It has been a few days since the last attack by Link Joker, and since they ran into Xross Force Red. Morgana was thinking as she couldn't help but she seemed to recognize the fighting style of the one who helped.
"Whoever she is that ranger seemed...happy to be fighting with me. Yet when she had to leave she was seeming like it was the last thing she wanted to do." Morgana thought then shakes her head.
Morgana though took the advice that was given "Take time for what matters most outside of the suit." She recalled as she was out with Kathy, Frankie, Minerva, Charles, and Cody while Drew was with his cousin Epona. It was starting to snow, and while they all were enjoying it the winter time also reminded them of someone that wasn't there to celebrate it with them.
"Is this how you all felt when you were looking for me?" Kathy asked as Charles nods.
"Yeah, but now it's only worse. We know Nora may...may be to far gone." Charles said looking down and sighed.
The whole group was worried about Nora, but they also knew that something was bound to happen sooner or later. They all just wondered why Nora went with an enemy, and what it could possibly mean for them.
Frankie grits her teeth "She's not gone Charles. I know that Nora would never do this. Maybe...maybe she just feels hurt." Frankie told them.
They all considered this and looked down as they knew that the kidnapping had hurt her. Yet if she felt like how she did then why didn't she say anything to them.
Charles looked at them, and deciding to change the subject/find a way to cheer them up he cleared his throat "You know Sol Academy's winter dance is going to be in a few days. So how about we take this small moment of peace and discuss plans for it?" He suggested turning to Frankie.
"Have you asked Shawn to it yet?" He asked.
Frankie blushes "Umm...uhh...well...maybe I have...okay no I haven't." She says flustered.
Morgana rolled her eyes "Then ask him already. Poor guy is being hounded by the angels. Sooner or later he'll crack, and say yes to one just to shut them up." Morgana said, and Frankie bites her lip not just in annoyance, but a seething hate for one of the angels in particular
Minerva sighs "People do crazy things to catch another's attention don't they?" She asked then glances to Kathy before looking away with a blush. Kathy didn't notice it as she just nodded in agreement.
Cody rubs his head "Umm...actually not all of the angels are that bad. I mean Athena did..." He started then closed his mouth, but the group was already looking at him.
Charles grinned "You sly devil. Now how in the world did you ask out one of the angels without getting made fun of?" Charles asked nudging Cody.
Cody blushed "Umm...actually Athena was being bullied by some other girls, and a few jocks." Cody started to explain and they stopped to listen interested.
"One of the girls pushed her down, and tossed soda on her. Athena got up and pushed the other girl down, but the rest grabbed a hold of her." He continued on as he was recalling all of this.
"One of the jocks was the other girl's boyfriend, and decided he was going to 'teach her a lesson' for messing with his girl." Cody then told them.
"You don't mean he was going to..." Kathy started, and Cody nods.
"He pulled back to punch, and I don't know what came over me. I went on auto pilot so to say because next moment I'm in front of Athena, caught the punch, and pushed the guy away." Cody explained rubbing his neck.
"It was then that the headmistress came, saw what was going on, and after looking at the camera's the jock, his girlfriend, and there friends were suspended." He finished.
Kathy giggled "Sounds like you impressed Athena." She said.
Cody blushed "Y-Yeah. Not long after that, and the group being suspended she asked me to the dance." He says.
"You sure this isn't a trick by them?" Frankie asked eyes narrowed.
Cody nods "I asked that as well, and she even told me it wasn't. I...I think she actually has a crush on me, but couldn't really say anything till now." Cody said.
Morgana hummed "I guess with our blind dislike for them maybe we failed to notice that the four of them stick together, and look out for each other in a similar way to our own." She says.
Kathy nods "Guess none of us really noticed if any of them were possibly getting bullied." She said.
"Though do you think her friends will support her choice in boyfriend?" Minerva asked.
Charles nods "If there is one thing I know about the four angels is that even if one makes a dumb mistake they'll support that mistake." He said.
"So Frankie is going with Shawn, Cody is going with Athena, and most of the rest of us are single I guess for this event." Morgana notes as the rest sigh except for her.
