A/N: Another chapter from your's truly
Up to the Challenge
Sabrina's eyes widened as she stared at the tower of old cardboard boxes that had been stacked up near the exit gate of the training grounds; the training grounds keepers had spent half the day collecting up the boxes of new equipment and putting them ready to be thrown out but now there were a total blaze. The red head's hands covered her mouth as she stared at them with Hunter and her other trainers around her "At least you wont have to throw them out now..." she stated trying to ease the tension that filled the air, and the dark looks she was receiving from people around her as they run for extinguishers to put out the flames.
"Come on," Hunter said, noticing the glares. He wrapped his hands around his girlfriend's shoulders and led her away from the training grounds. Once they were safe, he frowned down at her "What happened?" he asked
She shrugged "I don't know..." she frowned "...one minute everything was going great, then I threw out my hand to avoid another attack, and a fireball shot out of my hand. I yelled for the team to move and it just so happened to be a tower of boxes behind them!" she buried her face in her hands "Hunter, what's happening? I've never had this problem with my powers before"
The older blonde shook his head "You could still be tired," he suggested
"How is that possible?" she asked "Remember Beevil? Cam had us all up at 3:00AM because Dustin was caught with that stupid device! And my powers worked fine after that"
Hunter sighed "Then I don't know," he told her "Call you're mom or Tommy, talk to them. Ask them if they can find anything out about it. Maybe there's something we've missed"
"Okay..." she whispered, as they re-entered the Aqua base. Hunter followed her through the hallways and back to her room, where she changed out of her training clothes and into something more comfortable for her. She grabbed her Soccer shorts and a scarlet t-shirt from her wardrobe, before dropping down on her bed and reaching for her trainers which were underneath.
"What are you doing today?" he asked, dropping down beside her
She shrugged, as she tied her laces "I don't know," she told him "Probably try and figure out what the hell is going on with my powers"
"Are you gonna call you're mom?" he asked
She nodded "Yeah. If they can shed a little light on things, then why not, Right?" she asked, looking up at him. He nodded. She smiled, before looking up as someone knocked her door, with a small frown, she jumped up and slid it open to find a sopping wet Chad on the other side "Hey Chad," she smiled "What's up"
"I heard about what happened at your training exercise this morning," he told her "So im gonna teach you some basic Tai Chi manoeuvres, to help you keep your cool. Maybe if you relaxed while training, you wouldn't start throwing accidental fireballs"
The red head shrugged "Sure, Chad" she nodded "Meet you in the galley"
"Okay," he nodded before walking away
Sabrina sighed and re-closed the door before turning to Hunter "What are you doing today?" she asked, wrapping her arms around his waist as she lay into him.
"Work," he answered, looking down at her to see a small frown slid onto her lips "We'll spend the day together soon...promise" this caused her frown to turn into a smile. He smiled back, before kissing the top of her head "I gotta go. I'll see you later..." before kissing her lips as she looked up at him.
She nodded and turned to him as he headed for the door "Have fun!"
"Haha," he laughed mockingly as she smirked in his direction, before he left. Several moments after he had left, so did she; although she detoured at the labs and knocked on Kelsey's bedroom door.
"Kelsey!" she called "Wake up! Meet me in the Galley" and she bounced away down the hall and out of view of a miserable looking Kelsey. Who clearly wasnt a morning person.
-Scene-
"Morning," Kelsey yawned as she strode into the Galley for breakfast that morning, she found Sabrina at the breakfast counter grabbing an apple and a bottle of water "What's the big emergency?" she asked, reaching the younger teens side. "Is that you're breakfast?" she frowned
Sabrina looked up as she bit into her apple "Yeah," she nodded, before getting to the point "Chad's drag me out to the park to practise some Tai Chi; I want some company"
"You'll have Chad," the yellow ranger complained
"I need someone who is on the same wavelength as me," Sabrina responded "Chad's great, don't get me wrong. But he's like a cross between Carter and Joel. Knows when to have fun, but doesn't have much of it. I need someone I can joke around with, and make me laugh and smile"
The Yellow ranger nodded "Fine," she stated "But you owe me!"
"Deal!" they shook on it.
