I'm so so SOOOO SORRY for how late I've been with this. I've finished all of my other unfinished fanfictions, but for some reason, inspiration just wasn't striking for my first ever fanfic. Again, I apologize sincerely for the delay. I can assure you that even though I haven't watched Power Rangers Megaforce in 6 years, I WILL finish this if it's the last thing I do. I know the pain of being invested in something only to find out the author has discontinued it. That being said, this story isn't fun for me anymore, so all I ask is that you're patient with me as I try my best to finish this. Thank you for staying by my side.

"By the way, I hate yellow, and those chocolates look expired," she called over her shoulder. Jake shook his head in shock. Since when was that true? Wait. Emma had told him about this. She would pretend she doesn't like it until he kept giving her something. You know, to prove how much he liked her. Oh, so she wanted to play it that way? Well, he could play that way. He had come prepared. Having friends in high places was a great thing. Emma was a big help, so he knew what to do. Gia kept walking… then, she heard Jake behind her.

"What is it?" She asked, trying to sound impatient, but the smirk on his face told her that she had failed… miserably. "Well, I thought you might not like it, so I brought this." He handed her a brown teddy bear that was holding a heart. She resisted the urge to gasp in delight. And the heart… it had her name on it! Gia clamped her mouth shut and tried to swallow her feelings. Jake watched her closely. He knew she wouldn't cave in just yet. Sure enough, she started to walk ahead once more, but not before taking the bear and putting it in her bag.

"It's fine," she said, not bothering to turn around to face him. She couldn't stand to see his face, or she might actually break down. "But its too… too… uh…" she struggled for an insult to the adorable bear. She had stopped in the hallway, trying to think of something, anything, to say. Jake smiled to himself and walked up again. He had one last trick up his sleeve. "I made this for you, by the way,'' he said casually, handing her a card. This time, it was his time to walk away.

With his signature soccer ball in hand, he walked off towards class. Gia however, gingerly read the card. It was so sweet! She couldn't stand it any longer. Her hands flew her mouth in delight, and she could feel tears coming to her eyes. Quickly, she blinked them away, and took out her little bear. "Hey, wait up!'' She called to him, as he stopped and mentally patted himself on the back. "Yeah?'' he asked her, playing with his ball. She sighed and decided to get this over with.

Jake deserved it anyways. "Thanks for the gifts,'' she started out by saying. Jake gazed at her. "Hey, no problem.'' She placed her hand on his arm, as he turned to face her. "Would you like to go to the dance with me?" She asked, to which he replied, "Yes! Uh… I mean, yeah, sure, no problem." Gia merely laughed, and the two walked towards class.

Meanwhile, Nao was in the computer room (as always) and was unaware of the "romantic" exchanges between his friends. He was intent on learning as much as he could about Disvaluntine. "Why do I get the feeling he'll strike today?" He asked himself. Suddenly, it hit him. What better day to strike than Valentine's Day?

"Uh, I better warn the others to stay on their toes!" he mumbled, and hastily got up to leave, bumping right into… Mr. Burley? "Uh… Mr. Burley!" Noah said, surprised. Instantly, he moved to cover his screen. He had forgotten to turn it off!

"Noah, a-are you playing games on a school computer?" The old teacher asked, moving side to side to catch a glimpse of the screen while Noah kept moving to block it from view.

"Honestly, I expected better from you… wait a minute. Is that the new version?" Mr. Burley asked, dropping his voice down to a whisper. But he could hardly contain the excitement creeping into his voice. Noah resisted the urge to be shocked, instead playing along. "Yeah, you caught me," he said, trying to sound defeated. But defeated wasn't a word in his vocabulary - not when battling the Armada.

Mr. Burley's expression softened. "Oh, well, I guess I'll let you carry on, just this one." Noah nodded gratefully, mostly because he didn't want to get in trouble. Noah turned around and began to shut the computer down, of course, after closing the "Power Rangers" tab and deleting it from the computer's history. "Oh, one more thing!" Someone suddenly spoke.

"Heya!" Noah shouted, immediately getting into a fighting stance, expecting an army of X-borgs to storm the door. But all he got was a very frightened Mr. Burley. "Mr. Burley!" Noah exclaimed, scrambling to cover the computer screen - again - since it hadn't exactly finished shutting down yet.

"Noah, I see you are a little on edge today, huh? That's okay. The recent invasion has been hard on everyone. I just came by to give you a little tip." The elderly teacher leaned closer. "I heard that level 4 is really, really hard. Good luck." Noah nodded his thanks as the teacher finally left the computer lab. He shook his head in relief and closed down the desktop computer.

"Now, to warn my friends ASAP!" Noah said to himself. The bell rang, signaling for him to get to class. First things first," he said with a sigh. "Class time."

That afternoon after school was out for the day, Gia came up to Emma's locker. "Hi Emma!" She chirped cheerfully. Emma glanced at her in mock surprise. "Wow, you seem cheerful today!" She teased, grabbing her bag and slinging it over her shoulder. Gia laughed and ducked her head. Glancing up at her again, Gia asked, "Wanna hang out at Ernie's today? I've got some things I wanna tell you."

Emma nodded. "Same here. I've had the best day so far. Gia grew serious now. "Also, Noah said there was something he wanted to talk to us about, and he said it was important." Emma stopped in the middle of the hallway. "You don't think… it's about Disvaluntine, do you?" she asked, slight fear creeping into her voice. Gia placed her hand on Emma's arm reassuringly. "Whatever it is, we need to get there fast so he can spill." Emma in turn nodded and the two girls speed-walked to Ernie's.

Meanwhile, the boys all gathered at Jake's locker where he was grinning like crazy. Sure Troy was happy, but Jake was just going over the top. So over the top that even Noah noticed. "Hey guys," he said, coming over to Troy and Jake who were just about to head down to the computer lab to get him.

Again, I'd like to apologize for the horrid delay and thank you all again by staying by my side through this story. I'll do my best to finish this story this year. I will ask, what do you all want to happen next? Let me know in the comments as it would greatly help me garner inspiration for the coming events in this fic. Love you all:)
