Twenty-one: Distraction (post "Wave Good-bye")

Kira couldn't sleep; whenever she closed her eyes she saw Trent's face. At last she gave up and went to the kitchen, opening the fridge for a late night snack.

She shouldn't be thinking about Trent, she ought to be worrying about more important things. Such as Dr. O.'s disappearance, the fact that she was now a Power Ranger and thus expected to save the world, and the ludicrous notion of saving the world with the help of Conner and Ethan of all people.

Of course, she wouldn't mind saving the world with Trent. Then again, she doubted Trent would have managed to get detention on the first day of school. But that Principal Randall might have found something to get him detention for… she had for her. Kira made a face, finally deciding on a banana-flavored yogurt. Kicking the fridge door shut, Kira turned to the silverware drawer.

Before senior year had started Kira had been perfectly normal. But hardly two weeks in and look! She was a bon fide superhero with two of the most absurd teammates ever, with their science teacher as their mentor and Hayley- a business owner- as their 'tech support'. Dr. O. knew more than he was letting on, Kira mused as she ate her yogurt sitting on the counter. The only question was how did he gain that information and why hadn't he brought up the topic before?

And of course there was Trent. Kira did not care for the fact that he had won her over so fast. But at the same time she couldn't help but crush on him and hope that she'd see him again soon.

In the morning she'd have to ask Ethan about superhero dating- surely he of all people would know if such a distraction was a good idea or not. If he teased her about it, she'd glower at him until he backed off. If he told Conner, she'd crush them in training. And if they figured out her crush on Trent, then told Trent about the crush, she'd kill them and make it look like Mesogog did it.

With a yawn Kira scraped up the last of the yogurt. She didn't mind crushing on Trent- not at all- but she did wish there could have been better timing. Embarking on a saving the world mission against a psychotic dinosaur mutant could not possibly mix well with trying to develop a romantic relationship with a cute new boy. But it couldn't hurt to try, right?
