[  TXT  ]  :  quick.  no  time  to  explain.  pick  one:  frogs  or  lasers.

[  TXT  ]  :  why  are  you  still  awake?

[  TXT  ]  :  what  would  you  do  if  i  texted  “i’m  outside”  and  actually  was?

[  TXT  ]  :  would  you  still  like  me  if  i  was  a  worm?  be  honest.

[  TXT  ]  :  i  dare  you  to  stop  thinking  about  me  for  one  minute.  bet  you  can’t.

[  TXT  ]  :  i  saw  something  shiny  and  dramatic  and  thought  of  you.

[  TXT  ]  :  wanna  make  bad  decisions  together  or  what?

[  TXT  ]  :  how  illegal  would  it  be  if  i  showed  up  with  a  raccoon  in  a  cowboy  hat?

[  TXT  ]  :  you  looked  hot  today  btw.  not  that  you  asked.

[  TXT  ]  :  do  you  want  the  good  news,  the  bad  news,  or  the  chaotic  news  first?

[  TXT  ]  :  okay,  so  hear  me  out. cereal  is  basically  cold  soup,  right?

[  TXT  ]  :  what’s  your  villain  origin  story?

[  TXT  ]  :  thinking  about  you.  thought  you  should  know.

[  TXT  ]  :  if  we  were  in  a  rom-com,  this  is  the  part  where  we’d  kiss  in  the  rain.  just  saying.

[  TXT  ]  :  what’s  your  toxic  trait  in  uno?

[  TXT  ]  :  if  i  say  something  reckless,  will  you  pretend  you  didn’t  hear  it?

[  TXT  ]  :  how  mad  would  you  be  if  i  said  “let’s  get  matching  tattoos”  and  meant  it?

[  TXT  ]  :  i  hope  something  good  happens  to  you  today.  like,  you  find  five  dollars.

[  TXT  ]  :  i  have  a  plan.  it’s  chaotic  and  underdeveloped.  you  in?

[  TXT  ]  :  you  make  my  brain  go  all  soft.  thanks  a  lot.

[  TXT  ]  :  which  one  of  us  would  survive  a  horror  movie?  and  who’d  die  in  the  dumbest  way?

[  TXT  ]  :  i  just  caused  a  scene  at  the  grocery  store.  be  ready  to  alibi  me.

[  TXT  ]  :  what’s  something  that  always  makes  you  smile?

[  TXT  ]  :  do  you  think  we’d  get  banned  from  a  museum  if  we  tried  hard  enough?

[  TXT  ]  :  i’m  bored.  flirt  with  me.

[  TXT  ]  :  tell  me  a  secret  you’ve  never  said  out  loud.

[  TXT  ]  :  if  you  were  here  right  now,  what  would  we  be  doing?

[  TXT  ]  :  be  honest.  did  you  think  about  me  today?

[  TXT  ]  :  if  i  told  you  i  missed  you,  would  you  say  it  back  or  leave  me  on  read?

[  TXT  ]  :  what’s  your  comfort  movie  and  do  you  wanna  watch  it  with  me?

[  TXT  ]  :  you’re  my  favorite  notification.  don’t  make  it  weird.

❛ ------ we worry about you guys too. the most we deal with is THE MOON. meanwhile , who knows how far you all go out. ❜ a tiny fit of silence again. the omega rangers ( the better rangers from what i've already seen. ) part of her still wants to be angry with them for the lie hung over the rest of their heads. even if the reasoning behind it was ... sound. and then there's the overwhelming part of her that's nigh always WORRIED about them. drowning out the anger with a single look at him battered and bruised again. ❛ ------ the new guys think they have something to prove. apparently , you guys left some pretty big shoes to fill. they just need more times , is all. ❜

