Summary: Aurora is in college, spending only her weekends and vacations in Crystal Springs. After since Andros' reunion with his children, Blaecleah kept quiet, but peace never lasts for long.
Juzblue: Glad you like it.
Necroblade: Nah, Aurora doesn't have any trouble being the leader. She just has her own way of being it. I guess you'll have to keep reviewing, for I won't stop writing just yet.
TrueRomantic: Just read what Aurora's going to do.
The-power-of-love: Yeah, well, it better be summer soon.
Jenny: Two reviews of 2 kB::raises an eyebrow: You still don't know what I'm going to do with the next chapter, so there's still hope that's going to happen. :P The tension between the two parts of the team will be solved individually for every ranger, so it'll take a while. The rangers needed to prove themselves, but now it's the Aurora and Ray's turn. I hope you don't really believe the Zodiac rangers will believe Aurora this happened. I see you couldn't resist the urge to put some blabbing in the review. YAY!
Melissa: I know more lazy people who don't want to log in to review. Me for instance. I always imagine Zhane being great with kids, so I made him a great dad. Yes, Mack and Aurora will have some problems in the future, but I'm not saying they're going to break up because of it. Well, here's the next update.
Ghostwriter: Yeah, I know everyone has fears and I'm using mine right now. Yes, I'll admit it; I'll turn 18 at the end of this months and still I'm afraid of the dentist. I didn't used to be afraid, but then I got an infected tooth and it was killing me, so now I'm scared of him.
Jedi Takeru: Sorry to say this, but Enterprise sucks, Star Gate's much better and Star Wars (still have to go to the movie though) I'll be focusing more on the Zodiac rangers in this fic, the other was more of a introduction.
Phantom Rogue: You, Melissa and Jenny are ganging up on me aren't you? All three of you sent me a review of 4 kB. Go read and see how bad Aurora is. Ciana isn't going to become a ranger, but I do have an idea for her. Oh, and Aurora isn't perfect, you'll see later on…
It Was Just The Beginning
Chapter 4
Megan walked quietly behind Aurora. After a minute Aurora stopped and turned around to face Megan. Panicking, Megan felt the urge to defend herself.
"I'm sorry Aurora. I- I didn't mean for this to happen. I really did want to fight, but… I just couldn't. I don't want to be afraid; it's a stupid fear, really, but…"
Aurora held up her hands to silence the girl.
"I'm not mad, Megan and it's not a stupid fear. I understand. I'll be honest with you; you're not the only one with that fear. I was afraid of the dentist for a while too."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Aurora smiled softly, before holding out her hand. "Come on."
"Where are we going?" Megan asked.
"You'll see… trust me?"
Megan was shocked by the request. Aurora had never asked anyone but Ray to trust her - even though Ray always did blindly. Looking at Aurora's offered hand just a moment longer, she took it.
The moment the two hands met, a teleportation light surrounded them. When it cleared, Megan looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"Where are we?"
"Crystal Springs," Aurora replied as she walked over to a white building.
Megan followed her, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the sign next to the door Aurora was now holding open for her.
'J. O'Connell, dentist.'
Aurora must have noticed something was wrong, a small smile playing on her lips.
"Trust me." She said again and reluctantly Megan followed her.
The dentist's secretary looked up and smiled.
"Go on in." She said. "He's waiting for you."
"Thanks." Aurora replied and took Megan's shoulders, gently guiding her into the dentist's room.
"Hey Aurora." The dentist greeted.
"Hey Jack, thanks again for squeezing me in."
"It's no problem, so this is the girl you were telling me about?"
"Yeah, Megan, this is Jack O'Connell, Jack, Megan Johnson." Aurora introduced. "Jack has been so kind as to reschedule my check-up appointment of next week to today."
Jack smiled.
"Why don't you go brush your teeth while I'll take care of Megan?"
"Sure." Aurora replied and walked over to a sink where a bunch of band new toothbrushes lay.
She picked up a red with yellow one, applied the toothpaste and started to brush her teeth, watching Megan and Jack.
Jack had sat down on his chair and was showing Megan all instruments he used, explaining what they were for, being very kind and patient with Megan. She remembered when her parents had taken her here. She had been kicking and screaming and generally creating a lot of havoc just so she just didn't have to go the dentist. Jack had helped her over her fear and she hoped he would now do the same for Megan.
After brushing her teeth, she walked over to Jack and Megan and took place in the dentist's chair. Whiled checking for any holes, Jack was still explaining what he was doing to Megan who was looking over his shoulder into Aurora's mouth.
When she was able to talk again, a devilish grin spread on Aurora's face.
"So what's the diagnose, doc. Are my teeth going to die soon?"
Jack laughed and shook his head.
"No, you've been a good girl. There are no holes in there. Except the really big one that should be there."
Megan giggled as Aurora got out of the chair. They were just about to leave when Jack held them back. He picked up a lavender/blue toothbrush and tossed it to Megan together it with a lollypop for both of the girls.
"Thanks Jack, see you in half a year." Aurora greeted.
"By Jack, thanks for everything."
When they were standing back outside, Megan turned to Aurora.
"You know, now I can't even remember why I was so afraid of the dentist!" She giggled slightly before adding with a bright smile, "Thanks Aurora."
"No problem, kiddo." Aurora replied and held out her hand again. "Friends?"
Megan nodded violently, placing her hand in Aurora's again as the teleported back.
A/N: You didn't really think Aurora would be mad at Megan, did you? She's smarter than that. Hope you liked the chapter. Review. Oh and please note: It's a waste of time to learn your mobile phone how to swim. It's going to drown no matter what.
