When in Italics I will be directing it from Kira's past self (The one this is happening to.)

Enjoy


She knew exactly what was going to happen here. This was where it happened. Not just any it the real IT.

She was sure that Josh knew what was going to happen here too.

"Why are we here if you already know what's going to happen?" She asked him.

He seemed to ponder this for a moment.

"Because I only know the big picture, I don't know what caused it." He replied.

The beach sand was warm. It had been several weeks since Mesogog was destroyed and the group was slowly falling apart.

So she and Dr. Oliver told them all to come the beach for a beach day. They would grill, play some games, and have fun. Everyone was there: Randall, who refused to swim in anything less than a one piece, Anton Mercer, Trent, Ethan, Dr. O, Hayley, and, of course, Connor. She refused to put into words but somewhere along the journey she began to have a crush on Connor. She seemed to have woken up one morning and realized that Trent was not the only guy she liked.

Her new feelings about Connor made her uneasy about how she felt about Trent. Then she found out that Trent was the White Ranger and Kira was determined to stop liking Connor, but no luck.

She had been on the edge of a nervous breakdown when Connor and Ethan fell from their zords after they were sacrificed to destroy Zeltrax's monster.


[Flashback within a Flashback]

"Connor You've got to sacrifice ALL the zords, it's the only way!" Dr. Oliver told them.

She heard Connor's voice come out of Dr. O's morpher

"Engage Auto Destruct! Good bye old friends."

For a horrible two minutes she thought that he was talking to them. Only after did she realize he was saying goodbye to the zords.

"Get out of there!" Tommy yelled.

Connor's screaming came out from the speaker and was silenced as the zords fell.

KABOOM!

"Guys! No..." Tommy said, in defeat.

"Where are they?" Kira demanded.

She saw a hint of blue and she started to hope.

"Ethan? Connor!" She ran to them as the other rangers and Elsa ran behind her.

{End}


The day went by slowly. She joined in on some of the activities, but she wasn't much of a swimmer, instead she just sat on a towel in her yellow bikini.

Trent, and Ethan left at one point to go to the bathroom and Tommy had to check his jeep for something. Anton and Randall walked down the beach in the opposite direction and soon it was just her and Connor.

Except Connor was nowhere to be found.

"Connor?" She asked out loud. She was worried; he hadn't said anything about leaving.

Just then two strong arms lifted her up and ran to the water.

"Ah!" She screamed.

"She turned her head to see Connor laughing as he ran. with her in his arms, and threw her into the lake.

But Kira had been expecting a tactic, sure she had thought it would have been Trent but she liked Connor too so it didn't matter, she grabbed around his neck and when he tried to throw her in she had just enough hold on him to drag him down with her.

They both came up for air at the same time.

"Connor! You... you..." She didn't even know what to say.

He looked into her eyes and found out that he couldn't find the words to say either.

For a minute, maybe, they looked at each other.

Without thinking, Kira leaned in and kissed him.

She broke the kiss when she realized what she had just done.

But Connor had already leaned back in for another kiss.

They stopped kissing and looked at each other, neither said a word for the rest of the day.

When Trent asked why they were so quiet, neither answered him, not that anyone knew why.

"Quite a moment, don't you think?" Josh asked her.

"It was...amazing." She confessed.

"Then why don't you go after him? Show him that you care?"

"I did. I kissed him!"

"And why didn't you follow up? Why stop talking? Why not pull Connor aside and figure out what it meant to him?"

"I guess, I was afraid." She didn't realize it at first but this was the one thing she kept from all the rangers, even Ethan. She had never told anyone that she kissed Connor.

Josh seemed to be understanding.

"Look. When I lived in Indiana... there was a girl, named Kate. And one day out of the blue she kissed me. A real kiss. But I..." He faltered. He regained his composure and spoke again "Didn't go after her, when she left. What I didn't know was that it was her last day at my school, and she just wanted to see if I was interested in a long distance relationship... And I was. But by the time I figured it all out..."

"She was gone?" She asked.

"Yes. Don't you see? If my life has taught me anything, it's that you've got to keep the people closest to you close. And you have to be open about your feelings, before it's to late."

"Why don't you look her up?"

He was on the verge of tears again.

"Remember when I told you about the Green Tailed Towhee? I cut off a part at the end?"

"Oh yeah, what did you say exactly?"

"The Towhee said that 'With the aid of your friends you will bring his color full circle and at the end the precious of pink and gold shall fall to him"

"And that means?" She asked him.

"That with your help I'll bring the Power Rangers full circle and then, when it is done..." He faltered, he didn't want to worry Kira but she of all people deserved the truth. "The thing most precious to the Gold and Pink Power Ranger will die."

"That isn't bad is it? I mean there isn't a Pink Dino Ranger, and there hasn't been a Gold Power Ranger since..." She stopped, she knew who this was about. "You?"

"Yes Kira. At the end of the battle I am predestined to die."

"But we choose our own futures! Isn't that what the Time Force rangers were all about?" Kira had taken to reading up on some of the old Ranger teams through Tommy's files."

"Yes, but this is a prophecy, not a future. And prophecies, however rare they may be, are never wrong." He replied, "Time's up. We better return to the world of Reefside." He ripped another hole in the sky and teleported through it.

She looked back and saw that the beach was pure black.

She awoke to Connor shaking her.

"Kira! Kira! Please answer me!"

She didn't even know what she had been knocked out by.

"Connor... I'm okay." She answered.

"Oh. Thank God!" He crushed her into a bear hug. He released herslightly so she could breath, "Please don't do that again?"

She smiled at him. Then she realized she couldn't feel her legs. And she was positive a certain Emerald had something to do with it. "Connor can you...help me? I can't move my legs."

He looked at her, bewildered but he consented to picking her up, bridal style.

'Well, this isn't so bad." She told herself.

He walked them back to Tommy's room and saw that Josh still hadn't woken up.

"What happened?" Kira asked, still being held by Connor.

"He fell. Right after he knocked that girl out. And then... and then...Blood...on his head...sparks...no use..." Kim was crying in between words. Jason had put his arm around her for strength.

"Turns out Kira, that he can't heal blood. It seems the blood is killing his ability to heal properly." Tommy told her.

She felt a warm sensation going through her hands. Then she realized they were glowing. Green.

As much as she hated the idea she told Connor to put her own, next to Josh.

He obliged but didn't leave her side.

She put her hand on the Precious of Gold and Pink and began to focus.

"Breathe..." She commanded.

The blood began working backwards, slowly being absorbed, back into his head. Not that it made sense, but she could tell he was alive.

When he got up and sunk next to the desk he sent a quick telepathic message to her,

Thank you.

But he wasn't done.

"I believe in magic." He told everyone.

Everyone looked at him, completely bewildered, until they looked at Kira's clothes.

"Kira. Since when do you wear Red?" Trent asked, she hadn't even realized that he was still there...oops.

"And since when does Connor wear yellow?" Ethan added.

They looked at their clothes to realize, they weren't kidding.

Kira was wearing on of Connor's favorite Red shirts, and his Leather Jacket. Connor was wearing a yellow T-Shirt that said "Patiently" on the front of it. And on the back was Kira's face.

"Hm. I don't remember buying this shirt." Connor said.

"I don't remember making a T-shirt with my face on it." Kira replied.

They laughed.


Well that's it for this chapter. If you haven't already realized the pairings are as follows,
