So, this is just the beginning of the Wild West Rangers episode arch! It basically is Rocky and Kaleb's date. Now, I'm warning you, I am good at writing unrequited romance, but actual romance is not my strong suit. So, I did my best, and considering the fact that I haven't been on a real date in a while, I think I did pretty good.

I don't own Power Rangers.

Kaleb's PoV

Not much really happened between my brother and his family getting to our house and now, which it is almost 1:30 in the afternoon. I played with Sofia for a while last night and even read a bedtime story to her, and my younger siblings, as they were sharing their room together. I talked more with Ant and Maya, when they offered me the position of being one of the groomsmen at their wedding. I was honored, and of course, I accepted. It wasn't Best Man, but that was one of Ant's best friend's job. Also, they were going to have their wedding in Angel Grove Park, which I found cool. I could invite my friends to come as guests.

Since it was so close to it being two, I walked outside and just waited. The weather was nice today, though it was supposed to rain later on this evening, so we might get caught in it. Oh well, a little rain never hurt anyone, except maybe the Wicked Witch of the West.

Anyway, moving on, I was actually really nervous about today. I mean, what if something goes wrong and it ruins the whole date? What if Rita and Zedd decide to attack? What if he doesn't even come? What if he was just joking with me?

Well, the last one wasn't a possibility. The kiss yesterday proved that he was serious about us. So, I guess that also means that him not showing up was impossible also. Man, I was just so anxious. I haven't really ever been on a date with anyone. Actually, I've never done anything with anyone. Rocky was my first kiss, my first boyfriend, and just my first real genuine crush. I mean, there was a small little thing with me liking one of my teammates when I was back at my old school, but I didn't count that, as it was only a two day thing.

My worries were soon vanquished as the familiar red jeep pulled up in front, beeping the horn. I shook my head, laughing, before walking down to the car, seeing Rocky in all of his glory. He was wearing a shirt with sleeves for a change, with a pair of jeans and sunglasses over his eyes. Oh boy, please don't tell me it's another beach day, because, sorry, but I'd rather stay at home than go for another swimming lesson.

As I got into the car, he grinned at me, lifting the glasses from his eyes, "Do my eyes deceive me & do I see a really cute guy getting into my car?" He asked, looking be up and down. I blushed a bit, as this was all new to me. I wasn't used to having someone around that would just simply call me cute. I mean, I don't think I am, but if it makes Rocky happy to call me that, then I'll go with it. As long as he doesn't call me hot, but I'm definitely not. That's his job, to be the hot and sexy one. What am I saying?

I sat down and buckled my seatbelt looking over to him, "Where are we going Rocky?" I asked, looking to the front window. The car didn't move at all, making me look back to him, "Rocky?"

He just gave me a pout, "I was sort of expecting a hello kiss." He muttered. I rolled my eyes, before quickly leaning over and kissing him quickly on the lips. He grinned, "Okay, now we can go."

I threw my hands up in surrender, "You're impossible." I groaned. Rocky just laughed, before driving away from my house. "Don't worry Kaleb, you'll like where we're going."

I sighed, but nodded. I hope it wasn't anything dealing with water, unless we were drinking it. I pulled the bandana I had on my head over my eyes, just so I could be surprised when we get there. Hey, if he wasn't going to blindfold me, then why can't I do it instead? Plus, the sun was irritating and there wasn't much protection from the sun riding in the jeep.

Rocky had a small chuckle at that, or at least that's what I heard anyway. I couldn't really see, as there was a bandana in my path of vision, as mentioned before. Soon, after about ten more minutes of driving, I heard screaming and yells and I immediately thought there was something bad happening. I went to take my blindfold away, when Rocky's hand grabbed mine. "Calm down Kale, we're here." He told me.

I nodded, pulling my blindfold from my eyes, and placing it back on my head. I grinned, seeing what was in front of me. It was an amusement park, and I loved amusement parks. I don't do so good with water and thunderstorms, but I do love a good roller coaster. I also loved all of the games and the things that you could eat there. Now, normally, I was a very healthy eater, but I could never help myself whenever I go to these places. Cotton Candy, pretzels, soda, fried dough, all of that stuff was just so good.

I turned to Rocky, "I already love it!" I told him, my eyes probably glowing. He laughed, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "I'm glad, because we get free tickets." He told me.

