Chapter 14: Wendy's Choice
The day started like any other day, the rangers have gotten out of classes and headed home from a long day of studying and doing work for the ungrateful teachers they had saved months ago. As the Rangers gathered to meet Justin to take them home, Wendy walked away from the group and headed in a different direction.
"Where is she going?" asked James as he watched her walk away
"Damn kid, you're so dumb. She hasn't forgotten what she did. Wendy isn't like Mike over here that can put his doubts into a night of clubbing and meeting random women" said Justin as the rest of the group got into the car.
Wendy continued her walk all the way to her house. When she walked into her house the skies darkened and it started to rain hard as she walked up to her bedroom and went to her dresser drawer. When Wendy opened the drawer, she reached in and took out a small pink book with a torn cover, where a picture used to be, and opened it. She then sat down and took out her pen from her back pocket and began to write.
'Dear Diary,
It's been along time since I have been really able to sit and write in you. There have been a bunch of things I have to tell you since I last wrote in you and I have a good reason why I haven't been able to write. I have a secret to tell you but, if anyone came along and took you away, my secret could be told to anyone who got their hands on you. To be honest, I would love to write down this, but, what the hell, ok. The reason why I haven't been writing anything down in you for awhile is because I'm a Power Ranger. It all started a few months back; I was at the carnival with my friends and then boyfriend, James. Everything started off very normally. We were playing games and James won a big stuffed bear for me, which I think is now somewhere on the Staten Island Dump. Then a group of weird creatures, that we now know are Blackhearts, appeared at the carnival. James, that arrogant SOB, wanted to head into the battle, but the rest of us convinced him that we should run. I hate him so much…..All he wanted to do was fight and he never even thought I could take care of myself. He is so dumb sometimes. He feels bad about having to attack me and Mike, but we were evil, that's what a Ranger is supposed to do, right? Well back to the story, after the Blackhearts attacked the carnival and we took care of them we were all teleported into some weird, science fiction type place where there was a talking Robot and an old guy. The robot was Alpha 8 and the old guy is Zordon. He is this interdimensional being and this all around good guy that decided that we would be good candidates to be his new Power Rangers. For the longest time, I always thought that the Power Rangers were some great chosen group of amazing fighters. Zordon was in luck when he chose us. I had been a fighter since I was little, plus that jerk James taught me some of his moves. After all the introductions our cell phones morphed, well, into our morphers which allowed us to transform into Power Rangers. Each of us was given an animal form so we were able to fight Blackborg. I was given the Deer Sprit, which years ago was the love interest of both Lupis and Cats-eye, whose powers were in James and Mike. So with our new powers, we were teleported back to the carnival and defeated one of Blackborg's Generals. Oh let me get back to why I said he was Alpha 8.What happened was, awhile back there was this creature known as Cy-Borg who came and attacked the Earth. The group was split up and so Justin and that bastard James went off to get rid of the creature but then when James went off the deep end in their battle and lead Cy-Borg back to the Power Chamber. There Cy-Borg tried to kill Zordon but Alpha got in the way. Lucky for us Justin was able to kill Cy-Borg and we used the body of the robots to recreate Alpha as Alpha 9. We hit a snag when Alpha was rebuilt, because all of his memory was pretty much whipped out and he could only speak Spanish. So now he lives with Phil and his family." wrote Wendy until there was a knock on the door.
Wendy quickly got up from writing in her diary and headed down the stairs and opened the door. In the doorway stood Wendy's cousin Judy, still in her cheerleading uniform.
"I guess you just came from the practice at the Y huh" asked Wendy as she let her cousin come in.
"Yea, it was intense. The squad is getting ready for the competition this weekend. So we are practicing all year for this." said Judy as she sat on the couch and turned on the TV.
"So that all, you are so wrapped up into this cheerleading thing" said Wendy as she walked over to the kitchen to grab something to eat.
"Oh, guess who I saw down ay the Y. James and the guys. They were playing some ball. James looked kind of hot trying to dunk over Phil. I mean even though they all play good, he was looking good in those shorts" said Judy as she continued to flip through the channels.
"What did I tell you about mentioning his name. He is such a jerk. A backstabber like that doesn't deserve a real name." yelled Wendy from the kitchen.
"Soooo. He is still hot, if you don't want him, I'll take him." said Judy laughing as Wendy continued to scream from the kitchen that James was such a jerk.
"Fine if you want a back stabber that's all you. I'm not going to warn you ever again. He just…He just…" said Wendy as she started to cry.
