It was late at night, and Graclynn was on the phone with Kira, talking about anything and everything they could think about. 'How are you and Cam doing?' Kira asked Graclynn

Graclynn sighed, a dreamy, love struck sigh, and answered, "Amazing, I feel like I can tell him anything and we finally had our first kiss a couple night ago and every time I think about it, I feel like I'm on Cloud 9. How are you and Trent?"

Kira answered, 'Well, we haven't really talked a lot because he's busy with his art and I'm busy with my music but we're making it work. Are you going to the High School Reunion in a couple of weeks?'

Graclynn replied, "I don't know, maybe, I'm still thinking about it. It would be nice to see Dr. O, Conner, Ethan, Trent, and you, if you go."

Kira sighed, 'I could try to go, but only if you try to come too.'

Graclynn giggled, "Only for you Kir, I got to go before my Dad comes in and takes my phone away."

Kira laughed, 'Alright, Bye Grace. Love you.'

Graclynn smiled, "Love you too Kir, Bye."

Graclynn hung up and put her phone on her dresser and started falling asleep where she had a dream/vision of a monster turning a man walking in the streets alone into stone. Graclynn quickly woke up and noticed that it was morning already, so she quickly got ready for work and walked out of her room and saw that her Dad was still here and making breakfast. Graclynn cautiously walked in and stated, "Dad, what are you still doing here…"

Graclynn's Dad turned around and answered his confused daughter, "I have the day off so I decided to make you breakfast."

Graclynn scoffed, "Dad, you can't cook to save your life, no offense Dad."

Graclynn's Dad hung his head in defeat, "Alright, I asked our neighbor, Lola Greenway, to make it for us this morning while you were still sleeping."

Graclynn nodded and asked her Dad, "What time is it?"

Graclynn's Dad answered, "9:00, why?"

Graclynn's eyes widened, "I'm late for work! I have to go, sorry I can't eat the "the breakfast you made" but I have to go."

Graclynn put on her shoes and ran out the door before her Father could reply to her. Graclynn made it to Rock Porium and saw Maddie recording Vida and saw that there were customers in the store and her shyness kicked in and she quickly hid behind the counter. Graclynn saw Maddie recording Xander reading the newspaper, "Been another attack, right around here. Man turned to stone."

Graclynn saw Chip and whispered, "Chip! Chip!"

Chip looked around to find who said his name before he spotted Graclynn hiding behind the counter. Chip chuckled before he told Maddie and Xander, "Gracie is hiding behind the counter again."

Maddie and Xander chuckled before Maddie walked over to where Graclynn was and pointed the camera at her, "What are you doing Gracie?"

Graclynn shrieked, "Get that camera out of my face Madz, you know I hate your camera."

Maddie laughed at Graclynn and pointed her camera towards Toby who was arguing with a customer at the counter where Graclynn was hiding. "We don't have 8-track-tapes, you Neanderthal. The fidelity on those things is horrible. Now, get back into your pinto and take your business elsewhere."

Maddie and Graclynn asked, "Toby, why so cranky today?"

Toby replied, "I'm… fasting, I'm trying to cleanse my body and my mind, which means no food—no Pork Rinds, no Cheese Fries, No Snack Cakes, no nothing. I'm so hungry, I could eat the oldies section."

Maddie and Graclynn were giggling and Graclynn finally came from behind the counter and stood next to Maddie, still shying away from people though. A man walked in eating something and Toby told him, "Hey, uh, Dorkmeister, no outside food allowed."

Maddie and Graclynn walked away from Toby, Graclynn quickly glared at Lee Lee, who glared back. The two girls have a mutual hatred for each other. Maddie asked, "Hmm. Where's Nick?"

Graclynn shrugged her shoulders and Maddie opened the door to Toby's office and found Nick in there. Graclynn quickly ran over to her stuff that was in Toby's office and grabbed her notebook and started writing lyrics down in there. Nick told Maddie, "Oh, Get that thing away from me."

Graclynn and Maddie awed, "Oh, come on, Nick. Don't be shy…"

Nick answered, "Me? I'm not the one who's always hiding behind the camera or the one who's hiding from new people and customers."

Graclynn glared at Nick and Maddie put her camera down as they stated, "I'm not hiding."

