Chapter 32 Nothing But Fun

February 14, 2004

It was Valentines Day. Four figures were walking into Hayley's Cyber Café. It wasn't too cool or too warm. The two youngest members in the group looked around when they entered.

"What is this place," Kira asked.

Conner glanced over at Kira, then back to the new surrounding.

"Yeah, do we really have to be here," he asked.

"Calm down you two," Kim said.

Kira and Conner looked at each other and sighed. Neither of them knew what they were doing at this place.

"Our friend owns this place," Tommy told them.

The redhead behind the counter walked over to them with a big smile on her face.

"Hey you two," Hayley said.

"Hey, Hayely," Tommy and Kim smiled.

After Hayley broke her hug with Kim, she looked over at Kira and Conner.

"This must be Conner and Kira," she said.

"How does she… I thought no one's supposed to know that…" Kira began.

She couldn't seem to get the words out. How could this person she had never met before know about her being a Power Ranger?

"She's going to be helping from time to time when Billy can't," Tommy said, noticing the zoned out Kira.

"Where is Ethan by the way," Conner asked.

"Over there on the computer. He's here all the time now that he knows anything and everything about computers," Hayley laughed.

Kim leaned in closer to Tommy.

"I guess being around Billy will do that to you," she whispered.

Kim, Tommy, and Tanya were sitting at a table at the watching Emily and James play while Conner, Kira, and Ethan were playing pick up soccer.

"So you ready to have this baby," Tanya asked.

"I'm four months along now… I better be," Kim laughed.

"Do you know the sex yet," Tanya asked.

"No, but I think it's a boy," Kim said.

Tanya turned from eyeing the pair of four year olds.

"How do you guess," she asked.

"My stomach's higher up than it was with Emily," Kim said.

They turned towards the three teens as they heard Kira scream.

"Conner, you cheater," Kira yelled.

"Cheating? How do you know," Conner asked.

"I've watched you enough times to know," Kira snapped.

Ethan ran to them and separated the pair.

"Hey you two… I'd shut up before Mr. Oliver makes us start training again," he said.

They looked over at the three adults looking their way.

"Fine," Conner spat.

"Thank you," Ethan sighed.

Tanya shook her head as she turned to Kim.

"Do you think those two have a thing for each other," she asked.

"It might look like it, but they have too much history," Kim said.

Tommy got up and walked over to Conner, Ethan, and Kira.

"You three ready," he asked.

"Come on Mr. Oliver," the three moaned.

"Don't worry, it won't be long today. Kim has an appointment," Tommy laughed.

They took a deep breath.

Chapter 33 Kira's Doubt

April 29, 2004

Conner, Kira, and Ethan were walking down the halls of Reefside High before class.

"I'm not looking forward to our first fight," Conner sighed.

"Who is," Kira asked.

Ethan then put one hand in the air.

"Hey, Mr. Oliver," he called.

"Hey you three. Listen, make sure you register for my class," Tommy said.

"Believe me, we will," Conner said.

Kira had Ethan had begun walking forward, but Conner was still turned the other direction. He soon found himself on the ground with another boy. Ethan and Kira made their way to them.

"Sorry about that," a familiar voice apologized.

"No problem," Conner said.

The two got up and walked their separate ways. Kira couldn't help but look back.

"Who's that," she asked.

"Trent," Conner said without even bothering to look her way.

"As in Trent Fernandez," Kira asked, making Conner look at her now.

"Yeah," Conner said.

Kira took another look behind her.

"Man, he's changed," she said.

"Hormones getting the best of you," Ethan laughed.

"Shut up," Kira snapped.

"Anyway, I got science to get to. What about you two," Conner asked.

He had never seemed to remember their classes.

"English," Kira said.

"History," Ethan replied.

Cassidy Cornell, a blonde headed girl who was wearing a pink shirt and pair of faded jeans came walking up to Kira as she said goodbye to Conner and Ethan.

"Since when have you, Conner, and Ethan been friends again," she asked.

"Cassidy, get over it. We grew up and decided to put the past behind us," Kira said.

Kira began to turn around to take her seat.

"It won't last you know," Cassidy spoke up.

With an angry face, Kira turned back to her.

"And why's that? No, what's it to you," Kira asked.

"You three are too different," Cassidy said.

"Maybe, but we've known each other long enough to understand that," Kira spat.

Without saying another word, Kira took her seat.

After school, Ethan and Conner noticed Kira's avoidance towards them.

"Hey, Kira, you alright," Ethan asked.

She looked up at him and sighed.

"Can we seriously get through this, or are we too different now," Kira asked.

"Kira, our differences are what's going to help us defeat Mesogog," Ethan told her, throwing an arm around her.

She let a small smile show.

"Besides, we're older now. We can't expect ourselves to be in the same activities together," Conner said.

"I hate her, I hate her, I hate her," Kira suddenly yelled.

With shocked looks on their faces, Conner and Ethan glanced at each other.

"Who," Conner asked.

"Cassidy," Kira sighed.

"Don't tell me she's the one putting this shit in your head," Ethan laughed.

He quickly looked away, avoiding the look Kira was now giving him.

"Well… yeah," Kira said.

"Kira, you can't believe a word out of her mouth," Conner replied.

"She's just jealous you're friends with the soccer star," Ethan joked.

Conner's eyebrows lowered some.

"What do you mean by that," he asked.

"Dude, it never crossed your mind that Cassidy might like you," Ethan wondered.

"Really…" Conner began.

"Conner," Kira and Ethan yelled and laughed at the same time.

Conner had never gotten that it was a joke.

"What? Believe me… I've never noticed her in that way," he said.

Kira looked over at Conner and shook her head. Conner's stupidity had seemed to make Kira forget she was even mad.
