~ I know it's been about two months, but I was distracted by my new game systems and Netflix (:
~ I tried to use the ideas from the reviews to work them into this chapter.
~ I'm hoping there will be some helpful reviews on this chapter because it will help with the next one.
ENJOY!
-2 days later-
Most of the rangers were in the base, doing their normal things. Chase was the last one to enter, carrying a skateboard. It was the one Hydie left behind when Singe attacked. Chase has been taking care of it, making sure it would give a smooth ride.
"Has anyone heard from Hydie?" Chase asked. Everyone shook their heads. Chase was the only one who had her phone number.
"Don't worry, she's probably okay." Shelby said to Chase. They haven't heard from her or seen her since then. Chase gave a small nod before setting Hydie's skateboard on a table. He sat down, put his headphones on and started to work on it.
On the ship, Hydie sat in the chair with her legs over the arm. She had a cup of something she found on the ship. Hydie watched the Vivix and Wrench do random things in the room. She drank the cup and held it out.
"I need a refill." She said, waiting for one of the Vivi to grab her cup. She moved it back and forth until it was grabbed. "Make sure it's something good this time." Hydie added before waving her hand, dismissing the Vivix.
Heckyl walked in and saw his sister boss the Vivix around.
"I'm surprised you're not with your new boyfriend." Heckyl said to his sister as he leaned against the chair.
"Oh please..." Hydie shook her head "...you know the black ranger is just a pawn in my plan." She said.
"Finally taking advice from your brother?" Heckyl asked. Hydie glared at her brother just as Singe walked in. Heckyl took notice. "What's your story?" He asked Singe to get off the topic. Singe opened his mouth, but Hydie spoke.
"He was together with Scorn." She said. "Where is that Vivix with my drink?" She muttered to herself.
"If you need a drink..." Singe started to say.
"Not from you." Hydie looked at Singe.
"Do you think I would poison you?" Singe asked as Heckyl stood and watched the two.
"Uh...yeah." Hydie looked at Singe with a straight face. Singe scoffed and looked towards Heckyl.
"She's just as cold as you."
"Why thank you." Hydie does a fake bow from the chair. Heckyl smirked before pushing his sister off the chair. "Hey!" She patted down her clothes to get dirt off. Hydie watched with annoyance as her brother took her spot. "I think I'll leave you two alone..." Hydie started to walk out before seeing a Vivix. "Finally." She took the drink and gulped it down. "Next time, be quicker." Hydie walked away.
Singe had watched her walk away before realizing Heckyl was watching him.
"You and her...not going to happen." Heckyl advised before looking out at Earth. 'We will see' Singe thought to himself.
After a while, the rangers started their work shifts. Chase was once again cooking while the others did things to keep them busy. Hydie walked in and saw Chase. She sat at the counter and looked at the menu.
"Hey beautiful." She heard Chase's voice. Hydie smiled a bit.
"Do you ever work?" Hydie said as she lowered the menu. Chase smiled.
"They don't mind." Chase sat next to Hydie. He looked at her for a moment. "About the other day..."
"Oh..." Hydie said, knowing Chase was referring to when Singe attacked "..it's Amber Beach. I thought it would be about time before running into whatever they are." Hydie chuckled, trying to bring some humor into the conversation.
"Chase!" Tyler yelled from the kitchen. Chase looked at Tyler before back at Hydie.
"If you can wait until after my shift, I have something for you." Hydie gave a nod. Chase smiled before he got up and re-joined Tyler in the kitchen.
Hydie had eaten a big double cheeseburger with bacon on it. Chase had put extra cheese on it just for her.
Hydie sat on a bench outside, watching some children play at a park. A part of her looked with interest, but another part with disgust. She never liked children but at the same time thought they held potential.
"Hey..." Hydie almost jumped before seeing Chase. She stood up and was enveloped in a one armed hug.
"...Hey..." She said as she hugged back, trying not to be awkward. "You said you had..." Chase held the skateboard she left behind the other day "...that's my skateboard..." Hydie looked at Chase with some surprise.
"I fixed the wheels so they don't wobble. I also touched up the paint job on the bottom..." Chase looked up from the skateboard to Hydie.
"You didn't have to..." She said before he had a chance to say anything.
"I couldn't have my girl ride on a bad board." Hydie smiled a little. 'The plan is progressing nicely' She thought to herself.
"So, I'm your girl?" Hydie asked even though they haven't had their first date yet. Chase blushed but tried to pretend he didn't. Hydie looked like she was thinking. She opened her mouth to say something as Chase held her hand. "Chase..." She started to say before he took her by surprise. Chase leaned in and kissed her. Hydie kissed back and looked at Chase. Chase had the biggest smile on his face. A part of Hydie wanted to use the chance to knock Chase out, but also knew it would ruin everything.
"Was...that okay?"
"Yeah..." Hydie said after a few minutes as she got over the surprise. Chase continued to hold her hand. "I know we haven't had our first date yet, but I couldn't wait." Hydie tried to blush.
"Why don't we see if you're good at fixing skateboards." She suggested. Chase nodded before they walked together to the nearest skatepark.
When they got to the skatepark, they noticed that there was hardly anyone. Hydie set the board on the ground before she looked at Chase.
"Let's see if you're as good as you think." Hydie said before she tried the skateboard. Chase watched her as she did flips, spins and other tricks. It wasn't the first time he watched her on a skateboard. He still watched with amazement. Hydie seemed to have the same skill has Chase, if not more.
After close to a hour, Hydie rolled up next to Chase.
"You must have done a good job..." Hydie starts to tease "...I didn't fall over." Chase smiled. There was a beeping noise and Hydie knew it came from her compact. "I'll see you Saturday."
"I'll meet you here." Chase said and Hydie nodded. She rode away on the skateboard.
Chase couldn't help but watch as she left. Hydie was the first girl he met that had a shared interest in skateboarding. 'She's beautiful' Chase thought to himself before he walked away.
Hydie got behind a wall and opened her compact.
"Why didn't you steal the emergem when you had a chance?" Scorn asked.
"Because then I can't get the others." Hydie said as she looked around, making sure they weren't being watched. Scorn groaned. "You never thought these things through. You get one, the other rangers will come after it." Hydie explained to Scorn. "You get all, no one can get them back."
"And then we give them all to Heckyl, great idea." Scorn said with sarcasm. Hydie sighed.
"Sometimes you are worse than Snide." Hydie complained before closing the compact, wanting to shut Scorn up.
Hydie sat there for a few moments before leaving on the skateboard.
It was later at night when Scorn was walking through the ship. She stopped and looked around the corner. Singe was doing something that had Scorn's attention.
"Up to no good again?" Scorn asked as she stepped around. Singe looked and chuckled.
"Always." He said and stepped closer to Scorn.
"What are you really doing here?" Scorn asked as she looked at him.
"Would you believe if I said to see you?" Scorn raised a brow at Singe's reply.
"I don't believe anything you say." Singe chuckled as he looked Scorn over.
"Smart girl." Singe observed as he took another step closer. Scorn looked up and noticed that their eyes met. Scorn was about to step away when Singe caught her. He pulled her close and kissed her.
~ i didn't plan the kisses that happened, but I felt like it should be in there.
~ The next chapter will be the big date between Chase and Hydie and I have some fun stuff planned for it (: If you want to see anything in it, don't be afraid to share (:
R&R 'till the next update
