Disclaimer: This story was inspired and adapted from season 1 of the TV show, "One Tree Hill. Neither "One Tree Hill" nor "Power Rangers" belongs to me. Paired videos have not been made specifically to go along with story, but are ones that I happen to come across on the site that I think fit the action and/or mood of that specific fan fic well.

Chapter 10: Epilogue

Paired YouTube video: "Girl In Your Dreams " by fluffythefluffkeeper

Going to school the next morning felt surreal to Kira. Back to the normality of teachers and textbooks, yesterday's kiss with Conner and the wonderful day they had spent together playing soccer and guitar in the park felt like a distant dream. Now that they were back to the real world, Kira wondered if Conner would maintain his proclamation that he wanted to be with her.

She was already halfway up the walkway to the school entrance when a familiar, bright red, varsity jacket caught her eye. Kira turned around to see Conner stepping out of his vehicle. Immediately spotting Kira, Conner gave her a nod accompanied by a huge grin. Blushing, Kira smiled shyly back as Conner started to make his way over to her.

But her lips went from perky to pursed as she saw Conner get intercepted by a group of his soccer buddies before he could reach her. Kira watched as Conner pounded fists with his friends before she turned to continue walking toward school. She didn't want to be rude and intrude on Conner if he was with his friends. Or maybe, Kira realized, she was just scarred to find out if her next appearance with Conner in front of his jock buddies would be a repeat performance from their scavenger hunt date over the weekend.

"Kira!" she heard at that moment someone from behind her call.

The petite, brunette turned around to see Conner hurrying away from his soccer friends toward her. Kira smiled as he slowed up upon reaching her side. Conner in exchange grinned goofily back at her.

He then pushed a stand of hair out of her face, making it obvious to his soccer buddies and the entire school that he didn't' care who if knew they were together.

The End

A/N: It was a really interesting experience going into "Scavenger Hunt," knowing I was going to be writing it on one of the pairings I hate most in PR history (curse creative inspiration when it gives you a plot idea for a story you just can't ignore!). However, the support and encouragement from y'all helped make writing this story actually a pretty fun time.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who read and especially to those of you who took the time to review, including: foxee-chikbzwitme23the real vampiresporty-mia09Pink-Ranger-Modemyeveryday1993, yellow power, Blackguard, yellowprincess, fire dragonheart, Deena, sailormoonfreak5311earth-fairy2006LiLiAnKaTwitchy the SquirrelCharmedfan90caithzadzpeaches849band rox my sox on, alexis, XxBubblesxxVxxwelleg and Toffy.

Special shout-out to reviewers Enigmaforum and Overdrive Red for always letting me blab about PR or just about whatever.

OK, that's a wrap, but I hope y'all will check out my current romance theme challenge on Will and Ronny from Operation Overdrive as well as my new Mystic Force story, "Gossip Girl." (Yes, it is based on the TV series, lol)
