Chapter Eight: Protective Siblings and Couples Bloom
"Alex, what's going on between you and Joey?" Mason questioned her as she pulled a plate out of the cupboard.
"What do you mean?" Alex looked at her twin as she set the plate down and walked to a different cupboard to grab a cup.
"Exactly what I said, Pixie." Mason sat on the counter and watched his sister as she pulled out some containers from the fridge.
"We're just friends. Mase, why do you ask?" Alex dumped the cold noodle contents of one container on to her plate.
"Because you're my sister, it's my job."
"Whatever. Do we have any shredded cheese?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"Cause I'm making homemade Mac-and-Cheese."
"I think in the with the lunch meat."
"Thanks. So, what's going on between you and Kait?"
"What do you mean?" Mason was suddenly taken back by his sister's inquiry over his feelings and relations between him and the yellow ranger.
"Exactly what I said, Mason."
"We're friends…" Mason trailed off, realizing as soon as he did that he shouldn't have around his sister.
"You want to go out with her?" Alex raised an eyebrow at her brother as she pulled out the cheese that she was looking for.
"Yeah." Mason sighed as he watched Alex as she generously coated her noodles with the shredded cheese, and then sticking her plate in the microwave and hitting some buttons before pressing start.
"You should ask her out."
"I want to…why are we talking about me again?"
"Because I changed the subject towards you and off of me." Alex laughed as she pulled her plate from the microwave, once it sounded that it was done heating up her food. Taking a bite, Alex glanced back up at her twin brother. "Why don't you just ask her?"
"Because, I'm afraid that she will say no."
"You never know unless you ask her."
"Quiet."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Alex…" Mason trailed off as he noticed that Alex was smirking. "Give me the tape."
"What tape?" Alex suddenly composed her face as Mason moved over towards the cupboard where the glasses were. Taking out the recorder, Mason pulled the tape out and started to ruin it.
"That tape." Mason threw the ruined cassette away and walked away towards his room. Alex sighed as she felt her phone vibrate. Pulling it out, she saw that she had a new text from an unknown number. Reading it, Alex had to smile.
Hey, its joey. Wat's up?
Alex quickly replied and sent it.
Nothing really. Just talking with mase. U?
Same. Wat were u and mase talking bout?

Oh…Well I hope tat she does…
Thanks…wats wrong?
Nothing. My shoulder hurts. T2ul.

Alex put her phone down and walked to her room to head to bed. Mason saw the sad look on her face, and decided to leave her alone.
The Next Day
At school the next day was pretty bad for Alex. Alex walked into the science room at the end of the day with, holding her shoulder and her right wrist against her chest as well.
"Alex? What happened?" Tommy asked as he got up from his desk as he saw Alex walk in.
"Bulk," Alex replied as she walked over to a cabinet. Stretching her left foot up, she pulled on the handle and opened the door. Suddenly the door moved more easily as someone's hand rested on her left shoulder, balancing her. Looking up, Alex saw that Joey looked down at her-concern in his eyes.
"You okay?" Joey questioned as Alex sighed. Shaking her head, Alex explained her problem. Joey took out the things that Alex pointed to and told her to walk back to a desk.
"Thanks, Joey," Alex said to him as he looked up at her.
"No problem. What happened to your wrist?" Joey looked at her as he wrapped it.
"Bulk." Alex watched as Tommy left the room to go find something, or someone.
"Where is your dad going?" Joey asked as he looked at the door that Tommy just walked out.
"Who knows. Joey I-" Alex was cut off as Joey's lips suddenly touched hers. Breaking the kiss Joey looked down at her.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I just wanted to tell the girl that I like how I feel about her." Joey started to back away when Alex's good hand pulled him back by his collar.
"I like you too." Alex looked into Joey's eyes before he pressed his lips back against hers back against hers. Mason walked into the room, just as Joey and Alex broke apart again.
"About time," Mason stated, startling his sister and Joey.
"Quiet Mase. You ask Kait yet?" Alex threw back as Joey wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Quiet. Joey, if you hurt her; you're dead." Mason pointed a finger at Joey.
"I don't plan on it." Joey smiled as Alex shook her head. Kaitlynn walked into the room, eyes zeroing in on Joey's arm around Alex's waist.
"Alex, when did it happen and why wasn't I or Kali told?" Kaitlynn demanded as Kali walked into the room, eyes zeroing in on the same spot.
"It just happened today. And I planned on telling you during the lab," Alex replied laughing as Joey sighed, he knew that he was going to get the third degree from Kait and Kali later.
"Kait, can I ask you something?" Mason walked up to the yellow-cladded teenager, pulling her towards the back of the room.
"What is it?" Kaitlynn questioned as Mason turned towards her.
"Would you like to go to the movies on Friday?" Mason asked swiftly as Kait started to smile.
"Okay."
"Really?"
"Yeah, honestly, I was wondering if you were ever going to ask me."
"ALEX!" Mason whipped around as Alex jerked away from Joey to start running. Mason started to chase her around the room. Tommy came into the room to Kait and Joey making bets on how long it would take for Alex to tire out, as well as how long it would be before Mason would tire out.
"Mase, Pixie, what are you doing?" Tommy asked as Mason just gave up and sat down next to Kait.
"Alex made me mad, and I started to chase her." Mason said as he wrapped an arm around Kait's waist. Alex nodded in agreement as she sat down next to Joey.
"Okay then-" Tommy cut off as Alex suddenly gasped, her eyes going blank.
"Alex?" Joey asked as he waved a hand in front of his girlfriend's face.
"Guys, come quickly to dad's room," Mason said into his communicator as Joey continued to wave his hand.
"Alright, what's going on Mase?" Hunter's voice came back through the communicator.
"Pixie." Mason heard Hunter swear, before saying that the rest of the gang was on their way.
"Joey, she can't see your hand," Tommy told him as he watched Alex's face. "Mase, what is she seeing?"
"I don't know. It's too blurry for me to catch anything that stands out…" Mason trailed off as Hunter and the rest of the rangers entered the room.
"What do you mean that she can't see my hand? What the hell is going on?" Joey demanded as Mason started to rub his temples.
"She has this power that allows her see things. She's seeing something right now, so she can't see your hand as you wave it in front of her face," Hunter explained to Joey as Mason continued to rub his temples. "Anything Mase?"
"No. Still blurry. I can't see anything that stands out clear enough for me. Almost as if she doesn't want me to see what is." Mason started to pace the floor in front of Kaitlynn, feeling her eyes on him as he passed her over and over again.
"Great…" Joey trailed off as he continued to watch Alex's face, for some sign that she was snapping out of it. Tommy sighed as he waited with the rest of the teenagers for Alex to come to.
"GASP!" Alex sucked in air as her eyes returned to normal. Joey suddenly was on his feet in front of her.
"Alex? What did you see?" Joey questioned, concerned as Alex started to shake.
"You…dying…"Alex trailed off as Joey stiffened.
