Strawberry (Power Rangers Dino Charge - Tyler Navarro)

21

"Hey, Fury! I heard you lost an energem and a Zord. You're looking real pathetic now." Heckyl laughed.

"Shut up!" Fury yelled. "At least I'm not the one behind bars."

"Ouch, that's quite rude."

"What's going on? I can hear you arguing from my room." Jodi questioned.

"Did you tell him about what happened?" Fury asked angrily.

"No." Jodi said honestly. "Spite did."

"You two are an irritating duo. I'd hate to see what Heckyl and Snide are like together."

"They're probably infuriating. Mainly to each other." Jodi guessed.

"You got that right." Heckyl sighed. "But maybe you'll see him soon. I have a feeling I'll be out of here in just a little while."

"Like that'll ever happen. Sledge would never. What gave you that idea?" Fury glared.

"It's just a feeling." Heckyl smiled innocently.

"Well, you two can argue all you want. I won't be here for it anyways."

"And where do you think you're going?" Fury asked.

"Back down to earth. The Ranger's are going to be back soon. Can't have them questioning me why I can't meet up with them when they ask where I'm at."

"Bring me back some food!" Heckyl called out. He then turned his attention back to Fury. "You know, if you brought Spite out for a bit, I'm sure she would come up with a plan."

"Shut up!"

"What a ride." Chase yawned as he jumped off the bus. "Finally, I can get some rest."

"Was the three hour long bus ride not long enough for you? You were basically drooling all over my shoulder." Riley complained.

"It wasn't that great. I need a nice bed."

"Or maybe a rock instead." Koda smiled.

"That's not my ideal kinda bed, mate." Chase said while patting Koda's shoulder.

"Well at least all of that is over." Tyler sighed.

"Now we just need to look for two more energems." Shelby smiled. She looked down at Tyler's hands and noticed a strawberry keychain. "What's that you got there?"

"Huh? Oh, this? I got it at a little shop back in New Zealand for Jodi. You think she'll like it? I just hope she likes it."

"I'm sure she will." Shelby smiled. But as always, she couldn't help but to hide her jealousy from him. Because their friendship mattered more to her. Even if it was killing her inside. "Speak of the devil."

Tyler turned to Shelby with confusion written all over his face. She pointed behind him, and he quickly turned around. He spotted Jodi making her way over. Though it had only been a few days. It honestly felt like he hadn't seen her in weeks.

"His ear red." Koda said.

"What, no it's not." Tyler denied.

"Actually Tyler, it is." Riley laughed.

"You've fallen hard." Chases teased. "Hey, Jodi!" He waved.

Jodi looked up from the floor and spotted the six all hopping out of the bus. Koda immediately ran over and pulled her into a giant hug. "I missed you too, Koda."

"I see you've decided to stop by and greet us." Chase smiled. "No doubt you missed me."

"Actually it was a really peaceful couple of days. I got to relax and enjoy my free time from you." If only that were true. "How was New Zealand."

"Very fun. I saw Dolphin." Koda smiled.

"You guys got to see dolphins. That sound's incredible."

"It was amazing. You would have loved it." Riley said.

"Guys!" They all turned around and found Ms. Morgan standing at the entrance of the museum. "Inside." she said as she turned around.

"Yes, Kendall." Chase called out. Ms. Morgan turned back around to glare at Chase. "I mean, Ms. Morgan." He corrected.

"Well, we better head inside. It was good seeing you. We should hang out tomorrow." Shelby suggested.

"I'll see what I can do." Jodi smiled.

"Farewell, Jodi." Ivan waved.

"You guys go ahead, I'll meet you in there." Tyler said.

"Okay." Riley said, patting Tyler's back.

Tyler turned to Chase, only to see him wink and throw him a thumbs up. Tyler rolled his eyes as they all went back inside.

"Bring back any souvenir's?" Jodi asked.

"Not that much. It was mainly work related so we couldn't shop much. But I did find one thing." Tyler smiled.

"What did you find?"

"Close your eyes."

Jodi smiled at him as she closed her eyes. She felt him grab her hand and give her something small.

"Can I open them now?"

"Yeah."

Jodi opened her eyes and looked down at her hand. She saw the strawberry keychain he placed on her palm and smiled. Though she wasn't necessarily into cute things, she really liked it. She couldn't help but to smile. "I love it. It's adorable."

"I thought that you might've liked it so I picked it up for you."

She can feel her heartbeat suddenly getting faster. It had been a while since she last felt this. And it felt a lot stronger than last time. "You didn't have to bring me anything."

Tyler smiled. "I know. But I wanted to. You mean a lot to me."

Jodi looked back at him and smiled. After realizing what he said, he looked away, trying his best to hide how shy he suddenly was. "You're a good friend and I want to get to know you better."

Jodi stepped forward and kissed his cheek. "Glad to be your friend."

Tyler looked back at Jodi in shock. Her cheeks were suddenly red. And so were her ears. He wanted to suddenly grab her hand and hold it. To spend a little more time with her.

"Can I ask you something?"

Jodi nodded her head. She wanted to smirk. "Sure"

"Tyler!"

The two turned back to the entrance. Ms. Morgan stood a the entrance pointing to her watch.

"Maybe another time. I'll talk to you later. We really missed you."

"I missed you too. Bye." She waved.

Tyler waved back at her as he ran into the museum. Once he was out of sight, she turned around and walked away, pulling at her hair. "I cant believe I just did that."

"Quite thoughtful of him to bring you a gift. Don't you think?"

"I don't like cute things that much. But this is an acceptation. As close as I'm trying to get to him, I really hope it doesn't come to the point where I'll actually have to kiss him."

"Then slow down. Stop making him fall for you so fast."

"Not my fault he's a hopeless romantic."

Jodi could still feel heartbeat. It was annoying her.

"Is something wrong?"

"I want to get rid of this stupid heart." She said in anger. "It's frustrating me."

"Your feelings are going stronger."

Jodi scoffed at her words. "I'm not letting that happen. I'll learn to control it."

Sorry for the late update. Hope y out enjoyed!
See you Friday :)
