Tracy's Singing Issues Part 1- Voice Cracking

Normal POV

The next morning the Rangers arrive at school and head to their lockers. Tracy is happy that her Ranger powers will be back soon. She is disappointed that her Dino Gem powers haven't returned to full strength yet. She tried to test them before school and wasn't even able pick up one of the bookshelves in Dr. Oliver's living room. As she finishes putting her things away, Tracy seesfrom the corner of her eye Amber walk up. Tracy turns around after closing her locker door and gathering her things for homeroom.

"Hey, Amber, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you have any idea when I'll get a chance to morph?" Amber asks.

Tracy feels her heart nearly leap out of her chest as she sees Cassidy and Devin turn the corner. She quickly covers Amber's mouth with her left hand as they walk up to them.

"Why would Amber be asking you about when she is going to morph?" Cassidy asks.

"Because she was asking me if I have even seen that bit from Animaniacs where they do a parody of The Power Rangers," Tracy answers.

"Oh, Super Strong Warner Siblings, I loved that bit," Devin says.

Tracy happily cheers inside her head when she sees the rest of her friends walk up.

"Yeah, I loved Animaniacs, the Bumbie's mom one a good one too," Ethan says.

"I always like the 'Good Idea, Bad Idea" bits," Conner adds.

"I enjoyed this trip down nostalgia lane, but we really should get to class before we're all late," Devin says.

Tracy takes her hands away from Amber's mouth after she sees Devin lead Cassidy away from the group where they are far enough down the hall where they can't hear them anymore. Then Tracy lets a long sigh of relief.

"What was that for?" Amber asks.

"We have to keep our 'after school club' a secret from the rest of the school, remember?" Tracy answers.

"I'm sorry, Trac, I'm just excited," Amber apologizes.

"It's fine.Just keep your voice down. I don't want to be a part of another news story for the school, alright?" Tracy says.

Amber nods and the group heads to class. Before Dr. Oliver starts his lecture, Conner and the others ask Tracy if she has received any real acceptance letters from the schools she had applied to before she moved Reefside. She tells them that she got into Michigan State. The school is offering her a full ride scholarship for her first year of class and a softball scholarship too.

"Tracy, that's great," Trent says.

"Yeah, congrats," Ethan adds.

"So have you decided what your major is going to be?" Kira asks.

"Music Education," Tracy answers.

"Sounds like a good choice to me," Kira says.

Tracy's POV

I couldn't focus in Dr. Oiver's class today because I wasn't sure if Mike even remembers that he is supposed to fight alongside us to defeat Mesogog. Kira and I walk into Miss May's class. She asks me to sing first today, and I'm a little nervous. The last time I sang a G note my voice cracked. I walk over to Miss May's laptop and plug in my IPod. I pick "Somewhere Out There." When I get to the end where the high note is, I start to sing.  My voice cracks, so Miss May stops the song and walks over to me. She hands me my Ipod and slowly put it back in my pocket.

"I think you should sit out the rest of class today. I'd hate for you to damage your vocal cords,"

I nod and walk back to my seat. Kira looks over at me and asks, "Do you know why your voice just cracked?"

"No, but I hope there isn't something seriously wrong with my voice,"

"Me too," Kira says.

The rest of music class flies by, and I hear the bell ring. Kira and I leave to go to our lockers. I 'm nervous about going to the doctor's since I'm still on the fence about knowing what is wrong with my voice. For the rest of the school day the only thing on my mind is, "am I ever going to be able to sing again?" I text my parents during lunch and mom replies that she is able to schedule an appointment with my doctor at five. I need to drive myself there, and they'd meet me to give me some support.  I arrive and walk into the waiting room and sit down in one of the chairs to wait for my parents to show up. One of the nurses walks up to me, and she says, "Tracy after your mother called and explained what happened to your doctor, he suggested that you see our ENT physician."

The nurse walks back to her desk. I look to my left to see my parents walk in. They sit down next to me and we wait for the doctor to come out. Twenty minutes later we leave the doctor's office. It turns out I have nodules on my vocal cords. I'm glad that I didn't need surgery to have them removed. The doctor sets me up with an appointment with a vocal therapist  who will teach me the proper techniques so the nodules I have now can heal properly and prevent any from returning in the future.

I promised Hayley that I'd sing at the cybercafe on Friday. I hope she won't be mad at me since I'm going to have to cancel.

 ​​​​I drive to the Cybercafe after telling my mom not to save me some dinner. I'll get a smoothie. I park my car and walk inside to see Kira rocking on stage with her band. I sit down at the bar and let out a long sigh. After the applause fades, I feel someone place their hand on my right shoulder. I jump and nearly fall off my stool.

"Sorry, Tracy, I didn't mean to scare you," Dr. Oliver says.

"It's okay, Dr. O."

"So Kira told me what happened in music class today, so what did the doctor say?" Dr. Oliver asks.

"I have nodules on my vocal cords. I'm sorry Hayley. I'm going to have to cancel my performance on Friday,"

"It's okay, Tracy. I would hate it if you lose your voice or damage it from performing here on Friday. Just focus on your recovery for now," Hayley says.

"Thank you, Hayley," I say, trying to smile.
