Chapter 8: When East Meets West Part 1: Sam

At Sam's house, Sam is in her bedroom as she is practicing for her dance class she is teaching on Saturday. She could not stop thinking about having her older sister on the same team with her. 'Why did it have to be her on the team with me? She hardly knows anything about my life after the divorce'. Sam thought to herself.

Flashback

Abby and Sam are being sit down by their parents. "Girls, your father and I are getting a divorce. Plus keep in mind that we both love you equally, and it is not your fault". Grace said to them.

David nods to the girls. "It just that I your mom and I do not love each other the way we used to". David said to them.

Sam and Abby look at them as the family bond broke up that night. They went to their rooms for the night. Sam went to Abby. "Abby are you going to stay with mommy and me"? Sam asks Abby.

Abby looks at Sam. "No, I am going with dad. I spend most of my time with him anyways". Abby said to Sam. Sam has a devastated look on her face. "What about mom, Abby? She loves the both of us". Sam said to Abby.

Abby looks at Sam. "I am not going to ditch dad to live with mom, Sammy. I have made my decision". Abby said to Sam.

Sam has heart broken as she is hearing this. "I can not believe you are choosing dad over mom. I hate you". Sam said to Abby as she slams her older sister's door that night.

As the divorce is finalized, Sam watches Abby and her dad moved out from the house. Grace has tears in her eyes as she sees Abby going with him. 'Even though you are moving with your dad, I still love you, Abby'. Grace thought to herself as she watched the car drive off. Ironically, David did thought the same thing about Sam. 'Even though you are living with Grace, I still love you my ballerina Princess'.

End Flashback

Sam sighs as the horrible fight lead to them barely speaking at school. 'If only Abby knew about those times I needed her the most, especially against the bullies and those times I was in the hospital. Dad would have flipped and wanted the school board to do something'. Sam thought to herself as she looks at a scar on her arm when she broke her arm in three places and needed surgery.

Her mom Grace comes home from work. She is a doctor at a family clinic. "Sam, I am home". Grace said to Sam.

Sam comes down stairs as she notice a bag of food from the store. "Hey mom how was your day"? Sam asks Grace. Grace looks at Sam. "It was fine honey. I had some interesting patients". Grace said to Sam.

Sam nods as she has something on her mind. "Mom, do you still love Abby and think about her often"? Sam asks Grace.

Grace's face soften as Sam asks her about her older sister. "Yes I do, Sam. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock and be there for her in everything she does. I bet you wanted to invite your father and Abby to your dance recitals. Am I right"? Grace asks Sam.

Sam looks at Grace as she remembers the last time her dad and Abby went to her recital was before the divorce. "I thought about it mom, but I did not want to hurt your feelings that I invited him and Abby". Sam said to Grace.

Grace sighs as Sam is the one that always thought of other and her feelings before her own. "It wouldn't hurt my feelings in the slightest Sam. Your father and I have been divorced for a long time. I have not even came close to be remarried or even dating for that matter". Grace said to Sam.

Sam nods to Grace. "Ok, I will keep that in mind, mom". Sam said to Grace. Grace nods to Sam as they prepared and eat dinner.

At the unknown location, Controdez sees Attilan walking in the room. "Boss, according to my findings the silver and the pink rangers are sisters but they do not live in the same house. If we capture the younger sister, it may get them to hand over their Warrior Spheres". Attilan said to Controdez.

Controdez looks at Attilan as it is an idea to get back on his good side. "It is an intriguing idea, Attilan. The rangers will have to decide on getting the silver ranger back or have her suffer". Controdez said to Attilan.

Attilan nods to Controdez as he thinks it is his mission to complete. "Of course Boss, I will not fail you". Attilan said to Controdez. Cotrodez frowns as he looks at Attilan. "What makes you think you are going to do this, Attilan"? Controdez asks Attilan.

Attilan looks at Controdez. "Boss, I came up with the idea and report to you the findings on them. I want to get back on your good grace to fulfill this mission". Attilan said to Controdez.

Controdez rolls his eyes as he is hearing this. "Fine, you better get this mission done right otherwise, you will never leave this place for a mission". Controdez said to Attilan. Attilan nods to Controdez. "Thank you boss", Attilan said to Controdez as he went to grab a monster for the job.

