Alright we are up to coupling now. Ashley and Andros are the only ones who had a clear understanding here, especially since they have been married for a couple of years now. Read at how Andros reacts to how the others make a joke regarding Mia. Well, watch out how Tommy would react. It is understandable, Mia is there only daughter, what do you expect.
Oh, before I forgot, I am only making some of the power ranger couples, I still not sure of the others though.
Disclaimer I don't own Power rangers.
Chapter 15 'the meddling Vessel'
Nick's POV
It was Nick's turn to bring food for Mia, he was happy cause he could ask Mia about something that he couldn't tell to the others even to his own parents. Mia had always the only person whom he could talk to about anything out of the blue. He don't know why but he felt comfortable every time he is with her.
The moment he reached Mia's room, he saw her trying to sneak out of her room, he sighed and brought out his wand morpher to levitate Mia and bring her back to bed.
Mia pouted at this and face palmed as she was returned to bed. Nick smiled at Mia, and set the food on the food stand and placed it near her bed.
Mia sat straight and grabbed the spoon and started eating.
"How are you feeling?" Nick asked.
"Good, this food is a lot tastier than this morning." Mia commented.
"How could that be, they all just taste the same." He said, confused as what Mia meant.
"Why don't you try to sit between two people who are glaring like daggers at each other?" Mia said annoyance is evident in her voice. "Will you be able to eat properly?" She shook her head remembering the event during breakfast.
He even saw her shiver, he laughed at this. Then he kept quiet, he too is in the same boat as those two. Liking someone but scared to tell her because her sister likes him too. He doesn't want to hurt anyone so he decided to keep his feelings away.
"What do you like most, is it the pink or the blue?" Mia asked taking him out from his reverie.
Nick was a little bit startled when Mia asked him.
"What?"
He saw Mia laughed at him. "I am asking what you liked the most, is it the blue or the Pink?" Mia said the moment she stopped laughing. "You are here but your mind seems to be far away."
He laughed at her comment. "I like Pink the most."
"Is that her color?'' She asked curiously.
Nick just looked at her.
"Is she mad because you are here?"
Nick shook his head.
"It is way too complicated." Mia looks at him questioningly.
Nick smiled. "Her sister likes me and I know she doesn't want her sister to get hurt because of what I felt. She is my friend and the last thing I wanted to do is hurt her."
Mia nodded in understanding. "What if that girl likes you too? Will you just give it up?"
Nick looked at her, sadness in his eyes. "You know it is a lot more difficult to hide your feelings toward the person you like, worse is when she found someone whom she would love since she doesn't know if you like her or not."
"Are you telling me to confess my feelings to her?" Nick asked right brow rose. Mia nodded.
Nick shook his head. "No way. I already told you I can't especially since her sister likes me."
"But that doesn't mean you won't like her sister. Remember, you can always have a little chance to be happy so I suggest you should grab the opportunity and confess to that Pink of yours."
"Do you think so?" Mia nodded again.
"Of course, take your chances, Nick, because sometimes that is the only chance you've got."
Nick become quite, Mia knew that he was already thinking about what she just said. She continued eating, who knew, maybe later on she won't be able to eat properly again.
"Maybe you are right." Nick suddenly stated. Mia looked at him and smiled.
"Could you accompany me later outside, I think I needed fresh air after this talk." Nick smiled.
"Sure."
"By the way, who is bringing my dinner?"
Nick thought for a moment.
"I think it was Karone." Mia made a face upon hearing it which made Nick's brows furrowed.
"What is the matter?"
"If it was Aunt Karone, that means Leo will definitely follow her here. Oh my gosh!" Mia said disappointedly.
"What is wrong with it?"
"Leo keeps on following Aunt Karone anywhere, and for him, my room is the best place for them to talk, but instead of talking, they keep on bickering and then come with their dagger glares." Mia sighed. "Oh, how I wish I can eat with you guys again and not here in my room."
Nick laughed, he couldn't believe what Mia had just said, but knowing Mia complaining those things it would be true.
"Isn't that an interesting event?"
