FINGERNAILS
Lily was rushing toward Womanhood's Center. Eagerly, she was hoping to bump into somebody protesting on the way. She hoped there'd be somebody standing outside with a sign and telling people unborn babies have fingernails.
To her disappointment, there was nobody. She stood by the entrance, staring at the sign above the door. She have never dream of this moment. She never and still refused to support abortion. But she was thinking of the thing that was growing in her stomach. What would be the best outcome for it?
"Welcome to Womanhood's Center," the girl behind the counter said to Lily without looking up from her novel. "Do you have an appointment?"
"Fingernails." Lily found herself blurting that out.
The girl looked up, "Look, it's been a long day and I don't want to deal with another-"
"No, I have an appointment. I think." Lily stopped her.
"Oh. Then whats your name?"
"McGraff. Juno McGraff."
The girl sighed impatiently. "Oh, that's very funny."
Lily stood there completely still, staring back at the girl. She was trying to think of her own name but nothing rang a bell.
Lily moaned, "I think I'm going to be sick."
She ran back outside and turned to the corner. Then she vomited the cherry slushee she just drank from 7-11.
"Well, hello there." Lily froze as she realized who was up ahead of her. Camille. "Isn't that place a little... unethical for somebody like you?"
"What are you doing here, Camille?" Lily held her fists out.
"Just releasing my latest monster on the loose." Camille said with a smirk. "Maybe I will have it crush this place before crushing you."
Lily glared at
her. She wondered why Camille would say something like that. She
suddenly recalled the human version of Camille. The beautiful
blonde
bombshell that walked in Jungle Karma Pizza, mostly looking for a
friend. Was Camille being decent just now?
"What are you looking at?" Camille snapped.
Lily opened her mouth but stopped as she heard a beeping sound. She picked the so-called sunglasses out of her pocket and placed it on.
"Ready for battle downtown?" Casey's voice echoed.
"You bet." Lily said, firmly. "Jungle Fury, spirits unleashed!"
"Bye bye, killer." Camille waved before vanishing.
Lily morphed into the yellow Jungle Fury and met up with her teammates. They all, including Dominic and RJ, were waiting for her downtown.
"Where have you been, Lily?" Casey asked. "Are you alright?"
"I need some air so I took a walk." Lily lied.
RJ stepped forward and held a hand on your shoulder. "Casey shouldn't have called you. You should get some rest and we will take care of it."
"RJ, what's going on?" Theo asked. "Lily, are you sick?"
"No, I'm fine." Lily brushed RJ's hand off. She gave RJ bitter look, even though her helmet was covering her face.
"Let's rock and roll!" Dominic shouted.
"Not with you," RJ gently grabbed Lily back. "You're staying."
"RJ, look at that thing." Lily whispered.
They both glanced up at the monster that was roaring. Its feet barely missed them. It was a combination of lizard and a chameleon. The skin was scaly and purple. It was clawing it's way through the city.
"RJ, we need Lily to summon the zords!" Casey shouted.
"Lily can't participate today." RJ shouted back, rudely. He turned to the yellow ranger. "Just stay here and we will call you when we need you."
Lily wished she see RJ's face inside his helmet. She sighed and backed up. "Be careful."
"Alright, boys, let's go!" RJ shouted and joined the others.
The boys knew better to not question their wolf master. The four of them deserted Lily and she watched her teammates got into their zords. They stepped up to the giant monster.
Camille popped up behind her, clearing her throat. She smiled evilly. "This is a juicy fact. You and the wolf master?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"What's the matter?" she teased. "They think you got cooties?"
"Camille, you know better to not mess with a human girl on PMS." Lily gave her fighting stance.
"Bring on the cooties!" Camille morphed instantly before Lily's eyes.
They stood in front of each other, tearing at each other. They got a grasp on each other and struggled to break loose.
"Looks like we are winning." Camille sneered. "You babies are no match for my monster."
Lily looked up and saw the monster had knocked Theo's zord into the ground.
"Don't give up, Theo!" Lily shouted even though Theo couldn't hear her from this distance.
Just as Casey was fumbling aside Theo, Camille broke loose and hit against Lily in the chest, knocking her down.
"Look like we already defeat three of you." She cackled.
"In your dreams." Lily pounded on Camille, sending a beastly attack her way.
Camille groaned as she slowly got up to her feet. She snapped her fingers and a large army popped up, surrounding Lily.
