Problem with wearing a wedding dress

Normal POV

The next morning at dawn, Traci is at the pier. She sits on one of the benches playing "Happy" on her Vihuela. A few seconds later, she hears someone singing. She turns her head to the left to see Antonio walking up. He stops a few feet in front of her. She tries to keep her cool, listening to Antonio's angelic voice as she continues to play the song. Two minutes later, she puts her instrument down next to her.

"Antonio, you have an excellent singing voice," Traci says whispers.

"Thanks, but I bet you have a good voice, too," Antonio says, smiling.

"I do, but I don't like having anyone my age hear me sing," Traci says a bit louder.

"How come," Antonio asks.

"I don't want to talk about it," Traci says more confidently.

"Okay, do you mind if I sit next to you?" Antonio asks sweetly.

"Sure, there is plenty of room," Traci says, trying not to blush.

Antonio walks closer and sits down next to her. They are an arm's length apart from each other. Traci set her right hand down on the bench. Antonio looks down and smiles. He sets his left hand down as well. He looks back out towards the ocean.

"So, do you have any family members that like to fish?" Antonio asks.

"Yes, my uncle Jorge, he lives in Mexico," Traci says.

"That's cool," Antonio says.

"Yeah, I was two, and ½ my mom and I flew to Mexico," Traci says.

"What about your dad?" Antonio asks.

"He couldn't come with us because his boss needed him to stay home to help him work on an important project," Traci says.

"I'm sorry, so what happened while you and your mom were in Mexico?" Antonio asks.

"My uncle took me fishing for the first time," Traci says contentedly.

"Did your mom get it on video?" Antonio asks curiously.

"Yes, she did, but she has the video. She hasn't transferred it onto a DVD, so we can't watch it." Traci says.

"That's a bummer, so how about I buy you breakfast?" Antonio asks.

Traci didn't know what to say. She looks down at her hand to see Antonio's hand on top of hers. Her heart starts to flutter, and she tries her best to calm down. She couldn't and slowly looked up, and their eyes met.

"Antonio, could you move your hand, please?" Traci says quickly.

"I don't want to," Antonio says sweetly.

She looks up and sees his eyes sparkle when the first rays of the morning sun hit them. She starts giggling like a cheerleader and smiling like a fool.

"Is that a yes to breakfast, then?" Antonio asks.

Traci just nods since she has completely lost her ability to speak.

"Great, let's go," Antonio says.

Antonio takes his hand off Tracy's. They get up, and Traci puts her Vihuela back in the case. Then they head to the restaurant around the corner from them. After they ate, Traci took a deep breath and tried to speak again.

"Thanks for breakfast; I should head back to the house now," Traci says.

"Yeah, but do you think that we could meet up again. There is this great fishing spot in the forest." Antonio says.

"Sure, I would like that a lot. We'll be hanging out and doing some fishing, right." Traci says.

"Yeah," Antonio says.

"Cool, when will we be doing this, exactly?" Traci asks.

"How about later today, say around 4:30," Antonio says.

"Okay, so we're meeting here at 4:30, right?" Traci asks.

"Yes, and then we'll head off to that spot I mentioned," Antonio says.

"So, I'll see you later," Traci says.

"Yes, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you some more," Antonio says.

He takes hold of her right hand again. He kisses it. Traci's heart skips a beat, and she smiles again. She watches him walk away.

Traci walks to the kitchen after she puts her instrument back in her room. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the others are eating breakfast. Mike looks over towards the door to see Traci skipping into the room. She goes over to the bar to pour herself a cup of tea.

"Well, you're in a good mood this morning," Mike says.

"Yeah, so do you have a problem with that," Traci says.

"No, so where were you earlier?" Mike asks.

"I went to the pier," Traci says, smiling.

"You ran into Antonio again, didn't you?" Emily says, raising her eyebrow slyly.

"No," Traci says.

Emily watches Traci's cheek slowly, starting to turn red.

"If you didn't run into him, why are you blushing?" Mike asks.

"Fine, you caught me, he was there, but all we did was talk about fishing," Traci admits.

"You sure that nothing else happened," Mia asks.

Traci nods and starts to drink her tea. After breakfast, the group heads to the living room. They sit down and talk about the recent bride kidnapping.

"I can't believe someone would do this," Mia says.

"Yeah, my mom said that your wedding is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life," Traci adds.

