Normal POV

The next day at school Tracy is at her locker putting her things away. A few seconds later Amber and Kira dash up to her. Tracy turns around to face her friends.

"How did your date go with Mike?" Kira asks.

"Yeah, tell us everything," Amber adds.

"Sorry guys, I don't kiss and tell," Tracy says.

"You kissed - please tell," Amber begs.

Tracy shakes her head and turns back around to put her jacket away (it was the same jacket Mike let her keep.) She tells all the details of the date to her locker. She finishes a few seconds later. She takes out her science book and quickly closes her locker to keep everything for being heard by anyone else. Amber and Kira smile as they overhear everything that Tracy said into her locker. Then Tracy turns back around to face her friends again.

"Like I said, I'm not saying a thing," Tracy says.

Then the girl's head to their first class. Tracy and Kira walk into Dr. Oliver's science class. Tracy sits down next to Mike and Kira sits down with Ethan and the others. After Dr. Oliver takes attendance, he turns on the TV for the morning news report.

"Good morning Reefside High, this is Cassidy Cornel with a special report," Cassidy announces.

I hope she doesn't mean what I think she means. Tracy thinks.

Then Cassidy signals to Devon to play the video. The video is of Tracy and Mike's date last night. They were at the Mexican restaurant dancing to the mariachi band. A few minutes later the video ends and Tracy suddenly wishes that she had Trent's or even Dr. Oliver's dino power.

"It looks like Reefside High has a new power couple, so wish Tracy Burlew and Mike Andrews good luck. That will be all." Cassidy says as she signs off.

The whole class (except for Kira and the gang) turns around in their seats to face Mike and Tracy. The room fills with chuckles and with jokes about what was on the video. Tracy is so embarrassed by the school seeing that video. After two minutes of hearing the jokes, Tracy can't take it anymore. She gets out of her seat quickly and runs out of the room with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"How did Cassidy even get that footage?" Ethan asks.

"I have a pretty good idea," Trent answers.

Trent looks over at Grant and he has a look of pure satisfaction on his face. Then he looks back towards his friends.

"Grant gave Cassidy the tape," Trent says.

"How can you be so sure?" Conner asks.

"Why else would he be so pleased with himself?" Trent answers.

"Point taken. But, how did he get the footage?" Ethan says.

"I heard the Jamar got a job at the restaurant that Mike and Tracy went to," Conner says.

"Well, that explains so much," Trent adds.

"Guys, I'm going to check Tracy," Kira says

She gets up from her seat and walks up to Dr. Oliver. She asks for a hall pass. He writes one for her and Tracy as well so Tracy won't get in trouble for being in the halls without one. He hands them to Kira. She walks out of the room. Dr. Oliver tells the class to settle down and to start reading chapter twenty in their books.

Kira's POV

I walk into the girl's bathroom. I see Tracy sitting in the far corner on the floor. She is still crying her eyes out. As the tears continue to roll off her cheeks, I watch them splash as they hit the floor. I slowly walk over to her and place my right hand on her shoulder. Tracy slowly starts to look up at me.

"Hey Kira, has the class stopped laughing at me yet?" Tracy asks.

"Yes," I answer.

"Good, but I can't go back into that room," Tracy says.

I help her to her feet then go into one of the stalls. I take a few squares and go back out. I hand her what was in my hand and she uses it to dry the tears from her eyes.

"Tracy, I know you're embarrassed, but you can't hide in here all day." I remind her.

"Relax Kira. I won't stay in here all day. I promise. I'll come out when class is over." she says.

"Ok, then you'll need this so you won't get a detention," I say.

I hand her the hall pass from my pocket. She thanks me for being a good friend to her during all this. I tell her I know she would do the same if I was in her place. Then I turn around and head back to class.

Normal POV

Ten minutes later Tracy hears the bell ring so she leaves the bathroom. She files through the hallway back to science class. She slowly enters the room and walks up to her friends. They are standing in the front of the room. Trent hands Tracy her books. She notices that Mike had made a copy of the notes from today's class for her.

"Hey Trent, could you do me a favor?" she asks.

"Sure what is it?" Trent answers.

"Can I borrow your dino power for the rest of the day?" she answers.

"Sorry Tracy, I would if I could, but dino powers don't work like that," Trent says.

"I was afraid you would say that." She says very disappointedly.

