That night Kira was busy rummaging through different files on her computer when the yellow dino gem began to gleam brightly. "Stupid..." She muttered to herself as she finally found the file of Tommy. She had different pictures of him, a few songs, and one video of him all in one file. Her hazel eyes slowly ran over the icon of the video before she finally pushed play. It was of herself and him working on the dino lab after they had both finished messing around in their. Papers were scattered as well as everything else. Kira had been bored with her homework so she started to poke Dr. O's sides softly before he chased her around the lab, which started a game of tag. Maybe she could forgive him after all...They were friends. He wasn't to blame, she could have said no to becoming a Ranger, but she wanted to...she wanted to help. The dino gem gleamed again and Kira looked down. "No. It is his fault." Kira stopped the video and began to look over the images of him on the computer. Most were of him and her hugging or just being goofy together. It was sweet. Kira's eyes drifted down the the gem. Conner and Ethan must have gotten rid of whatever the problem was all ready. She sighed and lied her head down on the desk. Why was life so hard? If only she had never met him...If only they would have just stayed separate, Kira wouldn't be hurting so much. She couldn't stand loving him so much and not having him feel the same way...A tear slowly slid down her left cheek.
The morning light shone into Kira's eyes. Somehow she had managed to fall asleep at her computer, the rough lines decoration her face proof of this. After taking a moment to stretch a little Kira turned her phone, which was no vibrating violently on her desk. "Hello?" Kira whispered into the phone, a small yawn escaping her lips. "Kira, where have you been!?" Ethan's excited voice screamed into her ear. "We've been trying to reach you all night!" Kira sighed and rubbed her eyes. "Whats wrong Ethan?" She asked, hoping that he would actually calm down enough to tell her what was going on. "Dr. O is in the hospital! Just come here as soon as you can, he's hurt really badly." Kira hung up the phone and in a mad dash, made her way to the hospital.
Kira almost collided with Ethan and Conner by the way she ran into the hospital, an upset look on her face."Where is he?" She asked frantically as Ethan tried to sit her down. "He's in his room, asleep right now. We can't see him for another fifteen minutes though." Conner stood up, bags under his eyes hinting that he hadn't slept yet. "I'm going to get some food. You guys want anything?" Both Kira and Ethan shook their heads before Conner departed slowly. "What happened to him Ethan?" Kira asked as she looked at Ethan dead in the eyes. "He said he was going to your house last night to check on you. Before he hung up there was this loud crashing sound, and then the phone just went dead. The nurses said that Dr. O had been in a car crash. Another driver had past out at the wheel and swerved right in front of Dr. O's car. He barely managed to swerve around him before he crashed into a tree." Ethan looked down. "His injuries are pretty serious Kira, he may not make it." Kira turned away, the tears running down her cheeks rapidly. All of this because of her? Kira could have killed herself. When she began to sob Ethan and Conner both hugged her tightly before she stood up. "I have to see him, alone." Kira began to wipe away the tears from her face as she made her way down the white halls, her mind set on seeing Dr. O. Luckily a nurse appeared in front of her and directed her in the right direction.
