Sorry if this doesn't fit in exactly with whatever the current PRDT storyline is...I am writing this after "Copy That" when Trent isn't evil anymore.

Chapter 1: You Don't See Me

"You don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could"
-"You Don't See Me" by Josie and the Pussycats

Kira Ford was standing behind the counter at Reefside Records. So far her job was turning out well and she hadn't screwed up yet. Kira loved music and enjoyed working at Reefside's music store.

Today was a slow day at Reefside Records. Kira had just come from the backroom when she noticed Trent browsing through the alternative rock section. There were several people near him, but Kira only saw Trent. Her heart sped up. Ever since Trent Hernandez arrived in Reefside, Kira had always found something intriguing about him. Finding out that he was the evil White Ranger had crushed her, but now that he wasn't evil anymore, things were finally getting back to normal. Maybe now she and Trent could even—

Kira's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she spotted a girl who had been browsing the section standing close to Trent. The two were talking and smiling. Were they on a date? Kira wondered.

"Hello, earth to Kira..."

Kira snapped out of her daze and saw her fellow Rangers and good friends Conner McKnight and Ethan James. "Oh, sorry," she muttered, prying her eyes away from Trent and the girl. "What's up?"

"Nothing," Ethan replied casually. "Conner just wanted to check up on how you're doing—"His sentence was cut short as Conner attempted to elbow him discreetly.

Kira smiled at Conner. "Working here's fine. I mean, it's hard work but I've got that paycheck to look forward to." Conner grinned and Kira found herself blushing.

"Well," said Ethan, breaking the silence. "I'm working at the Cyberspace and Kira's here at Reefside Records...What about you, McKnight?"

"Hey, I've got soccer," Conner protested.

As the two joked around, Kira's eyes drifted back to Trent and the mystery girl besides him. She managed to get a better look at the girl who she now saw was a little bit shorter than Trent. The girl had long black hair with purple streaks in it. Kira saw the two coming closer to her counter which was near the exit.

"Hey Trent," Kira called, interrupting the conversation Conner and Ethan were having.

Trent and the girl stopped. "Kira...hi," he replied uncomfortably. The girl beside him cleared her throat. "Oh, Kira this is Gwen. Gwen, this is Kira, Conner, and Ethan."

Conner immediately put on the charm and flashed a dazzling smile at Gwen. "Hey," he said smootly. Ethan rolled his eyes and Kira suddently felt a second pang of jealousy against Gwen. "So," Conner continued. "I haven't seen you around here before...You new?"

Gwen nodded. "Yeah, I just moved here and Trent agreed to show me around." She smiled at Trent, causing him to grin. Kira's eyes narrowed.

Trent felt slightly guilty because what Gwen had said wasn't exactly true. Trent originally had come to Reefside Records to see Kira, but found out she was on a break. He was waiting for her when he ran into Gwen when they both reached for the same CD. Trent became distracted instantly and after about a minute of talking, he found himself attracted to her. He almost forgot about Kira until she called out to him. Trent had agreed to show Gwen after being caught up in the moment of attraction.

"Oh," Kira managed to say. "Well, have fun." She tried not to show the confusion and hurt in her voice but she wasn't succeeding.

Trent wanted to say something to dissuade Gwen from their sightseeing tour, but before he could Gwen interrupted. "Well this has been fun, come on Trent." She grabbed his hand and they left the store.

Kira scoffed. "Can you believe her?"

Ethan raised his eyebrows. "Someone's jealous." Conner laughed. Kira glared at both of them.

"Look," Conner said trying to keep Kira from getting angrier. "Why do you even care?" He knew the answer to this question but he wanted to hear it from her. Conner had always found something different about Kira. Something good different. And he was jealous that she was paying so much attention to Trent.

"I'm not jealous," Kira replied annoyed. "I'm just...argh, never mind. I have work to do," she muttered.

Conner and Ethan left and Kira stared out the window of Reefside Records. Trent and Gwen were walking across the street and they both looked like they were having a good time. For once, Kira wanted to get away from the music.
