Aya flew on the air currents, the sunlight glittering off her crimson feathers as she swoop and dived at the river that flowed just beyond the boundary of where she was allowed to fly in her natural form, she was hunting for fish. She looked down at the glistening water and stuck with her talons ready and flapped her powerful wings, bringing up a fish. She glided to a tree where she had made a nest and settled down to her breakfast. Sometimes she just wanted to be alone, so she found this tree and in it's hollowed trunk she made herself a cozy nest out of purloined items, that wouldn't be missed.
"I thought I'd find you here," Desiree states swinging up onto the branch just outside the entrance to Aya's nest
*Yes, I come here when you're at school, not unless I want to talk about fossils with Tommy,* Aya replies, she blinked and tilted her head to the side, *Is that a problem?*
Desiree shook her head, "No, I like it that you're behaving well like a bird but since when do birds use discarded towels and old shirts as nesting material?"
*You were going to throw them away, they wouldn't be missed. Besides who says I have to make a nest out of twigs?* Aya answers.
"No one, nevermind since when are you normal." Desiree answers.
*Aren't you supposed to be in school?* Aya asks clicking her beak in a disapproving way.
"Oh I am, I'm just skipping first period. Anton Mercer gives me the creeps." Desiree replies, "So does Randell besides I hacked Tommy's email and gave myself permission to skip, saying I was helping him since he's sick."
*What am I going to do with you?* Aya asks as she stands up and hops out of her nest onto the branch next to Desiree,
"Keep me," Desiree answers, "Who else is going to feed you honeydew strips without fear of getting their fingers bitten off."
*Angelica,* Aya replies, *Or Sensai, Cam, Shane, Tori, Blake, Hunter, Dustin,*
"and anyone else who has met you so far. But I think Conner is still mad that you punctured his soccer ball." Desiree smiled.
Aya heaved a sigh, *Then he shouldn't have left it in the lab where I could reach it. You know I have a liking for all things Red.*
Desiree glanced at the inside and saw the ruined ball that was the underlining of her partner's nest, her alarm on her watch went off, and she sighed. "Well it's off to second period for me."
~~~~After school, Haley's~~~~
Desiree sat on a barstool as Angelica was washing dishes and putting them into the dishwasher, as Trent was leaving.
"Trent, We're out of soy milk," Angelica states as she was running back and forth,
"Right," Trent replies leaving.
Desiree looked over her shoulder through the window and seen how bummed out Kira looked before walking off. "Yo, Sis."
"What?" Angelica asks
"I'm leaving, Kira looks upset." Desiree explains, before hopping down and giving her sister a five dollar bill, for her drink.
"Okay, I'll see ya later." Angelica replies
Desiree walked out and saw Kira using the gem bracelet to get a hold of Conner. "Conner, are you there?"
The Dino Ninja walked up besides Kira, who wasn't paying attention.
"Hey, Kira. Unfortunately he's a little fired right now, are you alright?" Haley answers.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just wanted to him that..." Kira began.
"Can we call you back, we're working on the control program for the new assault vehicle?" Haley interrupts
"Yeah sure, what about Ethan is he around?" Kira asks
"Tell her unless she's being attacked by something green and scaly send me an email." Ethan states
Desiree hadn't a doubt he was in front of his laptop playing a game.
"Did you hear that?" Haley asks
"Yeah, I heard." Kira replies.
"And Ethan's right, unless it's an emergency we should keep the communication frequency clear," Haley states.
"Alright, Sorry," Kira apologized
Desiree looked at her friend, "Kira, you should have came inside."
Kira turned and saw Desiree standing there. "I thought you wouldn't be here,"
"Nah, who me?, I was inside. What's up?" Desiree asks
Kira started to explain how this music producer wanted her in a video,
"Cool," Desiree states, but Kira was still looking bummed about the others not wanting to know. "Come one, I'll buy you a smoothie to celebrate."
Desiree was at the counter waiting on her sister to fill her order, while Kira was at a computer still looking bummed out.
"Someone looks bummed out today," Cassidy states, coming up to Kira. "What's the matter, you find out you're not the next Hilary Duff?"
"You know what even you aren't going to ruin today Cassidy," Kira replies,
"Why not?" Cassidy asks
"Well if I have to tell someone else it might as well be you, I got a call from a really big music manager, he wants to sign me and record one of my songs. Do a video and everything," Kira replies,
"If you done with the computer, I really need to use it." Cassidy states not paying attention to any Kira just said.