"Tracy, trust me by tomorrow everyone will have forgotten all about this," Dr. Oliver tells her.

"I know Dr. O but I'm still not a big fan of being the punchline of everyone's joke."She says.

Devon is at his locker and he opens his camera bag. He notices that the camera isn't there. He closes his locker and goes back into the classroom. He stands in the doorway. He notices that Conner isn't too happy and that Tracy is still very upset about the tape. Devon walks over to the group.

"Dude, why did you play that tape today?" Conner asks.

"I didn't know that was on the tape - honest," Devon answers.

"Don't you check the tapes beforehand?" he asks.

"Yes, but I was in a rush this morning. Cassidy wanted to get the broadcast as soon as possible." Devon replies.

"That's a pretty lame excuse dude." He says.

"I know Conner, but it's the truth. Tracy, I'm really sorry if it's any consolation I don't like it when anyone in the school gets embarrassed like that." Devon says.

"Apology accepted. Devon, has anyone told you that you're a really nice person?" Tracy says.

"All the time," Devon says.

"Well, I should get going while the halls are still crowded," Tracy says.

She turns around to leave the room. Devon puts the camera back in the bag and leaves the room as well.

Tracy's POV

Music and gym class went well. After the bell rang to signal the end of gym class I hated hearing that even more than usual. I walked to my locker to get my pre calculus book and everything I needed for class. I closed my locker and headed to class.

I walk into class and sit down at my desk. I take out my notebook and open it to a blank page to prepare to take notes for today's class (more like try my best to read the nine-point font on the board and copy it into my notebook). I look over at Mike and he gives me a reassuring smile. I crack a small smile back at him. A few seconds later the room fills with snickers and chuckles.

"Ok class, pop quiz." Mr. Johnson says.

The chuckles quickly turn into moans as he hands out the quizzes. I take out my calculator. The quiz isn't as bad as I thought it would be so I'm pretty confident that I did well. After Mr. Johnson collects the quizzes he starts today's lesson about the law of cosines. Fifteen minutes later Mr. Johnson finishes his lesson and tells the class their homework assignment. The bell rings ten minutes later and I quickly gather my things and power walk out of the room.

English class goes the same way that pre calculus did. A joke spreads around the room, a pop quiz is given, and then we read the next few acts of Romeo and Juliet. I'm so happy when last bell rang. I make sure I'm the first one out of the classroom. I file through the halls as quickly as I can without tripping over my feet or anyone else's for that matter. I finally get to my locker two minutes later.

I open it and put my books away and take my jacket. I put it on and I take out my book bag. I just finished packing my book bag. I notice my friends coming up from the corner of my eye so I close my locker. I put my bag on my back and turn around to face them.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I ask.

"Nothing really. We just wanted to make sure that you survived the school day." Conner answers.

"As you can see, I'm still standing here. Yes, Conner I survived the worst day of school ever." I say.

"I have some good news." Amber says.

"We have softball practice today." I answer.

"No sorry. How about we head to the cybercafé? I'll buy you a smoothie - my treat." Amber says.

"Maybe later, I was thinking about heading to the batting cages." I say.

"Sorry, you can't do that either. The batting cages have turned into bird baths because of all the rain we've had the past few weeks." Amber says.

"You mean they still haven't drained yet?" Ethan asks.

"I know they really need to invest in a new drainage system." Amber says.

"I guess we are heading to the cybercafé after all?" she asks.

I nod. We head out to the parking lot. Ethan rides with Conner in his car. Amber, Kira and Trent ride along with me in my car.

Hayley's POV

I finished wiping down the bar and put the rag away. I notice Kira and the gang enter the café.

"Hey guys, how was school today?" I ask.

"It was the worst day of school ever." Tracy answers.

"Come on Tracy, it couldn't have been that bad. Don't you think you're over reacting just a bit?" I say.

Tracy just shakes her head no.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Cassidy played a video of Tracy's date with Mike to the entire school." Conner answers.

"I'm sorry, Tracy." I say.

"Do you guys think if I tell my mom about this it will be enough to convince her that we should move back to Michigan?" Tracy asks.

"I know you're embarrassed but I don't think that it's going to work." I answer.

"I was afraid that you would say that. You can't blame a girl for trying, right?" Tracy says.

"True, how about I make you a smoothie?" I ask.

"I guess that might help a little." Tracy says.

