what he just saw. 'I'll have to keep an eye on those two.' He concluded with a smirk on his face before taking off himself and heading downtown
