It's the week of the Zandar exhibition and I am not looking forward to it. Normally I would love it but it means I'm gonna end up being overworked and my so-called 'friends' are gonna be nowhere in sight. Leaving me to do all the work it's so unfair why can't they just help me for once in their lives. I'm not sure I can keep going with this. I mean they treat me like I'm an idiot.

They act as though they care but they clearly don't. Is this really worth it? I do everything for everyone else. I need to get some air. I need a break from this job and do something for myself. For once in my life, I know what I need to do. I know it's risky but it's all I can do at this point. Miss Morgan needs to realize I deserve the same respect she gives everyone else.

I walk, well more like I storm, into the café and up to Miss Morgan and this time I'm not gonna back down from her. "Can I help you Maddison?" she asks calmly as though she is the nicest person ever. "Yeah, you know what you can help. I have worked my ass off to be a good person, a good employee and all you do is put me down and make me feel like I don't matter. Why? Why am I not good enough for you? I do everything I am supposed to do. Yet all you do is insult me and it hurts." I can see her face lose some of the tension "look, Maddi. They have worked a lot harder and a lot longer than you have and you aren't an adult yet so it would be irresponsible to let you go on a dig." She says calmly.

This is so typical. Wait "I'm 18 in a couple of months." She sighs and looks guilty "Even then it takes months of risk assessments and before you ask I had already been doing Shelby's risk assessment before she decided to sneak off." How do I respond to that? She has pushed me into a corner "It is so unfair! You are the absolute worst! I hate you, Kendall Morgan! I hope you rot in hell!" I scream in her face and run out. I don't know where I am going but I have to just keep running. Nobody can see me cry.

Kendall's POV

I feel bad for Maddison. She has the potential to do so much for the world but I know if I let her go on a dig it would mean she would find out about the others being power rangers. If that happened Sledge could use her to find the base but most importantly she would be in so much danger. I can't put someone else in danger because I messed up.

Maddi is so much like her and it kills me to say no to her. I know I have to stay distant so I will be able to protect her from the whole Ranger thing. I will tell her about it after Sledge has been defeated but until then she must not know. It's for her own safety. It broke my heart to hear her yell that she hates me. Anyway, I better call the Rangers down to go through our plan with the gold energem. We can look for Maddi later.


Maddi's POV

I run through the woods surrounding the city sobbing my heart out. It's so unfair. I have worked so hard and she keeps dismissing me and treating me like a child. I feel myself fall to the ground I let out a shriek. I can't take it anymore. I have lost everything. My parents. My friends. My self-confidence. I even lost Shelby the one person who means the most to me. The person who has been by my side since we were children. I mean up until she started going on digs we were inseparable. But the worst part of all I lost myself. I lost who I was and I have no idea how to find myself again.

I need to take some time to myself just so I can focus on me and my future. I'm going to take three weeks on a break. Maybe take a break in the log cabin. I mean no one is going to be using it for another month. Yeah, that's the plan then I can return to Amber beach. I just hope I'm not fired. I said some awful stuff to her. I hope she doesn't hate me.

Le time skip

I arrive back at the museum to see a huge crowd around the entrance of the museum. I wonder why. When I get there I see the craziest thing. Chase. Dressed like a gardener and when I look at the stage I see Shelby and Tyler dressed up as royalty "Chase why are you dressed up as a gardener? and why is Shelby dressed as a princess?" He turns to face me "I'm not Chase. I am Bob." I give him a look that says 'really' his eyes widen as if he realizes it's me. "Mads. Oh my god. We were all worried why did you run off? Oh and this is a publicity stunt." Wait they were worried about me. Why? "I was stressed it doesn't matter anyway. Miss Morgan is more than likely going to fire me for yelling at her." Chase looks taken aback and slightly confused "why would she fire you? Miss Morgan was the one saying we need to look for you."

All of a sudden a loud bang sounds and there are two monsters with 10 vivix. Chase tells me to run and I do I hide behind a crate watching the whole thing. I saw them. I saw them turn into Power Rangers. How could I have not figured it out sooner? How could they not trust me? Why did they lie to me? Do they think I would reveal their true identities? Or were they trying to protect me?

I see the battle has finished and they go up to the T-Rex head reavealing a secret passage. When I know they are all down there. I pull the tooth and go down the slide. I arrive at an underground base where I see so many things like science equipment, crystals and their holders.

Then my eyes hit the Rangers "sisters don't keep secrets huh. Cause you know this seems like a stab in the back Shelby." At this point I am so done with being lied to. They all look guilty and unsure of what to do "Maddi we didn't want to hurt you. We just" didn't mean to hurt me "No. You do not get to try and justify all of this. I trusted you. I trusted all of you and you betrayed me." They all look away trying to avoid eye contact with me. "Did you really think I couldn't handle myself? Or that I was weak? I'm not going to tell anyone but I need some space. I'm going to go away for a while and then I might come back. So Miss Morgan here is my apron and badge. Shelby here's the key. I need to stay somewhere else."

I turn to leave and as I walk out of the museum I hear Chase call out for me. "Please don't go I need you to stay." I turn to him "why? Why do you think you need me cause I know for a fact I am not needed and that you don't care about me none of you do." I start walking away when he says "I care about you." I turn to him. Our eyes meet, til I run forward and kiss him. I feel him start to kiss me back. We eventually pull apart "I'll stay for you. But I can't stay with my sister. I get why she did it but I need some space from her." He pecks my lips and says "I'll meet you at the car, you can stay with me. Now I gotta get our stuff." He runs off to get our stuff.

Chase's POV

I get down to the base to grab my stuff after I grabbed hers. I see everyone face me "she's fine. She just feels a little betrayed. She isn't quitting, gonna stay with me for a bit."Shelby speaks up and says "Does she need her keys to get some stuff?" I nod and walk up to the car where she is waiting for me. We drive by her house to grab some stuff, then head to my place and fall asleep to Disney movies.

Okay so I changed the end to this part because I couldn't think of a way to progress with this. Also werewolf AU coming soon.
