Power Rangers GPX Supercharged, episode 36: In Honor of Veronica

:-:-:-: We're the best chance, for humanity, Power Rangers G-P-X, let's go! :-:-:-:

If Maria could have returned to Venezuela to attend the funeral of her best friend Veronica Jimenez, she would have. But she could not. And ever since her best friend was mercilessly killed by Ragnar, she was beside herself in grief.

She cried all night the night Veronica died, and started crying, albeit more softly and struggling, when she woke up. Eventually, she stopped, but the death of her best friend had impacted her.

The other Rangers didn't know Veronica that well. But they couldn't bear to see her in such a grieving state, Sean especially. He hated seeing the woman he loved in such a sad state. He loved her liveliness and this was about as far from it as possible. She was a woman in touch with her emotions, an admirable part of anyone's personality. But still...

She was suffering.

And Sean wanted it to stop. Okay, maybe that's not the right word. He wanted her to feel better.

So he walked up to her seated at the table, looking at a picture of her and Veronica. The emotions in her face were enough to tell him everything. He opened his mouth. But nothing came out. He wasn't sure what to say. He tried again, but couldn't think of a single word.

He'd never had anyone close to him die before. He had no way to know what she was going through.

But he remembered that his dad talked a lot about his favorite memories of his friends who were killed in the line of duty. That might work. "So, um... what's your favorite memory of her?" he asked.

"What?" she asked.

"Well, I didn't know her, so... I just want to hear you talking about her."

"Is that the best you can do?" she asked, "My best friend just died—"

"Look, I don't know what to say to someone whose friend has died, alright?" he asked, "But this is what my dad did when his friends were killed."

"Oh," she said, "I'm sorry for my outburst. It actually reminds me of this time when she yelled at..." she told him at length about a time in her life when Veronica yelled at a man who was being rude during a funeral. It ended up turning into a funny story about how Veronica got mad at someone during a Leones game that had Sean trying desperately not to laugh too hard.

"Oh my god!" he said, struggling to keep his breath.

"What's so funny?" she asked.

"Your story!" he replied, "She sounds like an amazing woman!"

"Yeah, she was," said Maria, "I just wish..."

"Please," Sean said, "I'm trying to help."

"I know you are," she said. "But you're not doing a good job."
