A/N: This is a project with Destiny45. She's made a video that this fic accompanies; the link will be up soon. I have written this to fit as the video as much as possible and included lyrics to the song "One Fine Day" by S Club Juniors, which, in case you were wondering, isn't mine.
One Fine Day
She was bored. She lay on the couch in her San Angeles apartment, flipping through the channels in hopes of finding something mildly entertaining. So far she had failed in this task.
The channel was now on the news, and Ronny closed her eyes. She could listen to the news and pretend that she wasn't bored.
"And Will Aston, international recovery expert and former black ranger on the Operation Overdrive team, has rescued yet another priceless item-except instead of art, relics or jewels, this item was actually the kidnapped heiress to the Potter Hotel chain."
Ronny sat up slowly, staring at the TV with wide brown eyes. Will. The image had changed from the news anchor to footage of Will with a red haired girl in his arms. Instead of smiling at the cameras, he merely smirked. It was nice to know he hadn't changed, at least.
"It's what I do." The ditzy heiress beamed.
Ronny remembered how Will had saved her from the Fearcats and how fast her heart had beat he scooped her up into his arms. Nothing had ever felt more right.
One fine day
You'll look at me
And you will know our love was
Meant to be
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
She turned the TV off, slipped a black hooded sweatshirt on over her yellow tank top and grabbed her keys and cell phone. She locked the apartment behind her and stalked down the hallway to the elevator.
As she walked along the streets of San Angeles, Ronny thought about how she'd wanted to tell Will about she really felt. She'd had so many opportunities, and she choked at all of them. It was probably the only time she'd ever kept her mouth shut.
And she couldn't stop thinking about him. Every time she heard that Hannah Montana song or saw him on the news like tonight, her heart ached and she missed him.
But they were young, barely nineteen. Will was a ladies' man, Ronny recalled as she saw the image of Will with Miratrix in her mind-smiling and charming her into believing he was on her side. He wouldn't want to be tied down yet, not while he had years of freedom left to him. All Ronny could really do was hope one day he'd wake up and realize how well they suited one another.
Though I know you're the
Kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
By now, Ronny had reached the plaza where Will had saved the old man and refused help from the team. Sitting at a table in front of a small café was Will. He was smiling at his companion-the hotel heiress.
Ronny's heart shattered.
--
She spent the next day working out at the gym, smacking the punching bag in hopes that it might relieve some of the pain she was feeling. Yes, she'd been too scared to tell Will. Yes, she should never have been content to let Will run around. Yes, she missed him.
When Ronny felt she was about to collapse, she took a shower and headed for her yellow convertible in the parking lot. On the freeway, speeding past the other cars, the yellow ranger felt a little better.
Will was standing on the street outside of the apartment building. He noticeably brightened when he saw Ronny step out of her car. "Ronny."
Even hearing him say her name sent shivers down her spine. "Long time no see, Mr. Bond," the yellow ranger retorted. He cracked that smile again and hugged her.
"Can we talk?" Will asked quietly as he let her go. "It's important."
"Does your girlfriend know you're here, Will?" Ronny shot back, and she couldn't hide the jealousy in her tone. He looked momentarily hurt by this before shaking his head.
"That's what it's about. Last night, when Lisa was yakking about her daddy and how much allowance she gets, all I could think about was you. I couldn't get your face out of my mind. It's never happened before, but Ronny…"
He grabbed her face and kissed her hard on the mouth. Ronny returned it, hardly believing what he'd just said to her. Finally they pulled apart.
"So if you'll have me, I'm ready to stop running around and put my focus on the one lady who means the world to me."
That huge smile was all Will could see. "Well, Will, this has been one fine day, hasn't it?"