I raised an eyebrow, and he laughed, "My aunt works here as a ticket manager and she 'managed' to snag me a couple of tickets today." He explained, before leaning down to me, "Now, my whole family doesn't know I'm gay, so she thinks I'm just with a friend." He said, a little scared. Oh, I see. Rocky's still in the closet, as it would be called.

I nodded, grabbing his hand quickly and squeezing it a bit, before letting it go, "Rocky, whenever you are ready, I'll be there to help you tell your family. I know how hard it was for me." I told him, smiling at him.

He smiled at me, "Thanks Kale. You're the best." He said, looking slightly down to look right into my eyes. You know, I never realized that Rocky was so much more taller than me. Like really, if I wanted to, I could just tilt my head sideways and I'd be resting my head on the crook of his neck, while standing.

Anyway, after getting the tickets from Rocky's aunt, who was a lovely lady, except she was really nosy, we walked into the park together. There was so much stuff to do and we only had six hours to do it all. I convinced my mother to let my curfew be extended. She only agreed because Rocky was with me.

Rocky grabbed my arm, "C'mon, let's ride the roller coaster!" He exclaimed. I looked into his face, and grinned. He looked like a kid in a candy store. I nodded, and he pulled me along, going into the line. I just laughed at how he was so excitable. Just another thing about him that is just so undeniably adorable. God, why did you have to send this perfect human being to me? What did I do to deserve him? He's so perfect, while I'm just, meh.

Skipping A Few Hours Ahead Because of Nothing Interesting Happening

After the roller coaster, Rocky led me to a haunted house attraction where you'd shoot a bunch of targets with red laser guns and you competed against your partner to see who could get the most points. Us being Rangers and having our Battle Pistols, we had great aim. However, I lacked the experience that Rocky had, so he beat me, but only by ten points.

After that, we just walked around, played a few games, lost them all, and deciding that it was time to eat, we both agreed to go get food. I got a hamburger, as I haven't had one in a few months. I was more of a regular sandwich guy myself. Rocky got a couple slices of pizza. By a couple, I mean four. Seriously, that boy ate more than a starved lion.

Sitting down at a table, we both started out eating in silence, before we slowed down and enjoyed each other's company. I turned to Rocky, "This was a good idea Rocky. I approve." I told him, giving him a thumbs up.

He just smiled, "I'm glad you like my ideas so much Kale." There it was again, that name. No one has really ever called me that. It was Kaleb, K, or just Rodrigues usually. Kale was never one of my nicknames. Funny, one of the most simply names to come out of my name is one that never has been said. Well, at least Rocky was creative.

He reached across the table and grabbed my hand with his. He then covered the hands with a napkin, like he was happy to be holding my hand, but he wanted to hide it from the rest of the world. Rocky gave me a sheepsh smile, while I inwardly swooned. I can't help it. My boyfriend was just so swoon worthy. I like the sound of that, my boyfriend. He's mine, and I'm his, and we are each other's.

We finished eating in silence. I mean, he actually finished everything. I got full when I ate about three quarters of the burger, and Rocky ended up scarfing it down after he was still hungry from eating the four slices of pizza.

After we ate, we both agreed to stay away from all of the spinny rides for a while. There was only so many options left. It was either a log ride, bumper cars, some more games, ferris wheel and a ride that goes up a long distance and has you hang at high altitude and drops all of a sudden with no warning. Well, I did like heights, but I don't think my stomach would be able to handle the last one. We both didn't have any other clothes with us, so we couldn't go on the log ride. We've already played the games that we wanted to play. The bumper cars were too violent for our now full stomachs, so we both agreed on the ferris wheel.

It wasn't one of those ones where you'd sit down next to someone and you'd get buckled in. It was one where you'd walking into a bigger tent like carrier, so more than two people could sit. But, luck was on our side, as we were the only ones in our cart. I leaned my head on Rocky's shoulder as we got higher. "I'm glad I cam to Angel Grove." I mumbled.

He chuckled, "Why's that?"

I lifted my head to face him, "Well, for starters, I met you." I told him. He gave me a smug grin, "Is that why you're so happy about being in Angel Grove?"

I shook my head, laughing, "No! Of course there are other things, like meeting the rest of the gang, becoming a Power Ranger, meeting Zordon and Alpha, but I feel like the one that matters right now is the fact that if I didn't move here, I wouldn't have met you and we wouldn't be here right now." I explained.