At that moment the Blue Ranger approached them and handed over his breakfast tray as Kelsey grabbed the smoothie that had just been made for her "I made friends with this huge, grouper fish this morning!" he grinned
"Can't believe you get up early every morning, just to swim with the fish" Kelsey stated, sipping her smoothie straight from the blender "and you..." she turned to Sabrina "You get up just to train. As if training practice with us at noon isn't enough"
Sabrina shrugged "Im used to it. My uncle used to get me up at dawn to train!"
"So it's routine?" Kelsey asked. Sabrina nodded. "Never mind..."
"You're coming with us?" Chad asked, looking between the red head and Yellow ranger. Kelsey nodded. "Cool. Im gonna teach you both something new. You'll like it. Come on" and grabbing both by the hands he pulled them from the Aqua base. And towards the park that was near-by.
xXx
Once at the park, Sabrina and Chad immediately fell into position and silence as the Phoenix ranger followed the movements that Chad was showing her with perfect balance. It was like Tai Chi was second nature to her, and she had been practicing it all her life. Meanwhile, Kelsey was having trouble as she didnt have a clue what was going on, she sighed in the end and dropped her arms before turning to the two beside her "I don't know about this Tai Chi!" she stated "I think Skateboarding is more my speed"
"You and my friend Shane," Sabrina spoke up, looking at the Yellow ranger "would be perfect for one another! He's also into Skateboarding. You should see him, he's awesome!"
Kelsey grinned "Cool. Loved to meet him sometime,"
"I'll beg him to come visit one day" the red head responded "Besides; Tai Chi will help you achieve inner calmness. The only reason im here is because the Phoenix has been acting up the past couple of days, and it's driving me right up the wall!"
Chad nodded in agreement with the Phoenix ranger "And she's not the only one who needs it," he added, motioning to Kelsey
"Are you saying, im not calm?" Kelsey asked, as she turned back to face the blue ranger
Chad seemed to realize what he had said and stumbled over his words to try and set it right "Kelsey! I think you're awesome! Your...adventurous, um...uh...totally fearless...but sometimes you get a little...over excited"
Sabrina groaned and slapped her hand to her forehead "Oh, dude," she said nudging Chad "You were so close!" she shook her head "so close!"
"What?" Kelsey asked, her face changing from the grinning smile that was forming to a pout. She dropped onto the steps of the temple they had been practising in front of, crossed her arms and sulked. Chad frowned and turned to Sabrina with a pleading look as the red head threw up her arms in defeat.
"What do you want me to do?" she asked "I don't know how to play peace maker! Im usually the fiery red head, that gets into more trouble than she can handle!" but the look on Chad's face didnt go away, Sabrina sighed in defeat "Fine! I'll try!" she told him before moving forward and kneeling down in front of Kelsey "Come on Kel," she said, "Chad didn't mean it! Besides he's a guy, they say stupid things! -"
"Hey!" Chad complained "You're supposed to be cheering her up, not making me look worse!"
Sabrina shot him a look "Shush!" she told him, before turning back to her friend "Trust me when I say boys are clueless. I've been around 7 guys and each and every one of them was as clueless as the last, I mean, even Hunter was clueless, and that's before we got together. But it's built into their genetic make-up, so we can't change them. They just gotta learn!"
Kelsey smiled as she looked down at the red head "You couldnt have said any better than that," she grinned "But I don't get over excited...do I?"
"Uh..." Sabrina hesitated
Thankfully enough the sound of an engine cut through the tension and saved her from answering, looking over her shoulder the red head spotted a motorcycle with two people on board. One was a guy the other a girl. Pushing herself to her feet as the guy approached she took to Chad's side as Kelsey stood on his other. "Well," the guy sneered at the three of them "if it isn't the Blue, Yellow and Scarlet Rangers."
"Im Chad," the Blue ranger smiled "This is Kelsey and Sabrina" he added motioning to each girl behind him. Chad held out his hand, the guy moved to take it, before rejecting the invitation.
"So I bet, you think you're tough, huh?" he asked
Chad exchanged looks with the two girls "Well, no" he responded
"I bet he's nothing without his fancy ranger powers," the girl near the motorcycle stated,
Chad shook his head, "Come on," he said grabbing Kelsey and Sabrina's arms "lets go" and he pulled them backwards as the two girls started towards the idiot guy. Sabrina wouldnt have minded just planting one in the girls' chest just to shut her up.
