Tracy in her room. She is wearing my training gear. The other day she found the friendship bracelet Ashley made for her in Kindergarten. She put it on for good luck. She heads outside for the usual morning training session.

"Hey," Antonio greets.

"Hey," Tracy says.

"Tracy I think you should spar with Kevin today," Jayden says

"I don't know Jayden," Kevin says.

"Kevin I know the real reason you don't want to spar with me," Tracy says.

"What's that?" He asks.

"You just don't want to lose to a girl." She answers.

The team exclaims in shock.

"Tracy, you feeling okay this morning?" Antonio asks.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Tracy says,

"Because you are acting like you're a little too confident in yourself." He answers.

"Haven't I always been this confident in my abilities before?" She asks.

"Not at first, Where is this sudden burst of confidence coming from anyway?" he asks.

"I'll explain later. So, Kevin, are we going to spar or what?" She says.

Kevin nods and hands her a sword. They walk to the sparing area and start to spar. Their swords bang together as they block the others attacks. Kevin swings his sword at Tracy's feet and she does a back flip. She launches a counter attack, knock the sword from his hands and swing at his feet. He dodges and picks his sword off the ground. The match goes on for a few more minutes. Before Tracy finally managed to knock him to the ground. She walks over to Kevin and helps him back to his feet.

"Kevin, you ok?" Tracy asks.

"Yeah, I guess you have gotten really good with the sword." he says.

"Was that a compliment?" Tracy asks.

"Yes," He replies.

"Thanks, did I really beat you or did you let me win?" She asks.

"Tracy, I didn't let you win. You beat me fair and square." Kevin answers.

"So, this means I beat Mr. Samurai code." She says with a smile on her face.

"Tracy, you're not going to do some crazy victory dance are you?" Antonio asks.

"Come on Antonio, I would never do something so childish. I'm not a five-year-old." She replies.

Antonio can tell she was thinking about it. Mike tells Tracy that her phone is playing 'True Friend' for the past ten minutes.

"Thanks, Mike, I'll be there in a sec," Tracy says.

Mike tosses the phone towards her. He tosses it a little too hard and it goes over her head. Tracy leaps as high as she can. She catches the phone in her left hand but lands in the bushes. Trac can hear my best friend's voice coming through the speaker on the phone.

"Tracy, what happened?" Ashley asks.

"My new friend Mike mistook my phone for a football. I landed in the bushes while making the save." Tracy answers.

"Is the phone ok?" she asks.

"Yes, and I'm ok too - thanks for asking," I tell her sarcastically.

"Sorry miss sarcasm, any who I was hoping that I could come and visit." She replies.

"That it isn't a very good idea."

"Why not?" she asks.

"Ashley, it's kind of hard to explain."

"Tracy, we promised that we would never keep secrets from each other." She reminds her.

"I know ash tree but..."

"Don't ash tree me, the real reason you won't tell me is that you don't trust me." she snaps.

"Ashley, I do trust you honest."

"Prove it and tell the secret," Ashley begs.

"Ashley, I'm sorry I just can't tell you."

"Well, I guess we are no longer friends," Ashley says.

"Ashley please don't..." Tracy whispers.

A few seconds later the dial tone sounds.

"Hang up," Tracy says completing her statement.

She says a few swear words in Spanish and puts her phone back into her pocket. Then she gets out of the bush, dusts herself off and walks back over to the takes a few pieces of the bush out of her hair

"Tracy, are you ok?" Mike asks.

"Yes I'm fine, and Mike, my phone isn't a football." She snaps.

"Sorry about that. That was a great catch, though." Mike says.

Tracy rolls her eyes at Mike's statement.

"Who called?" Antonio asks.

"Ashley," She answers.

"What did she want?" Kevin asks.

"She wanted to come visit." She answers.

"You told her that she couldn't, right? "You didn't tell her you're a ranger did you?" Kevin asks.

"I haven't told her that I'm a ranger, but I wish that I could." She answers.

"You know you can't do that. You have to keep it a secret from her in order to keep her safe." Jayden reminds her.

"I know that Jayden, but she is my best friend. I hate keeping secrets from her. We promised that we wouldn't keep secrets from each other." She tells him.

Tracy starts to play with the bracelet on her right wrist.

"What kind of bracelet is that anyway? It looks like it was made by a five-year-old." Mike says.

"It's the friendship bracelet Ashley gave to me in Kindergarten, which means it was made by a five-year-old," Tracy says.

"Wow, it's still in one piece after all this time," Mike states.

"Yeah, that's because when she gave it to me it was too big and I kept it in a little box in the bottom of my jewelry box." She tells him.

"It fits like a glove now," Mike says.

"Yeah I guess I have changed a little bit over the years. Now I'm keeping secrets from my best friend. I don't blame her if she hates my guts." She says in a sad tone.

"Tracy, don't you think you're overreacting just a bit?" Antonio asks.

"No, Antonio I'm not overreacting. She yelled at me then hung up the phone. I think that means she hates me." She answers.

"I'm pretty sure she doesn't hate you. She is just upset." Antonio reminds her.

"I know, but I don't like it when she is mad at me." She says.

"No one likes it when someone they care about is mad at them," Antonio says.

He gives her a soft hug. Meanwhile at Ashley's uncles Mateo's house deep in the western woods. Ashley tosses her phone onto the couch. Mateo hears his niece let out a frustrated grunt.

"Everything ok sweetie?" Mateo asks his niece.

"No, my best friend is keeping a secret from me," Ashley answers.

"Well, you can't really be mad at her. She might have a good reason for keeping the secret from you." He reminds her.

"True, but I really wish she would tell me." She says.

"Technically Ashley, you've been keeping a big secret from her as well." He says.

"I know Uncle Mateo, but you made me promise not to tell anyone that you've been training me to be a samurai." She says.

"I know Ash, but I think it's time that you tell your best friend what's going on. I would hate for you two to end your friendship all because of the samurai code of silence." He says.

Ashley goes over to her uncle and gives him a big hug.

"Thanks Uncle Mateo you're the best." She says with a smile.

"You're welcome, now go and talk to your best friend." He tells her.

Ashley release her uncle from her hug. He hands his niece a samuraizer and the Owl folding zord. Then she turns around and heads for the door. Back at the Shiba house the gap sensor goes off. JI tells the rangers that the nighlok is downtown at city hall. Antonio lets Tracy go from his hug.

"Tracy, if you're not up to this it is ok if you stay here." Antonio tells her.

Tracy tells him that she was going. She doesn't want to let everyone down. So the team morphs and runs off to city hall. When the rangers arrive at city hall they see another samurai ranger helping the people to safety.

"Wow., There is a white ranger now?" Mike asks.

"Looks like it Mike. The better question would be is who is the white ranger?" Kevin asks.

"We'll worry about our new ranger later. Right. Now let's deal with the nighlok." Jayden says.

The rangers agree with their leader and charge in towards the nighlok.
