Jayden's awesome younger sister

Chapter 17 Jayden gets payback

The next morning I was going to see if Jayden would be up for some training with his sister. "Ariel, Lauren is gone." Jayden said. "What?" I asked. "She said that Master Xandred was after her and I told her to run." Jayden said. Later that morning, around 9:30 she came back and told Jayden that it was just a prank. "I am so going to get you back." Jayden said. "Yeah, good luck with that." Lauren said. Jayden tried to drag me into it but I didn't see a reason to be involved if I wasn't even part of it. He decided to pull a prank on Lauren by putting a fake snake in the toilet. He got her really good. He forgot to remove the fake snake from the toilet and I got so scared by it that I ended up passing out. Three hours later I wake up in my room. "Ow, my head. What happened?" I asked myself. Then Jayden walked into my room. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah, but my head just hurts a little bit." I said. The next day Virginia and I gave birth to our kids. I gave birth to a boy and a girl. They are twins. John and I named the boy Ben and we named the girl Mal. The next day while John was watching our kids I went to Virginia's room to see if she gave birth to a boy or a girl. "Hey Virginia." I said. "Hey, I would like you to meet my daughter, Ruby and my son Blue." Virginia said. "Wow, they are so cute." I said. The next day I was training with some of the other rangers when the gap sensor went off. "Lauren, can you stay here and look after our kids until we come back from this battle?" I asked. "Sure." Lauren said. After we came back from the battle I was so exhausted. "How did the battle go?" Lauren asked. "It... was... tough." I said through deep breaths. The next day I decided to get revenge on Jayden for pranking me, eventhough it was by accident. I got Virginia to help me to get revenge on Jayden. I got a bucket and filled it with cold water. Then Virginia put ice in the bucket to make the water even colder. Then when Jayden wasn't looking both me and Virginia went through with our prank. I distracted Jayden and when he was distracted Virginia poured the bucket of ice cold water on his head. He didn't like that too much. He decided to get me and Virginia back. Jayden decided to pour cranberry juice on us. While Jayden poured cranberry juice on me his bff Antonio poured cranberry juice on Virginia. We didn't like that very much. Lauren walked up to us the next day. "You should stop pulling pranks on Jayden. Every time you do that he is going to get you back." Lauren said. "Come on Lauren." I said. "Don't pull any on him for a while." Lauren said. "You're no fun." I said as I walked away. "What's with her?" Virginia asked. "I never told anyone this. When we were younger we used to pull pranks on each other all the time." Lauren said. "Oh, I didn't realize that. What made you decide that it was time to stop pulling pranks on him?" Virginia asked. "When she moved out at the age of five." Lauren said. "Oh okay. Wait, she moved out at the age of five?" Virginia asked. "Yeah." Lauren said. "Why?" Virginia asked. "She doesn't like to talk about it but if you want to know, I'll tell you. A few weeks before she turned six Jason, our family friend died. She moved out the day after that." Lauren said. "Wow, she must have been emotionally affected by it." Virginia said. "Like extremely affected." Lauren said. "Well when I met her she didn't look like she was emotionally affected by anything." Virginia said. "She has a great way of hiding those kinds of things." Lauren said. "Maybe she became emotionally numb." Virginia said. "What makes you say that?" Lauren asked. "What I mean is that you might have noticed that she probably stopped having interest in things that she likes." Virginia said. The next day I told Jayden that Lauren wanted me to stop pulling pranks on him for a while, eventhough we haven't pulled any pranks on each other for at least fifteen years. Later that night I was having a nightmare. Jayden came into my room and woke me up. "Are you okay?" He asked. "For right now. I just had a bad dream." I said. "Do you want to talk about it?" Jayden asked. "Yeah." I said. "What was going on in your dream?" Jayden asked. "I was walking down the street and Decker walked up to me. I was like Decker, what are you doing here? And he was like I came to warn you about the final battle. I got kinda scared but asked him how to fight in the final battle. He said that it's one I have to take on my own. That made me even more scared. I don't know what to think of it." I said. "Hey remember when Emma from once upon a time had to fight the final battle alone?" Jayden asked. "Yeah, why?" I asked. "Because I think Decker is trying to tell you that the final battle is going to be worse than you can possibly imagine." Jayden said.

I never thought about it like that. "But I don't understand. Why would he try to tell me that the final battle is going to be worse than I can possibly imagine?" I asked. "Don't worry. If he thinks he can break this family up he's wrong." Jayden said. "But what if he succeeds in breaking us up?" I asked. "Then, I'm not sure how to say this but, you will have the voices of the people that love you in your heart, waiting to tell you what to do when you need them the most, including dad's voice." Jayden said. "Jayden, dad died a while ago. I don't think his voice will ever be in my heart." I said. "I guess I should show you that he lives in you." Jayden said. He lead me to a secret pond in the dead of night. "Look down there." He said.
