Chapter 21: Until We Meet Again
"Kellyn, Summer, Ben," said the head sports director of Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School.
"Yes Mr. Hunter?" replied Kellyn, Summer, and Ben.
"We are leaving tomorrow morning," said Mr. Hunter. "Don't get too carried away."
"Yes Mr. Hunter," replied Kellyn, Summer, and Ben. Mr. Hunter left and Ben turned to face Summer and Kellyn. Kellyn wore a face of downcast.
"Dude, cheer up! You got to see her again, didn't you?" asked Ben.
"Yes, but-" replied Kellyn.
"But nothing! You'll see her again!" said Ben.
"You should tell Kate," said Summer, "and Karrie."
"I will," replied Kellyn. "Just how long will it be until the next time I see her?"
"It's all up to the future," replied Ben. "Come on! Let's enjoy the little time with have with them!"
"Alright," replied Kellyn. Kellyn, Ben, and Summer went off to find Kate, Karrie, Rhythmi, Keith, Isaac, Lunick, and Solana. Their search was short lived when Karrie came out of what seemed like no where.
"There you guys are! I've been looking for you!" exclaimed Karrie. "Lunick and Solana are going to be leaving real soon!"
"How soon?" asked Kellyn.
"Like as in they're waiting for me to get you so we can all say good bye soon," replied Karrie.
"Let's go then!" said Ben and Karrie led them to where everyone else was.
"Karrie!" shouted Keith. "It's about time!"
"Sorry!" replied Karrie.
"Well, we're here now," said Summer. Solana nodded.
"It was nice meeting you all, but we have to leave. We are still on active-duty and they need us in Ringtown." said Solana.
"Of course," replied Kate.
"Well, hopefully we'll see you all in the future," said Lunick. "Maybe then you'll all be Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics."
"That would be awesome!" replied Keith.
"Karrie, try to keep out of trouble," said Solana. Karrie turned bright red from embarrassment. Kellyn and Kate couldn't help but laugh. Keith snickered only to get whacked by Karrie. "And be nice to Keith."
"Fine, I'll try," replied Karrie.
"So until we meet again, bye!" said Lunick. "Ciao!" Lunick got on a staraptor and so did Solana.
"Bye everyone!" exclaimed Solana.
"BYE!" yelled everyone back except for Lunick. Lunick and Solana left. Isaac and Rhythmi decided to go off somewhere. Laurie decided to go chill in the library. Kate turned to face Kellyn only to find Kellyn moving quickly to wrap his arms around her. She turned bright red.
"Kate," said Kellyn. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too," replied Kate.
"There's something you should know," said Kellyn.
"We're leaving tomorrow morning," replied Ben.
"Hey!" said Kellyn. "I was going to tell her that!"
"You're leaving?" asked Kate.
"Yeah," replied Kellyn. "Though I wish I didn't have to."
"If we become Top Rangers, we will all see each other again," said Karrie. Then Karrie got an idea. "Follow me!"
"Where are you going?" asked Keith.
"Ascension Square," replied Karrie.
"The Pledge Stone," replied Keith and Karrie nodded.
"Keith and I already made a pledge with Rhythmi and Kate to become Top Rangers and Top Operator," said Karrie. "But I think that maybe you can make a pledge with her. They say that if you make a pledge with your friends there at the Pledge Stone, it will come true."
"Take us there Karrie," replied Kellyn. Karrie led her brother and Kate to Ascension Square. Ben, Summer, and Keith followed along.
"Here we are," said Karrie. Kellyn looked at the moment that resembled the Ranger symbol.
"Thank you," replied Kellyn. He looked at Kate who then grabbed hold of his hand.
"Come on," said Kate and she led Kellyn to the front of the Pledge Stone. She placed his hand on top of her's. "What kind of pledge do you want to make?"
"Friendship, love, and come back for you," replied Karrie for Kellyn. Kellyn blushed. He hated how Karrie could read his mind almost literally.
"I pledge to always wait for you to come back," said Kate.
"I pledge to always be there somehow whenever you need me," replied Kellyn.
"Aw, I was expecting something more romantic," said Karrie.
"Well, today's movie night," said Keith suddenly. "Maybe we can get you three in to join us."
"Oh yeah," replied Kate.
"Aw! It's the boys' turn to pick out the movie and I just know its going to be a horror film," said Karrie.