"I thought so," the guy shouted after the three of them "you're just chicken without your powers!"
Kelsey wouldnt stand for any of this, and turned to Chad "He's not chicken!" she yelled "Come on, show him Chad"
"He doesnt have prove anything!" Sabrina told her friend "Besides, we're not supposed to use our Ranger Powers to start a fight. It would be unfair"
Chad nodded and pointed at the red head "She's right, Kels" he told her, ignoring the noises the guy was making behind him. The three rangers nodded and headed towards their stuff, and started to pack it away. Just as Chad reached for his towel, the guy's foot landed on top of it. After several times of politely asking the guy to move, Chad pulled the towel sending the guy crashing to the floor and Kelsey and Sabrina to start laughing.
"Don't let him get away with that Brian," the girl stated from behind "Get him!"
So, this punk's name was Brian, eh? Well, he was in for a world of hurt if he didnt back off. Pushing back to his feet Brian, yelled and rushed forward; Chad ducked and avoided each attack Brian sent at him. The only attack he inflicted of his own was the one that tripped Brian and sent him crashing to the ground at his girlfriend's feet. Sabrina and Kelsey smirked at one another and patted Chad's shoulders as the two behind them conversed; that was until their morphers beeped.
"Rangers, there has been an attack in the down town area," Captain Mitchell sounded
"Let's go!" Kelsey said, as she and Sabrina grabbed her stuff and took off with Chad behind them.
xXx
Once at the building, and after Carter had given instructions on how to proceed further; Joel took to the grounds to help the people who had gotten hurt outside the building with Carter. While Chad worked on putting out the fire. This left the three girls, Dana had taken to the Dash Rescue with Sabrina in control as Kelsey took to her own Rescue Zord the Haz Rescue and was blasting her way through the walls of the building to reach the people inside.
"What is she doing?" Dana questioned as she watched Kelsey, blast through another wall "she's so reckless. If she's not careful, it's not only the people who are gonna need medical attention"
Sabrina remained quiet as she listened to Dana, but also coming up with her own ideas of what was going on with Kelsey. Maybe Chad was right as well as Dana now; maybe Kelsey was reckless and a little over excited. But wasnt that a good thing? Most people wouldn't have thought of barging straight through a concrete wall, some would freeze up at the thought.
"Works every time," Kelsey smirked as she broke down the wall in front of her, and emerged in the underground parking lot where the people were situated and needed rescuing. The three girls take to the ground on foot and immediately run towards the injured people, gathering them together in a group so Dana could look over and heal their injuries without moving around the room, at least this way, all together she didnt have far to move if someone else needed drastic help. After helping the people as much as she can, they are loaded into the Dash Zord and Sabrina leads the way out, over the debris.
Back outside, the girls were met by the others, who immediately helped them with two adults, as Sabrina scooped up the child. It was a young boy. She cradled him in her arms and hurried towards his parents, who were in the care of Dana, she set the boy down, ruffled his hair before turning her attention back to her team "That was some stunt you pulled in there Kelsey," she told her yellow ranger friend
"What? That old stunt?" Kelsey asked "it was nothing!"
Carter grabbed her shoulders "Well next time tell us when you're gonna do something crazy like that!" he said, rubbing his knuckles into her helmet causing laughter to come from her as Dana regrouped with the others. The laughter was cut off as seat erupted from the ground and a crazy, green frog like creature appeared.
"Play time's over Rangers!" he growled at them
The Rangers fell into formation "What are you doing here, Shmogger?" Carter asked
"Shmogger?" Sabrina giggled "What kind of name is that?"
"This!" the monster yelled, ignoring Sabrina and answering Carter. As if in cue, Batlings appeared and the struggle began. Managing to pull away from her Batlings and destroy them, Sabrina turned to the monster as he escaped.
"Kelsey! Chad! Sabrina!" Carter said to the three of them "Don't let him get away!"
"We're on it!" the Blue ranger nodded, taking off after the monster along with the two girls hot on his heels.
