Chapter 4

The next day CeCe didn't see Rocky. She wasn't at school and when she went to her apartment she never answered. Rocky's parents had recently gotten very busy with work after Ty went off to college and Rocky hardly saw them anymore. It only made CeCe feel even guiltier. She had promised Rocky never to leave her and here she was doing exactly that.

CeCe went to the dojo, knowing full well Cole would be there, as he had a bedroom above the initial room. As she walked in she saw Cole at a punching bag. He looked over at her as she walked over and gave her a smile, "Hey, CeCe."

CeCe chewed on her lip, "Hey, Cole, can I talk to you about something?"

"Of course. What's going on?' Cole stopped his workout and looked at her.

"Well, ever since we started fighting Iracabeth and all her crappy monsters, I've been neglecting Rocky."

"So, why don't you spend some time with her?"

"Well, I do, but every time we start to hang out the witch sends a monster and I have to lie to Rocky and ditch her. I feel so guilty, it's eating me up inside. She doesn't have the best family right now and I promised I wouldn't leave her but I can feel this tearing us apart."

"So, what, are you asking for permission to tell her you're a Power Ranger?""I-no. I just don't know what to do."

"Why didn't you ever bring her here?" Cole asked. "She could've been in our classes."

"She already takes karate somewhere else. And that's another reason she's hurting. I wouldn't take it with her, but when I got this morpher I started taking it with Allen and Cass and it hurt her feelings. I'm such a bad friend aren't I?"

"You're not a bad friend, CeCe, you're a Power Ranger. I'm sure if she did know she would understand, but you can't tell her. She might accidentally tell."

"Rocky wouldn't-"

"I'm not saying she would do it on purpose. I'm saying that maybe if she gets to worked up she could say things she couldn't take back. In all honesty I think you should just talk to her about this, let her know you still care about her. You do care right?"

"Of course! She's been my best friend since we were little."

"Then I'm sure you two will work it out."

"Thanks for the talk, Cole."

"That's what I'm here for." Cole said. "CeCe, I need a favor from you and the other rangers."

"Really? What?"

"This is a little embarrassing, but I lost some morphers."

"What? I thought you only made three." CeCe frowned.

Cole shook his head, "No. Originally I made six and I had them both in two different suitcases. When I came here my other suitcase went missing on the flight and now I have no idea where they are."

"How can I help you find them?"

"Just keep an eye out for them. If you see anything that looks like it could be a morpher then let me know."

"Well, if their like ours they should look like animals right?"

"Yes. There's a pink falcon, a silver rhino and a gold Spinosaurus."

"Wait, Spinosaurus? That's a dinosaur."

"Power Ranger teams occasionally have an odd man out. I didn't want to break the tradition." Cole chuckled. "Just watch out okay?"

"Yeah. I'll let the others know too."

"I'm serious. It's very important they do not fall into the wrong hands."

The next day at school, CeCe saw Allen and Cass at their lockers, which were right next to each other, and walked over to them. "Guys, Cole made three more morphers."

Allen raised an eyebrow at her, "Recently?"

"No, before. But we need to watch out for them, okay?"

"Sure."

"Okay." Cass nodded.

"On a different note, have you seen Rocky today?" CeCe asked.

"That we have." Allen said.

"Where is she?"

"I- CeCe she's not acting like Rocky." Cass told her.

"What do you mean?" CeCe frowned.

"Turn around."CeCe turned and saw Rocky, but it wasn't Rocky. Rocky was dressed in a black biker jacket with a pink shirt underneath, black leather jeans and boots. She also had pink highlights in her hair.

"Oh, dear God, not again." CeCe sighed and walked over to Rocky. "Rocky, didn't you already go through this goth, tough girl phase?"

"Bite me, Red." Rocky snarled.

CeCe's eyes widened, "What?"

"I don't need any comments from you. In fact I don't need anything from you. You just go back to your new best friends and never speak to me again."

"What? No, you don't really mean that. Rocky we've been best friends for years. You know no one can replace you."

"CeCe. You promised me you wouldn't leave me. Ever since my parents left you promised me you would stay and you haven't! You always ditch me for them! You're just like them, you stopped caring about me!"

"Rocky, you know that isn't true! I'm sorry, I just…"

"You just can't tell me. Because there's nothing to tell."

"I don't need you, CeCe. You're just a stupid, selfish brat and I'm better off without you." Rocky sneered at the redhead before walking off, leaving CeCe with tears in her eyes.

Allen and Cassandra walked over to CeCe. Cass saw the tears and quickly wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "CeCe, you okay?"

"I'm a horrible best friend and now Rocky hates me." CeCe said.

"Oh, come on, you know she didn't mean anything she said." Allen told her, leaning against the lockers.

"She told me she didn't need me and that I'm a stupid, selfish brat and that she's better off without me."

"You know she didn't actually mean it. She doesn't know any better." Cassandra said.

"It doesn't matter that I'm the red ranger I still could've made more time for her!"

"CeCe, you can't blame yourself. She'll understand one day. She'll forgive you."

"Yeah right."
