-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Gwen climbed down the stairs at her aunt and uncle's home. She reached the downstairs and found her Aunt Bella, the women was reading the newspaper while drinking a hot cup of coffee. As Gwen slowly past the living room to the kitchen, she finds her Uncle Pete. Her uncle was cooking at the oven, he was cooking pancakes. Whereas at the kitchen table was her twins, Landon and Lance. Her brothers noticed their sister standing there.
"Look," Lance started as he perked up from his novel, "She has awoken."
Gwen stuck her tongue out at Lance, "Eat it."
Gwen walked past her brothers and toward the toaster. It was at that second when the toaster popped out two pieces of toast. The girl grabbed the warm bread and walked over to the fridge, one toast in her mouth and the other in her right hand. As Gwen opened the fridge and grabbed the butter and closed it with her butt, she noticed the three men were staring at her. Gwen put the butter down and grabbed a knife.
"What?" Gwen spoke.
Landon smirks, "In a hurry, kid?"
Gwen turns to her brother, "I have a life." She said.
Landon crosses his arms on his chest, "I get that. But squirt, you've been coming home late recently." He said.
After Gwen put the butter back in the fridge and took a bite of her toast she says, "Yeah. I've been hanging with my friends." She said.
Landon sighs, "Has it been reflecting on your grades? Gwen, we can't allow your grades to suffer. I understand the situation hasn't been easy for anyone but you need to focus on your school work and this family." Landon said.
Gwen took another bite and rolled her eyes, "And this is why you're the annoying brother." She said.
Lance smirks, "Ha!"
Landon turns to his brother than to his sister, "I'm serious, Gwen. I think its time you get serious about your future. Mom and dad would want you to." He said.
Gwen frowns, "Mom and dad aren't here anymore." She said.
The room was silent for a moment.
"Gwen," Uncle Pete finally joined in, "I think you should listen to your brother."
Gwen slugs her backpack on her shoulder, "I gotta go. Some of us has places to be." She said and left the house.
-JURASSICSQUAD-
Gwen was standing by her locker during the time between third and fourth period. She stared at the photo she had hanging up from Stone Canyon. She sighed as she looked at the photo and then slammed the locker loudly, this caused some people to stare at her. Gwen grabbed her backpack from the floor and slugged it on her shoulders. Though, she didn't notice Artie coming over with a concerned look on his face.
"Gwen," Artie placed a hand on her shoulder, "You alright?"
Gwen forced a smile, "I am always fine, Sparky." She grins.
Artie wasn't fooled by that, "Something is wrong. Come on, tell me." He said.
Gwen groans, "I just want to pretend everything is fine and go on with my day."
Artie stopped the girl from walking off, "Come on. Please tell me." He said.
Gwen turns to stare at him, "You are so much like your brother."
Artie smirks, "I'll take that as a good thing." He said.
The bell rang. The two exchanged looks.
"I have French, so we can talk afterwards." She said.
"I have study hall next period." He said.
Gwen nods, "And I am a library aid then. So we can talk then." She said.
Artie smiles, "It's a date."
He then blushed realizing what he said and Gwen made a face.
"I mean- not a date, but- uh you know what I mean." Artie flushed pink.
Gwen laughs, "It's a date, Arthur." She smiles.
Artie watched Gwen walk off in the direction of her French class. Artie couldn't help but feel his heart beat skip a beat at that moment, he had a crush on Gwen before. He had feelings for her and knew he liked her for quite some time but never knew how to address it or if she liked her brother like the way Artie likes Gwen. Artie stood there for a moment until realizing he needed to get to his next class.
-JURASSICSQUAD-
Artie goes walking through the rows of book shelves in the library. He was determine to figure out what was going on with Gwen. Upon walking down a few more rows, he spotted the library aid. Gwen was putting some books on the shelf from a cart of return books. Artie walks over with a smile on his face, he leans up against the shelf with a welcoming grin. She placed the book on the shelf and saw his smile, which made her smile.
"Took you long enough, Sparky." She joked.
Artie chuckles faintly, "Well I'm not much of a reader like my brother."
Gwen pushed the cart forward, "Obviously. This must be your first time in a library." She said.
Artie moved quickly and stopped in front of a cart, "No. But my first time talking to you about something personal." He said.
Gwen's smile faded quickly, "Right. You remember."
Artie nods, "Please."
Gwen sighs, "Fine."
