Chapter 7 From Inside the Heart
Hayley laughed as she watched Ethan on his computer game. When he was playing one of his computer games, it was a miracle to get his attention. Ethan had been so engrossed in a game, causing him to drop the tray.
"Take that you evil galactic scum," Ethan said.
Kira looked up from her paper and rolled her eyes. She loved Ethan to death, but he took games way too seriously.
"Do you mind keeping it down? Some people are actually trying to work here," Conner said.
"Which by the way you should be working on too," Kira reminded him.
Ethan sighed as he finally turned to them.
"Finished it last week. Trent and I jammed on them while you guys were up being David Beckham and..." he began.
"Oh, don't even say it," Kira said.
She knew what he was going to say next.
"What? Wasn't going to," Ethan said.
Kira looked over at Conner, who had a smile on his face. Sure, she felt something for him, but nothing like what she felt for Trent.
"Ethan, can you come over here for a second," Hayley asked.
Conner looked up from his paper as Ethan walked off.
"Kira, do you want to give going out a try," he asked.
The looked on her face when she looked at him said it all.
"Conner, you know…" Kira began.
"I know you have a thing for Trent, but has he made a move yet," he asked.
"Well, not exactly," Kira sighed.
She wondered it he even would. The few times they had seen each other, she could've sworn he had felt the same. Maybe see was just kidding herself.
"So, was that a yes," Conner asked.
"I guess it won't kill me to try," Kira said.
After Ethan sat back down, he couldn't help but notice Kira and Conner occasionally stealing glances.

Ethan and Trent laughed as they walked out of the library. He hadn't mentioned his suspicions about Kira and Conner yet.
"Trent, come on. That girl was totally into you," Ethan said.
He looked down and shook his head. Sure, the girl had been attractive, but he had his eyes on someone else.
"Ah, I don't know," Trent said.
"Still waiting on Kira, huh," Ethan asked.
There was just something about her that Trent couldn't get out of his head. She wasn't like other girls he had met.
"I'm thinking about asking her this week," Trent admitted.
"You may be too late bro," Ethan said.
"What," Trent asked.
He stopped as he thought of who might have asked her out.
"Yeah, I think Conner asked her out today," Ethan said.
"She's into jocks," Trent said.
Kira didn't look like the hind of girl who would be into jocks.
"I didn't think she was either," Ethan said.
The rest if their walk had been pretty quiet.

Kris sat on the examining table, head turned away from the doctor as he inserted the needle into her arm. She was squeezing the hand of her father's as she closed her eyes tightly.
"Ouch," Kris yelled.
Kris began crying. She hated being sick. Especially knowing that it meant her going to the doctors.
"Kris, it's alright. It was just a shot," Tommy said.
He picked her up and let her bury her head in his shoulder.
"It still hurt," you could barely hear her yell.
"Man, its times like this I wish your mother were here," Tommy said.
"Yeah, me too," Kris cried.
Tommy knew Kris missed Kim, even though she hardly admitted it.

Elsa walked into the main area of the fortress where Mesogog and Zeltrax were watching the Rangers battle a new creature.
"Ah, Elsa, you're right in time," Zeltrax said.
"Time for what," she asked.
She glanced over at the screen and watched along with Mesogog and Zeltrax.
"I want you to help in defeating the Rangers," Mesogog noticed.
"As you wish my lord," Elsa nodded.
"She's being very corroborative today," Mesogog noticed.
"Too corroborative," Zeltrax said underneath his breath.

Elsa pushed Tommy to the ground as he watched the other Rangers fight. He was pinned down to the ground as Elsa looked down at him.
"I knew you were going to come," Tommy said.
"Nice to know you think about me," Elsa smiled.
"That wasn't a compliment," Tommy said.
Elsa looked away from him and laughed. Her laugh was hauntingly familiar to Tommy.
"Becoming a Ranger again did change you, Tommy. It has made your weak, old body even more fragile," Elsa said.
Tommy swallowed hard as she moved closer to him. She could tell it was making him uncomfortable as her lips inched closer to his.
"You're scared of me," Elsa said.
"Yeah right," Tommy laughed.
He pushed Elsa off of him.
"Yes, you are," Elsa said.
With that, she disappeared.

Elsa sat on the floor in the lab as Zeltrax and Mesogog walked in.
"Why didn't you finish him," Mesogog asked.
She shook off her feelings and got up.
"I didn't feel like it today," Elsa said.
"You didn't feel like it," Zeltrax yelled.
She turned and began walking towards him.
"That's right," Elsa said.
"How dare you…" Mesogog began.
"Master, Tommy is not yet at the emotional point in which I can fully destroy him," Elsa said.
"Get out," Mesogog yelled.
Elsa's body slid down the wall outside the lab. She covered her mouth with her hands as tears began to fall.
"He's scared of me," Elsa cried. "Tommy's scared of me."
AN:
Why does it bother Elsa that Tommy scared of her?
