Desiree was lying in her bed, her mind was racing with thoughts she couldn't put into words. How to explain what she was feeling.
Angel was downstairs helping Tommy and Kira with some inventory.
Desiree tried to collected her thoughts, but the one question that came to mind was who was she really, where did she come from, and why was she given up at birth?
Angel looked at an old photo. "Man, Angel; you were young there?" Kira told her and she noticed her friend on her teacher's back.
Desiree rolled out of bed, and opened her closet, she sighed as she reached for album it wasn't the one that the Ninjas given her it was her and Angelica's baby book, she opened and it had her and Angelica adoption papers, but she didn't know if her parents had their birth certificates. She opened to the first page there was Angelica in a light blue outfit that a baby would wear, they were only days old when this was taken.
Angel took the picture from Kira's hand. "Yeah this was taken right after Tommy's birthday"
Desiree looked at the pictures for long time, still the same question of why didn't her birth parents want them, came back to her mind. Did she have more siblings out there she didn't know about, or was her parents dead without really wanting to find their children.
*You know thinking isn't your strong suit,* Aya teases as she flew in the open window,
"Funny, featherhead." Desiree replies, looking up from the photos, "What's up?"
"Tommy, next time clean this room better" Angel grumbled as a box fell onto her head while reaching for one.
"Well next time, I won't have to move crap after an island explodes around me," Tommy replies, "I'm sorry, that I lived out of this mess for the first few months."
"Aww Dr O, look at this brother/sister bonding" Kira giggled. The photo was of Angel throwing a ball to her brother on the beach.
Desiree winced as she felt Angelica's accident downstairs, she stood up and held out her arm to Aya, and then went downstairs and into the lab, "I thought I said no more boxes falling on your head,"
"Umm who is this?" Kira asked as they showed a picture of a man who was Rocky with Angel over his shoulder.
Desiree looked at the picture with a slight frown on her face, "That's Rocky, he's the second red ranger after Jason left the team,"
"Yeah and i swear he eats like a pig, notice the wiener in his mouth" Angel laughed.
Desiree turned to look at her sister, "And you don't?"
"At least i can stop when i want to Rocky always wanted seconds, i remember vaguely when Tommy was under a spell and couldn't stop heck even Jason can be a pig especially when it comes to gummy bears." Angel defended.
"Well let me buy you a bag of M&Ms and we'll see who's a twin of Pudgy Pig," Tommy states,
"You can't say much, i bet you 10 bucks when you in human form the bag of Ritz crackers will be gone in seconds" Angel spoke poking the shield over his eyes.
Desiree rolled her eyes, good thing she didn't have a favorite sack
"Oh Dr O had hair back in the day" Kira said suddenly as she held her next picture
"it was in style," Desiree replies, as she started in on the pictures, so far all of them were of Angelica,
"I wish he still had some of it his hairline is receding, soon he will need a cane to help him fight" Angel joked.
"Yeah right, after this I'm staying out of the Rangering thing," Tommy replies, "And my hair is not receding."
"Yes it is you can see your entire forehead, soon Zeltrax will run once he starts seeing the gray in your hair" Angel replied. Kira giggled.
"Enough, Angelica Charlotte, remember he has the power to pass or fail you in first period," Desiree warns, "And and he can kick us out of the house if he wants too,"
Angel bowed her head and mumbled "Sorry"
"It's okay," Tommy replies,
Suddenly the monitors beeped and appeared a part tiger, part elephant and part machine on the screen.
Aya's head snapped up *I sense something,*
"Lets go!" Angel was ready to morph but Tommy stopped her.
Desiree looking at Aya, "Aya,"
"Come on bird, we don't have time for this" Angel growled bringing up her wrist making her morpher appear,
"You three go, I'll check out what Aya senses," Desiree states, "And I'll call the others."
"Be Careful Ree" Angel told her sister then the three left.
Desiree went to the computer and began typing. "Guys, we have a problem."
"What is it? Conner's voice asked through his communicator.
"Mesogog is at it again, meet Kira, Angelica, and Tommy in the city square." Desiree replies, as she begins to search for what ever is causing Aya such alarm.
"Thats it!" Angel growled at the monster blew its trunk sending her into a bench for the third time. Angel jumped into the air kicking it back.
*We got to get into the city, Hikari is there,* Aya states, then tilted her head *With a wildcat spirit?*
"Angel look out!" Tommy yelled but it was to late when Zeltrax appeared slashing her back with his sword.