"I think we should stage a fake wedding to lure the nighlok in," Jayden says.

"Sounds like a good idea, so who will be the bride," Traci says.

"I'll do it, Traci. I've already picked out a dress," Mia says

~ A Dyslexic Ranger~

Mia and Jayden are standing at the altar at a wedding chapel as the organ plays the last note of the wedding march while the others sit in the pews. Traci is sitting next to Emily. She is wearing a silver dress.

"Wow, Mia looks stunning," Emily says.

"Yeah, she is better suited to be a bride, unlike me," Traci says.

"Traci, don't say that you are pretty too. Besides, I thought you didn't want to be the bride." Mike says.

"Mike, you just assume that. You should have asked all the girls who wanted to be the bride." Traci says.

The Moogers head towards a chapel. They are successful in their attempt to capture a bride. Back with the ranger, at their fake wedding, Mentor Ji gets a phone call about the captured bride.

~A Dyslexic Range~

At the Shiba House, the Rangers plan their next move.

"How come our fake wedding didn't work?" Mike asks.

"Maybe because our wedding didn't have any guests," Traci says.

"True, we should have planned it out a little bit more," Jayden says.

Ji shows them the list of the remaining weddings.

"Why are there so many weddings?" Mike asks.

"Well, Mike, summer is the peak of wedding season," Traci says.

The Moogers deliver the bride to Dayu's secret lair. Back at the Shiba House, the Rangers learn that only one wedding is left on their list.

"Jayden, you warned people about the kidnappings, right?" Traci asks.

"Yes, now we know which wedding the nighlok will hit," Jayden says.

"Okay, so who will be the bride this time?" Traci asks.

"Traci, why don't you be the bride this time," Emily suggests.

"Mia, is that okay with you? I know how badly you want to wear that dress again." Traci says.

"It's okay with me. I believe that every girl should have the chance to feel beautiful and wear a wedding dress." Mia says.

"Thanks, Mia, but maybe you should be the backup just in case the nighlok figures out we tricked them," Traci says.

"Good idea, so what dress are you going to wear," Mia says.

"Thanks. Have you seen Taylor Swift's Love Story music video?" Traci asks.

"Yes, that dress is so beautiful," Emily says.

"Traci, how come at the wedding you didn't think that you weren't pretty enough to wear a wedding dress?" Kevin asks.

"The truth is, in high school, it was like all the girls told me I wasn't pretty. They also said that the only guy who would date me would have to be blind or just desperate." Traci says.

"Traci, the girls said that because they were jealous," Ji says.

"I don't see why they would be jealous of me. Those girls could, at least, get a boy to ask them out without having one of their friends daring them to." Traci says.

"Wait, you're saying your first date wasn't real?" Mia asks in disbelief.

"Yes, I didn't find out until I went to school the next day. I overheard them talking at lunch." Traci says, "They also said they knew what my calling was – being the world's charity case."

Traci felt a lump start to form in her throat because she was trying her best not to cry. She clenches her fists as well. Ji walks over to her. He can see the tears starting to build up in her eyes.

"Traci, you know holding back your tears when you feel like crying isn't healthy," Ji says.

"I know. Did I do something wrong to make those kids do what they did?"Traci says tearfully.

Ji sees a few tears start to escape from Traci's eyes. He doesn't say another word. He puts his arms around Traci and pulls her closer to him. Traci tries to break free from her mentor's hug. Instead, she sets her head on his chest, and the tears start to stream down her face. Emily and Mia walk over to her. They place a hand on either of her shoulders.

"Traci, you didn't do anything wrong. The people who were mean to you were the ones who thought it was okay to act the way they did." Mia says.

Traci slowly lifts her head. She looks over at Mia. The pink ranger uses the back of her free hand to wipe a few of the tears away.

"Do you mean that?" Traci asks.

Mia nods. Traci cracks a small smile. Then she looks back up at her mentor.

"Ji, I'm sorry about turning your kimono into a tissue," Traci says.

"It's okay, and if you ever feel like talking about anything, my door is always open," Ji says.

"Thank you, Mentor," Traci says.

At Dayu's lair, Dayu demands the Moogers get more brides. Mia and the Rangers arrive at the wedding chapel to warn the bride and groom. Traci and Jayden walk down the aisle; the silver ranger is nervous.

"Are you sure that the Moogers are going to show up?" Traci asks.

"Yes, they will just remember the plan," Jayden says.