Slowly Kira entered Tommy's room. He had a tube sticking from his arm, and a breathing machine attached to his mouth; steam fogging up the blue tube. Kira put a hand to her mouth and began to cry again as she watched Dr. O's chest rise and fall in the blue and white gown. Because of her he was hurt now. All because of her. She fell next to his bed, her head bent as more tears fled their way from her dark brown eyes. Clenching her fist tightly Kira slowly picked herself of the ground and extended a hand to Tommy's. "Dr. Oliver I'm so sorry..." Feeling another warm hand touch his, Tommy slowly opened his eyes. "Don't be." Tommy managed out in a faint voice, his hand gripping her's softly. "Dr. O?" Kira leaned down quickly and hugged him tightly, awaiting Tommy to yell at her. Anything, even his anger, would be better than her beating herself over the accident. "Kira, its good to see you..." Tommy gave a small cough and smirked. "Sorry I can't hug you back...sort of tied up at the moment." Tommy gestured to the needle in his arm with a smile. Kira gave a small laugh and pulled a gray chair beside her up to the bed. "Do you need anything Dr. O?" Tommy looked away, his eyes focused on the door before he turned back to her. "Kira, why were you so upset with me?" Kira turned her eyes away. What was she supposed to say? That she loved Tommy and never wanted this to happen? That she was just mad at herself for becoming stupid enough to fall in love with her teacher? More tears began their way down to her chin, only to be wiped away softly by Tommy. "Do you hate me?" Kira turned to Tommy, her eyes wild. "Never! I-..I love you!" Kira grabbed his hand softly and held onto it tightly. She needed something to hold onto as she fell down the dark pit known as love. It was never a fun journey, but most of the time the end was fantastic. "I was blaming you for...for my bad relationships, but I'm the only one to blame. Ever since we met...I, I've fallen in love with you Dr. O." Tommy smiled and turned to the door as Conner and Ethan entered happily. "Hey Dr. O!" Ethan smiled brightly, giving Tommy a tight hug. Conner watched with a smile as he looked over Dr. O's numerous injuries. "How are you?" Tommy straightened up slightly in the bed, which obviously put him in pain. "Ah, I've been better but...I'll make it." Ethan smiled and hit the side of the bed lightly. "Of course you will, you're a Ranger." Conner smirked slyly. "The oldest Ranger alive." Everyone shared a small laugh as they heard the tale from Tommy. Kira was the only one who began to get further and further away. How could she let this happen to him?
Tommy's recovery, which Kira was thankful for, was a quick one. The injuries healed up faster then anyone thought, and they had looked quite nice too. The bruises got smaller, as did the lacerations covering his arms, chest, back, and right leg. Tommy still needed to be taken care of though...to an extent. Sometimes in the morning his back would cramp up, and he would need help getting out of bed and downstairs. Sometimes his right leg would get tense and it needed to be heated and massaged. He also couldn't cook for himself...Not that the accident had caused that, he couldn't really cook to begin with. Kira took everything in stride though. She had no problem waking up extra early in the mornings to get Dr. O ready, and even driving him to school with her. Often Kira would end up staying the night as she waited well into midnight for Tommy to fall asleep. She didn't mind that at all, it made her feel important, and because she lived on her own now nobody else minded. Neither one of them had mentioned Kira's confession until one month later when Tommy was fully healed and back to fighting evil.
Kira's dino gem burned brightly, signaling that Tommy needed her quickly. She was there in just two minutes, her heart racing. Fearing the worst she entered Tommy's dark house with the spare key she had been given after he had gotten out of the hospital. "Dr. O?" Kira slowly entered, turning on the lights as she went into the living room. "Hellooo?" Kira noticed a small flicker of lights coming from outside in his backyard, so she slowly made her way out there. After sliding the glass door open Kira stepped outside, the warm night air blowing through her hair. "Tommy?" Tommy stood looking at the moon. For reasons unknown to Kira he was dressed in a nice looking suit, with a few candles around a large black blanket on the grass. "Whats going on Dr. O?" Tommy turned to her with a smile. "Please Kira, sit down." Kira looked around slowly before placing herself in the center of the blanket. As she waited for Tommy to explain things she gave the blanket a soft rub. It felt nice and smooth against her skin. Tommy walked over to Kira, instantly bringing himself to one knee. "Kira. You've been with me since I've gotten hurt. Taking care of me, making me laugh, cheering me up when I didn't think there was any hope. You were the main reason I kept trying. That day in the hospital was the best day of my entire life. At first I didn't think you would ever feel the same way, so I tried to ignore the feelings for you. It didn't work. Each time you smiled, or blushed, or simply stood in front of me, I realized again and again why I loved you. You make my world complete, Kira. When I was hurt you would always be the first person I'd see in the morning, and the last at night. Now that I'm healed, I don't want that to stop. So," Tommy pulled out a small black box from his jacket and opened it up slowly. Kira peered inside of the box and saw a slightly large yellow diamond reflecting the moonlight and the candles around them. "Kira Ann Ford, will you allow me the pleasure of being with you forever by marrying me?" Kira touched her hands to her face in awe. Finally, her dream day was coming true. She nodded excitedly as her hand was gently grasped by Tommy, the cool metal ring touching her finger softly. They both hugged each other tightly before Kira placed a soft kiss onto Tommy's lips. Tommy gently pressed her down on the blanket, his lips trailing kisses from her forehead to her neck. Kira smiled up at the moon as she felt his lips caress her neck softly. Everything was perfect.