"How can I ever regain my strength if I can't eat properly? I better complain this to Dad if he ever comes here or to father; I hope they could do something about it." Nick smiled and an idea came to his mind.
"Finish your meal then I can accompany you going out."
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Jayden's POV
Jayden watched at how the two talked inside Mia's room, he watch at how happy Mia could be while talking to the Mystic red ranger.
He never saw her act like that, complaining about something, she never saw complain regarding their teammate before.
"What kind of relationship do those two have?" He thought. He could tell he don't like what he sees, he wanted to go in and join theme, the problem is he doesn't have any reason to but in, he is not Mia's boyfriend.
"Worst, I have no idea on what Mia feels right now. Mike even admitted that the Conner really looks good." Jayden was becoming depressed as he keep on thinking on what Mia really felt.
"I better go check on the others, rather than staying here." He decided. He took a long deep breath and walk but keep on stopping on every step he make, and every time he stop, he breath in a sigh, trying to stop the pain that keeps on building up on his heart.
"Jayden, Man , are you okay?''
Jayden looked at where the voice from and saw Mike. He shook his head and started to walk away and this time no more stopping.
"Jayden, Wait up." He heard Mike half yelled.
Jayden never stop though, all he cares about is to lessen the pain that keeps on growing in his heart.
Nick and Mia sneaked out and wonder around Reefside.
"This is a lot better than staying in that room." Mia said as she looked around the mall.
Nick smiled as he too looks for something he would want to buy. As he look around he saw two familiar figures, that are following them. He smiled as he held Mia's arms bringing her to another part of the mall.
Mia is oblivious to what is happening so she thought that Nick just saw something else that he wanted so she went along and enjoyed herself.
On the other hand, Nick enjoyed himself as he secretly observes how one of them reacts every time he touches Mia's arms to tell her or show her something interesting. How he loved seeing him wanted to attack him while his companion is tired of trying to stop him.
"Hey, are okay?" Mia asked when she noticed him secretly looking on something, she was about to check what he was looking but he immediately pulled her gently and brought her somewhere else. He doesn't like to end the predicament he was giving him, h wanted to know how he will react to his friendly gestures towards Mia.
"I couldn't just believe that he really rejected Mia when she confessed to him, if he is acting like this." Nick thought. "Maybe there is some part I didn't hear from the conversation Trini, Kim and Ashley had the other day."
"Hey!" Mia nudges him. He looked at her.
"Look at that." Mia pointed on a pink headphone. "You better buy that for her, Nick, I'm sure she would like that."
Nick went to check it as Mia followed him. He smiled gently as he remembered how Vida love to hit on the music.
"Hmmmnnn… Cute isn't it?" Mia said, he smiled and nodded. He took the headphone and head to the teller and paid for it. After paying for it, Mia run to him and linked her hand to him, Nick look at him as he saw how the poor guy slumped on the floor, he shook his head.
"Is that how I reacted every time I see Vida being so closed to Xander." He shook his head. "I guess not."
"Poor guy." He murmured
"What did you say?" Mia asked.
"Let's look for other things that we could buy." He said and led the way. Mia looked at him confusedly.
"I'm sure that is not what he said."
Nick look at her. "Let's go." Mia nodded and run to him.
*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(
Jayden and Mike are talking about training when they saw, Mia and Nick sneaking out of the headquarters.
"Where are they going?" Mike asked looking at Jayden. Jayden just shook his head and followed the two.
"Hey, Jayden, where are you going?" Mike said as he followed him. Jayden didn't reply, instead he just walked silently and enough distance from the two so they wouldn't notice him.
Mike look at Jayden disappointedly. "Damn, I hate this side of yours." He said as he follows Jayden.
"Jay!" Mike said as he stood in front of Jayden. "It is not good to spy on people having dates. We are disturbing their privacy, you know."
"Date?" Jayden hissed. "Why would they date?"
Mike looked at him, right brow raised. Jayden turned to pass through him while Mike turned around and look at him.
"Maybe they like each other."
Jayden stopped. "I don't think so." He said and continued on following the two. Mike raised his hands in frustration and followed Jayden. But then smiled, this is one of the rare moments that he saw his leader become very jealous over someone who couldn't care much of him nowadays.