"You got it, boss," Traci says.

A few seconds later, the moogers crash the wedding and attack the bride. Traci nods to Jayden, so he lets her get captured. The Moogers capture Traci.

At Dayu's Lair, the moogers toss Traci down towards the floor. Traci tries her best not to have a flashback about her father getting ready to punch her or use some other part of his body or his belt to hit her. Dayu gets down and places her hands on her Vail. Traci recognizes Dayu, who also recognizes her. She quickly flips it up and sees pure fear in the silver ranger's eyes. The nighlok's human side could sense that something was wrong. Traci backed away quickly and took out her morpher to defend herself. She is so scared that the morpher slips out of her hand and falls to the floor.

"Moogers, go and bring back the real bride." Dayu orders.

Traci picks up her morpher. She looks up to see Dayu starting to come closer to her.

"Stay away, or I'll turn you into an ice sculpture," Traci says.

"Relax, silver ranger; I won't make you send the other Rangers into a trap – yet. I just want to talk to you." Dayu says.

"Why would I tell you anything? Are you a nighlok? You would probably just repeat everything I say to Master Xandred so he could use it against me." Traci says.

"I feel that anything you might tell me isn't going to be able to help him in any way. One more thing, Ranger, I'm not a true nighlok. I have a human side too." Dayu says.

"Let me guess, your human side picked up on my terrible childhood," Traci says.

"Yes, and you've had your self-esteem, and your confidence has broken down so much because of that person who abused you that you've trapped yourself in a deep hole. All you want is for someone to throw you something to help to get out, but you're not sure if the other Rangers will be that someone am I right?" Dayu says.

"Yes, but it's not like you can figure out who abused me," Traci says confidently.

"Your dad," Dayu says.

"How did you know," Traci says in shock.

"Just a lucky guess," Dayu says.

"Yes, my dad was abusive. In his eyes, I was a disgrace and didn't deserve to have his last name. He even told me he wouldn't care if I got lost, kidnapped, or hurt so badly that I died." Traci says, wobbly.

"That's terrible, and it explains why you put up so many walls around your heart. You don't want to get hurt again." Dayu says.

"Yes, I wanted to apologize for my lack of self-confidence in certain situations. I found it hard to believe in myself when the one person who was supposed to be to be my first positive male role model in my life didn't believe in me. Not to mention I felt I matured faster than other girls. " Traci says.

"Have you told the other rangers about this?" Dayu asks.

Traci shakes her head no. Dayu wants to get more information out of her. Then her nighlok side takes control again. She snatches Traci morpher out of her hand. The Moogers deliver the real bride. Dayu orders Traci to send the Rangers to a warehouse full of explosives. She calls Jayden and tells him she is okay and to go to the warehouse. The Rangers race to the location. As the Rangers enter the warehouse, the doors close behind down. The warehouse explodes.

Back with Traci and Dayu, she boasts about her success. Then she walks over to her wedding dress made from the tears of the kidnapped brides.

"I hate to admit it, but that dress is beautiful," Traci says, thinking out loud.

The Rangers enter the scene. Mia slices her way out and reveals their plan. The brides escape the temple. The Rangers morph into action. Dayu and the Moogers leave the temple. The Rangers face off against the swarm of Moogers. Dayu makes her appearance against the Silver and Pink Rangers. The two Rangers fight against the powerful adversary. Jayden decides to fight Dayu one on one. After he can push her back far enough so the girls can combine their Spin Sword attacks to weaken Dayu, Deker enters the scene. He tells Jayden that he will fight him one day and escape with Dayu. Before he leaves, Deker summons some Giant Moogers to deal with the team. The Rangers form the Samurai Ice Storm Megazord after Traci uses her Leopard Zord's special attack to turn the moogers into ice sculptures. Then the team activates the ice storm Megazord's final strike to finish them off.

The Rangers are walking to the bakery. Traci is wearing a cream-colored t-shirt, a pair of boyfriend jeans, and a pair of black lace-up tennis shoes. Mike compliments Emily on how pretty she is in her wedding dress. Traci wonders why Dayu wanted her wedding dress so badly. Jayden ponders about the warrior that protected Dayu.


The Rangers head inside the bakery and bump into Antonio.

"Hey, I didn't think I would see you here," Traci says.

"Yeah, I have a big sweet tooth, and their Double Feature Cupcakes with Mexican Hot Chocolate Frosting are amazing," Antonio says.

