Power Rangers Lost Galaxy by Heather Ray (books to read for 12 year olds TXT) 📕

Chapter Eight

Kendrix glanced up from her novel to the nearby door, reacting to the faint sound of footsteps just outside. She watched attentively as the footsteps grew louder, and then faded away.

She frowned slightly in annoyance, and turned back to her book.

Maya had left nearly two hours ago, and she still hadn't returned. Also, the Yellow Ranger mysteriously failed to give Kendrix any details about where she was going.

The sudden secretiveness unnerved the Pink Ranger.

So, her attention returned to the adventures of Captain Kirk and his trusted crew.

"...and then we can bring the others to the Core," came a faint voice. Kendrix's stare was immediately drawn to the door.

That was certainly Maya's voice.

"But first, how about breakfast at 0800? And maybe we can check up on Thunder and Hershey?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Kendrix's eyes widened in surprise at the accidentally overheard conversation. Apparently, the walls of the quarters weren't as thick as they ought to be.

She rose from her seat, and cautiously moved closer when the voices inexplicably vanished. She jumped as the door slid open, revealing Maya... and Damon?

"Kendrix!" Maya gasped, a bewildered smile on her face, "What are you doing up? Doesn't your shift start in five hours?"

Kendrix bit her lip with embarrassment. "I was just waiting for you," she admitted hesitantly.

Maya smiled. "Damon and I were fixing the Megazord."

A look of alarm shot across the Pink Ranger's face. "What was wrong with it?"

"Not the Galactabeasts," Damon corrected, stepping into the apartment, "The Astro Megazord. We figured out how to get the Megaship to Zord transform."

"Really? That's incredible!"

Maya and Damon shared a knowing smile that only heightened Kendrix's building curiosity.

"Well... good night, ladies," Damon said, dipping his head as he backpedaled out of the apartment.

"G'night," Maya called softly.

Once the door slid closed, Kendrix snapped her fingers, forcing Maya's lingering gaze in her direction.

"Okay, Maya," Kendrix practically commanded, "you've got a lot of filling in to do!"

The Yellow Ranger flashed a mysterious smile. "Good night, Kendrix."

Kendrix stared open-mouthed as Maya disappeared into the bathroom. "Oh no... you're not clamming up on me!" the Pink Ranger pleaded. "Maya!"

Chapter Nine

Damon hummed as he stepped into his apartment, dropping his tool belt on the kitchen counter. He paused when he saw both Kai and Leo sitting on the couch, watching him carefully.

"Hey, guys," he uttered cautiously, "what's up?"

"Not much," Leo answered, tilting his head, "What's up with you

?"

Damon stared at the knowing smile on Leo's face, and then noticed the undivided attention Kai was paying him. "Okay... what's going on here?" he sighed.

"How did the work on the Megaship turn out?" Kai asked innocently, "You've been gone for a while."

"Actually, I think we figured it out," Damon responded casually, pouring a glass of water from the faucet.

"We, huh?" Leo repeated with obvious interest, "So Maya was helpful after all?"

Damon stifled a chuckle, and then turned back to his friends. He remained silent as he took a long sip of the water.

"Yeah," he confessed after a long moment, "What can I say? She's amazing..."

Leo smirked, rising to his feet. "So... when's the wedding?"

Damon raised his eyebrow at the comment.

"Leo!" Kai growled, elbowing the Red Ranger.

An interested smirk appeared on Damon's lips as he finished off the water. "You guys didn't... oh I don't know... place a bet on me and Maya?"

Kai forced a laugh. "What gave you that idea?"

"But since you brought it up," Leo interjected, "What's going on with you and Maya?"

Damon smiled mysteriously, setting the empty glass in the sink. "Night, boys," he sighed, pulling off his work boots and tossing them into his closet.

"Oh, come on!" Leo pressed, rising to his feet, "You're not going to sleep now!"

"Actually, I am." His smirk returned. "I've got to get up early tomorrow. Breakfast date."

Leo opened his mouth to question further, but the meaning of the statement then dawned on him. He then cocked his head to the Blue Ranger, a triumphant smile spreading his lips.

"So, Kai," he said, slapping his hand on Kai's slouching shoulder, "What's for dinner tomorrow? And the day after? And the day after that...?!"

Kai sighed in defeat. "We're better off eating my cooking anyway."