"This seems to be interesting." He said excitement in his tone.
Mia and Nick stopped in a mall looking for something they could buy while Jayden and Mike were not to far away from them but a safe area where they couldn't be seen.
The moment Nick hold Mia's arm leading her to another area of the mall, Jayden's hand fisted. The second time he touches her, he was about to show himself to the two but was stopped by Mike.
"Easy man, Easy. We are just following them. We aren't supposed to be showing up there and ruined their date." Mike said. But to his dismay, Jayden keep on almost attacking Nick.
"Jayden, listen well. We are not here to destroy their date. We are already invading them just by following them here." Mike stated, exasperated by his friend's action.
"Can't you see, he keeps on holding Mia's arm, his taking advantage of her, without her noticing it?" Jayden said frustration is evident in his face.
"That's it, he is just holding her arm, nothing's wrong with that." Mike said equally frustrated.
When they looked at the two, they saw Mia running towards Nick and linked her hand to Nick.
"Oh oh, that did it." Mike stated as he saw Jayden slumped on the floor defeated.
The two still followed the couple as they make their rounds in the mall, Jayden has no more strength
To try and but in to what Mike keeps on telling him a date.
After an hour of following the two, they finally decided to go home which made Mike to sigh in relief.
"Thank goodness, we are going back. I am so tired.'' Mike complained once he reached his room, he looked at Jayden who is now pacing back in forth, which made Mike sigh for the second time.
"I couldn't believe she would sneak out just to go out for a date." Jayden said.
"Jayden, Mia has all the right to do the things she wanted to do." Mike said.
"She isn't well yet, she just came from coma." Jayden defended.
"That was how many weeks ago, she is okay now." Mike said, trying to defend his sister.
"I am not saying that it is Mia's fault, what I am saying is, Nick knew Mia's condition, he must know that bringing Mia anywhere might not be good in her health." Jayden said.
"Admit it, you are just jealous." Mike said, and he hit it. That made Jayden to keep quite.
"Don't worry, I was about to visit Mia later. I will ask her if she like Nick." Jayden just nodded.
Mike is on the way going to Mia's room when he heard people talking. When he look he they were, it was Andros, Jason and Tommy.
"Is this really okay?" Andros asked. "Calling back all the other rangers?''
"Mia called Karone already." Jason said
"But why would she call her?" Andros asked
"Karone has to face Dark Spectre in order to redeem herself." Tommy answered. "I guess that is what Mia was thinking. And maybe she has a hidden agenda on calling her here."
Jason and Andros looked at him.
"Yeah, maybe you are right." Jason stated. "Mia and you have the same way of thinking most of the times."
Andros raised his brows as Tommy smiled at Jason comments. Mike secretly agreed.
"Yeah, they do." He decided to move on to his destination.
"Maybe they are right, it would be better if we let the other rangers join this battle. I better suggest to Mia that we call the team to help us. Besides the other red rangers listen to her more than her father."
The moment he entered Mia's room, he saw her frowning, with her are two of the Lost galaxy ranger glaring daggers at each other. Mike stopped at his track.
"Mike!" Mia said as she noticed him standing in the door. She was about to walk going to him when Karone stops her.
"Mia, you should eat your meal. You haven't touched it yet."
"Ow….. Yes Aunt Karone…" she sat and signaled Mike to come in, Mike was about to refuse when Leo looks at him.
"Mike come in, I guess you have some important matters to discuss with Mia, I believe."
"Y-yeah…." Mike sat on the couch as he look at the three.
"Ahmmnnn.. So how have you been guys?" Mia said trying to start a conversation.
"Fine." Mike immediately answered. Mia looked at Karone.
"I am still not used on staying here, but I'll get accustom to it soon." Karone said.
"You would have been accustomed of staying here if you didn't just disappear." Leo said.
Karone look at exasperated. "I already told you my reason. What part of it can't you understand?"
"Everything, I don't understand everything." Leo hissed.
"Good move, Mia, smooth." Mia silently scolded her herself.
"Do I have to explain everything to you again?" Karone stated as she starts to become frustrated at Leo's stubbornness.