"I know which one I want," Traci says.

"So, Antonio, are you ever going to visit us at the Shiba house?" Jayden asks.

"Soon, mi hermano, I promise," Antonio says.

"Okay, I can't wait. I'm looking forward to getting the chance to catch up." Jayden says.

"Me too, Traci. We are still meeting at the pier at 4:30," Antonio says.

"Yes," Traci says.

"Wait, since when are you two a couple?" Mike asks.

"It's not a date. He just offered to show me a nice fishing spot." Traci says.

"Since when do you like to fish?" Mike asks.

"Since my uncle, Jorge took me fishing when I was 2 and ½. Antonio, I have a better idea. How about all of us hang out for a bit." Traci says.

"Sure, I'd like that," Antonio says.

Antonio walks over to Traci. He takes hold of her hand and leads her into the bakery. The others watch Traci's cheeks start to turn red. They follow them inside. Everyone picked out a cupcake and paid for it. They head back outside and find a place to sit down. Traci sits at a table and waits for the others to sit. They get another table and take their seats. Antonio walks over to Traci's table. He sees that Traci cut her cupcake in half.

"Hey, beautiful, why did you just cut it in half?" Antonio asks.

"I wanted to save some for later," Traci says.

=A Dyslexic Ranger=

Two girls, Tammy, and Sally, walk up to the table a few seconds later. Tammy is holding a cupcake with a jalapeño as a topper in her right hand. Sally is holding a cherry cupcake in her right hand.

"Hey, Tammy, I think her shirt could use more color. Don't you think?" Sally asks.

"Yes, and she needs to lose these nerdy glasses, too," Tammy says.

Sally smashes her cupcake onto Traci's shirt. Then she pushes Traci out of her chair. Traci gets up and sees that Tammy has taken the jalapeño off her cupcake. She walked up to Traci, ripped the glasses off of Traci's face, and squeezed it. Traci screams as her eyes start to burn because of the capsaicin in the pepper juice. Antonio gets out of his chair. He takes Traci's glasses back from Tammy. The others jog up to them.

"What happened," Jayden asks.

"I need some help. Traci has jalapeño juice in her eyes after she squeezes it in Traci's face," Antonio explains as she points toward Tammy.

"Why did you do that?" Kevin asks.

"That girl is ugly and a dork. She shouldn't be hanging out with a guy as cute as him," Tammy says.

"Listen, whoever you are, stop talking about Traci like that. She isn't a dork or ugly. She is smart and prettier than you." Antonio says.

"I'm Tammy. You're only friends with her because you feel sorry for her." Tammy says.

"Listen, Tammy. We are friends with Traci because we've got a chance to know her." Jayden says.

"Plus, she doesn't deserve to have friends," Tammy says.

"Yes, she does. Everyone deserves to have friends. Honestly, Tammy, I don't know how you've made any friends since you treat others with such disrespect." Jayden says.

"Whatever, let's go, Sally," Tammy says.

Tammy picks Traci up and is about to punch her in the stomach. Kevin stops her by grabbing her fist. She drops Traci and uses her free hand to hit Kevin. Traci heard the punch land. She backs up to get to her feet. A few seconds later, Tammy walks away with Sally. Each has an enormous smile on their face and is laughing proudly. Traci tries not to starch her eyes even though she wants to. She stumbles over to the group. Antonio catches her in his arms. He helps Traci to her feet.

"Traci, we need to get that juice out of your eyes," Antonio says.

"I know it stings. Kevin, are you okay?" Traci says.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Kevin says.

"Mike, go back inside the bakery to get some whole milk," Antonio says.

"How come," Mike asks.

"I'll explain after we help Traci," Antonio says.

Mike runs back into the bakery. He explains what happened outside. One of the workers, Sammy, runs into the back room and comes back with an eye wash bottle filled with whole milk. She hands the bottle to him.

"Thank you," Mike says.

Mike runs back out to the others. Antonio tells Traci to tilt her head back. She nods and slowly tilts her head back. Mike opened the bottle and squeezed it until enough milk was in her eye. He repeats the process with the other eyes. Traci felt instant relief when the milk hits her eyes. Ten minutes later, she tilted her head, so it was upright again. Antonio picks up a napkin off the table and dries the milk from Traci's eyes. Traci blinks a few times, and he hands her glasses back to her. She puts them back on.