Kathy was the one to notice "You said most...umm sis...do you actually?" Kathy started as Morgana blushed.
"I...yeah I actually have someone. We've been dating for some time now. You'll meet the person tonight." Morgana said as she giggles.
Though both older siblings noticed how Kathy glanced to Minerva before looking away while Minerva looked to be avoiding eye contact at all.
While they were teasing or asked Morgana who her date was the two older siblings glanced at one another before giving a small nod.
"Maybe, but you never know." Charles said, and the rest of the day was spent hanging out with one another, and having fun.
=UNIVERSE=
A heavy snow fell that night limiting the groups plans, but decided to spend time with there mentors and the rest upon the Moonrunner.
Macha and Ahsha weren't surprised to see them, but were overall glad. Kathy took off to see Ramiel as she had been learning a bit from the angelic nurse. Charles and Frankie was off sparing with Ethics Buster as well as learning a few new techniques he hopes will help them in the coming fight.
Morgana, Drew, Cody, and Minerva were listening to the stories that Cocytus was more than willing to tell. Many of which surprised them or just made them laugh at how absurd some of them were at times.
Epona had joined them as well, and was with the mentors helping them with putting the finishing touches on the ranger database. In exchange Macha was checking over Epona's Deity Drives and Taiyou Driver.
Macha hummed as she looked over the data she was receiving from her magic scan of the belt "Interesting. I don't know how exactly to explain it, but this Driver of your's is very special Epona." She said.
"Yes. Normal people aren't meant to touch it. So that makes me wonder what it says about you Epona." She said as it gave Epona something to think about.
Kathy came out of her lesson with Ramiel the angel patting the girl on her back "You have quite the talent Kathy. You'd make an excellent nurse or doctor if you tried." Ramiel says as the young girl blushed.
"I'm not that good." She says.
Ramiel smiles shaking her head "Nonsense Kathy. In fact I think you'd be able to give myself or Zacriel a run for our money. Though you are only still learning." Ramiel told her.
"T-Thank you." Kathy says, and notices Morgana.
"I know would be cutting our lesson short, but I'd like to spend time with my sister. I mean if it's not to much trouble." Kathy said to her.
Ramiel nods, and the younger girl takes off towards her sister who was laughing a bit still from the story that Cocytus had just finished.
Kathy sits down "Hey sis." Kathy said.
Morgana smiles "What's up Kathy?" she asked as Kathy rubs her neck glancing towards Minerva then back to her sister.
"Umm...I was wondering if maybe you'd like to spar? You know let off a bit of steam?" Kathy asked.
Morgana got up and stretches "Sure. I could use the practice." She said, and the two headed for one training rooms aboard the ship.
After entering Morgana glanced to the types of wooden weapons Macha had crafted for them to spar with. Protective gear appeared on them as the room had been enchanted by Morgana so they'd instantly be in protective gear for sparring. This was decided upon after the whole fight between Charles and Kathy that time ago.
"So what you up to using today? Your usual?" Morgana asked throwing Kathy a wooden copy of Blaster Blade to her.
Kathy looks at it, and then shakes her head tossing it back before pointing at the wooden double of Blaster Dark.
"I need to get use to the weight, and I feel like fighting with it is a bit different than with Blaster Blade. I mean a good kind of different." Kathy says and Morgana nods throwing the wooden double to her while she picked up the wooden double of her thunder sword.
Morgana stood on one end and Kathy on the other as a red light shined above them. After about then seconds it turned green signaling the start of the spar. Morgana charged right at Kathy and gave a hard overhead swing.
Kathy raised her weapon to block and braced herself so when the attack made contact she skids back only a little bit. Kathy spun swinging her blade in the moment that Morgana backed off to recover, and hits her solid.
Morgana didn't skid back, but winced feeling a bit of the blow. She thrust the blade forward forcing Kathy to dodge, but Morgana then swung it the blunt side hitting Kathy knocking her to the side as well as off balance.
To Morgana's surprise Kathy was able to use her being off balance to her advantage as when Morgana went at her Kathy fell backwards onto the ground. She the curled up like a ball and rolled back before pushing off he ground coming out of her ball throwing herself back towards the wall. She then jumped off the wall and swung her blade as she went right at Morgana.
