A/N: This was a concept draft for The Brown Energem that I wrote up around last month but never got around to posting it due to writer's block kicking my ass once again. I'll try to update that fic when I manage to get both dvd sets and rewatch the series again.
"Hey, have you guys seen Tyler?" Riley asked as he went around the Ranger base trying to find Tyler but couldn't find him unfortunately. "I haven't seen him in a few hours."
"Sorry, mate," Chase replied as Shelby grabbed both his and Ivan's hands then pulled them away. "We haven't seen him, Koda, or the others lately. Hey! Wait a minute, Shelby!"
"Try to keep up, you guys! There's something I need to show you guys!"
Riley was somewhat curious about what was going on then followed his friends towards Koda's cave which he didn't check earlier. He took quick steps around the corner intending to bust into the cave when he approached it. But that wasn't the case as the others were busy peeking through the mouth of the cave.
"What's going on?"
Shelby turned and put her finger to her lips to shush them, "Shh!"
Although he wanted to ask what was going on, Ivan and Keeper pointed in the cave just enough for Riley to look for himself. The reason why they were being quiet was because Tyler was sleeping on the cot, tuckered out from the day's activities. But that wasn't what made the Pink Ranger so excited. He wasn't the only one on the cot however, as a young woman with medium length black hair laid nearly on top of him also asleep from the day's activities along with their three Ranger friends.
The Pink Ranger gushed at the sleeping group, "Awww, that's so cute."
"I was wondering if they were a thing or not, looks like it," Chase remarked, not really caring about what he was seeing. Still if Tyler was so tuckered out he'd let him sleep for now. "I'm gonna go take a nap too."
The others thought that was a good idea and decided to leave them alone for now as they all could use the rest themselves. As Tyler opened his brown eyes, he felt revitalized from taking a long nap. He tried to shift his body but found it difficult due to the small amount of space on the bed but he managed to keep Alix from falling off. That was what he was afraid of doing and didn't want to prematurely wake her or their other bunkmates up. However he also found her hugging him to be quite comfortable in and of itself.
Alix laid on his arm but he didn't mind and held her close to himself. She groaned then stirred but didn't wake up, instead she just moved herself to get comfortable again, being extra careful not to disturb either Koda, Kendall or Phillip while they slept soundly. The Red Ranger glanced down at Alix's lovely face as she was lost in the realm of dreams, making him hate the idea of disturbing such a scene. He'd let her sleep next to him for as long as she needed, then rejoined her in sleep's embrace while holding her once more.
