AND SO YOU FELL INTO THE DANGER
AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER
Sequel to "Tick Tock Combat". Takes place near the end of Season 1, before what would've been "Male Code Blue". Life With Derek belongs to Canadian Television and Disney. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Bandora is from Zyuranger, and I'm not sure who owns that. I only own the Velocitrons, Murdoch, Samarin, Gorkon, and the plot. The song Casey sings is from "The Sound Of Dischordia".
BRIIIIIIIING! The sound of the last bell sent various students of Sir John Sparrow High out the door.
"Yes! Time for spring break!" Emily Davids cheered. Casey MacDonald laughed.
"Yeah, I could use a break myself," she admitted. Emily stared at her friend in surprise. Casey wants a break from school? she thought to herself. "I'm just kidding, Em," Casey stated when she saw the look. Emily laughed.
"Oh, that was a good one," she said. Casey laughed, but her mirth didn't reach her eyes. She hadn't understood. But how could she? This was her home. Casey's home was back in Angel Grove with her friends. Meanwhile, Sam Richards, Ralph Papadelias, and Derek Venturi were talking excitedly.
"Dude, this is gonna be a great spring break!" Sam stated.
"Yeah, I bet can convince my parents to take us to the beach or something," Derek bragged.
"Dude, that'd be so sweet," Ralph commented.
"But what if Casey and her family want to do something else?" Sam pointed out.
"It'll be too bad for them because you know that I always get what I want," Derek bragged.
"Dude, didn't you say you found out she took karate?" Ralph reminded.
"So?" Derek asked.
"So, she could totally drop-kick you," Ralph pointed out.
"Dude, he does have a point," Sam noted.
"Okay, yes, Casey does karate," Derek responded. "But you remember when we took her to the hospital. She said her partner overshot a kick and pinned her leg. That only happens to people who aren't any good at it," he continued. Sam and Ralph stared at him unconvinced and Derek shook his head at his friends' lack of faith in him. Then, they all headed for the bus. As they did so, they saw Emily and Casey as they boarded. They all sat down near the two much to Derek's chagrin. Man, this is so lame, he thought to himself.
"Here we fly at Angel Grove High. And here we rise at Angel Grove High-y-igh. And we'll take on all the limits, and we'll take on all the limits-" Casey began.
"Would you quit singing?" Derek interrupted.
"What are you singing, anyways?" Sam wondered.
"My old high school's song," Casey answered.
"If you're going to sing a school song, Keener, it should be the school that you go to," Derek sneered.
"But it's a terrible song," Casey objected.
"She's right, man. No one can hit that last note," Sam agreed. Derek sighed and rolled his eyes.
"So, what are you guys going to do for spring break?" Emily wondered, changing the subject.
"I'd like to go home to Angel Grove," Casey answered.
"Well, keep dreaming, Princess. Because I want to go to the beach," Derek told her.
"Well, contrary to what you believe Derek, you do not always get what you want," Casey stated. Derek just scoffed. Soon enough, they were home.
"Hey, kids," Nora greeted. Derek, Casey, Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti greeted their parents.
"All right, everyone. Where do you want to go for spring break?" George asked.
"Angel Grove," Casey answered.
"The beach," Derek said at the same time.
"You're so lame, Derek," Casey said. Derek laughed.
"Me? Lame? I think you've got that backwards, MacDonald," he responded.
"All right, all right. That's enough you two," George interjected. "We'll put it to a vote," he said.
"All in the favor of the beach, raise your hands," Nora told them. Derek did so and then stared at his younger siblings.
"Smarti, where do you want to go? Some stuffy boring old town, or a nice, fun beach?" he queried.
"I don't care! I'm a cat!" Marti replied. Derek rolled his eyes and then turned to Edwin.
"Edwin, why aren't you voting?" he asked.
"And all in favor of Angel Grove?" Nora continued. Casey, Lizzie, and to Derek's surprise, Edwin all raised their hands.
"Edwin?" Derek asked in displeased surprise.
"Sorry, Bro. But Angel Grove sounds more fun," Edwin replied with a shrug. Derek sputtered for a response and Casey and Lizzie laughed.
"All right. It's settled then. We're going to Angel Grove," George commented.
"I gotta call Jesse!" Casey exclaimed and then ran up the stairs to her room. Up on the moon, Bandora cackled.
"So, Pinky's coming back for spring break, is she? Well, we'll just have to give her a welcome home party she'll never forget!" She laughed again, the sound echoing throughout her palace.
