Chapter 11
Three months later
Marah smiled as she watched the sun set. It was another gorgeous night in Blue Bay. Or maybe it was because she was feeling happy with her life.
She was a power ranger and had helped stop Lother time and time again. Being good was really fun and fulfilling; Dustin had been right about that. She remembered his words when he had taken pity on her at the motocross track. Don't knock being good until you've actually tried it.
Dustin, his very presence always thrilled her but they barely had any chance to speak to each other. Their battles as the power rangers and the motocross tournaments he was in were both very time consuming.
She sighed, I should get some courage and tell him how I feel, and I'll do it tonight.
As she arrived she was met by Hunter who gave her a big smile. "Hey Marah" he then looked shy, "you look really great today".
Marah nodded, "thank you Hunter" she replied politely. She knew he had a little crush on her but there was only one person who could interest her. "Have you seen Dustin?"
Hunter tried to keep the smile on his face but it faded a little when she mentioned Dustin. Hunter sighed; he had to fall for a girl who would never feel anything for him in return. Dustin, he thought to himself, you don't know how lucky you are. "Yeah he went to Blue Bay point; he thought you might be there".
Marah smiled to herself at how well Dustin knew her. It was one of her favorite places to be. "Thanks Hunter I better get there".
She got there in record time and found him. "Why are you sitting in the dark?" she asked him.
"Watching a nice sunset but there was no one to enjoy it with".
She sat next to him. "I was at the beach I assumed you'd be on that bike of yours".
"I do get off it every now and then".
Marah laughed at that as Dustin watched her silently. She was so beautiful. Her hair was now longer down to her waist and her eyes were no longer angry or haunted looking.
He burned with jealousy every time any one looked at her; he was quite tempted to beat up Hunter for it.
Marah took a deep breath and at the same time both said, "I need to tell you something".
"You go first" she told him.
"No you can" he replied looking nervous.
"Dustin this is ridiculous, we're power rangers we've faced bigger odds than this. Electro, Lother, and countless other things why don't we say what we want to say at the same time?"
Dustin nodded, "sounds good to me".
They both counted to three, and then said, "I love you".
They stared at each other in shock. "You love me?" again it was said by both of them.
Marah nodded, "that's what made me what I am now, yes it was my decision but that's how it began".
"Its how I knew Lother was going to hurt you and I knew I had to help you".
Marah wasn't sure which one moved first, maybe they both did but they were in each other's arms sharing a kiss.
He soon broke it, "We need to talk about a certain ranger".
Marah smiled, "Dustin jealousy is cute on you but only to a certain extent, I don't have any feelings for Hunter, there's only one ninja storm ranger that I like, that'll never change".
Marah smiled as he embraced her and they stood like that for quite a long time.
