Now I loved writing this chapter... mainly because I was going through a rough time, so... this came out of it.

Now... the Disclaimer...

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers Dino Thunder or it's characters or the song in this chapter. All I own is Celea and a few other OCs... and the Academy she goes to, and it's moves.

Celea

Anger was inside me, there was no denying that.

Anger from everything that happened 3 days ago.

Right now, I was trying to cook lunch for Hunter and I while he was outside, working on the truck.

I put it in the oven as my phone went off and I opened it. "Go for Celea."

"Cel? It's Kira." Kira's voice came through, "How's everything?"

"Fine… just… fine." I assured simply.

"You weren't at Hayley's today."

"Day off."

"But, don't you have that paper due in a few days?"

"I can do it here."

"Yeah… something's wrong. What is it?" She asked.

"Nothing." I insisted, "I just need a day away from the Café, is all."

"…Okay…" She let out slowly.

"Gotta go, though." I let out, "Talk to you later?"

"Yeah, bye."

With that, I hung up.

'Cel?'

I wanted to ignore it, but I sighed softly, "What?"

'I fixed the truck… want me to go grab something to eat?'

"No." I denied, "I'm making something… it's in the oven right now."

'I'll be up in five.' He assured before the connection was cut.

I nodded softly, biting my lip.

Ever since I got mad… let's just say, I haven't been really keen on being around Hunter… or Conner, but mainly Hunter.

I mean, I still don't get why I'm mad. It was three days ago… I'm not one for holding a grudge for longer than two.

Besides, it's not like I'm mad at Hunter as a whole… just that he doesn't seem to trust my judgment.

Which I really hate. And he knows that.

I heard the door open and I glanced up to see Hunter walking in.

"You think to yourself a lot." He noted as he walked over to me, "You're still mad at me?"

"No." I let out, "Not you as a whole… just… you don't trust my judgment, and you know what happened the last time you didn't."

"He tried to destroy us, though."

"Not willingly!" I snapped, "You and Conner keep skipping over that clear fact!"

"We don't know he's doing it willingly or not." Hunter reasoned simply.

I groaned angrily before the oven beeped and I pulled out the casserole I'd made.

I put it on the counter and grabbed some shredded cheese and covered the top of it before I put it back in the oven.

I shoved past my boyfriend, "Ten minutes, you can eat it, pull it out in five."

"Where are you going?"

"To the gym." I called as I walked out, slamming the door behind me.

Hunter

I winced as the door closed.

I can't believe she won't forgive me!

And over what?! The fact that Trent's a liar and evil?!

I groaned and walked into our room.

"I don't get it! And why does she think I don't trust her judgment?! It means everything to me!"

I mean… sure, I didn't listen when we came up with the plan to redeem ourselves to the Ninja Rangers…

And I tended to ignore her other warnings when she was frightened for me…

I groaned, "Great… just great… she's mad at me and it took me this long to figure it out…"

My morpher sounded and I quickly lifted it up.

"Yeah?"

"I just did a scan… seems there's a whole bunch of Triptoids around the Hotel… let me give you a guess as to who's leading them." Hayley's voice came through.

"I'm on it." I nodded before I cut the connection.

I ran out of the room and Ninja Ran out of the Hotel.

5 minutes later…

I was morphed and striking down the Triptoids with Cel beside me.

I struck one of the last ones down before I felt Cel crack her whip inches from my face.

"Hey!" I snapped over at her.

"Get out of my way if you're gonna do that!" She snarled back.

"Got it." I quickly moved back as we struck down the remaining Triptoids and got in front of Zeltrax, our weapons held at the ready.

"You worthless fools!" He growled before pulling out his sword.

I held mine up and collided with him.

I growled as I held stiff, "You can call me worthless… but not Celea!"

I pulled my sword out of the hold and swung at the freak's chest.

He cried out as he stumbled back before growling, "I'll be back Magenta Ranger! Just you wait!"

With that, he was engulfed by an Invisa-Portal.

I took a deep breath before I growled, "Power down!"

Once my ranger uniform was gone, I hurried over to Celea, who also demorphed a moment later.

I pulled her into my arms once I was up to her and held her there.

"Let me go… right now." She growled.

I did as told and looked at her, "Cel… I am really sorry for getting mad at you."

"Sure." She scuffed and started walking away.

