Zack King
Zack continued to push back with strikes as the entire area was now clear of civilians. Zack suddenly was caught off guard and flew back being kicked in the chest.
The others grouped around him and helped him up. He dusted off his jacket as the battle was beginning to escalate.
"Well then, a change of pace seems to be in place, what do you say guys?" Rodrigo spoke out as Zack realized exactly what he was talking about. He watched as Levi was pulling out her cell charger, and noticed Rodrigo beginning to do the same. Bryan uncovered his morpher and looked at the the wave of Cogs beginning to swarm the area.

There were Three now against a Machine World terror. Zack, Rodrigo and Levi, the three of them were now standing side by side fighting a wave of Neo Cogs trying to cause chaos. The same one that First Contact brought to them, but now this was the first salvo towards a global conquest, a second one for them. Levi fought against the urge to shiver as fear creeped up along her spine. One year had passed since they had been chosen to fight and protect their home, the world, friends, and humanity alike. Her eyes closed briefly, breathing in deeply as her mind transported back to that fateful day when her parents where taken from her. "We are the city's last line of defense guys... and we will not fall here. Let's put that training to use!" Zack gave a confident look to the others.Rodrigo felt the surge of everything that had happened cross his body all at once. How Cassie came to his life and with her, the war between two regimes and how Earth was now in their sights. That night known as First Contact was something he would never forget, nor he would let happen again on a global scale. They trained, prepared, and mentally focused on this very moment, and now that time has come. One year. One year we waited, we prepared, trained day and night, so the mistakes done before would not happen againTaken to soon, her brother became the sole provider of the family, while she was tasked in raising and running their home. The sacrifice…the struggles …the nights Levi and Leo stayed up agonizing over bills due, or things that needed tending to…worrying about depleting funds. Worries that she would have thought would not have hit her until later in her years, except she was not that lucky. Having to raise her younger sister into the young woman she has become but learning how to be a woman on her own. Traditions, family traditions that were not carried out because of her parents passing to soon. She was angry…and that anger fueled her to continue. A silent cold anger that burned bright and hot but never shown. She held fast to her hidden anger, hiding behind a smile awaiting the day she was able to unleash the fury she felt towards the machines for taking two of the most important people of her life away from her. Forgiveness would never be forgiven for the crimes they committed were not only committed against herself. They trespassed against the entirety of humans, worlds of the universe and for that Levi would fight to bring them to their knees. Tears trickled down her face, as she sniffled as remembering her parents broke the dam that held tight to her unexpressed emotions. For a long time, she had gotten good at hiding behind a smile, brushing off the reality of the world with kind words and smiles, joking and laughing. Never standing still, for if she stopped even for one moment she would break, and she feared she wouldn’t be able to pick up the pieces. “Today…we fight for those who can’t defend themselves…for those who fell at the hands of the Machine World Terror. No forgiveness is in your future as there is no remorse in the sins that you’ve committed against us, our home and the universe at a hole. Hope your ready to go back to where you came from, once we are done with you. Here and now. We stand before you, And you better be damn sure that we will halt you and your puppeteer's advances. No one takes over this world on our watch. Whatever happened that night will not happen agan. WE will not let that happen again. So here and now, we will stop you and whoever else is controlling your scrap ass!
READY GUYS!?READY!As they got their Cell Shift Morpher out of their holder, they held the phone up and opened the compartment up top. The three Rangers then inserted the large blue and grey cartridge-like device into the now open slot, closing the compartment as the phone set off an activation noise. “Change Soul! Set!”Pressing the yellow button then moving the phone back in front of them. The morphing sequence has been initiated. RPM! GET IN GEAR!
MACH FULL SPEED! RPM RED!RIGHTEOUS PATH! RPM BLUE! BLOOMING SMILE! RPM YELLOW! ACCELERATING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT! POWER RANGERS! RPM! [/CENTER] Rodrigo BustamanteIt. Is. On. He could feel the power cursing through his body. A sensation he never experienced before, it was exhilarating. He could feel like he can take on the world, and more. His reflexes were enhanced, and so was his strength and dexterity. As he dashed towards a pack of Neo Cogs he let them felt first hand his rage. Connecting a combo of punches culminating in a roundhouse kick he sent a couple of the footsoldiers staggering to the ground. He truly felt the battle was going again in their favor. Cassie was ecstatic. Her work finally materialized, she could see that the champions from another world were ready and doing their best to drive away the darkness. THEY DID IT! The metamorphosis was completed!Rodrigo could hear her from his helmet comm. Which in turn had a HUD that could see the surroundings and any information coming from Engine Ops. INITIALIZING PROGRAM RANGER SERIES BLUE ENGINE CONNECTION...ONLINE! WELCOME RODRIGO His HUD suddenly came alive with schematics and operating systems, it was the connection he had with the Engine that chose him to become a part of. Once Machine World technology was fused with the Morphing grid they could access many things and more in the service of two worlds. Now the Engine known as Lion Hauler was activated and helping him in the coming fight.

