Recovery Time Part 2, - Spring Break

Normal POV

Tracy is happy to have the walking cast on her ankle. She walks into the kitchen. The only problem she feels like crud. She has a headache and feels really tired and her throat been sore for the past four days. She woke up around four a.m. because she felt nauseous.

"Good morning, Tracy," Aaleahya says.

"Good morning, Mrs. Andrews," Tracy says in a raspy tone.

"Tracy, honey, please call me Aaleahya, besides, Mrs. Andrews is my mother," Aaleahya says.

"My wife is right. You can call me Galen." Galen says.

"Got it. What's for breakfast?" Tracy asks in a raspy tone.

"Scrambled eggs and sausage," Aaleahya says.

"Sounds good," Tracy says in the same tone.

"Tracy, are you feeling okay this morning?" Galen asks.

"Yes, I'm fine. My throat is dry from sleeping in air conditioning all night that's all." Tracy answers in with her raspy voice.

Aaleahya walks over to her and places her right hand on Tracy's forehead.

"Tracy, sweetie, you're burning up," Aaleahya says.

She takes her hand away. Galen walks over and notices Tracy's face is red and the swollen lymph nodes on her neck. Galen tells her he is going to go get the thermometer and she should go to the living room to sit down. Tracy nods and leaves the room.

Tracy sits down on the couch and waits for Galen to come back. Tracy is mad because she has plans for spring break. Getting sick and staying in bed wasn't on the list. A few minutes he comes in with the thermometer in one hand and his doctor bag in the other.

"Is that the new one where you swipe across my forehead?" Tracy asks.

He nods and slides it across her forehead. A few seconds later it beeps and reads 102. Galen asks her if he can take a look at her throat. She nods. Galen takes a tongue depressor out of his bag. Tracy opens her mouth, he sets it on her tongue and sees her swollen tonsils and her red throat.

"I think we should go to our family doctor." He says.

Tracy nods reluctantly and they leave to go to the doctor.

Galen's POV

Tracy and I walk into the office. After Tracy signs in and does the paperwork, she gives it back to the receptionist. She walks back to her seat and sits down. The nurse calls us back to see the doctor a few minutes later. We walk into the exam room and she sits down on the exam table.

"Hello Tracy, I'm Doctor Burroughs. How are you feeling today?" Dr. Burroughs asks.

"Fine" She answers.

Dr. Burroughs does an exam and notices the same thing I did. He tells Tracy that he is going to run a few tests to find out what is wrong. Tracy nods and lets him do his job.

He leaves the room. I look over at Tracy and notice that she is struggling to keep her eyes open. I know all that Tracy's body wants her to do is rest. We wait seven minutes until Dr. Burroughs comes back with the results.

"I have good news and bad news." He says.

"What's the good news?" I ask.

"The test came back negative for strep throat," Dr. Burroughs answers.

"So what's the bad news?" Tracy asks.

"You have a really bad throat infection. The treatment I suggest is fever control, hydration and t this antibiotic for a few days " Dr. Burroughs answers.

He hands me the prescription slip for Tracy's antibiotic. We leave the room and head out to the car.

Tracy's POV

A few hours later I wake up in the guest room and still feel horrible. I sit up in the bed. Mike walks in with a glass of juice. He sets the glass on the end table. I scoot over so he can sit down next to me.

"Hey angel, how are you feeling?" he asks.

"I've been better and I'm sorry that we didn't get to go do everything that we planned." I apologize.

"It's okay angel everyone gets sick." he says.

"Well, at least one of us is going to have fun this week," I say.

"Hey, if you can't leave the house this week I won't leave either." He says.

"Mike, you really don't have to do that. You know that right?" I ask.

He says that he wants to. He leans in and kisses me on the forehead. He back away and leans up against the headboard. I move over to sit down on his lap.

"Have I told you that you're the sweetest guy ever?" I ask.

"Yes," he says.

I chuckle a little. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me in closer. We stay like that for a few minutes. I finish the glass of juice and put it back on the end table. I set my head on his chest and let out a yawn. A few seconds later I fall back to sleep.

Galen's POV

It is time to give Tracy another dose of her medicine so I walk to the guest room. I see my wife standing in the doorway. She has a smile on her face. I look in the room and see my son and Tracy fast asleep in each other's arm.

"I really don't want to wake her up, but she needs to take her medicine," I say.

"Yeah, I know sweetie, but this is so cute," she says.

"I know sweetie, but I'm pretty sure that Tracy wants to get better as quickly as possible," I say.

I walk into the room and go over to the bed. I shake Tracy gently to wake her up. She lets out a low sick moan as she wakes up.

"Did you have to wake me up, Mr. Andrews?" Tracy asks.

"Yes, honey, I know you want to rest, but it's time for another dose of medicine," I say.

Tracy moans again and I pour some medicine into the teaspoon. I watch her face fold in half as she swallows the medicine. I set medicine on the end table and pick up the thermometer. I place it on her forehead. It beeps a few seconds later. It reads 101.