"Cel, if I could turn back the clock to fix it, I would." I insisted as I hurried after her, "I didn't mean to get mad at you… you're my best friend."

"A best friend doesn't instantly go against the other's judgment." She stopped and looked at me, "Hunter, it hurts that you don't believe me, or Kira, about Trent."

"Has he proven the Gem is forcing him to morph?" I reasoned simply.

"Well…. No…."

"See!" I nodded.

"But Trent's still a good person himself." She retorted.

I rolled my eyes, "Celea, you aren't getting it!"

"What's not to get?!" She snapped, "You and Blake were good people when you weren't morphed… or going after the Wind Ninjas…"

"I knew what I was doing." I countered, "Trent nearly annihilated us!"

Celea groaned loudly and continued to walk away.

"Cel!" I chased after her.

"Moonlit wave…" I heard her mumble before I was forced back by a soft laugh.

I glared at her, "Cel!"

"Just leave me alone!" She snapped.

1 hour later…

I was at the Café, watching Celea laugh with Sean.

"Someone becoming Red with Envy?" Conner walked over, glancing at where I was looking.

"You mean magenta with Envy." Ethan corrected.

"I'm fine." I growled out.

"Says the boy that's been stabbing his food and hasn't taken a single bite?" Kira noted.

I sighed, "Look, it's nothing… Cel'll get over it and we'll put this whole mess behind us."

"Then don't look at the bar."

My head snapped to the bar and I looked to see Cel and Sean walking out, laughing with each other.

"Hunter?"

"What?" I was shaking with anger.

"You can't chase her on an empty stomach." Conner noted simply, "I speak from experience."

Half an hour later…

I came to a stop outside the Skate Park and saw Celea showing off to a crowd of people.

In front of them, though… was Sean.

Anger boiled within me as I walked up to the ramp and watched her do a 360 tailspin into a 540 McTwist.

I smiled as she came to a stop at the bottom and the crowd dispersed… with all but Sean leaving.

"How was that?" She smiled lightly.

I rushed in front of him and looked at her eyes, "It was amazing."

She stepped around me and nodded to Sean, "Well?"

"It was great… have you tried the Casper?"

"You nuts? It's a really hard move for ramps… live alone on the street." She shook her head.

"You can do the 540 McTwist with ease, I'm sure the Casper would be a cakewalk."

"Maybe you shouldn't advise a move for her." I folded my arms, glaring at him, "If she doesn't wanna do it, she doesn't have to."

"Hunt, I can stick up for myself." She glared at me.

I took in a soft breath… at least she's not mad enough to forget my nickname.

"I know…" I relented, "I was worried about you…"

"Well stop." She bit, "I don't need you to fight my battles… come on Sean… there's another move I gotta show you."

She got back on her board and skated away.

I groaned as I watched her go before I stomped my foot into the ground, "Darn it!"

Later that day…

I was looking over a poster for the upcoming '50-foot ramp' contest.

According to this, whoever can do the best move gets a year's supply of skateboarding equipment for free.

The contest was tomorrow at the Skate Park here in Reefside… and I knew Celea was gonna sign up.

The thought of Celea from this morning really set me on edge and I put my name on the sign-up sheet too.

"Thank you." The coordinator, Theresa, nodded as I gave it back and started to walk away, "Can't wait to see you tomorrow."

My heart rammed to a halt and I mentally hit myself.

Celea was gonna be so mad at me for this…

1 hour later…

The same poster I was looking at before was slammed down in front of me as I sat in my hotel room.

I looked up and I swear I saw Cel's eyes burn Bright Yellow for a few moments before she blinked.

"Cassidy was handing these out today…" She started slowly, and clearly angrily.

"Yeah? So?" I frowned.

"You didn't!" She growled, "Tell me you didn't sign up for this stupid, death wish granting, trick!"

"Yes, I did." I nodded.

"Hunt!" She growled, "If this is payback for earlier…!"

"It's not." I denied simply, "I just wanna do it."

"You can barely stand on a board!" She retorted.

"Come on, what's the worst that can happen?" I shrugged, "It's not like you'd care anyway."

The words slipped out before I could stop them.

She stared at me in sorrow before she got up and grabbed her laptop.

"Cel… I didn't mean…" I tried to explain.

She ignored me before she put the laptop in front of me and pressed a button.

