Tengen Gate Visit
Tracy's POV
I walk into the hospital and go to my brother's room. I step inside and see Chris lying in his bed. He is connected to a ventilator and a few other pieces of medical equipment used to track his vitals. A few seconds later, a doctor walks in and starts disconnecting everything.
"Why are you doing that? Are you going to start to wean him off the medicine?"
"No, I'm afraid that your parents believe he isn't going to make it," the doctor says.
I sit up in my bed as tears roll down my cheeks.
Thank goodness it was only a dream.
I quietly get out of bed, pick my glasses up off the nightstand, put them on and go to the bathroom. After I finish drying my eyes, I head to the kitchen. I take a mug out of the cabinet and go over the fridge. I pour some milk into it and go over to the microwave. When it dings, I hope that it doesn't wake anyone else up. As I open the door, I carefully take out the mug, close the door and go over to the table. I sit down, take a sip of my warm milk and hope it will help me fall back asleep.
Fiacre's POV
I wake up and check on the triplets. I open their bedroom door as quietly as I can and smile, seeing them still fast asleep. I close the door and go to the kitchen. I walk into the room and see Tracy sleeping at the table. I walk over to her and gently shake her.
"Morning dad," Tracy says.
"You had a bad dream about your brother, didn't you?"
"Yes, the doctor said you and mom believe that Chris won't make it," Tracy says wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"Honey, I know you're stressed about having to take Chris's place. His injuries weren't life-threatening. The doctors only put him in the coma so he wouldn't be in pain while he recovers."
"Dad, are you going to make breakfast?" Tracy asks, "The last time you tried to make scrambled eggs they were a little crunchy. The only thing that is meant to be crunchy is peanut butter,"
"Honey, I'm not making breakfast. Ji said he would be making all the meals,"
"Got it, I'm going to change. I know the guardians don't want to see me in my pajamas," Tracy says, leaving the room.
Tracy's POV
After breakfast, Ashley and I head to the Tengen gate. Ji tolls us that Jayden would come too, so we have someone to guide us home, so we don't get lost. We are a few steps away from the entrance to the gate. When a Shiba Inu puppy limps up to me. It collapses in front of my feet. I kneel down and scoop it up. I notice several cuts covering its body and the poor thing looks exhausted too. Ashley starts to pet the top of the puppy's head gently and the puppy finds the strength to wag it's tail
"How did it find us?" Jayden asks.
"That's my fault Jayden. Stray or injured animals seem to know when I'm close by, but I have no clue why they come to me." I say, "Let's hope one of the guardians can help me treat her injuries."
We run up to the entrance and quickly bow before running inside. We go past the alter commemorating where the first samurai rangers battled the nighlock army. Ashley pulls me back by the arm to keep me from running into Daisuke.
"Hello, Tracy, what's the rush?" Daisuke asks.
"We have an emergency," I say holding up the puppy, "This little one found me, and she is in bad shape."
Daisuke asks one of the guardians to help me while he leads Jayden and Ashley to another room to gather the items Ashley came here to get. The Guardian and I walk into one of the rooms and I set the puppy down on the pillow.
"Could you bring me two bowls of water, a towel and some bandages?" I say, "Are there any Calendula flowers growing the garden?"
"Yes, we do, I can have someone bring them to you while I go gather the other items you need," the Guardian says.
"That would be great, thank you."
"How did you know that Calendula flowers would be good to use on the puppy's injuries?" the Guardian asks.
"I worked a paid internship at a veterinarian hospital during my senior year of high school."
A few minutes later the guardians walks in with everything I need. I get to work . While I clean the puppy's injuries it doesn't even flinch once. After all the cuts are clean, I mash up the Calendula flowers into a paste and put it onto some gauze. I ask one of the guardians to hold it in place over the cut on the puppy's front leg while I wrap a bandage around it. We repeat this process till all the cuts are bandaged.
Ashley's POV
Daisuke shows Jayden and me around before we sit down in a different room. He hands me a wooden box. I open it and see a crane with the time kanji on it wings, along with a white spin disk and a gold cell phone.
"So, my morpher looks like an old flip phone from the nineties?"
"Yes, but it also has a calligraphy brush inside," Daisuke says.
I put my morpher and spin disc into my pocket. My zord stands up and flies over to me. It lands on my right shoulder. We start to leave as Tracy walks in carrying the puppy in her arms.
"Well, Doctor Burlew, how is the patient?" I joke.
"Very funny Ash, I'm not a veterinarian yet. This little girl is tough. She didn't flinch or put up a fight while I was bandaging her up." Tracy says.
"I really think we should name her,"
"If we name her we'll get attached to her. Then it will be harder to give her away when we take her to the animal shelter so they can help her find a forever home," Tracy says.
"I think we should wait till she is healed before we take her to the shelter. We don't want the people in charge to get the wrong impression of us," Jayden adds.
"Okay, we'll name her," Tracy sighs, "But, when we bring her back to the house, you two are going to have to deal with hearing Angela, Amelia and Aaron begging dad if she can come home with them when they leave."
"So what are you going to call her?' Daisuke asks.
"Tracy, you were the one that the puppy chose to help her, so I think it's only fair that you name her," Ashley says.
"I agree," Jayden says.
"Okay, how about we call her Luna," Tracy says.
The puppy starts to wag her tail and lets out a happy bark.
"I think that means she likes it."
"Okay, Luna, let's head back to the Shiba house," Tracy says.