Rocky smiled, leaning to rest his head on my head. "I'm glad you're here too. I'm glad that I get to call you mine now also." He told me, wrapping an arm around. The ride suddenly jerked, making me yelp and bury my head into his chest. I was good with heights, but not being shaken around in them. I was always scared when an enemy hit my Zord in Warrior Mode because it made my whole robot shake. The only difference about then and now, is that now, I have someone to comfort me.

My fear lasted only a few moments, as the cart stopped swinging violently. I looked up to Rocky, "What happened?" I asked him.

He shrugged, "I think someone may have just gotten on or off, so they may have just stopped the ride." He explained.

I looked around, and turns out, we were on the very top so no one could see us. I smiled, "Oh, that makes sense."

Rocky nodded, "Yep, and it happened at the perfect time."

I raised an eyebrow, pulling away from him a bit, "What do you mean?" I asked.

He smirked, "Because, now I can do this without any worry of anyone seeing us." He said, before lifting my face to his and he pressed his lips to mine. My eyes widened, not really expecting it, but then, a few seconds later, they fluttered shut.

When he pulled away, I was blushing redder than I thought was possible. Why did he have to catch me off guard all the time? I mean, seriously, give some warning or something! Not that I'm complaining, because kissing Rocky was just too unreal. I mean, ever since I met him, he's really all my mind thinks about, when I'm not kicking Putties and monsters to the curb at least. It was like something in a dream, being able to actually kiss him. God, I sound like some sort of lovestruck schoolgirl!

He grinned at me, cheekily, making me roll my eyes. Rocky didn't say anything else as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders again, and pulled me closer to him. "Kale, this was probably one of my smartest decisions ever." He said.

I looked up to him, "What do you mean?"

"Everything about today, and yesterday. I'm so happy that I asked you to be my boyfriend, because otherwise, we wouldn't be here now." He told me, smiling a dreamy smile. He kind of looked a little drunk when he smiled like that, to be honest.

The cart moved again, pulling us back down, and I groaned. "Ugh, I was just starting to enjoy that!"

Rocky laughed until we got to the bottom and he walked out, with me following behind. He looked to me, "Hey Kaleb, I know that we have until eight, but how about we go someplace else? I mean, I like it here, but we pretty much did everything that we could and we still have three hours." He told me.

I smiled. I didn't care if we were only on a date for twenty minutes, it was time with Rocky that I got to spend. "Yeah, I don't care."

He nodded, "Now, this may seem crazy, but how about we go to the Youth Center. I mean, I don't know why, but something is telling me we have to go there." He told me.

You know, now that he mentions that, I've had this really creepy vibe telling me the same thing. It was like something was trying to push me into going there. And since it was only five in the evening, we could go over there. I turned to Rocky, "You know, I've been feeling the same way."

Rocky smiled, before we walked around, looking for the exit. Once we found it, we said our goodbyes to Rocky's aunt, who was still working in the ticket booth, before getting into Rocky's car.

Skipping the Drive

Once we got to the Youth Center, we walked inside. I looked around the juice bar area. Adam and Billy were there, sitting at the bar, while Kim and Aisha were sitting at a table. Well, not for long as Aisha and Kim ran over to me, squealing. Each of them grabbed one of my arms and pulled me away from Rocky. I gave him a look, 'Sorry!' I mouthed.

He shook his head, laughing. I guess he wasn't too mad. We had a fun three hour date, so I guess we could separate for now. Once Aisha and Kim got me back to the table, they pushed me into a seat, giving me expectant looks. I raised an eyebrow, "What are you guys looking at?"

Aisha smirked, "We had Alpha track you and Rocky with the Viewing Globe and we saw and heard everything that happened." She said.

I glared at her and Kim, "You two are creepy and perverted!" I told them.

Kim just flipped a hand, "Psh, just tell us what happened on the date!" She demanded.

Ugh, I was in for a long evening! I bet Billy, Adam and Tommy wouldn't act like this with Rocky. Why was I even being forced to be with the girls anyway?

Oh well, at least I had a good day with Rocky and that's really what counted.

So, there you have it. Rocky and Kaleb went on their date and Kim and Aisha are yaoi fangirls. Well, I guess I can sort of see that. Anyway, next time is when the real Wild West Rangers episode starts.

So, enjoy and review! I want to know how I did. Thanks, and lots of love to all of my readers.
