Disclaimer: I do not own the Power Rangers and I probably never will.
This is also my first attempt at a Power Rangers fic so please be nice about it.
Tick, Tick, Tick. Kira Ford, Conner McKnight, and Ethan James stared absentmindedly at the clock in their science class sliently thinking of their Friday night plans. Soon enough the rest of the class joined in at watching the clock and so did Dr. Tommy Oliver. Finally the clock struck 3:00 and everyone jumped up.
"No homework tonight, enjoy your weekend everyone." Tommy said as the class began filing out. "Kira, Conner, Ethan, can I see you for a minute?"
"Sure, Dr. O." Ethan said and Kira and Conner followed him.
"What's up?" Conner asked.
"I know it's Friday and everything, but I want you guys to come over tonight for a practice session. Okay?" Tommy began gathering his papers.
"Alright. Is 6:30 alright?" Kira asked while walking toward the door.
"Yeah, I have a game today." Conner added while following Kira.
"Sure, don't forget. I'll see you later." The trio walked out and into the hall.
"So, are you guys coming?" Conner asked while stepping to be in the middle of Kira and Ethan.
"Why not? I've got nothing to do." Ethan said as a smile lit up on Conner's face. Then he turned to Kira.
"Kira?"
"I wouldn't miss it." Kira stopped and walked over to her locker. Conner and Ethan followed. "So what time should we be there?" Kira asked while opening her locker and revieling a picture of the three of them. 'Does she look beautiful or what?' Conner thought as he looked at the photo.
"Conner?" Ethan waved his hand infront of Conner's face. "Earth to Conner."
"Huh? Oh. About 4:30."
"Great, see you later." Kira called as she walked down the hall and Ethan and Conner went their seperate ways.
Ethan and Kira arrived at the soccer field a few minutes early and found Conner in his red and white uniform.
"Hey, guys." Conner ran over to them.
"Hey, yourself." Kira said smiling.
"We came to say good luck before we had to sit down." Ethan chimed in.
"Yeah. Good luck." Kira hugged Conner. Then Ethan and Kira walked over to the bleachers.
"McKnight." A voice called and Conner went running toward his team.
About half way through the match, Kira and Ethan we joined by Tommy.
"What'd I miss?" He asked as sat next to Kira.
"Nothing much. Conner's team is winning."
"That's great."
After the match, cheers were heard all around and Conner ran over to his friends dripping sweat.
"Hey, you were great." Tommy commented.
"Thanks." Conner looked at Kira who was staring at him. 'He's so adorable, who knew?' Kira thought to herself when suddenly she saw Conner staring back at her.
"Nice moves." Kira quickly recovered. Conner looked at her strangly but dismissed any thoughts.
"I know, let's go to Hayley's and celebrate." Ethan suggested and the others nodded. Just as the group was walking over to their cars, Elsa appeared with some tyranodrones.
"Oh come on." Conner commented but took a step forward. "Ready guys?"
"Ready." Came three replies.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up. Ha!" The four shouted and transformed.
"Do we really have to do this today?" Kira asked sarcasticly.
"Might as well, because you won't be here tomorrow!" The tyranodrones attacked the guys and Kira went after Elsa.
"Yawn." Ethan said sarcasticly as he dodged a flying tyranodrone.
"Tyranno Staff!" Conner shouted and knocked a few drones down as Ethan kicked a couple and Tommy knocked the rest unconsious.
"Ptera Grips!" Kira called and in her hands appeared her weapon. By that time, Elsa had already got her weapon out and the two locked in battle. Kira got the upper-hand and knocked Elsa off her feet. Elsa jumped up and threw Kira over to the other rangers. Seeing she was out-numbered, Elsa disappeared promising to return.
"You okay, Kira?" Conner asked while helping her to her feet.
"Yeah." Kira smiled weakly and turned to Dr. O. "Do we still have to practice today?" she chuckled.
"Nah, I think this was enough. Let's go to Hayley's, on me." Tommy and the other's powered down and walked over to their cars. Ethan rode with Tommy and Kira rode with Conner.
"So, Dr. O, is it only me or do you see what's goin' on between Kira and Conner?" Ethan asked while flipping through the radio stations.
"Yes, Ethan, I see what's going on between the two of them. It was exactly the way things happened to me." Tommy smiled at the thought.
"Oh, yeah, that pink ranger. She seemed nice."
"Penny for your thoughts?" Conner asked Kira who was leaning her head against the window.
"What?"
"Are you alright?" Conner asked with concern.
"Yeah, fine." Kira sounded as if she was trying to convince herself, and not Conner.
"You sure? You know you can talk to me about anything."
