Friends

(Hayley POV)

We were best friends during college? Do you remember those times? Sometimes, I almost thing you've forgotten all about it, and now, I'm just gadget girl. That's all. I build stuff and I make sure that all the rangers have their weapons.

Do you know that I had a crush on you? I'm past attracted. Now it's like or maybe... just possibly, love. Once we went out for coffee to talk about building the morphers. I had admired a young couple that looked to be inseparable. Did you know I was wishing it was the two of us?

Soon, we were onto the subject of our love lives. You told me about this girl. As you described her, you stared at absolutely nothing with a look of pure adoration on your face. She was a gymnast. She was the original pink ranger. She was your first "true" love. She dumped you on your face through a letter. You said that when you were together, you had a love like no other. Key word Tommy, had. She moved to Florida, love huh? You said that Kimberly would always have a special place in your heart.

Did you know that comment left me sleepless for days? You also said you could never love another woman that way again. What about me, Tommy? I've been here, right in front of your face for a really long time. I would never dump you. I know about your history as a ranger. I'm here for you. Even if you'll never see that.

You keep her picture with you. You also think about her constantly, whenever you allow your mind to wander some. I've seen the picture. Then again, with a pretty face like her's, what guy could ever let go?

So, as long as she's on your mind, as long as she is the object of all your romantic affections, I'm the gadget girl and the best friend.