Levi Day
Levi felt the change in her body as the power washed over her. Levi raised herself up upon the front of her feet. Then lowered herself down, getting use to the power overflowing within her. She flexed her fist, clenching and unclenching them, in awe over the how powerful she felt. Her mother’s face, her father’s voice washed over her, reminding her of what had been lost. Her mind drifted back to her siblings, Lavina and Leo whom where at home, safe or so she hoped. She would fight today and every day to keep them safe from the Neo Cogs and the evil empire they worked for. She charged forward…ducking underneath an outstretched hand of one cog and swept the legs of another out from them. She crouched down and leapt up and over them…grabbing onto the shoulders, digging her fingers into the collarbone, and flipping them over onto their back. In this moment in time she was unstoppable and she’d use this surge of power, surge of confidence to take down as many as she could, in memory of those that were lost, for those who couldn’t fight or for those who have yet to be born. She had the power to make a stand, make a change and that is what she was going to do. Mid flip another change occurred and the HUD within her helmet brightened… schematics and operating systems filled her screen. She grinned behind her helmet and gave a silent and non-visible thumbs up to Cassie…for helping to make this happen. “ I say its far past time that we show them how we party. All in favor, lets dance!” Levi chirped as she flipped another unsuspecting cog onto its back. Slamming her foot into the belly of an approaching foe. She was on fire and would not be stopped.

Zack King
Zack's entire body was practically vibrating with energy. After the transformation Zack would stare at his gloved hands through his visor. He looked at his teammates who were now Power Rangers as well.
There was a sense of pride and confidence in the air now as Zack took his attention towards the Neo Cogs. Suddenly the inside of his helmet began to light up as a flash of light happened inside. Zack began to see an high tech screen showing his opponents in front of him, giving him many details such as distance between him and the machines, the temperature outside and even the suit's damage level.
"Wow... this is amazing... I can feel the power flowing through me..."
"It gets even cooler!
Zack visibly flinched as he looked around and realized the voice was coming from inside the helmet.
"Uh... hello? You are?"
"I'm Speed Falcon... your personal AI and new best friend! And here to assist you in battle!"
Zack looked back at the Cogs as a schematic of the robots in front of him appeared on the screen. Zack clenched his fists as the small tires around his legs began to spin revving up as Zack charged full speed at the Cogs.
"Let's do this speedy!"
"Speedy? I like that... okay!"
Zack moved in and punched a cog, he spun around almost like a car backing up and hit a spinning fist to another cog making sparks fly and sending it back as a shockwave released from the blow! Zack jumped over a sweep kick and bicycle kicked the robot in the face.

Rodrigo BustamanteThe tide of the battle began to shift in their favor, and it was in no small part thanks to their upgrade as Rangers. With this power boost they could topple whatever they threw at them, and they will prove it by taking down the Neo Cogs who dared to threaten the peace that lasted ever since that fateful night. Rodrigo now cladded in Blue Ranger power engaged the enemy as hard as he could. Although the agility boost helped him he still relied on his martial art skill and preferred to do things in a more strong style way. Flurries of fists with pushes to take down the footsoldiers proved best in his case, as he could see by the way they would not get back up as easily as before. Although hand-to-hand combat was one of their prowess, they also possessed arsenal that could help them also in ranged and advance battle tactics, all of this being transmitted to his A.I. known as Lion Hauler. Ever since First Contact the three Engines acted as a way to bridge the Grid with the Machine World technology that can help the Rangers, and in result, they transformed their consciousness into their suits, and later on, in their Zord forms, one that would have to regain after entrance to Earth. Suddenly in the middle of the battle some schematics appeared before Rodrigo's HUD and he could see clearly his next course of action. Rodrigo, you can use the Nitro Blasters in different modes to aid you in battle. Do not only rely on your fistsLion Hauler spoke to him in his comm. Always collected and serious, like a prideful warrior, he accompanied the Engines and his avatar in his training, and now he could oversee the realization of his days giving it his all. Always on his case as well and to tease him for "being too close to Cassie" Thanks friend, now it is the time to do the field test you always bothered me about.
NITRO BLASTER!Taking out the weapon out of his holster, he started blasting away the foes, and in a sea of light sparks and bolts flying around, he could finally vent out and release all the pent up aggression he held up inside all these time.

