A/N: Vida 'V' Rocca, I didn't watch much of Power Rangers: Mystic Force, so I'll see how this goes.
Chapter 11- Vida's Vices
Xxxxx
Palm's Hotel & Casino
Vida and Katie had just arrived back to their casino. The other women were still clubbing, so Vida and Katie were ready to leave. However, they weren't alone. Rico and Bishop each had a hotel room there. The two men were up and coming rappers and they were out in Vegas trying to promote their music.
Katie decided to head up to Rico's room. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know what they wanted to do. Hey, when you're in the mood, you're in the mood.
Katie looked at V. "Are you going to be alright?" She asked her friend.
"Of course." Vida smiled. She watched as Katie and Rico walked away. "Hey, don't break the bed." She joked.
The Yellow Time Force ranger laughed. "I haven't done that in a year."
"Is she really serious?" Rico questioned. Katie nodded. "Oh hell no, I ain't trying to pay the bill on that one." He was worried about her really breaking the bed while they had sex.
"I'm not that bad." She said, and she grabbed his hand and walked him to the elevators.
Rico looked at her. "Damn ma, you really strong." Katie giggled, and they walked in.
Bishop kissed Vida on her head. "What about you, Shorty?" He wanted to know what she wanted to do. "We can gamble a bit, we can eat… I can eat you."
The former Pink Mystic ranger laughed. "We can eat." She wanted to take things a bit slower than Ms. Katie.
He grabbed her hand, and they walked to the 24 hour café. Once they were seated, they looked at the menu.
"Tell me more about yourself." Bishop politely said to her.
"I'm from Briarwood." V started. He nodded. "I've lived there most of my life."
"Where were you born?"
"Mexico City, Mexico. After I was born, my parents moved us to the States. I'm the middle child." She told him. "What about you?"
The waiter came, and they placed their orders.
Bishop took a sip of his coffee. "I'm the youngest of four children. I was born in Oakland, California. My Dad moved me, my moms, and brothers out to Riverside. He passed away after that."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Vida was quick to apologize after hearing that.
He laughed it off. "Hey, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go." Vida had seen things in her life, so she didn't quite agree with him. "I wanted to be a basketball player, you know?"
"Yeah, I do. You are pretty tall. How tall are you?"
"6'4." He stated with pride. V liked his confidence. "Things never worked out, so I became a rapper with Rico. We do shows here and there, and we came to Vegas because our manager, Stunna, had some shows lined up out here. We've done some photo shoots and talked to other artists about doing some collab work."
"If you ever need a DJ, I'm your girl." She eagerly offered.
"I might have to take you up on that." He gave her a big smile.
V felt like putty after she got that smile. "You have a really nice smile."
"Thanks, ma, you got a nice one yourself."
Their food came, and they began to talk some more. Once they were done, they headed up to his room.
V took her high heels off. "Woo, I never thought I would get out of those things." He laughed at her. "Hey, you be a girl for a day, and see how it feels to get all dolled up."
"Na, ma, that's all on you females. Besides, I doubt they make size 15 high heels." He kidded with her.
She went to lie on the bed, and he followed her. They began to cuddle. Bishop was courteous, and even though he had offered to 'eat her out', he didn't try to take off her pants or anything. V, on the other hand, she felt frisky. She began to massage him down there.
"Mm." He began to purr. "That feels good, Ma."
V nodded. "What about right here?" She went to his balls. His eyes rolled to the back of his head.
Then Vida froze. What would Xander think about this?
"V?" Bishop got worried.
She snapped out of her reverie. "I'm sorry." She apologized. "I'm sorry."
"We don't have to do that, if you don't want to." He painfully said. He was aroused, and he needed to cum.
The former Pink ranger heard the discomfort in his voice. She climbed on top of him. "No, I want to." They began to kiss. In that one kiss, her heart reminded her of Briarwood, more specifically, who was in Briarwood.
(Flashback)
As I had said before, I am the middle child. Alfredo, nicknamed, Freddy, is 4 years older than me. After I was born, we moved to Reefside. We lived there for about a year, then Madison was born. That's when we moved to Briarwood.
