Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose
Disclaimer: Rose has something she'd like to tell you.
Rose: Overdrive Red would never be able to come up with something like the Power Rangers. She wasn't even smart enough to change her name to Overdrive Pink, seeing as how she loves Mack and all.
Overdrive Red: Damn, she's right.
Challenge: Quest
Timeframe: Post Kick Into Overdrive
Summary: Mack has a quest of his own.
She found him in his hammock on the front lawn. He was looking at the horizon in awe, watching the sun set. Rose found a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Hey," she called softly, and he looked back at her with surprise on his face.
"Hi Rose. Care to join me?"
"I'd love to," she replied. Mack sat up, making a spot for her. The newly minted pink ranger seated himself next to Mack. He was still gazing at the sunset incredulously. "It's a very nice sunset," Rose offered as conversation.
"Yeah. But actually I was just thinking. Everything got turned upside down today and I kinda like the surprises it brought."
"Some quest we have, isn't it?" Rose agreed. "I always thought the Corona Aurora was just a myth, and now we're searching for the jewels. It's amazing."
"You sounded so smart explaining the myth," he told her quietly. "And you sounded like you were really getting into it."
"Thank you," she replied. "I wasn't so sure that was endearing to any of the others, though. They all looked at me like I'd grown another head or something." Rose looked kind of sad, Mack thought as he studied her face.
"You were really great fighting the lava lizards," Mack said in hopes that this would cheer her up some.
"And you saved everyone," Rose responded. She got up. "I'll see you later Mack." Se thought for a moment. "Thanks again."
Mack couldn't explain it, but he felt drawn to Rose, and as he rearranged himself to look out at the sunset again, his mind wasn't on the dangerous quest he and the others were about to embark on, but the pink ranger.