"Alright… Celea Palensa here… and I'm about to do the infamous Casper." Celea was on the screen, decked out in her Skateboarding Gear, "Cameraman, Ty Lunetta will be filming my historic skate."

The camera changed direction to show said Former Lunar Ninja.

"Director, editor, and living witness to the event." He nodded.

"Ty!"

The camera changed to show Celea again.

"Now… This trick is not to be done by an amateur." Celea went on, "And should only be done by either a near pro… or someone who knows their way around a 50-foot ramp."

"So you're doing it because…?"

"Because I know my way around a 50-foot ramp and I'm a near pro, genius." Celea replied.

"Alright… sheesh…" Ty grumbled.

Celea tapped the button again before she fast-forwarded it.

I frowned and saw her on the ground, holding her arm in pain.

"Are you okay?"

"It seems… I did a little miscalculating…" She groaned softly, "A 50-foot ramp is not a good thing to work on."

"Ya think?"

"Whoa…" I gaped.

"Yeah." Celea slammed the laptop closed, "You can't do it… it's crazy… and that's coming from me!"

"I don't care. I made myself a promise, and I'm still doing it." I denied.

"Hunter, do you even hear yourself right now?!"

"Yeah… and you know I don't back down from a challenge." I shrugged.

"Dude, this isn't a challenge… this is a death wish!" She snapped, "And this is coming from a skateboarder ready to go pro."

"Well… I don't care." I sighed as I got up, "The thing's tomorrow, and I'm doing it."

With that, I started out of the room.

"You're also sleeping on the couch tonight!"

"Already figured!"

Third Person

Celea groaned softly, "There's gotta be some way to stop him from doing that crazy trick…"

The next day…

Hunter was already gone as Celea woke up… and that was pretty early.

"Idiot…" She growled before she grabbed her gear and started putting on her helmet as she grabbed her board and Ninja Ran out of the Hotel Room.

2 hours later…

Hayley was just starting to open the shop when Celea ran in, looking worried.

"We've got a major problem!" She let out breathless.

Hayley raised a brow, "How so?"

"You know that 50-foot ramp contest going on in the Skate Park in town?"

"Yeah…?" Hayley nodded.

"Well, my idiot boyfriend, who can't skateboard to save his life, thinks it's a gangbuster idea to try it!"

"That's bad…" Hayley let out.

"Yeah…" Celea nodded quickly.

"We better go then… the Skate Park's not far from here… and the contest starts in 1 hour…"

"Took the words right out of my mouth."

57 minutes later…

They were joined by the rest of the team, and Cassidy and Devin.

"Over there!" Kira looked over at the high ramp.

"Wow… that's a tall ramp…"

"No skateboarder in their right mind would go on it!" Celea put in, "I should know… but that's beside the point… we need to stop Hunter before he does something monumentally stupid."

"What's the worst he can do?"

"You've seen how most people do the 540 McTwist?" Celea looked at Devin as he held his camera up, "Well… think of that on that high a ramp! There's very little chance of surviving that… so…." She looked over at the team. "What's say we find Hunter right now?!"

"Uh… about that…" Cassidy nodded up to the top.

Celea didn't like it… but she looked up.

"Is he insane?!" Celea exclaimed as she watched Hunter stand at the top of the ramp.

"Yep." Hayley let out before the five looked at each other and ran for the information booth.

"Can't you stop him?!" Ethan let out in worry.

"Sorry… but, he agreed to it, and he's at the top of the ramp anyway." She shrugged.

Celea took in a deep breath before she ground out, "Could I do it with him then?"

The information lady frowned, "Well…"

"Please?!" The four teens exclaimed.

She sighed, "Alright… fine… but you might wanna hurry… looks like he's almost ready."

Celea looked over her shoulder before she grabbed her board and headed for the ramp.

3 minutes later…

Hunter readied the board and looked down at the height…

"Okay… this is the craziest thing I've ever done…" He let out softly before he checked his gear one last time before he leaned forward and went down the ramp.

Celea got to the top of the ramp and groaned, "You're gonna be the death of me!"

She got on the edge of the ramp and went down it.

With the others…

Kira, Conner, Ethan, Cassidy, Devin, and Hayley all watched with batted breath.

Hunter was a little shaky going down, causing the four on the Ranger team to grab each other's hands in fear.

