her mental command, and she held the small box with both hands. After an inquisitive look at Zhane, she slowly opened the silver wrapping. Her lips stretched into a genuine smile, and she began to laugh.

"Marshmallows!" she said, trying to stop the laughter.

Zhane smiled at her. "Well, I'll take laughter over laser-fire any day."

They laughed together for a while, until the laughter died. They then looked at each other, both unsure what to say or do.

"I... I'm sorry I was late," Zhane said quietly, "but believe me when I say... I didn't mean to stand you up."

Astronema nodded, turning her gaze from Zhane's crystal eyes to the ground. "Yes, well... I guess I can understand why. Ecliptor informed me about... the attack."

They were quiet again for awhile. Astronema swallowed, and turned to face him again. "I'm sorry I fired at you." She couldn't help but think how strange it was to hear herself use the "S"

word.

Zhane smiled, and shrugged dismissively. "People have done worse when they get annoyed with me."

The awkward silence returned. Still both were starting to feel slightly more comfortable.

"It's a nice night," Zhane commented, glancing up at the moon, "Not to warm, not too cold. The moon's shining brightly."

"Yes," Astronema added, turning to face the moon as well. The pair stood side by side in the park, gazing at the night sky. "The moon is truly incredible. It reflects the light of the sun, to give the world some light at night."

"Even the darkest night has some light to it," Zhane suddenly said. Astronema blinked, surprised by the masked meaning behind the statement.

"I suppose," she conceded, "but even the brightest star can't shine forever. Eventually the darkness envelops it."

She felt Zhane's gaze on her cheek, but she chose not to return it. The last thing she wanted to do was get into an argument of good vs. evil with him. Not tonight.

"... of course, we aren't taking about the stars," she added, "We're talking about the moon."

"Of course," Zhane said, crossing his arms. "You know the other thing about the moon?"

"What?"

"Its magnetic pull. It attracts the tides, and there's nothing the water could do to stop it. It's a force of nature."

"Magnetic," she repeated, continuing from that reference, "opposites attract. The more different they are, the stronger the attraction."

"Can't be explained," Zhane said, turning to face her. He gently lifted her chin with the tips of his fingers, his eyes locking with hers. "Can't be fought."

Astronema almost felt dizzy. There she was, her face inches from Zhane's. Wasn't that what she wanted? Isn't that what she feared?

What would Ecliptor think of her kissing the Silver Ranger? What would Dark Spectre think?

Was she going soft?

As their lips inched closer and closer together, Astronema decided not to care. After all, what her allies didn't know wouldn't hurt them.

Perhaps she wasn't thinking clearly. Perhaps she was under a spell. Supposedly the Full Moon makes people do strange, inexplicable things. Even the mighty, unpredictable ocean gives way to the pull of the moon. The strongest Reason sometimes gives way to the torrent of Passion.

They'll both worry about the consequences later.