"thanks for listening," Kira states
"No problem, Can you move, I have things to do and it doesn't involve a wanna-be rock star." Cassidy replies. She moves pass Kira and takes over the computer.
Desiree handed Kira's smoothie, "Mind if I tag along?"
"Yeah, sure. Besides you know about big time stuff then I do," Kira replies,
~~~another part of town.~~~
Desiree and Kira arrived at a place called Tones Records.
They walked in the building the wood floors were polished. There were chairs and musical instruments everywhere
"Hello?" Kira called out, "Anybody here, Hello?"
A blonde haired man wearing shades and white shirt with jeans on, "You must be Kira, welcome to my home. Walk with me,"
"Wait.." Kira states, "You live here?"
"my ideas do this is my creative home. This is where I make my stars, Kira. Stars like you." the man replies, before noticing Desiree "And you are?"
"Moral support." Desiree replies,
"Great so what do I do?" Kira asks
"Just follow my lead." the man replies "If you can promise me your loyalty, trust. I can promise you your dreams. Does that sound fair?"
"Yeah I guess it does." Kira answers
"Great then let's start." the man states, "And the way to wardrobe we can talk about Kira Ford, who she's going to be, what's she's going to represent. This is going to be great."
Desiree was having a hard time not to open her mouth and give this idiot a piece of her mind about his clothing choices for her best friend. Kira was wearing a black skin tight outfit and her hair was shaped into a awful Mohawk, silver eyeshadow and huge danglingly earrings.
"You love it?" The music manager asks
"You want me to be honest?" Kira asks
"Remember Kira, trust." The manager replies
"Doesn't trust work both ways?" Kira questions
"Not in my world." He answers, "Spin."
Kira did as she was told
"That is prefect." the manager states, "Thanks," he tells an assistant, who just handed him a cd "Your new sound."
"Her/My new sound?" Kira and Desiree both asks
"Remixed by Kylee Styles' producer." he answers, putting the cd in the player, "And he is not easy to get."
As the music played both girls had a disgusted look on their faces.
"Would you mind if I went outside and made a call?" Kira asks
"Yeah sure, just don't be long." the manager replies, "We got work to do."
The girls walked outside,
"Kira, I say just drop this jerk, and do things your way," Desiree states, as Kira tried to call Ethan and Conner.
The three kids ran up,
"Excuse me?" one of them asks "Are you a singer?"
"Yeah, I am." Kira answers,
"What do you sing?" another asks
"I was suppose to be making an album but I don't think I'm going to anymore." Kira replies,
"Why not? I bet you're great."
"I love your clothes."
"You do?" Kira asks
"Yeah."
"Can we have your autograph?" one of them asks
"You want my autograph?" Kira repeats
Desiree smirks as she watches Kira sign autograph books.
Kira was about to inside again but Desiree wasn't going,
"I'm going to stay out here and wait, if I listen that jerk one more time, I'm going to lose my temper." Desiree explains.
~~~Haley's~~~
Angelica was dead on her feet, Trent was cleaning up at closing time,
Haley walked in, "Hey there, are we ready to close?"
"Not yet," Angelica answers
"We got one straggler over there" Trent states pointing at Cassidy who was still on the computer.
Haley walked over, "Cass? Cassidy,"
Cassidy jumped up "What? Can't you see I'm busy."
"Cassidy, We're closed." Haley pointed out,
"Well I guess I didn't notice." Cassidy replies,
Angelica walked over, "What are you working on?"
"Just because I'm using the computer doesn't mean I have to tell you." Cassidy replies,
"Okay, just don't be too long." Haley states,
Cassidy make the loser sign,
Angelica bit her lip telling herself it was against the ninja code to give an icy seat to a person.
Haley, Angelica went back to the lab. Trent was staying behind to lock up.
"Great you're all here." Kira states, as she and Desiree walked in.
"Kira, where have you been?" Ethan asks
"You should check in every once and a while." Conner agrees,
"We tried, you wouldn't answer your phone, and Angelica's sleeping over in the corner." Desiree replies,
"Nevermind, I need your opinion on something and I need you all to be honest." Kira states, "Haley can you play this."