Gwen placed another book on the shelf. She went to grab the one next to the one she just put on the shelf, but was surprised when Artie did it for her.
"It's my brothers, well actually just Landon." Gwen said.
Artie seemed a bit shocked for her to be talking about her family, "What about him?"
Gwen huffed a smirk, "He is up my butt about me being serious. I have to make honor roll, I have to be at home early, I have to protected." Gwen said.
Artie placed his hand on the cart, "Why?"
Gwen stared at the red novel she had just placed on the shelf, "Since the accident my parents were in back at Stone Canyon, my brothers were all I had you know. So, Landon became more mature even though both him and Lance are the same age. He went out and got a hold of Uncle Pete and Aunt Bella. He transferred from Stone Canyon Tech and Lance just got another job, so we could start over here. I was a different person in Stone Canyon." She said.
Artie frowns, "But you're here now. You're surrounded by friends." He said.
Gwen turns to him, "Friends? Artie, you guys barely know anything about me. All you know is that I live with my twin brothers at my aunt and uncle's. You don't know my parents died in a car accident a couple of months ago. You didn't know I was attacked at school by bullies and it landed me in the hospital. You didn't know I was a shy and scared girl. You barely know me." She said.
Artie looks at her, "And that's our fault but Gwen- you don't have to have this shield up to protect yourself from getting hurt. It won't help you connect with us." He said.
Gwen looks down for a moment and then felt Artie grab her chin and lift her head up. Now the girl stared into his eyes as he did the same.
"Artie," She spoke.
Artie smiles, "Look. I lived with my mom and my step-dad. I didn't know he was my step-dad until about nearly a year ago, which led me to act up and get into some criminal troubles. The charges were dropped because I spray painted my step-dad's business out of rage. It ended up leaving my mom to give me up to my real dad, he has been a better parent than I ever had. The truth is, my mom could afford to care for me but she just told my dad that. She didn't want me anymore, she just saw me as trouble. So Gwen, I get it. Life hadn't given you any luck, but maybe I can help you out." He said.
Gwen didn't realize she was blushing, "What? You're going to be my rabbit's foot or something?"
Artie smiles, "Maybe."
-JURASSICSQUAD-
Landon was pacing in the kitchen at his uncle's home. Lance was just glancing from his comic to his twin, Landon, who wouldn't stop pacing. Entering in was Aunt Bella, she was getting some lemonade from the fridge when she noticed the tension between the twins. She stopped as she held the glass in her hands in utter confusion.
"Boys?" She started, "Is everything alright?"
Lance shakes his head, "Landon pissed Gwen off."
Landon snaps, "Lance! She needs to grow up!" Landon shouts.
Lance stood up, "Oh that's fair for the girl. She's been through hell. She doesn't deserve this crap and you know it." Lance said.
Aunt Bella stepped in, "Whoa."
Landon turns to his twin, "You've been babying her. Keeping her from responsibility."
Lance laughs, "Landon, she has grown up. She isn't that scared little girl anymore. Who cares if she's out late, we were back in Stone Canyon. She's made friends. Let her be a teenager." Lance said.
Landon sighs, "I just- I just want her to take things seriously." He said.
Lance exhaled as well, "She is but- Gwen has been through a lot. She may not be ready to talk about this." Lance said.
Aunt Bella cleared her throat, "Now boys, I understand your concern. It's nice to know that you both worry about your sister, but I think she is doing well. She has come home from school and her karate classes so happy. She has been telling me about this boy she has had her eyes on for a while now, and these friends she has made. Gwen hasn't come home crying or hurt in months. She has adjusted and is happier here." She said.
Aunt Bella then left the kitchen with her glass of lemonade in her hands. Lance grabbed his comic and glanced at his brother before leaving as well.
-JURASSICSQUAD-
As the day ended. The rangers were heading in the direction of the dojo where the Batcave sat underneath, however the plans quickly changed when there was a shake. The rangers turned around to see a peacock, which is blue and green, standing in front of them. The peacock launched its own feathers which once they landed it caused an explosion, the rangers ducked and rolled. Jenny was grabbed by Hunter, Omar and Jared ducked and rolled, KZ rolled by the couple, and Artie grabbed Gwen and rolled. The citizens were running in panic. As the rangers stood up, they pulled out their morpher. One by one the teens morphed into their suits, and were holding their individual weapons in their hands.
"I am assuming you are a sin," Spoke Jared.
