Hey people!

Again, like Terminator. I'm back! You can't get rid of me that easily.

Thanks for all the reviews! Since I've been constantly begged, here's an update for you.

As you'll probably realise, this is written from Dustin's perspective. It's like in a diary. I hope I got into his character well, but if I didn't please let me know with any comments to how I could make it better? I would appreciate that immensely. Please bear with me as I find it slightly difficult to get into a guys mind so you know, this is what I came up with.

This story is in conjunction with my other new one 'A Cure For The Itch' which is the other main characters perspective. It wouldn't matter if you didn't read both but it might be a good idea? Anyway, on with the story!

Disclaimer: This is purely FICTION, hence the site. If it was real, it would have happened in the series and if I owned Power Rangers, Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder would still be on. So take the hint, I don't own Power Rangers at all. I also don't own any of the other works mentioned.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 4

Dude, I think I have finally gotten somewhere. I don't mean with my class but with Kira. She seems to be coming around. Slowly, but surely.

I was up early this morning, trying to figure out what I could do to make it up to her. I stayed up most of last night trying to figure it out but I was still clueless when I finally turned out the light at 3:30am. Luckily, I know how to go without a lot of sleep. I was up at around 8am and was met with my mum in the kitchen. She was surprised I was up but didn't push to why. Dude, my mum is so cool like that. She gave me breakfast, my favourite. She sat down and for some reason started to tell me about where they used to take me and Kira when we were little. I have to admit, it sounded kind of cool. No way as cool as Blue Bay but you know.

At least she gave me an idea about cheering Kira up. It must have taken me around 15 minutes before I realised it though. I've always been quite slow on the uptake and even when it didn't matter whether I got it or not, I was still as slow as ever. One of these days, I am going to surprise every one with being on the ball.

She went out a while later with dad and the Ford's. I made Kira's breakfast. It amazed me that I didn't even burn anything because usually I drift and forget what I'm doing.

When she got up, I must have given her half an hour to eat before I dragged her out of the house, into my car and along the highway. I think her wrist is swollen. I must ask her about that. I've had enough tweaked wrists to know about them so she's probably in a lot of pain. She did a good job of hiding it though.

Damn, the girl is persistent. She wouldn't let up about knowing where we were going. That made me laugh a bit but I am the master at keeping secrets so I wasn't going to spill. Not even when she threatened to tell mum and dad I was gay. That wouldn't have gone down that well. I think it'd probably give them a heart attack. I knew all along that yellow was a whack colour for a guy. When I resisted (go me!), she started to look down. I can't take people pulling that face and looking down. It just makes me feel guilty and upset. I'm soft. I know. Don't rub it in. I had to liven up the atmosphere so I put my CD on. I thought she'd hate it but apparently, she likes my music. That's so cool because Tori and Shane both think it sucks bad.

She started singing along with it. Now I know why she was telling Shane about his voice. Because she sings good or should it be she sings well? Never mind. She is amazing to be honest. I couldn't help but smile at it.

We got there after around two hours. Long journeys are such a bummer. They really do bore me senseless. It's not so bad when I'm driving but still. She had no clue where we were and in actual fact, I didn't remember anything myself.

We walked around for a while and ended up on the swings. We did admit to each other of the lack of memories and it made me feel better. How bad would it be if she remembered and I didn't?

I did get her an ice cream though. It was funny watching her eat it. The wind kept blowing and her hair was going every where. She got some on her nose. It looked so adorable. Hold up, slow down and rewind. I know I said I found her attractive but adorable and attractive are different things. Adorable would imply I like her so I take it back and I'll go with, it looked attractive. That makes no sense does it?

She kept thinking I'd gone to a lot of trouble to bring up here but in honesty, I didn't. I just drove. It wasn't difficult. Even I could do it without getting lost.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I think that whenever you're with someone, whether you like them or not (and I don't like Kira before you start) you should pay attention to them. I've always been brought up like that. That guy's do the chivarrous, urgh, gentlemen-like thing for girls. You know, like open doors and buy them things. I get that from my dad I guess. Kira seemed overjoyed with it. I don't know why. Maybe the guys she knows aren't like that. It wouldn't be a shocker as it's pretty much dead these days.

Shane isn't like that. He expects the girl to be the same as the guy. 'They wanted equal rights, they got 'em' sort of thing. Blake and Hunter are the same. They never had anything done for them so don't expect to do anything for anyone else. I guess I can understand both points of view but it doesn't change how I act. I can't help it. I'm a dummy for romance. So sue me. At least Tori thinks it's sweet.

