On Fire (Power Rangers Samurai)

37 - Amusement Park / Rangers (edited)

Mike and Emily deeply kissed each other in a corner at the side of the arcade. Mike leaned against the wall with his arms wrapped around her waist.

People who glanced at them couldn't help but do a double take as they passed by. But Emily and Mike kissed like nobody was watching.

They shared their warmth and breathed the same air, leaving no space in between them.

Both panted heavily as their lips parted.

"I love you." Mike reminded her.

"And you can't stay away from me." He teased.

Mike's lips slowly approached her neck. His movements were drawn out, making Emily wait in suspense.

He finally planted a soft kiss on Emily's neck before sucking her skin. It gave her chills.

"Give me another chance." Mike said in a deep and breathy voice.

Mike truly loved her.

Emily missed his touch. She missed the comfort he gave her and wanted him back.

She loved him too, but didn't want to feel ignored or taken for granted.

"Okay." Emily pushed away from him. "But we need to talk."

"Antonio, let's go back to the others." Mia asked for the umpteenth time. "We should all be together."

She became bored of the little rides and playing rigged park games.

"Come on, let's stay." Antonio shot a basketball towards a hoop and missed terribly.

"Can't you listen to me?" Mia began to feel frustrated after being dragged along. "I'm going back."

Mia walked away from him.

Antonio never saw Mia snap at anyone before, and didn't expect the first to be on him. In a way, he never thought he could make her mad.

"Wait, I'm sorry." Antonio jogged up to her. "I was being selfish. Let's go."

Mia sighed. She didn't like it when she was angry, but she was having trouble controlling herself recently.

She started to wonder whether it was worth always being kind. Why did she strive for perfection?

She felt as if her experience on Xandred's ship made her a different person. After breaking, she began to see the importance in putting herself first.

And if she was being honest to herself, she wasn't sure if she loved Antonio. And she wasn't sure if she was ready to put work into their relationship.

Mia and Antonio walked silently until they spotted Kevin and then the rest of the group.

"Everyone's back." Lauren saw Mia and Antonio coming back from a distance.

"Now all seven of us can hit the rest of the rollercoasters." Mike said excitedly.

The rangers spent the rest of the day having fun together. They joked around as they explored the park and screamed on rides.

All of them forgot about their troubles and lived in the moment. They became normal young adults.

"Hey! You all, would you all like to take a group photo?" An amusement park photographer jogged up to them.

The rangers were all about to decline before Lauren said, "Sure."

"Alright! Get together!" The photographer waved her hands for them to scooch closer as she peered through the camera lens. "3, 2, 1!"

"Perfect!" The photographer showed the group the picture. "If you would like to purchase a print-out of this photo, it would be 20 bucks."

Jayden looked at the photo and immediately became fond of it.

The photo looked great. Each of their positions and facial expressions were very telling of their personalities and relationships.

It was a rip off, but he paid the photographer the 20 bucks and she printed out the photo for them.

"We saved the best for last." Jayden and the other rangers watched in amazement as their final ride light up the night sky.

"The Power Rangers Samurai rollercoaster." Emily read the name aloud. "Isn't it amazing how they did that in our honor?"

The rollercoaster was red, yellow, blue, pink, and green. It excluded the new additions, gold and black, since it was built during the previous generation of power rangers.

Large, detailed murals with the 5 rangers in their respective stances were placed around the ride. A new one of the gold ranger was in the process of being made.

It was the biggest rollercoaster in the amusement park, and after riding it, they deemed it the fastest and most terrifying one of them all.