Nick replied, "I've watched you, Madison. You're so busy filming other people having fun, you never get out there and have fun yourself. Graclynn, you're so busy hiding from people, you never get out there and make new friends."

Graclynn hung her head down and Maddie defended herself, "I have fun."

Nick asked, "Yeah?"

Maddie agreed, "Yeah."

Nick asked her again, "When's the last time you went out there and did something different, something spontaneous?"

Maddie answered, "Spontaneous? Okay, yesterday… I went to buy toothpaste. I always buy peppermint and I thought, 'No I'm gonna do something different,' and I bought Wintergreen."

Graclynn looked at Maddie with a sad look in her eyes and Nick repeated, "Wintergreen?"

Maddie stated, "Yeah, I—Wintergreen."

Nick laughed at Maddie as he walked past Graclynn and told Maddie, "You're a wild woman, all right." He hit Maddie lightly on the head with a magazine and walked out the door, "Whoo!"

Graclynn looked at Maddie and asked, "Is that true Madz?"

Maddie looked at Graclynn and pulled her into a sisterly hug and Graclynn started silently crying, Graclynn doesn't really have the best luck when it comes to people their age. Everyone she meets, they are really rude, unlike her friends from Briarwood, Blue Harbor, and Reefside. Maddie chased after Nick but Graclynn stayed inside Toby's office and finished her lyrics for a few more minutes and walked out, seeing Maddie leaving so Graclynn followed and told Toby, "I'm going on break."

Graclynn walked besides Maddie and asked, "What did Lee Lee say?"

Maddie answered, "She made from of my shoes."

Graclynn sighed, "I'm tempted to go back in the store and beat her to a pulp, like I did Brianna in Junior Year."

Maddie laughed at Graclynn, Graclynn beat Brianna up so bad that Brianna was stuck in the hospital almost for two whole months. Maddie told Graclynn, "I can't believe everyone thinks we're these shy little Wallflower. I can be spontaneous sometimes and you think can talk people other than us sometimes."

Graclynn nodded and she saw a boy running towards a football and told Maddie, "Be spontaneous and go ask that guy for his number."

Maddie nodded and started heading towards him but some of the guy's friends showed up and Maddie changed her mind, so she turned around and started heading towards Graclynn but thought for a moment then turned back around to talk to the guy but then changed her mind again. This went on for a moment and Graclynn heard Maddie say but her mouth wasn't moving, "Nick's right. I'm pathetic."

Graclynn was shocked and didn't hear the rest of what Maddie said in her head. First the strange vision and now reading people's minds. Graclynn shook her head and saw Maddie talking to the boy and she was so excited her Maddie. Maddie soon walked off with the boy and Graclynn pulled out her phone and played Like a Boy by Ciara and started dancing. After Graclynn finished, she heard shouting and people were running from something. Graclynn walked towards Maddie and pulled out her morpher. A monster showed up and turned the dudes that were playing football with the boy Maddie was talking to into stone.

Graclynn gasped and looked at Maddie, wondering when they could morph when the guy Maddie was talking to, said, "Hey!"

The monster turned around and Maddie pushed him out of the way, "Get out of here! Run!"

Graclynn started morphing when she saw the monster about to hit Maddie with the beam so Graclynn push Maddie out of the way and she was turned into stone. Vida, Nick, Chip, and Xander showed up right after they were turned to stone and Vida shouted, "SIS! SIS!"

The guy Maddie was talking to, helped Maddie before running away like Maddie told him to. They all ran towards the stone statues of their friends. Vida stood in front of Graclynn before touching her face. Vida turned around and faced Necrolai, "You Witch, you're gonna pay for that."

Vida pulled out her Magi Staff, "Magi Staff, Wind Power!"

Pink Butterfly wings appeared on Vida's back and the wings blew Necrolai and the monster away from them and on the floor. Necrolai and the monster stood up and Vida asked them, "Want more?"

Necrolai told Vida, "Foolish girl, don't you see you can never stop us, especially now you're down a ranger?"

Necrolai and the monster laughed evilly as they disappeared to the Underworld. The Rangers shouted towards them, "STOP!" but it was no use, they were gone and the rangers had no clue on how to change Graclynn back.

