The rangers and Twilight were walking to their gym class together. "So how's Striker fitting in?" Sunset asked.

"I went to the mansion this morning, he's doing really well." Twilight replied. It was true. The Triple Stryke dragon was fitting in well with the other dragons at the mansion and the people. The servants didn't seem to mind him. And Striker didn't mind them either. When they introduced him to the children, they cooed in awe at the brown and yellow dragon. He moved one of his claws to Castor and the little one cooed and touched the claw, laughing innocently. The parents aww'd at the scene.

The rangers and Twilight saw Sapphire walking towards them, looking really sad for some reason. She passed them and Rainbow called out, "Hey Sapphire!"

But Sapphire didn't seem to notice her and just kept walking. "What's wrong with her?"

"No idea, she's been like that all morning." Sunset replied.

In her classes so far, Sapphire didn't seem to notice anything around her, not even the teachers or the assignments. The teachers asked her what was wrong but she didn't answer them and kept looking down.

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Fluttershy inquired.

"No idea, but we have to find out." Rainbow said. The others agreed.

Soon, the final bell rang and the students stampeded out of the school. Sapphire sluggishly walked out of the school, still looking down in the dumps. The rangers and Twilight caught up with her. "Hey Sapphire!" Twilight called.

".... Hmm?"

"What's the matter?" Sunset questioned. "You look really sad."

"... It's nothing." she replied sorrowful.

"Sapphire, we can tell something's bothering you. But we can't help you unless you tell us what the problem is." Fluttershy cooed.

Sapphire sighed and turned to face her friends, "Alright... it's my birthday today."

"Really?!" Rainbow said. Sapphire nodded.

"But why would that make you unhappy?" Sunset asked. "it was the day you were created."

"Kinda hard to celebrate when you never actually celebrated a birthday before." Sapphire replied downhearted. The rangers and Twilight gasped softly. "You mean... you never celebrated your birthday! Ever?!" Lightning inquired.

Sapphire nodded. The gang felt horrible for her. She never had a day where she could celebrate herself in 18 years! "Anyway, I'm going home... bye guys." Turning back around, she walked away.

".... I can't believe Sapphire's never had a birthday." Spike lamented.

"Yeah. It's horrible." Sunset added. "We need to do something for her."

"Like what?" Buddy added.

"We could throw her a party for her birthday." Rainbow suggested.

"Perfect!" Sunset exclaimed. "We'll do it, tomorrow, okay?"

"Right." the others agreed.

It was agreed that Rainbow and Fluttershy would be in charge of the decorations. Buddy would handle the treats. Rhymey and Fluttershy would handle the activities and Lightning and Sunset would keep Sapphire distracted until the party. "Alright. Operation: Sunlight Party is a go!" Rainbow said.

"Yeah." They all gave high fives to each other.

The next day, the rangers explained to Mr. Grandruler, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna about their plans to give Sapphire her first, real birthday. The trio were proud of them for doing this for Sapphire and agreed to help them with the plans. "Alright, let's get started." Sunset said.

Everybody nodded and Sunset and Lightning went to find Sapphire to keep her distracted while the others prepared for the party.

Later that same day, Bronc had released another prisoner for an idea he had.

“Master Vulcan…!”

Vulcan approached the duo and he gazed at the monster; a ogre like creature, his head had multiple expressions on it; happy, sad, angry and etc. His body looked like a giant box.

“What can this creature do, Bronc?” Vulcan asked.

“Afya has the power to steal the emotions from anyone he fires at.”

Afya spoke in a thick Brooklyn accent “I’ll make them rangers fall in so deep in depression, they won't have the spirit to fight."

Bronc nodded, “I even plan to accompany him this time, if you will permit me, sir.”

Vulcan hesitated and thought it over “Very well, Bronc, but Marla shall go with you as well.”

Bronc didn’t like the sound of that, and neither did Marla. “Excuse me, but I just did my nails. Why can’t Keto go?”

“Hey!” sneered Keto “Maybe it’s about time you did something useful around here besides looking in your mirror all day.”

“Ah!” snapped Marla “Why you little…!”

“Enough!” shouted Vulcan “I said you will go with them, Marla… NOW!!”

Marla winced, and then she wined, “But my nails are still wet.”

Vulcan angrily zapped them with a blazing blast, turning them from pink to black, making her scream in horror. “And guess what I’ll roast next if you don’t get going!” thundered Vulcan, he hinted at her long pink hair.

“Okay, Okay… I’ll go!”

Bronc sighed as he and Afya prepared to depart, and Vulcan walked off growling in annoyance!

Meanwhile, Sunset and Lightning found Sapphire sitting along in the park gazebo. She looked broken hearted with her knees up against herself and her head lowered. "Poor Sapphire." Sunset whispered.

