Beauty and the Caveman
Chapter 1: Awkward Moments
It was just another day in the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum, and Kendall Morgan was heading for another day of dinosaur research and working on new ranger technology. Her handbag was hanging around her left arm were she was also carrying her folder and was holding a cup of coffee in her right hand. As she was walking through the museum, she was surprised by Chase who was moping the floors.
"Good morning Kendal, you look lovely today," said the black ranger with a charming tone.
"Good morning Chase" Kendall answered, "Remember we head out in two hours" she said, however she had her head turned and didn't notice Koda who was distracted looking at the fossils and soon bumped into each other.
"Oh..Uh..s..Sorry..Kendall" the blue ranger replied.
"Oh. Don't worry about it" the doctor replied.
"Uh..Hi" Koda said to Kendall with an awkward smile.
"Hi" she replied with a tiny awkward smile on her face. Chase was intrigued by the situation and was starring at the two.
"Um..Remember we head out in two hours" Kendall told Koda.
"Oh..Yes..I..remember" Koda replied, "Uh..Bye" he said as he started to walk away before stopping and turning back to Kendall again, "Oh…Kendall!" he said as he turned back, "You….smell….nice…today," the caveman said while giving an awkward smile and scratching the back of his head.
Kendall was caught off guard by that comment and didn't say anything; she only blushed and smiled a little. After Koda walked away, she took a deep breath and started walking at the opposite direction still with a small smile on her face. Chase was going back and forth staring at Koda and Kendall asking himself what just happened.
"Well I'll be" he told himself.
At the Dino Bite Café
Tyler was in the kitchen of the Dino Bite Café finishing up the Bronto Burger that Kendall had ordered, "Order up!" he said while ringing the bell". Five seconds later, Shelby picked up the order.
"Thanks, man I hate the lunch rush," the pink ranger told the red ranger right before bringing the order to Kendall, "Here you go" she said
"Thank you" Kendall replied.
She then proceeded to put some mustard on her burger before taking a bite of it. As she was doing this, Koda was cleaning up one of the tables in front of her when he noticed Kendall sitting in the table in front of him. At the same time, Kendall noticed that he was looking at her, he smiled and waved hello to her and she did the same. Koda then proceeded to point out that she had something on her upper lip. Kendall touched her upper lip to discover that she had mustard on her face. Upon noticing this, she got embarrassed and cleans herself off quickly while Koda just giggles. After he finishes cleaning the table, Koda puts all of the used napkins, cups and other stuff on a tray and takes them to the trash can while passing right next Tyler and Shelby who were staring at him with their mouths and eyes open in disbelief.
"Did you see that?!" Shelby asked Tyler in disbelief.
"Yes, yes I did" Tyler answered also in disbelief.
At the Laboratory
Riley was training with his Dino saber and the tennis ball machine in the lab, while at the same time Kendall was also there working on some new ranger tech. Suddenly, one of the tennis balls that Riley had knocked away hit the table where Kendall was working this made her jump from the surprise.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" she said, "Riley take it easy. I can't afford for any of this to get messed up or I could fall behind. Developing this is not an easy task" she added.
"Oh I'm so sorry Kendall!" the green ranger said, "I didn't mean for that to happen" he added, "What exactly are you developing here?" he asked.
"I'm trying to build a new E-tracer," said Kendall.
"Oh nice, we do need one of those" Riley said, "Need any help?" he asked.
"Sure thanks" Kendall answered.
As they started to work on the E-tracer, Koda entered the lab with a worried look on his face walking towards the two.
"Hey Koda" Riley says, this make Kendall realize that Koda was next to her and jumped from surprise.
"What's up?" Riley asked
"Kendall" Koda said, this caught Kendall's attention, "I have…problem" he added, "Dinocom….I..broke it….so sorry" he said with a sad and embarrassed look on his face while scratching his neck.
"You need to be more careful. Making these is not an easy task," Riley said in an understanding tone before being stopped by Kendall.
"Riley is right, but I can see it was really an accident," Kendall said, "Don't worry, I'll fix it" she added, she understood that Koda was still working on being around delicate tech.
"Oh..thank you" Koda said with a small smile on his face.
"No problem" said Kendall also with a small smile on her face.
Riley saw that the two of them were smiling and thought to himself: "Interesting".
At the museum entrance
After the ranger came back from the dig of the day, Tyler, Shelby, Riley and Chase got together in a corner of the museum to talk about the recent behavior of Koda and Kendall.
"Hey guys, have you noticed the way Kendall acts around Koda" Shelby asked.
"Yeah its weird, Koda acts the same way around Kendall" Riley added.
"Yeah…I mean, Koda having that goofy smile is pretty normal, But Kendall?" said Chase, "Kendall usually pretty carefree when it comes to things that would embarrass most people," he added.
"Wait, you don't think" Shelby said, and the others except Tyler understood what she was referring to.
"Could it?" Chase wondered.
"Maybe" Riley added.
"Wait what are you talking about?" asked Tyler who had no clue of what they were referring too.
"Really Tyler?!" Shelby said not believing that Tyler didn't understand, "We're talking about the fact that it seems that Kendall and Koda might like each other" she added.
"Oh yeah, I knew that" Tyler said awkwardly.
"Well this is ironic" Chase whispered to Riley.
"I'll say," said Riley trying not to laugh.
After this, Shelby suggests that the guys go confront Koda about it and she will confront Kendall about it.
"Don't you think we shouldn't meddle? I mean it's their problem….right?" Riley asked.
"Oh please, do you really think either one of them will admit it to the other so easily?" said Shelby.
"Maybe, maybe not," said Riley, "but maybe we should let them sort it out on there own," he added.
"Riley makes a point," Chase said, "But they're pretty shy. I mean Kendall already ha a hard time interacting with her colleagues. I can imagine how much harder this can be for her," he added
"Yeah, and Koda is…..well…Koda" said Tyler.
"Then its settled, you guys go talk to Koda and I'll talk to Kendall" Shelby said as the rangers went on to confront their friends.