-Scene-
"He's heading towards the building!" Sabrina called as she followed behind Chad and Kelsey, the former of the two firing her blaster wildly "Kelsey! Relax!" she shouted, but the girl took no heed in the warning and continued onwards into the building. Chad sighed and followed her, trying to stop her and calling at her to stop firing, but Kelsey continued to either ignore them...no she was ignoring them, there was no second option for her actions, as she reached the door of the building an explosion erupted and the Red head was thrown backwards, she groaned as she hit the ground and rolled for a bit before looking up as Chad and Kelsey appeared; they hit the ground with heavy thuds, before de-morphing.
"No!" She screamed as the monster walked away; seeing Chad getting up she realised he was okay, but Kelsey wasn't moving. Lifting her morpher she opened a link between her and Dana "DANA!" she yelled "WE NEED MEDICAL HELP! WE NEED AN AMBULANCE!"
"Sabrina," Carter's voice sounded "What's going on? Why do you need medical help?"
Sabrina shook her head despite him not being able to see her "JUST GET OVER HERE!" she yelled "NOW!" she cut off the link and skidded to a stop beside Kelsey and Chad, de-morphing instantly. "Are you okay?" she asked Chad, he nodded.
"Are you okay?" the Blue ranger asked the Yellow, as he rolled her over in his arms
She frowned "Im sorry," she told them "I should have listened to you" she coughed "is that what you meant, by being 'over excited'?" she asked, before losing consciousness once more.
"Kelsey!" Sabrina exclaimed, checking for a pulse. She sighed when she found it.
xXx
Sabrina swallowed hard as she sat beside the hospital bed; this was the fourth time she had been in one of these rooms and each time her fear never got any better! The first time she had been in a hospital room, she had lost the one person who she loved more than anyone. Her Grandfather. The kind of relationship the two shared was stronger than any friendship Sabrina would ever have. He had died 3 days after her 13th birthday, 3 days after he had given her a small hand held Soccer ball; it wasn't just a birthday present it was also a memorable gift; it was given to her because also on her 13th birthday she had become one of the youngest people ever to join a National Soccer Team: the Miami Lions. Her grandfather couldnt have been more proud of her, and had promised her that when he got out of the hospital he would go to every single one of her games...He never did make it to one of her games.
The second time she had been in the hospital was, after she had moved to Blue Bay Harbour, she had been in Storm Charges when a monster had attacked and because it was a magnetic monster the pull for metal was strong and she had been hit in the back of the head with a tool box, causing her to lose consciousness and later be emitted to the hospital for further tests and to make sure there was no long lasting damage. Of course, at the time she was coming into her Phoenix powers and she had the ability to heal, so the doctors were surprised when they checked her head and found no scar or wound, except a chunk of mattered hair, that clung together from the blood that had seeped from the head wound. Of course she had been asked questions, but Sabrina merely shrugged them off, saying she could magically heal herself would have earned her a one way ticket to a loopy hospital.
The Third time had been when her uncle had become invisible and suggested they use his Dino Gem to bring him back! That was a big disaster just waiting to happen. Of course the Gem was too strong and his heart couldnt taken the pressure that rippled through it from every burst of energy the Gem gave out, effectively his body shut down and the machine exploded shattering the Gem in to three pieces. The Great Tommy Oliver was thrown into a coma and emitted to Reefside General Hospital for further attention and care. Of course he had survived, but that didnt mean she didnt think he would die. Then she would lose another who meant more to her than life itself.
Now, Kelsey was the one in the hospital bed. She was asleep at the moment, but the machine beside the bed continued to beep, counting her heart beats. At least she was alive, that was the main thing, but it didnt help with the slight panic attack that was forming over the red head sitting beside her. Hugging her legs close to her, Sabrina rocked back and forth her eyes closed and head buried in her knees. The logical thing to do would be to get up and walk out, but the panic would only consume her more even in the hallway, and she really didnt want to make a scene. Fresh air would do her good now; but she was scared to move in case she passed out, because she could feel it coming on. Her hands were starting to get clamming, and her breathing was starting to come in short gasps.
