The voice from the heart By cgdmgirl
It was a normal and quiet morning on Mariner Bay. Joel left his quarters to meet his friends for breakfast. As usual, the first one he saw was Chad, who had already taken his breakfast and was reading the newspaper.
"Hey, man. What's up?" asked Joel, as he pulled a chair and sat next to the blue ranger.
"Good morning, Joel." Chad answered. "I'm sorry to inform you but they're out of pancakes today."
"That's okay, I'm not really hungry. I'll just have some orange juice."
"Okay then. Did Carter left already?"
"I guess so, when I got up he wasn't there anymore. Where did he go anyway?"
"He went training on the park. He said he didn't knew what time he'd be back"
At that moment, they saw Kelsey coming into the room and heading to their table. "Good morning, guys." She said still feeling very sleepy.
"Good morning." said Chad
"Hey, Kelsey. Where's Dana?" Joel asked his friend
"She went to the park with Carter."
"Why? That's not very typical of her." Chad asked, confused.
"I don't know for sure actually. She said she needed to do more exercises, to be fit for the other battles. I didn't bite it, but if she wants to get in shape, good for her."
But the three rangers had no idea of what was going on at that exact same time at the park.

The sky was blue, with no clouds, making Mariner Bay Park even more pretty. At an open field in the middle of the trees, Carter and Dana were training together. They were both on a fight position, ready to attack each other.
"Come on, I'm waiting" Carter said
"Don't push me, Carter." Dana replied. "I hate when someone does it" "Hey, I'm not pushing you, it's just." Dana suddenly attacked, surprising Carter. But he was fast enough to dodge from her. She turned around and tried kicking him. He defended himself with his left arm, but then she hit him again on his right. He made up his mind and began to fight her back, using his martial arts abilities to win. Dana was faster than he'd thought. Since they became rangers, her fighting skills had improved a lot and his too. They were taking that training pretty seriously and both were trying to win. Carter used his right arm to grab her hands, but on a quick second, Dana protected herself, grabbed his wrist and passed her leg behind both his legs, making Carter fall on the ground his back. She had won. Dana got on her knees beside her defeated opponent. She had a proud smile on her face.
"So. looks like I've won." she said, putting her hands on her waist.
"I haven't given up yet." Carter grabbed one of her arms and pulled her towards him. Dana screamed surprised, falling on top of him. Their faces got really close, as they laughed at the situation, looking straight into each other's eyes. After she'd stopped laughing, Dana kept staring at Carter's deep blue eyes. She put her hand on his head and started touching his hair. Carter just lay down, without saying a word. He couldn't stop looking at Dana.
"I'm glad you came here with me" the red ranger finally said.
"I'm glad you asked me to" Dana smiled and gave Carter a quick kiss on the cheek. Then, she got up and stood next to him. "Need a hand?" she offered to help him get up.
Carter took her hand and stood up. They looked at each other for a moment and smirked. Then Dana turned around and walked towards her training bag, to get a towel and a bottle of water. Carter waited a few seconds before he did the same.
"So. how am I doing?" Dana asked while whipping her face with a small towel.
"Well, I think your doing okay. I mean, you've improved a little" Carter answered with sarcasm.
"Just okay?" "Yeah, I guess" Carter stopped for a brief moment, but after noticing the look on Dana's face he tried to explain his comment better. "Look, we have already fought a lot together and since the day we've become rangers our combat abilities have improved very much, especially yours, which wasn't the best one."
Dana gasped. Carter, on the other hand, as he put all his belongings back on his bag, couldn't help from laughing at his own joke.
"Exactly what do you mean by that?" Dana came closer to him, with her hands on her waist.
"Come on Dana, let's face it. Fighting isn't one of your best qualities."
She gasped again, feeling shocked with the comments she was hearing. "Oh yeah." Dana held her towel firmly on her hand and walked towards Carter, trying to hit him with it. With the first strike, he moved back. But then, he quickly leaned forward and managed to grab the other side of the towel. Carter pulled it on his direction and, as Dana was still holding tight, she went too. The two of them got really close to each other, like they had just hugged. The pink ranger let go of the towel and put both her hands on Carter's arms. He held her close by putting his hands around her waist. Dana looked up, right into his eyes and smiled. Carter returned the look.
"You just love messing with me, don't you?"
"Of course I do. What's the fun of having a girlfriend if you can't make fun of her and vice versa?
Dana waited until she replies. But at the same time, she didn't look else where besides Carter. She gave a very quick smile, which Carter didn't understand.
"So, that's what I am now. your girlfriend?"
"Sure, at least I hope you are."
"Yeah, I guess I could say that. It's just that it's the first time I hear you calling me your girlfriend."
"I know. But now on, I think I'm going to say this more often. I like the sound of it."
They laughed. Then Dana rushed over and hugged Carter tightly. She didn't remember felling this happy before. Just to hear those words coming out of Carter made her feel like her heart would explode at any moment because of how fast it was beating. Carter was feeling relived. He wanted to say that to her since they'd got together. Not only to her, but to the whole world. Now he was sure, they were really a couple.
As they filled their minds with these thoughts, they heard a voice coming from Carter's morpher. It was Captain Mitchell.
"Carter, we've got problems. You and Dana go downtown, at the construction area. The others are on their way. They'll meet you there."
"Understood, captain. Come on Dana, duty calls." The two rangers grabbed their things and headed to the location given.
