Chapter 1: Celebration Feast Gone Wrong for One

(Scene: Party, Mirinoi/Kendrix' POV)

June 18th, Thursday Night…

It was 21:00, everyone was partying, having a celebration. Trakeena has finally been defeated, Maya, now the ex-Yellow Galaxy Ranger has her home planet back to normal. I somehow came back, after been supposedly dead for three months when I made the ultimate sacrifice to save Cassie from Psycho Pink. I wonder does she still blame herself? I have to let her know that I'm back, alive. Gonna have to put that on my tab.

Captain Stanton, who was surprised to see me, asked if I could take part in the construction of the "Terra Venture City Project" and of course, I couldn't reject. I turned to see Damon and Kai, in utter failure, flirting with the female civilians. I shook my head, they have never changed. Maya was hanging out with Karone, introducing her to Jera. Mike was somewhere making out with his new-found love Haley. Leo was… somewhere as well and me?

I was just hanging out on the side-line, trying not to be noticed. I was sitting on a tree branch that was able to take my weight, I was only about… 4 Metres high and drinking my Coke. I don't exactly drink alcohol.

"Kendrix?" A familiar voice shouted from below. Dropping my drink, I was startled in surprise, I lost my balance and fell off the tree branch and ended up landing on Leo. He grunted when I landed on him. Leo and I groaned at the same time.

"Sorry Leo. I didn't mean to land on you like that.",

"At least I broke your fall. How high were you? 4 Metres?" Leo asked groggily,

"Approximately I guess." I got off him and helped Leo up to his feet.

"What are you doing here? On your own? I've been looking for you in the crowd?",

"I'm… not exactly the party-type of person, plus, I found it a bit crowded, so I went out for some fresh air." There was awkward silence between us. I always get a but tongue-tied when I try speaking to him. I have a crush on Leo but I was too shy to admit my feelings for him.

"Um… Kendrix… I- I-" Leo couldn't finish his sentence. I got skeptical,

"What Leo, spill it." At that moment, he just suddenly kissed. It was about a minute but it just happened so fast and without thinking, I kneed him in the stomach and punched his cheek. Leo fell back, taken back by the lash.

"Damn it Kendrix! What was that for!" Leo yelled, practically in my face,

"What do you think you asshole! You can't just suddenly kiss me without warning!" I screamed,

"Oh, I'm an asshole to you!? Huh!?" I was taken over with complete anger,

"You were a pain in my ass ever since we met!",

"Wonderful, apart from being an asshole, I'm also a… a needle down your backside!" Our arguing came to a sudden halt when Maya appeared.

"What on Mirinoi is going on!? I could hear yelling a mile away and this was supposed to be celebration here!",

"Sorry Maya, blame the party-pooper over here." He said, pointing towards me,

"Oi Lion Boy! Take that back!",

"We wouldn't be arguing down each other's throats if you didn't kick my ass!" I lost it now,

"Goddammit! I'm going to bed! See you tomorrow." And I stormed off, leaving Leo and Maya, who was still extremely puzzled, with what happened between myself and Leo.

I can't believe he can still be… naïve, like a child! Uh! There are days I can't stand him! Why do I even have a crush on him? What is drawing me to him? Life is so complicated! But… grr! Damn it! I was taken up in my own anger, I can't believe I blurted out mean things in Leo's face! What is wrong with me?

(Scene: Party, Mirinoi/Maya's POV)

I glared at Leo, as he watched Kendrix storm off like lightening. Leo was shuffling uneasily on his feet, as he ruffled his brown hair, going over at what he has done.

"I can't believe it! I can't believe it!" He mumbled, "I screwed up my chance with her!" Then it struck me.

"You like Kendrix, don't you?" I questioned him. Leo looked at me sheepishly,

"Yeah, I do. If I… didn't kiss her without warning, then we wouldn't have argued like cats!" I smirked at the statement, "argued like cats" since both their Galactabeasts are in the Cat Family.

"Well then, you should go apologise to her. Tell her is was a sudden impulse of hidden feelings." I said,

"Why try to reason with a hot-headed Scientist like her? She practically hates me now!" He exclaimed. I put both hands on my hips and shook my head. He's clearly thick-headed.

"That doesn't stop you from trying to at least reason with each other. Just take it slow and don't rush. Things, complicated things like Love takes time to happen. I know Kendrix, she does like you, but for a "Hot-headed" Scientist you say, she was too scared to admit her feelings." I told him. Leo jerked his head and beamed a smile, knowing he might have a second chance.

"Really!? How do you know? Did she tell you!?",

"No, I read her diary." Leo's face fell,

"You know diaries are supposed to be private. God knows what she written in there!" I cocked my head,

"Like?" Leo scratched his head to think,

"Like… she could've written down that you're nosy and looking into her stuff without permission." I scoffed,

"Lame reason Lion Boy. Now back to Love Issues, approach Kendrix tomorrow, apologise saying that you were a jerk and an asshole etc." Leo let out a long sigh,

"You're right. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow. Thanks for the advice Maya." I smiled. I just love getting involved in Love Problems. Leo began to walk away, waving,

"G'night Maya!",

"Night Leo!" And he left me. He has to think of a way to apologise to Kendrix, before he blows her mental grenade again. Otherwise, he'll lose the love of his life forever. So it's now or never.