Zack King
"Duck Right! Sidestep left! 45 degrees this way and strike!"
Speedy analyzed the entire battle scene as Zack maneuvered with ease around the Neo Cogs. The Red Ranger delivered a powerful side kick to the chest of a cog sending it flying into a group of others.
"Things are getting intense guys!"
Zack then watched as Rodrigo began to utilize his blaster.
"Smart! Okay here we go! Nitro Blaster!"
Zack pulled out his blaster and leaped straight into the air as he let shots rain down on the Cogs. Sparks began to fly and a few of the bots began to explode. Zack fired another shot at a Cog trying to sneak up on Rodrigo giving a nod to assure him he had his back. He then turned his attention to the Yellow Ranger.
"How you holding up Levi?!"

Rodrigo Bustamante How are you guy’s holding up?Surprisingly doing *punches* well, this new surge *kicks* of power is just the thrust we *grapples a Neo Cog and pushes it against the others* needed!The battle reached its apex and both sides knew it. The Neo Cogs were machines programmed with only one thing in their mind: to conquer and to battle no matter the outcome, and now that they seem to be not reaching that directive they were getting berserk, and this in turn made them more dangerous. This last wave of attacks was more problematic since now their regards of safe being were thrown out the window by lunging themselves with the intent of taking down their targets even if it means their destruction. A problem though since they were still not only protecting property all around them but a few scarce civilians were still in there as they could not escape. The rangers knew they had to end this, and fast. Cassie, i think we are ready for your plan, you told us you had some arsenal for us, now its a good time to test that theory.Patching it through your systems' mainframe. This is something we worked together with the Engines, we know they will help you win this one and many moreThank you Cassie, i know we can always count on you, maybe later... Eyes and mind on the battle soldier, pleasantries can come later. Lion Hauler chimed in Download complete, and prepared for transport. We all have different weapons based on our schematics.
Rodrigo, the Turbo Cannon shall aid you. Call forth it nowGot it, thank you my friend.
TURBO CANNON!After uttering the voice command sequence a weapon began to materialize in his hands, he felt it held tremendous powers, and that was something they needed now. Starting to test it he began firing the rounds where the footsoldiers converged more, to thin their numbers This is awesome!

Zack King"Keep applying the pressure guys! No matter what we are stopping them here and now!" Zack shouted out to the team as he rolled under an attempted strike and blasted a cog with the nitro blaster. Once again his visor lit up as it then showed another schematic of a sword. "Zack! Let's try out your Street Saber! Time to cut these things down to size!""Sounds good to me! Street Saber!" The Red Ranger called out as a sword materialized out of thin air right into his hand. Zack gripped the blade and charged forward at high speeds. He slashed a cog cutting it in half, turning around catching another one trying to ambush him from behind. Zack's leg tires began spinning as did he at a high speed and he became a spinning top of fury slashing all the cogs that surrounded him. All of the Cogs exploded around him as he leaped into the air to rally with his teammates. The battle was leaning in their favor but it seemed the Cogs were doubling up now. "Guys... I think it's time we put an end to this, right here right now!"

