Zane stood in front of his mirror in his bedroom that Friday morning before school. He took in a deep breathe and then exhaled, looking at himself trying to make himself look "cool".

"So, Rena wanna go to the movies?" Zane said.

Zane shakes his head and calls himself "stupid" over and over. He looks back at his reflection, and sighs.

"Rena we- we hang out all the time but maybe you wanna hang out with just me?" Zane said.

He sighs and slaps himself on the forehead. He looks back at his reflection and sighs, then he was jolted by the sound of the bathroom door opening. It was his younger sister, Sadie. She had brown hair like their mom and had green eyes, she was in eighth grade at the junior high down the street from his high school.

"So who is Rena?" Sadie asked.

"None of your business squirt." Zane said.

Sadie pouts, "Fine be that way."

Sadie leaves her brother alone in the bathroom, Zane stares back at his reflection and sighs.

"Why is this so hard?" Zane asks.

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Carson and Monica were standing outside the school just flirting and then they noticed Zane, he seemed a bit moppy. Carson stopped their leader and Monica poked Zane to gain his attention.

"Everything okay?" Monica asked.

Zane nods, "Yeah I just- how did you guys start dating?"

Carson and Monica exchanged looks, "Um?" Carson started rubbing the back of his neck.

Monica smiles, "It sorta happened."

"How?" Zane asked.

Monica blushes, "Well after the whole Rirgol thing and Carson becoming the Black Ranger plus saving my life we both realized how much we really care about each other." Monica said

Carson held her hand, "We both knew each other from when I went to Lynchburg Private School."

Zane looked shocked, "You went to private school?"

Carson exhales, "Yes but that's not the point."

Monica nods, "Zane if you really care about a girl like how Carson cares about me don't be afraid. Just go for it, and maybe she'll feel the same way you feel."

Zane smiles, "Thanks."

Monica nods, "You're welcome. I gotta go babe." Monica kisses Carson on the cheek.

Monica leaves the boys, and the two begin to walk inside the school. Zane and Carson were talking up until he spots Rena at her locker. Rena was laughing with Liz and Tia, Zane knew she was pretty the first day he laid eyes on her but he never quite noticed how unique she really is.

"Hello? Earth to Zane?" Carson spoke.

Zane snapped out of it, "Huh what?"

Carson smirks, "Go ask her."

"Ask who?" Zane played dump.

"Rena, stupid." Carson said.

Zane nods, "Okay I guess so."

Zane walks over to Rena, the girls were gossiping about something and just giggled like every day girls. Then they smiled and waved seeing Zane walk over.

"Hi Zane," Liz smiles.

"Morning," Tia says.

"Hey hot stuff," Rena said referring to what she called him on her first day of school.

Zane smiles, "Hey guys. Um- Rena can I talk to you alone?"

Tia and Liz got the hint, "We better go find Alex and Tim." Tia said.

Liz nods, "Right see you guys later."

Liz and Tia left Rena and Zane alone. Rena leans against her locker and forms a smile at Zane, Zane smiles awkwardly and rubs the back of his neck nervously.

"So- um how are you?" Zane asked.

"I'm good." Rena said.

"That's good." Zane said.

Rena reached out and touched his hand, "Zane you're trying too hard. Stop being nervous and just tell me what's on your mind." Rena said.

Zane nods, "Okay. So um- you um. Would you like to go see a movie with me tonight?"

Rena smiles, "Of course."

Zane smiles, "Really- you will?"

Rena nods, "Sure pick me up at seven."

Zane nods, "Okay. Yeah, I'll see you there."

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Zane arrived at Rena's home, he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. He wore a nice red button down shirt, with a black hoodie over top, black jeans, and black shoes. Zane didn't know why he was so nervous. He had a girlfriend before back at his old home town, they dated for a few months before they broke up before homecoming. Zane ringed the doorbell and waited, then the front door opened and Zane saw Andrew standing there.

"Hey," Andrew said.

"Hi," Zane says.

Andrew felt awkward around Rena's friends mostly with Zane, "Um you can come inside. Rena is still finishing getting ready."

Zane nods, "Okay."

Andrew allowed Zane to enter the home, Zane sees how large the home is better from the inside. The house was two stories, with a basement. In the kitchen, which was close to the front door, was Lillian. She poked her head out and sees Zane and Andrew.

"Oh Andrew, is this a friend?" Lillian asked.

