Chapter 22: Ronny and Courtney on empty part 1:

Chelbell2016:

Okay so I want this one up today so I can carry on with the next one after work tomorrow.

Courtney's POV:

I am sat brushing Azantyz as Dax and Will play pool I am listening to their conversation.

"8 ball corner pocket," Dax tells Will once he has finished setting up the balls. "Eyes closed."

I glance up in disbelief.

"Don't you think you should break before calling your shots?" Will asks him.

"I would," I say to the blue ranger as that sounds impossible to me.

"Watch and learn my friends," Dax tells us and I get to my feet and pat Azantyz.

"This I gotta see," I tell my furry friend who nods his head.

Dax leans over the table and closes his eyes. He takes his shot and the black ball goes into the corner pocket making me smirk and then to top it off, the white ball goes flying off of the table.

"What happened?" Dax asks as he stands straight and opens his eyes.

Will and I both speak at the same time. "You lost hotshot!"

Dax looks confused as we say this. Then a hag appears and the boys scream.

"I go next!" She groans.

"Hi Ronny!" I smirk at the boys reaction as Ronny pulls off the mask laughing her head off.

I look at the guys and laugh along as Dax is holding his cue in a threatening way and Will had even taken out his tracker.

"Happy Halloween!" Ronny says to us and I high five her. "I thought I'd go as something scary this year. It's my favorite holiday!"

"Halloween's for kids!" Will says.

"Oh come on Will," I say putting my arm around Ronny's shoulders. "It's just fun!"

"Your like a big kid anyway Courtney!" He snaps at me and I feel a lot of hurt. "So why don't you grow up! You are supposed to be the leader of this team!"

"WILL!" Ronny snaps at him.

I ignore whatever else anyone says as I walk out of the room.

"All rangers report to the command center," Mr. Hartford's voice says so I head downstairs.

I am quietly stood in a corner.

"Good you're all here," Mr. H says as the others arrive and we all walk forwards. "I think I found something!"

He picks up the torch and twists the bottom revealing a hiding spot for some sort of encased bug.

"Cool," Mack says taking it out and we all look at it, it looks like some sort of beetle trapped inside of an amber rock. "It's a beetle!"

Mr. Hartford nods at his son who pulls out his tracker and scans it. I look at the reading and say it out loud.

"It's got a pretty strong jewel signature," I tell them glad that we found this beetle.

"What kind of beetle is it?" Mack asks Rose as she takes the item.

"It's an ugly beetle," Dax says and I shake my head in humor.

"It's a Scarab beetle," Rose corrects him as she examines it. "But it's golden. I have never seen anything like it."

"I'll send it to the lab for analysis," Mr. Hartford tells us and I nod at him. "But don't wonder too far. I'm also working on a new fleet of zords for your arsenal which includes you in it Courtney! I think you're gonna like them!"