She orders her usual- a large strawberry banana smoothie and goes over to a table. She sits down and starts to do her homework. After I finished making her smoothie Amber pays for it. Then Trent takes it to her table. Trent sets it down on the table. She takes her head out of her science book.

"Thanks Trent." She says.

"You're welcome - just doing my job." Trent says.

Trent walks back to the bar and Tracy get's back to her science homework. Ten minutes later Tracy puts her science book away and takes out her pre calculus book, a calculator and another notebook.

"Hayley, in a few minutes that glass is going to be on the floor." Conner says.

"What do you mean Conner?" I ask.

"Let's just say Tracy has a love/hate relationship with math." Conner answers.

"Let me guess, she loves it when she can get the right answer and hates it when she spends five minutes on a problem just to find out she got the wrong answer." I say.

"Yup that's pretty much it." Conner says.

We watch as Tracy does a few problems. She checks her answers in the back of the book.

"Please, the people who wrote this book are wrong. There is no way that is the right answer." She snaps.

Mike walks in the room and looks over towards Tracy. He notices that she was about to erase a hole into the paper and is about to throw her calculator across the room. He looks back at us.

"How long has she been working on her pre-calc homework?" he asks.

"I'd say about twenty minutes." I answer.

"Well, I'd better head over there before she destroys her calculator." Mike says.

Mike walks over to Tracy's table.

Mike's POV

I get to the table just as Tracy turns around and tosses her calculator towards the wall. I catch it in mid-air and set it back down on the table. Tracy looks over at me.

"You know if you destroy your calculator it will take you even longer to finish your homework." I remind her.

"I know that Mike, but you know math brings out my dark side." She says.

"I wouldn't call it your dark side angel." I say.

"What would you call it then?" she asks.

"I would call it your frustrated side." I answer.

Tracy lets out a soft chuckle and a small smile creeps across her face. I watch her try to wipe the smile off her face.

"Well I thought you'd forgotten how to smile, considering that I only saw you smile once today." I say.

"What are you trying to do exactly?" she asks.

"I'm just trying to get you to laugh and smile. I love it when you smile and I love hearing you laugh." I remind her.

"I know you do Mike. Could you give me a hand with my pre calc homework please?" She says.

"Sure thing angel I would love to help you out." I say.

I pull up a chair and sit down next to her. Fifteen minutes later I could tell that Tracy would snap if she did one more problem.

"Tracy, how about we take a break?" I ask.

"Sounds good to me, if I do one more problem I think my head is going to explode." She says.

"Tracy, you know that can't really happen right?" I reply.

"Yeah I know." She answers.

Then we get up from our seats and walk over to the couch. She tells me that I'm a great math tutor. I thank her for the compliment. I tell her that she doesn't really need a tutor.

"Really Mikey, why's that?" she asks.

"You are a very smart girl. All you need is to have more confidence in yourself." I answer.

"Thanks Mikey that's really sweet." She says.

"How about you and I head down to the beach after you finish your homework?" I ask.

"I don't know Mike." She answers.

I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her in close.

"Trust me angel this spot I want to show you is hidden. I'm the only person who knows where it is." I tell her.

"I guess if it's hidden that's means no one will be able to get any more footage of us." She says.

"So is that a yes?" I say.

She nods. I walk backwards and sit down on the couch. Tracy has no choice but to sit in my lap. Tracy tries to move to sit down next to me. I won't let her. I just want to stay exactly how we are now.

"Are you going to let me move?" she asks.

"Nope sorry, I don't want to let you go." I answer.

"Ok Mikey, you win. I'll stay her for a bit anyway." she says.

A few minutes later I finally let her move to sit down on the couch. After her butt is on the cushion I wrap my arm around her. I pull her closer and she lays her head on my chest.

"This is better." She says.

"Why's that angel?" I ask.

"If we are like this my perfume won't cause you to have a brain fart. Plus it makes you look a little less cute." She answers.

"Wait it makes me look less cute." I say/ whine.

"Relax Mikey I was just kidding." She says.

"Right I knew that." I say.

Tracy just giggles and moves her head towards mine. Then her lips press against mine and I feel the fireworks go off inside my head. As she backs away I notice her eyes are still sparkling like diamonds. She sits back and I lick my lips. I get a taste of her Reese's peanut butter cup lip gloss.

"I like your new lip gloss." I say.

