Hey guys I bought a iBook in Febuary and it has been running great except lately, the iBook's screen for some reason will blink, like the brightness is changing. It has gotten pretty regular, should I be worried about my screen going out and losing my iBook or should I call Apple and see if they will replace it.

Call Apple, something is wrong... Make them fix it while it's still under warranty.

My G3 had the same problem. The screen eventually died. Unfortunately it was out of warranty and the display module cost almost the same as a new iBook back then.

Since you're still under warranty... send it back AFTER you've got your data backed up. I'd also take out everything extra you've got in there (this basically means any extra RAM you've put there, since Airport is included nowadays).