Vida turned around with Maddie and faced Graclynn, "We got to get her back to Root Core."

"Sorveda Mercuius." Udonna casted on Graclynn and nothing worked, "This creature's magic is very strong. Only by destroying him can the spell be broken."

Chip, Xander, and Nick set Graclynn down. Vida looked at Graclynn, "Oh, I'll destroy him, all right, with my bare hands."

Vida started running towards the Mystic Racers but Maddie slowed her down, "Slow down, Vida. Calm down, V. Calm down, please. If you rush out of here without a plan, you'll wind up just like Grace."

Vida looked away from Xander and Nick spoke, "That's how Graclynn got into trouble in the first place. She should have been more careful."

Maddie looked at Nick, "The monster was about to hit me with the beam but Grace pushed me out of the way and now she's a stone."

Vida agreed, "Man, you don't know Graclynn. She may be shy on the outside, but inside, she has the heart of a warrior."

Nick scoffed, "Right, that's why she's always hiding from people and Maddie hides behind her camera."

Vida got in Nick's face, "You are so clueless."

Maddie used her morpher and made her camera footage appear on the computer screen in Root Core. Vida stated, "This is why Maddie always hid behinds the camera, and Graclynn hides from people."

The video started showing Vida used the turn tables at Rock Porium, 'Introducing D.J. Vida…'
Vida shouted towards the camera, 'Love you sis.'
Maddie started speaking, '…The best sister ever. Go V.'
Then the video showed Xander messing around with his skateboard, 'Can't forget Xander—not only a great friend, but he's sick on his board.'
It then showed Chip with his bow and arrow along with Graclynn with her bow and arrow, 'No man has ever attempted this without losing his life.'
Graclynn smacked Chip, 'Stop being over dramatic Chippie.'
Chip stuck his tongue out at Graclynn before loading his bow and arrow and released his arrow and hit his target, 'Chip Thorn—known him since Grammar School. There's nobody in this world quite like Chip… Well maybe Graclynn McKnight—known her since High School and we've been sister since.'
The video cut to different shots of Graclynn, her singing, dancing, writing, archery, reading, and helping others around town, 'Graclynn is our shy little sister and we, Vida, Chip, Xander, and I, protect her just like a younger sister. Graclynn barely had friends and was bullied but she became friends with us and it was like she truly belonged with us.'
The camera showed Graclynn laughing with the gang before she spotted the camera and threw a couple of marshmallows at the camera, 'Madz, you promised that you wouldn't use your camera.'
The video then cut to Xander skateboarding, 'Yeah, how about a little extreme Xander?'
Then the video showed Nick fixing his motorcycle and then riding it, 'Then there's Nick, the new guy in town. We don't know too much about him yet, but I can feel it—he's something special.'
'So, those are my friends, old and new. I know I can count on them for anything.'

Udonna spoke after the video ended, "Everyone has a different way of expressing themselves, Nick. Maybe Madison does it through film and Graclynn does it by being who she truly is."

Maddie told Nick, "Watch this, this kind of the reason why she's like that. I had no idea my camera was on until I made this video."

The video showed Graclynn, Vida, and Maddie in Graclynn's room where Graclynn was crying and she told Vida and Maddie, 'So I'm thinking that I should go live with my aunt and uncle for the rest of senior year because I can't stand to stay here any longer, at least not with her.'
Maddie told Graclynn, 'Do what's best for you Gracie and I still don't know why you haven't called the police on her.'
Graclynn smiled at Maddie with tears still streaming down her face, 'Because, they'll ask my dad about it and he's gonna say that he had no idea and then they are going to charge him for child neglect, but he's only doing his job so I can have a roof over my head and food on the table.'
Vida smiled at Graclynn and gave her a hug, 'Go for it. We'll cover for you and call us when you make it to Reefside, okay?'
Graclynn smiled brightly at Vida before pulling Vida and Maddie into a group hug, 'Thank you! Thank you so much! I promise to call you! I love you two so much!'

Vida told Nick, "Gracie was abused by her mother and was bullied in school, so that's why she was so shy."

Nick was silent for a few moments before answering, "You're right. I was clueless, I'm sorry Maddie." Nick walked over to Graclynn and stated, "I shouldn't have gone shooting my mouth off. I'm gonna get you out of this Gracie, I promise."

