I hope you all like this!
Angel Grove Lake
Early Febuary
Dusk
The sun was just beginning to retreat, casting a soft rosy glow on the horizon. It was a beautiful sight and it shown down on the two lovebirds that were nestled together in a chaise lounge on the shore.
There was a gentle breeze that blew across the surface of the water, causing the water to lap against the shore.
Kira yawned and lay against Connor's chest. The latter looked down at the blonde beauty and kissed her head.
The calm night lulled them into a stupor. Everything was so perfect, it was almost too good to be true, Almost. The day had been a good one, they had all come to this lake (the weather had been a perfect 70 degrees) to have a picnic, The next morning, Tommy and Kim would be leaving for their week long getaway. That of course meant that Kayla would be spending the week with her brothers and sisters till her parents came back.
So this moment was just for them.
The next morning, they were meeting with the wedding planner, Callista Lenox. She had come strongly recommended by Alma, the nice elderly lady who ran the dress shop at Angel Grove Mall. That would begin the long process of planning their upcoming wedding. The date was set for March 15, the first day of spring break in their area of California.
That gave them about 2 months to pull it all together. It would be daunting, but that was nothing new to them.
That wasn't the only thing going on during this week of course. With the Olivers gone for the week, the ladies were free to plan a baby shower for Kimberly, who had just passed her 5th month of pregnancy. And the Olivers weren't the only ones who were expecting, Their friends, They had just found out a few weeks before, more precisely on Christmas Eve that Ethan and his girlfriend were expecting a baby of their own.
Just one more huge event in what they hoped would be a nice calm year.
Yeah, like that was gonna happen.
Kira yawned and looked up to see Connor smiling down at her and then he gently lifted her up to press a kiss to her lips. As he did that, Kira shifted so that she was sitting on his lap. Connor wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him while the kiss continued, gently restrained by the both of them to prevent them both going over the edge, though they both had discussed having children, they were not about to rush it. Connor didn't even have a place for them to live yet, they were still sharing a room at the Mannor that was something like a commune. Everyone whom had ever borne the mantle of The Great Power could come there to rest and relax.
They had already began their jobs at the dojo that their friends had owned and were currently taught the class for the younger kids. The two of them had already become well loved by their class and respected by the older kids. Everynight, after the dojo had closed for the day, they all went to their own private class back at the manor dojo.
Adam himself had taken Connor under his wing, as Tanya did for Kira. The training was always intense for them, which was how they liked it. Most nights they were also joined by Kyle and Autumn.
The training never slack, and neither did they. Connor was in the best shape of his life, and so was Kira.
Their lives were finally full. They were head over hills for each other, Kira's parents were in their lives and that bastard that masqueraded as Kira's dad was behind bars.
Life couldn't get much better then how it was…until of course they were married. It was an exciting time for the both of them. They would soon have their very own happy ending.
The kiss ended as Connor's cell phone went off. Kira rested her head against his chest as the former leader of the Dino Thunder team answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Hey Connor, it's Eric, I got your message. Do you really want to sell the mansion?"
"Yeah, I want to downsize and move to a smaller house. Mom and Dad's will left it to the both of us. I need your okay before I can contact the real estate office."
The line was quiet for a moment.
"I guess that would be okay, but didn't it have any value to you? I mean, we spent our childhood's there."
"There's not much about it that I even remember. The Olivers have become like parents to me, I hardly even remember mom and dad."
"If that's how you feel about it, then go ahead and sell it. Oh, and I'll be expecting half of the proceeds of the sell. The house is half mine."
"Sounds good to me, you get half of it, and the other half is mine. Did you want to come with me when I go to the office?"
"Yeah, it's been too long since we spent time together, when were you planning to go?"
"Next Monday. This week is gonna be really busy for Kira and I. We're meeting up with the wedding planner tomorrow."
"I didn't know you were getting married. Why am I just now hearing about this?"
"I only just proposed a month and a half ago. Not many people know about it. You gonna come to it?"
"Of course! You're my brother. Congrats!"
"Thanks. I'll be seeing you next week then? Say Monday at around 10?"
"I'll be there. I can't wait to meet your fiancée. Kira, isn't it?"
"Yeah and soon she'll be Mrs. Connor McKnight."
"You're such a sap."
"One of us had to be, Mr. Party Animal."
"Hey now, I've settled down a lot since becoming a wind ninja."
"I sure hope so."
Kira was beginning to doze off and Connor noticed.
"Hey, I better go. My bride is starting to fall asleep on me. We need to get home."
"Okay, bro. See you next week."
"I'll be there. Goodnight!"
"Night!"
Connor closed up his phone and then kissed Kira's head again. "Ready to go home?"
She yawned again. "Yeah, I can barely keep my eyes opened."
Connor chuckled and then waited for Kira to get up. When she did he walked her over to his car and helped her in before putting the blanket over her.
Kira was asleep within seconds.
Connor hastily fold up the chaise and then put it in the backseat before he threw the left over soda bottles into a nearby recycling bin. Once in the car, he buckled in and then started the engine.
He took only a minute before pulling out to turn on an all knight radio station. He hadn't heard the song very often, but this time I struck a chord in him.
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we Did it all for the glory of love
I think that's a nice beginning to this story, it's kinda short but the Chapters will get lengthier. I hope this story gets as much love as the other's have.
Song Credit goes to Peter Cetera. It's Called "Glory Of Love" this is the theme for the story, and I might just be using it alot. It's a wonderful song in my opinion and I think it fits the series, perfectly.
Please leave me some non flamitory reviews.
Oh, and this is kind of an afterthought, if anyone has a good ideas for this story, feel free to tell PM me!