"No! You don't have to, because your reason is not acceptable. You could have told us your fear, everything, we could have helped you. We are friend, right?"
"That's the point, you are just my friends, and I can't keep on drag you to my problem when all of you are starting to have a good life." Karone half yelled and then bolted out of the room. Mia just sighed as he saw Leo get a lot angry at what Karone had said.
"Leo" She called. Leo looks at her. "Tell me; what is the reason, that you can't accept her reason when her brother understands her motives on leaving, her fears."
Leo stared at Mia for a long time. "You don't understand a thing about this Mia."
"I do." Mia said.
"Yeah, she does." Mike agreed. Mia looked at Mike and smiled. "She left us without even saying any reason why she left. And then she came back not even saying a word then we just knew it by seeing it and hearing from you guys but not from her own lips. So what is the reason why you can't understand her.'' Mike's brow rose.
Leo kept discreet. "What part of it that you can't accept the part where she left or the reason why she left?"
Leo look away. "When Aunt Karone came here to earth, she accepted the fact that she has to face danger again, or the fact that she might be turned into evil again. And the fact that she is back to see you choosing Kendrix over her."
Leo's eyes widened. "But I guess, the way I look at it, you like Kendrix the way Aunt Karone likes you. You love Kendrix."
"Did Karone tell you that?" Leo asked. Mia shook her head.
"It is what I observe while watching at everyone." Leo was about to leave when Mia stop him. "Leave her alone, she already moved on; don't open the wound she successfully healed."
Leo's hand fisted. Mike had seen this and unbelievingly looks at Mia.
"Or I am truly got the wrong idea of what I had observe. Are you confused on your own feelings that you don't know whether you like Kendrix or Karone?" Mia looked at him wondering. But all she got was a wide eye stare from Leo.
"When Aunt Karone went away, instead of giving you the chance to realize your feelings you end up with anger and loneliness. And a lot more confused on what you really feel." Leo sighed and sat down beside her and hugs her. Mia just smiled and tries to comfort him.
"You better go to Tommy or to Jason; I guess they could help you with your problem." Mia said. Leo laughs.
"I don't think they could help me, they too have the same problem as mine."
Mia smiled remembering her predicament early this morning. "Yeah, but at least you could try."
Leo nodded and went out of the room, Mia immediately grab the food in front of her and take a bite. Mike sighed.
"That was a nice advice you gave him." Mia smiled at him.
"If I don't do that I won't be able to eat."
Mike laughed.
"I saw you." Mia questioningly looks at him. "I saw you sneaking out, together with Nick."
Mia almost chokes when she heard him. Mike ran to her and soothes her as she calmed down from coughing and giving her water to drink.
"Are you two dating?" Mike asked afterwards. Mia look at him laugh.
"What?" Mike said.
"Of course not, I needed to go out from this room once in a while, besides, he confided something to me." Mike's brow rose.
"What is it?" Mia shook her head.
"I can't tell you, I have no right to."
Mike nodded in understanding. "As long as the two of you aren't dating that's good. I don't like him for you."
Mia laughed at this.
"By the way, aren't you going to call Lauren and the others here, I'm sure we are going to need their help now."
Mia suspiciously looked at him. "What?" Mike asked confusedly.
"Do you have something for Lauren?" Mia asked. "For the past few days, you've been talking about Lauren all the time."
Mike's cheeks turned pink and vigorously shook his head.
"Aha, you do like her, don't you?" Mike's eyes widened.
"Oh, Mike has something for Lauren. That is why you keep on complaining when Lauren said that Conner is handsome." Mia teased. Mike was about to speak up but he has nothing in retort.
"Mike likes Lauren." Mia said with an excited tone.
"Oh, stop it already. You don't have to keep repeating it." Mike pouted, but Mia continued laughing at this.
"Mike likes Lauren, Mike likes Lauren." She keeps on repeating and it started to annoy Mike. Then suddenly Mia stopped laughing and become so serious.
"But Lauren likes Conner." She said as she saw Mike's expression change into pain. Mia smiled at how he reacts.
