1She never once imagined this happening. She had planned on moving to Reefside, so that everything else would be easier. But fate had different plans. A juice bar had opened up a block away from Hayley's Cyber Café. To make matters worse, everyone loved it.
Hayley was miserable. Someway or another, everything in her life turned into a competition. This was no exception.
It started with Tommy, competing with the two ladies in pink why won his heart easily.
Then it was all of the ranger business she dealt with. From morphers to zords to new arsenal, she had to make sure that the good guys stayed ahead of the bad guys. If she messed that up, the results would be unthinkable.
And now the thing she had babied endlessly, her Cyber Café, was just another competition.
Sitting down on the red vinyl barstool, she collapsed. Her sobs broke lose in the emprty café. She sat there for what felt like forever, letting the salty tears trail down her face. It was all going to fall apart piece by piece.
She felt a strong pair of arms envelop her in a hug. No words needed to be said. They would only be useless. But she saw a tiny bit of hope, only because these arms were around her. She'd get back ahead in the race and take first prize. She wouldn't lose the competition of life.
