Lily and Destiny were cleaning up their side of the loft while the boys were down in the kitchen helping Fran; Destiny was picking up dirty clothes that were mostly yellow and pink, Lily look at the youngest member of their team and bit her lip.

"Destiny?" asked Lily, as she sat on her bed.

Destiny put the clothes in the basket and glanced up. "Yes"

"What were you going the say before Casey came down the stairs?" asked Lily.

Destiny's face paled and she swallowed a lump in her throat, and went to sit beside the older girl, "I started dating this guy, just after my thirteenth birthday, I didn't have a home life any more seeing as I ran away to train at the school, I thought the guy loved me, but I was wrong, he was after sex, seeing as I was the only girl that he knew about that didn't have a home, he thought I would be easy, He said that he had a crush on me for the longest time and I believe him. Well after a few months, I knew something was wrong, he was controlling, he didn't know where I was during the week because of the code, and I couldn't tell him. So I made up excuses which he thought I was cheating, when I said I wouldn't have sex with him. The anger came, he beat me and I took it, but when he took a knife after me, I knew that I would be dead, He had me pinned to the floor cutting me that's when my leopard spirit came, she saved me,"

Destiny had tears coursing down her cheeks, Lily wrapped her arms around the girl, "I somehow made it to the forest outside the temple cover in my own blood, if Master Mao hadn't been worried and decided to search for me, and I would be dead."

"I remember that, Master Mao came with you in his arms, we never did find out what happened. I guess you didn't want anyone to know you were being abused" Lily replied.

"I didn't want anyone to know, so Master Mao didn't tell anyone not even RJ" Destiny replied.

Destiny and Lily finished cleaning up their side of the loft,

"Mind training some with me?" asked Destiny.

"Sure," Lily replied.

Lily and Destiny got their practice weapons out and went over the mat. Lily starts the bout by attacking with her Bo; Destiny dodged and attacked her twin daggers.

"Where did you learn the twin daggers?" asks Lily, as they were practicing.

"My mother taught me, when I was three years old, then she died when I was four." Destiny replied "my weapons training at school was the daggers, I didn't want to learn anything else after my mother died."

"In honor of her memory?" asks Lily, when they were finished fighting.

"Something like that." Destiny replied looking at the red and black practice daggers and smiled softly. This was her way of never letting go of her mother who also had the Leopard spirit. Her mother wasn't a Master but she was the best of the Leopard style.

"I didn't know it at the time, but my mother had the leopard spirit also, I guess it passed on to me when she died." Destiny stated softly.

Lily looked on at the pink ranger with sadness in her eyes, this young girl had been though so much, yet was able to give back to the team.

"You and RJ are vastly different; I mean you don't act like you're related. He's..." Lily stated then stopped lacking a word.

"Off centered? Yeah I know, RJ is older then me, He's the great brother ever, I think he was more like a father to me during my rebellion against my biological one."

"Whatever ever happened to your dad?" asks Lily

"I rather not talk about it, besides if we don't get down into the kitchen the boys might blow it up." Destiny replied; the subject of her father was a sore one; she didn't like to think about him or know that he was alive. RJ was the only family she was concern about.

Lily and Destiny changed into their work uniforms, and went down stairs. Destiny seen that a few dishes needed to be washed.

"Well, after and children's party, I'm not severing. I'll wash dishes." Destiny stated as she went to the sink and turned on the water.

Lily flinched at that, it was wrong, that she and Theo didn't help out.

RJ was glancing at his sister, in concern, Destiny wasn't hanging out with the guys, and he knew she was terrified of guys and didn't trust them but if she was going to be on the team she would have to get over her mistrust of guys. But which one of them could win her trust, she seemed to get along with Casey, they were closer in age then Theo was.

"Whatever you're planning RJ, it isn't going to work." Destiny said out of the blue, without looking up.

RJ stared wide eyed at his sister, how on earth did she know what he was planning. Destiny glanced up at her brother.

"RJ, we come from the same family, i know what you're thinking half the time, and what I'm going though isn't something a little RJ's pattened training is going to fix. I just need time, I'm not terrified of Theo or Casey." Destiny explained, then went out to help Fran.

"Destiny, could you take orders on table two," asks Fran,

the pink ranger nodded, "Sure, thing."

Destiny went about taking orders, and bringing orders, cleaning up, until it was closing time. She went to the salad bar; getting herself a salad for supper. She didn't want to have pizza again.

"Hey, Destiny, what's up?" asked Casey, coming to sit with her along with the others.

"Nothing, just eating a salad." replied Destiny with a smile.

"Why not pizza?" asked RJ, looking a little sad

Destiny smiled "Because i can't eat pizza all the time, like you Bro."

"Hey, guys, I'm leaving." Fran stated.

"See ya, Fran" all of them replied.

"Rest up Rangers, tomorrow we train." RJ ordered before going upstairs,
