Disclaimer: I do not own the power rangers, or anything to do with them. However I own the plot and a few other characters: Laura St. John, Trent St. John, Bailey, Sam, Charlie, Chloe, and Judy Hart. I love and enjoy all the feedback and hope you all enjoy this if so then I'll continue. I have no beta so all mistaks are mine and mine alone.
Jason
Life was going great so far for all of us so far. I talked to Zack and Trini and they are staying to finish out their senior year at the peace conference. Even the rangers were doing better than a few weeks ago. They had lost their powers and had to go in search of the Zeo powers. Of course Aisha had chosen to stay in Africa and she sent her cousin back instead. Tanya is a great girl and she was a great addition to the team. Then there are the guys Adam, and Rocky were all working at the beach for the summer. There were only five Zeo crystals and of course Billy gave up his powers and came to the command center to help Alpha. Then there was Tommy and Kat. The two of them were going strong. Tommy had finally completely gotten over what Kim did. Kim was back in Florida finishing up her training. We were all going to travel down to Florida to see Kim compete. Then there is Laura and I we are going strong. Both of us are getting ready to start our senior year. I was so happy to be home and with friends, family and Laura. I was getting ready to start my class at the youth center when Laura walked in.
"Hey Darlin what's up?" I asked
"I have good news and great news." Laura said
"Ok I am listing." I said
"Well the good news is Ernie needed help so I am going to start working here. So I'll get to see more of you." Laura said with a smile as I pulled her into my arms.
"Um sounds great." I said "So what is the great news."
"Mom and Dad are having a baby. She's three months." Laura said
"Oh my god that's great news they tell Kim yet?" I asked
"No. They're going to surprise her with the news when we go down next week." Laura said
"I know I can't wait I am so excited to see Kim do what she does best. How is she holding up?" I asked
"Better. She's over the whole Tommy thing. I think she'll be fine as soon as she finds someone new." Laura said as one of the kids in my class walked up to us.
"Sensei we're all ready." The kid said
"Ok. I'll see you after I am done." I said
"Can't wait I'll be waiting." Laura said kissing my cheek as I walked back to my class.
"Sensei what will be learning today?" she asked
"Well today we will go over everything we have learned. Cause next week you will be taking your belt test." I said
"But you're not going to be here." He said
"No I am not but I have someone filling in for me. You all remember Tommy." I said as they all said yes. "Well he will be here." I then went over everything that they needed to know for their test. I then had them do some more of their moves to make sure they knew them. I wanted them all to pass so I really pushed them to make sure they knew their moves. After about an hour of class they knew the moves the best they could.
"Ok class dismissed." I said as they all grabbed their stuff and headed off to their parents. I walked to the locker room and changed into my jeans and tee shirt. I walked up to the bar and found Ernie who was looking over the books.
"Hey Jason what can I do for ya?" Ernie asked
"Um a water please." I said I turned to look out to see the rest of the youth center. That's when I see Tommy running toward me.
"Hey bro…we need you." Tommy said
"What's up?" I asked
"The gold ranger is injured and we need someone to take his powers till he's better. Billy tried but they rejected him. You are our only hope." Tommy said
"I'm in." I said "Let's go."
"We don't have enough energy to teleport us in. All the energy is keeping the gold power safe." Tommy said
"Ok I'm game." I said as I followed him out and we started on a trip. He wouldn't tell me where we were going. But after a while I realized that we were heading to Command Center. We were close to the command center when we started to get fired upon. They had told me about the new evil The Machine Empire. It was no doubt that, that was who was firing upon us.
"Billy now." Tommy yelled as we were teleported into the command center. It's been a good while since I was here and it was all different and new. "Look who's back."
"Jason." Billy said
"Hey guys." I said
"Jason it is good to have you back. This it Tray from Triforia." Zordon said
"Hello Jason. Let's do this before it's too late." Tray said as he held up the gold staff.
"Jason take a hold of the staff and let the transfer begin." Zordon said as I did as he asked. I was soon feeling the power of the gold ranger flow through me. It was nothing like I had felt before. It was amazing to have that feeling again.
"It has worked I am grateful that you are willing to do this. I will try to get back to one." Tray said as he was gone in a flash and the alarm sounded.
"Great just in time." Kat said
"Jase you ready." Adam asked
"You bet." I said
"It's morphin time." Tommy said
"Zeo Ranger 1 Pink." Kat said
"Zeo Ranger 2 Yellow." Tanya said
"Zeo Ranger 3 Blue." Rocky said
"Zeo Ranger 4 Green." Adam said
"Zeo Ranger 5 Red." Tommy said
"Gold Ranger Power." I said as we were now standing in downtown Angel Grove. There was the new monster a more powerful monster then I was use to. But I knew that together we all could get through. We all fought the Cogs and the monster all at once. Together we powered our way through. It wasn't long till a short little machine popped up.
"Prince Sprocket what do you want." Tommy said
"I see you have harvest the gold powers. None the less you will still have to pay. Till we meet again." Prince Sprocket said as they disappeared. We all went back to the command center.
"Jason how do you feel after the battle?" Alpha asked
"I feel great." I said
"How does it feel to be back?" Billy asked
"Great." I said
"Laura's going to flip when she hears?" Kat said
"Who?" Tanya asked
"Jason's fiancé." Rocky said
"She knows?" Tanya asked
"Yeah she's been one of us on many occasions." Tommy said
"Oh god speaking of which I am so late. I have to go later." I said as I teleported out of the command center and into the park. I ran home and hoped that I wasn't too late. I walked in to the house and found Sam and Bailey.
