Cole blinks twice, before completely opening his eyes. Once he can keep his
eyes open, he realizes that he's no longer feeling any more pain,
throughout his whole body. He smiles and thinks to himself, 'Alyssa's
medicine worked great!' He turns to the right of him, to see that Alyssa
was still sleeping. He smiles at her, thinking of how beautiful she looks,
even when she's sleeping.
Then he leans over and lightly kisses her cheek. She stirs a little bit in her sleep, and then sighs out, as she remains still. Cole smiles, and then slowly climbs out from beneath the blankets he's under. From there, he climbs out of the tent, instantly feeling the warm and fresh morning air hit his skin. He smiles and walks to Alyssa's tent, to grab the breakfast bowls and food.
Alyssa had brought along some left-overs from breakfast. And to save time, she placed some into each of the bowls. Cole starts up a small fire, and places the bowls by the fire to heat them up. Alyssa was still sleeping, and shifts a little more in her sleep. While breakfast is heating, Cole takes a little time, to stare out at the brand new day. The sun shining bright, birds chirping, a few animals in the background.
He takes a little more time to think about life, before he looks down and sees, that breakfast is all ready. Cole smiles and grabs both bowls, but lets the fire keep up. He grabs the plastic forks inside of his bag, and then walks back up to Alyssa's tent. He climbs inside, and sits in his spot, and places the bowls between them. He opens the lids, and then looks to Alyssa, who's still sleeping.
He smiles at her, and thinks to himself, "Alyssa, your always there for me, when I needed someone. You helped me to cope, when I found out about my parents. You were there to help me with Red Lion when he was in trouble. You stood up for me numerous times, no matter what when I first became a ranger. There were times when you pushed me out of harm's way, and took the hit yourself. And then just last night, you saved my life."
"Through it all, you've stood by me, and helped me to learn the meaning of trust. Not to mention, you've been the best friend a guy could ask for. And now, I want to be there for you. Your shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with. Someone to share memories with. Through the good and bad times. Someone to really call a friend. Whenever you need me." Cole smiles and then leans over and kisses Alyssa's cheek once more.
Then he places a hand to her left cheek. "Alyssa?" Alyssa stirs a little bit, but remains asleep. Cole calls out her name again, and she opens her eyes. She sees a handsome and familiar face in front of her own, and then she smiles. She sits up and hugs him excitedly, though not too tighly, and exclaims, "Cole, your okay!" Cole wraps his arms around her waist, and smiles. Then he says, "yeah, I'm okay."
Alyssa smiles, and pulls back to look at him, while he explains, "and I have you to thank for that." Alyssa smiles at him and says, "your welcome." She stops for a brief second and continues, "besides," and while Cole looks at her, she continues, "what are friends for?" Cole smiles and Alyssa smiles back, but then turns her head, "something smells good." Cole answers, "oh, yeah. I heated up breakfast. Ready to eat?"
Alyssa nods her head, "starving." Cole smiles, "in that case," and picks up the bowls and forks and hands one (bowl and fork) to Alyssa. She smiles and takes the bowl, and they both begin to eat. After the first bite, Alyssa gently takes Cole's left arm, and asks him with concern, "is your arm feeling better?" Cole nods his head, "much. I don't even really feel any more pain." Alyssa smiles, "good."
Then she asks him, "how about your chest? I think that was a little worse than your arm was." Cole answers, "oh, not bad. Just a little pain, but it'll go away within no time." Then he asks her, "speaking of which, is your leg any better?" Alyssa nods, "yeah. Thanks. I don't feel too more pain, either." Cole nods, "good." After they each take another bite, Alyssa speaks up, "after we're done, I'll rebandage your chest for you. I think another bandaging will do it some good." Cole nods gratefuly at his friend, and she smiles, while they continue to eat.
Back On The Animarium
The three rangers rise to a brand new day, and start from their rooms, to the smell of, "ooh, pancakes," Max speaks up, "bacon," Danny says next, and, "eggs," Taylor finishes. They walk towards the main area of the Animarium, to see Princess Shayla standing in front of the table. Taylor is the first to greet her, "good morning, Princess." And both the guys say, "hey, Princess."
Princess Shayla smiles, "good morning, rangers. Breakfast is served," and from there, she steps back, to reveal the table. All set with the plates of food, forks, napkins, and juice. All the rangers admire the scene before them, "wow!" "That looks good!" "Thanks, Princess!" Princess Shayla smiles, "your welcome, rangers. Enjoy," and from there, she turns around and starts to head for the forest. That is, until Taylor asks her, "where are you going, Princess?"
Princess Shayla answers with a smile, "for a little walk. I'm going to go talk with the wild zords for a little while." After the three nod their heads, Princess Shayla makes her way into the forest. The three turn to each-other, and then after nodding their heads in agreement, make their way to the table, where they begin to eat breakfast.
