A day of Destiny 13
That night, Emily sat in the garden, gazing at the twinkling stars above. Antonio and Jayden crept out and sat on either side of her on the bench.
"You were pretty awesome today," Jayden commented to her.
"No, you guys were," Emily corrected, "all of you. Especially Antonio."
"It's not like you were dead," Antonio blushed.
"It might have turned into that, though!" Emily smiled, "thanks to both of you."
"Welcome," the two males replied as one, causing light laughter.
"We should recover," Jayden yawned, "doing a day of destiny sure takes a lot out of you."
The other two laughed and rose. Antonio gently took Emily's arm as Jayden went inside.
"Do you think Serena is going to wait for me?" he asked her, "what could she see in me?"
"You're just the kind, talented, strong type of guy Serena used to dream of," Emily assured him, "you're both perfect for each other."
"But there's others," Antonio pointed out, "and who knows how long..?"
"You have something nobody else has," Emily cut in, "you had the compassion to save me."
"Shucks," Antonio's cheeks burned red, "I'm going to die of blushing if you keep bringing it up."
"Alright, alright," Emily laughed, "but trust me, Antonio. You're both destined to be together."
"Thanks, Em," Antonio smiled at the youngest ranger.
As the two parted, he said, "Hey, Em?"
"Yes?"
"I really like Serena..."
"But?"
"I'm glad you're our Yellow Ranger."
"Yeah," Emily smiled at him, "I am, too."
And as she crawled in bed that night, Emily felt hopeful and loved. Her sister was proud of her, her parents would be supporting, and everybody was finally happy again.
Emily had finally confirmed her destiny that day. It would be risky and sometimes painful, but she was with her best friends and her boyfriend. That day had finally shown her what being The Yellow Ranger was about: Trust, determination, compassion, sweat, tears, aching like crazy, taking a hit, being with her friends, love, and going along with her destiny
And she was okay with that.
