Author's Note: I don't own Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, nor do I own Kelly Clarkson's song Miss Independent. I'm just borrowing them for the story. This is a sequel to Together
Summery: This takes placed a few months after Trent broke up with Kira and now she's starting to have feelings for the person that took care of her when she needed a shoulder to lean on. She just can't get the words out.
Miss Independent
Connor came into Hayley's Cyberspace to find Kira talking with Ethan. "Hey, guys," he greeted. They looked up at him and they greeted him. "What's going on?" He asked.
"Nothing much, just trying to enjoy sometime to ourselves before getting ready for the tests tomorrow," Kira replied.
"Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get that Social Studies paper done," he stated.
"See ya," Ethan commented.
Connor left the café, not knowing that Kira was watching him leave. Ethan laughed as he waved a hand over her face. "Earth to Kira, welcome back," he teased. Kira glared at him before getting up from her chair.
"I have to go home, I have to get some studying done," she informed.
"See you both tomorrow," Ethan stated.
Kira left the café, hoping she could catch Connor.
When she exited the café, she saw that Connor was already gone. She sighed and decided to head home anyways.
The next day at school, Kira was having a hard time getting her locker open and when she finally got it open, everything fell to the floor. "Great," she groaned.
"Here, let me help you," Connor offered.
Kira smiled as he helped her gather her books and things. "Are you having a rough day today?" He asked.
"Just a bit," she replied.
Just then, the warning bell went off. "Well, I better get to class, I'll see you later," he stated. Kira nodded and watched him leave. She groaned and wanted to slam her head in her locker.
"Why can't I say it? Why?" She questioned herself.
She quickly gathered everything and went to class.
As she sat down, she looked over at Connor and smiled before class started.
After school that day, Kira was walking out of the school when Connor walked over to her. "Hey, would you like a ride home?" He asked.
"Thanks, but I can get home on my own," she replied.
"Are you sure? 'Cause I could just drop you off," he assured.
"No…no, I'm fine," she stammered.
"Okay, I'll see you later."
Kira nodded and then she felt like kicking herself all over again. She did it again. She had to tell him someway, she just didn't know how. She then ran home, she knew exactly what to do.
(One Week Later)
Connor came into the café and Trent walked over to him. "Hey, what's up?" He asked.
"Kira asked me to meet her here," Connor replied.
"Well, she's getting ready to perform. You should wait until after her performance to see what she wants."
Connor nodded before sitting down to watch Kira's performance. Kira came up onstage and smiled at Connor.
Miss Independent
Miss Self-sufficient
Miss Keep-your-distance,
Nnnn
Miss Unafraid
Miss Out-of-my-way
Miss, Don't-let-a-man,-interfere,
No…… Miss On-her-own
Miss Almost-grown
Miss Never,-let-a-man,-help-her-off-her-throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little Miss Apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in Love
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open the door
Surprise...It's time
To feel...what's Real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need for me to miss him
Goodbye ...on you
Real Love ...is true.
Misguided Heart
Miss Play-It-Smart
Miss If-you-wanna-use-that-line-you-better not - start,
No...
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And Miss Miss-decided-not-to-miss-out-of-true-love
So, by changing a misconception
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in Love
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open the door
Surprise...It's time
To feel...what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need for me to miss him
Goodbye ...on you
Real Love ...is true.
Why Miss Independent walked away?
No talk for Love that came her way
She looked in the mirror,
And thought today
What happened to Miss No-longer-afraid
What took some time for Love to see
How beautiful Love could truly be
No more talk of what can that "Be" mean
I'm so glad I finally feel
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open the door
Surprise...It's time
To feel...what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need for me to miss him
Goodbye...on you
Real Love...is true
Miss Independent
Kira got off stage and walked over to Connor, who grabbed her hand and led her outside.
When they came outside, Connor was just grinning at her. "Is this the reason why you've been acting weird?" He asked. She nodded and then she felt embarrassed. She lowered her head, but Connor lifted her chin up and pressed his forehead against hers. "I love you too," he admitted. She placed her arms around his neck and they shared a kiss. However, while they were sharing their kiss, they didn't know that their teacher/friend walking towards the café with his wife next to him.
"It's about time she said something," he stated.
"Give her a break, I remember a certain Ranger having a hard time admitting his feelings," his wife teased.
"All right, Kim, get in there," he laughed.
Connor and Kira didn't hear a single word they had said, the only thing that mattered to them was that they had confessed their feelings at last.
