Okay, the summary sucks. I wrote this years ago, and decided I was tired of it sitting on FF.N doing nothing. So I decided to revise it and repost it, rather than just delete it. The original story is still here, it's just expanded on A LOT.

Disclaimer: I own the Little Rangers, and the Little Ranger concept. Most of the Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin' to Dino Thunder will be in this story, but they are all copyright to Bandai? Is that right? Ok, they're copyright to the wonderful people who made them!!

ENJOY!

Chapter one

She's back….

"Doctor Thomas Oliver?" Kimberly Hart muttered, staring at the nameplate on the mailbox, "Since when did he become a doctor?" The teenager standing beside her grinned, understanding the unspoken question. 'Since when was his memory that good?'

"He's a doctor of Archeology; actually," the teen, Kim's daughter Kimmy Ann Hart-Oliver, said, "and he got his doctorate several years ago. He's had some serious partner trouble since then too." She muttered, more to herself than her mother. "He and his friend and current partner Haley are acting Zordon figures for the Dino Thunder Power Rangers."

"Another team of us?" Kim muttered. She'd been introduced to most of the what, ten? teams since she left Mighty Morphin' power rangers, but was the number of rangers never going to stop rising? What had happened to the days when "May the power protect you" meant something only to six people and Zordon?

Before Kimmy could give her the answer that was sitting right there at the tip of her tongue, as she would be the only one who actually did have the answer to that question; the door they were standing in front of opened. The red and yellow Dino Thunder Power Rangers, Conner McKnight and Kira Ford, respectively; stepped out onto the porch. And by the looks on their faces, they recognized Kimberly from somewhere. Kim didn't know where, though Kimmy did. She had helped one Dr. Thomas Oliver set up his history of the Power Rangers Video diary, after all. She'd also chewed him out for the simplicity of it. It didn't cover anything, in her opinion. It didn't even give the individual rangers names, for crying out loud!

"Doctor O!" Kira shouted automatically, before Kim could stop her, "Kimberly's here!" Kimmy's arm shot out and wrapped around her mother's waist, her quiet strength pinning Kim in place.

"Shit." Kimberly whispered. The only thing holding her here, stopping her from bolting was Kimmy's strong arm behind her. Any attempt to bolt would only end up in her being dragged back, fighting every step of the way but nonetheless being brought back, by her 17 year old daughter. Why was she even here? Dammit, Kimmy, why do you do this to me!?

And very abruptly Kimberly's world was filled with a black clad ranger, who was now hugging her hard enough to crush her. Litterally.

"Dad! Mom has to breathe!" Kimmy shouted, extricating her arm from the ranger's embrace, and flexing her fingers to get feeling back.

Haley and Ethan stepped out, trying to figure out what was going on out here. Ethan looked as puzzled as Kira and Conner. Haley, after on glance at Kimmy, just shrugged. She knew about Kim and 'Dr. O,' and figured this would be Tommy's reaction if just this event ever happened. A cell phone rang. Kim and the black ranger paid it no heed. Kimmy dug around in one of her pockets before pulling the offensive object out. She flipped it open, her mouth forming an automatic response almost before the phone reached her mouth. "Hart-Oliver." There was a moment's pause, "I'm good." Another pause, "It's going good so far. About how we expected." She grinned. "Yeah, Dad's trying to crush her." The person on the other side of the phone laughed just loud enough for Kira, standing beside Kimmy, to hear. Then they spoke again. "Nope, no words yet." Another, longer pause. "Alright, see you then. All my love, little brother. Bye."

"Who was that?" Ethan asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"My twin brother Timmy. He's getting our," she glanced around as though to make sure there was no one else within range. "ranger team together and bringing them here for the yearly get together." Kimmy explained.

"But you called him little brother." Kira noted, ever the observant one.

"I just do that to piss him off." The Black ranger was still holding Kim, standing there in plain view of the road. Kim pulled free, and roughly jerked the helmet off his head. Kimmy grimaced. That had to hurt. Kim immediately started crying, and it was the angry 'how-could-you-do-this-to-me' sort of cry.

"I can't believe you!" She snapped, thrusting the helmet at the newly-revealed Tommy Oliver.

"What's wrong?" Kimmy asked automatically, though she was fairly certain she knew already.

"He did it AGAIN!" Kim shouted. "He had the power longer than any of the originals and here he is strutting around in another color!" Kimmy's head fell to her chest.

"I am not strutting!" Tommy shouted back. Kimmy's head fell even lower, and Conner noticed that every word made her wince. Another angry word or two later, her head flew back up, an angry fire in her eyes.

"Should've seen this coming. Actually, I did. I just figured my PARENTS could be a little more MATURE than that!" She said, her voice escalating only slightly. Conner marveled at her control, completely missing her comment about parents. It did not, however, fly over the heads of the yellow and blue Dino Thunder rangers, who stored it away. Kim continued to cry, sobbing so hard she almost fell. Tommy caught her, wrapped her in his arms, the argument instantly forgotten.

"Shhh, Beautiful." he whispered, tears now leaking from his eyes as well, his White-Ranger-days nickname for her slipping out as though he had never stopped calling her that. As though they'd still been together for the intervening years between white ranger and black.

Kimmy smacked herself in the forehead, an incredulous, exasperated look on her face. "And I thought Timmy and I's fights were over quick."

"They could be trying to tear each others throats out too, Kimmy." Haley pointed out. Kimmy glared at her. Neither liked each other much, and it was quite obvious by the way their eyes locked and fire flared.

"You are a smartass."