"Got you there, it is just a joke. See you can't deny it anymore." Mike glare at her.
"That is not a good joke."
"I know." Mia happily answered.
"How could you joke such thing when you know that I like her?" Mike half yelled.
Mia acted like she was thinking. "I would love to see how you would react about it."
"You." Mike said as his finger pointed at Mia.
"What's happening here?" A very confused Antonio asked. Both looked at him.
Mike could tell that Antonio is a little bit hurt when he saw how the two of them could squabble in such a way. Mike was about to explain things but Mia interjected and signal Antonio to come in.
"Nothing, Mike just told me something about the team coming here to defeat the enemies." Mia stated.
"But the two of you are arguing." Antonio said.
"He is pointing a point about bringing the group here." Mia looked at Mike and winked at him. Mike just smiled at it and mouthed Thank you.
"Okay." Antonio went back to his happy demeanor and started to become bubbly again. He too started to tell stories about the cruise he went in. How he had fun and that he enjoyed it.
Mike and Mia just made some comments at Antonio's cruise.
"How about you, Mia, What did you do for the past year?" Mike asked. Mia smiled.
"After discovering my marks, I was brought to planet Aquitar." Mike and Antonio looked at her wide eyed. "I stayed there for almost a year, training and learning about who I really am."
Mia smiled. "And I had a great time staying there, because mother and father are there visiting me and caring for me."
Mike smiled and messed her hair.
"I am happy to hear that."
Mia went to find Udonna around the headquarters, only to find her in the head quarter's garden.
"Udonna, can I ask you something?" Udonna looked at her and nodded and seated in the nearest bench, Udonna signal her to sit too.
"What is it?"
"It is about the ranger named Vida. Can you call her here?" Mia asked. Udonna nodded but she is a little confused on what Mia is trying to do.
"What is the reason that you are doing this, Mia?" Udonna asked.
"I wanted to do something for the rangers as a gratitude for what they did and are going to do."
'You know that you don't have to do this, they are helping you with their free will."
Mia smiled
"I know that but I want to know if my theory is right." Mia answered.
"What theory?"
"Regarding the rangers I am looking for."
Udonna stared at her.
"The Cosmos ranger?" Mia nodded.
"I guess I found them."
"Where are they?" Udonna excitedly asked.
"Here." Udonna frowned then she understands.
"The rangers themselves are the rangers you are looking for?" Mia nodded.
"It was confirmed the moment Casey was able to use the Celestial crystal. But I am a little bit confused because Casey was able to use only half of the power of the celestial crystal."
"What do you think is the reason?"
"There is something that is hindering them in using the crystal. And I believe it has to do with their feelings."
"Are you going to fix it for them?"
Mia shook her head, "I can't do that, all I can do is give them advice and to meddle a little bit so they could do something about it."
"But what if it is about love, about their relationship to other rangers or to a civilian?"
"The only way is to let them know about the battle we are having."
"We have to involve them on the battle." Udonna inquired as Mia smiled sadly as she nodded.
"I know I am cruel to think about it."
"You aren't, doing it is the only way, so I will help you in the best way I can."
"Thank you, Udonna. But we should keep this plan as a secret for the both of us, do not tell anyone about this. I want them to realize their own feelings and try to solve their own problems without the feeling of being pressured. I still want them to have a normal life even in this kind of situation."
Udonna smiled. "Well this would be interesting; we will see how these rangers grow up to this challenge."
This time it was Mia's turn to frown. "What do you mean?"
''The rangers are all grown-ups but they still think as if they are teenagers, Mia. They act without thinking and worst they just make decisions without analyzing the situation."
Mia laughed at Udonna's comment; she looked as the older woman start to dial at her wand morpher.
"Vida, as the Pink Mystic force ranger, I summon you and perform your duty in saving the world."
Mia smiled.
"Come here alone, the others will be summoned once they are needed." Udonna turned off their communication and nodded to Mia.
"Thank you for trusting me, Udonna." Mia said. Udonna smiled as she shook her head.
"What do you think would happen once she is here?" Mia asked.
"Just wait and see." A grin appeared on Udonna's face.
To be continued…...
