I do not own Power Rangers

Emily woke up with a start and looked up at her clock. 4:24. A.M. The sharp pains in her stomach and her achy body was making it hard for her to receive any sleep. She brushed her hand against her forehead to check for a fever and sure enough, her temperature was well above normal. In all short, she felt like crap.

Suddenly, her stomach made a horrendous jolt and she dashed into the bathroom. As she violently threw up into the toilet, Mia walked in with a surprised look on her face.

"Emily, Oh my goodness. Are you alright?" Mia began, panic and worry etched in her voice. "You look awful." Emily finished throwing up and Mia flushed the toilet to get rid of the bile. She went and grabbed a washcloth from the bathroom closet, wet it with water, and plastered it across Emily's sweltering forehead.

"Yeah," Emily responded with a raspy voice, "I feel good too." A chuckle from Mia turned foul as she found her way into a coughing fit.

"Mia, Are you okay?" was all that Emily could get out. After brutal minutes of silence, save for Mia's coughing, it died down and she cleared her throat, getting ready to speak.

"Not really." She knew that she had to be honest. Mia hadn't felt good since training the morning before and knew that being in denial about it would only make her symptoms worse. By her deductive reasoning, Mia knew that Emily and herself had caught a bug and the only way to reduce the effects was with sleep.

"We should probably get back into bed, we need our rest." Mia said quietly, so as not to affect her voice and Emily nodded in obligation. Slowly, Emily and Mia both helped each other off of the floor and into their beds and Emily fell right asleep. Mia, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. Her aches and pains kept her twisting and turning for over a half and hour. Then, a single thought hit her like a train.

The Boys. They must have caught the bug too. She couldn't think of a minute when they were separated, besides dressing and washing of course. They had trained together all day. And the boys weren't taking many precautions against germs. Mia practically saw Mike lick food off of the ground, and although Mentor took great pride in his clean house, she was sure Mike was going to come down with something.

These thoughts plagued her mind as she drifted asleep, after finding a comfortable position. As the big sister of the group, she was worried for everyone, especially when they were injured or ill. She could only hope that by morning she felt better and that the boys weren't sick. Or else it would create a huge problem. Huge.

Kevin was instantly awoken with a snot-soaked pillow and as he jolted, his head started to ache. He knew that everyone saw how lethargic he was in training, even Mike, who Kevin claimed was the most oblivious person on the planet. He really wasn't feeling well and he wished that all of the pain would go away. He didn't need to be sick right then. Kevin was too busy to be sick.

He turned his head to see a passed out Mike, snoring like a lion's roar. Kevin felt his forehead, abnormally hot he observed, and quietly got up to go get a drink of water. Making his way into the kitchen, Kevin heard two voices talking. They sounded an awful lot like Jayden and Antonio, and Kevin stealthily hid behind the refrigerator to hear what they had been talking about.

"Are you sure we don't have any medicine?" Antonio whined.

"I'm sure. Rangers don't normally get sick, and the monster who poisoned us all caused us to use up all of our resources." Jayden tried to utter, but his apparent sore throat was making it hard for him to speak.

"But I don't feel good!" The whiny voice complained again.

"Tell you what. Tomorrow, if we don't feel any better, I'll ask mentor to head out and buy some more medicine for us." Jayden said.

"Okay," Antonio obliged "But what do we do in the meantime?"

"I guess we just try to sleep it off." Jayden replied calmly.

"Alright, let's go."

As soon as Jayden and Antonio headed off to bed for the night, Kevin snuck out to grab his water. I can't believe they're sick too. I hope I didn't give it to them, whatever it is I have. Kevin, having a full glass of water in hand walked back to his shared room. He had decided to wake up Mike to see how he was feeling, although his plan was just about as smart as poking a bear. Mike was an incredibly deep sleeper, and any interruptions would make him kick and scream in the midst of his dreams.

Kevin quickly walked over to the green ranger's bed, not wanting to waste time, and started to try and wake Mike up. After a span of five long minutes, Mike finally woke up to a state in which he could comprehend what his friend was saying.

"What Kevin?!" He exclaimed "I'm trying to sleep."

"I know, I'm sorry!" Kevin apologized "I just had a question."

"A question that couldn't wait til morning? Dude! It's five o'clock" Mike complained.

"Come on, we all know that you've stayed up later than this playing video games." Kevin countered.

"Alright," Mike sat up, "What's your question?" Kevin hesitated "Well spit it out." Mike was beginning to get irritated with his friend. First, he wakes him up, and now he won't tell him why he had woke him up.

"Are you feeling alright?" Kevin blurted quickly.

"What?"

"Do you feel alright?"

"I know. I heard. What do you mean?"

"Do you feel sick?" Kevin asked again.

"No. Why?"

"Oh, I don't know? Maybe from the fact that you like food off of the floor yesterday! Why wouldn't you feel good?" Then, there was an awkward silence.

"Kevin...stop worrying! I'm fine! Never been better!" Mike finally said.

"That's what they all say." Kevin mumbled.

"What?"

"Never mind, just go back to sleep."

"Whatever." And with that, Mike fell back into his dreams. Kevin, however, was still concerned, so he put his hand across Mike's forehead and was shocked to find it cool to the touch. As Kevin walked back to his bed, many thoughts drifted into his aching mind. How did I get sick and Mike didn't? I mean, he practically attracts germs! I hope I'm better by morning. I hope we all are. When Kevin laid down, his aches eased and he was finally able to fall into a somewhat peaceful sleep, awaiting for what he hoped to be a better morning.
