A/N: here's the third chapter. Enjoy. There's a surprise at the end and we get more in depth with Casey.

Casey woke up and feeling a little bit disoriented and fell off his hammock.

"Okay what happened?" he asked himself. But then the memory came to him and he remembered. 'I seriously need to practice getting my tiger out without getting exhausted but how?' thought Casey. He still felt a bit weak but most of his strength had returned.

"Hey guys," greeted Casey.

"Hey Casey," everyone said. Lily wanted to get to know Casey.

"Sorry about passing out like that," apologized Casey. He was still timid towards Lily and Theo but it felt like he could trust them. He got himself a bowl of cereal and sat down.

"Um Casey I could teach you how to be not exhausted whenever you let your animal spirit," suggested Lily.

"You would teach me how to do that?" asked Casey.

"Of course I will." said Lily.

"Thanks."

"What are friends for" When Casey heard that he was shocked that Lily was even his friend. He had no one only RJ would be his friend. But now he had Theo and Lily as friends. He finished his cereal and went to get changed into his training gear on.

What he didn't know was that Lily saw his back when she was going to tell him they could start right when he got done changing. Lily was shocked that Casey had a big bruise on his back in the center. She went quickly back to the loft and saw RJ meditating.

"You saw something you weren't suppose to see," said RJ, with a knowing look.

"Um yeah how'd you know?" she asked RJ.

"Cause I saw the big bruise too," explained RJ, "but don't ask me or Casey how he got it . Casey won't tell you and I promised I wouldn't tell a soul."

"Don't worry I respect his privacy," said Lily. She was itching to know why Casey has a bruise on his back but she didn't want to intrude in his privacy. Casey was in his training gear and he saw the look on Lily's face and knew exactly what she saw.

"You saw the bruise didn't you?" asked Casey.

"Yes I did,"said Lily, "but I won't ask any questions."

"Thanks, so let's get to it."

They worked on meditating first and he done really well. Then after meditating they brought out their animal spirits out for about an 1 1/2 and Casey expected to feel tired but he didn't.

"Wow thanks Lily," said Casey. He liked her alot and wanted to be more than a friend but he wasn't sure if Lily felt the same way about him.


"Alright dude and dudette, in order to defeat me you'll have to be in complete harmony with your animal spirits," said RJ while wearing ablindfold.

"Come on Lily we can take him."

"Are you sure?" asked Lily, "I don't want damage your mental physical Zen."

"Oh you won't I'm using the swoop technique, eye sight is just a bonus," RJ assured Lily, "now hit me with your best shot." RJ kept blocking their hits. Casey and Lily were trying to hit him but no such luck. Then RJ threw Casey and he landed on RJ's favorite chair. Lily was distracted by that so RJ did a sneak attack.

"You were distracted and defeated," said RJ, "remember guys the enemy is merciless. You have to be graceful like-" RJ trips on the mat and falls down face first then gets up, "me. Alright that's all for now." Casey stayed by RJ and RJ wanted Casey to go with Lily cause he knew Casey really liked Lily.

"RJ you gotta train me," said Casey.

"I just did," said RJ, "now I'm on break."

"No RJ you got to teach me more stuff" said Casey, "and I know that you know that I really like Lily."

"Fine I'll teach you but you'll have to do everything I say" said RJ.

"Okay."

"Rub my shoulders."

"Right now."

"Yeah."

Casey went massage RJ's shoulders. "Yeah that's a knot," gasped RJ, "you know Lily saw your big bruise on your back but I didn't say anything about your past and she didn't say anything else."

"She has to know about my past and so does Theo," sighed Casey, "but I'm not ready to tell them yet, but eventually I have to." "Casey I'm here for you all the way," assured RJ.

"I know you are," said Casey. The alarms were going off and the tv's showed Camille going out of the museum.

"Go it's the old museum heist," said RJ, "but be careful she's a feisty one."


"Don't worry Casey," said Theo, "she's slippery, slimy, sssssss-"

"Smelly," suggested Lily.

"Thank you."

"I think you broke chair," stated RJ.

"Forget the chair, I need more training," argued Casey.

