An: Done in response to the Ars Amatoria's Ranger Romance Themes Challenge. Yes, I know these two weren't a Canon Couple, but I liked them way too much to pass this up. The first 20 stories are set during Dino Thunder, the second 20 are after and will be mostly AU (I'm not gonna touch on the DT/SPD team up at all).

"Explain to me why we're here again?" Ethan asked as Kira dragged him to the stands that sat overlooking the soccer field at Reefside High School.

"Because Ethan," Kira started, pulling him to sit down on the bench beside her. "He's been nice enough to encourage both of our interests, despite the fact that he picks on you for yours. The least we can do is be here to be supportive of his."

Ethan just stared at Kira before smiling tightly and mumbling something about her having a thing for him. "What was that Ethan?"

"So says the girl in Yellow. This had better be a good game, or he's gonna get razzed."

"It will be. They're playing Surfside," Kira just grinned.

"Oooh…our mortal enemies. I wonder if they play as well as Zeltrax and Elsa fight?" Ethan quipped.

Kira couldn't help but laugh at the comparison. "Let's hope not, I doubt you and I know anything about soccer."

Ethan just grinned. The two turned their attention to the field when the announced began to introduce the Reefside Boys Varsity Soccer Squad. "Last but not least, Conner McKnight, Senior and Captain of the Reefside Varsity Team!"

Kira and Ethan cheered for Conner as his name was called. The Red Ranger looked startled to see them in the stands, but smiled brightly nonetheless. The other members of the team were confused as to why Conner was smiling all of a sudden. Normally, he was pumped but dark before a game, and here he was looking goofy and giddy.

"Final score – Reefside 6, Surfside 4; Good Game!"

"Damn he's good," Ethan joked as he and Kira moved over to hang out by Conner's car so they could congratulate him on his three goals and a well played game.

"Hey guys!" Conner greeted, jogging over, a gym bag slung over his shoulder.

Ethan and Kira grinned. "Congrats on the win."

Conner glowed. "Thanks."

"Conner? You coming?"

"Maybe later!" he called to his fellow teammates, before he turned to Kira and Ethan again. "I'm gonna head home and change. See you at Hayley's?"

"You got it," Kira told him.