Desiree screamed in pain as she fell from the chair, "That's it!" she struggled to her feet, "No one sneaks up on my twin without me there!" she summoned her morpher, "Dino Thunder, Power Up!"
Angel groaned from the ground but felt Zeltrax pick her up.
Suddenly a giant phoenix made of fire dived at Zeltrax
Angel felt herself being thrown when she fell to the ground she demorphed.
"Hey! Leave my sister alone!" Desiree demands running up to her twin,
Tommy rushed over to his fallen sister. "You Okay?" Angel nodded.
Two figures watched the fight,
"So she is the one with the phoenix spirit?" asks a male in his early fifties,
"Yes, she is." answers the female by his side, "And the one who needs your type of training,"
Desiree summoned her staff, "Let's dance, Zeltrax."
Zeltrax charged. Desiree jumped into the air doing a tornado kick ending him back.
Tommy helped Angel up. "Man that tin can needs to get some manners"
"How's this for some manners, Super Dino Mode!" Desiree replies,
Angel then almost fell to her knees. She felt weak for some reason. "Angel!" what's wrong?" Desiree yelled seeing her sister holding on to their brother trying to stay on her feet. "I don't know.!"
"I can't stand here and see this," growled the male as he ran forward.
"What an idiot." Hikari mutters and sneaked into battle.
Angel then fell to her knees. "Angel? tell me whats wrong?" Tommy asked.
Desiree stood still as she saw her former sensai and someone else battling the creature, Zeltrax had retreated soon as more people shown up.
"Man whats happening to me? Angel said worriedly as her gem began to glow.
Desiree turned around, "Oh snap,"
Kira ran over. "Angel whats wrong with your gem?"
"Has she been using her element lately?" asks Hikari walking up,
"Hikari? what are you doing here?" Angel asked as Tommy supported her.
"Visiting my former student," Hikari answers, putting her hand on the Crimson Ranger's shoulder, "You didn't answer the question,"
Conner and Kira watched on with confusion. Ethan Joined them as they powered down.
Hikari rolled her eyes upward praying for patience, "Didn't Yuriko ever tell you that you must exercise your element even after you finish training?"
"Who is that with you sir?" Ethan asked.
Desiree bit her lip, "Ethan, Sensai Hikari is a woman,"
"No the guy coming up behind her?" Ethan pointed.
Hikari looked over her shoulder, "Someone that I wanted Desiree to meet,"
Desiree turned around. "Man this guy needs a proper haircut" Ree heard her sister mumble.
"I heard that," the man states, "I'm old but I'm not deaf, young falcon."
Angel then let out a sneeze. "Man, you better not be getting sick you're terrible when your sick" Tommy groaned.
"Just get her to some place cold, she's overheating." Hikari snaps.
Tommy looked at his sister who looked ready to pass out and she was turning red. "Angel?" Conner said as she closed her eyes.
Desiree looked at her sister, "Do it, Sensai Hikari is right, she hasn't been taking care of herself properly since we became rangers."
"Has something been bothering her that she is hiding?" Sensai questioned. Desiree had a feeling her sister has but ignored it.
"Answers later, Ice bath now." Desiree snaps,
Tommy picked her up and threw her into the cold lake that was near. Conner yelled her name when she never surfaced.
"Conner, shut up." Desiree states, as she sat down by the lake. "Angelica's core temperature is a lot lower then a normal person's temperature,"
"Um guys look she is glowing" Ethan pointed out.
"Finally her element is getting recharged." Desiree states,
Angel then busted out of the water splashing Tommy and her sister. "Ok i am good." Then she let out another sneeze.
Desiree glared at her sister, with her hands on her hips.
"What?" Angel asks, she sneezes then wiped her nose.
Desiree just walked up forward and grabbed her sister by ear. "You should know by now that you need to take care of yourself, by taking cold showers, having ice chips, or just drinking something cold."
"Ouch!" Angel sneezes again which she landed on her sister. "Sorry" Angel said and she pushed her sister away, jumped on Tommy's back. "Back to the bat cave, i want sleep"
Desiree growled under breathe, "idiot sister not taking care of herself when she knows that her element depends on being cold."
"I heard that" Angel states as she let out another sneeze.
"Thats it, if you're really getting sick i am running into the woods" Tommy muttered. "The last time you were sick me and Jason had our hands full"
"You don't understand at all about ice ninjas or for that matter fire ninjas." Desiree states, "Being sick as a child is completely different then being sick as a ninja with our element."
Tommy turned to look at Desiree, "What are you talking about?"
"If we overheat or freeze in my case, we would die," Desiree replies,
