Bay stepped into her house and found her mother sleeping on the couch. She sighed and pulled the blanket they kept on the back of the couch over her and went to her room.
She loved her mother and hated to see her as lonely as she had been since her step-father David left and divorced her. She had only known him since she was nine and she had been ten when they had gotten married and she liked him he was nice.
Bay got out of the shower and put on her normal bedtime attire of shorts and a tank top and laid down. It had been a long day and she just wanted to relax and sleep.
"Bay I think we should talk," Kimberly said the next morning. It was the weekend and they didn't have school.
"About what?" Bay looked up from her coffee mug.
"I know you had a hard time with the divorce and everything," Kim approached.
"David was a good stand in father but it wasn't that big of a loss," The girl shrugged.
"I know you loved him Bay," The small statured women grabbed her daughter's hand.
"I'm fine. And it's not like I don't get to hear from him," Bay said moving her hair to the left exposing the tattoo she had allowed her daughter to get on her shoulder blade.
They had shared the same tattoo. Except Kim's was on her rib cage and that had hurt a lot worse. 'May the power protect you' had meant so much to her in her youth. Bay loved it and decided that she wanted it as an empowerment statement.
"That's true," Kim sighed. David loved Bay like she was his own daughter and it meant a lot to her.
"Anyway I'm going to go out for bit before my date," Bay dumped mug in the sink and headed for her room.
"Be careful," Kim called after her daughter but knew it was useless.
Conner had a weird day not being himself. Well it was himself but it was his inner self. Anyway he was glad that he was back to himself. He walked up to the two story house and knocked on the door.
"You must be Bay's date," A women Conner assumed was her mother opened the door.
"I'm Conner," The blond boy smiled as he stepped inside.
"I'm Kim, Bay's mom," Kim smiled at the boy. Her daughter smiled. Her daughter had good taste, "Let me go get her."
"Thanks," Conner smiled as he looked around. He saw many pictures if Bay and her mother and a man that she assumed was her dad. One picture caught his eye immediately, it was a picture of Bay when she was younger and she was in a leotard on a beam with a big smile on her face.
"I've been doing gymnastics for years. My mom was a gymnast when she was my age," Bay said from the behind him.
"I didn't think you were the pink wearing type," Conner joked as he set the photo down.
"I was back then," Bay smiled looking at the photo, "I had just did my first routine on beam that day."
"We should go before we miss the movie," Conner suggested.
"Sure," The black haired girl grabbed her leather crop jacket, " Mom I'll be back later."
"Have fun don't forget your keys," Kim yelled down to her daughter.
"Kay," Bay grabbed Conner's hand and lead him out of the front door.
"Who's Mustang?" Conner asked as he lead them to his own car.
"Mine, it was a sweet sixteen gift from my mom and step-dad," Bay said as she waited for Conner to open the door.
"It's nice but mine's better," The ranger said opening her door.
"You wish," Bay smirked as she got into the car.
Bay had a good time. Better than she had expected to. The movie was an action movie far from the chick flick on the first date movie.
They had left the theater and had gotten some ice cream and they were now sitting on the hood of Conner's car discussing which super heroes would win in a fight if they were turned evil.
"Come on Batman has no real superpowers," Bay argued as she mixed her ice cream around.
"But he has weapons that are just as good as any power," Conner countered placing the spoon in his mouth.
"Keep thinking that," Bay said looking at her watch, "I think it's time to get you home."
"Get me home? You're the one I picked up," Conner questioned.
"But I don't have a curfew but you most likely do," Bay said pulling her jacket closer to her.
"Here," Conner shrugged off his jacket and put it on her shoulders.
"Thanks," Bay said quietly.
"But how do you swing not having a curfew?"
"My mom doesn't care as long as I keep my grades up," Bay shrugged.
"What about your step-dad?"
"Divorced my mom last year. But he didn't mind as long as I was home before midnight," Bay said getting off the car.
"And your actual dad?" The soccer star asked trying to get a deeper understanding of the girl.
"Don't know him, my mom was a teen mom and I never knew my father," Bay said with a hint of sadness.
"I'm sorry," the boy apologized.
"Doesn't matter, now take me home so I can gossip to my best friend," Bay joked.
"Really?"
"No. Who do you think I am?" Bay laughed as she got into the car.
"I had a nice time Connie," Bay smiled as the pair reached the front step.
"Connie?" Conner asked.
"I like it. It's like my own nickname for you," The girl smirked as she reached for the doorknob.
"So you wanna do this again sometime?" The soccer star asked.
"Maybe. I'll see on Monday," Bay reached up to kiss Conner, "Night Connie."
"Night Bay," Conner said as he headed down the steps to his car.
Best first date Conner had in a while. He could see himself having a relationship with Bay.