Levi Day.
“Surprisingly doing well, this new surge of power is just the thrust we needed.” The last words she was able to make out as the battle grew even more intense and the neo cogs fought to win, no longer holding back. Unstable, lost to the bloodlust of their minds…only with the goal of winning. Consequences be damned…they would win…well or so they hoped. If there was breathe in Levi’s and the other’s body, they would fight until there was air left within them. She flipped out of the incoming neo’s cogs fist and landed to the side of them. The battle grew intense and Levi knew something would have to change. Even with the added benefit of their blasters, that was not enough. Something had to change, they were not the only ones in direct line of fire, but the last of the civilians who were unfortunate enough to be stuck between them and the cogs.
From her peripheral …blast of blue and red flashed and the tide of her teammate’s battles turned.
Ranger Blue held what appeared to be a turbo cannon in his hands and was fully using it against the overwhelming number of cogs. Inwardly she was cheering, while on the outside she was flipping, ducking, and sliding underneath the cogs that were gunning for her. She jumped into the way of cog that had cornered a family. Jumping straight into the path of it’s descending fist, she blocked with her arm and pushed upwards, away from her and the small family of four.
“Not today.” She gritted out between clenched teeth…stepping backwards as the family took this as their chance to escape. She stayed between them and the cogs that had been bent of tearing them apart.
“So, how about you call upon your weapon and change the game on them again?”
“I think that’s a grand fab idea. Let’s do it, and what do I do?”
“Call forth the zip charger…and it will come. Careful it packs quite a charge.” RV Bear teased.
“We are gonna get along great but for now…Zip charger.”
Holding her arm up, running her gloved hand along the charger, revving it up and lowering her arm releasing it onto the mass of cogs that stood before her. It zips forwards knocking them backwards, sparks flying as it does its job.
“OHHH…I wanna do that again…and again!” Ducking out of another attack she knocks the neo cog across the head, watching in satisfaction as it crumples onto the ground.
“Guy’s….i think it’s time we put an end to this, right here…right now”. Zack called out and Levi was inclined to agree.
“I mean I wouldn’t object, and I’m thinking pizza afterwards…with pineapple!” She teased as she continued to use the zip charger to her advantaging and continued her on onslaught against the mass of cogs.

Rodrigo BustamanteThis first skirmish seemed to be reaching a climax, and it is time to let them know they will end anything they dared to start that would involve hurting innocents. After activating their powers and battling the Neo Cogs, their relentlessness began to grow and they knew that they would have to get things done before they escalate any further. Turning the tide of the battle was one thing, but another not knowing what the enemy can be capable of in order to take back the battle, especially an enemy known for having no heart or remorse, other than what has been programmed in their memories: total annihilation. Guy’s….i think it’s time we put an end to this, right here…right now. “I mean I wouldn’t object, and I’m thinking pizza afterwards…with pineapple!Letting Levi's...tastes for pizza aside, he agreed that they had to end this for good. Took the words right out of my mouth. The pizza taste not so much, still have flashbacks from that movie night. Cassie, i know you got something for us Their weapons suddenly began to glow and emit a ping noise, and inside their helmets the three rangers began to see schematics that involved their main weapons. In a series of simulations the Street Saber, Nitro Blaster and Zip Charger merged into one forming a bigger (and from the looks of it more powerful weapon). Schematics uploaded and ready to use. Merge your weapons into one and form the Road Blaster, this will help you deal with the remaining Neo Cogs. Finish this fight.Will do. This one is for you and Machine World. What do you say guys?! ROAD BLASTER! With the footsoldiers exploding in a heap of flame and bolts flying around, the RPM Rangers won their first battle. After the dust settled and the remaining civilians emerged from their hiding spots, they saw three new defenders of the world. Some took pictures and phones of the scenery, others hugged one another and cheered for them, but one thing was for certain, The Fallen and now the whole world knows that now a war has begun, and it is now up to them to give it their all in order to secure freedom for Earth, and return what has been lost to Machine World so no other civilizations or planets would have to endure what they did. The destiny of two worlds, are now in their hands... End Episode 1

Episode 2 - Five Makes Might Several days have passed since the first incursion The Fallen attempted on Earth, and the first resistance from the Power Rangers. In the aftermath there was what is usually common with humanity: Commotion, thirst for information both official and unofficial, and a sense of danger now dangling over their heads. Anything from news reports to even Podcasts were talking about what happened and the relation to the events dubbed "First Contact", giving insights about the three colored warriors that deterred the advancement from the humanoid robots that cause massive damage and civilian casualties. Little by little the city of Southern Cross was getting back to a semblance of normal life. However, the nagging sensation was there, and spreading through other aspects. As one Rodrigo Bustamant would notice. Rodrigo Bustamante...Now, do you have any questions?The whole class raised their hand I am going to rephrase that: Do you have any questions about the class and not what happened days ago?3/4 of the class lowered their arms in dismay, with only a couple keeping it high. Leaving a sigh of disbelief, he continued with the explanation until the bell rang. And that's it for today. Don't forget to check on "Principles of Physical Acceleration in internal combustions" chapters 3 and 4, very important for the midterms.Once the hall was emptied, he gathered his notes and proceeded to get to the Teacher's Lounge. In a way he understood the expectation his students gave him. It was not everyday an invasion of robotic hordes attacked, destroyed and caused mayhem to everyone still reeling from events past, but he wished he could give them more explanation as to state them that he was doing his best to keep them safe. Even though he had to keep this a secret to the world. All he wished for now is to deliver his reports and then make his way to the Autoshop. Sometimes Rodrigo asked himself why he took that part time job as a Community College professor but then the need to be vigilant (and the influx of money sorely needed) made his worries quelled.