"Yeah." Lightning and Sunset approached Sapphire and sat next to her. "Hey Sapphire." Sunset greeted. Sapphire's head perked up.

"Oh... hi."

"Sapphire, we hate seeing you like this. All gloomy and sad." Lightning said. "We want our happy Sapphire back."

"We ant our bubbly and cheery Sapphire back." Sunset teased, getting a blush from Sapphire. "Hehehe, I'm bubbly." she smiled.

"There's the Sapphire we love." Lightning cooed.

Sapphire grinned an hugged her friends. Unfortunately, the moment was ruined when they heard yelling.

"You are so stupid!"

"You are such an idiot!"

They saw people in the distance with a red mist surrounding their bodies. "What's going on?" Lightning asked.

That's when Afya appeared. "Ahhh, fighting and anger. I love it!"

"Hey!" He turned and face the three friends.

"Ahhh and my main targets are here." He sent a blast at the three who leaped out of the way. That's when Rainbow and the others appeared on the scene.

“It’s Morphin’ Time!” Sunset said.

“Starfleet Magic… Power On!!”

"Cosmic Comet... Power On!"

"Lingos Attack!" A swarm of Lingos rose and charged the rangers and they charged them. The rangers easily dealt with the Lingos and went after Afya. "Time to be blue!" he blasted the rangers, except for Sapphire and they all suddenly started shouting at each other. "Who are you looking at?" Sunset snarled.

"You that's who!" Lightning said.

"Why you little-" Buddy said and the five started waling on each other.

"Oh no!" Spike said. "Now only Sapphire's left!"

"Twilight calculated the magic. "That spell is really strong. We need something that can break it."

"But what can do that?" Celesto wondered. Sapphire could only watch as her friends kept wailing on each other while Afya laughed with glee. "Anger and bad emotions. That's what I like."

"Anger?" Sapphire thought. If Afya gets his powers from negative emotions then Sapphire could counter that with her bubbly emotions. But she needed to spread to the whole area. But how?

"... My singing magic!"

"Huh?" Afya wondered. "What are you up to?"

"This." Happy music began playing and Sapphire started to sing.

She walked over to the people infected by the spell.

A stream of magic came out of the chest and circled the people. Instantly the red mist vanished and their eyes no longer glowed red. They started smiling at one another.

She went around the area, cancelling the spell Afya had casted, much to his horror. "Hey, stop that."

She went over to the other rangers who stopped fighting when they heard her singing. The red surrounding their bodies went away and they felt happy.

Soon she had the whole area, beaming with happiness. On her left wrist another bracelet appeared this time it had a blue balloon in the middle.

The song powered up the element along with everybody singing along. It glowed brighter and brighter.

The Element blasted Afya with it's magic. He began to spark up, getting ready to blow.

Back at the Tower, "Keto." Vulcan called.

"Right." He pointed his staff out the window. "FORTISSIMO!" his sent his mugic to Mystic Island...

... and made Afya grow gigantic.

"Time for the party!" he bellowed. The rangers grunted while the civilians ran for safety.

“Launch Star Jets!”

“Summon Zords!”

As the base, the jets were already well prepped up and launched at once through the tunnel.

“Comet Striker, Armor up!” Lightning shouted as he grew big and his armor encased him.

"Dire Wolf Zord, I choose you!" The huge Zord burst from it's hiding place and charged onto the scene, beaming Sapphire into her cockpit.

“Zords Combine!”

“Jet-Star Megazord… Ready!”

“Comet Striker… Ready!”

Afya started off with firing at the Zords, but Dire Wolf Zord howled and sent sonic waves towards the attack, countering it and shielding them all from the attack. "Hey, no fair!" Afya whined

. The Jet Star megazord and Lightning charged forth. The three were throwing punches to each other. Finally, Afya had enough, "Take this." He fired his spell at them, striking them hard. The controls went red and the two zords began fighting each other. "Not this again." Lightning groaned.

Dire Wolf Zord tried to break them up but the Jet Star Megazord slashed it away with the Star Saber. "Agh!"

"Sapphire!" the rangers cried. Dire Wolf Zord shook it off. "Now what, boy?"

The Zord howled loudly into the air, like a distress call. Just then another Zord flew over the battle. This one was a large bird with a red body with yellow markings symbolizing flames. "Woah, a Phoenix Zord!"

The large bird hovered above the fighting megazords and cried majestically, sending magical waves, breaking the spell on them. Afya wasn't amused. "You little pest!" He fired upon the Zord but the Zord flew up into the sky and came dove towards him, covering itself in fire energy.

KAPOW!

Afya was sent flying backwards and the Zord hovered in front of the team, squawking majestically. “Great going.” said Sunset “Now let’s finish him! Charge up Star blast!”

“Energy Charge, Ready!”

“Star Blast-Wave… Fire!!”

