Takes Place Between Dark Wish Part One and Part Two

Chip groaned softly as he tried to get comfortable in his chair. His head pressed against his desk. How much more time did he have to stay up? But he promised to stay up for Rose. She wanted so badly to tell him what happened during her dance thing. He wasn't about to disappoint her. He was going to stay up even if he has to punch himself or cast a spell. He glanced over at the clock. Urgh…only 10:00 o'clock. Wonderful.

He sighed.

He was so sore. He couldn't even surf on the internet without winced in pain. Stupid healing potion for not working.

Sometimes, being a ranger sucks….badly.

Two monster attacks today….one hit him good. Xander had to help him back to Rootcore. They made him rest and watch.

He hated getting left behind.

It ranked up there with watching his friends get hurt and soap operas.

He didn't sit around for long before he went back to help the others.

He was feeling it now.

He looked longingly at the bed then closed his eyes. Maybe, naming superheroes in ABC order will force him to stay up.

A is for Atom

B is for Batman….

A loud chime snapped him awake. He bolted up and looked at his computer. He rubbed his eyes and winced slightly. A bolt of pain ran up his arm. He rubbed his arm and glanced at the clock.

Evil device of doom read 10:10.

He sighed as he looked at the computer. He smiled a little as he saw his AIM flashing.

FreestyleDustin: Hello, dude.

SuperChip: Hey, Dustin.

FreestyleDustin: How are you?

SuperChip: Very…very tired. Toby has been running us like dogs because of the store's first anniversary.

FreestyleDustin: Dude…that sounded like Kelly. She made us run around town giving out flyers. And demos for people to watch…but that was fun.

SuperChip: I wished to say ours was fun. Flyers…making cakes and cookies…and Toby's speeches.

FreestyleDustin: LOL…Poor Chip.

SuperChip: Thanks for understanding my pain.

He smiled at his friend. Leave it to Dustin to cheer him up. He set his head back down on his desk. He closed his eyes for a moment. Another loud chime woke him up. He sat up and stared at the screen.

FreestyleDustin: ::pokes.: Someone still there?

SuperChip: I'm here…sorry about that….I sort went to sleep.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, go to bed.

SuperChip: Nah…I can't. I promise Rose that I would stay until she got home.

FreestyleDustin: Where did she go?

SuperChip: A dance thing. She wanted to tell me all about it since I couldn't be there.

A pang of guilt coursed through him. It like he couldn't make Justin's baseball game….or Marie's art show at school. He missed so much with school, knight duties, work, and being a power ranger. His mom has been asking a lot of questions. His uncle has been giving him a lot of stares when he limped or rubbed his arm. His aunt has been forcing pain killers. It should be noted that painkillers and healing potions don't mix.

He hated the lying. It sooo goes against the superhero's code.

FreestyleDustin: Dude, I am sure she understood.

SuperChip: I know. Sometimes, it's kind of hard.

FreestyleDustin: It always works out in the end. Trust me, dude. Look at the bright side, dude. At least, you aren't a power ranger. They have much worse than a lot of people thought.

His mouth dropped for a moment then he frowned for a moment. Something about Dustin's comment…He couldn't figure it out.

SuperChip: Technically….say we are power rangers. How would it be?

FreestyleDustin: Dude…bruises…a lot of lies...and a lot of running. You get to save the world. Your team becomes your best friends for life. It balances out, dude.

A giant warning bell rang in his head. He frowned as he stared at the computer screen. What was he missing? It is right in front of him. He can sense it. How would….Wait…Could Dustin be….? He blinked at the screen. He was too tired to really think about this. Definitely it was a storage it away for later type thought. He put away that thought when he wasn't about to hit his head on the desk from exhaustion.

SuperChip: I hope so.

FreestyleDustin: Maybe, you should stop working at Toby's. You seemed tired a lot lately.

SuperChip: NO! My friends are there. It's nice not needing to work on the farm all of the time. Money to buy my own comic books.

Not only that…but it was easier to get to Rootcore or any monster attacks in the city. So quiting was a big no no.

FreestyleDustin: LOL. Just worried, dude.

SuperChip: I will be fine. Just tired. Once I get some sleep, I will be good as new.

FreestyleDustin: Good to hear, dude.

He heard the horn go off and shouts down below. Finally…they were home. Hopefully, he can keep his eyes open enough to hear Rose's stories. He really didn't want to fall asleep on his cousin.

SuperChip: I have to go. Rose is home. Talk to you tomorrow!

FreestyleDustin: Night! Talk to you tomorrow, dude.

Quickly, he signed off and sighed.

Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough.
