CHAPTER 1 First Sightings
Conner sighed as he stirred his smoothie with his straw. It was three weeks into summer vacation and he was miserable. It wasn't from lack of a social life. All the rangers, ninja, dino, and otherwise spent plenty of time together. Kira and Trent had just found out they were expecting their first child, along with Kim and Tommy expecting too. Hunter and Leila were enjoying married life. They had yet to return to work at the Thunder Academy, so whenever they weren't hanging out with their friends, they were wrapped up in each other. Not that Conner was interested in details.
No, Conner was miserable because it seemed like everyone had someone but him. Dustin was dating a girl named Marah, whom he had never met. Cam and Shane didn't have anyone serious but from what he had heard, they had become big dating scene guys lately. Blake rubbed it off to them wanting to find the right girls. Devin, oddly enough, had actually hooked up with Cassidy right before summer had started. Everyone was freaked out at first by the hook up, but they soon saw how right they were for each other. Ethan had met a girl at school who he claimed he wasn't dating, but everyone else thought otherwise. That only left him and Hayley single.
"Hey Conner, can I ask you a big favor?" Hayley suddenly asked, breaking Conner out of his trance.
"Yea sure," he said quietly.
"Can you run the café for a few hours?" Hayley asked, looking a little pleadingly. Conner frowned.
"Not that I mind, but what about Trent or Tommy?" Conner asked.
"Well, the last time Trent left Tommy in charge, things got a little crazy here. And Trent's got an appointment with Kira to check on the baby, then he's going to meet with a contractor to build on a new room," Hayley explained. Conner gave her a suspicious look.
"And what are you up to in that get up?" Conner asked, just noticing that Hayley was a little dressed up. Hayley looked really embarrassed.
"I'm having a lunch date," she said quietly. Conner was a little surprised but smirked.
"With who?" he asked.
"Anton Mercer," Hayley said. Conner's face fell.
"WHAT?!" he shrieked, gaining more attention than he wanted.
"I know, I know. I never saw myself dating him either but he's really come around in the last few years and I thought the least I could do was give him a chance," Hayley said, still a little embarrassed.
"What do Leila and Trent have to say, just out of curiosity?" Conner asked.
"Not that it would change their dad from having a life of his own, but they're both fine with it. I talked to them myself," Hayley said. Conner sighed.
"Okay, okay, I'll watch the shop," Conner said. Hayley smiled wide.
"Thank you, I owe you," she said before hugging him and running out the door. Conner walked behind the counter and put on an apron.
"That just leaves me," he said quietly to himself. Ten minutes passed with a few orders but nothing major happened. Conner went to the back to get some more supplies for the smoothies. While he was back there, a huge gang of thugs came into the café, looking around.
"Hey service! SERVICE!!" one called, banging jokingly on the counter. Conner came out from the back, eyeing the group carefully.
"May I help you?" he asked politely.
"Yea pretty boy. You can hand over the keys to this place so we can throw the best rave the town has seen tonight," said another thug.
"Not gonna happen. So either order something or get out," Conner said warningly. One thug reached across the counter and grabbed Conner's collar, jerking him forward.
"What was that punk?" he asked. Conner head banged the guy and he tumbled backwards while Conner was not even phased. Conner front flipped over the counter and faced the group in a fighting stance.
"Want some more?" Conner threatened.
"What's going on?" came a female voice. The entire group turned to see a girl about Conner's age standing in front of the door. Conner had to keep himself from falling over at how pretty she was. The thugs immediately drew their attention.
"Hey there cutie. Want to have some fun with me tonight?" asked one thug, putting his arm around her shoulder and looking her over. The girl smirked and gripped his hand, flipping him over.
"Now that was fun," she said sarcastically. The thugs were immediately angered again and started fighting both the girl and Conner. The girl delivered a low spinning heel kick, taking out four thugs at once. Conner delivered a double split jump kick, taking out two thugs. He landed on his feet and punched one thug in front of him before delivering a back kick to a guy behind him. The fight continued until three uniformed officers ran in. They tackled the remaining thugs and cuffed all of them.
"Good job Conner," one of them said, knowing Conner from ranger news.
"Thanks, but I had some help," Conner said, pointing to the girl. She smiled, then knelt down to one knee. She whistled and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, a golden retriever ran through the open door and sat down next to the girl. It had something in her mouth which the girl retrieved.
"Good girl Daisy," she said, opening the object. Every guy there was beyond shocked when they saw it was stick for blind people.
"You're blind?!" Conner asked. The girl chuckled.
"No I'm Chloe, but yes I am blind," she said.
"We got beat by a blind girl," the thugs echoed shamelessly as the police escorted them out.
"That was some nice fighting," Conner said, making conversation.
"For a blind girl?" Chloe asked.
"For anybody. You should meet one of my old teachers, he's really into martial arts," Conner said.
"Did he turn you on to it?" Chloe asked.
"Yea," Conner said. Chloe smirked and reached into her pocket, pulling out a pen and a pad. Conner watched her write something on it and then rip the paper out, handing it to him.
"That's my address and number. Come get me when I can meet this teacher," she said smiling. Conner smirked, looking from the paper to the pretty girl in front of him. He couldn't get over how beautiful she was. Daisy suddenly barked, snapping both of them out of the silent trance.
"Uh, can I get a peach smoothie to go?" Chloe asked.
"Yea, sure," Conner said, walking back to the counter. As he got the ingredients together, he looked back at Chloe.
"Yes!" he whispered excitedly, smiling all the way.
Okay, they've met! How will things work out between them? Will any new ranger business get in the way? Or will it work out without interference? Will Chloe's blindness get in the way of things? If so, from who's point of view? Find out in Chapter 2.
