"Never Thought We'd Fall In Love,"
Chapter 3 "The Impossible Is Possible,"
Chances of Melanie seemed to dim away faster then idea to try were coming. Everyone was losing hope, it had been four weeks with no improvements Adam had to work but soon as he left work he was at the hospital. Even the doctors said it wasn't likely she would wake up. But there is always a few in the crowd that still believe. Ben, Aisha, Trini and Adam still believed Melanie could come out of coma.
Ben would go to the studio for a two hours, go the hospital for three hours, go to the juice bar for a hour then back to the hospital. Adam would go to work, get food for himself and Ben, and go to the hospital. Aisha would spend four hours a day up there and sometimes more if she didn't have work or if Adam and Ben were busy. Trini would spend every other hour, giving she wasn't asleep, with Melanie since she only worked during the school year. Adam and Ben were even sleeping in the hospital room.
` Melanie had been going in and out of conscious for two weeks. Now she was stuck in a dream state where she often seen glimpses of her past and things she couldn't understand, trying to break free. Deep down she knew that she was stuck in this state for a reason.
*~Melanie's First Dream~*
Little five year old Melanie laid in her bed in the dark. Peering over her blanket. She kept hearing noises from her closet and seeing dark figures moving around. She held her teddy bear close to her chest.
"Mommy!" cried Melanie
"Daddy!" cried Melanie.
A tall man with a muscular built to him from years in the United States Navy. He had curly light brown hair and ocean blue eyes. His voice deep but mellow and warm.
"What's the matter?" asked the man.
"Daddy, there noises in my closet again!" cried Melanie.
Melanie's dad turned on the light and took out a bottle with a name tag with Monster Be Gone written on it. He open the closet and sprayed the 'Monster Be Gone', also known as creek water.
"If the monsters give you any more problems take the flashlight and Monster Be Gone and spray them," said Melanie's dad.
"Goodnight my little cub," said Melanie's dad.
"Goodnight, daddy," said Melanie.
Melanie's dad left and went back to bed.
A hour later Melanie's eyes shot open. She was hearing growls and snarls from her closest. She knew this wasn't a dream or fake.
"Remember what daddy said," said Melanie grabbing the flash light and spray.
"Go away you foul beast," said Melanie her voice small and soft.
Melanie opened up her closet door. What she saw was not what most little kids saw. Most little kids see nothing when they open their closet.
Melanie saw a par of glowing red eyes and a black mass of a body. She tried the Monster Be Gone but that did nothing.
"Come here my pretty," said the creature in a deep sinister tone.
"DADDY!" screamed Melanie "DADDY!"
"I'm sure it's nothing, Mel," said Melanie's daddy.
He was horrified when he saw the creature. He took a bat and went after the creature. Going clearly on instinct and adrenaline.
Melanie ran back into her bed and grabbed her teddy bear. Then another creature came out from under the bed. Melanie screamed on the top of her lungs. She soon got a brilliant idea. She shined the flashlight in the eyes of the creature. Well, that wasn't such a brilliant idea.
The creature came back even more angry showing huge fangs. As it lunged at Melanie the necklace around Melanie's neck began to glow. It had a bright flame light glow to it. Melanie took it offer her neck, which she never did. She felt the urge to hold it in her hands.
The necklace had a gemstone in the middle. The gemstone looked something like a ember from a fire. The necklace was made out of pure silver.
Melanie felt a warmness fill her body. The a ball of flame of light chased the beasts of the night away.
Melanie's mother watched this happen. Her wavy long golden blonde in a bun. Her warm hazel eyes filled with pride not fear or worry. A look of reassurance of the future.
"That was a lovely experience," said Melanie's dad.
"Good job, sweetie," said Melanie's mother hugging Melanie.
"No more monsters," said Melanie her own big ocean eyes looking up at her mom.
"No more monsters, you scarred them away," said Melanie's mom.
"It talked to me," said Melanie.
"What did it say?" asked Melanie's dad.
"Come here my pretty, in a creepy voice," said Melanie hugging her bear and putting her necklace back on her neck.
"Lovely," said Melanie's mom.
*~Melanie's First Dream End~*
"Please Zordon, help her. She's like family," said Aisha.
"I don't know if you can hear me or not, but just know Adam, Trini, Ben, and I believe in you," said Aisha tears forming in her eyes.
She had never felt so helpless. Of course she had seen people pass on into the next life, be very sick, and be in pain. It was one thing to loss a person, but to have a person be a living being unable to respond, hurts much more. Being so close but let so far away.
"Without you I don't know what Adam would do, or Ben. They are both so sensitive people. Which is both a fault and a asset," said Aisha.
"People say talking does help. Most of the time they can hear us just can't respond to us," said Trini.
"I can't imagine how frustrating it is for them. Knowing that people are worried and want to talk to them, but let being unable to do anything," said Aisha.
"We just have to believe," said Trini.
