The sun came out and lighten up Mia's room. She was still sleeping when light fell on her eyes, waking her up. Then she rolled on her bed and rubbed her eyes remembering the last night.

She had arrived to her house, exhausted after taking care of Emily for more than three days in the hospital, and also she practically lived in Emily's house. Being in someone else's house could be uncomfortable most of the times and also hospitals weren't a good place to stay in for a long time and it was even worse when you had to travel every day from hospital to house and vice-versa.

Mia threw the blankets off and got up. She chose a new outfit for the day and reached to the bathroom. When she finished taking a shower, her mother called her. "Mia, breakfast's ready!"

"Coming, mom!" The pink ranger brushed her wet hair and stepped out to the dining room.

Her father was already sat on the table and the plates with scramble eggs and bacon were served. She took a seat on the table and her father greeted her. Her mother kissed her cheek.

"Did you have a good night?"

The pink ranger nodded her head. "Yes, it's really nice to sleep without worries."

"It's is." Her mother replied. She poured orange juice in Mia's glass, then in hers and finally on her husband's. But as soon she served him, he gave a quick sip and stood up.

"I'm going... Have a great day girls" He took his lunch from the table and kissed her wife.

Mia said goodbye, too, and started on her breakfast. Her mother took a seat with her. The breakfast was fine and her house was fine. Mia was thinking in how much she had missed her family and a traditional breakfast, nothing like the breakfast on the Shiba house. Every bite on her food was gloriously delicious.

When her mother finished, she cleaned the table, put the dishes on the dishwasher and sat with Mia again.

"So Mia, are you going to that academy today?"

"Yes, mom. I think I'm on time. I didn't lose too much classes, I guess."

Her mother nodded her head and smiled. "I think you will be a great chef, my love."

"I'll try mom." Mia smiled back and got up. She took her purse and reached to the door. "I'm going now mom, I'll ask if I still can go."

"Best of luck Mia."

"Thanks."

Mia walked down the street to the Culinary Academy. She was excited to go, but was afraid of not being accepted after so many absents. She looked for her phone to call Emily but noticed she had her samuraizer inside her purse. It wasn't necessary now that the nighloks were defeated but she carried it with her just in case. So, she thought the samuraizr would be easier to use than her cell phone. She dialoged Emily's number. The yellow ranger answered, and wished Mia good luck. It was the last thing she could do.

The pink ranger finally arrived at the academy. It was a big place where to study and learn about food. She walked into it and saw in the other side by a desk a young woman. The woman had a magazine on her hands. It was a magazine with the cover photo of the samurai rangers, but when she heard Mia entering she put it down. "Good Morning, may I help you?"

Mia nodded. "Uh, good morning, uh... I'm here because I had signed up in here but for a personal situation I couldn't attend since the start of the classes, and I was wondering if there was a possibility if I could start now."

"Name?" The young girl asked.

"Mia Watanabe."

The receptionist started to search Mia's name on the computer she had, and after few minutes she looked to Mia "You missed six classes. That's a big number but you still are on the limit."

Hearing this, Mia's smile appeared. "Oh really? That's good! Thank you! I'll be here tomorrow."

"Yeah, super cool." the girl muttered to herself "You need to be here at ten. Don't be late."

"I won't "Mia said. "So that's all?"

"That's all." the receptionist replied without any expression on her face or body. She sighed and took back her magazine.

Mia got the hint, but when she was about to turned she looked her picture as the pink ranger on the magazine. She felt something but she couldn't recognize it. Maybe it was happiness or sadness or fear. She just ignored it and walked out. But in that very moment her samuraizer started to ring.

Her heart stopped as did she. It was a sound she never ever wanted to hear again but assumed it was Emily just calling her to ask if she had had luck. She was right. "Hey Em…" Mia tried to sound as calm as possible. "Yes Emily, I'll return… Yes… Don't be sorry… I will… Maybe now… See you" After a quick chat with the yellow ranger she hung out. But when she started to walk outside, she put her samuraizer on her purse.

But she didn't notice it fell on the floor.