Andrew shakes his head, "No. He's Rena's date."

Lillian smiles, "Oh she has a date tonight?"

Rena came running down the stairs, wearing a silver crop top and black skinny jeans. She had her hair done in a braid, which was off on her right shoulder. Zane formed a smile and was in a way blushing.

"Hey," Rena said.

"Wow- um hi." Zane says.

Lillian steps out, "Rena why didn't you mention you had a date tonight? Its family night." Lillian said.

Rena slaps herself on the forehead, "Shoot. Sorry, Lillian. I- forgot."

Lillian sighs, "No its not your fault."

Then entering the room was Hank, "What's going on in here?"

"Rena has a date on family night." Lillian said.

Hank nods, "Well maybe this young man can join us for dinner and some games? Sure it may not be a first date but its free food."

Andrew sighs, "I'll set up another plate." Andrew said leaving the room.

Rena turns to Zane, "Guess we'll have to settle for this."

Zane nods, "Yeah."

-ELEMENTFUSION-

At the library Alex and Tia were preparing for a class project due on Monday. Tia and Alex sat at the same table, and there elbows were touching which was how close they sat next to each other.

"This project is going to be an A." Alex said.

Tia glances at him, "Only because I did all the work."

Alex turns to her, "Come on Tia you are the brains in our partnership."

Tia groans, "And your the slacker."

Alex grins, "That's why you love me."

Tia shakes her head, "As if."

Alex looks at her, "Tia don't be worried about the project it'll be okay."

"That's not it. I- I am worried about everything." Tia said closing the book she was reading.

"Tell me about it," Alex said shifting himself to face her.

"I feel like I let Zara down. I was her teacher and- I knew there was something wrong. Not to mention I am stressed about saving the world from Vaatu and my music competition to get into the music school I want to attend when I graduate high school." Tia said.

Alex places a hand on her shoulder, "Whoa calm down."

"I can't." Tia whispers.

Alex brushes her hair behind her ear, "Just breathe." He smiles.

"Alex, I'm scared." Tia said looking up at him.

Alex kisses her on the forehead, "It's alright to be scared. But don't worry, I got your back always."

Tia lightly laughs, "You're a goof."

"I know." Alex smiles.

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Rena and Zane awkwardly sat next to each other during dinner with Rena's foster family. Carter was playing with his gameboy instead of eating, which caused Lillian to take the game device away and make him eat. Andrew silently ate in peace, Hank would mind himself but here and there would begin to talk about something.

Rena took a drink of her soda and said, "So Zane is also new to Meadowedge."

Lillian places her fork down, "Really now. So son where are you from?"

"Alaska." Zane answered.

Hank nods, "I've been there before ice fishing with my old man." Hank said.

Zane nods, "My dad and I use to do that a lot."

Carter who stopped pouting looked at Zane, "So do you like like Rena or something?"

Zane glanced at Rena and blushed, "Um-."

Then their morphers beeped, Rena and Zane both looked down and looked at each other in utter shock. That gained Andrew's attention, the two teens looked from each other to the rest of the members of the Parker family to notice the beeping.

"What was that?" Lillian asked.

"Um our friend just paged us. Liz must be needing help with our group project." Rena quickly lied.

"On a Friday night?" Hank asked looking at Rena.

Zane smiles, "Well Liz likes to get her work done quick so she can keep up with her other activities."

Andrew nods, "Um why don't you go meet up with Liz. Just make sure you come back for some games." Andrew said covering for them.

"Andrew?" Lillian said.

Hank shrugs, "Hey if Andrew seems okay with it why not. Be careful you two."

Rena kisses Hank on the forehead, "Thank you."

The two quickly ran out of the house, the two rangers pulled out their morphers and quickly morphed.

"Guys, meet up at the location of the monster." Zane said.

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Standing in front of the rangers was this new monster, this monster had a lizard form. The scales were a dark green, it had sharp fangs as well as claws, and also had hellish red eyes. The seven rangers stood in front of this beast in their fighting stance.

"Look who finally decided to show up," The lizard spoke.

"You ruined my date with Monica, damn monsters." Carson said holding his black spear.

Tia points at the monster, "You are going down!"

"Ah but that is where your wrong lady." The lizard said.