"I know that Zordon is watching over us, so why won't he help her," said Aisha a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Maybe he is," said Trini.
"I hope so," Aisha wiping away a tear.
*~Melanie's Second Dream~*
It was the deep of night. It was jet black out, you couldn't see anything besides the full moon light and the porch light. It wasn't foggy though. The only thing that could be hear outside was the sounds of crickets.
Melanie's mother held the now six year old Melanie in her arms. No one had pajamas on. Melanie's curly golden blonde hair was in two pigtails. Her mom's hair was flowing down her back. Melanie's dad looked like he always did.
"Shh, it's alright," said Melanie's mo trying to calm Melanie.
But the six year old Melanie knew something was wrong. Something didn't feel right. She just knew something bad was going to happen.
Melanie held her teddy bear close to her chest.
Out of no where Melanie's father looked to the window and door. Melanie mother took of Melanie's necklace and put it Melanie's pocket.
"Leave it there. Don't let anyone see it otherwise they will take it away," whispered Melanie's mother.
"Jean, shh, we might be able to stall a minute or two," said Melanie's father.
"Kyle we can't. They are only two people here who can fight. Mel doesn't understand," said Jean.
"I love you," said Kyle missing Jean then Melanie's forehead.
"I love you too," said Jean.
"I love you both more," giggled Melanie.
"I know that you do, my little cub," said Kyle ruffling Melanie's hair.
Jean smiled faintly by her husbands nickname for her daughter. She was trying not to break down into tears or scare her daughter. But deep down she was just as scared as Melanie.
Kyle tried to smile, but he couldn't do it. He could never lie, and smiling right now to pretend nothing was wrong, would be lying. What hurt him the most was knowing he could save or protect his wife and daughter now. He felt helpless and useless. After all the years in the Navy it was going to end like this.
BOOM! BOOM! CRASH! CRASH!
The windows blew out and Melanie started to cry. Jean shielded Melanie's face from flying glass. People in black suits with no skin showing just there eyes.
The people in the black suits tore Jean and Kyle away from Melanie. When Jean was pulled away Kyle tried to reach out to his daughter was pulled away too.
"DADDY!" screamed Melanie "MOMMY!".
"Shut the girl up," said man.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" yelled Kyle.
"Shut up, it's not like any of you will live that long," said the man.
"Run!" yelled Jean biting one of her captures fingers so she could speak.
Melanie took off sprinting. She was terrified. She did the only thing a six year old would do, is fallow her parents orders. She ran out the back door. For once in her young life she was glad her family had a house on a cliff were where a secret cove with a cave laid bellow.
Melanie ran down the stairs which were made to blend into the cliff. By the time she reached the bottom she was out of breath but she wouldn't stop. She wadded through water that was up to her chest and swam into the cave with her teddy bear and necklace on top of her head. She crawled up to the rocky shore and curled up into a little ball cradling her teddy bear.
After many hours she could voices calling for her. It was her aunt and uncle. She came out and ran up to them. She didn't tell them what happened just that she was alone. She hid the gemstone from them by putting between the teddy bear and its orange cotton collar.
*~Melanie's Second Dream End~*
Adam came into the room. Trini had left to go home to have dinner with Zack. Aisha wanted to stay a few more minutes. Adam touched Melanie's cold hand.
"Where is Ben today?" asked Aisha.
"Jason took him outside of town for the day," said Adam.
"Good," said Aisha "this isn't the place for him."
"I'm worried about him. If, I mean IF, Melanie doesn't wake up what will he do," said Adam.
"I'm worried about the both of you," said Aisha.
"I know you can do it. Please come back to me," said Adam.
"We have to believe she will," said Aisha hugging Adam.
"I know but every second the chances are slimmer," said Adam.
"I have to go home. Rocky probably thinks I'm starving him," said Aisha.
"Alright, see you tomorrow or earlier if she wakes up," said Adam.
Adam's cell phone rang.
"Hey, Jason. How is the trip?" asked Adam.
"Good. Ben enjoyed himself. He actually passed out in my car, it was a busy day," said Jason.
"Good," said Adam.
"You guys just won't give up, will you," said Jason.
"I'm not giving up anytime soon," said Adam.
"I should go. It will be an hour before I even get into town," said Jason.
"Alright," said Adam hanging up.
"I can't believe it took me this long to realize that I can't be without you. I shouldn't have waited so long to ask you to marry me," said Adam.
Deep down Adam knew a breakthrough was near. He just had to wait and hope. Adam held Melanie's hand and held onto every bit of hope he had.
*~Melanie's Third Dream~*
Melanie found herself in a meadow. Rolling hills and blue skies. She could hear Adam's voice echoing. She was twirling around trying to find the source.
"Adam! I hear you! Where are you?" called out Melanie.
"He can't hear you," said a voice.
"Who are you?" asked Melanie.
"Keep on walking and you'll find a desert and building there," said the voice.
"I've gone officially insane," said Melanie starting to walk.
