Thank you for reading Chapter 1! Here's the next chapter.
"Okay, are you guys ready?" Kendrix ask as she watches Mike, Kai, Maya, and Damon buckled their seatbelts. Kendrix came and sit down next by Maya. Mike was checking the engines.
"Everything is in place," Mike said. "Hold on, guys." After seconds, the space rocket starts to move. They could feel there body shaking.
"Hey, I was wondering," Damon started, asking all of them a question. "Why didn't Leo come with us?"
Maya sighs. "Damon, really?"
"What, I thought we all are going on this trip to see Karone," Damon said. "Of course, he wouldn't miss seeing an old friend so why would he-"
"Damon!" Maya exclaimed. Damon covers his mouth.
Mike turns away from the controls and begins to speak, "He's a bit depressed. I don't know why though." He turns away and begins the controls again.
There was a blank moment. After awhile, Kendrix finally speaks up. "Moving on...I can't wait to see KO-35. It must be beautiful."
"Yeah," Maya started, "Think of all we can see. The buildings. The restaurants. Possibly, learning new stuff." Kendrix smiles as Maya leaned back and rested.
Kai unbuckled his seatbelt and walked up to get a snack. Damon soons walks up to Kai. Kai and Damon could see the last fruit salad in a little container sitting there. Both of them goes for it but realized that there was only one left. Damon lets go of it as Kai takes it out. "What do you think you're doing?!"
"Eating a snack," Kai informed, "What about you?"
"Eating a snack..." Damon said, "...oh, wait! You have it."
"Look, I think it's only fair because you eat a lot," Kai said. Their bickering and voices soons starts to get higher. Maya groans as she just got away from being rested. She stands up and walks to Kai and Damon.
"Kai. Damon," Maya said but none of them could hear. She shakes her head and grabs the fruit salad.
"Hey!" Damon and Kai said in unison after they found out that Maya stole it. Maya opens it and starts digging in it.
"Why did you do that for?" Damon ask.
"You little boys are fighting over food," Maya explained, "That's ridiculous." She went back to her seat and buckled in. "Fruit salad," Maya offered Kendrix.
"Don't mind if I do," Kendrix said. She puts one of her hands in the container and puts a fruit in her mouth. Damon and Kai went to go sit down and watches them eat their fruit salad.
In KO-35, Karone, who was wearing her wedding dress, was looking at herself in the mirror. She had her hair in a bun and was wearing crystal clear high heels. Karone was thinking 'I don't feel like myself. In fact, I've never did since I learned how to be evil'. Karone stares at herself more clearly. Suddenly, she heard a voice, "Wow! That's an amazing dress!" Karone was startled as she turned back.
Karone smiles faintly and said, "Cassie. Hey, so what do you think?"
Cassie walks in. "So I see Zhane has some taste."
"Actually, he has no taste," another voice came out. Ashley came in the room. "The fabric is too thick. The design is not fabulous. And don't get me started on the lining."
"We get it, fashion girl," Cassie said. Ashley smiles.
"So, are you ready for the wedding?" Ashley ask. "Just the next week."
"I guess," Karone said.
"So are you going to get this dress?" Cassie ask.
"I don't know," Karone said.
"Well, if you don't, I can pick one for you," Ashley offered.
"That'd be great," Karone said with a half smile.
"Are you okay?" Ashley ask. "You look kind of dull."
"Oh, it's nothing," Karone said. "Just nervous." Ashley nodded and walks out with Cassie. Karone turns around and looks at herself once more. After awhile, Karone got out of the dress and meet Ashley and Cassie in the lobby. She was carrying her purse on one of the hand while the other, her wedding dress. "Let's go." They walk out of the store.
Hours later, Zhane and Karone were taking their wedding pictures. "Perfect. Bright Smile!" The photographer instructed. After awhile, the photoshoot was cut short as the photographer had to go home and treat the sick.
"Hey, you look beautiful in that dress," Zhane complimented.
Karone smiles. "Thank you. You too, in that tux." Zhane smiles.
"Love you," Zhane said. Karone nodded and walks away.
She walks into the parking lot, getting her phone out. Karone was dialing for Ashley and Cassie to pick her up from the photoshoot. "Hey, Cassie," she said after Cassie answered and Karone held to phone by her ear. "Pick me up."