The lizard charged toward them and slashed at them, causing them to fly back and sparks flew. Zane gets up first, he manages a large fire ball and throws it at the lizard. A critical hit causing a large burn on the lizard's chest. This angers the lizard, who charged full force at Zane. The lizard swings his forearm into Zane's gut and it threw Zane back into a tree trunk.

"Zane-!" Rena screamed.

Alex ran in with his green hammer, "Green Bear Hammer!" Alex slammed it directly on the stomach of the lizard.

The lizard took a lot of damage from this forceful hit. Rena wielded her staff and ran in, she gracefully dodged the sharp claws and stabbed the top of her staff right in the bottom of his mandible bone. The lizard collapses onto the ground.

Liz moves her hands in circles gathering enough air and make the hit very strong. As this was happening both Yin and Yang, Carson and Tia were attacking with Tim backing them up. Meanwhile, Rena ran over to an injured Zane.

The lizard began to get up and Tim fires his torpedo trident at the lizard, and then Tia flips from Carson's hands into the air aiming her sais at the monster. The hit was direct and powerful, Carson quickly ran in after Tia and used his spear on the lizard which was a direct hit.

As the lizard began to stumble up, Liz fires her wind causing him to fly into the air. Liz flies up using her power and while wielding her panther sword, slices at the lizard until there was an explosion causing the lizard to be defeated.

Rena helped Zane up, "Good job guys." Zane says.

Alex looks at him as he powers down, "You okay Zane?"

Tia nods, "You took a hard hit."

All the rangers were powered down, "I'm good." Zane says.

Tim looked worried, "You sure? He could have broken a rip."

Rena looks at them, "It's fine guys. I'll make sure he gets home okay."

Zane looks at her, "Rena."

Liz smiles, "Okay love birds. We'll leave you to it." She giggles.

Carson nods, "Yeah I better go. Monica is waiting for me at Space and Shake."

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Rena was helping Zane walk, she had his arm wrapped over her shoulder. Rena had some of his weight on her as they walked. She was taking him home, before hand she called Andrew to tell her foster parents that Zane wasn't feeling well so she decided to walk him home.

"Rena," Zane said under the moonlight.

Rena glanced over at him with her big brown eyes, "Hm?"

Zane blushes, "You didn't have to do this."

Rena nods, "Sure I had to. You're very important to me, Zane. Besides I know you'd do the same for me." She says.

Zane frowns, "You got that right."

Rena glances at him, "You okay?"

Zane shakes his head, "Sorry."

Rena stops walking, "About what?"

The clouds cover the moon slightly, which made the moonlight disappear for a moment before it returned. Zane looked at her, her pretty face staring at him completely now. She had a bit of a worry expression appearing on her face.

"That this night was ruined. It didn't go as planned." Zane said.

Rena rolls her eyes, "I don't care."

"What?" He says.

"Zane, I don't care if it was ruined or not. All I care is that I was spending it with someone who cares for me." Rena said.

Zane blushes, "Really? Even with the monster attack?"

Rena smiles, "Sure that was a bit annoying but that's apart of our life now and I've accepted it. Just like whatever relationship we make I'll be willing to accept the risks." Rena said.

Zane felt Rena reach out and hold his hands, he looked up at her. She formed a soft smile, and from that he also smiled. The two stood facing each other under the moonlight that Friday night.

"So this is a relationship?" Zane asked.

"What?" Rena asked blushing.

Zane laughs, "You said relationship."

Rena laughs lightly too, "I guess I did."

Zane looks at her, "Rena Rays- will you go out with me?"

Rena smiles, "Yes."

Zane leans in toward her, and Rena met him half way there. Under the moonlight romantically, the two kissed passionately. Zane and Rena pull back and both share a smile, he brushes her hair behind her ear and she lightly giggles.

"Come on hot stuff, we better get you home." Rena said.

"Fine," Zane said.

With that said, Rena and Zane held hands walking down the sidewalk with the street lights shining on them as well as the moon.

I know this chapter was mainly for the relationship of Zane and Rena but that small part added in about Tia and Alex was something I wanted to add deeply. Their chemistry is so opposite and it so cute the way he is protective of her. Also Tia needed to confess all the inner stress she's been building up. Now this isn't my favorite chapter, but its pretty close to my favorite when writing the romantic moments between characters.

NEXT TIME: It's Christmas in Meadowedge so come spend the holidays with our friends as they plan a Secret Santa. Feelings out in the open for some and maybe some romance is in the atmosphere.

On the next chapter: Have A Merry Christmas
