I don't own Power Rangers or any of the characters so far. They are owned by Disney.

Sydney Drew wandered the streets of New Tech City aimlessly, thinking about her life in general. Normally, she wouldn't go out this late at night, especially since it was against the rules at SPD, but she couldn't help it. There was so much going on in her life, she didn't know what to think of it. Her secret was still unknown to her teammates and she intended to keep it that way. If they found out about what was happening to her and what had been happening to her, then they would only make things worse. She didn't want that.

" Maybe I should tell them..." she whispered to herself while she was walking past a diner that was still open. " No. They can't know. They can never know."

Looking down at the bruises on her arm, she sighed. It wasn't right what he did to her. She was a grown woman for God's sake! Yet, he still continued on doing it. Syd couldn't tell him to stop though... If she did, he would make her hurt more, and he would be ashamed of her.

" I guess I should be getting back." Syd murmered. As the Pink Ranger made her way back to SPD Headquarters, she thought about all the times this had happened...and all the times she could have stopped it.

" Syd!" Z yelled as she made her way over to her teammate.

Syd smiled. She and Z had become good friends over the last couple of months. " I'm here!"

" You ready for this? I mean, I know we run the obstacle course all the time, but it never gets old."

" I know what you mean!" Syd laughed. " Let's go over to the guys."

Z and Syd made their way over to Sky, Jack, and Bridge, who were all standing near the beginning of the course.

" Syd? Isn't it a little hot to be wearing long sleeves and sweatpants?" Jack questioned. It was a pretty hot day in New Tech CIty, and everyone else was in a t-shirt and shorts. It made the Red Ranger a little suspicious.

Syd's eyes went wide. She didn't think anyone would ask her any questions. " I...ummm...it's..." she stuttered. Everyone looked straight at her. " I wanted to make a fashion statement!" She hoped they all believed her because she didn't have any other excuse.

" Makes sense to me!" Z finally said. " Whatever you wanna do Syd."

The Pink Ranger sighed in relief. They bought it. She made her way over to the course, the others following. No matter how much her body told her not to do the course, she had to do it to avoid suspicion. It was the only way her secret would remain a secret.

Please review! I know it was a short chapter, but it's only the beginning. Don't be afraid to tell me if you didn't like it or anything. Be honest. Thanks again!