"We'll do," Cassie's voice said.
Karone hangs up and looks straight forward. 'Shrink!' She turns to her side after she heard that loud screeching noise. Over to her side was Zhane. He tripped over the wires and water splashes him in the face. Karone can't help but laugh. Harder and harder. Moments later, Cassie and Ashley arrive on the Jet-mobile. "Hey, what are you laughing at?" Ashley ask. Suddenly, Cassie starts to giggle a bit. Ashley smiles after she saw Zhane all wet.
"Here, I'll go help him," Karone offered.
"No, way," Ashley said, "it's your wedding dress and you already paid for it. I'll go."
"But Ash..." Karone started but trails off as Ashley was already making her way to Zhane.
Cassie turns to Karone and said, "Come on." They walks over to the Jet-mobile. As they were getting inside it, Ashley walks over to them, all wet from head to toe. "What happen to you?"
Ashley stomps on her feet. Cassie and Karone wipes away some moist spots. "Let's just go!" she exclaimed. Cassie and Karone silently laughs.
After Karone got out of her wedding dress, she was in her apartment and was finding something to eat. She opens up the fridge and found it completely empty. She grunts and grunts even more when she heard the door bell ring. "I'm coming!" she yells. Karone got up and head to the door. When she opens it, a lot of greeting went zooming in her ears. "Kendrix! Maya! Damon. Kai. Mike," Karone exclaimed. She looks a bit out to the hall of her apartment. "Where's Leo?"
"Depressed," Damon said. Maya turns back and gives him a stare. Damon tosses his hands up as if he's going to get arrested.
"Oh," Karone said in depressed, "I was thinking I should tell him somthing."
"Don't worry," Kendrix assured, "He's probably having second thoughts about staying in Mirinoi." Karone nodded.
"Well, come on in," Karone invited. "I need to tell you guys something." The former rangers walks into Karone's mini living room and sat down. "Sorry if this apartment is big enough. I've been raising some money to get a bigger one."
"So, what did you want to talk to us about?" Kai ask.
"I'm getting marry," Karone said before hesistating.
The room was filled with a lot of happiness and joy. "Wow. That's great news!" Kendrix exclaimed. "I cant' wait til you get marry. When is it?"
"What is a wedding?" Maya ask.
"It's when two people wanted to become each other's life and becomes a family," Kendrix explains.
"Oh, in my planet, that's call a ritual or a ceremony," Maya explain. "Anyway, I've been thinking, can I do your hair?"
"And make-up," Kendrix started with Maya. "How about we try to do something with your hair?"
"Yeah, maybe something old but new," Maya said.
"Listen," Karone stopped them before they could speak, "I don't know if I want to marry him, Zhane. He's a nice guy, funny exact. But I don't know if I love him anymore." The room was quiet.
Mike clears his throat and begins to speak, "Oh, okay. Mm... Karone, can you explain why you were interested in Zhane?"
"Um, I don't know exactly how, but when I was Astronoma, I had a little crush on him because he saved my life from my own monster," Karone said, "and I think I owe him for it."
"By marrying him," Damon pointed out. The others sighs.
"I-I...I th-think so," Karone said. "I don't know anymore. You die once. Marry once. And love...once."
"Well, I have an idea," Mike blurted out. "But we need to make a deal first. So what you do say?"
Karone questions it. "What? I...I can't. I would betraying my brother and Zhane."
"You don't need to worry," Mike said. "We just have to do what we can do."
"I think Mike should be right," Maya said.
Karone thought about it and... "Okay, so what's the deal?" ...assured she's doing to right thing, but deep inside of her she still questions about everything.
"Alright," Mike started, "We need everyone involve in this. Maya and Kai, you guys will have to help Karone get inside the rocket ship. Damon, you'll be the-"
"Oh, no," Damon whined, "not the decoy! I hate being the decoy!"
"Fine, Ken-" Mike started.
"I'll do it," Damon spitted out after some thoughts.
"Okay, Kendrix," Mike said, "your part is going to be the most risk. You have to be Karone." Kendrix widened her eyes. He can't be serious? Can he?
