Phony Bologna 5
Emily loved seeing her big brother so happy with Kylie. Sure, it was a little weird how quick he bonded with the girl. But hey. He was like Kevin when it came to accepting new members. But unlike Kevin with Antonio, (thankfully,) Wesley had fallen in love with their newest member. They were hanging out all the time, training and laughing with each other constently. It was like they just worked.
"You seem in a good mood," she commented as Wesley cleaned up everybody's breakfast and helped them suit up to train.
"Kylie and I are going to see Passion with Her tonight," he declared happily, "the hottest make-out movie of the summer."
"Whoa," she grinned, "that's great."
Turns out, Kevin, Mia, Lily and Mike were going as well, along with Antonio and Serena. Emily was beginning to feel left out, since Jayden hadn't asked her. But she discovered soon that Jayden had made plans for them to go to the carnival together, just the two of them.
When everybody came home, their eyes were all full of love. Kevin, Antonio, and Mike both had lipstick all over their faces, and Wesley was leaning against Antonio for support.
"I.." the Green Ranger breathed, "need to get that on DVD."
"Yeah," Kevin smiled at Mia, who was giggling like mad.
"So many kisses," Antonio looked dreamy, "so little time."
"You know," Kylie smiled at Wesley, who looked ready to pass out, "I feel the same for you." That's when the Silver Ranger collapsed.
Emily and Jayden walked in at that moment, laughing with face paint all over their faces, carnival prizes, grins on their faces, and cotton candy. When she noticed Wesley on the ground, she set down her stuff and knelt to his side.
"Are you okay?" she asked him worriedly.
Sitting up dreamily, he breathed, "I'm better. I'm in love!"
"I knew it!" Jayden yelled, and his girlfriend threw a little rubber ball from her pile at him.
"I'm so happy for you two," she helped him up, grinning with him.
She helped him to bed with Kylie on his other side, supporting his weight. When the two girls exited, Jayden kissed Emily goodnight and went to bed. Mike and Kevin soon crashed, so Antonio and Mia decided to do the same. Soon it was just Kylie and Emily still awake.
"Hey, Em?" the Black Ranger looked at her blonde friend, "can you come to my room for a sec?"
XXXXXXXXXX
"Anybody seen Em today?" Mike asked as they all ate breakfast.
"She was still asleep when I got up," Mia replied.
"I'm going to go get that lazy girl up," Jayden smiled, leaving the room, sliding his breakfast bowl into the sink.
"How'd you sleep last night?" Wesley asked his girlfriend.
"Like a baby," Kylie replied, smiling widely, "it was so peaceful and serene knowing the issue is gone."
"Issue?"
Blinking, she replied, "I mean…me not knowing if you like me!" Nodding, the Silver Ranger kissed her.
Suddenly, the Red Ranger ran in. He was clutching his heart and shaking with emotion.
"Guys," he looked like he was trying not to cry, "Emily's gone!"
"What?" the others jumped to their feet.
"And.." he choked, "I found this in her bed!"
The boy held up baseball bat with a blonde strand of hair on it with a little blood on the tip.