"You know you're not supposed to eat it silly." She says.

"I know sweetie but then why do they add flavor to it anyway?" I ask.

"Just to get us girls to buy it I guess." She answers.

"It also makes the guy who dates that girl who bought that lip gloss want her to kiss him again." I flirt.

"Sorry, Mikey, no can do. This girl would like you to kiss her instead of her kissing you." She flirts.

"You're trying to be cute, right?" I ask sweetly.

"No, it just comes naturally when I'm with you." She answers just as sweetly.

Then she looks over at me and I see her beautiful eyes that always remind me of how amazing she really is. I lean in close and use my right index finger to tilt her chin up towards me. I gently kiss her on the lips. After our second kiss ends she reminds me that it might be a good idea if she finishes her homework. I agreed that sounds like good ideas so we head back over to the table where her things are. I help her with her homework - only when she needs my help that is. Ten minutes later the pre-calc homework is done.

She rips out the homework from her notebook. She takes out a mini stapler from the outside pocket of her bag, staples her homework and puts it away in the folder she uses for the class. Then she puts the stapler away. She closes the notebook and her math book. Then she puts everything away. She zips up her bag and puts it on her back. She gets up from the table.

"I'll be right back Mikey. I'm going to put this back in my car." She says.

"Okay hurry back," I say.

"Don't worry I will," she says as she leaves the room.

Normal POV

Tracy gets to her car and is about to put her bag in the passenger's seat. When her communicator goes off.

"Mesogog picked the wrong day to send a monster to attack the city." Tracy says.

Then Conner and the others run outside too.

"Tracy, you know what we have to do, right?" Conner asked.

"Yes I do Conner." Tracy answers.

"I don't think this is the best place to ranger up though." Ethan says.

Conner points over towards the dumpster. The rangers jog over to it. They check to make sure no one is around.

"Great pick Conner." Kira says in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, couldn't have picked the one that wasn't filled to the top with garbage." Tracy adds.

"Guys, this is not the time. You guys ready?" Conner asks.

"Ready." The other rangers say except for Tracy and their bracelets turned into their morphers.

"Dino Thunder Power Up!" Conner, Kira, Ethan yells.

"White Ranger Dino Power." Trent yells.

Everyone except for Tracy stand in their ranger suits. Tracy looks back over towards the café.

"Tracy, Mike asked you out didn't he?" Kira asks.

"Yes." Tracy answers.

"You know our duties as a ranger right?" Ethan asks.

"Yes, I do Ethan I just wish that being a hero didn't have to make being in a relationship even more difficult." Tracy answers.

"I know this is hard but we really need you." Kira says.

"I know Kira, but what am I supposed to tell Mike?" Tracy asks.

"We'll figure that out together after the battle, okay?" Kira answers.

"Thanks Kira, you really are the best friend ever." Tracy says.

"I know" Kira says.

"Enough with the best friend moment. So, Tracy would you morph please?" Conner asks.

"Ok I'm morphing. Dino Thunder Power Up." Tracy says.

"Come on guys, let's go" Conner says.

Then the five rangers rush off to save the city. The rangers arrive downtown to see a tyrondrone convention.

"It's just some t-drones. Did we really have to morph to deal with these guys?" Tracy asks.

"It will go faster." Conner reminds her.

"True let's get this over with." Tracy says.

Tracy calls for her weapon and charges in towards the t-drone. She takes out ten of them in one shot.

"Come on guys, we can't let her have all the fun." Conner says.

The other rangers charge into the fray and take out more t-drones. Ten minutes later they destroy all the t-drones. The rangers run up to each other.

"Well that was fun." Ethan says.

"Let's get out of here. I'll still be able to make my date with Mike." Tracy says.

"You'll have to take a rain check on that date Pink ranger." An evil voice says.

The rangers turn around and see Mesogog's latest monster.

"I knew I should have left while I had the chance." Tracy says.

The monster fires it laser at the rangers. The blast came in fast and hits the rangers. They lay on the ground demorphed. It sneaks back through an Invisi-Portal. The rangers get to their feet.

"Man that thing is stronger than anything we've ever fought before." Trent says.

"Trent's right, what do we do now?" Kira asks.

"Let's head to the lab and see if Dr. O has any idea on how to beat it." Conner says.

Everyone agrees that is a good idea so the rangers slowly exit the battle. They are wondering what their next move will be.