The peacock smirks, "You are correct, child. My name is Pride."
Hunter snickers, "Pride, huh?"
Pride nods, "Yes and even though my fellow sins have failed, I will be the one to destroy you all."
Jenny holds her blaster, "Try it."
Pride smirks, "Oh I like a challenge." Pride spoke.
All of a sudden, Pride moved like lightning. He dove at the rangers, though Jared slashed his blade at the peacock. Though Pride was armed with his own blade as well. Pride slashed at Omar and Jared, sparks came off their individual suits. Omar and Jared rolled back on the ground, while others ran in. Hunter and Gwen slashed their blades at the peacock, though Pride was quicker. Gwen rolled back and Hunter did the same. Artie and KZ ran in, while Jenny was firing her blaster at the bird. Though, Pride appeared behind Jenny and threw her into KZ and Artie. The rangers laid there for a second, until they began to stumble to stand.
"Wha- What the?" A citizen spoke.
Gwen looks up and sees none other than Landon standing in the rumble. Pride turns from the rangers to Landon. Gwen stands up as she noticed Pride point his sword at her brother, Gwen sprinted over quicker than she realized and tackled Pride to the ground.
"Get out of here!" Gwen shouted at Landon.
Landon stood in awe, but he followed the instructions as the White Ranger commanded. Once Gwen knew Landon was safe, she released the peacock. Pride kicked Gwen's helmet after she let go. Gwen rolled back on the ground, grunting as soon as she rolled on the ground. This angrier the group. So one by one, Gwen watched her team get up and protect her. KZ went in, but Pride took her down. Jenny fired her blaster, but Pride tackled her down. Omar went to stab the bird, but Pride was quicker. Hunter and Jared went to slash, but Pride knocked both boys down. Artie went to slash as well, but Pride knocked Artie down and he was stepping on Artie.
"Artie-!" Jared yells.
"Get off of him!" Jenny yells.
Pride chuckles, "Worthless."
Gwen grabs her saber tooth tiget blade and stands up, "Get off of him before I kick your ass!"
There was silence. Pride turns his attention to the White Ranger, Gwen holds her saber in her right hand and kept her eye contact on Pride. Pride grins as he puts more pressure on Artie, which led Artie to scream out in pain.
"Stop it!" KZ yells.
"You're hurting him!" Omar yells.
Hunter turns to Gwen, "If you're going to do something, do it!"
Gwen took in a deep breathe and suddenly a moment that felt like it was in slow motion for Gwen, it was in a faster motion for the others. Gwen charged in, and her fist met Pride's jaw. Pride was launched in the air and collapsed onto the ground, because of this Artie was free. He laid there for a second before starting to sit up, Gwen lowered a hand while keeping her attention at Pride.
"You good?" Gwen asks.
Artie coughed, "Ye- Yeah."
Gwen nods, "Good."
"What are you going to do?" Artie asks.
Gwen watched Pride stand, "Make him pay for hurting you and the others."
Pride came in quickly, Gwen shoves Artie out of the way but had enough time to block Pride's blade with her own. Pride was pushing heavily on his blade, though Gwen shoved back. Pride's blade went in the air and landed behind him in the ground. Gwen slashed at the peacock, who shouted in pain. Pride launched his explosive feathers at her, though Gwen rolled and did a cartwheel to avoid the blasts. Gwen landed away from the blasts and stared at the peacock.
Artie limping slightly, "Go get him." He whispers.
Gwen stands up fully and then at the same time as Pride, the two charged together. Gwen screaming and Pride yelling as their blades made contact. There was an explosion. Flames began to dim down, and in front of the rangers Pride was gone by Gwen was laying on the ground. Still in her suit until it faded away, and revealed herself. Artie ran over screaming her name, with the others right behind him.
"Gwen-!" Artie yells.
Artie was the first one at the scene. He knelt down and lifted her head up, she groans as she starts to open her eyes and formed a smile on her face.
"Hey, Sparky." She smiles.
Artie smiles as he sighs in relief, "You did it."
Gwen smiles, "Good."
Then she passes out again. Jared knelt down to help his brother carry Gwen, though Artie demanded he was the one to carry her. As Artie led the way to the Batcave, the others were right behind them for their fellow teammate.
-JURASSICSQUAD-
Gwen woke up. She felt the pain. She groans as she sits up. Revealing in her room was the others, they smiled seeing she was alright.
"Thank goodness," Adam said, "We were worried."