Xenotone opened and revealed a new spell code. Udonna walked over to the 'Xenotone' and looked at the code, "Apparently, you now have a clue."

Nick stated, "A new spell code."

The crystal ball showed the monster terrorizing people in the city, "He's back." Nick said, "You guys ready to do this for Gracie."

Vida shouted, "YEAH, LET'S ROCK! Sorry, Grace."

They, Maddie, Xander, Vida, Nick, and Chip, pulled out their morphers, dialed '123', and shouted, "MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!"

Chip morphed into his Yellow Ranger suit, Maddie morphed into her Blue Ranger suit, Vida morphed into her Pink Ranger suit, Xander morphed into his Green Ranger suit, and Nick morphed into his Red Ranger suit. They all grabbed their Mystic Racers ran towards their designated spots that transport them outside. They shouted together, "Galwit Mysto Aerotan!"

They started their engines before racing off towards where the monster was terrorizing the people in Briarwood. Koragg saw the Rangers and had some Stickzoids shoot them down. The Rangers dodged them and they were all yelling. They all regroup and Nick told the team, "You go ahead and stop that monster, I'll hold off Koragg and his goons."

Xander replied, "Okay, be careful."

Nick nodded, "I'll catch up."

Koragg saw Nick about to land and told his goons, "Get him, Stickzoids."

The Stickzoids shot at Nick but they missed and the battle between the Red Ranger and Koragg began.

The Rangers, except Nick, made it to Briarwood and saw the monster turning citizens into stone. Xander jumped in the air and kicked the monster in the chest. The monster flew back and Xander landed on his feet and told the monster, "Back off."

Maddie, Chip, and Vida landed next to Xander and Chip had his Magi Staff that turned into a crossbow. Chip shot lighting arrows at the monster but Necrolai landed in front of the monster and blocked the lighting arrows. Necrolai shot purple beams at the Rangers and hit them. They landed on the ground in pain.

Meanwhile in the forest, Nick defeated some of the Stickzoids and was going to meet the other Rangers but Koragg wouldn't let that happen so he jumped in the air and sliced Nick's Mystic Racer so that it was damaged. Nick decided to use the new spell code they received earlier and dialed '124'. The new spell code was a Mystic Speeder and when Nick crashed landed, Koragg thought he was gone but Nick rode out of a cloud of smoke on his Mystic Speeder. The Stickzoids tried to stop Nick but started destroying them by shooting lasers from his Mystic Speeder at the Stickzoids.

Nick was destroying Stickzoids left from right. When Nick finally destroyed all of the Stickzoids, Nick went after Koragg. Koragg blocked Nick's Mystic Speeder but was unable to block the lasers Nick shot at him. Koragg flew back and blocked the other lasers Nick shot at him. Koragg used his Wolf Attack on Nick but Nick was able to dodge it and shot a laser at Koragg, which hit him in his chest. Koragg fell to his knees for a brief moment before standing back up and told Nick, "Your magic isn't strong enough to defeat me."

Nick told Koragg, "Its strong enough today." Then he rode off to where the others were.

Back to where Xander, Vida, Chip, and Maddie were, they were fighting Necrolai and they were getting their butts kicked. The monster started walking towards the fallen Rangers to turn them into stone but Nick interfered by shooting lasers at the monster. Nick landed in front of the Rangers still on his Mysto Speeder and stated, "Enough's enough!"

Nick got off his Mysto Speeder and pulled out his Magi Staff, "Magi Staff!"

The monster started warming up to shoot Nick with his laser that turns people into stone. Nick casted a spell with his Magi Staff, "Reflectus Torgo!"

A mirror as tall as Nick appeared in front of him and the laser that the monster shot at Nick reflected back and hit the monster, causing him to turn into to stone. The mirror in front of Nick disappeared and stated, "How do you like that? Now to end this."

Nick used his Magi Staff, "Power of the Phoenix!"

Fire surrounded Nick's body and the fire took the shape of a phoenix. Nick flew towards the stone monster and destroyed the monster. All the people that were turned to stone were back to normal. Graclynn was turned back to normal and dialed '123' and shouted "MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!"

Graclynn morphed into her Purple Ranger suit before she realized she was in Root Core. Graclynn looked around in confusion and asked Udonna, "What's going on? How did I get here?"

