A/N: Sorry it's been almost two months; I just haven't wanted to write lately. Also, I have no idea how the series is going to end; I'm using my creative license with this one.

Timeframe: Post Series
Ships: Jarrod/Camille
Things were good. For the first time in thousands of years, Camille was truly happy. She could not possibly have asked for anything else. True, she didn't have Dai Shi. She had someone better.
She had Jarrod. She couldn't see that changing anytime soon.
The rangers had defeated Dai Shi, leaving Jarrod behind. Camille, having been devoted to her master for centuries, was beginning to wonder what to do with herself. She was sitting on the debris strewn ground, lost in thought, when the familiar form of Jarrod appeared.
He didn't know what to do with himself, either. He had been banished from Pai Zhuq dishonorably, and the academy had been his only home for nearly half his life.
The longer they spoke, the more they realized they had in common. It was really refreshing to be able to have a conversation with someone other than Flit. Jarrod listened to her, and she to him.
It was hours into their first conversation that the chameleon realized Jarrod had fallen in love with her while he had been possessed by Dai Shi. It made her feel special that someone wanted to pay attention to her.
The pair had stayed in the ruins of the temple, and since they had few marketable skills, they had been given jobs at Jungle Karma. It had taken awhile to earn the trust of the others, but that stood to reason. Now the former rangers and villains were at least civil with each other.
For a year they had saved their paychecks and tips and had finally managed to come up with the money to lease a small apartment.
It really wasn't much, but it wasn't the size that mattered to Camille as she carefully adjusted the small framed photograph of her and Jarrod.
What mattered was that it was home.
