Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose
Disclaimer: No. For the last time, no.
Challenge: Routine
Timeframe: Somewhere after Kick Into Overdrive
Summary: It meant the world was still safe.
He was perfectly content with the pattern his life had fallen into. This surprised him quite a bit, as before he'd become a ranger all he had ever wanted was to have a huge adventure. Being a ranger offered plenty of that, he supposed, but at the same time it was just nice to spend a quiet afternoon at home with a graphic novel or adventure tale, especially with a certain pink ranger curled up next to him.
His dad was very strict about routine training: up at dawn, breakfast, physical training, then zord maneuver drills, more physical training. Mack knew the elder Hartford just wanted to make sure the young team was ready for the upcoming fights with Flurious, Moltor, and Miratrix, not to mention any other villain who might have been seeking the crown. And they were ready. The Overdrive rangers were on top of their game.
And if a call hadn't come for them to go and save the world again, then he and Rose stuck to their own routine of collapsing onto a couch in the lounge, each with a book in their hands.
It was just nice, to relax with a book and a pretty girl at his side. It meant the world was still safe, at least for one more day.