Udonna chuckled before answering, "I'll tell you later child, now go help your friends."

Graclynn nodded and grabbed her Mystic Racer before going to her spot to be teleported outside of Root Core. Graclynn arrived to where the others were and say that the monster was now 300 feet tall. Vida and Maddie exclaimed, "Sis, you're okay!"

Graclynn smirked, "Looks like I got here just in time."

Nick started talking to Graclynn and Maddie, "Hey Graclynn and Madison, I was a jerk. I'm sorry I said you were too shy."

Maddie and Graclynn replied, "Apology accepted. Let's just forget about it." As Graclynn added, "Besides, I know I'm too shy so I embrace it as a part of me."

Graclynn and Maddie earned a new spell code after Maddie, Graclynn, and Nick's heart to heart moment. Maddie and Graclynn stated, "I guess we both learned something today."

Nick replied, "We sure did."

The Rangers transformed into their Titan forms. The monster told the Rangers, "You can't handle this."

Graclynn told the monster, "Watch us!" then Graclynn told the Rangers, "Let's try our new spell code."

Vida and Maddie told Graclynn, "Go for it sis!"

They all shouted, "Galwit Mysto Unios!"

All of the Titan zords combined and made the Megazord. Xander was the body, Maddie was the legs, Chip was the wings, Vida and Nick were the chest armor, and Graclynn was extra armor for the entire Megazord. The Rangers were inside the zord and the inside was like a Chessboard. Xander stated, "Whoa, this place is freaky."

Vida agreed, "You got that right."

Maddie and Graclynn told them, "The cockpit is like a Chessboard. We control our fight with strategical moves."

Chip also stated, "Lucky for Grace and me, we belong to the chess club at school."

Graclynn objected, "I used to be a part of the chess club, remember I graduated."

Nick said, "Okay, guys, let's get serious."

Everyone stated, "Titan Megazord!"

The monster told the Rangers, "That doesn't scare me." The monster shot fire at the Megazord but it missed because Chip's wings and Graclynn's Mystic shield protected them. Graclynn's shield and Chip's wings disappeared and the Rangers made their Titan Saber appear as the monster started running towards them. They grabbed the Saber and swung it at the monster, just as he was in front of them, and sliced him. The monster was thrown back and he landed on his back. The Rangers used their powers all at once and shouted, "ANCIENT POWER, MYSTIC SPELLSEER!"

The Rangers drew the Mystic Circle and sliced it towards the monster and destroyed the monster once and for all. The Rangers stated together, "Checkmate."

Graclynn giggled, "My first 300-foot tall monster battle, I say we celebrate with candy and soda and gummy bears and all kinds of sugar snacks."

The others glanced at each other amused at their friend's childish personality.

They were all back at Rock Porium, Maddie was videoing Vida being her usual DJ self. Vida told Maddie with a smile on her face, "Make sure you're getting my good side, sis."

Vida then turned around and shook her butt at the camera and Maddie was laughing at her sister. The guy Maddie was talking to earlier appear in front of her camera and she was shocked to see him. Vida saw her best friend, Graclynn, whining at her boyfriend, Cam, "Cam, please give me my Gummy Bears back, I earned those after being turned into stone," then she lowered her voice, "And defeating my first 300-foot monster today."

Cam smiled at Graclynn, amused, "You've already had 4 chocolate bars, 7 cans of soda, 9 packs of sour patch kids, 3 packs of sour straws, and this is your 10th pack of gummy bears, Graclynn so you can't and don't need any more sweets."

Graclynn pouted and crossed her arms while turning away from Cam, facing Vida who was laughing at her. She stuck her tongue at Vida before she was turned around by Cam and was giving a kiss on the lips. Graclynn blushed before kissing Cam back briefly before pulling away, stating, "No more kisses for you until you give me back my pack of gummy bears."

Cam sighed before handing Graclynn her gummy bears back. Graclynn smiled at Cam brightly before standing on her tippy toes and giving Cam a kiss on the lips before pulling away and skipping away from him saying, "By the way, I have your keys and if you want them, you have to catch me."

Graclynn was out the store and started running and giggling as she heard Cam say her name, "Graclynn!"