"Jason what are you doing. You are over an hour late. Laura has been worried." Sam said
"She called and canceled your reservations." Bailey said
"Oh god. Where is she?" I asked
"Up in your room. Charlie has Chloe at girl scouts. And Sam and I are out." Bailey said
"She that mad?" I asked
"Oh yeah." Sam said as I headed up to my room. I opened the door and she was sitting on my bed with a hurt look on her face. It made me feel even worse knowing I hurt her.
Laura
I was sitting on Jason's bed waiting on him to get home. He was late to my house and I waited and waited. I finally had to call and cancel our reservations. Tonight had been a special night it was the exact date two years ago that Jason and I meant. Sort of our anniversary and I had it planned for weeks. What made it worse was he never called to tell me he was running late just never showed. I was hurt more than anything. I heard the front door and then the footsteps up the stairs and stop outside of the door. I watched as the door opened and he stood there looking at me. I turned my head and looked out the window. He walked over and sat on the bed next to me and put his hand over mine. I took my hand and got up and walked to the window.
"Why." I asked
"Darlin I am so sorry." Jason said
"Sorry. What could have been more important that you couldn't call me." I asked
"Tommy and the guys they needed me…" Jason started as I cut him off.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I turned to look at him.
"Laura they were losing the gold ranger powers and they tried to give them to Billy but his body refused them. They had a limited time. I had to help them." Jason said as it happened my heart was beating faster. I had to go through this when we first started to date worried about him. Now he was a Power Ranger again.
"I see." I said as I didn't know what to do I wanted to be mad at him but then again how could I.
"Laura please just listen to me. It all happened so fast Tommy and I had to get to the command center we had to run. They started to fire on us we barely made it. Once there we had to hurry the gold ranger powers were fading fast." Jason said
"I'm sorry. I was just so worried about you. And hurt because I thought for the first time in our relationship you stood me up." I cried as he took me into his arms and held me tight.
"Darlin`, I would, nor could I ever stand you up. You mean everything to me. Please understand I had to do it. It's just not in me to leave my friends behind." Jason said
"I know you wouldn't. You mean everything to me too. And I do understand. Doesn't mean I still can't worry." I said
"I wouldn't expect any less. I love you." Jason said
"I love you too. Jase I…" I stopped I couldn't ask him. I was going to give myself to him but then everything happened.
"Laura what is it?" Jason asked
"Nothing, it's nothing. Can I just stay here with you tonight?" I asked
"Of course you can. Want to watch a movie?" Jason asked
"Sure you get the movie and get ready and I'll go get the popcorn and drinks." I said as I headed down the steps and found Charlie and Chloe walking in.
"Hey you thought you and Jason were going out?" Charlie asked
"Um something came up so were staying in. We're going to watch a movie and relax." I said
"Guess what Laura?" Chloe asked
"What?" I asked as I put the popcorn in the microwave.
"I get to go on a camping trip. In two weeks." Chloe said
"That sounds cool." I said
"I wanted to ask you if you would go with me?" Chloe asked
"It's was a mother daughter camping trip and well she wanted you to go with her. I told her she had to ask you." Charlie said
"I would be honored to go with you." I said as the popcorn was done and I grabbed a bowl.
"Thank you Laura." Chloe said
"Ok kiddo go get ready for bed." Charlie said "And say good night to your brother."
"Ok." Chloe said
"Hey sweetie knock first he's changing." I said as she took off. Charlie then got ready and headed to his room as I got everything and headed back up to Jason's room. Charlie had moved his room to the finished basement after their parents died and gave his old room to Sam. And they all agreed due to Jason and I spending quit a few nights together he moved into his parent's room. While Bailey then got his and Jason's room to him self. Now they all had their own rooms. I opened the door to find him lying on the bed in his pajama pants and a tank. I was wearing a pair of his shorts and a tank. I handed him his drink and the popcorn as I got on the bed. He turned the lights out and we started to movie. We enjoyed doing this most night just cuddling up and watching a move or just listing to music. As the movie came to an end Jason took all our stuff down to the kitchen and I went to the bathroom. Once he came back to the bedroom we crawled into bed he pulled me close to him. He kissed my lips lightly as my hands went to the back of his neck I deepened the kiss. This wasn't the first time we shared a bed but the first time that I wanted something more to happen. I pulled back and looked at him as his hand came to my face.
"Laura I…" Jason stopped
"Me too." I said
"Are you sure?" Jason asked as all I could do was nod my head yes. He then leaned in and kiss my lips again. My hands went to his shirt as I pulled it off. It wasn't the first time I seen him bare chested all I could do was run my hands up and down. I was nervous and excited at the same time. His hands went to my shirt as he lifted it up over my head. He kissed down my neck to my shoulder blade as his hands were roaming over my body. I pulled him as close to me as I could get him I could fell all of him. In a matter of minutes we were both naked and he took his time as he slowly yet passionately made love to me. We made love twice before we got tired and settled for bed. He did get up and lock the door so no one barged in, in the morning. Once back in bed we cuddled yet again and fell into a deep sleep.