Soon the rolling hills and meadows turned into a dry hot desert.
Melanie could see a huge building that almost blended into the a cliff.
"Now what?" asked Melanie.
"Find a way up. If you can do that you have proven yourself," said the voice.
Melanie thought of her options. Option one give up. Option two try to climb the cliff. She knew already what she had to do.
She began to scale the cliff. She slipped a few times falling a few feet then finally reaching the top. She was glad to be on firm ground.
"Now to get inside," said Melanie to herself.
"Look with your heart not your eyes," said a faint female voice.
"Grandma Anderson," said Melanie.
But, the female voice was gone.
Melanie closed her eyes and walked forward until she felt the building. She felt along the building until the found a grove that caught her attention. She pushed forward on the wall. She felt herself falling forward so she put out her arms in front of her so she wouldn't fall on her face.
Melanie opened her eyes to find herself in a dark hallway. Then the entrance closed up by a unseen force.
"Hello," said Melanie walking forward.
"Now you may join me," said the voice.
Melanie felt this strange tingling feeling and a buzzing noise. Then she found herself in a room with a giant tube and many computers.
"My name is Alpha 5," said a robot with a lighting bolt on its chest.
"Wait a second. Your that robot Adam told me about," said Melanie.
"And I am Zordon," said a face appearing in the tube.
Melanie jumped back almost causing Alpha 5 to fall over. Melanie blinked a few times thinking his was hallucinating but the face stayed as did Alpha 5.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to almost knock you over," said Melanie.
"All systems are good," said Alpha.
"Okay then," said Melanie.
"That was a better reaction then usual and of what I expected," said Zordon.
"Many many years ago and remember speaking to your grandmother in this very room. She was more frightened then you are," said Zordon.
"Wait you knew my grandmother," said Melanie.
"And your great-grandmother and your mother," said Zordon.
"This is getting creepy," said Melanie.
"You already know about Power Rangers. So I can skip that part. I made another group called the Guardians. They were made to protect Power Rangers. The Guardian powers choose the person, not the person chooses the powers. Most of the time it ruins in family. Your gemstone your parents gave you, is a power gem. It was your great-grandmothers," said Zordon.
"I never imagined," said Melanie.
"You have a animal spirit like my Power Rangers do. All rangers have animal spirits. Guardians are much closer to their animal spirits, the often share traits and actions with their spirit. Like your great-grandmother your spirit is the Mountain Lion. Calm, quite, and elusive," said Zordon "you also love the outdoors."
Melanie looked surprised by Zordon's description of her personality. She didn't know how he knew that, this is just plain bizarre.
"You have been in coma for the past four weeks in the real world. I've been trying to help you come out. I can't do anything more it's all up to you. Look to your animal spirit and let it guide you," said Zordon.
Melanie took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She saw a Mountain Lion.
*~Melanie's Third Dream End~*
Melanie slowly clenched her hand around Adam's hand. Adam eyes shot over to his hand in surprise.
"Melanie," said Adam feeling like a child who just found their parents after being lost in a zoo.
Melanie's ocean blue eyes fluttered open. She looked at Adam and smiled.
"Adam," said Melanie so faint Adam almost didn't hear it.
Adam called for the doctor.
"Don't ever do that to me again," said Adam.
"I'll try not to," said Melanie.
Adam smiled softly.
"You called," said Dr. Williams.
"I just wanted to show you that the impossible is possible," said Adam.
"Amazing," said Dr. Williams.
"Don't touch me," said Melanie.
"He's a doctor," said Adam.
"I don't care," said Melanie feeling like a cornered kitten.
"Everything is perfectly fine," said Dr. Williams.
"How long does she have to stay?" asked Adam.
"She can leave tomorrow," said the Dr. Williams.
"Nurse!" called Dr. Williams.
"Take the IV out. She doesn't need anything," said Dr. Williams.
Melanie flinched when the nurse took out the first nettle. Adam ran a hand threw Melanie's hair. Melanie forced her attention to Adam. Melanie didn't feel the other nettles come out but she knew they were after she saw the nurse leave.
"I was so worried," said Adam.
"I know. I could hear sometimes," said Melanie.
"You won't believe my dreams in coma," said Melanie.
"Try me," said Adam.
Melanie went into describing each dream in the past day. Adam smiled when her heard the last one.
"I knew there was a reason you seemed to special to me," said Adam kissing Melanie softly on the lips.
"What would I do without you," said Melanie.
"Let hope we don't find out what life is like without each other is anytime soon," said Adam.
Ben came into the room. His mouth dropped open then he closed it. He hugged Melanie but gently.
"I'm not made of glass," said Melanie.
"You scared me," said Ben.
"I know," said Melanie.
Ben let go and sat down next to Adam. Melanie saw at least two good things that had became of this whole situation. Adam and Ben seemed to get along better. Adam and herself had realized how much they needed each other. She know believed that fate works in amazing ways.
