Me: Yah! I'm literally doing a happy dance right now! Story is finally finished!

Kendrix: Thank the Gods on Mirinoi!

Me: Don't jump to conclusions just yet Keni.

Kendrix: What is that supposed to mean?

Me: (*grins*) You'll see.

Kendrix: I don't like the sound of that.

Chapter 12: Follow Your Heart

July 10th, Friday…

(Scene: Maya's Hut/Kendrix' POV)

I was laying on the hammock, reading my book. Despite me, being a science geek, I do like horrors and Stephen King is the best. I tried to focus on reading but my mind was on something else, I was thinking about Leo. I understood he was worried about for the past couple of days, but way before that, I cold towards him.

I haven't got the chance to apologise to him. I guess I hurt his feelings, so now I feel bad, I know he loves me, I love him, but I was too scared to admit my feelings openly. I sighed, life is so tough, for every person in its own way, individually.

"Kendrix?" I closed my book and turned. My heart leaped, in a bad way. It was Leo. I gulped,

"Hi Leo. What brings you here?" Leo walked in, I sat up to make room on the hammock and he then sat down.

"Well… um… Keni, I'm going to say this straight out, but if you beat me up, then you're right to do it." He took a deep breath, "I love you Kendrix. I fell in love with you, since the day we met.",

"Or collided." I joked and Leo laughed a small bit.

"Yeah, sorry about that.",

"You know, you're brother Mike would've been the Red Ranger if I didn't lie to the Security Guards. I practically defended you." Leo arched an eye-brow,

"You literally lied straight out to the guards that were after me! Why did you do that?",

"I don't know. There was… just something about you that captivated me. What has drawn me to you is: every time I look at you, there's this small twinkle in your eye, meaning like… you're the kind of guy that can just… open me up easily." I said,

"What do you mean?" Leo asked,

"I just have this… people, men really say I have an "emotional barrier" that makes me difficult to read, but you… you just break down that barrier and you can read my hidden emotions so easily.",

"You know Keni, it's never good to have an "emotional barrier". Why do you have one?" I shrugged,

"Personal reasons. My childhood caused me to… close up on people. My parents ignored me a lot and… I lost my trust with people. When I became one of those Shadow Rangers, I thought I would have to go through that again. You might want to talk to Karone about my childhood, cause I'm not telling it again." I half-heartedly laughed,

"Put that on my tab. Second, Kendrix, we would never ignore or abandon you! It was the Shadow Galaxy Rangers' fault. We would try to support you in anyway possible!" I grinned,

"That makes me feel better and… Leo, I do love you.",

"You do!?" He almost sounded surprised, he must've thought I tried to change the subject. But I have to go with my heart, than my head and my heart is telling me to admit my feelings now. I smiled at him,

"Yes. I do and I'm sorry, way back at the party, I was the one being an asshole." Leo then laughed out loud,

"Does that make us even?" I nodded,

"Even." We then started to lean in and we kissed. It felt like the loch scene all over again.

"I love you Kendrix, you mean the world to me.",

"I love you too Leo."

Sneak Peaks of "Revenge of the Shadow Pink Ranger"-

A black Quasar Sabre raised from the ground, glowing and a figure just appeared, looking a lot like the Pink Wildcat Ranger.

"I will get you Kendrix Morgan." And the Ranger vanished…

I woke up screaming from my nightmare, Leo ran in alarmed,

"KENDRIX! Are you alright!?"…

All of a sudden, someone grabbed me and pulled me into an alley. I looked in fear, the Ranger from my nightmares,

"Hello Kendrix. Soon, we will become one!"

I faced everyone, they were all worried about, I've tried to hide my anxiety for as long as I could,

"Shadow Pink is after me."…

"Mike Corbett, my legacy isn't complete, I have heard your friend's distress. I will give you back my powers and you must protect her, till the danger has ceased."…

"Come on you guys! We must not let Shadow Pink, lay one finger on Kendrix." Leo turned to me,

"Karone has to be the Pink Galaxy Ranger again, it's too dangerous for you to fight, since it's you, she wants."

Kendrix: Are you kidding me!? Kill me please!

Me: And it's coming soon!