Back At Camp
Alyssa was rebandaging Cole's chest. The two were standing outside in the warm morning air, trying to get in a little more fresh air. She had already sprayed the cleanser, which did sting a little, and was now working on the cream. She squeezes some of the cream onto a bandage. But before applying it, she asks him, "are you ready?" As Cole smiles, Alyssa warns him, "its pretty cold."
Cole shakes his head, the smile still on his face, "I'll be okay. Don't worry." Alyssa says, "okay," and applies the bandage to his chest. He jumps a little, realizing that Alyssa wasn't kidding around. "You weren't playing. That is cold!" Alyssa laughs, "are you okay?" He nods again, the smile still on his face, "yeah, I'm fine." Alyssa nods her head and smiles. Cole smiles back and looks down at her. She looks back up at him, and the two look into each-other's eyes for a minute.
Without realizing it, Cole starts to lean his head down a little, and Alyssa leans up towards him. Their lips just touch, when they both hear a faint animal sound in the distance. They snap back, and then Alyssa wonders, "do you think it might be another lost zord?" Cole answers excitedly, "it could be. Come-on!" He starts to take her hand, and lead the way, when Alyssa calls out, "Cole, hold-on!"
Cole turns back to Alyssa, who explains, "your not completely bandaged up yet." Cole looks down to see that she was right. He had a few bandages on his chest, but everything hadn't quite healed. And those were the parts that Alyssa hadn't got to yet. He looks up, with a modest smile, "oops. I guess I didn't realize it." Alyssa shakes her head, "don't worry. Let me just finish up real quick." Cole nods and walks back to Alyssa, who proceeds to finish bandaging him up.
5 Minutes Later
Cole leads Alyssa through the woods, as they follow the sound of the animal spirit. He starts to turn left, when Alyssa cries out, "Cole, wait!" Cole turns around to Alyssa, who asks him, "shouldn't we be heading in the other direction?" They start to head the other way, but then they both spin around, to see themselves facing a large bird. "Oh, a dove!", Alyssa cooes. Cole wonders, "wow, I wonder what its doing out in the woods?"
Alyssa shrugs her shoulders, "maybe it decided to take a little flight, and ended up here." Then she looks at the bird once more, who looks back at them, and begins to chirp. Alyssa turns to Cole, "what's it saying, Cole?" Cole looks the bird to Alyssa, back to the bird, and answers her question, "she's telling us, she has the new wild zord for us." Alyssa smiles, with a sigh, and then opens her eyes wide in surprise, when the bird stretches both its wings, and from behind the left one, appears a clear animal crystal.
Alyssa holds out her left hand, and the crystal lands in the palm of her hand. She smiles, as she and Cole, who stands behind her, study the dove figure inside of it. Alyssa looks up at the dove and smiles, "thank you." The dove chirps again, and then after Cole tells Alyssa, the bird just said, "your welcome," the bird lifts up its wings, preparing for flight. As its feet lift up from the ground, it begins flapping its wings, sweeping up a little dust.
Alyssa and Cole both watch the dove preare its flight, with both of their hair, flying with the breeze. They watch as the bird chirps once more, before flying off high into the sky. Alyssa turns around to face Cole, "its probably heading for the Animarium. We should get going, too." Cole nods his head, "right." And then, they both turn around to head back for camp.
Back At The Animarium
Princess Shayla and the rangers, stand at the cliff, looking around at all of the wild zords, roaming around in the animarium's forest. Danny watches the byson in admiration, while he and the tiger and the lion race around the forest. And Max watches his shark jump around in the water. He watches as it first swims around, and then lunges into the air. He laughs and then watches, when it falls back into the water.
Taylor looks up and watches her eagle fly through the sky. It swoops down a little, and then flies back up. And Princess Shayla watches each of the wild zords carefully. She looks from the eagle, to the shark, to the tiger, to the lion, to the byson. But everyone is distracted from watching the zords, when Taylor speaks up, "I wonder if Alyssa and Cole found anything yet." Princess Shayla smiles politely at Taylor, and then everyone's attention is diverted to Max, who speaks up next, "yeah, I want to find out what kind of wild zord they've discovered."
Princess Shayla nods her head, "we all are, Max." Max nods his head, while the Princess continues, "but, don't you two worry. They'll be here soon. I can sense it." The others nod their heads, when Danny says, "I wonder what kind of wild zord it is." Princess Shayla smiles, but is unable to say anything. But she doesn't have to, because she, as well as the others, turn around towards the sky, and look in admiration, when they see a bird, follow the eagle towards the animarium.
When they land closest to the cliff, the rangers and Princess Shayla, run towards the edge of the cliff. They make sure not to get too close to the cliff, but close enough to where they can all see the bird. But suddenly, they all jump back in a little surprise, when the eagle and the dove swoop up into the air, and fly right in front of them. When they all get a good look at the new wild zord, they begin to comment. First Taylor speaks up, "oh, wow! Another flying zord."
