Early morning twilight

**Discaimer** I don't own Power Rangers or any of the characters because I was like seven or eight when the show first started (not Lost Galaxy, the very, very first shows)

A/N: Power Rangers Lost Galaxy was one of my fav Fox Kids shows, I now watch Digimon, but I really liked this show. This is my first Lost Galaxy fic and it's about Leo and Kendrix after the last episode. It's kind of weird that I still watch kid's shows, but old habits die hard.

Early morning twilight

By: Silverhawk

Kendrix was sitting on the soft grass of the hill, gazing intently at the sill rising sun. Images from the past found their way into her mind. Earth, her home, her birthplace, and yet a place that is gradually being forgotten. All of her family was left behind on Earth and she missed them terribly.

She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Leo running nearby and was coming closer and closer to where she sat. He was going to scare her, but she was really deep in thought, so he didn't want to disturb her.

Although he decided not to scare her, Leo knelt down beside her, praying she wouldn't notice him. Leo began to stare at the same sunset only stopping to gaze longingly at Kendrix. ‘She's so beautiful, smart, and just...well, perfect.’ Leo said in his mind. ‘She would never love me, to her I'm probably just a stowaway.’

“It's so beautiful.” Kendrix whispered.

"Yeah, if you want to wake up this early just to see the sun rise.” Leo jokingly added.

Kendrix turned in shock to see Leo sitting right next to her, grinning like an idiot. She also smiled as she gave him a playful shove that sent him halfway down the hill. He smiled when he finally stopped and then he spit grass out of his mouth and started to laugh while he crawled back up the hill.

When he made it back to the top, he grinned devilishly and began to tickle Kendrix because she once told him that she was very ticklish. “Stop, hahahahahahaha, okay, haha, uncle!” Kendrix cried out while laughing as hard as she could.

Leo stopped tickling her and laid down on the ground, while also laughing as hard as he could. Kendrix stopped laughing as she couldn't help but think about the time her and Leo first met on Terra Venture.

He had ran into her just as she was carrying records of every person on the ship. She ended up dropping everything she held onto the ground. Kendrix then remembered looking into his eyes for the very first time, it was so... well, magical.

She was very upset when Kai had started talking and that totally ruined the moment. Back to reality, Kendrix looked over at Leo only to see him staring right back at her. “You know what's funny?” Kendrix asked.

“What?”

“You wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for me.” Kendrix replied.

“Oh yeah?” Leo questioned.

“Yeah, I covered for you back when we first met. Right after you ran away, a couple of guards came by asking if I saw you and I told them I didn't.”

Leo looked away as he thought about that. While he was thinking, Kendrix and Leo both unconsciously moved closer to each other. When he looked back at Kendrix, he found himself only mere inches away from her face.

Leo looked into Kendrix's eyes and found himself lost in them. They leaned forward and kissed, softly at first but then with all of the passion held inside each of them since they first met. Leo wrapped his arms around Kendrix, not ever wanting to part from this kiss.

Minutes passed and finally Kendrix and Leo parted from the kiss. They stared at each other in awe, not believing what just happened. Leo still held Kendrix in his arms until she looked at his arms and then back at him. Leo took the hint and reluctantly let go of her, blushing from the embarrassment.

“I, umm, didn't really want you to let go of me.” Kendrix mumbled softly while looking at the now very interesting grass. After Leo heard this, he hesitantly placed one of his arms around her shoulder and sat a little closer to her.

Kendrix then laid her head on top of Leo's shoulder and let herself relax with the man she has grown to love. She then looked up into the sky, expecting to still see the sun rise, but instead Kendrix saw the bright yellow sun hanging above them. Leo looked down at Kendrix, who was still leaning comfortably on his shoulder. “Kendrix?” Leo asked.

“Yeah.” Kendrix softly replied.

“I'm sorry I made you miss the sun rise. M-maybe we could, uh, watch the sun set, together?”

Kendrix took her head off of Leo's shoulder so she could look at him. She smiled and then gave her reply. “I'd love to.”

Leo smiled and stood up. He then offered his hand to help Kendrix up, like a gentleman. She also smiled as she took his hand, stood up, and began walking back to her apartment, her hand still being held by Leo's.

