Desiree came into Ninja Ops, and flopped down on a pillow in the main room,buried her head between her arms on the table and began sobbing, her temper had cooled, she was upset now. She pretty much had broken up with Hunter because he was getting angry about nothing, she had a life back in Angel Grove before moving to Blue Bay Harbor, she swore to never have another relationship because she was always on the move, but she had settled down in Blue Bay, began high school in Blue Bay, began studying the fire ninja arts, even becoming a Power Ranger, just thinking about the morpher on her wrist brought a whole new set of problems, she had her brother's legacy to contend with, her brother was the best Ranger ever and she never knew it until now. How would he feel if he knew she wasn't the favorite daughter or sister to her family, she gotten into rollerblading because she thought she could win approval of her father. She taken lessons in karate because she needed out of the house then when Tommy joined their team she found a whole new family, Jason, Zach, Billy, Kimberly, and Trini had taken her under their wings as a little sister.

"Ree?" called a voice that sounded like someone was worried,

She looked up and saw Blake, tears stained cheeks caused Blake to take a step back, because he never saw the fire ninja cry.

"What the hell happen to you?" Blake asked, "or do you want me to get Tori?"

"Nothing, Hunter and I had an argument that's all, Why didn't you tell me he was the jealous type?" Desiree asked,

Blake looked confused, "So that's his problem, he's never been like this with anyone, not even me."

"Way to help me, bro. You better get out of here before Hunter comes and accuses me of cheating with you," Desiree stated.

"That's not possible, I'm not leaving you by yourself, and I'll punch my brother in the face if he does say something like that," Blake threatened,

"Friends like you, who need Lothor," Desiree teased, feeling somewhat like her normal self.

"We don't need him, but thanks for the compliment," Blake replied,

Desiree stood up from the pillows, "What time is it?"

"around five why?" asked Blake,

"Why else, you want to eat tonight don't you?" Desiree asked, "I'm not sure if I'll feed Hunter though, but I'll cook for you and Cam,"

"What about your sister?" Blake asked as he followed Desiree to the kitchen,

"I don't care, She can pour herself cereal for all I care," Desiree spat, "She told Hunter about most of my past in Angel Grove,"

"Small wonder, Ops is larger then it looks, underground kitchens and bedrooms," Blake commented,

"Yeah but guess who does the shopping now for this kitchen," Desiree replied, before pointing a finger at herself.

Desiree sighed as she rummaged around the makeshift kitchen, Blake leaded up against the wall, just guarding the fire ninja, he was going to be true to his word and punch his brother in the face if he even mentions Desiree cheating with him,

Desiree gathered, chicken, Alfredo sauce, noodles. She then turned to Blake, "Chicken Alfredo sound good?"

"Sure, I heard the first part of your argument, don't tell me there was more?" Blake stated as he watched Desiree move around the kitchen like a pro, she cut the chicken breast and put in a frying pan with olive oil, because the sauce heating, and the noodles cooking. She even found time to toast garlic bread,

"Blake, if you're going to stand there, would you mind grabbing plates and everything?" Desiree asked as she stirred the noodles.

Blake did as he was told, and came back,

"Watch this for a second, if I smell so much as one thing burning, I will have your thunder hide." Desiree growled

Blake nodded and stood by the cooking food,

Desiree left and went to her room, and grabbed her mp3 and speakers. She had a special connection cord so she could listen to music from the mp3. Then went back into the kitchen, to set it up.

"You listen to music while cooking?" Blake asked.

Desiree nodded while listening to the music, until one song came on. Perfect by Simple Plan. A song she related too, she forgot that Blake was even in the room. She started to sing, she wasn't a good singer like Angelica but she was passable.

Hey dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?

Do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?

'Cuz it hurts when you disapprove all doing

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't pretend that

I'm alright

And you can't change me,

Angelica and Cam walked into Ops, followed by Shane, Dustin, and Tori,

"Ree, singing?" Dustin asked.

"Shush," was the reply he got.

Hunter walked in then, holding his bloody nose. He forgot the threat of breaking Desiree's heart would end up Angelica breaking his face. He stopped long enough to hear someone singing, it sounded beautiful yet sad somehow.