The next day at school, Abby and Sam are in home ec class together. The teacher Ms. Fincher looks at her students. "This weekend, you will switch home lives with someone in the class. I will pair you off, and no you can not switch partners. You will describe how different the home life is from your partner and what you did with the family you spent with. This paper has to between 1 and two pages long and due. It will be due on Monday". Ms. Fincher said to the class.

Some of the class looked excited about the assignment while the rest of the class is indifferent about it. As Ms. Fincher is pairing up the class, she pairs Sam with Abby on the assignment.

Sam and Abby look at each other as this scenario couldn't be any more awkward. The bell rings as Abby looks at Sam. "Looks like you will be spending time with dad". Abby said to Sam.

Sam nods at Abby. "Yeah, and you will be spending time with mom". Sam said to Abby. Abby looks at Sam. "Just make sure you bring old clothes that you can get dirty in". Abby said to Sam. Sam nods as she is a bit nervous about spending time with her dad.

The others meet up at lunch as they are sitting together. "My Home EC teacher must be insane with this crazy assignment". Abby said to them. This catches their attention as they look at Abby. "It can't be that bad, Abby . Quincy said to Abby.

Abby looks at Quincy. "Try switching home lives with Sam for the weekend". Abby said to Quincy. Quincy looks at her as Sam as is getting upset. "This is for a grade, Abby. Aren't you a little bit nervous about spending time with mom? She still cares about you". Sam said to Abby.

Abby is surprised by it. "Still cares about me, even though she has never been to my boxing matches. I will believe that when I see it". Abby said to Sam.

Sam has a hurt look on her face. "You should know that I have thought about inviting you and dad to my dance recitals even after the divorce. I didn't do it because I didn't want to hurt mom's feelings. You never thought about others or their feelings but your own, Abby. It's a wonder why we are estranged". Sam said to Abby as she leaves the lunchroom.

The teens are shocked by it as they look at Abby. Abby looks at them. "What did I say"? Abby asks them. Quincy looks at Abby. "You pretty much hurt your sister's feelings, Abby". Quincy said to Abby.

Abby looks at Quincy. "You are an only child Quincy. You would not understand". Abby said to Quincy. Quincy knows she does not understand. "You are right, Abby. I am an only child, and I do not know who my dad is, and my mom died when I was born. I have my grand parents who love me dearly". Quincy said to Abby.

Callum nods to Abby as he is an only child as well. "I am also an only child as well. Plus if I have an younger brother or sister, I would look out for them. Plus if we had a major fight, I would have at least try to apologize and regain the bond we would have made". Callum said to Abby.

Ryan looks at them. "I did have three younger siblings. They used to drive me crazy every day. Even though they are at the special place in heaven with my mom and dad. I miss them every day". Ryan said to Abby.

Elliot looks at Abby. "I have three older siblings, and they live out of town. Plus they rarely spend time with me. You should be grateful that you and Sam are in the same town and on the same team". Elliot said to Abby.

Luke looks at Abby. "I have one older brother. We have a good relationship, and he helps me with my homework". Luke said to Abby.

Quincy nods to them. "Abby, perhaps there were times that Sam really needed you when she needed it most. Plus if something happens to her during a battle, would you let the estrangement control you from helping or saving her? Plus if some guy at school broke her heart, would you kick his butt for breaking her heart "? Quincy asks Abby.

Abby is in deep though about it. "I never thought it that way before". Abby said to Quincy. Quincy nods to Abby. "Maybe there are things did happen to Sam that you never knew about, Abby. You two are sisters, and we are a ranger family now. It's time to reignite the bond that was once put out". Quincy said to Abby.

Abby nods as she looks at Quincy. "You sound like the saying in a fortune cookie". Abby said to Quincy. Quincy grins as they finished lunch.

After school, Sam is still upset with Abby. She walks up to a auto repair shop. A man who has a navy blue jumpsuit with boots see Sam. His face softens as he sees her. "Sam, is that you? You have matured". David said to Sam.

Sam looks at David. "Yes, it is me dad". Sam said to him. David smiles at her. "The last time I saw you, you were prancing around in a tutu. I would hug you, but I got oil on my outfit". David said to Sam.

