POW!
In a flash the 16 year old boy was on the pavement of the training area looking up at his 17 year old sister. She held out her hand to help him up. He took her hand and she swiftly lifted him up.
"Did you really have to hit me so hard, D?" he asked.
The tall and skinny girl shrugged her shoulders. "You'll never be your best if I go easy on you, Nathan" she said calmly.
"Whatever" he mumbled
Danielle got back into her stance. "Aren't you going to get in your stance?" she asked.
"C'mon Danielle, we've been at this since 7 a.m. It's almost 5; I think it's time to stop."
Danielle was about to open her mouth to speak up then she remembered she had to go to the Library.
"I guess you're right I've gotta go meet up with Raven (Pink Ranger) anyways."
Nate looked relieved, and dashed into the house, but not with out knocking over the plant.
Danielle sighed and rolled her eyes. She was oh so crazy booked with school, training, and cheerleading; and Raven is asking her to get a boyfriend? If she wanted a breakdown she would love to go boyfriend hunting.
The know-it-all cheerleader stepped into the shower and turned on the faucet. She sighed in delight as she felt the beads of hot water on her skin. She spent about 5 minutes just standing there.
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Danni, hurry up; I'm about to go to Adam's (Green Ranger) house"
"Piss off Nathan; I just got in."
"Well hurry up, or else I'm kicking this door down."
Danni closed her eyes and huffed as she applied shampoo to her straight and long hair.
"Took you long enough" Nate said with annoyance as his older sister stepped out of the bathroom in a red towel. Danielle glared at her brother.
"When are you gonna learn patience, Nathan?" Nate glared back then smiled.
"When you stop acting like there's a stick up your ass, Danielle"
Danielle stuck up her nose and walked away without a word while Nate just smiled victoriously.
Danni would have said something back, but then it would have turned into a one hour back and forth argument, and she did not have the time or patience for that crap. Danielle got dressed in a plain red T, blue skinny jeans, a white knit sweater, and white Nikes. "DANNI" she heard mother call her from her from downstairs. "COMING" she yelled as fled her room while putting her hair in a mid- ponytail. She ran down the stairs swiftly to see her mom, Emily in a white shirt and yellow pants with wedged heels. "Hi Mom" she greeted. Emily smiled at her daughter. "Hi honey, I'm meeting some parents in about an hour so can you drop your brother off at Adam's house. 'HELL NO, HE SAID THERE WAS A STICK UP ASS.' Danielle would have said that, but she knew it was wrong. "But Mom, I have to hurry up and get to the library-" "Yeah, but you can call Raven and tell her that you're gonna be late." 'You just don't want to go to Mike's house because you're still mad at him for what happened 20 FREAKING YEARS AGO' (Read 'Is She Really Going Out With Him')Danielle thought blocking out her mothers rant about how she should drop off her brother. "Fine" Danni said cutting Emily off. "Just tell him that I'm waiting in the car, and if he's not out in 7 minutes and 44 seconds I'm leaving with out him." Emily smiled "Thank you, Danni" she said.
Danielle opened the door to her red Camry when she heard her dad, Jayden call out to her. "DANNI!" Danielle looked back and saw Detective Shiba's police car and smiled. "Hi Dad" She said happily.
Danielle was always happy to see Jayden. Ever since she was a little girl they had so much in common, and she could talk to him about almost everything.
"Hey D, where you heading?" he asked
"I'm supposed to be meeting up with Raven at the library, but Mom asked me to drop Nathan off at Adam's."
"So where is your mom?"
"She went to meet up with her students' parents."
"Ah"
"Why are you home so early, you said you'd be working late tonight?"
Jayden ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair at the thought of all the paper-work he has to finish.
"I have got a lot of paper-work to finish so…" Jayden trailed of his sentence
Danielle gave him a warm smile and a pat on the shoulder.
"So how does it feel to be officially the red ranger in 3 months?" Jayden asked
"I'm ready, I've always has been. I mean I've trained for this since I was 11. I know all the moves, the symbols, and all of the meditating techniques you taught me."
Jayden knew Danielle was more nervous than what she puts on; he just decided not to say anything. He probably should have never asked about that right now in the first place. Danni is about to graduate High School in 3 weeks. She has exams, final games, and all that extra credit essays and projects.
"Just don't worry about Samurai business right now, worry about your school, and your prom."
Danielle's round blue eyes flickered to Jayden with a flash of panic.
"HOLY SHIT!" she exclaimed
Jayden's similar blue eyes widened at his daughters outburst.