"Whatever I say remember," clarified RJ. Casey just grumbled and grabbed the screwdriver out of RJ's hand and he flipped RJ's chair upside down and started to fix the chair.


"Theo there's something I got to tell you and you can't mention it to Casey," said Lily.

"What is it?" asked Theo.

"I saw a big bruise on Casey's back and it's in the middle of his back," said Lily. "What!" exclaimed Theo.

"Theo keep quiet," warned Lily.

"Sorry," whispered Theo.

"Let's check on Fran," said Lily.

Fran wasn't having any luck with the kids. They weren't listening to her but she kept at it and she was waiting for some help, she was hoping it would be soon.


Casey was just finishing up the chair and was thinking of telling Theo and Lily about his past. He knew that Theo and Lily were his friends so they deserved to know, right? But for some reason he couldn't tell them cause he was scared of how they'll react.

"I'm done with the chair RJ," announced Casey, "now will you help me train."

"Yes, I will, but first Theo and Lily will try to figure out your past and that's why you have to tell them the truth about your past before they jump to conclusions about me hitting you and not your father," explained RJ.

"I know," sighed Casey.

"Now wash my yoga mat," said RJ, "I think something's growing on it." He threw the mat to Casey who sniffed it and made a disgusted look. Casey went to grab a bucket filled it with water and soap. He began washing the reaky yoga mat.


Downstairs Theo and Lily saw that there was a kid's birthday party and they didn't want to be with Fran. They saw Fran get squirted with juice on her face. The place was a mess. Meanwhile upstairs Casey twisting and squeezing the yoga mat. "Make sure you give it a good shake," said RJ. Casey did and the alarms were going.

"I'm wasting time RJ" Casey yelled angrily, throwing down the mat and clenching his fists.


When Casey was done facing bufalord he was still angry. Lily and Theo saw Casey angry for the first time that they approached him carefully, they got to close and he accidentally sent them flying into the air and down to the ground.

"Casey what's your deal?," asked Theo.

"Nothing just stay away from me," Casey said angrily. Casey ran off and disappeared.

"What was that about?" asked Lily.

"RJ might know," said Theo.

"Hey RJ, what's with Casey?" asked Theo.

"I don't know," said RJ, "but it has something to do with his past."

"What do you mean RJ?" asked Lily.

"I can't tell you guys."

"Why not?" asked Theo.

"Because I promised Casey I wouldn't tell a soul," said RJ keeping his promise to Casey. After thirty minutes went by Casey came back in a better mood than before.

"I'm sorry that I sent you guys flying to the ground," apologized Casey.

"It's ok," said Lily.

"Casey wash the floor please," RJ asked nicely.

"Fine."

While Casey was cleaning the floor Lily and Theo were helping Fran pick up the mess that the birthday party kids made.

"Sorry we didn't help you," said Theo and Lily together.

"That's okay," sighed Fran, "I needed some crash course training anyway." When they were done Lily and Theo heard screaming and they knew that Bufordwas attacking the city again. They ran up to get Casey but noticed that he was washing the floor.

"And they call me a neat freak," said Theo.

"You are a neat freak, Theo," said Lily,

"Come on Casey."

"No Casey has to finish washing the floor," replied RJ.

"But RJ they'll be destroyed if I don't go with them."

"Then they'll be destroyed."

After ten minutes Casey was really mad at RJ. So he threw the rag down and said,

"This is pointless. Lily and Theo need my help and I'm washing the floor. I asked you to train me."

"I have."

"By fixing your chair." RJ threw a punch and Casey caught his punch by doing the the screwdriver move and when RJ did the last two Casey knew what to do to the defeat bufalord monster. The jungle fury rangers finally defeated the monster but Casey was still mad at RJ.

"You could have told me to just-"

"No Casey it wouldn't have mattered," said RJ. Then out of nowhere Casey pushed RJ hard and RJ fell to the ground hard on his back. "Casey what's wrong?"

"No one knows how I feel and I can't take it anymore," Casey exclaimed angrily clenching his fists, "and I can't hold it in any longer." Casey knew he needed help cause he didn't want to be like his real father. " I need help."

"Alright I'll call someone I promise," said RJ.
