A/N: Sorry I haven't written anything. I hate school and my new professor is kind of an asshole. Just because you can confuse me easily doesn't mean you get to look down on me like I am an idiot. He wears socks with sandals and I don't look down on him. My friend and I just make fun of him behind his back. Anyway, I will admit I haven't watched any recent episodes of the Power Rangers. I really can't stand the gold ranger. He is really annoying. I want to also thank everyone for the reviews and support, it really means a lot to me. Thanks guys and gals! I also have another Power Rangers story in the works do please stay tuned for that.

Chapter Four: The Call

The Samurai rangers were finally granted a day off and they took full advantage of it. Luckily for them the sun was out and there was a nice breeze blowing.

Mike was the first one the appear. He was laughing as he ran ahead of the others. Kevin and Mia followed behind him. They were laughing softly at Mike as they smiled at each other.

The Red and Yellow rangers weren't far behind them. They walked in compatible silence. Jayden looked down at his yellow teammate as she stared down at the ground. She had been quiet these past few days. However, she would usually be bubbly and bouncy.

He could see it now. Her blonde curls bouncing as she would run up to him. She would tell him to come and enjoy the day. He could train later. He along with the rest of the rangers deserved to have fun. Then he would smile as she grabbed his hand and dragged him off.

However, she was just staring at the sidewalk. Something was definitely wrong. He decided to find out what was up. He hoped Emily would be there for her when she needed it.

"Emily are you okay?" He asked her as he looked down at the girl beside him.

She looked up at him with a forced smile. "Oh yeah Jayden everything is good." She nodded her head and her batch of blonde curls flew all over the place.

"Jayden really I am fine." She ground out, hoping he would let the subject go. He thankfully did.

"Okay Emily, but if you need anyone to talk to I'm here." He gave her one final reassuring smile and ran ahead t the others. Emily just watched him go.

She figured Jayden would be the first to notice her mood change. He always picked up on stuff like that quickly. She always figured Mia would be the first one to pick up on stuff like that, but she was wrong.

Jayden was right though. There was something going on in her life. She hadn't heard from her sister in awhile. Serena would call her every week, but she hadn't heard from her in two weeks and she was beginning to feel like something was wrong.

She settled under a tree and pulled Serena's flute out of her bag. She put the instrument up to her lips and began to play. Sure, Serena was sick but she would get better. Maybe she was just overreacting, but something told her she was wrong.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the caller I.D and saw it was her mother.

"She'll clear things up and tell me what's up with Serena." She eagerly answered the phone and her heart dropped to the moment her mother spoke. She had gone from giddy to heartbroken in a matter of seconds.

"Mom what's wrong?" Emily asked as tears began to fill her eyes.

"Sweetie your sister passed away this morning." Emily couldn't stop the tears. A loud sob escaped her throat and her phone fell into her lap.

The loud sob alerted the others along with a few other people in the park something was wrong. Jayden dropped the Frisbee and he along with the others ran to Emily's side.

Jayden was the first to get there and she flung her arms around him and continued to sob. Kevin was the next one who was by her side and heard the voice of Emily's mother, so he grabbed her cell phone.

Mike and Mia watched him as he talked to her mother. He bit his lip and nodded his head. "Of course we will take good care of her and we will come with her to the funeral."

Kevin hung up the phone and walked over to Mia and Mike. "Her sister died this morning," Kevin spoke softly not wanting to upset Emily more. "The funeral will be in a few days."

He didn't say anything more as the three of them walked over to Jayden and Emily. Jayden had heard what Kevin had said and he was feeling helpless. He wanted to take her pain away. However, he couldn't save Emily from this and it killed him inside.

"We should get her home." Mike said softly as he helped Jayden get Emily into a standing position. The sobbing yellow ranger rested her head on the red ranger's shoulder as they made their way home.

Their mentor Ji had heard Emily's sobs as the five rangers made their way up the walkway. He held open the door as Jayden and Mike navigated Emily into the living room area. Then both boys tried to calm her down as she soaked Jayden's shirt.

"What's going on?" Ji asked Kevin and Mia. It didn't seem like Emily was hurt, but something had definitely gotten to the yellow ranger.

"Her sister passed away this morning," Kevin answered his question with no emotion in his voice. "She got the call while we were in the park. Her mom asked us to come with her to the funeral."

"Of course we will go then we will go and be there for her," He looked over at Emily with a look of concern on his face. "She needs us."

Jayden smiled at the sound of Emily's soft even breathing. She had cried herself to sleep about an hour ago and he was afraid to move her. He was afraid he would wake her up and she would remember. Her sobs had been painful to hear.

He watched Ji walk into the room and sit across from him. "You gonna put her in her bed Jayden?" Ji asked softly, trying not to wake the girl.

Jayden shook his head no. "I can't do it Ji. I don't want to wake her up."

Ji knew Emily's pain was getting to Jayden. He knew the red ranger wanted to make all the yellow ranger's pain go away. He felt for Jayden that's why he made this certain call. "Let her sleep here then and stay with her." He figured Jayden didn't want to moving fearing he would wake her up.

"Okay Ji." Jayden slowly closed his blue eyes and drifted off to dreamland next to his hazel-eyed companion.

Ji threw a couple blankets over the rangers and turned out the light.

The days leading up to the funeral were tough, but Emily had to get through them, not only for herself, but for her family and friends as well.

The others had been a great comfort to her, especially Jayden. He would let her cry on him and use him as a pillow. She was also happy they would be coming to the funeral. She needed her support system with her.

The day of the funeral they got up early and made their way out to Emily's house in the country. As they hit the dirt road leading up to her house that was the first time she began to cry that morning.

Her parents welcomed them all into the house and it didn't take long for her to lay into them. Her grief was turning into anger.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked slowly. She didn't want to scream at them. "I could have come."

"She asked us not to." Her father answered. He knew his little girl was angry and she had every right to be. Her and Serena were close. He knew Emily would have come no questions asked.

There was another knock at the door and the conversation was over. She knew why Serena hadn't wanted her to come. It was because she was off being a power ranger and didn't want her to worry. Serena was suppose to be the yellow ranger, but she had gotten sick. Emily knew what she had to do.

The funeral was short just like Serena would have liked it. She had never really liked people fussing over her. The graveside service concluded and everyone began to walk away, except Emily. She stayed beside her sister's white coffin. She had a few things to say before she left.

"Serena, I miss you so much and don't worry about me up there I will be okay," She ran her hand over the smooth surface of her sister's coffin "And I will be the best ranger who ever lived and I will do it all for you. Goodbye and I love you." She placed a kiss on the coffin and walked over to the others.

"Are you okay?" Jayden asked as the coffin began it's journey into the ground." Emily nodded. "I will be. I just need time."

She linked arms with the others and they headed back home.

The day after the funeral was a Friday and it was hard. She was thankful a monster hadn't attacked. She just didn't let it show. However, a monster did attack the next day and everyone thought she should stay behind because she was in mourning. She turned and faced the one person who held the power. She stared him down and he broke.

He knew Emily would pull through. Plus they needed her, they were a team after all. He hadn't even factored in the whole megazord thing, but if she hadn't come he knew they would figure out a way around it. He needed her and the other three there with him.

"Let's go guys." He smiled down at her and they all ran out the door.

Jayden was glad he had made that call. He was sure Serena was smiling down at Emily from Heaven