Princess Shayla speaks up, "oh, its a beautiful dove." Max and Danny look at the dove, and Max speaks up first, "cool," and Danny speaks up, "wow! That's a beautiful bird. Do you think it'll sing, Princess?" While Max sucks his teeth, with a smile at his best friend, the Princess shrugs her shoulders, with a smile, "it might." They continue to admire the new wild zord, when they hear two familiar voices, "Princess Shayla?" "Guys, where are you?" Everyone turns around, and Taylor speaks up, leading everyone, "Cole and Alyssa are back."
The four make their way through the forest, towards the Animarium. They reach the main part of it, and when they all meet up, Taylor and the Princess greet Alyssa with small hugs, and Danny and Max slap palms with Cole. Alyssa speaks up first, exclaiming, "we found a new wild zord!" Princess Shayla nods her head, "we know. Oh, and its such a beautiful dove." Alyssa and Cole exchange confused looks, and Alyssa asks, "uh....you knew?" While the Princess nods her head, Taylor explains, "the eagle led it here to the Animarium, just before you guys arrived."
While the two nod their heads in understandance, Max asks them, "so, altogether.....how was your trip?" Alyssa and Cole turn to each-other, before Cole speaks up, "not bad." Alyssa nods her head, "yeah, um.....aside from the wolves." Taylor looks at them, concerned, "wolves? Did they attack?" Alyssa starts to explain, before Cole shakes his head, "don't worry about it. Everything's okay, we're okay, and we've got a new wild zord to welcome to the Animarium."
Alyssa nods her head, avoiding the subject, "good point." While their friends look at them in concern, Alyssa changes the subject, "look, how about you guys go back and see the new wild zord, and-oh! Speaking of which...." she fades off, and opens her left hand, revealing the crystal. Princess Shayla's eyes go wide in admiration, while she admires the crystal in Alyssa's hand.
Alyssa hands Princess Shayla the crystal, and as the Princess starts towards the forest, Taylor remains for a minute, with the guys behind her, to tell Alyssa and Cole, "what were you guys saying?" Alyssa concludes, "oh! All I was saying was that, as soon as we're done packing, we'll meet up with you guys." Taylor nods her head, "alright. See you guys in a few?" Alyssa and Cole nod their heads, and then Taylor nods again, and starts after the Princess, with Max and Danny following.
Alyssa watches them leave, before turning to Cole, while reaching for a bag "Cole, as soon as we finish packing, do you-" but Cole cuts her off, when he takes both of her hands. "Alyssa?" Alyssa looks up at Cole, nodding her head, a questionable look on her face. Cole tries to find his words, "look....about what happened earlier-" Alyssa tries to say, "Cole-" but he stops her again. "Its okay, Alyssa." Alyssa looks up at Cole, who explains, still holding her hands, "the thing is.....I don't regret what would've happened, if that wild zord had come a second sooner."
Alyssa shakes her head, "I don't think I would've regretted it either." Cole nods, with a small smile, "that's good to know." While Alyssa nods her head, Cole starts again, "because then it makes this a whole lot easier to do." And from there, Cole leans in and brushes Alyssa's lips with a small kiss. He pulls back, after a second or two, and then after he does that, he lets out the breath he'd been holding, "well, now that I've done that, I think that this next step will be a piece of cake."
Alyssa lets off a confused look, until Cole smiles and asks her, "Alyssa, could I take you out sometime? For lunch or something?" Alyssa asks him, teasing him just a little bit, "Cole, are you asking me out on a date?" Cole looks down at Alyssa, who looks back up at him, with a smile forming on her lips. He smiles back, "that's exactly....what I'm doing." Alyssa's smile brightens a little more, as she replies, "in that case, I'd love to." Cole looks at Alyssa, and then smiles at her.
She smiles back at him, but then they both turn around, when they hear a familiar, yet teary voice say, "that is so beautiful." While Alyssa smiles, with her head against Cole's shoulder, Cole looks into the distance, and then smiles with her, when the two see, their friends come in from the forest, and watching the wild zords.
First Taylor walks in, a grin on her face, and then Max, all smiles, and then Danny, holding a tissue in his hand, dabbing it at his eyes, and then Princess Shayla, with a similar grin on her face. The four stop at about four feet from the two, and smile at them. Alyssa and Cole, look to their three friends, and their mentor and smile back. And then Alyssa picks her head up from Cole's shoulder, to smile at him. And while he smiles back at her, their friends and mentor still stand there, smiling back at them.
The End
I am so sorry, that chapter tok so long to finish. I felt so bad, because I figure that I could've finished all this a week ago, it was just hard trying to find time to finish this chapter between school and homework, and practice (after school thing). But, now that the last chapter is up, I hope you guys enjoy it. And, I think that in a little while, if I get imaginative enough, I'll do a story of their date. Like that idea? Let me know if you do, and I'll start on writing it!
Then he leans over and lightly kisses her cheek. She stirs a little bit in her sleep, and then sighs out, as she remains still. Cole smiles, and then slowly climbs out from beneath the blankets he's under. From there, he climbs out of the tent, instantly feeling the warm and fresh morning air hit his skin.