Morgana barely was able to dodge the attack, and once Kathy hit the ground she turned and jumped bring up her wooden blade high. She swung down hard and fast as she came down on Morgana who didn't have enough time to block the attack.
Morgana was knocked back and on one knee, but was grinning "Okay I think that's enough practicing." Morgana said.
=UNIVERSE=
Morgana wipes a wet towel across her head to cool herself down then glanced to Kathy who was doing the same "You know. I'm starting to see a bit of what Charles was talking to me about earlier." She said to Kathy.
"Huh?" Kathy asked confused.
Morgana laughs a bit "Charles might be a natural born fighter Kathy, but you just keep on getting better and evolving your battle skills." Morgana told him.
Kathy was a bit confused "Kathy you and Charles are both natural born fighters, but even Charles says at the rate your going you will eventually surpass him." Morgana said to her.
Kathy sighed "Everyone just keeps complimenting me it seems, but I just don't understand what I've done to deserve the praise. Sure I'm a natural fighter, and Ramiel says I have potential as a nurse...it honestly has me confused." Kathy said.
"About your future you mean?" Morgana asked, and Kathy nods.
"I wouldn't go thinking about that quite yet. Though there is something me, and the rest have noticed. Something I should probably ask you about." Morgana then said to her.
"Umm...noticed what?" Kathy asked.
Morgana grinned "You've noticed how Minerva has been acting around you right?" She asked Kathy who blushes a bit at the question.
"Maybe. Though it doesn't really matter." Kathy said with a sigh.
"Oh? Why would you say that Kathy?" Morgana asked her.
"I mean if she liked me then...why hasn't she well...talked to me? Asked me out? You know something like that." Kathy said to her sister.
Morgana sighed "You know maybe she's nervous about talking to you." Morgana said to her calmly.
"Why would she be nervous?" Kathy asked her sister.
Meanwhile Charles was having a similar conversation with his own sister "Okay yeah I'm nervous. I mean what if I mess it up? What if she doesn't see me that way? I mean this is Kathy we're talking about!" Minerva says pacing as Charles sighed.
"I don't think Kathy has a mean bone in her body Minerva. Just ask her." Charles said to her.
Minerva bit her lip "I know I just...what if she rejects me?" Minerva asked.
"Then that can mean a few things Minerva. In the end though you won't know until you try." Charles told her.
Minerva looked down "Honestly I'm just scared Charles. I really like Kathy. She actually sees me for me." Minerva said.
"She's also helped you adjust to Earth." Charles said to her.
Minerva nods and blushes thinking about how the slightly overexcited girl had shown her all about. The tour of the city was fun, and she got to learn a lot more about both Milky Way and Kathy herself. Kathy had helped make the adjustment to Earth go much smoother for her.
"Look I'll just say this one more time. Go. Talk. To. Her." Charles said flatly.
"Nope. It's stupid, and I'm scared." Minerva said as Charles groaned before sighing.
"Would it help if I came with you? For emotional support I mean." Charles said getting up and walks over to Minerva stopping her from pacing.
Minerva looked at her brother and gives a hug "Yes! I really could use it. Let's go talk to her." Minerva said.
It didn't take long for the two to find Kathy and Morgana who looked to have finished a conversation of their own.
With a little encouragement from both older siblings the younger one's approached one another.
"Umm...H-Hi Minerva. Nice to see you." Kathy says giving a nervous smile.
"Y-Yeah. Same to you Kathy." Minerva says rubbing the back of her head.
"Well. Here goes nothing." Both thought to themselves.
"So the umm...dance is coming up and well..." Minerva says to her.
"Yeah I umm...don't really have anyone to go with so..." Kathy said.
"Me either. So I umm...was wondering if perhaps..." Minerva started.
"Would you like to go to the dance with me?" Both girls asked, and were surprised they both wanted to ask the same thing.
"Huh?" Both were looking at each surprised then blushed looking away.
The older siblings grin as the new few minutes the younger ones talked to one another before finally deciding they'd go together. Give each other a chance, and see where it goes from there.
