Forbid or Forgive and Forget

Chapter 1

Let The Feelings Be Known

After the prom, Trent was able to see off his dad, Anton on a cruise ship.

"Okay Trent I'll be away for a few weeks to the month. Will you be okay alone?"

"Of course I will dad. I got to find out how it is at art school and all."

"Okay son. When I come back, we will probably do something together, me and you."

"And I would like that very much dad."

"Okay son."

Anton gave Trent a hug before leaving with Elsa To join Tommy and Katherine on the cruise ship. Anton waved goodbye to Trent before going inside the ship. Back at home Trent was drawing on pictures of him and his friends and Tommy and Katherine but most of them was made with him and Kira and just Kira herself. That night, Trent made a letter to Kira in which was made if he couldn't get to her all this summer.

'Dear Kira,

It has been a good while to hang out with you, and to fight alongside with you as well, when things got really bad for me, you went above and beyond to try and help me when you could have refused. I am forever grateful to have a very good friend like you. To tell you something, I really did have this big crush on you, but after everything bad that has happened, in which most was what I've done, I just can't express it fully, which is why I'm writing to tell you that no matter what, I will always consider you my best friend, but I forbid myself to ever be with you, and I think it's best considering the fact we have graduated Reefside high and are on our way to the next level of schooling. You have always been my superhero and always will be and I hope your dream comes true and wish you well in all of your future endeavors. Please forgive me Kira... For everything.

Sincerely,

Trent Mercer.

P.S. I always loved the color yellow.

Trent was shedding tears as he finished up his letter. He took an envelope and placed that letter along with his written pictures inside it and went to sleep.

Within the next few days. Trent was walking the streets of Reefside until he came across Conner and Ethan who was with their dates Krista and Angela.

"Hey Conner, Ethan." Trent said.

"Hey Trent." Conner said.

"Have you guys seen Kira?"

"No." Ethan said. "Last I checked she was still out college searching."

"Oh, okay well I'll leave you guys be. If you see Kira tell her I said hi and that I'll be heading to art school."

"All right." Ethan said as he and Conner continued their dates. Trent went to Kira's house. He knocked on the door to find out that her mom answered first.

"Hello Trent." Kira's Mom said.

"Hey Mrs. Ford, I just found out that Kira's not around. But if possible, could you make sure Kira get this?"

"Okay hon, I will."

"Thank you Mrs. Ford."

With that Trent went back home and stayed there for a few days as he checked out his new school that he will be going to in the fall.

5 days after, Kira returned from her college trip and found out the college that she wanted to attend was close to Reefside. Being away from her friends would be a sad sight especially when they only met for only one year. When she got home, her mom told her about the envelope Trent left her. She saw the pictures and read the letter after that she cried for a bit to think that she was loved by someone who really meant no harm to her. Kira went Hayley's Cyberspace Café to see if Hayley, Connor or Ethan saw Trent.

"Hey guys." Kira said.

"Hey Kira." Conner and Ethan said

"Have you seen Trent?"

"Just days ago." Conner said. "He told you that he said hi and that he will be heading to art school if he was unable to see you again."

"As for me." Hayley said cutting in. "He had resigned as of yesterday."

"Okay."

Kira turned around and walked away slowly as Conner and Ethan went to Kira to find out what was wrong when it was obvious they knew what was going on.

"Kira are you okay?" Ethan asked.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Come on, Kira, it's us." Conner said. "Ever since Trent joined us as rangers you always have a soft side for him. Kira, you can't deny that you love him."

"Well... He left me a letter stating that he did love me. It wasn't exactly worded like it. But he said after everything he has forbade himself to start a relationship with me."

Kira showed them the letter and they read that. After reading it the did feel a bit more sorry realizing during the time Trent was controlled by the evil of the gem that he really needed help and did not really believe that he was cursed. Hayley came as well and read the note as well too. And also realized how Trent really loved her.