He walked to the kitchen to find Blake watching Desiree cook dinner, Sensai gave everyone chores when they were staying with him and Cam, Desiree's job was kitchen detail because the last time anyone else tried to cook, it nearly blew up the kitchen and Ops. So Desiree put her foot down and declared she was going to cook all meals from then on. The crimson thunder ninja just stared in shock, as Desiree swayed back and forth to the music, as she was cooking.

Blake looked over as he heard footsteps coming into the kitchen, he saw his bro holding what looked to be a broken nose. He fought back a chuckle, but grabbed a towel and tossed it at his bro,

Hunter caught the towel and replaced it,

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be my hero?

All the days you spend with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't stand another fight

And nothing's alright

Desiree took the hot pot of cooked noddles and drained it, and gave equal amounts on each plate, she turned and around, and saw Hunter, her temper didn't even flare at the sight of him. But her sense of humor wanted to make a biting remark. But she just shook her head and went back to cooking supper, she guessed the others were here too. So she was glad she made enough for everyone.

She went back to the chicken, and added to the sauce. While she sang.

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said

Nothing's gonna make this right again

Please don't turn your back

I can't believe it's hard

Just to talk to you

'Cuz you don't understandDesiree finished the plates, each one a different color, leaving the Crimson and Ice-blue plates empty, she still wasn't going to feed them, Hunter blinked when he saw his own plate empty,

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

She carried the plates out and set them in front of the respective ranger,

"This looks great," Shane stated,

"Yeah, I'm glad you do the cooking here," Dustin agreed

"Where's mine?" Angelica and Hunter asked.

Desiree glared at them, "You have two hands make the plate yourself," she looked down at her plate, suddenly she wasn't hungry any more. She shoved to Angelica, "Eat, I can't kill you when you make that face."

She then stood up and walked out of ops.

"Hunter, I would apologize if I were you," Blake stated. "Unless you want another bloody nose,"

"You wouldn't do that to me, Bro." Hunter replied

"Try me, Desiree is the best person who has come into your life and you get angry and jealous over a friend," Blake retorted

"She dated him, what if she was with him when we were gone." Hunter asked.

"You weren't with her when we were gone, and I for one didn't like how you slept talked about her, its creepy bro." Blake stated

"You sleep talk?" Shane asked with a grin, before he and Dustin started laughing.

"Its not funny, and you weren't supposed to mention that." Hunter replied.

"Now you don't how Desiree feels like, you don't need to know everything about her, besides I know more about you then I care too." Blake reasoned

"I guess you're right," Hunter muttered

Angelica gripped her and whimpered, "she blocked me out all afternoon, now her emotional turmoil has crashed the barrier between our minds, I can feel her sadness, and her thoughts she think that its over between you two,"

Hunter nodded and walked out of ops to find Desiree. He found her watching the lay rays of sunlight fade from view,

"Lothor could attack and you won't even know it," Hunter greeted.

"What you're not going to yell at me some more, or do you want to argue about the stars this time?" Desiree asked. She rested her head on her knee as she was sitting on the ground with a knee pulled up her chest, with her arms wrapped around her, she turned to stare at Hunter,

"No, I'm done with arguing." Hunter replied, "Can I sit next to you or am I going to find somewhere else to sit?"

"Go ahead, its free country, at least it is for now." Desiree stated.

Hunter sat down beside her, wanting to reach out and hold her hand but he decided not too,

"Mind telling me what happen to your nose?" Desiree asked "It looks painful."

"Your sister, I didn't take your warning to heart, and let's say I got some sense knocked into me and I got the broken nose to prove it," Hunter answered

"Besides my sister punching you in face, anything else you want to talk about, my shoe size, blood type?"

"I wanted to say I'm sorry for overreacting, I just can't stand the thought of you being with someone else," Hunter apologized.

"Don't tell me, I'm your first girlfriend, unless you dated Kapri because Marah is taken by Dustin?" Desiree asked

"No, I didn't date Kapri, I don't think I could handle that." Hunter stated. "Besides I was morphed when I was on the ship, in other words yes you are my first, hopefully my only girl"

"Well There is always Kelly," Desiree teased, "So are we good and together or do I have to look for another team?"

"You're mine, always." Hunter replied as he reached over and wrapped an arm around Desiree's shoulders and pulled her against him.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Justin, he was just a little kid's crush on a older boy," Desiree whispered, "I'll try to be more open from now on,"

Hunter kissed the top of her head, "I know, Blake pointed out a few things too, I don't share enough about me either,"
