Promise (Power Rangers Time Force Lucas)

"I'm dead."

"Lucas, calm down. Let's talk about this." Wes said.

"I'm dead. Sam's going to break up with me, Ransik definitely wants to kill me, and now I'm forced to go on this date with Nadira. I can't do this." Lucas panicked. 

"Sam's not going to break up with you." Wes assured. 

"When she finds about this, she definitely will." 

"Hold on a second, Lucas. Sam's the most understanding person I know. If she knows about the situation, I'm sure she'd understand. But she won't know."

"What?" Lucas questioned. 

"We don't need to tell Sam about this. It could be out little secret. Let's just try to settle this situation ourselves without the others finding out." Wes planned.

"And if they do? I'm going to just hurt Sam if she finds out I kept this from her. I don't want that to happen." Lucas said. 

"Look, let's at least try. Go on this date with Nadira. Plus, maybe we can get some information out of her." Wes said.

"I guess that could work." Lucas sighed.

"Okay. Now let's get you into some nicer clothes. This is a date after all." Wes teased.

"Shut up."

And that's where they were now. Lucas awkwardly sat across from her as she continued to smile and giggle at him. Seeing her like this kinda made it quite hard to reject her. 

Both Wes and Ransik stood far away spying on the two, both for different reasons as well. Lucas awkwardly turned towards Wes. But he only motioned for him to keep going. Lucas then turned to Ransik, who only motioned for him to give Nadira her gifts. "Uh, these are for you." Lucas said, handing her the flowers. 

"They're beautiful." Nadira gushed. She took a quick sniff of them and smiled at him. 

Lucas awkwardly smiled back. All he wanted to do was leave. To go back to the tower and hang out with Sam and the others. But mostly Sam. 

"And these other stuff too." Lucas said, handing her the other gifts. 

Nadira gasped as Lucas handed her things that her father had given him. He wasn't sure how she hadn't figured out these weren't from him. Lucas couldn't even afford most of these things. 

"You shouldn't have. But I'm so glad you did." Nadira smiled while holding up the necklace. 

Lucas looked over at Wes, who only gave him an awkward smile and thumbs up. Lucas rolled his eyes and shook his head. There was no escape.

"I'm so dead." Lucas muttered as him and Wes walked up the stairs. 

"Keep talking like that and you'll jinx it." Wes said. "Don't let them hear you." 

When they reached the top of the stairs, they saw the place completely empty. They let out a sigh. Lucas placed his jacket on a random box and took a seat at the table. "Thank god." He sighed

 "Better change before someone-"

Wes immediately stopped talking when he heard footsteps. The two started to panic. And when they saw Sam enter the room, both were afraid to make a single sound, but Wes talked anyways. "Hey, Sam." He awkwardly greeted. 

He didn't get a response. Instead, Sam walked right past him and over to the window.She sat on the ledge and leaned her head to the side. 

Both boys walked over to her, suddenly feeling concerned. "Is something wrong?" Wes asked.
