------Teenage Trouble------
A lean brunette girl ran into the wooden table with the mystic symbols carved on the top. Three were new. The fourteen Mystics that were discussing plans to weaken the master were shocked to see the brunette hit the floor the hard floor of Rootcore unconscious. By the time the young girl regain consciousness the sun had set. It was early morning when she passed out. She looked around, she was in her room. This room had been her father's when he was a baby. The door had a poster of SPD headquarters, the carpet was mauve taupe colored, her desk on the east wall had neatly stack papers, and a bookcase on its right. The west wall had her closet door with a mirror. She looked at her reflection, she had bruises everywhere, and she saw her scare in the reflection and turned her head away from the mirror. That day may have been years ago but the scare remained her of the worse memory she ever had. Just then she heard a knock on her door.
"Ashley you awake?" Ashley knew that voice anywhere. She told him from the other side other the door to come in. Her friend who came in had raven hair, dark skin, brown eyes, and a slim body.
"You ok?" He asked in a soft caring tone that Ashley trusted more then her mother's.
"Yeah, just a little bump on the head." She said with a headache from hitting her head on the floor.
"Little, not only did you hit your head on the floor you also have a lot of bruises. Some of which are on your head."
"I ran into the Master." She whispered not wanting eavesdroppers hearing. If there were any.
"When I get my hands on him I'll...." he said in a dangerous voice clutching his fists.
"Adam, control yourself. We don't want you to get killed." She said in a worried tone.
"Ok, I just don't like it if people or monsters mess with you" he said again in a tone that soothed Ashley just by the tone. Adam had just noticed a look on Ashley's face that had thought and confusion in it.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Why do you care so much for me?"
"I don't know. I just do." Adam's voice had a sense of thought in it.
"Oh" Ashley sounded disappointed hearing this. But, she didn't even get to ask where the others were before he did the last thing she thought he would do. Ashley felt his lips press against hers and she responded by kissing him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck. It seemed like forever before they had to break apart for air. Ashley now smiling the first time since Donna her niece was born.
"Why did you do that for?" she chuckled
"I don't know. May be it was the way your personality is, or maybe your looks, maybe that you kind and not afraid of showing how you feel. I can't pick one. I'll just pick all of them" he laughed.
In the distance they heard footsteps and within seconds a woman in her mid-forties ran into the room.
"Oh, Sweetie are you ok?" she desperately said wanting to know the answer.
"Yes, Mother"
"What happened?"
"She had a run in with the master." Adam accidentally said. Ashley gave him a look that told him enough to know to leave for the moment.
"WHAT!" the mother yelled "Do you know you could have been killed. I can't believe you did such a stupid thing. That is it give me your morpher."
"But..." Ashley was cut off
"No buts. Give me it now."
"What would happen if I get kidnapped?"
"You will not get kidnapped because you are no longer going to be involved with the fighting." She said still yelling.
"Madison, do you think she'll give up that easy? You know she'll find a way to get that morpher back." Said a voice from behind Madison
"Udonna you're not helping. I am Ashley's mother not you."
"Well, I am her grandmother"
"I don't care she is no longer a ranger." She practically said yelling.
"So, you want to get rid of her team's leader?"
"Byron will take over" Madison was now getting frustrated with her mother in-law's precincts with keeping Ashley the red ranger. Madison then took her daughter's morpher and left.
"Child, meet me in my room after dinner. I got something to show you." Udonna suggested to Ashley who hated her mother more every second.