❛ they'll get the hang of it*. ❜ ( *probably best not to bring up all the arguing going on lately then. ) his extra weight causes her to bounce slighly , though it doesn't phase her. THE SUDDEN GIRL TALK HOWEVER ? oh that gets a reaction. staring back the entire time slightly wide - eyed until that long pause ; hand now covering her mouth in some failed attempt to hide the obvious laugh. STILL MAD AT HER : BUT IM TELLING TRINI ABOUT THIS ONE. ❛ ------ oh no its priceless coming from you. cute and strong huh ? ❜ another long pause. another lie about to ----

a  laugh,  for  both  their  sakes,  but  mostly  hers  ;  he  didn't  come  here  to  upset  her.  he  wants  the  time  they  get  together  to  be  a  bright  spark  amongst  the  dark  backdrops  of  space  he  still  hasn't  gotten  used  to.  and  what  jason  wants,  jason  goes  for, with his hand thrown out to pat her shoulder, to rest there like his presence means something here still,  ❝  i  get  trini's  shoes,  but  ...  mine?  zack's?  ❞   he's  shaking  his  head,  dark  strands  falling  loosely  towards  his  eyes  (  haircut.  ask  trini.  not  xi.  duly  noted  —),  reassurance  spoken  with  the  cadence  of  a  leader  rolling  easily  off  his  tongue,  ❝  they'll  get  it,  kim. if not, call me; i'll have a pep talk prepared by then.  ❞ and he'll answer this time. he's  got  her  covered.  he's  got  them  all  covered  so  long  as  he  keeps  the  burden  all  for  himself,  if  he  places  the  weight  solely  on  his  shoulders  and  carries  it  with  a  chin  held  high,  pointed  towards  spirits  held  aloft.

let's dance.

whatever happens, we'll still be together.

you know i wouldn't have left you behind if...

would you look at us.

i have a feeling we'll be just fine.

freedom's an idea that'll never die.

you know we're going to have to fight.

it's nice to have another genuine force for good on our side.

there's darkness inside all of us. understanding it is what makes us human.

i feel a little uncomfortable with the way you're looking at me.

coming from you, that really says something.

i've been doing this a long time. no one's managed to extinguish me yet.

i have a feeling he would be proud.

glad to see you again, [name].

when it starts, follow my lead.

we're gonna need your sharpshooting.

lead the way.

i just help where i can.

i go where i'm needed, [name]. you know that.

you're the authority. let's do it.

i guess i'm about to find out if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

everyone is looking at me as if they know me. it's a strange feeling.

what if i don't live up to your expectations?

that's very kind of you to say.

want some free advice? just be you. that's more than enough.

just a heads up. things get weirder the farther in you go.

i'd still like to find a way to repay your kindness.

you'll do just fine. i've been there, too.

easy. i'm just giving you a hard time.

i was always meant to be a soldier.

i do the absolute best i can. every time.

if we don't stand up for what's right, who will?

never forget who you are fighting for.

this is war. we keep fighting until we can't anymore.

you think i'm too old for this?

i never stay down.

live to fight another day!

you can't be brave without being afraid first.

times change. people don't.

all right. if anyone needs me, i'll be in my iceberg.

that was a joke. i can joke too, you know.

run the tactics again. everything has to be watertight.

this world is pure darkness.

i'll never get used to these magical realms.

we're gonna do what we have to do.

i'm a soldier. this is war.

you're on the wrong side.

and stay down!

don't make me do this, [name].

justice always prevails.

your battle's over.

you can always count on me, partner.

you're never alone.

we're in this together.

we're all clear.

history won't be kind to you.

good try. but not nearly good enough.

justice is on my side.

that was a pleasant surprise.

try harder.

walk it off, kid.

don't know how you did that trick, but i'm impressed.

see, [name]? i knew you cared.

i still think you're too dangerous, [name].

ambush! they are behind us!

just in the nick of time.

i'm going after them!

i'm an easy target.

we're outnumbered!

this must be their base.

i need a medic.

i salute you.

what could you and i possibly have in common?

i'll do my best not to let you down.

i'm not eager to put another young life at risk on the battlefield.

i'm not doing it for recognition. i'm fighting because it's the right thing to do.

thanks, but i think i'll pass.

i have faith you won't let that happen.

we're at war. kidding is for later.

you heard me.

adjusting to a new world, no matter how familiar, is never easy. i would know.

i get the feeling we may not be as similar as you think.

you're the expert when it comes to space. i'll be following your lead.

real soldiers do the right thing. not the easy thing.
