Halley's Room
After explaining everything to her mother Halley headed up to her room to finish up some last minute homework. Once she finished her homework she went on her computer and logged onto her facebook. She scrolls down the home page everybody was buzzing about the upcoming homecoming dance they always had right before Halloween. The theme this year was Halloween Masquerade Ball. Halley had decided to go as Sam from A Cinderella Story. She absolutely loved the dress she wore during the movie. She got it custom made she had a bit of flair to it by added pink sparkles to it. She also got the matching mask.
Even though nobody had asked her to the dance she was too worried about a lot of guys were intimated to ask her out and she was always busy with something top it off with being a ranger. Instead Halley and the other rangers decided to go as a group instead of couples.
Halley exited out of the internet before closing her laptop. She got off her bed and headed straight for her closet. She opened the double doors and walked in through the rows of clothes. When she made it to the back to where she kept her mannequin that wore her gown. She smiled the dance was in a couple days and she couldn't wait. She continued to look at the dress and decided to put it on. She slowly unzipped the zipper before sliding her petite figure into it. She took a deep breath as she held the top of it so she wouldn't expose her breast. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled once again. Something about this dress Halley knew the homecoming dance was going to be special.
Darko's Lair
Darko stared at the screen before him showing the battle that had happened just the other day. He sighed as he watched Halley lay on the ground. He clenched his fist as the door opened.
"How's it going Prince Darko," said Elgar.
"What do you want you fool?" asked Darko.
"Oh nothing I was just bored," said Elgar.
"Well if you don't mind I am trying to come up with a plan to destroy the power rangers once in for all, but they technology that is unimaginable we need to figure a way to get that technology," said Darko.
"It's not like they are just going to hand it over," chuckled Elgar.
"I know that I'm not an idiot like you, "said Darko turning away from Elgar he looked back at the screen and suddenly a smirk crossed his face, "but I know exactly how to get it."
Angel Grove High
Halley parked her car in the same spot she always did and opened the door and stepping out. She was wearing her cheerleading uniform today they were having a pep rally for the homecoming game and tomorrow was the dance. She collected her things and shut the door and locked them. She quickly made her way inside, but her stuff in her locker and headed for the gym.
"Finally where have you been?" asked Carissa walking up to her.
"Sorry at to take Chris and Danny to school today they missed the bus," Halley said adjusting her cheerleading bow on her head.
"Well the football team put the mats down for us and all we need is the music," said Carissa. Halley bit her lip. "Halley you did remember the music didn't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, but it's in my car," said Halley.
"Well go get it Captain," said Carissa shoeing her out of the gym. "And don't come back without it."
"Yeah, yeah," said Halley as she started to jog to the entrance of the school. Once outside Halley started to rummage through her new Coach purse she had gotten when she went shopping with Carissa last weekend.
She unlocked the doors and got kneeled on her driver seat looking all over. "Where could you be," she said to herself. "Ah ha," she said picking up a case out of the CD player. She got out of the car locking it once more and placing the disc safely in her purse. She started to walk back into school.
In the main office she had to sign herself back in even though she hadn't left school property. She noticed the principal talking to someone she had never seen at the school. Well she couldn't really tell because he had his back to her.
As she was heading toward the hallway she got a quick glimpse of him and her heart skipped a beat. "Darko," she said in barely a whisper. "It couldn't be," she said as she continued down the long hallway. She shook the image from her mind she was just stress it was normal for her to see things. Wasn't it?
She entered the gym once again music in hand. "I'm back Carissa," she said holding the disc.
"Great," Carissa smiled taking the disc from her hand. "Now we can rehearse."
"And to think I'm captain," Halley replied.
"I'm sorry I'm just nervous we are going to make complete fools of ourselves," said Carissa.
"Hey don't think like that we've won first place in every cheer competition we've ever competed in," smiled Halley.
"You're right maybe that's why you make such a great captain," Carissa said.
"What do you mean?" asked Halley.
"Well I mean you are always positive never thinking about a bad outcome," Carissa said.
"Aw Carissa," Halley said as she hugged her friend.
Pep Rally
As the students and staff entered the gym taking their seats in the bleachers popular music started to play. Halley and Carissa were stretching on the mat. They looked over at the mascot running around giving everyone a high five. He then ran over to them and picked both of them up.
"Derrick put us down," the girls laughed in unison.
He did as he was told and put them down. "You guys knew I had to do it," said Derrick.
"Of course you did," said Carissa rolling her eyes.
"Well I gotta get this crowd pumped," Derrick said as he cart-wheeled himself away from the girls.
Halley and Carissa's friend, Kelly walked over. "What are you guys doing talking to Derrick?" she asked.
"Well we don't want to be rude and he is our friend," said Halley.
"Oh," said Kelly crossing her arms.
"What you jealous or something," said Carissa.