I had the day off from teaching. Another advanced Earth Ninja took the lesson because Sensai said I was looking warn down. I was instructed to have the day off and relax a few weeks ago but I never did so I took my time now. He can't punish me either! It was his idea! Ha!

I have to say, I have changed my mind about Kira quite a lot. When I first met her, I thought she was moody, self-absorbent and quite weird. I was, technically right, but she's a lot more than that. She's talented and she's funny, in a sarcastic, Cam-like sort of way and she is good to talk to when you get to know her. I think I'm starting to know her anyway. I think I still have a long way to go though, before I know her totally. Then again, it's expected, I've only really know her for three days. I have high expectations I think.

When we'd finished talking and stuff we set back off to Blue Bay. I did find out that she hangs out with guys called Ethan, Connor and Trent and has two other friends, Cassidy and Devin. They all sound fun but from what I can gather, totally, like, different from Kira. I don't know. They seem kind of an odd group.

We hadn't even been travelling for ten minutes before I glanced at her and she was out of it. She was, like, totally away. She does look very peaceful and pretty when she sleeps. It might be fun to watch her. What am I saying? Dude, someone knock some sense into me please. Maybe Tori's last punch made me lose my power of logical thought. I know it was shaky to begin with so, yeah. That could explain it.

I didn't want to wake her though when we did get back. I stood for about ten minutes wondering what to do or better yet, how to do it. I picked her up finally and my God dude, she isn't that easy to carry. Not that she's heavy or anything but I don't know, maybe I was just panicking she'd wake up. She didn't though, like she can sleep through anything. I couldn't make it to her room so I ended up putting her on the couch but I was nice and got a blanket for her.

I left her there after that and went to work on my bike in the back garden. It's been there for a while because I've been so bored at home recently, I needed something to do. This seemed like the best thing to keep me occupied but now I have the problem of getting it back into Kelly's. I'll worry about that when the time comes I suppose. It's not like the world's going to end because of it.

At 8pm, Kira finally woke up. It was quite funny. She looked dazed and somewhat out of it. Her hair was like, everywhere but she still looked good. Help me… please?

We went for something to eat then, all of us; all six of us. It started alright but went to worse. Apparently, me and Kira (or Kira and I) were out on a 'date'. My palms started sweating and I suddenly became, like boiling. It was strange. I was embarrassed, I know it, I just don't know why. I should have been able to just say, 'in fact, it wasn't' but I couldn't. It sucks but what sucks more is that I don't know why I couldn't say it. I will have to ponder (pg 419 in my dictionary) that for a while. Kira went red as Shane's old suit though, so at least it just wasn't me who was mortified. She covered and I had to thank her a lot for that because I would have probably looked even more pathetic if she hadn't.

When we got back to the house, Kira wanted to be alone, (I told you she was moody. Dude, her attitude changes like the weather), so went to her room. I stayed up a while longer and talked to my parents and the Ford's. It was awkward for most of it because the shame of before was still there and I swear, they didn't believe Kira. They still think it WAS a date, even if they don't say it. I know how adults work; Kelly's like that all the time. I've got pretty used to it now though.

I decided I was spent when I began yawning and made my way upstairs. Kira caught me however and unexpectedly, she thanked me for the day. That took me off guard because I was the one who was supposed to be making it up to her so I didn't see why she would have to thank me for anything. You know?

It was kind of dorky afterwards because we stood there, not moving, for around five minutes. Is that strange? I think it is. We just stood, smiling and looking at each other. I'm clueless to why. I did notice that Kira bites her lip when she's nervous nevertheless. It's genuinely hot when she does. Hmmm, this just proves how wiped I am. Kira's gone from attractive to adorable to hot in one entry. I think I'm loosing it.

Shane rang a few minutes later, which broke the silence. I could have killed him. I don't know why but I wanted to continue standing there, watching her. It was… cool. He just wanted to ask where I'd been all day, but I don't see why it couldn't have waited until tomorrow. He then started being Shane and said that, 'I (as in me, Dustin) love Kira' and singing that stupid, 'Dustin and Kira, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G' song. I am so going to lay into him next training session. Thinking about it, it does seem quite enjoyable. Huh? I need sleep. Desperately.

It's safe to say I think that after I've finished writing this entry, I'm going straight to sleep. I don't want any more thoughts like that because I like Marah. I think. I do, don't I? Not Kira? I'm so confused. Why do I always finish an entry being perplexed (pg 403)? I don' know. I'm going to go now because if I think anymore, I might hurt my head and I don't want that and I'm starting to scare myself with my thoughts. Maybe a good night's sleep will clear my head.

Update ya later, dude.

Dustin.

I would really, really, really appreciate it if you could take the time to review. Please? It means a lot to me…