"Thanks, Mike," Traci says.

"You're welcome. I should go back inside and give this back." Mike says as he heads back to the bakery.

"Antonio, Jayden, I wanted to thank you for sticking up for me like that. I appreciate it," Traci says.

"You're welcome, bontia," Antonio says as he puts his arm around Traci's shoulders.

Mia looks at her shirt and sees a line of red icing on her shirt.

"Traci, what happened to your shirt?" Mia asks.

"The other girl smashed her cupcake on my shirt, ruining it," Traci says.

"Traci, why don't you go home and change? I promise when you return from hanging out with Antonio, it will look new again," Mia says.

"Thanks, Mia," Traci says.

"You're welcome," Mia says.

Traci looks down and sees Antonio's arm on her shoulder. She didn't understand why she was okay with it. Then she looks to her left, and her eyes meet Antonio's again.

"I guess I'll see in a bit at the pier," Antonio says.

"Yeah," Traci says.

Antonio leans in and kisses her on the cheek. Then he takes his arm off her shoulder and says goodbye to Jayden and the others before walking away. They notice that Traci is standing like a deer caught in the headlights and is smiling like a fool.

"Traci, are you okay?" Emily asks.

"Yeah, but I just want to ensure I wasn't dreaming. Did Antonio just kiss me?" Traci asks.

Emily nods. Traci placed her hand on her cheek, where Antonio kissed her.

"What does it mean when a boy does that?" Traci asks.

"Antonio likes you," Emily says.

"Wow, you think so?" Traci asks.

"Yup," Mia says.

"Traci, you like Antonio, don't you?" Jayden asks.

"Yes, I do, but you have to promise me if we run into him again, you won't say a word to him about it. Plus, after what happened in high school, I never thought anyone would make me feel like I do when Antonio is around." Traci says.

"Traci, we won't say a word. How do you feel when he is around?" Mia asks.

"I keep getting butterflies in my stomach, and sometimes I forget how to talk," Traci says.

"Traci, you need to tell him how you feel," Jayden says.

"I will soon; I want to get to know him a little before I do, though. I need to get going. It would be rude if I arrived late to meet Antonio at the pier." Traci says.

Traci goes back to the house. She walks to her room to pick out a clean shirt. She takes a few shirts out of her drawer and lays them on the bed. One is blue and has a picture of a cat sitting next to a fish bowl wearing scuba gear, the next one is black and says "I'm not short, I'm fun size," the third shirt is pink and says "How are you still single?", The last shirt is a navy/white Dotted Tulip-Sleeve Blouse. She thinks about which shirt she should wear for a few minutes. She decided to go with the Scuba Kitty shirt. She puts the other shirts away after she changes into the scuba kitty shirt. She leaves the cupcake-stained shirt on her desk before heading to the pier.

=A Dyslexic Ranger=

She arrives at the pier ten minutes early. She walks over to the same bench she sat on earlier to wait for Antonio. She thought about how she would tell Antonio that she liked him. After thinking about it for a few minutes, she gets up and walks over to the railing to look out at the ocean and is about to practice what she was going to Antonio by telling it to the ocean. Then she hears Antonio walking up, pulling his cart. She turns to her left and sees the Octozord coming over to her. It lands on her shoulder.

"Hello, I guess you like me too," Traci says.

The Octozord chatters a few times before Traci's Leopard zord crawls out of her pocket. It walks up her arm and growls at the Octozord. It floats quickly, and the leopard bats at the Octozord's tentacles. Then it leaps off her shoulder and chases her around the pier. Traci turns around and is glad that no one is here right now to see their zords. The Octozord tries to go back over to Antonio after making a quick turn. The leopard zord does a backflip. It flips so high that it lands on top of the Octozord and pins it down against the dock. Traci and Antonio run over to the zords.

"Sorry Antonio, I hope that the Octozord didn't get damaged," Traci says, picking up her zord and putting it back in her pocket.

"Don't worry, Traci, your zord is a cat, so it was just doing what cats do," Antonio says as he sees his zord quickly float back up into the sky.

The Octozord flies over to the cart. They walk over to it too. Antonio opens the lid; the zord goes inside, and he closes the lid. Traci notices that there is only one fishing pole.

"How come there is only one pole," Traci says.

"I thought we could share since my other pole broke yesterday when I tried to catch a huge fish," Antonio explains.