"PROM! I totally forgot about that, I need a dress, and a DATE!"
"Your prom is a week away; you've got plenty of time."
Danni relaxed a little and nodded "Yeah you're right. Sorry I'm just über burned, good thing I dealt with the whole drama and that psycho teacher." Danni almost shuddered at the reminder of the traumatizing experience she went through two years ago.
"Okay; I'm ready, let's bounce."
Jayden and Danni turned their heads to see Nate wearing a black T-shirt that said 'NIKE' across it and yellow basketball shorts with his skinny arms caring a backpack and his dirty blonde hair a little damp.
"Hey Dad" the awkward boy said with a smile.
Jayden smiled back and waved at him. "Well I guess I should let you two go; I've got work to do." He said leaving the two siblings alone.
*Awkward Silence*
"Get into the car before I take the stick out of my ass and beat you mercifully with it." Danni threatened as she got into the drivers seat.
Nate mimicked her as he slid into the passengers' seat.
3 3 3
Danni saw a sign that said Rodeo Dr. and took a turn on it.
"Did you fill out your papers for the online classes you're taking next year?" She asked
Nate looked at her and nodded. "Yeah, why"
"I don't know, I'm just trying to make conversation?"
"Don't do that."
Danielle pressed the gas so she would get to Adams house quicker, and avoid the awkward silence. She wondered what was wrong with Nate; he always had some random to fact to state.
"You know you can never get a fart?"
And there it was.
"No Nathan; please explain to me what you mean." Danielle said half amused.
"Well if it's loud you can here it, but if it's silent you can smell it. Seriously those things are like ninja's they-" Nate got cut off by Danni's laughing. He looked at her like she was a lune. He had to admit his sister's laugh is kind of creepy. It's like Ha Ha *snort* ha ha*snort* *snort*
Danielle pulled up at Adam's house and Adam running to the car in a green jersey over a plain white T and green b-ball shorts. Adam looked a lot like his mom, Lola. Danielle and Nate got out of the car. Adam did a handshake with Nate as a greeting. Then he looked at Danni.
"What's up Rapunzel?" he asked.
"Hi Adam. Nathan I've gotta go; if you need me to come pick you up call me." Danielle said holding up her cell phone and pointing at it.
"K bye" Nate said walking to the backyard with Adam.
Danielle got into the car and drove away without saying anything.
"Hey Rae, sorry I'm late." Danielle said sitting down next the next pink ranger.
The chocolate skinned girl looked up from her book and shrugged. "Whatever girl it's not my study time you're wasting."
Raven is what someone would call an acting queen; she can play any part, any where, any time. She can impersonate Beyonce, Shakira, even Chris Brown.
"Well don't just sit there grab your chemistry book and get to studying, the last thing I want is for you to fail and I'll have to be known as the girl with the idiot best friend." Raven snapped.
Danielle didn't say anything back because she knew Raven was right, Danielle sucked butt at chemistry and everyone knew it. She was just happy she managed to get at least a B- for the last 3 marking periods.
"Did you know I forgot all about prom?" Danielle asked taking out he text-book.
Raven scrunched her dark eyebrows at her "Where were you in la la land? Posters are all around the school?"
"I've been busy alright?"
"Too busy to notice posters everywhere you turn?" Raven murmured looking into her book
Danielle heard this comment and rolled her sea blue eyes.
As Danielle struggled to fully understand what the textbook was saying she heard someone say "What up ladies?" She looked up to see Cameron and Javier, the future Blue and Gold rangers. Danielle looked at Raven who was running her fingers through her thick dark curls.
"You guys couldn't have thought of a worse time to disturb us" Raven said rolling her slanted eyes.
"And I love you my bitchy sister." Cameron said with a fake smile
"Seriously boys; Raven and I have to study for our chemistry final." Danielle practically whined.
Cameron and Javier nodded.
"Yeah I forgot you suck butt at chemistry." Javier said.
"Yes she does, so may you please go do your history project because you know dad is gonna lash out if you don't get more than a C+ on that." Raven said raising an eyebrow at her twin.
Cameron rolled his eyes and sighed.
"C'mon Javier, I see we're not wanted here." Cameron said as he walked off.
Raven and Danielle waited until the boys were fully gone
"So…" Danni trailed off. Raven held her finger up.
"Nuh uh girl, you better gets back to studying." She demanded.
Well what did you think? Oh yeah and the pictures of the character are on my profile.