Cole was awoken by a banging on his door "I'm coming!" He shouted quickly throwing on a green T-shirt, blue jeans, and black Converse sneakers he opened the door to be greeted by the scowling face of his landlord "The rent it's 200 Cole looked around the small one bedroom apartment that had served as his home in southern Cross city for the last few months he dug out his wallet from the pocket of his jeans and handed the landlord $150 "this is all I have sorry" he said with a small smile growling the landlord took the last of Cole's money "I recommend you get a job or you'll be out on the street" the landlord grumbled as he walked away Cole exhaled a long sigh of relief wasn't going to be evicted at least not today he was beginning to feel anxious so he took some Ritalin and got out the rubiks cube he was attempting to solve before he fell asleep last night and began to turn it as he walked out the door and locked it behind him I can't keep this up forever he thought to himself I definitely need a job

Since the loss of her parent's Levi and sleep have always had a love-hate kind of relationship. When she needed sleep the most, it alluded her. When she was in need of staying up, sleep smacked her in the face and down she went to lullaby land. Last night hadn't been any different. After the battle, she left the other's sides and returned home to her siblings bickering. Levi resisted the urge to roll her eyes at their normal evening dinner battle. Lavina voting for Chinese while Leo insisted they be normal and eat a healthy dinner. Levi rolled her eyes as her brother and sister debated their sides of the arugment.
"I say Chinese ...it's been awhile since we've eaten Chinese food."
"You just had Chinese food for lunch, unless your Instagram photos are wrong." Leo countered as Lavina rolled her eyes. They both turned to look at Levi and she shook her head and held her hands up in surrender.
"Sorry to burst yawls' bubble but I've already ordered pineapple pizza. "
"Blasphemy! How dare you call yourself my sister!" Lavina retorted while Leo chuckled and nodded in approval.
"Look at it this way, little miss...we aren't subjected to Leo's cooking."
"aye! I'm a good cook."
Lavina and Levi both looked at him and giggled. "Keeping thinking that you do big bro."
Levi patted leo on the shoulder as she passed by him to her room. Pushing the door open, she didn't bother with the light and just flopped down onto to the bed. Her mind already a million miles away.
'We stopped them today, but it was just the beginning. What happens if next time we aren't enough?"
The same thought she turned over numerous times in her head as she laid in the dark. A rapping on her door frame broke her from her train of thought.
"Bad day at school or whose butt am i kicking for putting the frown on your face?" Leo asked as he entered the room and sat down besides Levi.
Smiling up at him. she shook her head. "Just you know me, stressing about my grades. Gotta be the best, ya know?" She teased him...once more hiding behind her upbeat attitude and smile.
He chuckled and flicked her forehead with her index finger. "I would believe you, but your the same person who once threw her computer out the window and screamed ' down with school. I'm a be a sloth. So ...tell me the real reason behind the "Wednesday Adams impersonation?"
"Worried about everything that's happening with the world. Leo , what happens if one day it's me or you or Lavina that's not coming home? or another "accident" occurs? Then what? every time one of us walks out that door, I'm wondering is this the day that one of us doesn't come home? The attack today...i was out of my mind with worry for you and Lavina. Though i can't just tie you both up or duck tape you to the wall. We have to continue to keep living but at the same time...it just...weighs heavily, you know?"
"Levi, you can't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders., but i feel the same way. We have just got to keep living our lives and be as careful as possible when we are out and about. We can not just not live due to fear, because then they win. And h...e...l...l... naw. i ain't about to let uglies from a bad horror film scare me into not living my life."
Levi eyed her older brother and wondered just when had he grown into the mature man that's standing before her and not the one who had no trouble pouring water on her.
Levi's lip twitched as a smile broke out ...a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
"but you'll let Lilly bully you into hiding huh?" She teased. "Shut it twerp and go eat your pizza before Lavina decides it's an abomination and trashes it."
Shaking her head, she rises onto her elbows, and then up from the bed. " Where did we go wrong with her?"
"Nah, I think the better question is...where did i go wrong with you?"
"right'o because strawberries and tartar sauce is much better." Levi retorted as they both head into the living room.
"Where did little miss head to?"
"She's either in prison, terrorizing the natives or in her room. is it wrong to say i hope she's in jail?"
"Leo!"
"What...she's you just mean."
Levi giggles and shakes her head. "I'm a tell her you said that."
"Do it...i ain't scared of her."
"Who are you not scared of, Leo." Lavina asked as she came in from the back door.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Not long, just something bout me ...little ol' me being mean."
Levi chuckles as she moves away from the chaos that was about to ensure. She just laughed at the her siblings and wondered what other type of chaos they would cause. Watching Leo and Lavina together...reminded Levi what she fought for. Moving out of the kitchen, after commandeering the pizza away from the disbelievers, she settled down onto the couch. Thoughtlessly flipping threw the channels as she tried to forget the day she had and prepare herself for the next battle that would eventually come. She wasn't alone with her self long, as Leo and Lavina bounded into the living room, and distracted her from her non thoughts. The night flew by, as the trio of Day's spent the entire evening with one another, talking, picking on one another and just being family.
The next morning throughout the house hold ...three voices screamed in unison that they were late. Leo, Lavina and Levi each blaming one another for being late but perhaps it was due to the fact that for once they had all been home at the same time. Night like last are few and between, so they tried to cherish, and make the most of the time. Levi hopped around the living room with one shoe one, toast hanging between her teeth and her hair up in a bun. Lavina and Leo flew by her as they headed out to begin their days.
As she walked to campus, all around her were people speaking about the rangers that fought for their city. Voices rang with fear, some held worry and others were in awe of the three who appeared and defended their home. A warmth grew in her heart, as she continued on with her trek towards her first class of the day.
----- The day flew by, and after her last class she found herself full of energy and ready for her shift at the shop.
Along the way, she interacted with other students, stopping to make small conversation with them. Just to keep her mind occupied, her worst enemy is when she over thinks. Yet, she hides behind the smile that never falters.
Entering the shop, she places her bag down in back of the desk. Reaching up and unclasping her hair from her bun, she takes a deep breath and begins her day.
"Hello, everyone! How's everybody doing today? Isn't the weather lovely?" She chirps as she moves around the shop.

