Author's Note: I DO NOT own Power Rangers that credit goes to the Gods of Saban but this story is mine, I just borrowed their characters (and the main story line) and added some of my own thoughts to it.

-The Pink Dino Gem

Chapter Four

After school was over, Steven met up with Devin and Cassidy. "Hey guys," said Steven. "Hey Steven," said Devin. "So what's your plan of action for Erica?" asked Devin. Steven sighed, "Honestly man I have no idea." "Wait a minute," said Cassidy. "You're here asking Devin for girl advice?" Both Devin and Steven looked at Cassidy. "Ummm….yeah" said Steven. Cassidy scoffed, "No offense Dev, but that like asking Devin for help with physics,"

"Cass, I got a 95 in physics last term," said Devin. "Dev, not now," said Cassidy. "Look Steven, why don't you try complimenting her, you know try flirting with her, telling her how beautiful she is, and so on." "I don't know Cassidy…."murmured Steven. "She doesn't seem like that type of girl." "Oh, don't worry," said Cassidy. "Look there she is now." Cassidy, Devin, and Steven saw Erica lying down on the grass. "Well," said Cassidy, "go get her." Steven froze for a second, "Right, okay, let's do this," Steven said as he slowly walked up to Erica. "Wow," said Devin, thanks for the help Cass, I wasn't really sure how to help him" "Are you kidding," said Cassidy, "We have too much stuff to do today and we don't need him slowing us down, onward to the television studio." "Oh, right," said Devin as he followed Cassidy.

Erica was still fazed by the glowing rock, which she put back into her pocket. Okay, its' just an ordinary rock…no it isn't…I've never seen a rock like that…it could be radioactive or something. Erica scratched her head. Ugggh….I'm a dino person, not a rock person. Erica turned her head to see some guy walk to her. "Ummm hi baby, what's up," said the guy. "Excuse me," Erica said. "I knew it," thought Steven. "Just hi," the guy corrected himself. "Hi,' said Erica. Maybe this rock attracts weird guys, thought Erica. "You don't remember me," said the guy. "Nope," said Erica. "I've been busy watching some guy today, so I don't have time watching other guys, badly flirting at that, today." Erica looked at the guy, he looked like he's about to cry. There's another guy, it's only her first day and she's already found a guy, thought Steven. "No man," said Erica. "I wasn't clear." Why am I making myself clear for this guy? "It's my brother, he….seemed sick today, and the whole twin power thing; I wanted to make sure he was okay." Steven calmed down. "Oh," said Steven.

"You know," said Erica. 'This is kinda a weird conversation to having between two people who don't know each other." "Ack….," blurted out. "Sorry….I remember you because we have Paleontology and Advance Art together, I'm sorry, but it's kinda hard to forget a girl who can remember the history of a dinosaur picture." Erica blushed. "I'm Erica," she said. "I'm Steven," he said. "So now we acquainted and all can we talk?" "About what," said Erica. "Well, why are you on the grass, lying down. After getting introduced to this school by Randall, most kids run home," said Steven. Erica sigh, I don't think it's best to mention the glowing rock. "I cramped up today," said Erica. "What?" said Steven, "you cramped…." "Ummm," said Erica, "I haven't practiced my workout since I came to Reefside, and now my mind is sending my body messages, you need to exercise, and all that." "Oh…okay," murmured Steven. "Do you know anywhere isolated I can do a couple of martial art forms without being watched?' asked Erica. Steven thought for a few seconds, "Ummm there's this construction site near Hayley's Cyberspace. You can practice there, right?" "A construction site, perfect," said Erica. "Wait how far away is this place?" "No problem," said Steven. "I got a car and I can take you, I was on my way to the Cyberspace anyway." "Thank you," said Erica as she got up and followed Steven to his car.

At Hayley's Cyberspace….

"I can't believe Trent went and quit on me," said Hayley as she was talking to Conner, Ethan, and Kira, while she was making smoothies. "Have you seen Trent?" said Conner. "Trent's been looking pale over the last couple of days." "Couldn't that be because of his sister?" said Ethan. "Didn't Erica say something about being with a paleontologist over the last few years, she's only here to get into some college," said Kira. "Smithfield only accepts 500 students a year, and the graduating class is about half that," said Hayley. "Dr. Oliver was one of the last students accepted for his year." "And you," said Conner. "Didn't you meet Dr.O in college?" "Smithfield was in the same town as my college," said Hayley. "I really wasn't that interested in dinosaurs until I met Tommy." Just then Trent walked in the door. "Speaking of Trent," said Hayley as she took a tray full of drinks away. Conner, Ethan, and Kira turned around to face him. "Hey guys," said Trent, he was still pale. "Hey man," said Ethan. "Hayley misses you." "Are you really going to keep bugging me about that," said Trent. "Kira, I was wondering if I can talk to you outside." "Yeah, sure," said Kira, "About what?" "Just please," said Trent. "It's personnel." "Alright, no problem, I'll see you guys later, ok?" said Kira. "No problem," said Conner, "Have fun." Trent and Kira left the Cyberspace, Trent kept looking around. "What's wrong?" said Kira. "I want to tell you something, but I don't want to tell you here," said Trent scanning the area until he saw a construction site a few blocks over. "C'mon," said Trent as he started walking towards the site.

When Trent and Kira made it to the construction site, Trent continued to scan the area. "Trent, what's going on, I'm sure whatever it is you want to tell me, a bunch of construction workers aren't going to care," said Kira. After Trent was done scanning, he looked at Kira. Okay, Trent thought, where do I begin? "Okay," said Trent. "I was talking to Erica today. And Erica suggested that I need to come clean with you about everything if this relationship was…going somewhere." "Trent," said Kira blushing. "It's just that, you've been different over the past few days, I'm not here to judge, whatever it is you can tell me. I just want to just make sure you're okay," said Kira. "I promise whatever happens, I won't run." Trent stared at the ground. "I'm…." Trent started when the White Dino Gem started acting up. "No," said Trent as he fell on his knees. Not now…I was so close. "Trent are you okay?" exclaimed Kira. "What's wrong, Trent. What's going on?" Trent started breathing heavily as he struggled to get up on his feet. Trent grabbed Kira. "Run….," said Trent. Kira looked at Trent, "Trent I'm not leaving, what's going on?" The White Dino Gem started glowing and Trent morphed into the White Ranger.
