So I had this whole chapter typed up and my laptop restarted causing me to lose it all. Grr...anyway I rewrote it again. Enjoy the Kira/Conner Goodness...


Kira's POV

Kim was up to something, I could feel it. Or maybe I was feeling the Morphin Grid healing me. Conner moved his shoulder slowly next to me and I caught myself watching him. He was good looking, he had muscles from his years of Soccer, and he was such a good guy once you got to know him.

"Hows the shoulder doing?" I must have startled him, he jumped slightly.

"Better, Kim's gel seems to have done it's job."

"It's from Aquitar, Billy brought it here. Just in case as he put it."

"Were you here for the visit? You seem to know alot about it." I smiled,

"Yeah, when he showed up, I was helping Kim and Dr. O go through those boxes of things from Ranger Days. He teleported in and Kim nearly tackled him. Dr. O said hi and pulled Kim off him, he said it was a special remedy."

"They are so lucky, Dr. O and Kim." I looked at him questioningly.

"Why?"

"They don't have to hide anything from eachother. We could never date a non-ranger, never sit down and talk about everything. They can talk about their day and the battles. Take Krista and I for example, she dumped me because she believed I was cheating on her." I felt the anger I often felt with thinking about Krista surface again. I touched his shoulder and felt the sparks when I made contact with his bare shoulder.

"If she doesn't trust you, it's her loss Conner. You are a good guy, any girl would be lucky to have you." He smiled at me and leaned forward, 'Oh god...he's going to kiss me...do I want him to?' I felt his hand come in contact with my ankle and he gently massaged the muscles. I relaxed and let him soothe my aching muscle.

"Hows the ankle feeling? How did that even happen?"

"Better, see. When the monster was turning to attack you when you were down, it just grazed the skin." I turned so he could see the healing cut, it looked weeks old instead of a few hours old. He looked at me oddly for a minute and kissed my forehead gently, I felt my heart race and I wanted him to kiss me. I felt his hand leave my ankle and felt an odd sense of missing his touch. He stood and held his hand out for me.

"I can get down on my own Conner." I teased, he laughed and smiled at me.

"I know, but I want to be there in case you fall." I felt my heart race at his words, I silently accepted his offer. The second my feet touched the ground, my ankle tightened. I leaned into him, his arm around my waist.

"I've got you Kira." He was smiling at me, I felt butterflies in my stomach. We slowly went upstairs to where Kim and Dr. O were eating...


Conner's POV

I felt things for Kira, that I never had before. She was leaning into me and I couldn't help wondering if she would if she wasn't hurt. Kim was watching us intently and I helped Kira into a chair next to her. She smiled gratefully up at me and I felt my body fill with pride. She had a blush spreading across her cheeks and she tucked a stray hair behind her ear.

"Where is Trent and Ethan?" I asked looking around for them,

"In the LIVINGROOM !" Ethan's voice carried in from the other room. I looked at Kim wide eyed.

"You let them eat in your livingroom?" I was in shock, she laughed.

"Yes, and whenever you two want you can go in there too." I watched Kira, seeing her looking anywhere but at me. Dr. O's voice cut off my question,

"How are you feeling? Both of you?" He asked worriedly,

"I'm feeling like I could fight another monster today." I joked, Kim's eyes fixed me with a glare. I flinched, for a sweet, former pink ranger, she was scary. Her smile said she knew exactly what I was thinking.

"Conner, bite your tongue. I would like the rest of my evening to be peaceful." I was thinking about Kira and I missed what was said next. The feeling of Kira's hand in mine, snapped me back to reality.

"Yes, Kira." I asked softly, looking at her.

"I asked if you wanted any pizza." She repeated and I nodded,

"Thank you, Kira." She moved to tuck her hair behind her ear and I beat her to it, I tucked it gently behind her ear, she shivered. I couldn't hear anything other then my breathing and hers, I forgot I was in my Mentors' kitchen. Dr. O's cough broke the moment and Kira's face was red. I turned and grabbed two smoothies from the fridge, a gatorade for me, and a root beer for Dr. O. I handed Kim and Dr. O their drinks. Kira set my plate next hers and and turned to look at me, I sat next to her and quickly stuffed my face with pizza.


Kim's POV

I was doing the happy dance inside, the moment I had just seen between them. Tommy was watching me, confusion and amusement written all over his face.

"I told you." I whispered nodding my head towards the teens. He just shook his head,

"I never should have doubted you for a second." I smiled and turned my attention back to the two teens,

"Kira, Hayley said she would be happy to let us sing a duet."

"Huh? Oh right the song. Sorry, I must be more tired then I thought."

"Conner, I called my contacts at the colleges here in the US and several are going to come watch you play." I laughed at his face, mouth full of pizza and a smile.

"Mthanks Kim." He choked out, Kira looked at him, rolling her eyes.

"No problem, Conner. I'm going to take Kira out to the porch, Tommy you and Conner clean up ok?" I stood and Conner helped Kira off the chair, their eyes locked again and and I had to hide my gleeful smile. Tommy shook his head at me,

"Conner, she meant we had to do it now." He teased, Conner and Kira both turned red. I walked with Kira out to the porch, as we sat on the porch swing, she looked like she had a question.

"Kim, how do you know when you like someone you haven't ever liked before?" She was nervous,

"Well, the first thing would be the sudden long moments staring into each others eyes."

"You saw that huh?"

"Yes, so I think Conner is feeling just as confused as you are. What do you want to do Kira? Do you think there might be a future for you with Conner?" I watched her face and saw the thoughts swirling.

"He's Conner, red ranger, jock, womanizer. Then, there is the side he only shows me. The guy who saved that little girl, who has doubts about his abilities, who tells me I'm cool just the way I am. He's not what he pretends to be, it's all a facade." Her voice was soft and she was talking about Conner in a way she never had before.

"When he was looking at you earlier what did you want to happen?" I prodded gently,

"I wanted him to kiss me. Oh god, Kim what am I going to do?" She leaned into me, confused and scared.

"We are going to get you both together and when he figures out what he wants, or rather who, you will be ready." I rubbed her shoulder and we talked about other things as the boys joined us outside. Conner watched her regularly, and she snuck glances at him. This wouldn't be nearly as hard as I thought.


A/N So Kim has a plan as always. Kira and Conner are falling but we all know it won't be that easy.
