I don't own anything. The characters aren't mine.

We all search for something. We just don't know what we're searching for.

And so was Dillon, he didn't know, what he was searching for. He just had a feeling telling him, that there was something worth to be found.

But instead of finding, what he was searching for, he found Corinth. Though he was glad he found it – he had been running out of food and oil at that time – he had been sure, it hadn't been the end of his quest.

By now, he was glad, he had found Corinth. Sure, he wouldn't admit it to the others. But secretly he was damn sure grateful for that.

A few weeks have been passing, since he arrived here and became the black ranger.

And a lot of things had happened.

He met the rangers for the first time.

He got into prison – including prisonfights.

He got rescued out of prison…

… sure he wouldn't have needed someone getting him out of there, as he could handle the bad guys well on his own. But Ziggy?... sure had needed to be rescued. What could he say? He had to bring Ziggy with him. Good choice in the end, as he became their last ranger…Well, thinking about it…was it really a good choice?…at least he has the heart at the right place and is really trying his best. More than he could say about himself at the moment…But to continue…

Then he became a member of the team: Ranger Series Operator Black. Fought many fights destroying attack bots.

And not to forget, he had met Summer.

The yellow ranger, he had saved at first. And she had kind of returned the favor as she had him gotten out of prison.

There was something about her. When they first met, he had hoped that it wouldn't be the last time.

But he had to remind himself that his search still had to be finished. So he thought, the less time he spent with the guys and Summer, the easier would it be to leave them behind. Though, in the end, he had decided to stay. He was nearly outside the city, but hearing the cries of the nearly defeated rangers through the radio he had to turn around and help them.

And now? Now he is sitting in the garage…waiting for something he didn't want to happen.

He never thought would happen!

But unfortunately is about to happen:

Summer's wedding.

He stood up against her parents, tried to talk to her, but did it work? No, in the end, it hadn't changed a thing.

He could remember his discussion with summer the night before. The other guys had been out, buying / lending something special for this occasion. He didn't think about going with them. Why should he? Just for one day, for something he didn't even appreciate?

He walked to Summer's room and knocked at her door.

"Summer are you in there?"

"Yes, come in Dillon. You need something for tomorrow?"

Dillon stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. Summer was sitting on her bed, doing nail polishing, surely to look fine for tomorrow.

"No…I mean... Yes… I kind of do."

Summer stopped doing her nail polishing, as she was finished just now, and looked confused.

"Yes, No, what do you mean?"

"I mean, I need to talk to you," he told her in a serious voice.

"Ok…what is it?"

She looked a little bit confused, not sure, what to expect.

"You can't marry this guy! He is so…ok… I don't know what he is, but you can't do this! Not if you're not happy with this choice for yourself!"

"You know, I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to!"

"Then don't! We can still change it! You can change it, I mean!"

Summer was getting a little bit angry. What was he thinking? That she liked this guy? That she wanted to be married tomorrow? No way! She would escape, if it was a choice. But it wasn't! The responsibility for everything was laying on her in this situation! Didn't he understand it? That she was doing it for the team?

"Dillon, don't you understand? I have no choice! The Team is relying on me! I do it for you guys! So we get the diamond and can defeat Venjix!

And I am doing it for my parents! They are relying on me, too. You want to know the reason why? They're broke! They don't have any money left! Besides, I promised them!"

Dillon looked in her face and realized the pain, she was in. He understood her reasons on the one hand, on the other he still wanted to persuade her! It was a real Dilemma!

And poor Summer, in the middle of it.

"Ok, I understand. But what about you Summer? What about your feelings? What do you want? I understand your intentions. But isn't there a better solution?"

Summer was really touched by Dillon's words. He was the first one, who had asked her what she wanted to do. He had asked her about her feelings. What did she want? She didn't know it… all she knew, she didn't want to be with Chas…or at that stupid wedding…

Could she really change it? Was there anything she could do?

Confused she stood up and put her nail polishing equipment away. As she turned around, Dillon was only a few feet away from her. But what could she do?

"What can I do? I have no choice."

Well, I could beat him up so he wouldn't be able to stand and surely not be able to marry like that. But no, that wouldn't help Summer… thought Dillon, and so he answered:

"I don't know, but something else has to be done! It is your life and you are deciding, who you are spending it with. I don't care who it is…", Dillon stopped and Summer could see that he was thinking hard. Like he wanted to say something, but didn't know how. "…but not some stupid guy, your parents had chosen as you were kids!", Dillon continued. But if he would tell the truth, he didn't like the idea of her with any other guy except maybe him…No! He had to stop thinking that way. Tomorrow she would be married and he would only make a fool out of himself.

It was quiet for a few seconds and they just looked into each other's eyes. But suddenly Summer's face lit up and she even smiled a bit. "Thank you Dillon. It means a lot to me, that you are honest with me. I know, what you mean. But I'm afraid it isn't that easy. I have to do this even though I hate it…Yes I hate to do it. I could imagine waiting for the right person to marry one day. But you don't always get what you want. That's life – and it isn't always fair. I'm glad that you are my friend. Though the others are also my friends, they haven't told me what you told me. Again, thank you a lot for that. No one asked me what I would like to do, but you did. Thank you for that.

With that they had gone to her door, knowing without speaking loud, that their short talk had been over. He still hadn't liked her choice, but as he said, it was her life, and if she wanted to do this…

But before she closed the door behind him, she had given him a light kiss on his cheek and whispered once again: "Thank you."

And so he was sitting here.

Feeling bad for being unable to help her.

Trying not to jump up and kick that Chas-guy who was polishing his sword… he surely didn't even know how to use a sword.

But he, Dillon, had gotten one thing from Summer, Chas would never get. Though she would be his wife, he would never get a soft kiss on his cheek, like she had given him last night.

Suddenly the music began playing and the door opened to reveal the bride in white.

All heads turned in that direction and though they all couldn't see her face, Dillon was sure she wasn't the happy bride she should be.

That was my story. It happened to came into my mind, while I should have been learning instead ;-) but I couldn't concentrate and decided I had to write it (before I would be able to learn again…)

Sorry for my mistakes in grammar,… I hope there haven't been too much.

But I love this language and I wanted to write it in English as the stories I have been reading here have also been in English.

Maybe I will write a short continuation. (If I write it, it will probably be taking place after the "not happened wedding") So just tell me, if you would like me to write a continuation.

oh... and please review!