Chad had already left, she said she wouldnt be long; maybe they would notice she was taking a while and someone would come get her. She knew she would calm down slightly if there was someone else in the room beside Kelsey. Someone who was awake. She didnt know why she hadnt asked Chad to stay, but she put it down to fear. She was afraid of people knowing she was scared of Hospitals, because it made her feel week and venerable. But right now, she was cursing herself for allowing the only other person who had been awake in the room to leave. Help she pleaded mentally; like that was gonna do much good.
Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Chad was shaking his head and blaming himself "This whole thing is my fault!" he said, walking away from the door, as Dana sat him down opposite Carter "I should have stopped her! Sabrina tried, but she ignored her! I was right there beside her!"
"Yeah right!" Joel spoke "Everyone knows there is no way of stopping that girl, once her mind is made up!"
"And the doctor said she is gonna be fine," Dana added
Suddenly the morphers beeped "Carter here," the red ranger answered
"We've located the Shmogger," Captain Mitchell stated "He's in the main street tunnel"
"I'll get Sabrina," Dana said, jumping up and pushing open Kelsey's door to find the Yellow ranger staring fearfully at a lightly sobbing red head "Sabrina?" Dana asked, touching her friends shoulder and earning a jump in response "Woah, easy" she calmed the teen "Are you okay?"
"I am now," Sabrina answered, sighing in relief when she saw the blonde, and reaching up to dry her eyes "I got the call. Let's go!" she then jumped up and sprinted out of the room, fasting than a cheetah.
Dana frowned and looked at Kelsey "Don't look at me," the Yellow ranger answered "I woke up and found her crying..."
The blonde nodded "You rest up, I'll find out what's up with Sabrina after we've dealt with the monster"
"Okay," Kelsey answered, wincing slightly as she moved.
xXx
Once outside the hospital, Sabrina skidded to a halt as soon as the doors closed behind her; she breathed in gulp full's of fresh hair as her heart rate returned to normal, her hands started to feel less clammy and stopped shaking. Her fear was residing and she was starting to feel back to normal. The doors opened beside her and Joel, Dana, Carter and Chad appeared the three former running past her but Chad faltered as a Batling across the road waved at him, the Blue ranger frowned and started forward but Carter reappeared and stopped him.
"Wait," he told the Blue ranger "it might be a trap"
Sabrina pushed off the wall and walked forward "That's why Im going with him," she told the two "I can flame us out if anything goes badly"
Carter considered this for a moment before nodding; and watching as the two run across the road and disappeared behind two Ambulances. The Batling was waiting for them, it pulled out a scroll and handed it to Chad, who opened it and read, Sabrina reading over his shoulder. "Blue Ranger, under the guidance from my new master Vypra. I now have the skills to defeat you. I challenge you to fight me again, and this time I will be the victor. Brian"
"Vypra?" Sabrina questioned "Now im definitely coming with you!" she told Chad "The day I trust Vypra is the day I can lift the Dash Rescue 100 times with one hand!"
Chad frowned at her "That'll be the day,"
"Exactly!" the red head exclaimed, before the two followed the Batling towards the place where Brian and Vypra were training.
-Scene-
"...I think you're ready for battle," Vypra stated, as she stood in front of Brian, who had just destroyed several wooden boards. From a distance, Chad and Sabrina arrived.
"Vypra!" Chad yelled "Let him go!" and he pointed at Brian
Sabrina scoffed "Should have known you'd be nose deep in all this!" she snapped at Vypra, her blue eyes narrowing at her new enemy
"Just in time," Vypra spoke; glaring at Sabrina "I see you've met my new warrior" she glanced at Brian
Chad stopped short of Brian "Come on," he said "We're gonna get you out of here!"
"Im not going anywhere!" Brian yelled "You are going to fight me!"
"No," Chad shook his head "You dont have to do this"
Vypra interrupted "Yes he does! - GET HIM!"
Brian runs at Chad who ducked to avoid the hit; the fight began as a group of Batlings surrounded them, preventing Sabrina from gaining access to help if anything went wrong. Vypra smirked in the red head's direction "It's only to keep things fair, little ranger" she spoke.
"Yeah, of course" Sabrina snapped, motioning to the Batlings "it's obvious you've got a back-up plan, for when Brian fails!"
