Traci's POV
I've been living with the samurai rangers for a year now. I like having real friends and a boyfriend. I've been keeping a secret from my new friends, though. Ji is the only one who knows that I have dyslexia. I always go off to train by myself because I'm afraid that they'll laugh at me if I make a mistake. I'm taking a break from my training. I'm walking in the woods on the shortcut route to the mall in Harwood County. I stumble upon a cave, and my curiosity gets the best of me.
I walk into the cave and see all sorts of things. The first thing is a queen size blow up mattresses complete with bed sheets and pillows near the back of the cave. A twin size mattress along the left wall three feet of so away from the entrance to the cave. There are two nightstands next to each mattress each has an alarm clock on them. I walk over the one of the shelves hanging on the wall closest to me. The writing on the frame is what scares me the most says the teams we must destroy. The pictures inside are of the samurai rangers and a new set of Rangers I've never seen before. I exit the cave and go back to the Shiba house to tell Ji what I found.
Normal POV
Traci returns to Panorama City. She walks through the gate and inside the house. She nervously walks into the living room seeing the team having a meeting. She sits down on the empty chair next to Antonio.
"Hey, Traci, why are you so nervous?" Kevin asks
"I found a cave outside Harwood County. It looked like a family been living in it. There is one thing that scared me." Traci says.
"What is that?" Ji asks.
"They're planning to destroy our team and another team of rangers too." she answers.
"I think we should go undercover at the high school," Jayden suggests.
"I don't think that's such a good idea. What if there is a nighlok attack while we're in school," Antonio says.
"Good point Antonio. Plus, we get in trouble for using a cell phone in class," Traci adds.
"Traci, I think just you should go." Ji says. "You're not doing this just for everyone in Harwood country needs you to do this," Ji says.
"I know you're right, I'll do it," Traci says.
"Good, I'll register you at Harwood County High," Ji says.
"What's for dinner," Mike asks.
"Wow, this conversation just made a wide left turn," Traci says.
"I'm making grilled tilapia," Ji says.
"Sweet," Mike says.
After dinner, Traci is sitting on the bench looking up at the stars. The chirping of the crickets isn't helping to calm her nervous thoughts about going back to school.
Aunt Adrienne, I wish you were here, I really could use one of your pep talks right now.
Antonio decides to check on his girlfriend since she had told him how mean the other students were when she went to school in Tennesee. He goes over to her and places his hand on her shoulder. She looks up at him and says,"You're worried about this whole plan aren't you,"
"Yeah, I wish Ji would let me go undercover too," Antonio admits.
"You could ask him. I mean having you there might help me find the information faster," Traci says.
"I'll ask him tomorrow," Antonio says.
"I should go to bed. I shouldn't start my first day undercover at Hardwood County High half asleep." Traci says.
"You could then everyone wouldn't suspect a thing since you'd look like an actual student." Antonio jokes.
