Merrick had came back to visit with his wolf companion which came as a surprise and shock.

Alyssa waking up with dark rings under her eyes as she was still not used to having the duke org sleep in her house. She could have sworn she was out of her mind to even consider the idea of Zen-Aku sleeping in the same building. Yet it was in a way... comforting.

The wolf had changed out of his armour, but still wore clothes that are all black to appeal for his armour. It was humorous to the white ranger while the duke org had looked away with an unsatisfied look. The white ranger had finished making breakfast whilst the two ate in silence.

Alyssa had not thought this through at all. She offered the duke org to sleep with her in the same bed but now... She nor the wolf could sleep at all. The white ranger's smell had filled his nose as Zen-Aku's fur rubbed along her backside, providing blushes from both sides. They squinted their eyes closed and both hoped they'd fall asleep.

Alyssa had been invited to a party by her friends and said to bring along a friend. She had planned to ask one of the other rangers, but all were at work that day and Alyssa had to turn to one individual. Zen-Aku had refused at first but had given in when she gave him the puppy dog look which melted his heart. When he did arrive, many asked what he was, but when they both entered, he disappeared into the back whilst he watched her having fun.

The ex-ranger had stayed in bed the morning with an extreme hangover as Zen-Aku was the one that brought her home. Zen-Aku had to stay by her side as she called for the ex-yellow ranger to come help. Taylor soon arrived, but was surprised to be greeted by the duke org. No one had filled her in on the news yet so it was an awkward greeting.

Location: Alyssa's Table

The time of the ranger's birthday came as no one showed up this year. Everyone was faraway from where she was as she sat at her dinner table, with her cake in front of her, untouched. As she slept on her arms, hoping someone would miraculously show up, Zen watched as he knew she was still waiting. It wasn't until the sound of fire being lit reached Alyssa's ears that she lifted her head up. She noticed how the lights were off and the only source of light was the burning candles on her cake. She looked over to the wolf who laid back down on the couch and had secretly lit the candles in an instant.

The ranger smiled as she wiped away at the small tears at the end of her eyes before getting up, picking her cake up as well and made her way to the living room table. The wolf sat up as he was confused of the action. She placed the cake in between them before thanking the wolf. She clutched her hands together as she prayed for her wish before blowing her candles out.

As the white ranger woke up, she is surprised to find Zen-Aku by the window, in awe at the white setting outside. From the look of the duke org's face, he wanted to get outside as soon as possible. She giggled at the thought before asking if he wanted to take a look. He blushed, but nodded slowly at the idea.

As Alyssa had started her morning routine, Zen-Aku waited with little patience as he wanted to take a look at the new season. Once done with her food, she quickly got changed into something much warmer before leading the way outside. She instructed to the wolf to hide within the tree tops while following her to keep from attracting people. He followed behind as the girl led him to a secluded area.

Once they had reached the destination, Alyssa had called out to him as he instantly jumped to her side. She was surprised before she gave him the okay. As the snow kept going, the wolf had first observed it before he investigated it and then finally played in it like a child. As the white ranger watched from the sidelines, a smile crept up her face.

The rangers had came back together as Taylor had filled them in about the Zen-Aku business. Max and Danny were surprised to find the duke org himself wear casual clothes rather than armour. Cole had came back, with an apology of course, brought on by Taylor who dragged him along. Merrick returned as he was given friendly hugs from the two females. They had decorated the house with Christmas cheer and had hung a mistletoe under the fireplace.

As Max had insisted on taking a picture of the group and they waited for the shutter, Alyssa had whispered to the wolf to lean closer as she wanted to say something. He silently abided with the instructions and leaned lower only to be met with a warm feeling as the shutter had went off.

It was a surprise to all when they had a closer look to the photo as it shown the white ranger pressing her lips on the mask of the duke org.

As the two lovers watch from inside the house, the beautiful display of fireworks that stretched across the sky. They turned to each other as the white ranger wrapped her arms around the duke org's neck and planted a deep kiss on his muzzle.

The wolf taken-a-back by the kiss, wraps his arms around her body and kisses back. He lowers his head, deepening the kiss even more as a small tear had rolled down the female's face.