"Hey cuz, I really didn't mean that I would get with him but he is still cute and all" said Judy in an attempt to consul her cousin.
"That jerk" said Wendy in-between her cries.
"Hey Wendy, can you tell me what happened?" ask Judy as she went in the freezer and took out some ice. Wendy and Judy then walked to the couch and put on channel 188 which was doing break-up songs.
"Ok this is how…how…how it went. It was three days before I stayed at my friend's house. The guys decided to go out and have a good time that night because we all just passed this test. I wasn't feeling well so I decided to go home for awhile to relax." said Wendy as her tears started to clear up.
"That doesn't sound so bad." said Judy as she took some ice cream from the container
'I wish I could tell her that the reason we were celebrating was because we had been on a crazy winning spree against Blackborg and the reason that I couldn't go was that I was still to wounded from the last couple of fights' thought Wendy.
"I know James and he wouldn't have done anything that bad" said Judy as she continued to eat more of the ice cream
"Well this is how it went down. I was feeling better and I jumped into the shower and changed my clothes to meet up with the guys. They went down to the club, The Knockz. It was the only club we could think of that wouldn't check us for id." said Wendy as she took the ice cream from Judy.
"The Knockz, I know your mother and father were not happy to know that" said Judy
"Yea, they didn't know. I told them I was at your house" said Wendy as she at some more of the ice cream
"Oh, ok then so tell me what James did." said Judy
"Ok, well, I got out of the house and took the bus down to where the Knockz was and got off and ran to the door. There my friend from English let me cut in line and I got into the club. As I walked around the club to find where the guys were and then it happened. There was James dancing with this other girl. That slut was dancing all over my man and he didn't even care. James all into it. What the hell. He should of just stayed home or stayed with me to see if I got better. This whore was really dancing all over him and he didn't even stop her. What kind of girl dances up on my man and then there is James. That guy gets me so mad." scream Wendy as she revealed the reason that she broke up with James.
'I shouldn't tell her that I was that girl that was dancing on James. He needed to relax and Mike told me that he was tense so I loosened him up a little' thought Judy as she handed Wendy some ice cream.
The night continued on as the girls talked about school and guys and what celebrity was doing what and whom. Then a car pulled up to the house and there was a rush of footsteps that came to the door.
"Who can that be" said Wendy as she got up to get the door.
She then opened the door as Mike, Justin, Phil and James ran in with a cake.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!" Screamed Mike, Justin, Phil, Judy and James as they sat down and put down the cake.
"What?!?! I didn't think you guys would remember" said Wendy as tears filled her eyes
"No more crying. We just got done doing that" said Judy as Wendy blew out her candles on her cake.
"So what did you wish for?" asked James
"If I tell you, then it won't come true" said Wendy as she went over and gave James a kiss on the cheek.
The Rangers and Judy then celebrated later into the night. The laughter filled the house and there was cake and soda everywhere. After a great night of celebrating the Rangers cleaned up the mess and helped finish off the cake that was left.
"Hey we're heading out for the night." said Justin as he walked out to start his car
"Yea I got work tomorrow and there are plenty of clubs to hit tonight" said Mike as he walked with Justin out to the car.
"Yea Cuz, I'm going to catch a ride with Mike and head out to a few more clubs" said Judy as she went over and gave a hug to
Wendy and walked out to the car with Justin and Mike.
"Wendy, happy birthday. I'll call you tomorrow about the project for class" said Phil as he walked out to the car
"Hey are you leaving yet?" asked Wendy as she looked at James
"Yea, but we have to talk" said James
"I know" said Wendy
"Let me go first. I understand that you have your reasons on breaking it off. I get it so for now we can take a break. If we keep going out we may one day become bored of each other. Then we couldn't get married when the day comes. What do you want your whole life wondering if you could been with more people and seen more things? This is the time to do it." said James as he walked over to Wendy and gave her a kiss and then walked out to catch Justin right before he pulled out.
"That jerk" said Wendy as she walked back to her room.
When Wendy reached her room she took out a half ripped picture of her and James and placed it back onto her dairy. Then out of no where, Wendy's morpher went off.
"What is it Zordon?" asked Wendy
"I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and that I have a secret mission for you" said Zordon
"What!? A secret mission?" asked Wendy
"Yes" said Zordon
"I'll be right there" said Wendy as she teleported away from her room to the power chamber.
Meanwhile in Space
"Those Chimera forms may be a threat to us and we have to figure out a way to stop them from getting those forms" Said Blackborg as he clenched his hand.
