Connor was up early the next morning. Though the sun was out, he didn't really notice. He was too focused on what his plans for the day were, to win Kira back and finally declare his feelings for her were…before she made a big mistake…if she hadn't already…which he prayed wasn't the case.

In truth, he had barely slept at all. His impromptu workout had worn him out…but after a few hours of sleep, he had woken up again. Kira was all he could think about. He wasn't sure when he'd fallen for the yellow din ranger. When they first started out, he didn't pay her much mind. She was a girl, but that was about it…at least at the time she was. But some where along the way, he had fallen for her…and fallen hard.

After a quick shower and a rushed breakfast he slung his back pack over his shoulder and headed out to his car.

As was the routine, every morning he swung by Ethan's house. Usually, he had more patience for the computer genius and his babbling about the latest computer game, but this morning he didn't have the will to put up with the techno babble coming from the seat next to him.

"Ethan, you're my best friend...but could you please shut up?"

The blue dino ranger looked at him with a confused expression that turned to one of concern. "Um Connor? Is everything okay?"

Connor took a deep breath like Dr. O taught him to when ever he was filling stressed out and then took several more before answering.

"No Ethan, Nothing will be okay until I take care of…business."

"Um, what business? You look ready to kill…you arent' going to kill anyone are you?"

"No, and please stop me if I look like I'm going to. But no. I'm going to call out Scott Dewhearst."

"Kira's boyfriend?"

Connor ground his teeth. "Yes, I don't like what he's turned her into. I'm gonna put a stop to it today."

Ethan blew out a breath. "I'm with you on this. I hate what that jerk is doing to her too and it needs to stop. It's about time you decided to do something about it."

Connor stopped the car. "You mean to tell me that you saw it happening and didn't even think of taking action?"

Ethan shrugged his shoulders. Yes, it wasn't my place to do anything. You two belong together and I'm surprised its taken till now for you to realize it."

The red ranger sighed. Did everyone see it besides him?

When they pulled into the parking lot at Reefside High, the two teenagers saw Dr. O walking towards them. Connor pulled up the emergency break and waited for their mentor and friend to come up to them. When he did neither ranger could mistake the look of worry etched on his face.

"Have either of you seen or heard from Kira this morning?"

Connor grimaced. "No, Dr O.. The last thing we heard from her is that she was going out somewhere with her loser boyfriend.

The older man paled hoping he wasn't right. "I see. Get to class, If she doesn't show up by first period then I'll put a call in to my wife. She'll be able to figure this out."

Connor and Ethan looked at each other and then back at their mentor. They didn't want to wait to find out if their friend was okay…but they also knew that if one person could find out, it was Mrs. Oliver. And so, they trudged to class.


Kira rolled over in bed, she was still hurting from the night before…or at least her lower reigons were. She was so sore from being taken so roughly the night before, but even more then that, was the knowledge that she'd made a mistake…and a serious one at that. Then a second later she broke down rolled over in bed again and buried her head under a bunch of pillows and cried her eyes out.

When she could cry no more she fell asleep again.


Connor walked down the hallway to his locker, the entire time looking for any trace of Kira. Anything would do…even seeing her loser boyfriend…at least then, he would… Connor stopped seeing the jack ass up ahead.

In true ranger style he charged right up to him. "I'm here to call you out. Kira is mine and you have no right to her!"

Instead of the getting angry the guy just laughed at him while raising his hands in surrender. "Hey, she's all yours, I got what I wanted."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Scott snorted. "Dude. Don't tell me you don't know. Didn't your parents ever tell you about the birds and the bees? I scored with Kira…and won the bet. I'm 50 dollars richer."

Connor was livid and balled up his fists trying to control himself. "You used her? What kind of a sick loser are you?"

"It doesn't matter anymore, I won the bet, had the best sex ever and proved that I could have any girl I wanted. If you want her you can have her. All though I would wear earplugs if you…"

Scott didn't even see it coming….and the next thing he knew he was on the floor with a very pissed off Soccer player standing over him.

"If you ever want to see the light of day instead of seeing the inside of your ass you will keep your hands off her and keep your tiny little…thing inside your pants!"

Scott only smirked. "That's not what she said last night when she saw it."

Connor raised his foot to give a devastating blow only to be suddenly pushed back into the locker by a very concerned Ethan. Connor blinked at his best friend.

"What the hell are you doing?" he demanded.

"Keeping you from getting detention. Principle Randall is on her way. We can't help Kira if you're stuck in a class room after school drooling all over your desk. This is not the way Dr. O taught us to behave." he said this last part low enough so only Connor could hear.

Connor took a deep breath…looked at Scott that was still on the floor and pointed a finger at him. "You just stay away from her…or next time Ethan won't be here to stop me from killing you." then he walked away.