We are fluent in Spanish and English. My parents stressed the importance of being bilingual. Another thing about our parents, they were always involved in something to do with entertainment. My Dad was a coach for a Lucha Libre team, Dos Diablos, and my Mom was involved in acting.
Freddy had a passion for making people laugh. He is a famous comedian, and he often pokes fun at his culture, his life and home life. As soon as Maddie was old enough, she became acquainted with a video camera. I stuck to music. The first time I ever saw a turntable was when I was 8. I was in awe of it, and I needed to get it.
At that age, I have to admit I became a troublemaker. I wasn't an extremely bad one. Like I had to be taken to Juvenile Hall, no, I was a troublemaker to the point, I got suspended for kicking a student in the balls. Hey, he deserved it!
Maddie and I were at the playground. When we were that age, my Mom would always dress me and my sister the same. We were in black shirts, blue skirts, white socks with the little lace around them, and white mary-jane shoes. Our hair was in pigtails.
A little snot nosed bully named Edgar came up to us. "Why do you guys always dress the same?" He jeered.
"It's because our Mom tells us what to wear." Maddie answered.
"Boo hoo, your Mommy tells you what to wear." He taunted.
"Let me guess, you dress yourself?" I noted his outfit. Purple, blue, and red striped shirt and yellow pants with silver shoes, yeah that is an outfit to die for. Hint of sarcasm present in my voice.
Edgar held his head high. "Yup!" He looked at us. "I don't need my Mommy to tell me what to do."
"I'm 8 and Maddie's 7. We still listen to our parents." I informed him. I didn't know at that age I was supposed to stop.
Charlie 'Chip' Thorn made his way over. Maddie, Chip and I became close a year earlier. "What's going on?"
"None of your beeswax!" Edgar yelled at him. Chip was a little taken aback by his comment. "You're just a Ginger, and I should just kick you!" Who knew Edgar would be the one to coin 'kick a Ginger'. I wonder if he got the Copyright to that after Southpark used it in their episode.
"That's enough!" I stopped in front of Chip.
Edgar looked at me. "You are a dyke!"
"What's that?" Maddie whispered. Chip didn't speak, and he stayed behind Maddie.
I had no clue. "I have no clue." I told her, but it obviously was something bad, so I stood up to him. "What's a dyke?"
"You!" He pointed at me. Kids started to form a circle around us. "Vida is a dyke, Vida is a dyke." The kids began to laugh at me.
"I am not a dyke!" I yelled at him. At that point, I still had no fucking clue what the hell this kid was talking about.
Maddie got up. "Come on, V." She grabbed my hand and tried to pull me away from him. I stood firm. "Come on!" Chip nodded we should get out of there.
"Oh, now you need your little sister to tell you what to do?" He kept pestering me.
"I don't need Maddie to tell me what to do!" I yelled at him.
"Prove it!" He challenged.
I didn't know what else to do, so I kicked him in the balls, hard. He fell to the ground and got into fetal position. The teachers ran over, and I got suspended. That started my somewhat bad streak, and when I became very cynical.
By the time I was 13, my parents didn't like what I became. They always said, "¿Por qué no puede parecerse más a Maddie? (Why can't you be more like Maddie?)" or "¿Por qué no podría ser más como Freddy? (Why couldn't you be more like Freddy?)" Por qué debería ser más como Maddie, en nuestra familia, que está considerado el jarro de agua fría. (Why would I want to be like Maddie, in our family she is deemed a wet blanket.) Y Freddy, vamos a decir que es muy bonita. (And Freddy, let's just say he's very pretty.) My parents just wanted me to stop being a troublemaker.
I used that to my advantage. "'Me detendré, si papá me compra un plato. (I'll stop, if Daddy buys me a turntable.)" I presented. It didn't take long because my Dad picked me up and put me in the car and off we went.
My very first turntable, Technics SL 900, was amazing. I became a natural at it. Seriously, I would've loved to become like Spinderella from Salt N Pepa. That woman knew how to spin records. I continued working hard at it.
Before high school started, Maddie, Chip and I met Xander Bly. We became "Four of a Kind. All four of us hung out every chance we got. Before, during, and after school, our classmates would always see us together. I developed a crush on Xander.