Christine Bishop
Christine was upstairs above the bookstore getting ready for the day. She put on skinny jeans, a black tank top, a long-sleeved purple overshirt and boots. Running a brush through her hair she pulled it up into a ponytail before heading downstairs. She turned on all the lights and let in her three workers. "Hey guys," she said as they stepped inside. "Morning Christine!" they said in unison. She burst out into laughter. "Did you guys practice that?" Jeremy laughed. "It's the first time in a long time we've all been here at once." Sydney and Jenny grinned. She turned to Sydney. "Well it's not everyday that we have something to celebrate." She hugged her. "Congratulations on your new job." Sydney smiled and hugged her back. "Thank you." She hugged Jenny and Jeremy as they congratulated her as well. "We're all sorry to see you go but we're also excited for you," Christine added. "I'm going to miss you guys too."
"I know you have to head to the airport soon but we wanted to throw you a little congratulations/going away party," Christine said. She headed towards the back and came out with a box from the local bakery. She opened it up and it had chocolate filled doughnuts with frosting that had Congrats Syd! spelled out on them. "You got my favorite," Sydney said sinking her teeth into one. While the others each grabbed one Christine grabbed a brightly wrapped box. "This is from all of us." Sydney licked her fingers and wiped them on a napkin. She opened it and there was a beautiful leather briefcase with her initials on the clasp. "I love it!" She hugged them again. "You can't be a lawyer without one," Christine said with a smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later they all said their goodbyes to Sydney before she got in her taxi to the airport. Christine was the last to say goodbye. "Don't forget to call me when you get there." She hugged Christine tightly. "I promise." Sydney smiled. "Thank you for everything you did for me while I was going to law school. I couldn't have done it without you." Christine smiled. "I was happy to do it." Sydney hugged her one last time and got into her taxi. They all waved goodbye as she left. The three of them went back inside to officially open up the bookstore for the day.

It was later in the afternoon and Christine was ending her third interview for the day. Rubbing her eyes she sighed. "How's it going boss," Jeremy asked. "Well the first guy didn't want to have to take orders from a woman, the first girl couldn't string two sentences together without using the word "like" every other word, and the second girl was dressed in an outfit so skimpy it would be better for working in a strip club." He grinned. "The third one sounded good." She punched him lightly in the shoulder. "I don't think your fiance would appreciate her working here." He laughed. "I don't think she would be happy about it." She smiled and shooed him back to work. When he walked away she sighed again and looked out the window where the job wanted sign was. "Hopefully we get someone soon," she thought to herself.