Dr. O frowned having heard the entire thing from around the corner. He pulled out his cell phone and pressed the speed dial button. Kim picked up the cell phone answering sleepily.

"Hello?"

"Morning Beautiful. I'm sorry to wake you so early, but I have a gut feeling you need to get over to Kira's house. It's bad."

Kim sat up in bed instantly awake. "I'm on my way."

Tommy closed the cell phone and put it back in the holster and went back to his classroom.

It was not his place to interfere with the lives of his students…unless they were going to cause themselves or others harm and even though Kira had obviously consented to the act…but Kira was a student and one of his rangers…he couldn't let this get out of hand. Luckily, Connor and Ethan met him at the door.

He looked at them both squarely as Connor opened his mouth.

"Dr. O! Kira…"

"I know Connor, I heard everything. My wife is on her way to Kira's house to see what exactly is wrong. For now, you need to focus on getting through the day and let my wife work her magic."

Connor opened his mouth to protest only to be interrupted again. "Connor, I know it's gonna be hard to concentrate, but at least go through the motions and then after school you and Ethan can come over to my house and I'll let you know what's going on…and please, don't get into anymore fights."

Connor closed his mouth again…fighting for control and then walked away to his next class.


Kim stood outside the door of the Ford residence unsure of what to do. There were no cars in the driveway…she knew that Kira's parents were gone for the weekend. So, it should be safe…she walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. When there was no answer she pulled out her own cell phone and dialed Kira's cell phone…praying that the fellow ranger would pick up. Several times the call went to voice mail. But Kim didn't give up.

Finally after the 8th time the call was answered by a very groggy sounding voice.

Hello?

"Hi Kira! Can I come up and talk with you?" she asked putting on her most caring voice.

"Mrs. Oliver?"

"Yeah, Kira. I heard you weren't at school and I wanted to check on you."

She heard the younger woman sigh tiredly. Kira knew she couldn't turn down a fellow ranger…especially an original ranger so, she walked down the stairs and opened the door.

Kim smiled at her flipping the phone closed. "Hey Kira."

The yellow dino ranger stepped aside letting her in. "Hi Mrs. O."

"Call me Kim." the older ranger sat down on the couch and looked at her. "You're not in school today…is the anything you want to talk about?"

Kira sighed looking at her lap. "There's nothing to talk about…I literally screwed up…there's no saving me now."

Kim scooter closer to her and brushed a lock of hair out of her eyes. "I gather things didn't go the way you expected them to." she asked in a soft voice.

The yellow ranger sniffled and shook her head. "He said he loved me…he was so nice to me…and…and I fell for it. I can't believe I gave it to him. Not once did he say that he loved me…when we were…doing it…and he did it so fast…as if he couldn't wait for it to be over with."

Kim bit her lip as her heart broke for the younger woman. She'd been lucky Tommy was her first….but not every woman could be as lucky as she was. Some it seemed fell through the cracks.

And so kim held Kira close working to sooth the younger woman.

I know Kira, it wasn't the smartest thing you could do…but there are worse mistakes you could make…and you will get passed it."

The younger ranger shook her head. "How can I? I can't ever show my face around school again. I…I don't want to go back."

Kim sighed. "I know you don't think you can bounce back…but you can. The gem chose you…because it sensed great inner strength. It may take a while but you will get over it."

Kira sniffled again. "I…I'll be labeled as a whore. How could any man ever look at me and think me worth it. I wanted to save myself for marriage…but there's no way to take back what I've done."

Mrs. Oliver shook her head. "No, you can't go back and change the past, unless you want to call in the Time Force Rangers and from what I know, it's against their regulations. Kira, you are a beautiful young woman. And there are plenty of good men out there for you."

Kira felt the icy coldness of her heart make itself known. She got up and started pacing around the room. And how do I know that all men aren't like him. That every guy out there isn't exactly like…him? You got lucky…and got the man of your dreams."

The former pink ranger couldn't argue with that. "You're right, I did get lucky…but it was a hard battle to get him. Before he came, many people thought I was a ditzy valley girl without a single brain cell in my head. And there were a lot of guys that tried to get to me. Jason and Zack had to both work pretty hard to keep them all at bay. And then when Tommy came all hell broke loose and he was turned evil. My heart shattered once or twice because Tommy was under the influence of that horrid witch's spell. Then Tommy had to deal with loosing his powers twice. It took a long time for us to finally make it to the alter..but what I will say, is that it was all worth it when he finally made love to me for the first time. I promise I know of at least one young man that would go out with you in a heartbeat."

Kira blushed hearing these words and found she couldn't speak at all. She sat down on the couch again and sighed heavily. "What do I do now?"

Kim gave her a hug. The first thing you can do is take a shower and then get ready for school.

With Kira out of the room, Kim pulled out her phone again and sent a text to Tommy's cell phone.

Yellow dino is coming.
