Tai mock glared at Ryla and Rex then he looked at Ariana. "Just remember the warning and the price," he told her

Ryla had slowly made her way to her masa, and smiled as it was in her hands. Just after Tai spoke she nodded, and unsheithed it, "Yea ... just don't step on toes right now ... you're still on thin ice with me ..."

She walked back over to the boys and sheithed her sword back up, slining it onto her back, grining to hem both.

Ariana nodded to Tai, and then Ryla, "I understand ... I will comply , and bleive me ... it is not in ... my nature to do otherwise than good ..."

She smiled slihtly to Taren, then stood a little awkwardly. She wasn't sure what was going to happen now, all of this settled for now ... she wanted to talk to Felix, but he dind't sem in the mood.

"Now everyone can go home. If anyone has any ideas for how to help Winter, fell free to share anytime day or night. My ears are always alert. But we're all tired. Just go," he said with a sigh

Ariana nodded, and turned to Mafitte, We are to go then MAfitte?

She herself did not know where she would teleport to if she even knew how ...

Ryla puleld herself up onto the console again,and kciked Rex gently, "Hey boy ... what you up to now ... cuz I'd like to see you tease me now ... I'm armed boy," she winked playfully and laughed, swingin her legs back and forth.

Adam wrapped an arm around Trini, "So ... we going home now then Kitten?"

Back to the house. The family won't be there for awhile yet

"Hmm, I could say something about a girl with a big long metal thing, but I'll be nice," he stated

"Of you're ready."

Ariana nodeed, Well ... 'lead' the way then ...

She atempted a smile to her, wondeinrg what the girls real form looked like ...

RYla's jaw hung open ,and she kicked him again, "Oh yea, be nice ... like the Rex Hart I've come to know would ever be that ..."

But she smirked and rolled her eyes, "You're lucky you've got a pretty face, you wouldn't get away with half the stuff you do otehrwise ..."

Adma nodded, and lifted her wrist with her communicator, "Home please kitten ..."

He faked a yawn, and whispered softly, "I thin kwe need to get to bed ..."

"My face is not 'pretty' it's ruggedly handsome," Rex stated

Tai rolled his eyes

Trini smiled and teleported them out of the CC and into her apartment

Maffitte blinked and suddenly they were back in the mpty house

Ryla laughed aloud, and grinned, "no no dear ... you're a clean shaven perfectly moused ,pretty boy ... not that the female populations minds I;m sure ..."

she turned to her ex, and sdmirked, rasiing a hand over his ehad, as is illuminating him, "Now this speimaen .. if hegot a good scrudff on ... he'd have ruggedly handsome down pat ..."

She patted Tia's head gently and winked, "Your'e gorgeous babe ..."

She laughed again and sighed, Ryla liked this newfound good spirites ... maybe angry in battle ='s happy in life? ... She liked being a pwer ranger ...

--

Adma, alsmot immeditaly, wrapped her in his arms, and kissed her full on the lips, "Trini ..."

His hands stroked her abck, as his tongue slid into her mouth eagerly.

--

Ariana decided on sleeping , "Thank you Mafite ... you have done a great deal for me ... but i am going to sdleep now ..."

She bowed her headto the cat, and made her way back to the bedroom, curling up under the covers of the large bed.

Tai's ears turned red and he couldn't find the words to say anything

"Aww. how cute, he's all blushy. I think you embarassed him, Ryla dear," Rex stated and moved out of tai's considerable reach
--

Trini sighed and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him back
--

Maffitte bowed her head and then curled up herself in a comfy spot

Ryla pouted, and slid off the console. She reached form behind him and hugged Tai around the midsection, "Sorry Tai ... don't get all blushy now ..."

She touched her cheek to his back before puled back and patting him on the ehad again, best she could from her now lower height. SHe walked to Rex, and punched him in the arm, "There ... I punched him for ya Tai ..."

She grinend adn looked at Tai. iut had felt good to hug him ... too good. She turned abck to Rex and grinned, slugging him gently again, trying to ignore how good it had felt to touch Tai.

--

Adam slid his fingers along ehr abck ,and gntly under her shirt, "I need yo uKitten ..."

he murmered against her lips and pulled ehr tigher to his body.

Tai gave a slightly goofy lopsided grin but didn't say anything still

"ow. Ow. Geez, it really must be hit Rex day," he said rubbing his arm and pouting petulantly
--

Trini sighed. "Good, I was afraid it was just me," she murmured absently and kissed him again

Ryla grinned to Rex, but her eyes drifted abck to Tai slowly. She was so tempted to pull teh maway and to just sock Rex ahgain to prove him it was hit Rex day, but ... she just smiled at Tai for a few moments, almost awkwardly, and her cheeks pickened, before she did sock Rex, and turned away, fomr Tai.

SHe had to get Billie to check her ... there had to be some sort of ... remnants of the potion .. ahd to be ...

--

Adam shook his head, and pulled ehr shirt from her body, "NEver Kitten ..."

His lips slid along ehr neck to her collarbone, he murmered almost absently, "I love you too much not to need you ..."

