The rangers walked and got into the woods. The silence was still with them and the anxious too. They didn't feel like they were going to do something important but in their head there was something telling them to be careful. That people sometimes could be worse than the nighloks and could hurt even more. However they didn't want to think in bad things so they were just trying to focus on their way to the city.
Lauren and Jayden were the most worried because, though Lauren didn't know too much the rangers, she felt like her team would be in danger again and as the Red Ranger she needed to protect her team. And Jayden was worried because now, he didn't see his team as just co-workers; they were his friends and even more his family. They had saved him a lot of times before, and now, if there was any possibility, he would return the favor. But he begged for that not to be necessary because he expected a good behavior from the people they saved before, and from the people who were angry, he expected just some insults.
As everyone continued walking the tense was getting harder. They felt a big weight on the shoulders that just the final of the day could take off. And as they walked the tiredness was getting the rangers, or at least Emily.
The forest looked like an infinite path to her and everyone was noticing that. In the middle of the way Emily gasped and sat down on a rock. Everyone stopped and looked to Emily.
Lauren turned to her "Emily, are you okay?"
She nodded her head. The rangers didn't know she was pregnant and the yellow ranger wanted to keep that way. If they knew it, it was for sure her friends would start to fuss over her and she didn't like that. She considered herself strong enough to need help for other people. Maybe mentally she was a little weak but physically she was fine.
Mike trying to get the attention out of her sat with Emily and wrapped one arm around her. "Hey Emily, I told you to sleep last night." He shook his head and looked to his friends "Sorry buddies but she didn't have a good night"
"Nightmares?" Antonio asked. He continued to have nightmares about the nighloks returning to invade the world.
"Kind of…" Emily shrugged.
Mia walked to Emily and asked "Emily, maybe you're tired because of the ba…"
"Mia!" Emily shouted and she mumbled "I'm fine".
Mia hesitated to answer. Emily gave her a look of don't say anything and she understood that. The pink ranger smiled and continued " …the bacon, Emily"
All rangers, including Emily glared at her perplexed. The ranger of Earth finally said "Yes… Mia. The bacon"
"The bacon?" Jayden asked more confused.
"Yeah, you know…" Mike added "Emily have eaten a lot of bacon recently. You know that have a lot of grease and that could affect the circulation of the blood."
That answer was unexpected. For Antonio, Jayden and Lauren it could a good answer but for Kevin was pure truth.
Kevin nodded his head "Yes, you're right Mike. Bacon isn't healthy and I think that's why Emily is like this… Em, you need to continue on a diet, that food craving you have for bacon it's…. not good"
"Yes, Kev. I promise to eat to more healthy."
Antonio scratched the back of his neck and looked to Emily "Wait a moment, Emily "The gold ranger turned to the yellow "why are you eating bacon? I mean… so much?"
Emily turned to see Mike and he shook his head. The yellow ranger gulped and said "I… I miss bacon. Two years living in the Shiba House made me to miss bacon"
"And I guess Mike's the responsible for that" Antonio chuckled
Mike frowned "Why me?"
"You're the rebel one" Antonio shrugged "You transformed our little Emily"
"I didn't do anything!" Mike chuckled "She was the one who transformed me"
"In a soft man" Kevin laughed.
The green ranger shook his head and was about to say something but Jayden interrupted him
"Guys, not now. We better should continue our way" then he turned to Emily " Em, better?"
"Yes" The yellow samurai nodded. She got up and walked by the hand with Mike.
As they got close to the City, the anxious was on the top.
