Tracy's Dino Powers Return Part 2, - The Test

Tracy's POV

I'm happy that Amber got her powers now I hope mine come back. We pull into the driveway to Dr. O's house. After we get out, go into the house, and start walking down the stairs to the lab. I kept the front pocket of my purse open so I could hear when mom texts me. As we reach the bottom of the stairs, I hear The Climb playing through my phone. I nervously take out my phone.

"Is that song you set to alert you when your mom texts you?" Amber asks.

"Yup, so I'm guessing you would want me to read it?"

"Yes, please," Amber says.

"Mom says that Dr. Calhoun said he could do the surgery Saturday morning at 6:00."

"Wow, how did your mom manage to schedule it so soon?" Kira asks.

"She probably told him how important it was for me to have it done as soon as possible so that way I'll be able to sing for the final choir performance and at graduation,"

I put my phone away. Then walk over to the table that has my morpher on it. I take off my bracket, pick up my morpher, go over to Kimberly and hand it to her.

"Kimberly, I know the pink dino gem's power has bonded to me. Since I won't be able to talk for a while after the surgery, would you be able to fill in for me?"

"Is it even possible for Kimberly use Tracy's ranger powers Dr. O?" Ethan asks.

"Yes, but we can't clone the pink dino gem. The morphing grid can't handle duplicating the same power," Dr. O says.

"I'll try to help you out, but I need to remind you that the coating on the pink dino gem needs to be removed before we can do anything," Circuit says.

"How do we know when it's gone other than seeing if Tracy can morph?" Amber asks.

"Amber, you forget that my dino powers aren't working either,"

"So, if your dino powers are working again then that means the coating is gone right?" Amber asks.

"Yes, but I still don't understand how my dino powers could get blocked in the first place. Since I got them when the gem bonded with my DNA,"

"The spell Rita used on you and Mike must have been stronger than the one she used on me." Dr. Oliver says, "But your confusion about how she was able to block your dino powers is still a relevant concern,"

"Is that why Mike can't break free from it? Oh, just a reminder, I'm still not too thrilled about our idea of destroying his weapon to bring him back,"

"Are you sure that's the only way to break Rita's spell over Mike?" Amber asks.

"Yes, since he is working with Mesogog now. We don't have much choice he could tell him the location of the lab," Dr. O says.

"Tracy, back to your dino power problem maybe Rita's spell could be using something else besides her magic to power it since she obviously can't be here in our time," Amber says.

"That's one theory, but what could it be?"

"Maybe it could being powered up by stress," Amber says.

"Amber, how could Rita even know how stress could affect me?"

"Instead of questioning Amber's theory and test it," Dr. O says.

"How?"

"Tracy, we can take a trip to Silver Hills and visit Bio-Lab," Wes says.

"Would your father be okay with us just popping in for a visit?" Tracy asks.

"I'm going to call him right now and explain what's going on," Wes answers.

I hope Mr. Collins will be okay with our team coming to Bio-Lab. I know the pink dino gem needs to be protected by someone who can - talk.

Wes's POV

I called my father and told him about what is happening here in Reefside with the Dino Thunder Rangers. Dad said that he would be happy to assist them so that their team won't be down a member. I thank him for helping then I hang up and put my phone back into my pocket.

"What did you dad say?" Tracy asks.

"He is glad to assist another team of rangers, so we should get going,"

"Okay, but I think only you, me, Eric, Jen, Circuit, and Kimberly should go. That way Reefside won't be defenseless," Tracy says.

"Good idea, but Tracy take the morpher with you just in case," Hayley says.

"I'll stay here and help out till the four of you get back," Jen says.

"Okay, thanks, Jen," Tracy says.

Tommy hands Kimberly a small box, and she puts the morpher inside. Then we leave the lab to head to Silver Hills. Five minutes later I pull onto the freeway. As I look into the rearview mirror to see if I can merge I catch a glimpse of Tracy and she looks nervous, I need to stay focused on the road, so I tap Eric on the shoulder. Eric gives me a 'why did you do that' look. I gesture towards Tracy, and he nods.

"So, Tracy do you know what you're going to go to college for?" Eric asks.

"I was either going back home to Michigan to go to Michigan State to study animal science or go to Jacksonville University to get a Bachelor's of Music degree. The only problem was the letters I got were fake when I called Michigan State and found out that I was put on the waiting list," Tracy answers.

"Being put on the waiting list is good a thing," Kimberly says.

"I know, but I should call the other colleges to see if I was accepted or not to be on the safe side," Tracy says.

"Do you know who wrote the fake letters?" Eric asks.

"No," Tracy answers, "So, what's with the sudden conversation?"

"Wes noticed that you were nervous," Eric says.

"Nervous isn't the right word. I'm scared that my powers still aren't working and all this test will end up being a waste of Wes's father's time," Tracy says

"Tracy, you need to be more confident and have faith that your powers are back," Kimberly says.

Twenty minutes later I pull into the Bio-Lab parking lot. We get out and walk inside to be greeted by my dad.

"Hello again, Albert," Tracy says.

"Hello Tracy, follow me to the room we set up to test your dino powers," Dad says.

Tracy's POV

Wes's dad leads up to one of the labs. As we enter the room, I see another Jeep parallel parked next to a piece of concert barrier you see on the highway.

"Albert, are you sure that you can afford to have one of the jeeps to be used for something like this?"

"Don't worry Tracy, this jeep needs to have some repair work done it so a little more damage to it won't hurt it," Albert says.

"With all due respect Albert, but my test is going to see if I can flip it over the barrier? have you been taking crazy pills?"

"Tracy, I can deduce from your outburst that you're scared, but this is the only test I could come up with at such short notice," Albert says.

"Fine, but for the record, I think with all the scientists you have I'm sure one of them could have come up with a better idea," I sigh.

Kimberly hands me my morpher. I put in on my wrist then walk over to the jeep and pace my hands underneath the frame. I take a deep breath and close my eyes as I push my arm up toward the ceiling. I slowly open my right eye and smile when I see it fly up into the air. The jeep lands sight up and down on the other side of the barrier. I walk over to everyone. Circuit scans my morpher and says, "Tracy, I have good news. My scan shows that the coating on the gem is gone,"