Seriously, his Australian accent is to die for. His brown hair, nutmeg colored eyes, a little bit of tanned skin, and his charming personality, everything about him screamed sexy. I still swoon to this day about Mr. Bly. Even though, I hate his cocky personality, and I would love to kick that in the balls. A wink is being tossed your way, by the way.
However, before we became Power Rangers, and eventually started dating, the friendship Xander and I had was tested. The girl he dated, Sherry, annoyed me to no end!
We were at the lunch tables.
Xander came over with a dreamy look on his face. "Isn't today just wonderful?" He had a sing song voice.
We looked out the window of the cafeteria. Lightning, rain, and thunder clouded the sky.
"It's just dandy." I sarcastically said.
"Isn't it?" Xander smiled.
"What's got you so happy?" Chip asked.
"Sherry and I have another date tonight."
"Isn't that like your third date this week?" Maddie questioned him. He nodded.
"You're the reason that Sherry keeps procrastinating on our science project?" I couldn't believe it.
Xander turned his attention to me. "I had no clue that you were Sherry's partner, she told me she was partnered with some dyke."
Once I heard that, I got red. "I'll show her a dyke." I got up. My guy friends and sister tried to stop me. "What?" I hissed at them.
"Don't you can get suspended." Maddie said. I just looked at her. "Dad and Mom said if you got suspended again, your turntables will be taken away."
"The last time I got suspended was in the third grade! I can't believe they still remember that." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, I'll talk to Sherry." Xander, even at that time, thought his charm could get him out of anything.
I glared at him. "Sherry called me a dyke, how can I let that go?"
"Fighting doesn't solve anything." Chip chirped in.
"She'll listen to me." The future Green ranger chimed in. I saw him walkm and he began to talk to Sherry.
Maddie watched. "Do you think he can reason with her?" Chip shrugged, but I decided to talk.
"Que puta mierda tiene una boca grande, dudo que va a dejar de correr la misma. (That fucking bitch has a big mouth, I doubt she'll stop running it.)" I observed.
Sherry began to laugh, and then she looked at me. "Fine, she's not a dyke." I nodded. "She's a stupid bitch!" I fucking knew it.
I began to run towards her. Xander stood between us. "Get out of my way!" I yelled at him.
"No." He didn't budge.
"Please, Baby, stay between us, I don't want the man to pummel me." Sherry stayed behind him.
Maddie and Chip came up to me. They had my backs, but Xander didn't do anything. He didn't even defend me.
"Are you siding with her?" I asked as to why he didn't say anything. When I heard nothing from him, I decided to leave. I couldn't believe he would do that. They didn't even last! Obviously, we patched things up. It took a while though.
The four of us began working at Rock Porium. Then Nick Russell came along. There is something about him that makes him closed off, and he marches to the beat of his own drum. He was the first to agree to head to the woods when the 'old guy' needed help. Xander did try to convince him not to go into the woods. Obviously, he didn't listen.
So, that day, we ended up following Nick to help save the 'old guy's' family member. We traveled into the woods that was supposedly hanted. I wasn't too scared about it. And then, I met Udonna along with everyone else. Well, it's because she was the old man. Lovely, lovely, Udonna, when she told us of our destinies, I quickly accepted. At that point in my life, I was somewhat off a hot head, so maybe I could take my anger out on some Hidiacs and monsters. Eh, why not. The power I gained was incredible, and I felt on top of the world. Even if part of me thought it sounded crazy, I didn't deny it unlike a certain someone. Cough, cough Nick cough, cough.
I was given a wand, and I became 'Ever changing as the Wind-Pink Mystic Force ranger'. Kind of Heromine Granger-esque is you ask me. Wand and cape, I really embraced it. However, I cringed at the color. I hate pink. I destested that color growing up. I let Maddie handle that. Why couldn't I be the Blue ranger!
But I learned, the color doesn't define who you are as a ranger. I had to keep reminding myself that.
During our time as a ranger, I noticed Xander was still arrogant. Nick liked to do things his way. Maddie was still a little withdrawn, and Chip had a crush on Clare.
While in the Rock Porium, I noticed Chip was looking at a girly magazine. I walked up to him. "What do you have there?"
"Nothing!" He hid the magazine behind his back.
I quickly grabbed it. "101 Things that Can Make a Guy Undateable." I laughed. "Let me guess, Clare?"
