~ I do not own Power Rangers. This story is fan-made and created due to personal interest
"Why? Why me? There are billions of people in the world, but Gosei picked me and four other teenagers to become power rangers. Why would some galactic space alien decide to put together a team of uncanny superheroes who were still in high school? I mean really, we're all just starting junior year. How are we supposed to handle all of this? How am I supposed to handle all of this crap? I wanna help, but what good could I do? Everyone seems like they are cut out for this except for me."
"Troy just moved here, but he's already proven to be a strong, loyal, and compassionate leader. He's a skilled martial artist and his decision making skills are unquestionable. Jake's strength is admirable due to his years of playing soccer and would lighten up the team with his corny jokes. Even Jake's best friend, Noah, fit in perfectly on the team. He isn't the strongest member, but he is certainly the smartest. He could probably become the next Einstein if he tried hard enough. I still don't understand how they became best friends, but their relationship is unbreakable. I guess Noah is the brains and Jake is the brawn, they complete each other.
"Then there's Gia, my best friend Gia. I've known her my whole life and learned that she's practically perfect. Any guy would drool over, but she isn't the shallow type either. She knows to respect others and herself while maintaining her famous tough image. In a way, she is like the combination of Noah, Jake, and Troy with her quick thinking, natural athletic abilities, and strong leadership skills. No wonder she was made second in command."
Emma sighed, "Then there's me. What good am I? What can I do?"
Emma didn't even notice Gia come in through her room's open window and was snapped out of her thoughts when Gia tapped her shoulder.
"Emma? You okay? Gia asked
Emma quickly turned around, put a fake smile on, and tried to come up with a quick lie.
.
"Yeah, I'm good. I'm just thinking of what trail to take later so I can take some nice pictures.
However, Gia knew something was up. She knew that look on Emma's face. Emma and Gia's parents became best friends in middle school and stayed that way up until now. Their parent's friendship was inseparable and so was theirs. This caused Emma and Gia to pretty much grow up with each other, they were practically siblings. However, once Emma's mom, Elaine, died from a car accident a few years ago, something about Emma changed. During Elaine's funeral Emma didn't shed one tear, but at the same time, Gia could see how devastated Emma was. She put on a façade to hide her real feelings.
Emma became the type of person who would keep things to herself and would make sure no one would worry about her. She always put others' needs before herself and would do anything to make sure those who were close to her were okay. Emma's heart was made of gold, she wasn't the strongest or smartest, but she would never give up. Selfless was the perfect word to describe her.
Gia shook her head, "Emma I know you're not okay. I can read you like a book. We can talk about it if you want. You can't hide everything."
Emma didn't want to lie to Gia, but she didn't want her to know how she felt either, "Just a few insecurities. Nothing big, it's all good.
"Emma, I can see you putting up your walls. Your fake smile is coming out. C'mon, you can tell me anything."
"It's nothing." Emma said a little more sternly. "I'm just gonna go riding around on my usual trail to get some fresh air. I'll keep my morpher on me in case a monster shows up. Meet you at school later!"
Gia rolled her eyes and replied saying, "Okay fine, see you later."
"Be safe on your walk to school!" Emma said as she grabbed her backpack and bike.
"Says the girl who's venturing off in the woods where anything can happen." Gia mumbled
"I heard that!" Emma said as she shut the door.