What neither younger sibling noticed was that the rest of those on the ship had seen what happened thanks to the camera's. The rooms were also soundproof so none heard the shout of 'FINALLY!' from everyone else there who watched from the main console on the bridge.
=UNIVERSE=
The following night the snow had let up, but was still snowing lightly as everyone arrived. Each of them changed getting into their outfits for the night.
Morgana was wearing a crimson colored dress that went to her knees with flecks of gold in it. Her hair was let out of it's normal ponytail, and she had it cut a bit while her red streak was pulled into a small braid on the side. She still wore the ring on her left hand while the leather bracelet was replaced with a gold bracelet, and gold hoop earrings replaced her regular ones. She also wore red high heeled shoes.
Drew was dressed up in a black formal top with white lines running down them, and over it was a deep forest green vest. He also wore green formal jeans and black dress shoes while his hair was combed back and he was wearing his glasses for this occasion.
It had taken a lot of convincing, but the rest of the girls had managed to convince Frankie to get in a dress as well as embrace herself. Her reddish brown hair was let down to her shoulders, and with her not wearing glasses people could see her beautiful blue green eyes. She had a developed figure to her body as well as a semi athletic build to her that could be seen now. She was wearing a backless royal purple dress that reached to just above her knees with silver specks along the bottom as well as purple high hell shoes.
Kathy was wearing a pale yellow sundress with short white gloves on her arms small yellow carnations woven into the bottom of the gloves. Her brown hair was in curled ringlets and pulled off to the side into a low hanging ponytail. She wore knee high socks, and white high heeled shoes which she learned to walk in thanks to Morgana.
Cody was wearing a tan formal top while over it was a much fancier short sleeved white vest having silver and bronze accents to it. He also wore tan dress pants, and black dress shoes while his short shaggy black hair was was tamed while he wore a black tie.
Charles had opted to wear a long sleeved black dress top with a dark red tie, and over it was a short sleeved gray vest. He also wore dark gray dress pants and shoes while his raven black hair was out of it's usual style.
Finally there was Minerva who was wearing a pure black dress with small purple accents along the bottom. Her long black hair was let out of it's twin tails letting it go past her shoulders, and she wore black high heeled shoes. She wore a thick silver bracelet on one arm, and a silver necklace around her neck.
Epona had even come to the dance at the persistence of Drew. She wore what looked like red and yellow dress designed to mimic a traditional kimono. It went to far below her knee's, but was just above her ankles so it wasn't touching the floor. She wore no socks, and sandals on her feet while her hair was done up in a bun. The designs on her dress were elegant and simple woven to look like rays of sunlight. She also had a yellow gold sash tied around her waist.
As everyone arrived Morgana's phone went off and she sighed "Sorry everyone. It looks like my date can't make it...busy with something important." She said with a sigh and puts the phone away. The rest nodded in understanding.
Kathy took Minerva's hand "So you ready to go?" Kathy asked her, and Minerva nods the two started to walk in.
Cody himself was ready "Well I guess I better go find Athena." He said, and walks into the gym where the dance was being held.
Charles glanced to Epona and grinned "So you still want to reject me now?" He said.
Epona shot a glare "Charles. I may not be in heels like the other girls here, but rest assured if you try to hit on me you will feel an intense pain where the sun doesn't shine." She says and walks in leaving Charles behind as he hanged his head low.
Frankie pats his shoulder "Hey you'll have better luck with someone else." She says, and then walks in going to find Shawn as well as have a little 'talk' with Athena.
Drew glanced to Charles "Guess us single guys have to just survive the night." He says and the two of them walked in.
=UNIVERSE=
After about a half hour of dancing and a few drinks Frankie had finally spotted Athena who was alone as Cody had gone off with Charles and Drew to do a small dance off with another group of guys.
Athena's dirty blond hair was done up in long ponytail bangs pulled back revealing her green eyes. She had a natural light tan to her body, and a petite build yet had a matured figure. She was wearing a white-pink dress with silver embroidery reaching to just above her ankles, and wore pale pink high heeled shoes.
Seeing Frankie, Athena froze on the spot as the girl approached her "F-Francesca. Funny running into you here." She says.