"You don't like horror movies?" asked Summer.
"She's deathly afraid of them," replied Kellyn. "Always tries to hide whenever they come on." Karrie blushed.
"Don't worry Karrie," said Kate. "You have Kellyn and Keith to keep you safe." Keith blushed.
"Let's go talk to Janice," said Karrie.
"Janice?" asked Ben.
"She's the caretaker." replied Kate. They all headed off to the building except Kellyn stayed behind.
"Keith, I want to talk to you for a moment," said Kellyn.
"Alright," replied Keith. "Karrie, I'll catch up with you later." Keith walked over to Kellyn. "What is it?"
"I want you to pledge to me that you'll always look out for my little sister," replied Kellyn.
"I don't need to pledge you something that I'd do without being told to," said Keith.
"I know she trusts you. I know that somehow you bring her comfort. I know that Kate trusts you." said Kellyn. "I never seen my sister be so open to or around anyone as much as she does around you and to you before. I don't know how you manged to do it, but I can't ignore the fact she's so comfortable around you." Keith looked at Kellyn and tried to digest what he was saying. "Keith, because of the bond you share with her, you could hurt her, enough to bring her down like a house of cards."
"Why me and not Kate?" asked Keith.
"That's something I'd like to know as well," replied Kellyn.
"I promise you that I have no idea why she is more comfortable around me versus Kate." said Keith.
"I'm just worried about my little sister, that's all." replied Kellyn. "Come on, before Karrie comes and gets us."
Keith and Kellyn went to the lounge where Karrie, Kate, Summer, Ben, Rhythmi, Isaac, Ponte, Laurie, and Todd were waiting. Rhythmi and Isaac were already sitting in a big chair. Kate was sitting on the couch with Karrie, Summer, and Ben. Ponte was in his bean bag chair. Todd was playing with a little robot with Laurie on the floor. Keith sat in a spare bean bag chair. Kellyn made his way to the couch and sat next to Kate.
"Kellyn," said Kate.
"Hi," replied Kellyn.
"Movie time," said Ponte.
"Boys get to pick first tonight," said Rhythmi. Ponte, Isaac, Keith, Ben, Kellyn, and Todd fought over which movie to pick. Keith, Kellyn, and Isaac were against the horror movie. Ponte, Ben, and Todd were for the horror movie. Ponte somehow managed to out rule Isaac, Keith, and Kellyn. They put the horror movie on and Karrie tried to sneak back into the girls' dorm. Kellyn caught her.
"No you don't," said Kellyn. He reached over the couch and grabbed her collar and pulled her over.
"Aw come on Kellyn!" replied Karrie. Everyone but Kellyn, Kate, Summer, Karrie, and Keith laughed. Ponte pushed the play button and immediately Karrie tried first to burrow into the couch and since that didn't work she tried to burrow into Kate who was next to her. Kellyn stopped her and Karrie decided to bury her head into her knees.
When ever there was a scary part, Kate would clasp on to Kellyn's arm and hide her face. Kellyn put his arm around her to make her feel more safe. Summer hid her face into Ben's shoulder. Rhythmi would bury her head into Isaac's chest while he held her. Laurie would squeak and hide her face behind Todd's toy robot. Karrie would whimper, cover her ears, and hide her face in the couch as she curled up into a little ball. Keith felt bad for Karrie.
At one point in the movie, a scene startled a scared Karrie and all the rest of the girls so much that they all jumped and made some kind of noise. Rhythmi and Kate let out a small whimper. Summer squeaked and Ben wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. Laurie jumped up a little and latched onto Todd's arm as she screamed. Karrie jumped off the couch and landed on Keith with a screech.
"Karrie," whispered Keith after grunting from the impact of her falling/jumping on him. Karrie whimpered in response as she started to curl up in a little ball and cover her ears. She buried her face into his chest and held on to his shirt. He was quite thankful that the lights were out or everyone would have seen his face turn bright red. Keith wrapped his arms around her and held Karrie close to him to make her feel safe.
By the time the horror movie was over, Karrie was fast asleep. Rhythmi made Ponte put on a chic flick. Keith closed his eyes since he wasn't a fan of chic flicks. He rested his head on Karrie's and fell asleep. An hour later, Laurie left for the girls' dorm and Ponte and Todd left for the boys' dorm. Kellyn, Kate, Rhythmi, and Isaac watched Keith and Karrie and soon realized they were both asleep. Rhythmi got her camera and snapped a quick picture before giving Isaac a kiss goodnight and leaving for the girls' dorm.