"How did you know?" He asked me.
"Let me see, I am like a big sister to you." He warily nodded. "Maddie has a big crush on Nick, even he seems oblivious to fact that he likes her, his damn self." He nodded. "Udonna, well, she's older than us."
After a few minutes, he gave in. "I like Clare." He confessed. I giggled. "She's beautiful, and I like that she's a little clumsy."
"Just be yourself, and you will get the girl." I walked back to work.
And then a realization hit, Chip liked me too.
When I was turned into a vampire, Chip kept trying to convince me of who I was.
But as a vampire, I felt powerful. Whether it was a spell or not, I wanted to keep that form. The time when I was evil, it felt good, better than good, it felt AMAZING. I guess this stems from being teased about being a tomboy, correctly, that's just a mild way to put it. Having that bad energy surrounding me, the teasing, the questioning of my sexuality, it came at me tenfold. I retaliated against my own teammates.
When Chip broke the spell, I felt remorseful. It was like Karma had kicked me in the ass. I wonder if that's how Dr. Oliver felt when he was a Green Ranger. Maybe, I should ask his wife that.
That's off topic. The idea of Chip liking me was somewhat amusing, but it was obvious I liked Xander still, even if I did find his cocky attitude a bit annoying. On top of that, I don't think a relationship would've really worked because the fights against The Master and Koragg were taking up all of our time. So, I disregarded anything to do with Chip and I.
I may have disregarded it with Chip, but I didn't do the same when it came to Xander. The 'Pimple Incident' with Xander was really funny. Poor Clare, she felt bad for not properly explaining what the "Plant Perfection Potion" really was. I helped Clare to make sure he wasn't a tree anymore. After he was turned to normal, that night Xander walked me home.
"Thank you, for helping to get me back to normal." Xander sincerely acknowledged.
I smiled. "You're welcome."
"Maybe you aren't such a spiteful, callous, dy-" I glared at him. "Kidding."
My gaze concentrated on him. "It's crazy. Your accent gets thicker when you kid around."
"I had no clue you paid that much attention to me." He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes. We stopped before my house. "You know, it's not what matters on the outside, it's what matters on the inside."
He laughed. "That's so corny."
"Yet so true." I defended myself. We were about to kiss. It was so close, so very close.
My brother came out the house. "Oh damn, Vida! He is cute!" Freddy seemed to like the Australian voiced man.
I blushed profusely. I decided to head inside.
"Vida!" He stopped me from going inside. "Maybe, one day, right?" He winked at me.
I quickly nodded and casually walked inside.
The battles were getting more intense, and secrets were getting revealed left and right. Udonna had revealed some details about the past. Clare's mother, Niella, was the Gatekeeper and had used her life force to seal the Underworld. Niella is Udonna's sister which means Clare is the niece of Udonna! Leanbow, Udonna's husband, was sealed in the Underworld as well. He was fighting the great war. Udonna and Leanbow had a son, Bowen, and Udonna believed he was still alive.
The things we were finding out were insane. Not as insane as finding out our greatest enemy, Koragg, is really Leanbow, or the fact that Nick is Bowen.
Nick, he's as stubborn as a mule. Once we got slimed, and we had to help each other to save our friends from Serpentina; I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to help. I don't know what made me so angry with him. I wonder if it was because he was playing with the turntables, or if it was because he annoyed me to all bits and pieces that he wouldn't admit his feelings to my sister. Nah, it's probably because both of us are just stalwarts.
The final battle had many downs. The Master took over Nick's body. Nick embodied Koragg's armor. Son and father fought. It was heartbreaking to watch. I wonder if some part of Nick was resentful for all of this. Nick broke free, and the reunion of Leanbow and Nick out of Koragg's armor was tearful. Rootcore was gone though. There were plenty of memories in that place.
Along with that, Mystic Mother was killed. Daggeron and Leanbow traveled to the Mystic Realm to take on The Master. We're fighting our own battle in the real world. It was a tough battle and our magic seemingly gets eaten. Daggeron and Leanbow can't destroy The Master, so The Master kills them. Jenji is destroyed as well. To add insult to injury, Udonna is taken.