"Sure," Haley replies putting the CD into the disk drive.
The rangers and Haley watched Kira's music video.
"Alright tell me the truth," Kira states,
"Well..." Ethan began
"It's..." Haley states.
"Will someone tell me what they really think?" Kira asks
"I will." Conner states
"Conner!" everyone else shouts,
"No, let him talk," Kira disagrees.
"I just think, it's not you." Conner explains,
"Yeah, it sucks." Desiree agrees.
"I knew it." Kira states. "What was I thinking."
The alarms sounded
"Never thought I'd be glad to hear that sound." Ethan comments
"What is with evil henchmen and flying ships?" Desiree asks
"Zeltrax." Tommy states. "You guys handle it, I'm going to try and help Haley get our new weapon powered up."
"Angelica, time to get up!" Desiree shouted in her sister's ear.
Angelica sprang up on her feet, "Where's the fire?"
"Ready?" Conner asks
"Ready!"
"Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!"
The Rangers formed the Thundersaurus Megazord.
"Hey look out!" Desiree shouts as the megazord was hit by Zeltrax's new zord.
The Megazord was hit with lightning
"Where's he going?" Desiree asks
"Guys, this thing is still in the area, we have to intercept it before it comes into the city," Tommy's voice states from their morphers.
"Tell us something we don't know," Desiree replies,
The Rangers regrouped with Tommy,
"What should we do, Dr. O?" Ethan asks
"You have to fight him the best you can," Tommy answers
"Where's an air ninja when you need him," Angelica states,
"Brachiozord!"
Zeltrax started the Brachiozord which in turn was annoying the other zords inside.
Brachiozord let out an lightning blast, which Zeltrax's zord came apart.
"Woah, check it out!" Conner exclaimed.
The zords started firing at the Rangers.
"He's getting away!" Tommy exclaimed, "Oh no you don't!"
"No matter what color he is, he still has the White Knight complex!" Desiree shouts as Tommy leapt into Zeltrax's zord.
"We got to do something," Ethan states
"Like what?" Conner asks
"It might be time to go Triassic, Conner." Kira replies,
"I think you're right," Conner agrees, summoning the Shield of Triumph,
The other four gave over their gem power to Conner.
Conner transformed into the Triassic Ranger,
Kira, Ethan, Desiree, and Angelica demorphed panting from giving over their powers.
They watched as Conner tried to leap at the zord and was knocked backwards.
"Okay, new plan." Conner states, taking his thundermax "Fire!"
"Woah," Desiree and Angelica gasps as the Shield of Triumph started to glow.
"Haley, did it. Triassic Mega Rover is online." Conner states,
the others watched as Conner fought the zord and destroyed it.
Tommy was on the inside fighting Zeltrax.
Conner came up to the others, "Where's Dr. O?"
"Do you want to tell him?" Kira asks
"He's up there." the twins answers pointing at the flying ship.
The ship started to explode making the Rangers gasp.
"No!" shouted the teens as the ship blew apart.
"No, He can't be gone!" Kira shouted
"It's alright Rangers," Tommy states, limping up
Desiree and Angelica ran to him, giving him support.
"You're okay," Kira states
"What about Zeltrax?" Ethan asks
"Zeltrax is gone." Tommy answers,
~~~that evening~~~
The teens walked together, as Trent walked up with a camera in hand.
"Everything is all set." Trent states, "Cameras are all ready, playback's good."
"All you got to do is sing," Desiree states coming to the point.
"Thank you guys, from now on no more letting someone else tell me who I should be." Kira replies,
"Especially, since who you are is already pretty cool." Conner agrees.
"You forgetting something?" Trent ask as Ethan was looking around.
"I'm suppose to meet my cyber hottie today," Ethan replies, rubbing his hands together.
"What here?" Desiree asks
"Yeah, i figure you can't get much better for a first date department then a music video shoot," Ethan answers
"How are you going to know who she is?" Conner asks
"She's wearing a pink hat and a matching jacket." Ethan answers, "Oh there she is now," he ran off.
The girl wearing the pink hat and jacket turned out to be Cassidy.
"I don't believe it," Trent states,
Desiree choked on laughter,
Trent and Devin were fliming Kira's new music video,
"I'm so getting a copy and sending it to Tanya," Desiree vowed. As she enjoyed being a member of the crowd.