Summer and Ben fell asleep looking like a couple. Kellyn sat in the chair Isaac was sitting in to give Summer and Ben room to sleep. He leaned back and motioned for Kate to come over and sit on his lap. Kate did just that. Kate crawled on to Kellyn's lap and snuggled into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. Kate rested her head on his chest and Kellyn rested his head on her head.
"I wish we could do this every night," said Kate.
"Mhm," replied Kellyn. He kissed her forehead softly as Kate fell asleep before falling asleep himself.
In the morning, Kate woke up and smiled as she looked at Kellyn sleeping. She kissed his cheek softly before rubbing her nose with his gently. Kellyn slowly opened his eyes and smiled. Both of their hair was messy.
"Morning Kate," said Kellyn.
"Morning," replied Kate. Kellyn kissed her softly. Kate look at him with a dream like look in her eyes. "We spent the whole night together."
"Yes we did," replied Kellyn as he rubbed her cheek softly with his thumb. They melted into each others' eyes and didn't snap out of it until they heard some one wake up. They heard a yawn and looked over to see that Summer had just woken up and was stretching a little. She didn't seem to notice Ben's arm that was wrapped around her waist. Summer rubbed her eye and then looked at the brunette couple.
"Good morning," said Summer.
"Morning Summer," replied Kate and Kellyn.
"Where is everyone?" asked Summer.
"Most of them left to go go sleep in their beds in the dorms." replied Kate.
"Karrie and Keith are still asleep on the beanbag chair," said Kellyn as he glanced over at his sister.
"Oh," said Summer. "Where's Ben?" Kate pointed to the sleeping boy next to Summer. Summer's eyes widened in horror as she realized this whole time Ben had his arm wrapped around her waist and that she slept right next to him. She blushed when she realized what had happened the night before. It had been her fault. "Don't tell any one about this, okay?" Kellyn and Kate nodded. To their surprise, Summer leaned down and kissed Ben softly the forehead. She turned bright red and tried to get Ben's arm off of her. Ben was holding on pretty good especially since he was asleep. Each time Summer tried to pull his arm away, he'd pull her closer in his sleep. He muttered something under his breath and before Summer knew it, he had both arms wrapped around her and had his head resting against her shoulder and arm. Ben wouldn't let her go. As long as he was asleep, Summer was stuck there.
"He really doesn't want you to go," said Kate.
"Summer," muttered Ben in his sleep.
"Did you hear that?" asked Kellyn. "I think he's dreaming about you." Summer blushed and then looked at Ben's sleep. He did look kind of cute in his sleep in Summer's opinion. They then heard Karrie stir. False alarm, she was just shifting in her sleep. Then they heard Keith stir. Keith woke up to three brunettes staring at him. He looked down and saw that Karrie was curled up on his lap, her head was on his chest, her hands still holding on to his shirt, and was fast asleep. He turned bright red when he looked back up and met Kellyn's gaze.
"Ah, morning?" said Keith nervously.
"Morning," replied Kellyn, Kate, and Summer. Keith looked back down at Karrie and decided to move her so that he could get up. He tried to pry her off of him but she just would not let go. He kept on trying for a good ten minutes or so. Karrie latched on to Keith even harder than before.
"No," said Karrie as she buried her head back into Keith's chest. He stopped trying to get her off and listened to her breathing. Slowly her breathing slow down, she was falling back asleep.
"Guess she wants to stay that way," said Kate with a chuckle.
"Guess I'm not the only one with someone latched onto in their sleep," said Summer. Keith looked at Summer and saw that Ben has his arms wrapped around her and showed no signs of ever letting go.
"Summer," mumbled Ben as he held Summer closer to him. Keith grinned. At least Karrie couldn't do that.
"Keith," mumbled Karrie in her sleep. So much for her being any different from Ben. She loosened her grip and snuggled closer to him. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her.
"I wonder when those two are planning on waking up," said Kate.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Keith and Summer are enjoying this," said Kellyn. Keith and Summer turned bright red. Rhythmi then walked into the room with Karrie's egg.
"She up yet?" asked Rhythmi.