The two glared at one another from across the clearing before turning back to the fight; each keeping one another their line of vision from the corner of their eyes. For a while, Chad just avoided Brian's attacks, before he was knocked off his feet and landed on his back heavily. "Chad!" Sabrina yelled, starting forward but was cut off as the Batlings formed a tighter circle around the two.
"You're coming with me!" Chad said, getting back to his feet and looking at Brian, as he removed his jacket "Even if I have to do this the hard way" he threw his Lightspeed Jacket at Sabrina who caught it, as she watched her friend wipe the floor with Brian, just like he had that morning at the temple.
Vypra shook her head, clearly unimpressed "Pathetic human!" she spat "I should have known"
"I've been taught," Sabrina retorted "that the student -" she pointed at Brian "is only a reflection of the teacher," and she pointed at Vypra to prove her point "his bad fighting only comes from you're training!"
Vypra glared angrily at the red head, as Chad approached Brian, holding out his hand to help him up. Just as Brian was about to take the Blue ranger's hand, Chad was caught by a few Batlings the others forming a wall between Sabrina, the two boys and Vypra "Maybe now, you can finish the job," she told Brian as she approached him.
"What are you doing?" Brian asked, looking from the captured Chad and back to Vypra "This is my fight!"
"You dare defy me?" Vypra growled
Brian looked relatively scared "This isn't right!" he said, shaking his head, but earning a hit in the stomach from Vypra. He doubled over.
"Brian!" Chad yelled, moving forward by was held back by the Batlings
"Destroy him!" Vypra said, holding up her sword "or I'll destroy you!"
Sabrina eyed the sword through the wall of Batlings; she had to do something...but what? With a yell, Brian raced forward his fist swinging backwards before plummeting into the shoulder of a Batling knocking it away from Chad. The two boys stared at one another, as Brian's eyes returned to a greenish blue, rather a murky yellow. The moment, however, was interrupted as a Batling rushed at Brian from behind.
"Look out!" Chad said, pointing over the guy shoulder; but the Batling was knocked away as a Fireball connected with its side and sent it tumbling before disappearing. Chad and Brian frowned and turned to Sabrina, who flicked her wrist as another fireball appeared.
"Like I said," she smirked "The student reflects the teacher!" and with that comment the fight, between, Chad, Sabrina, Brian and the Batlings began. Quickly the three of them stood victorious; and turned to Vypra who was stood surprised at the sudden turn of events.
"No one is gonna tell me what to do anymore," Brian stated, staring at his former 'mistress'
Vypra pointed her sword at Sabrina and Chad "You'll regret this Rangers!" she snapped at them before getting in her Vyprari and taking off, to wherever it was she run too when she was sadly defeated. The three watched her go, before Brian frowned and turned to the two rangers.
"Thanks," Brian smiled at them "and Im sorry for everything and making you come save me"
Chad shook his head "Forget it," he responded "Now you dont have to prove yourself to anyone"
The two smiled and shook hands, before Sabrina intervened "I hate to break up this bro-bonding moment" she grinned "but we still have the Shmogger to take care of," she looked at Chad and motioned over her shoulder
"She's right," Chad nodded "We have to go"
"Good luck!" Brian called after them, before waving them off. The two morphed and Sabrina quickly flamed them out.
-Scene-
"...one wounded Ranger and five left," the monster taunted, after he had thrown Carter away from him. The Red ranger rolled before getting back to his feet as Joel and Dana helped him up. The Shmogger moved forward, but was knocked back as Chad appeared over head. The Blue ranger delivered a jump kick-double combo to the chest and sent the monster rolling, curled up in a ball. When he re-opened and got to his feet he was knocked back again as Sabrina flamed it, Fire staff in hand and slashing downwards as flames followed her trail. The monster groaned, as he hit the ground, and Sabrina spun around doubling back to stand by her friends.
"Rescue Bird!" Carter called into his morpher, as Sabrina fell into step beside Joel. The bird appeared, transforming into the Unilaser, as the rangers fell into position. Sabrina taking Kelsey's place instead of her own, seeing as the Yellow ranger was still hospitalized. "Fire!" the red ranger commanded, firing a single strand of energy at the monster and destroying him once and for all.
"One wounded Ranger!" Sabrina spoke "One destroyed monster!"