"Well, that's just it. I mean a few months ago you barely noticed me. You were the jock who got all the girls he wanted and out of all the girls who swoon over you, you choose to consol me."
"Kira, back then I was stupid. But I did notice you." Conner said.
"Well, I guess you never noticed enough to see that I was like every other girl."
"What do you mean?" Conner asked with curiosity.
"Forget it. I can't tell the famous Conner McKnight. Just forget it." Kira turned back toward the window.
"Kira, please."
"Fine. But you have to promise not to laugh."
"Alright, I promise." Conner smiled with intrest.
"Before we became a team, I...well...I sort of had a thing for you." Kira's voice lowered.
"What!?? Really?? That's cool. I don't think that's funny." Just then Conner pulled up to Cyberspace. "Plus, I know no one can resist the McKnight charm." Conner had a huge smile on his face.
"Shut up." Kira playfully hit him in the arm.
"Owww." Conner pretended to be hurt.
"Like that hurt." Kira stepped out of the car. "And Conner, I think you've lost you charm." Kira laughed as she walked toward the door.
"Hey!" Conner called as he ran after her. Inside he found her sitting at a table with Ethan and Tommy.
"Took you long enough." Ethan said sarcasticly.
"Funny." Conner looked at Kira who couldn't help but laugh. "What's so funny, honey?"
"First, don't call me honey and second, you are an airhead, aren't you?"
"Oh, now you want to start little miss I had a crush on a jock."
"What!?" Ethan looked at Tommy with the 'I told you so' face and smiled. "Hey, Dr. O. I want to show you a new game on the computer."
"Right. We'll be back." Tommy and Ethan stood up and went over to the computers as Kira glared at Conner. Conner smiled.
"I don't believe you said that. It was just a little crush. Everyone has one on the biggest jerk...I mean jock in school."
"Oooo, testy. Sorry babe I was just kidding." Conner's smile widened.
"Don't call me babe!" Kira shouted just enough for Conner to hear and then she walked out.
"Kira." Conner mentally smacked himself and stood up.
"Nice going." Ethan called from across the room but Conner ignored him and followed Kira.
Outside, Conner found Kira sitting on the curb looking up at the night sky.
"Hey." Kira turned her head to look at him.
"Oh, it's just you. I thought you were someone important." Kira looked back at the sky.
"I'm sorry. I was just kidding. That's what friends do." Conner sat down next to her and looked up as well.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Kira asked.
"Yeah." Conner spoke while looking at Kira. "Real beautiful." Kira turned to look at him. Conner saw her and turned away quickly.
"So, you think I'm beautiful, huh?"
"No...yes." Conner ran a hand through his hair.
"So, does the almighty McKnight have a thing for a lower class civilian." Kira giggled slightly.
"Yeah, I guess. Pretty much ever since I first saw you. But I thought you would think that I'm just a dumb jock." Conner admitted.
"Well, I still think your a dumb jock." Kira smiled and leaned over and kissed him. "But, I could get used to it." Conner smiled and kissed Kira back.
"So does this mean that the most eligible babe-magnet is taken?" Kira asked while moving closer to Conner.
"Oh yeah." Conner smiled and kissed Kira once again. Then the two stood up and went back into Cyberspace.
"Wow, she must've been mad." Ethan laughed as Conner and Kira rejoined the group. Tommy saw the look in their eyes and knew what had happened.
"So, it looks like our yellow and red ranger are together." Tommy said while looking at Ethan.
"Why is it that the girl always goes for the leader?" Ethan thought while drinking a soda.
"How'd you know?" Conner asked looking surprised.
"The good doctor knows all." Ethan commented.
"I was in love once too you know." Tommy smiled and motioned for the couple to sit. A minute later Hayley came over to take their orders.
"What can I get for the happy couple?" Hayley asked while looking over at Kira and Conner.
"How did she...you...know?" Kira asked stunned.
"I can tell these things." Hayley smiled and looked at Tommy who winked.
"Hey, I saw that." Conner said but ignored it and ordered a soda while Kira ordered a water.
"Anything for you Tommy?"
"No thanks, I think it's time to go home." Tommy stood up. "I'll see you guys later." Tommy waved goodbye.
After Conner and Kira got their drinks they decided it was time to go home.
"Conner, would you mind if I rode with you two lovebirds?" Conner punched Ethan. "Oww."
"Sure, why not?" Conner laughed as he took his keys out of his pocket.
"I call shotgun!" Kira screamed while running to the passenger side door. Ethan climbed in the back and mumbled, "Women." and Kira stuck her tongue at him playfully. Soon enough Conner dropped Ethan off and arrived at Kira's house.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Conner said while leaning over to kiss Kira. Kira smiled and stepped out of the car. She waved good-bye and Conner drove off.