KAPOW! The strong energy wave fired, striking the monster hard. “I HAVE LOST MY EMOTIONS!" he shouted, and he exploded and was imprisoned.

The rangers and Zords rejoiced and Sunset made the call. "Monster Captured, Mission Complete!"

Back at the Tower, Vulcan wasn't happy.

"Now the rangers have a new Zord on their side!" he yelled. The minions cowered in fear at his anger.

"A thousand pardons, Master." Keto squeaked.

Vulcan growled angrily and the minions took that as a sign to run for the hills. They dashed out of the room, before Vulcan could fry them. "I'll get you, rangers. One day."

Dusk had fallen and Sunset had told Sapphire to follow her to the mansion. The reason why, she didn't say except, “You’ll see.” Sapphire followed her into the living room which was dark for some reason. “Ummm, Sunset, what’s going on?” she asked but she got no answer, “Sunset? Hello?”

Suddenly the lights came on and the rangers, all the adults and Twilight and her family, popped out yelling, “SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAPPHIRE!” Sapphire's face lit up with excitement and disbelief. The whole room was completely covered in streamers, balloons and decorations. There was a table with all sorts of refreshments and snacks on it. “What’s this?” she asked.

“It’s your birthday party, silly.” Lightning stated.

“My birthday party?” Sapphire repeated.

“We wanted to give you your first birthday party true,
So we decided to throw this party for you.” Rhymey replied.

Sapphire was really touched by this, “Aww guys, thank you.” she praised.

All her friends smiled at her, “Well what are we waiting for LET’S PARTY!” Sunset cried. Everybody cheered in agreement.

Music played and the rangers tossed Sapphire in the air as she laughed. Sapphire received all kinds of presents from her friends. The rangers all made her one singular necklace with gems in the color of their respective suits on them and they each got her individual gifts. Lightning got her a book on animals. Fluttershy brought her a necklace with a small charm shaped like Snowflake on it. Rhymey recited a poem he wrote about how great Sapphire was. Buddy made her a flower veil, like the kind some brides wear during a wedding. And Rainbow got a bracelet and small kitten charms on it. Celesto, Celestia and Luna got her new clothes. "I love them, thank you." Sapphire praised.

They all played Just Dance on Celesto’s tv. Sapphire defeated Buddy and Rhymey... twice and the boys were not amused. “OH COME ON!” Buddy cried. “I swear you keep cheating!”

"How can this be
What's wrong with me?" Rhymey added.

"She’s just way better at this game then you two.” Sunset teased. Buddy and Rhymey growled.

Everybody laughed.

Next it was Sapphire verses Lightning Dawn.... Sapphire won.

Rainbow was on the floor, on her back laughing at the top of her lungs. “Lightning! You suck!” Rainbow yelled while laughing. “Shut up Rainbow!” Lightning replied.

After that, they all had cake.

While Fluttershy and Rhymey were eating, cake flew onto their faces and then cake flew onto Celesto and Celestia’s faces as well.

“Huh?” Everybody looked and saw Rainbow laughing while her hand was covered in cake crumbs.

Sapphire looked at Rainbow with a smirk and a piece of cake in her hand as well as the others. Rainbow smiled nervously and the cake flew all over the room and everybody had a good laugh.

Then everybody did a conga line all around the living room.

After partying, everybody settled down for some refreshments. Spike, Snowflake and Midnight tried to sneak a bite of Celestia’s burger, but they got caught. “Nice try, you three.” Celestia teased.

The dragons growled like if they were saying 'darn'. Spike whimpered and used his puppy dog eyes on Celestia, but she didn’t fall for that even other. Sapphire laughed at her mischievous dog. “Guys, thanks for doing this for me.” Sapphire praised.

“No problem, Sapphire. Everybody deserves to celebrate their birthday.” Lightning stated.

“Well this has been the best birthday ever!” Sapphire declared and her friends couldn’t be happier.

"Well... how about we make this birthday even more better." Celesto said.

Everybody looked at him , confused. His wife brought out some papers and handed them to Sapphire with a small grin on her face, "What's this?"

Sapphire took the papers and she read them. Her eyes widened in shock. "Sapphire... what is it?" Lightning asked.

"Sapphire." Celestia said. Sapphire looked up from the papers. "We know that you didn't have any parents for many years." Celesto started. "We don't know how lonely that must have felt for you."

"So, we want to give you a family of your own; ours." Celestia added. The rangers gasped softly.

Sapphire was at a lost of words. "R-Really?"

Celestia, Celesto and Luna nodded. Sapphire's eyes teared up and she hugged the three.

"Y-e-es!" she sobbed happily. The team, Twilight, Cadence and Shining Armor all cheered happily. Spike howled in addition. "Thank you." she whispered.

Celestia and Celesto grinned happily. "Your welcome." Luna smiled at the three of them. Now Sapphire has something that she's hasn't had in many, many years. A Family.