"That's good, " I say.

"What is?" she asks.

"Your fever is going down," I say.

"That's good, I guess. Does Mike have to leave?" she asks.

"No, he can stay," I answer.

I see a small smile come to her face. Then she falls back to sleep again.

Normal POV

Three days later Tracy wakes up and is feeling better than she did at the beginning of the week. She turns her head and sees Mike still fast asleep. She smiles and slowly gets out of his arms. She walks out of the room and heads to the kitchen.

"Good morning Aaleahya, Galen," Tracy says.

Galen walks over to her and places his hand on her forehead.

"Your fever is gone, that's great," Galen says.

"Is okay if I go outside?" Tracy asks.

"I don't see why not. Just take it easy for the next few days." Galen answers.

"I guess I can handle that," she says.

A few minutes later Mike walks in the room.

"Good Morning, Mike," Aaleahya says.

"Morning, mom," Mike says.

Tracy and Mike sit down at the table and eat breakfast. After breakfast, they go change and head out to the forest to take a hike together. While they are walking, Mike spots a strange-looking green glowing rock on the ground.

"Hey Tracy, that rock looks like the one on your bracelet," Mike says.

"Yeah, that's pretty crazy isn't it?" Tracy asks.

"So, what is it?" Mike asks.

Tracy is going to tell him what he found, but Elsa shows up.

"Hello pink ranger, how about you tell your boyfriend to hand over that Dino gem," Elsa says.

"Tracy, what is this woman talking about? What is a Dino gem? Wait, you're a power ranger?" Mike asks.

"I don't know Mike I've never met her before. Come on Mike, me a power ranger.? I don't have what it takes. We need to get out of here," Tracy answers.

She tells him that they need to leave. They try to run away, but Elsa calls for some t-drones. They charge towards them. Tracy wants to use her Dino power to help them get away, but she knows she can't do it. A few seconds she sees several laser blasts hit the t-drones. Dr. Oliver walks over to them.

"You two need to get to safety." He says.

"You don't have to tell me twice," Mike says.

He and Tracy duck behind some trees. They watch the rangers battle Elsa.

"Tracy, can you please tell me what is going on?" Mike asks.

"Mike, I would love to. I don't think you'll believe me if I told you." Tracy answers.

"Tracy, trust me, I'm very open-minded. I can handle it." Mike says.

Tracy takes a deep breath and takes a few steps back from him. Then her bracelet turns into her morpher and she morphs into the pink ranger.

"Whoa, you are a power ranger," Mike says.

"Yes, and you'll be one too soon," Tracy says.

"You mean I'll get to save the city from evil?" He asks.

Tracy nods. Then the other rangers come over to them. The Rangers demorph and stand in front of Mike.

"I can't believe that Conner is the red ranger. Mike says.

"Yeah, I was shocked too," Tracy says.

"Hey," Conner snaps.

"Come on guys, we all need to go back to the lab." Dr. Oliver says.

~~~~~~

The two teenagers nod and everyone starts back to the lab. Tracy walks down the stairs and sits down on a chair next to the computer.

"So, this is the command center?" Mike asks.

"Yup," Tracy answers.

"So, why did that woman want this rock?" he asks.

"That rock is a Dino gem and it will give you super powers." Tracy answers.

"Tracy, are you serious? What super power did you guys get?" Mike asks.

"Super speed," Conner answers.

"Invisibility," Dr. Oliver answers.

"Camouflage powers," Trent answers.

"Mine is Tricera Armor," Ethan answers.

"Mine is Ptera Scream," Kira answers.

"What did you get Tracy?" Mike asks.

"I got stuck with super strength," Tracy answers.

"I think that's pretty cool, angel," Mike says.

"Thanks," she says.

"When do I get my power?" He asks.

"Soon," Dr. Oliver says.

"I guess that I'm the green ranger since the gem is green," Mike says.

"Mike, can I see you gem for a second." Dr. Oliver says.

Mike gives the green gem to Dr. Oliver. Then Dr. Oliver picks up another morpher and the gem melts into it.

"What kind of dinosaur is that anyway?" Conner asks.

"Is a Troodon," Tracy answers.

"How do you know that?" Conner asks.

"I pay attention in class. Conner, don't take this the wrong way, but why do you even bother coming to school." Tracy answers.

"Wait, didn't scientists believe that the Troodon was the smartest of all the dinosaurs?" Mike says.

"Yeah, that's what the reports say." Dr. Oliver says.

"The Troodon's brain was very large compared to its body." Tracy answers.

"OK, so my Dino power is super intelligence?" Mike asks.

"Maybe, but you know, Mike, some girls like smart guys," Tracy says.

"OK, whatever you say, angel," Mike says.

The rangers just watch as Mike and Tracy continue to flirt with each other.

I hope those two are able to keep it together on the field once Mike becomes a ranger. Dr. Oliver thought.