"No, but we think she's dreaming about Keith," replied Kate. Rhythmi looked at Keith who had his arms wrapped around a sleeping Karrie. He stared at Rhythmi. Rhythmi shrugged and then looked at Summer who was still trapped in Ben's arms.
"Aw, how adorable," exclaimed Rhythmi. "Today's a day off so no one should be coming out of their rooms. Let's go down to the cafeteria and see if we can get some breakfast before the Fiorre students have to leave."
"Pancakes, eggs, and bacon," said Keith as he shook Karrie.
"Pancakes?" asked Karrie as she stated to open her eyes. "Where?" Kellyn, Keith, and Kate laughed.
"Of course," said Summer as she got an idea. She turned a bit to face Ben more. "FOOD!" Ben woke up immediately.
"WHERE?" asked Ben. Everyone but Ben and Karrie started to laugh.
"About time you woke up!" exclaimed Kate.
"Yeah, poor Summer tries to get up and you just keep on holder her tighter," replied Kellyn with a smile. Summer and Ben blushed. "We even heard you say Summer a few times. You did not want to let her go." Ben turned bright red when he realized that both of his arms were wrapped around Summer. He immediately let go.
"Sorry," mumbled Ben.
"Karrie wasn't too much better," said Kellyn. "She wouldn't let go of Keith." Karrie turned bright red and immediately rolled off of Keith's lap. Keith caught her arm so that she wouldn't hit the floor. He made sure she softly and gently made it to the floor. Karrie got up and took her egg from Rhythmi and went inside the dorm room.
"Nice going Kellyn," replied Kate as she punched Kellyn softly.
"I didn't mean to get her upset," replied Kellyn. Karrie returned with a backpack filled with blankets. They all understood why she went into the dorm. She went to get something to carry her egg in not because she was upset.
"Let's go eat breakfast," said Karrie and that's just what they did. Soon they went outside to where the Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School students were gathering. Karrie hugged her brother and then stepped aside as everyone else said their good byes. Ben and Summer went off first. Kellyn stayed behind with Kate.
"I'm going to miss you," said Kellyn.
"I will too," replied Kate. Kellyn hugged Kate. Kate leaned up towards him and kissed him on the lips. "I love you Kellyn."
"Kate, I lov-" started Kellyn but was interrupted by a running Ben.
"KELLYN! IT'S TIME TO GO!" yelled Ben. Kellyn looked at Ben in anger.
"Damn it! Of all the times you had to come running and yelling to me, you had to pick this one!" yelled Kellyn. He clenched his fists. Kate wrapped her hands around his fists and he started to relax.
"Kellyn," said Kate. Kellyn turned to Kate. She kissed him full on the lips and then wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms went temporarily limp but soon found themselves wrapped around Kate's waist.
"Whoa," said Ben. "Looks like Kellyn's getting in some action!" Kellyn went to glare at him only to be stopped by Kate.
"Ignore him," said Kate. Kellyn closed his eyes and focused on the only thing that mattered, Kate.
"Um, I think I'm going to go now," said Ben as he realized that the brunette couple wasn't showing any signs of stopping their little make out session (yes, that's what Ben calls it).
"BEN!" yelled Summer as she finished running to him. "Where's Kellyn? We have to leave now." Ben pointed at the couple who were making out. Summer smacked her forehead. "Of course he would be kissing her now of all times."
"Summer, can we go before he tries to make it to second base before he leaves?" asked Ben. Summer hit Ben. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Can you at least try to act like your mind is not perverted for once?" asked Summer.
"My mind is not perverted, it's just not clean," replied Ben. Summer rolled her eyes.
"Kellyn, you better go before we get more of an audience," said Kate.
"And before Ben says anything more stupid," replied Kellyn. He kissed her forehead and then released her. "Until we meet again, let's remember this moment." Kate nodded.
"Good bye Kellyn," said Kate. "Have a nice time at school."
"I'll try," replied Kellyn. "You better have a nice time at school as well." Kate smiled and nodded. "Bye Kate."
"Kellyn Hajime! Ben Natsuya! Summer Minami!" yelled Mr. Hunter.
"Coming!" replied Kellyn, Ben, and Summer.
"You three better get going," said Kate.
"Right," replied the trio. Kellyn, Ben, and Summer left with the rest of the Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School.