Devin held his camera up to catch everything as Celea got beside him a moment later and grabbed his hand tightly and easily.

The seven all breathed out with relief.

With Celea and Hunter…

Celea took in a deep breath as they crossed the bottom of the ramp and got to the top of the other side and grabbed the edge as they turned onto the side and landed easily on the top of it.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Celea took in a deep breath she didn't know she'd been keeping back and leaned against her knees to catch it.

Hunter's eyes were wide as he looked over at her, "Why'd you….?"

"Because I didn't think you'd be dumb enough to try to kill yourself!" Celea let out, glaring up at him, "50-foot skateboarding ramp?! What were you thinking?!"

"I… I wasn't…" He relented as they came down the ramp and their friends rushed over… Cassidy and Devin with them.

"Are you okay Hunter?" Five out of the Six asked.

"Yeah… yeah, I'm okay. Thanks to Cel here." Hunter patted her shoulder.

"Yeah…" Celea let out softly, then looked at Cassidy, "Uh… thanks for the heads up about this, though…"

"It's what a reporter does." She nodded before she walked away with Devin.

"What were you thinking?" Conner questioned as they walked away.

"I wasn't…" Hunter sighed, "I was just…"

"Jealous?" Kira figured.

He groaned and got in front of them, causing them to stop, "Okay, yeah… I was jealous… and angry…"

"Hunter, you can't ride a skateboard to save your life!" Celea reasoned.

"I know… I just… I signed up in a moment of anger and I… I didn't wanna back out at the last second."

"Never do it again, then!" They snapped.

"Deal." Hunter let out softly.

1 hour later…

"Hey… Kira… could I do a number?" Hunter nodded to the mic as everyone was in the Café, relaxing.

Ethan was at the computers, playing a video game.

Conner was playing some Foosball.

And Celea was talking to Sean and laughing softly at jokes he was giving.

"Sure." Kira nodded and stepped back.

Hunter got in front of the mic and tapped it softly, "Uh… excuse me?"

Everyone looked up at him, Celea frowning in confusion at his action.

"I… uh… I have this song that I think will clear up some feelings for my girlfriend and me." Hunter continued, getting Celea's full attention.

He turned to the band and started explaining the rhythm he wanted as Celea got out from behind the bar and over to Kira as she got off the stage.

"What's he talking about?" Celea whispered.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Kira shrugged as Hunter turned back around.

The music started and Hunter stepped up to the mic.

"There'll be days your heart don't wanna beat. You pray more than you breathe. And you just wanna fall to pieces." He started softly, "And nights, two AM calls…where dreams become walls, and you just need a break. Break on me. Shatter like glass. Come apart in my hands. Take as long as it takes, girl. Break on me. Put your head on my chest. Let me help you forget. When your heart needs to break, just break on me."

Sean walked over frowning, but Celea just kept looking at Hunter.

"There'll be times, when someone you know, becomes someone you knew. But you'd do anything to change it, and words," Hunter went on, "You wanna take back. But you know you can't. When the pages just won't turn and it still hurts, break on me. Shatter like glass. Come apart in my hands, take as long as it takes, girl. Break on me. Put your head on my chest. Let me help you forget. When your heart needs to break, just break on me."

Celea's heart skipped a beat as she got the point of the song Hunter was trying to get across her.

She's been so mad at him for some stupid detail and she couldn't see that he was worried about her.

"Oh, when you need somebody." Hunter continued, "When you need somebody right now. You're where I'll be…. Break on me. Shatter like glass. Come apart in my hands. Take as long as it takes, girl. Break on me. put your head on my chest. Let me help you forget. When your heart needs to break, just break on me. Break on me… Break on me, baby….. oh… oh…"

When he finished, Celea bolted to the top of the stage and hugged him, tears slowly coming down her face.

"Next time, tell me when you're upset like that." She let out softly.

'Will do.' He assured as he hugged her back.

Sean frowned as he watched… almost seeing a familiar image from the two he knew from a team before.

Maybe they were meant to be…

But Celea was a smart girl… and he was hoping she'd hang with him a little more.

Man, that was good to write...

Next weeks gonna be the meteor rock episode, and yes, Celea will still have anger issues with Hunter and Conner on the matter of Trent.

Please review and tell me what you think... please no flames.

Next week, next chapter.