Zara smirks, "Well I wasn't. You're a tough cookie."
Gwen smiles.
Jenny nods, "You defeated Pride."
"And it was awesome!" Omar yells.
Gwen turns to them, "Really?"
Hunter nods, "An explosion and everything."
KZ nods as well, "You changed over from the usual Gwen to a total badass. How was that?"
Gwen shrugs, "I just- I didn't want to be that scared girl I use to be." Gwen said.
Jared frowns, "Gwen?"
Gwen turns to him, "Sorry, buddy. But I've been keeping that part of me a secret."
Artie holds Gwen's hand, "They are your friends. They should know." He said.
Gwen nods, "The reason why I moved to Stone Canyon was my parents died in a car accident. The person behind the accident was involved in a police chase, he was caught dealing drugs to minors. Anyways, afterwards my brothers realized that Stone Canyon wasn't safe for us- mostly me. After the accident, I was attacked in school. It didn't help that I was a shy girl who didn't have many friends, I was an easy target. So one day, a group of girls attacked me and no one stopped it until I passed out. I ended up in the hospital and it was at that moment my brother, Landon, demanded we move here to Clover Hill. We moved in with my aunt and uncle, my brother transferred college while the other just got a new job. When I realized I was coming to a new school, I thought I should be a different person since no one knew me. So sorry if I came across as a jerk or if I made any of you have a bad life." Gwen said.
Artie was still holding her hand, "Guys?"
Jared stepped in, "Gwen, you're apart of our team. We aren't perfect. I have a mentally disable mother and I use to get into violent fights all the time. I shut the world out and kept to myself and my books." Jared said.
Jenny nods, "I was a scared girl with a stuttering problem." She said.
"I was the independent girl who didn't know how do understand what a team was." KZ said.
"I was the guy who has a drunk as a father and completely abandon him and his family." Hunter said.
Omar nods, "I am the guy who makes a joke of himself or just ends up as the third wheel, well not now cause I'm dating Violet now." Omar said.
Artie turns to Gwen, "And you know my story." He said.
Gwen nods.
Jared smiles at her, "So we're flawed. It makes us better." Jared said.
Gwen eyes Artie, "That it does."
Adam and Zara left the room to give the rangers some time to themselves. Hunter and Jenny held hands, exchanging looks of smiles. Omar crossed his arms on his chest with a grin. Jared had a soft smile on his face. KZ smiled as well. Artie though had his hand still in hold with Gwen's hand, but did have a smile on his face. Gwen turns from the other and back to Artie, who has been by her side all day. Through all the craziness that had been going on all day.
"Artie," Gwen said.
Artie turns to her, "Yeah?"
Suddenly, Artie felt Gwen grab his face and pull it to her lips. The two shared a kiss in front of the team. Omar gasped in shock, he had no idea the two had feelings for each other. Jared smiled, knowing that Gwen had been telling him about her crush on Artie. KZ smiles as well, knowing for a couple of days that Gwen admitted her feelings of just a friendship with Jared. Jenny and Hunter shared a smile before the couple did share a small kiss. When Gwen and Artie parted, Artie was the one blushing uncontrollably.
"Uh-" Artie stuttered.
Jared smirks, "I think you broke him."
Gwen giggles, "I guess I did."
Omar points from Jared to Artie, "I thought- I thought you loved Jared?"
Gwen shakes her head, "Jared is fun to mess with, but Sparky has been the guy I've been thinking about since he saved my life." Gwen said.
Artie shook his head to get himself together, "Wait? You've been thinking about me since that day?"
Gwen nods, "Yes you goof." She said.
KZ smiles.
"I've had a crush on you for a while now." Gwen said.
Artie feels Gwen hold his hand, "Me too." He said.
Jared clasped his hand on Artie's shoulder, "Well I suggest since you have feelings for each other maybe you should date." Jared said.
Artie turns, "I get it, bro." He said.
Gwen giggles, "Wanna try this whole dating thing?"
Artie nods and kisses her another time, "I hoping you'd ask." He said.
(A/N: One more sin to go! I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I really like the chemistry between Gwen and Artie. Also, I had realized that the rangers knew basically nothing about her so having her get mad at Artie and then at the end with her explaining her story felt like it was needed for a long time but it worked perfectly here. Gwen and Artie are now official, which means the only single rangers are Jared and KZ. Will the former couple get back together? You'll have to wait and see. -ICrzy)
