It had been about a week since the Salt Lake show. The bus was left back at the amphitheater in Austin where Tanya was performing later that night. But currently Tanya, Kim, Adam, Kira, and Nathan were at a local park for a fun day outdoors. They had even met up with Jason and Trini at the park. They had been in town for a martial arts tournament Jason was competing in. They had left there 5 year old daughter with Jason's parents for the weekend. The group were sitting in a picnic area enjoying a barbecue picnic day.
Nathan had gotten up and excused himself from the group said he wanted to go for a run. Kim looked at her son with a knowing look which she caught on Jason as well. They both knew that if he was going for a run it meant the boy had thoughts to work out in his head.
"Hey Nathan wait up I will go with you." Jason said getting up and following after his god son/nephew.
Kira watched as Nathan left with his uncle. She had feelings for the boy everyone saw it and even told her they noticed. But why can't he see it? Why did he have to keep her at arms length?
"Hey Kira come with me. I need some help getting some of the extra drinks from the car." Kim said after noting the disappointed look on the girls face.
"Sure thing Kim." Kira said following her.
When the two of them got to the car Kim turned to Kira. "What's up with the sad look?"
Kira looked at Kim confused. "What do you mean?"
"Look I saw the look on your face when Nathan left with Jason. So what has he done to upset you?" Kim asked worried for the young girl.
"I just don't get him. One minute we will be getting along great laughing and having fun. And then the next thing he is acting like I carry the plague." Kira said honestly. "I thought for a second that he actually had feelings for me as I do him."
Kim frowned and figured it was time to tell Kira more about Nathan. While it isn't a horrible secret or anything it is just some information that might clear things up for her. "Kira Nathan hasn't had a normal childhood. He has been forced to grow up faster than any kid should have to. And I blame myself for that but I did all I could with him. You see I had Nathan back when I was 15. Thanks to the help of friends and my former teammates at the Olympics I was able to bring Nathan with to competitions. We lived a life on the road for nine years, I was so thankful that my friends Billy and Trini were willing to come along and home school him so to speak. I always knew he was smarter then most kids I just didn't know how much. You see shortly after Nathan turned 9 Billy came to me to say Nathan was prepared to enter high school and that for his education to hold merit he had to go to a real school. So while you see Nathan as a 14 year old is true he is a 14 year old that has also already completed his freshmen year of college. And in doing all this I robbed Nathan of something all children should have and that is friends. He never got to interact with many kids his age and high school was not a fun time for him. He was constantly teased by the others in his grade. There was only a few people that even gave him the time of day there. So he really doesn't know how to act around you. He fears that if he opens up to you. You would hurt him just like others had pretending to like him only to get things they wanted."
Kira listened to Kim's story and felt she was finally understanding now. "Wow well that does make more sense now." Kira then had a smile on her face. "I think I am going to have to show him my feelings are real." She then hugged Kim. "Thanks Kim." She said before running off to go find Nathan.
Kim walked back to the others with some more drinks to put in the cooler.
"Kim you were gone much longer then it took to get drinks." Tanya said looking at her friend.
"Well a girl needed a pep talk to cheer her up." Kim said.
"So I guess my instincts are still as sharp as ever. Kira does have feelings for my god son." Trini said as she had a smile on her face.
"You got that right." Kim said smiling as well. "And I know Nathan likes her as well."

Nathan was sitting on a bench with his Uncle Jason.
"So Nathan what's bothering you?" Jason said looking at his nephew.
"I don't know uncle Jase. I like Kira. And I can tell she likes me too. Just I don't know what to do." Nathan said looking at his uncle hoping he would.
"Well I know you are hesitant. While I understand why, I have a feeling with this girl Kira you don't have to worry." Jason said and Nathan looked at his uncle confused.
"How can you be so sure of that?" He asked curious.
"Well for one I see the same look in her eyes when she looks at you that your mother had when looking at your father. That is how I know you don't have to worry about her using you. It is a look that is impossible to fake I promise you that." Jason said and turned his head when he heard someone walking up. "Looks like someone is here to talk to you. So I am going to go back and see how the others are getting on." Jason said getting up and walking away from Nathan and Kira. He smiled at Kira as he passed her.
"Is is okay if I sit?" Kira asked as she stood in front of the bench.
He simply motioned for her that it was alright. He turned to look at her after she sat on the bench. Oh how he hoped his uncle's words were right. But given that his parents weren't together he hoped what she felt for him was stronger then that of his parents.
Kira was going to tell him that he had nothing to fear from her hurting him like the others. So instead she decided to simply show him and quickly kissed him on the lips.
Nathan's eyes widened in surprise at Kira's actions and quickly returned her kiss. It was an interesting moment for the two. They felt the proverbial spark talked about in movies and books saying they had a connection. When they separated Nathan looked into Kira's eyes and sure enough there it was that look of love that Jason was talking about. Kira looked in Nathan's eyes and she could see that she had gotten though to him.
"Um wow." They both said in unison.
"I have wanted to do that for a while now." Kira said with a smile.
"You have no idea." Nathan said in truth.
Off behind them Jason couldn't help it but stay and watch. His years with Kim and Trini had ingrained a slight spying habit in him. So he simply smiled and walked back to the others. He knew now those two would be just fine.
When he returned back to the others they looked up at him with questioning eyes. But considering his smirk Kim picked up on the answer she wanted with out asking.
"I see we have a new couple on our hands." Kim said with a smile.
"Kimmy you better watch them. The look in her eyes is just like the one you carried for a certain multi colored man." Jason said remembering how Kim and Tommy were after they finally got together.
Trini smiled at that and turned to Kim. "Just don't be all hypocritical with him over things to much."
"Hey what is that supposed to mean you two?" Kim asked glaring at her friends.
"Kim I may of not been there in the beginning of that relationship. But you two were rarely not in physical contact if you could help it. Be it making out in the park, walking hand in hand, Laying in a hammock." Adam said to her seriously.
"We were not that bad guys." Kim said to defend herself. "Seriously guys and I know better. Making out is fine. And I doubt either is even contemplating sex just yet."
"Well it is a good thing Nathan got the sex talk a while ago just encase. And he still has around a year to go." Jason said jokingly but the glare he got from the three women made him cringe. "Okay poor choice of a joke."
"Yeah just a bit." Kim said looking at Jason. Sure she never regretted for a second on her decision to keep Nathan. Even during her days competing Nathan was her world there was nothing she wouldn't do for the boy. And she wouldn't trade the time she has had with her son for anything. Though she did wish she could of gotten his father in his life. Neither of them knew of the other. It would of happened by now if it wasn't for the incident when the ranger gained the turbo powers. Then there was the fact that Tommy just didn't want to have anything to do with her.
"I am sorry sis. But I think seriously Nathan understands more about the consequences that can come with sex at a young age then others his age." Jason said siting down next to Trini.
"Yeah yeah. Doesn't mean I still won't set some ground rules to make sure." She said
