Chapter Two: Saturday
Down on earth it was a beautiful day in Angel Grove City. At the teen hangout teenagers ("At a teen hang out imagen that") were talking with friends and having fun. Out of this group six of us would be chosen to face Rita Repulsa and her evil minions on our six shoulders the fate of the world came to rest. Now I was sitting at a table munching on a hamburger and observing my friends as they enjoyed their day.
"It a superb Saturday and a big hello goes to Erie and the kids at the Gym and Juice Bar keep those fruit shakes flowing Erie" a radio announcer practically shouted and turned on some of the hottest tunes. I listen to some of these tunes the other day and wondered what we were thinking. I have changed in the years that followed that fateful day. Then again no one could be left unchanged from the events that had taken place.
"That's an understatement." Eric muttered
"Thank you for that stunning statement captain obvious. Do me a favor and stop interrupting me it wasn't like you were there." Chris snapped.
"Sorry" Eric said though he didn't sound like it.
"Shut up Eric I want to here this" Wesley Collins said.
"GRRR" was Eric's reply.
"That was awesome Kimberly." I heard come from an Asian girl as her best friend Kimberly landed on her feet after practicing her balance beam routine.
"Thanks Trini." Kim replied. Neither realized I was watching them I did it all the time, observe them and wonder why they were my friends. We were like sisters the three of us. Kimberly was a nice girl who liked to shop and do gymnastics then again she still does. Trini was a quite girl kind to most people, more than I was, and she was almost never sarcastic. I'm not sure if she has a sarcastic bone in her body. Not too far from Kim and Trini were two of our friends Jason, my twin brother, and Zachary, another of my best friends, they were practicing karate. Zack tried for a kick but Jason caught his foot and flipped him backwards. Zack managed to land on his feet in a ready for more action position, a hard skill to master.
"Nice recovery Zack." Jason said completing his friend giving him slap on the hand.
"Thanks Jase for teaching me." Zack said admiringly. That was true Jason had spent hours teaching Zack how to land from a flip like that.
"No problem" Jason said, as if teaching someone was a problem for my brother. He's always loved to teach his dream involved a Dojo some day at the time so did mine.
Jason was and is a brave and strong individual that says what he feels at any time. Zack was and still is so much in love with music and dancing not to mention having fun that he lights up a room just by walking into.
"BLING!"
"Har har Zack" Chris murmured.
"Hey you know you love me" was his response, "Besides I know you will deny ever saying such a thing later so I just have to soak it up." Chris rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Now please continue." Kendrix asked.
"Hey fellas" our friend Billy said as he walked into the Youth Center dress in a karate gi.
"Yo Billy what's up?" Zack asked studying him with a degree of suspicion.
"Well I believe I'm mentally and physically prepared for my first karate class." Billy said very proudly this was something that had taken years to achieve. Billy had been so reluctant to join us in the study of karate. I was sitting at a nearby table as I said munching on a burger and nursing my smoothie. Billy after talking to Jason and Zack walked up to join me so we could talk before his first class. I started the conversation with my latest dream it was so odd. There was also an unfinished game of chess to continue one of our favorite games in the world.
"…then a shadow falls on the earth and I look at my reflection and it's a velociraptor instead of me then some weird a metamorphose takes place but I didn't get it because I woke up." I said as I munched on my burger and moved my rook. If I had an upsetting dream it usually meant something though Billy refused to believe it at first but too much evidence had backed it up.
"So these dreams are common?" Ryan Mitchell asked.
"Yes all my life as I've said, just like the one I had a few days ago." Chris responded.
"It's scary when she gets a waking vision." Zhane said, "So any way you were saying."
"Check mate." I said before he responded.
"It sound like something big is about to happen." Billy said after listening to her dream. He looked exasperated over the loss, I had beaten his new strategy. Billy was a shy, intelligent, and a striate A' student he was not much of a fighter. Me, I was a girl who was very strong, intelligent, a joker and quote (Chris made quote marks with her hands) abnormal in a lot of ways un-quote.
After Kim had gone threw her balance beam routine a second time two kids screaming trouble going by the names Bulk and Skull sauntered over to her and Trini. Bulk was a great big guy who picked on his buddy Skull. Skull was very skinny, his loyal side kick and wore an ear ring when it wasn't popular to do so. They were the kind of kids who are used to getting D's in school. They weren't the brightest crayons in the box but they still liked to color.
"Oh-no look who's here." Trini said with annoyance in her voice. There wasn't much emotion to her voice very often not like that.
"I'm not unemotional" Trini stated defensively.
"Never said you were, but you don't often show emotions" Chris responded.
"You know she has a point" Billy commented who had been silent until them.
"So back to Bulk and Skull" Tj said.
"Right"
"Bulk and Skull." Kimberly said with disgust she didn't like them much.
"Hi girls how about that double date we talked about?" Bulk asked.
"Yeah what about it?" Skull said confused by what Bulk was talking about.
"Sorry guys" Trini said. Skull started to walk away but Bulk graded him.
"What's the matter were not good enough for you" Bulk said getting in their faces.
"Leave us alone Bulk" Trini said with the silent authority she had.
"Oh yea make me" Bulk said.
"Yea make me!" Skull repeated then realizing that he really didn't want to get in the middle of this he pointed at Bulk, "Make him, make him."
"I believe the girls said no." Zack said coming to Kim's and Trini's aid from behind the duo.
"Oh what do you know the dancer wants to be a fighter." Bulk joked but only Skull laughed at the comment.
"Its ok Zack we can handle these two." Kimberly said leveling a gaze at the duo.
"Oh yea" Bulk said leaning in close to the small girl, "Come on Skull lets show them some karate moves."
Bulk and Skull ran towards Kimberly and Trini. Kimberly took Skull's arm and Trini took Bulk's arm and flipped them over their shoulders at which every one laugh.
"You guys defiantly should join Jason's karate class." Kimberly said. Kimberly, Trini, and Zack laughed as they moved to join me.
Tbc.... SO What do you think?
