Spring vacation

Ethan: It's about time you post this story!

Oh, stop complaining. If anything, you should be happy. I gave you a major break when I was thinking up this story.

Ethan: Oh, so now you're going overwork us! Great! Nice one!

Well, you jump from one extreme to the next! Will there be no end!

Ethan: (shrugs) No, not 'til you make me the hero of one of your stories.

Rrr! All you characters want is to be center stage! Can't you settle to be the best friend who always knows what to say and do?!

Ethan: (thinks for a second) No. (walks away)

Pain in my-

Kira: Should I do the disclaimer now?

Sure. Why not? It's not like my day could get any better.

Kira: Peaches849 doesn't own power rangers; although, I would give it to her in a heartbeat just to see her smile again.

Aww! That's so sweet, Kira!

Kira: Yeah… I'll get over it.

Remind me why you're my favorite again.

Kira: Because I'm awesome and kick male butt! (thrusts fist into air)

That's right! Could you do me a favor and kick Ethan's butt?

Kira: Sure! (walks away)

I knew there was a reason I liked her.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story takes place after Trent 'proves' himself to Connor, Ethan, Kira, and Dr.O.

Kira walked into the Cyberspace Café (CSC) to find the usual scene of Dr.O talking to Hayley at the counter, Trent busing tables, and Ethan and Connor sitting on the red couch; Ethan playing a computer game while Connor tossed a red ball back and forth in his hands.

'Dude! I'm as board as a 2 by 4. What else can you do other than play the computer?' Connor sounded like a 6 yr old who had just spent the morning sitting in church and bored out of his mind. Kira smiled at this analogy.

Ethan looked up from his computer to see Kira walking over to them. 'Ok, 'Dude,' Kira's here, so now Dr.O can tell us his big surprise.'

'Dr.O has a surprise for us?' Kira asked, sitting on the arm chair facing the couch.

Having heard Kira come in, Dr.O had gathered Hayley and Trent and headed over to the three original DT rangers. 'Yes, Kira, I do have a surprise.'

'Well… what is it?' Connor's patience was growing even thinner.

'Trent actually suggested the idea and since it is spring break, I decided to agree. Trent had a big log cabin up in the mountains just outside town and offered it so that we could have some relaxing time.' Dr.O explained.

'Wait… is it Trent's or Mercer's?' Connor asked with suspicion.

'It's mine,' Trent confirmed. 'My biological parents left it to me when they died.'

'Oh!' Connor silenced at that.

'Well, I think it's a great idea!' Kira sat back in her chair. 'Mesogog has been bashing us pretty hard lately and it would be nice to relax.'

'Speaking of which, what if Mesogog attacks while we're away?' Ethan asked. 'No offense,' he said to Trent, 'but if Mercer knows we're away, won't Mesogog take advantage of that?'

'None taken,' Trent assured him.

'Don't worry Ethan,' Dr.O said. 'It's just outside town. It's close enough that we can still be back in time to defend the city if something goes wrong.'

'But will we get back fast enough?' Kira worried.

'Of course,' Hayley stepped in. 'I'm taking a special laptop that is hooked up to the main computer in the lair and I can control the ranger equipment from the cabin. Because of my latest update to your cycles, I can get them to the cabin and have them take you to the attack site in two minutes flat.'

'Sweet!' Ethan said.

'Super speed is SO my style. Thanks Hayl,' Connor added.

'You're the best Hayley!' Kira got up and hugged the redhead. 'So, Dr.O, when do we leave?'

'Well, if you get permission from your parents, we can leave tomorrow.'

'My parents are going to visit Eric this week, so I'm good,' Connor said.

'My mom and dad are going on a cruise in the Bahamas. They won't mind.' Ethan added.

'Obviously, my dad doesn't mind,' Trent stated.

'What about you Kira?' Dr.O asked after her silence.

Kira's eyes suddenly focused really hard on the coffee table and a clouded expression crossed her face.

'Kira?' Hayley asked after a few seconds, touching her arm.

Kira came out of her trance in an instant. 'Yeah, I'm good. They won't tell me no.'

'Then we're good to leave tomorrow?' Dr.O asked.

'Yep!' With that, Kira headed for the door. 'Better go pack!' she called over her shoulder. Then, she was gone.

'What was that about?' Dr.O asked.

Hayley shrugged, confused by the girl in yellow's behavior.

'Who knows?' I mean, it is Kira,' Connor stated plainly.

'Stupid jock!' Ethan said, slapping him upside the head.

'Hey!'

I know it's not much, but I want to see if people are interested or if it would be a waste of time to put this on fanfiction. What do you guys think? Please review!