About an hour before the sun sets

“Hurry up, Kai! I don't want to be late!” Leo frantically said.

“Chill out man! If you had told me before, it wouldn't be a problem...” Kai began to complain.

Leo just rolled his eyes and turned around to look at Damon with his arm around Maya's shoulder, while they were sitting on the couch. They had been going out for about a month now and they were closer than ever.

“Ya know, it's about time you asked her out man.” Damon began. “Everyone knew you would, eventually.”

“Leo, shouldn't you be going now?” Maya asked. “The sun sets in a couple of minutes.”

“Oh crap! I'm going to be late!” Leo exclaimed. Leo then grabbed what food Kai had finished cooking, stuffed it all into a picnic basket, and ran out of the door. Damon and Kai both looked at Maya with a confused look on their faces.

“Maya, I thought the sun sets an hour from now.” Kai said.

“It does,” Maya explained. “But Leo's late for practically everything, so I figured I would help him be on time for once.” Kai, Damon, and Maya started laughing as they watched Leo, from the window, racing over to the park where he and Kendrix first watched the sun rise.

One hour later, on the hill

Kendrix walked up the hill as fast as she could, she couldn't wait to meet Leo. When she made it to the top, Kendrix stood in awe as she looked at the picnic Leo had set up. A large red and white checkered table cloth was laid upon a semi-flat portion of the hill.

Two candles were lit even though it wasn't quite dark yet, there were forks, spoons, and knives, in all of her time on Terra Venture, she has always eaten with sporks (sporks are those spoons with the little prongs at the top, you know, like forks? Spoon + fork = spork). He even had regular plates and not paper.

As special as that already was, the food itself was what really shocked her. There was ham, rolls, and other food so exquisite, that Kendrix didn't know what it all was. The food smelled so good and since she had only eaten a small lunch, she was very hungry.

But what really caught her attention was Leo himself. He was wearing the same red, button-down shirt that he was wearing the day they met, under that a tight, black, long-sleeved shirt and solid black jeans. “Glad you could join me.” Leo said as he motioned her to sit down.

“So Leo, which restaurant did you buy this meal from?” Kendrix asked, teasingly.

"I would never buy food and pretend I made it!” Leo said, pretending to be angry at the question.

“Okay, did Kai make it for you?”

“Maybe,” Leo replied, smiling.

Kendrix also smiled as she sat down next to Leo. While she was sitting down, Leo began to serve up the food. Kendrix picked up her fork and tried some of the food only to find out that it was cold. She looked at Leo, confused.

“Sorry about the food. Maya, Damon, and Kai tricked me into coming here an hour early.” Leo explained.

“That's okay.”

Kendrix and Leo quietly ate their meal. They ate in silence, just enjoying each other's company. They finished their meal fairly quickly and after they ate, Kendrix scooted closer to Leo and he wrapped his arm around her as she leaned her head upon his shoulder. The sun had already set and the stars were beginning to show themselves.

Kendrix gazed at the stars for what seemed like hours, until she fell asleep in Leo's warm embrace. Leo noticed Kendrix fell asleep, and he smiled. He then grabbed the picnic blanket and covered the two of them with it. He then laid down beside her and fell asleep while she was still wrapped in his arms.

Hours later, sunrise

Kendrix and Leo were lying on the hill, still asleep. Suddenly, Leo began to stir and he shielded his eyes from the sunlight as he slowly opened his eyes. Leo was about to get up when he realized that someone was lying down beside him.

He looked over and saw Kendrix right next to him, then he smiled and tried to lay back down without waking her up. Kendrix opened her eyes and looked up at Leo. “Good morning, beautiful.” Leo said, smiling.

“Good morning. What time is it?” Kendrix asked tiredly.

“I'd say it's almost 6:30.”

“How can you tell?” In reply, Leo just smiled and pointed at the sky. Kendrix looked up and saw the sun just beginning to rise up over the darkened land, just beginning to cover the land with a golden light. Kendrix snuggled into Leo's arms, not once turning away from the sun.

“Well, this is how it all began.” Leo whispered into Kendrix's ear. She looked up into his eyes and leaned forward and softly kissed him on the lips. The kiss was so soft and tender, it wasn't a kiss of lust or passion, it was a kiss only of love. At that moment, they realized they would be together forever.

The end