Those were a lot of downs for a final battle if you ask me, but of course things got better. We helped to destroy Black Lance, Mystic Mother turned herself to a ball of energy. She helped to grant Clare full sorceress powers, and her, along with Snow Prince save us. Necrolai aided in saving Udonna as well as reviving Daggeron, Leanbow, and Jenji. By the way, LeeLee's mom is really hot. Oops, I think that was my other personality talking
Together we were able to destroy The Master. I dyed my hair pink because it was symbolic of my time as a ranger. Of course, Maddie will tell you of what happened between her and Nick.
A week after the final battle, the power withdrawals were, I don't really know how to describe them, but I swear I didn't think I could handle it. I had hot flashes, tremors, and sweat episodes. Maddie hadn't faired well either. I think it was nice that my sister and I became rangers together. I knew she understood what I was going through, and I believe a majority of the rangers didn't have the luxury.
I walked into Maddie's room one night. Blue energy began swirling around her.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her.
She just nodded. "I'm... good..." Had barely escaped her mouth. She used a cloth to wipe off her sweat.
I gathered some of my wind energy, and I shot it towards her, so she could cool down a bit. "Is that better?"
Maddie reveled in the wind. "Much." She smiled small. "And people think you're a bitch." She lighly giggled.
"It's only because they don't know me." I reminded her. People might think I'm a spiteful, evil, sinful puta (bitch), but I'm not. "Do you miss the power?" I questioned her as I stopped the wind from blowing onto her skin.
The blue energy stopped enveloping her. "I do, but it's nice to be back to normal." She turned her gaze towards me. "You?"
"Of course I miss kicking ass and turning into a Mystic Sprite like how you loved being a Mystic Mermaid." We both giggled. "But, you are right, it's nice to be back to normal. I want to go to start a career. Possibly radio, or whatever comes my way." Pink energy started to dance around me, and then I got weak, and I needed to lay down. "Shit, I can't just go to my room like this."
"Here." Lethargically, Maddie got up, and she helped me to lie down on her bed. She found a cup, and used her fingers to have some water go into an empty cup that was in her room. She placed another cloth in there, and began to wipe down my face. "Better?"
I nodded. I believe our time as a ranger has helped my sister and I become closer. Before, I felt we were seperated by her girly interests, and I had isolated myself from the teasing I had encountered from before. Now, it's not even like that.
Eventually, the power withdrawals stopped. Which is a very good thing.
A year later, Xander called me for a date. I went. SXander and I began to date. We began to date after he came back from helping Operation Overdrive. He became a partner at the Rock Porium, and we were happy. Yes, were. Once I became a disc jockey at the local radio station, he seemed to change. There was no trust, on both parts. Then we broke up.
However, that's not reason we broke up three months ago. See, Xander and I are on and off. First, pur break up was over trust, then we got back toether a month alter. We broke up again after Xander didn't want to commit. See, I wanted marriage, and he wanted to still be boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess he still didn't trust me. Then we got back together because he realized he didn't want to be without me. I really do love Xander, but the fact that he won't commit is what is hurting our relationship. That's why I broke up with him three months ago.
Guess my bad girl streak is still going on. If I really wanted to make things work with Xander, then I wouldn't be having sex with another guy. Yet, I'm thinking this guy is the former Green Mysticranger. Besides, I am single.
(End Flashback)
V moaned softly against Bishop's ear. She knew he was close. Once he came, Bishop pulled off the condom and lied down. He brought V closer to him, and he fell asleep.
The former Pink Mystic ranger got up. She needed to use the bathroom, and she brought her phone with her. There were two texts. One from Katie and one from Maddie. Katie blabbed about how tiny and awful the sex was with Rico. V giggled. Maddie wanted her to be safe and to let her know when she was coming back.
She noticed the voicemail icon and furrowed her brows. There wasn't a missed call alert. She pressed one and the send button. 1-1-1-3 is her voicemail password.
"Hey V-Baby, it's uh, Xander, I was just calling to see how you were doing. Nick let me know it was the annual female ranger reunion, and I miss you. I want to have a big talk when you get back. Call me when you can. I love you."
Vida stared at the phone. Tears entered her eyes. "What have I just done?"
A/N: Trini Kwan, Original Yellow, I'm excited to write her chapter.
