Chapter 1 ~ Dreams

“Bria, put this in the dishwasher, would you?”
   
 “Sure, Mom.” Ambrianna took the bowl from her mother and placed it on the rack. Ashley watched her daughter with a smile.

At 17, she bore little resemblance to her mother. Tall, having brown hair with blonde stripes, she looked just like her father, Andros. Her personality was a perfect blend of the two: open and giving like her mother, mysterious yet kind like her father. The only thing that puzzled the two parents were their daughter’s eyes. They were a stunning blue, yet at times they were almost gray. Well, that and another thing puzzled them.

Ever since she could walk, Ambrianna showed strange powers. Some came and went, but one always stayed with her. At times she had amazing powers with water, air, plants, and animals. She could control water, create storms, and listen to plants and animals. These powers always faded away after a few days, leaving her with shadows of the power. The one power she always had was fire.

Ashley chuckled as she recalled Bria when she was 5, accidentally lighting her bed on fire. It wasn’t funny then, but it was amusing to recall.

Just then a pair of arms encircled Ashley’s waist, and she turned to see Andros smiling at her. Bria smiled as she watched her parents. Deciding to give them a moment to themselves, she tip toed out the back door and lay in the grass in the backyard.

Bria looked at the setting sun and rising moon. She smiled, thinking that somewhere out there her cousin and best friend Jessica lived. Jess lived on KO-35, Andros’s home planet. Bria loved it when Jess, Aunt Karone, and Uncle Zhane would visit. Aunt Karone was so nice, and Uncle Zhane always made her laugh. Besides, Jess and Bria always had a great time.

As Ambrianna stared at the moon, she thought of the stories her parents told her: how Andros lost his little sister when they were children, and how Astronema, Princess of Evil, turned out to be Karone: how Ashley had a major crush on Andros. Bria chuckled, remembering the time her dad had helped 3 car thieves without knowing it. These were the stories she grew up on: stories of her parents, of Power Rangers.

How Bria wished she could prove herself to her parents; to be just like them, and to make them proud. Often when she was small she and Jess would pretend they were Power Rangers, but never when their parents were around. * I wonder when I’ll hear from Jess. * she thought. Just then her thoughts were interrupted by a call from the house.

“Bria!”

“Yeah?”

“Time to come in!”

“OK, I’ll be in in a few minutes!” Ambrianna watched the sky until it was black, dotted with white stars and a full moon. Sighing, she got up and slowly walked into the house.

After saying goodnight to her parents, Bria got ready for bed. She wondered what the night would send her; lately she’d been having strange dreams. Shaking her head, she climbed into bed and was soon asleep.

“Ambrianna.”

Bria looked up in her dream to see a woman dressed in a white gown. She wore a band of blue and white flowers in her long brown hair, and around her neck was a blue gem set in gold.

“Mother Nature has blessed you with many gifts.”

“Who are you?”

The woman just smiled. “You will know later. Now, you must trust me and do what I am about to tell you.”

Bria looked at her, then nodded.

“You must talk with your cousin on KO-35 and convince her to come join you. Then you must find three more companions. The first you will find there in Angel Grove.”

“How will I know who they are?”

“You will know. I will come to you again later. Be brave, my daughter.” Everything became foggy, and the woman disappeared.

****

Bria sat up in bed. * What was THAT? * she wondered. * I suppose I should call Jess...* She turned to look at the clock. 6:00 AM. If she was going to get to school today, she should call Jess now.

Bria walked over to a small gadget that looked like a phone, but was able to communicate all the way to KO-35. Picking it up, she called Jess.

Jess answered in a few moments. “Hello?”

“Jess! Hi!”

“Hi Bria! What’s new?”

“OK, this is going to sound really weird, so promise not to laugh, OK?”

“Bria, what is it?” Jess asked, sensing a confused note in her cousin’s voice.

“I’ve been having the weirdest dreams lately...”

“What classifies as weird?”

“There’s this woman...and she talks to me about my ‘gifts’, as she calls them...and she told me that you had to come to Angel Grove.”

“Well that doesn’t sound so weird. I mean, dreams come from your subconscious, right? So it’s only natural you would think about your ‘gifts’ and me.”

“But it’s not coming from me! I know it! It’s like she’s inside my dreams...I didn’t make her up, Jess.”

Bria heard a sigh from the other end of the line. “So you’re telling me to pack up and come to Angel Grove?”

“Pretty please, my favorite cousin who I’d do anything for because she’s the best?”

Jess laughed. “Fine, I’ll come. But I don’t think Mom and Dad will be too happy...well, I’m 18 now, tough luck. I’m coming. I’ll be there in about a week, OK?”

“Thanks Jess, you’re the best.”

“I know.”

“And so modest! Talk to you later.”

“Bye.”