"Sounds like fun. Let's hope that we don't catch another big fish, and then you won't be able to fish again," Traci says.

Ten minutes later, they arrive at the fishing spot. Antonio puts the cart next to a tree. He hands the pole to Traci after he puts some bait on it. They walk over to the stream.

"Do you know how to cast it?" Antonio asks.

"Yup," Traci says.

Antonio watches Traci pull the rod back, so the tip sweeps over her dominant shoulder, then brings it forward swiftly, pointing the rod tip at her target. When it comes forward over her shoulder, she lets her thumb off the spool so the lure can pull the line off the reel. Then she put her thumb back down on the spool when the lure splashes into the water.

"Nicely done," Antonio says.

"Thanks," Traci says.

Antonio walks over to her. He gets behind her and places his hands on top of hers. Traci tries to keep her cool as the butterflies in her stomach go crazy. She starts humming a song that her Aunt Adrienne taught her to help her relax if she is ever nervous before a performance. After she stopped humming the song, she calmed down enough to talk again.

"Antonio, what else do you like to do besides fishing?" Traci asks.

"Playing my guitar, fixing broken computers and other pieces of tech. What about you?" Antonio says.

"Other than playing my Vihuela, I also like to draw and paint. If you don't mind me asking, what was your father like?" Traci says.

"My dad, he was great. He taught me how to fish and always encouraged me to try new things." Antonio says.

"Did he tell you that he was proud of you and that he loved you?" Traci asks as her bottom lip starts to tremble.

"Yes, all the time," Antonio says.

Antonio looked down to see Traci's upper eyelids droop and suddenly didn't want to fish anymore. He also sees the corner of her lips pull down slightly. Then she takes her hands off the rod slowly. Antonio puts his hands on it after Traci's hands are at her sides. He decides to reel in the line so they won't get hurt if a fish bites.

"Why are you doing that? I thought we were going to do some fishing?" Traci asks as she hears him reeling in the line.

"You looked so sad all of a sudden, and I didn't want us to get hurt if we got a bite," Antonio says.

Antonio walks back over to the cart and puts the rod away. Traci follows him and stands a few steps away from him.

"I'm sorry, Antonio. I know you wanted to get to know me while doing a little fishing." Traci apologizes.

"It's okay, and I'm not mad," Antonio says.

"You're not," Traci says.

Antonio turns to his left. He steps closer and places his hand on her shoulder.

"Traci, I feel that your father acted differently than my dad," Antonio says.

"Yes, my dad said I was a disgrace and didn't deserve his last name," Traci says.

Antonio sees a few tears roll down her cheeks. The next thing he knew, Traci stepped closer and set her head on his chest. He took his hand off her shoulder. Then he wraps his arms around her and hugs her. Antonio wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. His heart was breaking just hearing her cry. He was mad, also thinking about how her father could live with himself after how badly he treated Traci. Three minutes later, Traci stops crying and looks up at him.

"I'm sorry about turning into a crybaby," Traci says.

"It's okay, Traci. Your father shouldn't have treated you like that. A good father loves their child unconditionally no matter what gender that child is," Antonio says.

Antonio let Traci go. She takes a few steps back before taking off her glasses. Antonio unties the scarf around his neck. He walks up to her again. He gently dabs away the stray tears from Traci's eyes before tying them around her neck.

"Why did you just do tie your scarf around my neck?" Traci asks.

"I wanted to give you a memento of me until we meet again," Antonio says.

"Thank you, but don't you need it," Traci says.

"Not really. I have more at home. Plus, it looks much better on you. It makes your pretty blue eyes pop even more." Antonio says.

"Thanks; so when are we going to hang out again?" Traci asks.

"How about I call you tomorrow, and we can plan it together?" Antonio says.

"Okay," Traci says, trying not to giggle like a schoolgirl.

They give the other their morpher to put their number on it. After they hand their morpher back, the two sit down under the tree. Traci sets her head on his shoulder. Antonio looks down at her.

"Do you want me to move?." Traci says.

"No, it's okay," Antonio says.

Antonio looks back up out towards the stream. He puts his arm around her again. They sit under the tree for a few minutes, watching a few fish leaping out of the water. They didn't know Dayu was watching them through a gap. She could tell that Traci was happy seeing the huge smile on her face and picking up on the other non-verbal signs she was giving off. Ten minutes later, they said goodbye and went their separate ways.
