Cherry was in awe as Andrew told them about how he came across the blue Shark crystal, and fought his way to Corinth to join the team,
Gavin was steaming silently in a corner as he saw Cherry making calf-eyes at Andrew, the living embodiment of his own ancestor Merrick Baliton, right down to the hair.
"You like her," Eve teases, as she came up behind Gavin,
"No, she's our leader. I just feel protective of her," Gavin disagrees
"Keep telling yourself that," Eve states,
"What's strange, I kept on running into another Ranger out there, she's fighting on the outside to keep the refugees safe from Venjix," Andrew informs,
Cherry gasped, "What was this Ranger's power animal?"
"The Peacock," Andrew answers
Cherry stood up and left the plateau, she went to the river where Red Lion likes to rest,
"Red Lion!" Cherry exclaims as she hopped over the rocks,
Red Lion sat up and shook out his mane, then rumbled in his chest a greeting,
"I know where the Peacock zord is!" Cherry exclaims
Red Lion looked at his Guardian, and telepathically asked a question, :Where?:
"Out in the Wastelands, She's chosen a Guardian of her own. And that new guardian is a Ranger." Cherry answers.
Red Lion's eyes widen, :Now that is something to think on,:
"I agree, I just wonder just who this Ranger could be." Cherry replies,
While Cherry and Red Lion was having a heart-to-heart, the others sat at the table
Andrew looked confused, "Was it something I said?"
"The Peacock zord has been missing for a few days, we didn't know why, Red Lion was worried so Cherry went to tell him about what you just informed us about," Crystal answers, "Red Lion and Cherry are very close, she has the gift of animal speech, she can understand what they are thinking,"
"I don't mean to pry but what do you know about Cherry?" Andrew asks, "Is she seeing someone in Corinth or one of you guys?"
"No, she's not seeing anyone and don't even think about it." Gavin snaps
"Too late on the warning, Gavin." Andrew replies,
Eve puts two fingers to her mouth and whistles, "Boys, enough. Save the fighting for the robot army."
Gavin walked off with his hands in his pockets,
"I really didn't mean to upset him, I just like Cherry, that's all." Andrew apologizes,
"Cherry seems to flirt with Gavin a lot," William states, speaking up for the first time.
"Yeah, even I can see that." Crystal agrees, "And I hate to even agree with him,"
Andrew looks at William's Lunar Caller, "I see you're the successor to Merrick's Wolf crystal."
"Yeah," William replies,
"My ancestor would be proud," Andrew states, "I'm happy with Sharky"
Cherry was walking back up the path toward the others, when a rock came flying at her, "Woah!" she ducked and stared at the rock
Gavin ran up, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were coming back, I didn't mean to kick that rock so hard,"
"Why are you even kicking rocks. Seems very childish to me?" Cherry asks,
"Better then kicking someone's face." Gavin mutters
"Pardon?" Cherry asks, "What's wrong with you, you've been...I don't know...jealous."
"I'm not jealous," Gavin replies, "I just don't like the way that guy looks at you."
"Which guy?" Cherry asks, "There's two guys..well three if you're added."
"The new guy," Gavin answers
"The new guy has a name and It's Andrew." Cherry replies,
"I don't care, I don't want you near him." Gavin states, with his arms crossed.
"You're not my father or older brother. You don't order me around. And you're way out of line." Cherry replies. She walks around Gavin and started back down the path,
Gavin turns around and stares at Cherry, "Do you like him?"
Cherry stops and turns around blinking stupidly, "What?"
"Do you like Andrew?" Gavin asks, again.
"Yes," Cherry answers then saw the hurt flash in Gavin's eyes, "As a new teammate, I don't see anyone like that. I'm not interested in guys let alone interested in dating,"
"Then you're..." Gavin began
"No, I'm not interested in girls either," Cherry interrupts "So get that thought out of your head,"
Gavin felt a spark of hope, that Cherry might like him in return, he wanted to ask but the way Cherry was looking, if he wanted to reproduce in the future he better keep his mouth shut.
Cherry spun on her heel and walked back down the path.
Andrew looked up as the red clad girl came into view,
"Che...nevermind." Andrew began but he just got a death glare from the Red Ranger.
"I'm going to bed, I suggest the rest of you do the same," Cherry states as she walked off to the girls' sleeping area,
Cherry changed and was in her bed when Eve and Crystal came in,
"Cherry, are you still up?" Eve asks,
"No," Cherry replies facing the rock wall
"Liar." Eve states, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong with me, It's Gavin that has a problem, He's jealous for no reason whatsoever." Cherry answers,
"He does have a reason, Jungle Girl." Eve states as she started to change into her own nightclothes,
"That is?" Cherry asks as she rolled over to face her two girl-friends,
"He likes you," Crystal answers
"More then a friend," Eve adds,
"I don't want to date anyone within the team, or without it." Cherry states,
"Why?" both Eve and Crystal asks,
"Because my only interest and goal is saving the planet." Cherry answers, as she rolled back over and closed her eyes, "Night."
Eve and Crystal shared a worried glance before climbing into their beds,
'I don't understand what's so special about me that Gavin or Andrew would like? I'm nothing' Cherry thought before she really fell asleep.
