Chapter 14 – A Secret Revealed…

Kira all but ran from her class as lunch began. She couldn't wait to tell the others what she and Trent had seen at the weekend; Dr.O and Grace! She could barely believe it herself but she was so excited after all they seemed perfect for each other they just kind of clicked. She had initially wondered whether to tell the others after all it did seem a bit like intruding but she figured they'd find out anyway and besides they were friends it wasn't like they would tell everybody.

The others were already at their usual bench when she arrived, she frowned at Trent who was looking a little down in the dumps; but then again he had been since Sunday afternoon in the park. He smiled at her though when she sat down so she pushed that problem to the back of her head, first things first…

"So," Ethan nudged Conner with a smirk. "Where were you guys all weekend?" Kira blushed and Trent looked a little embarrassed but hurried to assure them it was nothing.

"Kira was just helping me catch up with what I missed in history, it took ages; I didn't realize I'd missed so much." Conner and Ethan looked a little disappointed with such a simple explanation but accepted it anyway. Kira didn't know what to think; on the one hand she was grateful to Trent because there was no way she could have coped if Ethan and Conner had started teasing them but Trent had almost jumped to tell them it was nothing, she felt a flicker of disappointment.

"Shame," Conner said with a shrug. "I was going to ask if you wanted to go on a double date with me and this girl I met in Chem. Class." No one was sure if he was joking or not.

'Speaking of dates," Kira said excitedly. "You'll never guess who me and Trent saw on a date yesterday!" Ethan made a strange gurgling noise. They all turned to look at him, he'd gone bright red, Kira frowned; what was up with him?

Conner shook his head at Ethan and looked back over to Kira. "Come on then who was it?"

"Dr.O and Grace!" She managed to keep her voice down so no one else could hear but she really wanted to yell it in excitement.

"No way!" Conner exclaimed.

"Ssshhh!" The other three hissed. Ethan seemed to have recovered his composure.

"No way." Conner repeated in an awed sounding whisper.

"Are you serious, Dr.O and Miss Peyton?" Ethan leant low across the table to keep his voice quiet.

Kira giggled. "Definitely, we saw them in the park!"

"Whoa, what were you two doing in the park?" Ethan interrupted.

Conner waved for him to be quiet. "Are you sure?" He asked Kira.

"Yeah!" Kira exclaimed excitedly. "I swear it must have been a date because they looked really happy and I mean they were walking arm in arm!"

The others looked at her with incredulous smiles on their faces, only Trent looked glum. He hadn't been able to speak to Kira about anything else; she was obsessed with the topic and she talked about it non stop.

"Oh man this is unbelievable!" Conner shook his head in disbelief. "I always said Dr.O needed more of a social life." Ethan rolled his eyes.

"What?" Conner said indignantly. "You guys all heard me say it, right?"

Grace wandered the school field as though she were on a cloud. She was vaguely aware that she must have a silly grin on her face but it was too hard to wipe off.

Yesterday had been amazing; after buying lunch she and Tommy had walked around the park just talking about anything that popped into their heads, and then he had walked her home. He'd said they'd have to do it again sometime! Grace was sure she could dance with excitement; people only said that if they meant it!

The only thing she worried over was the good bye; she hadn't been sure whether to kiss him on the cheek or whether to kiss him on the lips. Like before it had been a weird moment. He'd leaned in really close and told her that he had really enjoyed the afternoon and she'd gotten that spiky fluttery feeling in her stomach like she had before, but just when it seemed like they were going to kiss he gotten all jittery and simply said, "So I'll see you around?"

She sighed and shook her head. She could have said "No, you won't." But that would have implied that he had been there to hear it; he'd run off so fast she was sure he was being chased! She shook her head again. Men.

A panicked scream split the air and shattered her cloud; she spun around to see Elsa and some freaky dinosaur mutants in the middle of the field. Students and teachers alike were running in all directions yelling their heads off and all too quickly the field was empty.

Great and she'd thought this day hadn't been that bad, time to power up…

Tommy wanted to smack his head on the table. Yesterday had been going so well until that moment at her door; it was that kiss thing again. It was going fine, in fact more than fine, and all he had wanted to do was kiss her but as usual someone above stairs obviously hated him; his communicator had gone off.

He'd left her on her doorstep obviously completely confused and probably more than a little pissed off. It would be amazing if she ever spoke to him again; he was probably coming across as one of those jerks that mess women around because they think it's funny. This was however, not in the least bit funny and next time he saw Zeltrax or any of those damn Tyrannodrones he'd kick their asses into next week…

His communicator gave its familiar beep. He sighed and lifted it to his mouth.

"It's Tommy here, what's wrong?"

Hayley's voice sounded tinny over the com. "It looks like Elsa got bored and decided to have a little fun on the school field. You'd better get over there, I'll get the others."

"I'm on my way."

Grace was starting to think that this wasn't one of the best ideas she'd ever had; she was badly outnumbered and that was without Elsa joining in. That witch was just stood there laughing at her and occasional throwing over an insult. Her minions were tossing Grace around like a sack of flour, and if she was honest with herself she was starting to feel like one; beaten to a fine powder.

Grace knew she was in trouble when the mutants got their act together and surrounded her; a circle that she was stuck in the middle of. No matter how many punches and kicks she threw out she had yet another minion to contend with. One gripped her in an iron like headlock and another swept her legs from under her. Before she could pull herself up another two grabbed her arms and yanked her so hard that she shot up, she had only just adjusted herself to this new position when Elsa snarled an order to the mutants that held her.

"On her knees." They applied a painful amount of tension to her shoulders and arms so that she was forced to one knee; it thudded into the ground and she felt the jolt all the way up her leg, gritting her teeth in pain.

"Well," Elsa placed her sneering face close to Grace's. "You weren't much of a ranger were you? You're pathetic!"

Grace struggled against the dinosaur freak's clawed hands. If she could just get her leg round and…She swept her left leg out knocking over the mutant on that side and before it could be replaced, flipped the one on the right onto its back. Unfortunately Elsa was quicker than she expected and Grace found herself being grabbed from behind and was suddenly flying through the air.

It was when she hit the ground with a jarring thud causing her to demorph and not a moment too soon for at that moment the power rangers came out from the line of trees and bushes that lined the left side of the field. A series of small humps which kids liked to ride their bikes on obscured the school from sight for which Grace was grateful; it meant that the other rangers hadn't seen her demorph.

"Leave her alone Elsa!" The rangers came running to stand in front of her, blocking Elsa from view. The tall black ranger came to kneel by her side and helped her sit up, she winced; it felt like every bone in her body had been crushed and then stuck together by a five year old with crazy glue.

"Are you okay?" The guy sounded worried, it was almost like his job depended on her being okay.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." She glanced over at the other rangers who were an impressive display of colour and who appeared to be having a slinging match with Elsa.

"She didn't hurt you?" Grace snapped her attention back to the black ranger by her side.

"I'd like to see her try." Grace said with a grin. For some reason she was sure that if he hadn't had his helmet on he would have smiled.

"You'd better get back to the school, it'll be safe there." Before she could ask how he knew that she worked at the school he brought up a gloved hand and brushed his knuckles across her cheek. "You're okay." He murmured as though assuring himself.

Her breath caught in her chest.

The black ranger raced over to where his team mates fought; they were steadily drawing away from where she sat; no doubt to stop her getting hurt. She stood in a daze, her hand to her cheek.

"Tommy?"
