Chapter 3: Fallen

"Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so..."
-"Fallen" by Sarah McLachlan

At the Cyberspace, Ethan was running around busily at work. Conner was finishing up an essay that was due the next day.

"Hey," said Kira as she came in and sat down next to Conner.

"You know," said Conner, deeply immersed in the essay. "It's funny how on Sunday, the supposed 'day of rest', I still have to worry about this stupid paper."

"Maybe because you put it off until the last minute," Kira reminded him.

Conner nodded. "Or that."

Kira smiled. Just then, Trent walked in. Kira noticed he was alone. He walked over and sat down with Conner and Kira. "Hey guys."

Conner gave a slight wave and dove back into his project. "Where's Gwen?" Kira asked.

Trent was surprised at the icy tone he heard from her. "Uh, home. Why?"

Kira shrugged and didn't reply.

"Kira," Trent continued. "I, uh...I didn't get a chance to ask you how you were doing at work. That's kinda why I came by today."

"Oh." She didn't say more, which left Trent stung. "I should get going." She stood up to leave.

"Kira..."

"By the way, Trent," she said cooly. "You might want to get that lipstick off of you." Kira brushed a finger over the light imprint of lipstick on his cheek that Gwen had left when she kissed him. Kira raised an eyebrow and left.

Damn, thought Trent rubbing off the lipstick. I didn't even know that was there...

"Whoa dude," Conner said. He had stopped typing momentarily to watch the scene between Kira and Trent. "So what's going on between you and Gwen?"

"Nothing really...I don't get what's up with Kira," he said switching the subject. "I mean, nothing seems to work, so I try to move on and then I get that attitude."

Conner didn't know what to say. He knew that Trent had a thing for Kira, but couldn't Trent also tell that Kira had a thing for him?

"Well," Conner said. "Consider yourself lucky, dude. I'll see you tomorrow." He packed up his things and left the Cyberspace.

Trent was confused. Him? Lucky? What was Conner getting at?

As Conner drove home, all he could think about was Kira. Trent's lucky that it's him she likes, he thought. I doubt I'll ever get her to look at me as anything more than some dumb jock.

I'm hungry, Gwen though annoyed. She had been watching the small television in the living room for about an hour. The TV only got a couple of stations, but it was better than nothing.

Gwen got up and headed to the kitchen, hoping that they had at least provided her with food. She found boxes of frozen dinners in the freezer. Well, at least it's something...

"I see you're settling in well."

Gwen turned around. It was Elsa again. "Now what?"

"I have a message from Mesagog," Elsa said importantly.

"So why doesn't Mesagog tell me himself?"

Elsa scoffed at the idea. "He says to get Trent away from the Yellow Ranger."

"Huh?" Gwen asked confused. Why is Kira so dangerous to this project?

"We've been monitoring Trent and the Yellow Ranger has been somewhat of a distraction. When it comes down to it, we don't want to have to deal with her too." Before Gwen could respond, Elsa vanished back through a green portal.

Suddenly, Gwen wasn't hungry anymore. She was tired, pissed off, and confused. She would be starting at Reefside High tomorrow as part of her disguise, but it was hard for her to even think about trying to fit in when clearly there was no way she could. All she was supposed to be focused on was her assignment as with Elsa posing as principal of the school, things were supposed to be a piece of cake.

I just wanna go home, Gwen though miserably. I just wanna go back to Angel Grove...