He froze, oh god, he prayed he hsdn't said that aloud ...

Rex was grinning now. "Ah, I think love is in the air And this time we can't blame it on evil," he said and waited for it

Tai smacked him with his sheethed sword

"Ow, that's so cheating," he stated

--

Truini was pushing and pulling at his clothes rather impatiently, then after a moment, she stilled. "What did you say?" she whispered softly, hesitantly

Ryla too smacked Rex, "Shut up Rex ... just ... shut up ..."

And she was off, "Billie ... I need yo uto test me .. .do whatever sciency stuff yo udo .. .i wanna know if there's any of that love ption left in me ..."

There just had to be ...

--

Adam took in a breath, and pulld back, his arms still holding her. He stared into her eyes, his softening a she spoke, "i said ... I said I love you too much not to need you ..." he toko in a another breath and spoke again, "I Love You, Trini Kwan ..."

Oh god .. .was he signing his eviction notice rihgt there?

"There's not," but she signaled Beez to scan her anyway.

After a long several moments Beez spoke. "No foreign matter found," she stated

Rex grinned triumphantly

Tai held his face. Oh, this was a complication he so wasn't up to dealing with right now
--

Trini stared at him a long moment. lips slightly parted before she gave him a beaming smile and wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly. "Oh, Adam, I love you so much. I always have. If I hadn't well.." she trailed off and held tighter. "But I do,"

Ryla covered her face in her hands, and turned back to Rex, "i'll smother you in your sleep Rex Hart ..."

With that she graoned and just turned away, teleporting out quickly. This was humiliating ...

Kim waltz over to her coisin and grinned, "Well Rexy ... you sure know how to piss off women don't you ..."

She eyed Tai curiously, bwefor whispering to her cousin, "IS he gonna go off and sulk to ... or go after her ... romance novel style ..."

Obviously, as much as Kim could try ... Rex's humor had to have run in the family.

--

Adam's face lit up and he kissed her furvently, holding her to him afterwards, "Trini ... I've loved you since I saw hyou while sitting on your fire escpae ... god no .. .before that, since the first night we started talking .. .god I've loved you since I first saw that one poiece of hiar fall into your eyes ... I lvo you Trini Kwan, with all of my heart ..."

It felt so good to say it, to have her return his love ... as much as he tried not to be ... his heart was very fragile, as much as his ego. But she lveo him .. Trini loved him!

Rex smirked. "I think Tai's developing a hero complex. He'll be going after her, of coarse," he stated seriously, almost phychiatristly

Tai pointed his sword at rex in warning. "Beez, teleoport me wherever it is she went," he stated and then he was gone

"See?"

--

Trini was beyond words and tears stung at her eyes. And she kissed him and it felt like the first time all of a sudden. Maybe admitting her feelings to him did that. "My heart is yours and it always has been," she murmured softly and kissed himm once more

Kim nodded, "Yea ... but remember Rexy .. women always fall for the hero ..."

She nudged him gently, "I don't see any woman blushing like that over you ..."

She was playing and she knew it'd get to him ...

--

Ryla had teleported home of course. The house was empty, stillm just like she felt. Ryla has been sitting o nthe couch, roughly brushing a few stray tears from her eyes as she fought away feelings, all too familiar feelings ... whe nTai appeared in her living room.

She sighed, and looked away, "What is it Tai ... I'm alreayd humiliated enojugh ..."

Stupid Rex ... blurting it out for everyone to hear .... she couldn'teven deny it, or blame the potion anymore ... she had actual felelings for Tai ...

--

Adam laughed and kissed her, seeing ehr tears, it brought tears to his eyes, "Kitten ... I feel like I haven't held you in the longest time ... god Trini ..."

He slid his hands over the curves of her form and kissed her gently, slowly, he wanted this moment to last.

Rex humphed. "Not everyone can have shady pasts with mysterious high school science teachers," he stated, giving as good as he got, knowing that'd cause a blush
--

"Can't just not talk to me," he said and sat down beside her. "And I'm sure he didn't mean to make you cry. Maybe I'll tell him. That'd actually shut him up," he said and reached out, wiping her cheek
--

Trini smiled and let her own hand trail slowly over hi, rememorizing him. "I know how you feel," she whispered and kissed him again and again

Kim indeed did blush and she slapped his arm, "I am so continuing beat up Rex day into the night ..."

--

Ryla laughed slightly, "I think I might like that ..."

She looked up as he touched her cheek, and reached for the hand, "Are things totally screwed up between us now Tai?"

She sighed, "First we were ... just ... not even freinds .. and then an auto relationship ... and then freidns ... now ... god what are we now ..."

She tried to stay coherant, nbut staring into his eyes made her feel all fuzzy inside.

--

Adma smiled, and raeched for her, grabbing her abckside gently, "i love when you feel me ..."

Almost instantly, he pulled er up bride style, and carried her to the bedroom, tossing her playfully to the bed. She crawled up ont othe bed, kissing up her body gently, "I love you Miss Kwan ... I bleieve i always will ..."