The others chuckled at her, before heading back to the base to check on Kelsey. The Red head, stopping at the door of the infirmary as the others crowded around the Yellow ranger's bed. She smiled as she saw her friend sitting up, but had no desire to have another panic attack; at least here in the door frame she was both in and out of the infirmary.
xXx
A few days passed, and little by little Kelsey was restore to her full health; Sabrina had been cornered by both her and Dana two days ago and forced to explain why she had been a mess back in Kelsey's hospital bed room. The red head had eventually told them about her fear of Hospitals but how she wanted to be sure that Kelsey was okay and had led herself to believe that she was over the Phobia. But in truth she hadnt really gotten over it, just suppressed it because she wasnt around Hospitals, it was kinda hard for her to face her fear. It wasn't like getting over a phobia of Spiders or drowning...for that it was easy to face your fears, but being in a Hospital just made her close up completely.
After swearing the girls to secrecy, as she didnt want to make a big fuss of her fear the three went their separate ways. Leaving Sabrina feeling slightly free that someone else knew about how bad her phobia really was.
Now it was two days later, and the Red head was in the park with Kelsey and Chad practicing Tai Chi, it was a real surprise to find Kelsey so calm and serene and quiet; the Tai Chi was clearly working.
"Hey I did it!" the Yellow ranger cried happily, after the three had finished. She turned to her friends to see them exchange amused grins "Don't laugh, but I do feel alot calmer"
Chad nodded "I told you," he grinned
"Come on Kids," someone called from behind them, and Sabrina swivelled around as she recognized the voice "Try and keep up with me"
"Hey," Sabrina said, nudging Chad and pointing at the guy.
The blue ranger grinned "Hey Brian!" he called, raising his hand as he waved
Brian looked over and returned the gesture "Hey Chad! Kelsey! Sabrina!" he smiled "Good to see ya," and he took off after the kids who had run ahead of him.
"Wow," Kelsey said, clearly impressed by Brian's change of attitude "I guess people really can change"
"Absolutely," Chad nodded
Sabrina also nodded and turned back to her friends as Kelsey continued speaking "Okay, I've learned something from you" she stated "now we have to figure out something you can learn from me."
Chad looked thoughtful; everything Kelsey did wasnt really something he would be able to grasp straight away. Suddenly a female shouted sounded, and Sabrina and Chad ducked as a Tennis ball soared at them and hit Kelsey on the head. The red head gasped as she smothered her giggles with her hand, as Chad apologized and swooped down to pick up the tennis ball, before looking up at the owner of it. A pretty dirty blonde.
"Um..." the Blue ranger said, clearly tongue-tied and making Sabrina laugh more
The tennis girl grinned "Sorry about that"
"That's okay," Chad responded, getting more and more nervous "uh...here you go" and he handed back the tennis ball.
Sabrina grinned and turned to Kelsey "How about teaching him how to talk to girls?" she suggested "I would normally say leave it to Joel," she added "But who know's how to talk to girls better than...a girl?"
The yellow ranger laughed but nodded in agreement nonetheless "Deal!" she said, high-fiving the red head "and I'll teach you...well, I don't know yet...but I'll think of something"
"Awesome!" Sabrina grinned, as the two run off towards Chad; as the Tennis girl walked away. "Come on!" she said, grabbing his hand "We gotta go"
"Wait! Where?" Chad asked, looking at his morpher thinking they had a call
Kelsey shook her head "Nope, nothing like that" she smiled, taking his other hand "Im gonna teach you how to talk to girls!"
And with identical grins the two girls pulled Chad with them, as they ran from the park.
A/N: Another update. Again, sorry there wasnt an update yesterday, but I didnt get in until 12:30AM last night and I was wrecked and I couldnt walk straight...let alone type. But here it is the next chapter in the Phoenix Prophecy. Ouch, Sabrina's fear of Hospitals hasn't seemed to gotten better, has it? It's strange, I found that part of the story relatively easy to write; seeing as I have a severe case of Arachnophobia (fear of Spiders) and I just wrote how I felt when my fear is triggered.
Anyway, what did you think? You're thoughts mean everything to me.
Next chapter brings with it familiar faces.
Review (please)