"No I mean you guys said he was totally gross like a few weeks ago," said Kelly.
"Well Kelly when you take the time to know someone you tend to change your mind," said Halley and with that Halley and Carissa walked away.
After about ten minutes the cheerleader got into position outside of the gym waiting to be called. When the pep rally began they called the mascot first, then they started to introduce the cheerleaders ending the head cheerleader Halley. When Halley got out there her eyes made contact with someone, someone she knew all too well. She continued to do the routine as he smirked and leaned against the bleachers.
After the cheerleaders finished their routine the football players introduce JT and Lucas being the captains were called last and everybody cheered for them. Then all of a sudden Ice-O appeared and the cheers turned into screams.
"Time for some fun," said Ice-O. As the students and staff left five teens hadn't moved from their positions. "Well well well if it isn't the annoying rangers."
"You'll eat those words," said JT, "You guys ready."
Halley, Lucas, Carissa, and Derrick all nodded as all five teens got into position. "Let's rock it."
Suddenly Darko appeared. "Well well rangers it's god to see you again," he smirked.
"You don't scare us Darko," JT said pointing at him.
"And I don't intend to I intend to destroy you," he smirked, "Ice-O finish them off."
"It would be my pleasure sire," Ice-O said taking a bow.
"Excellent," said Darko as he disappeared.
"Let's have a little fun now rangers ice beam," Ice-O said shooting an ice beam at the rangers which they dodge.
"It won't work this team Ice-O," said Lucas.
After a good fifteen minutes of the fighting Ice-O retreated.
The Next Day Halley's Room
Ashley finished zipping up her daughter's dress. "Wow Halles you look absolutely stunning," Ashley said.
"You really think so mom?" asked Halley.
"Of course sweetheart now let's add the finishing touches to your hair," Ashley said as they headed over to Halley's vanity.
Ashley took a small tiara off the vanity and placed it to her daughter's golden hair. She then handed Halley the mask that went with the dress she lifted up Halley's now curled hair so Halley could put the mask on.
"Halley your friends are here," yelled Andros from the stairs. Ashley mad her way down the stairs.
"Where is she?" asked Andros.
"She's coming don't worry," Ashley said kissing her husband sweetly on the lips. At that moment Halley walked down the stairs slowly.
"Wow Halley you look amazing," said Carissa who was dressed up as a sailor girl.
"Yeah," said the guys. Derrick was supposedly supposed to be a mob boss. JT was a sailor which went with Carissa's costume which Halley knew she had to talk to her friend about this. Lucas was dressed as pirate.
"Thanks guys," Halley smiled.
"Alright kids I want to get some pictures," said Ashley holding her camera. She posed the teens in ten different shots.
"Next year we should totally go as the Mystery Inc I mean there are enough of us," said Derrick.
"If we did you would so be Scooby," said Carissa. Everybody laughed except for Derrick.
"Well you guys have a good time," said Ashley as the teens exited the house.
"And don't get into any trouble," said Andros.
"We know dad," said Halley.
The Homecoming Dance
As the rangers entered the dance music was blaring and there were some many people it wasn't even funny. It was a good thing that the school had decided to have it at a nice hotel. After a few dances a slow song came on. JT and Carissa went off and to dance with one another. Lucas was talking to some other football players about the game night before. Derrick was trying to get some girl to dance with him and then got pulled away by Kelly to the dance floor. Halley smiled at her friends she walked outside to get some air.
She made her way to a garden where she could still hear the music. The garden had white twinkling lights with white roses.
"Excuse me miss," a voice said Halley turned around to see a masked figure standing before her. He was dressed as a prince.
"Yes," she said the guy looked about her age she really couldn't tell but he was built like a male model with dark hair almost black. She couldn't help, but notice his eyes they were a baby blue. He looked familiar to her she couldn't think of who though. "Do I know you? I mean you seem so familiar, but I just can't think of who you remind me of or who you are," she said.
"Maybe this will jog your memory," he smiled he closed his eyes. A flower lifted from the bush and made its way to her. Halley was astonished. She accepted the flower.
"Darko?" she asked as he took off his mask.
"Hello Halley," he said. Halley backed away from him. "Halley I'm not going to hurt you."
"How am I supposed to know that I mean your evil," Halley responded.
"But you know deep down inside I would never hurt you if it was my choice I wouldn't be evil it's just who I am," he said taking her hand. "Remember all those years ago when we first met I'm still that kid just not as confused."
Halley looked at their hands. "Darko," was all she could get out before Darko took her in his arms and kissed her. She didn't stop him instead she kissed him back wrapping her arms around his waist. They both released from the kiss.
"I've wanted to do that for so many years," he smiled down at her. Halley became lost in Darko's eyes lost. Nothing mattered at that moment except for the two of them there was no good versus evil it was just Darko and Halley. "Dance with me," he smiled and she nodded. Together they danced in the garden all night.