Frankie frowned "I could say the same to you as your suppose to be in juvie with the rest of your group, and doing community service. Your lucky that's all you get for being involved with what happened." She said angry.
Athena looked down "I do feel bad about what we did. Trust me we all do." Athena said.
"Right...though I think you know why I'm here. I want to make sure you won't hurt Cody." Frankie says to her.
"Why would you think I would do something like that!" Athena says to her.
Frankie's eyes narrow "Because if you treat a possible boyfriend the way you treated a certain old friend..." She started as Athena looked down.
"You mean Judith don't you?" she asked interrupting Frankie who nods.
"I...I had my reason's back then. If you'd let me explain." She told her.
Frankie huffed "Fine. I'll give you a chance. Can't wait to hear what lame story you cook up." She says muttering the last part to herself.
Athena sighed "As you and everyone knows me and the rest of the Four Angel girls are from wealthy families. We could have gone to any school we wanted, but all four of us decided to come here to Sol Academy." Athena started.
"Though all four of you along with a number of us attended Milky Way Elementary. You weren't so mean back then, and actually lived up to your names. What changed?" Frankie asked having her lie detector ready.
Athena sighed "We decided to attend Sol Academy that's what. People picked on us because of our wealth, and for a while Judith helped us." She said.
"To which you payed her back with a stab to the back." Frankie said.
Athena bit her lip in anger "None of us thought that. Not even me thought that at the time." She replied bitterly.
Frankie was a bit confused by this "Huh? You make it sound like Judith was the one to betray you first." She replied.
Athena sighed, and out of her purse she was wearing she brought out her phone and played a recording that was a couple years old.
"Athena? Yeah she's not much, and she doesn't even know it. I mean I protect her simply because she needs it. I mean she pays for a lot for me." The recorded Judith then laughed.
"She's so easy to play that I don't even need to be there at times to trick her." The recorded Jutith says before the recording then ends.
Frankie was taken by surprise "J-Judith would never say anything like that!" She says, but at the same time it sounded so convincing.
"Yeah. Took me until a while ago to realize I had been tried by an ex that didn't like my friendship with Judith. He had a friend that mimicked her voice so perfectly." Athena then tells her.
Frankie looked down at her mini lie detector which was still a bright green "You...you bullied her because you honestly thought Judith was using you?" She asked.
Athena sighed "I feel terrible about it now that I know." She said.
Frankie crossed her arms "How exactly did you find out then?" She said with a raised eyebrow.
"My ex was joking about it with a few friends. One of the girls heard them and told me." She said the light remaining green.
Frankie saw this and sighed "Look I may not like you, but...I'll give you a chance with Cody. Though you hurt him, and I won't be the one you'll be dealing with." She warned.
Athena nods "Y-Yeah. I noticed. Morgana would be the one after me." She says.
Athena then bit her lip "Umm...Frankie?" She started.
"Yeah?" She replied.
"Could you perhaps umm...maybe help me...apologize to Judith? She is...was my best friend. I-I don't think I can face her alone without support." Athena told her.
Frankie cracks a smile before nodding "Sure. She's here tonight. Though maybe tonight isn't the best idea. Though I'll be there when you need me for support." She tells Athena as the girl smiles.
Athena then recalled something "Hey umm...during my volunteer work there was someone I met." She says as Frankie looked to her.
Athena giggles "You have an adorable little brother Frankie." She then added on as Frankie smiles a bit bigger.
Frankie walks away as Cody returns to enjoy the rest of the dance/date with Athena.
The rest of the night went well, but Morgana was missing her date, and wondering about how they had been acting ever since Kathy had returned to them.
That's the end of Episode 43, and after so long we finally have a few couples the first of which is by no surprise Kathy and Minerva. The second which took me some time to think about I decided to pair together Cody with one of Sol Academy's Four Angels namely Athena. We also got offical confirmation on Frankie and Shawn dating after so long. I hope you enjoyed this filler episode as what will happen next well...you'll have to wait and see. I have also started Power Rangers Xross Force so if you have the time check it out as well as leave a review, fav, or follow. Well then I think I have gone on long enough so until next time this has been your friendly fanfiction writer decode9!