"That's why Trent quit this job before the first time around. Because he didn't want to cause harm if he ever turned into the White Ranger."

"But Ethan, he was in control of the white gem." Conner said.

"Not completely and not at that time. Dr. O said that he had limits transforming at first. If only at the time we could have helped him, the rest on would never had happened." Ethan said. They all took a deep sigh after. "I owe Trent. I mean the whole glass technique for the date I used that on my date with Ashley and she liked how I was sophisticated." Ethan said continuing.

"And Trent really did save my life." Conner said. And at that point he looked at Kira "I'm sorry Kira, we didn't see him today. But if he's still around and we see him, we'll make sure to tell him that you are looking for him."

"Okay thanks."

Kira left to go to Trent's house but just to find out a house caretaker was there.

"Is Trent there?"

"I'm sorry miss Ford but Trent left. I don't know where he could have gone to."

"Okay Thanks."

Kira could only think of one place where he could be. The place where Trent trusted Kira to tell her about him being the cursed White Ranger.

I hope you're there Trent.

As Kira made her way there she was looking around to see if Trent was there.

"Trent? Trent!"

After looking everywhere Trent was still not there and she sat at the same place where she found out then and there Trent was the white ranger.

"Trent! Please come back!"

Kira ended up crying for the rest of the day until she went back to her house. Back at the house Kira had got a call from Conner and Ethan.

"Hello?" Kira asked.

"Hey." Conner and Ethan said.

"We're sorry that you weren't able to get to Trent." Ethan said. "But maybe, if you're feeling up to it..."

"Would you want to come to the beach with us? We're going to have a picnic there and from what I've heard they are having a dance party there for everybody." Conner said.

"Yeah Krista and Angela really want you to come as well." Ethan said.

"I don't know guys."

"Come on Kira, It'll cheer you up."

"Well... Okay."

"Cool. we'll come pick you up tomorrow?" Connor asked.

"Sure."

Once Kira hung up she looked at one of the picture Trent wrote for her on one of them is the personalities of Kira and the clothes that fit her with one of her hidden personalities wearing a Golden yellow dress with a microphone in her hand singing her heart out. Kira placed it on the side of her bed and went to sleep.

The next day Conner and Ethan got to Kira's house to pick her up and to their surprise Kira is wearing a yellow bikini with a matching sarong. Even Angela and Krista was shocked.

"Okay, Conner has the effects of that meteor we came across still has it's effect on us." Ethan said.

"Real funny Ethan." Kira said. "I could have refused to come."

"Well in all seriousness Kira, Trent would have want you to have fun and if part of having fun is to flaunt the one personality you kept hidden, or if it's because of something else then who am I to stop you from who you are."

"Are you trying to be selfish Conner?"

"I'd say 'we' Ethan, but I can't speak for you."

"Oh, well I was just joking from before Kira. I'm sorry."

"Forgiven. Now could we go to the beach?"

"Sure. Hop in."

Kira had gotten inside and all the girls had kept the them of yellow Krista had on a tan bikini while Angela had on gold. Once they got to the beach they were having fun with their picnic and played volleyball and danced together but only Kira watched as her friends all danced together. It was soon sunset and everybody on the beach almost left. Conner, Krista, Ethan, and Angela, were all ready to leave with Kira still sitting on the sand.

"Hey Kira! We're about to go!" Ethan said.

"You guys go on! I'm staying here for a while!"

"Okay!" Conner said. And they all left to resume the day that was left. As Kira still looked at the ocean she was looking around and on her right was more rocks and water which was around the corner. Then she looked left. The sun had sunk halfway into the horizon she started to turn around and leave, but upon halfway of turning she caught a glimpse of somebody sitting on a rock. Kira looked at that direction and to her joy she saw Trent sitting there. Her tears escaped her eyes as she was happy that Trent didn't leave for art school yet. In his letter he admitted to have a crush on her but she wanted to hear this from him.