Sam nods to David. "I understand, and I am still dance and teach dad class now. Listen Abby and I have an assignment for home ec class where we switch home lives for the weekend. I will be with you while Abby will be with mom for the weekend. We are suppose to write a one to two page paper about it". Sam said to David.

David nods to Sam. "I see. Does your mother know about this, and does she know that you are here"? David asks Sam. Sam looks at David. "Yes she does know about the assignment, but she does not know that I am here". Sam said to David.

David nods to Sam. "I have to get back to work. I still care about you my ballerina Princess. Don't you still know that"? David asks Sam.

Sam gets teary eyes as he called her an old nickname. "I have not heard you calling me that since I was a kid, dad". Sam said to David. David smiles to Sam as he went back to work.

Sam leaves the auto repair shop as she takes a breather. 'Maybe this weekend with my dad will not be so bad'. Sam thought to herself as she is heading to the park.

At the park, Sam walk towards the playground that she and Abby used to play at together before the divorce. Sam sighs as she remember the happier times she had with Abby. It went away because of a fight that lead to being estranged.

All the sudden, Hunites, a monster, and Attilan shows up. Sam notices the kids getting really scared. "Did you really have to ruin this nice day"? Sam ask them as she is not in a good mood.

Attilan looks at Sam as he is ready to attack. "Yes, attack and scare them away". Attilan said to them. The monster and foot soldiers start to attack the innocent kids.

Sam knew she could not morph in front of the kids. She quickly got the kids to their parents. Sam grabs her morphor to call the others. "Guys, I need your help at the park". Sam said to them. "We are on the way, Sam". Quincy said to Sam.

Sam nods as she hears Quincy's voice in the communicator. 'I guess Abby could not be bothered'. Sam thought to herself as she looks at the villains. Just as she is about to fight, Sam notices a scared little boy on top of the jungle gym and the monster is about to grab him.

Sam couldn't let it happen as she punches and kicks the Hunites. Just as she gets even close to the monster. The monster fires it's energy beam at her. Sam gets hit as she went down to the ground hard.

The monster looks at her. "All alone ranger, you will be my prisoner". The monster said to Sam as it grabs her. The teens arrive at the scene in ranger form. Abby sees Sam in the monster's grip. "Abby", Sam said to Abby.

Abby is shocked to her core as the monster has her younger sister. "Sammy", Abby said to Sam.

Attilan looks at them. "If you want your precious sister back, pink ranger, you all will have to hand over your warrior sphere. Otherwise, you sister will be our prisoner". Attilan said to them.

Sam looks at them as she has that I need you look on her face. 'If you still care about me, you will come rescue me'. Sam telepathically said to Abby. Abby felt really weird as she got the telepathic message from Sam. They disappear from sight.

The rangers are shocked by it as Sam is captured.

Quincy looks at Abby who looks like she is about to cry. "We will find her, Abby". Quincy said to Abby. Abby nods to Quincy as they teleport back to the Temple.

Back at the unknown location, Controdez is pleased of the capture of the silver ranger. "Well done Attilan, put her in a cell". Controdez said to Attilan. Attilan nods to Controdez. "Of course Boss", Attilan said to Controdez.

Sam is still struggling in the monster's grip as they went to a cell. Attilan opens a cell door. The monster pushes Sam in the cell. Sam lands in the cell hard as Attilan shuts the door. "You better get use to being in here ranger". Attilan said to Sam as they walk away.

Sam sighs as she is in a lot of trouble. 'Quincy, Callum, Ryan, Luke, Elliot, and Abby, I need you'. Sam telepathically said to them. Little did Sam know that her telepathic message is heard by another prisoner.

In a different part of the evil place, in a vault like prison cell, a man is kept a prisoner. He has worn clothes and bruises all over his body. He looks like he has not seen the outside world in years. He has red hair and blue eyes.

In his mind scape, the man is coming around as he hears the telepathic message. 'The ninja is in trouble, but Quincy is my name. Then who is the other Quincy'? The man named Quincy thought to himself as he is perplexed by it.

End Chapter

Yeah, Sam is captured, and her rescue will be in the next chapter.
