This takes place after Master Xandred and the Nighlock have been defeated. Mentor decides the rangers need a break, before they have to return home, and a nice vacation would do the trick. He's sending them with their own private plane and pilot, to tour the jungles of South America.
"Mike! Hand over my underwear!" The guys are attempting to pack for their vacation, when Mike starts teasing Kevin about his boxers.
"Polka-dots? Seriously, dude?"
"They're not polka-dots, they're just dots." Kevin answers, snatching them back from Mike and stuffing them in his suitcase.
"Whatever you say."
"Guys, you almost finished in there? We need to get some sleep if we're gonna be waking up at four in the morning." Jayden calls through the closed door.
"We're just about finished, Jay."
Jayden makes his way down the hallway and stops when he gets to the girls' room and knocks on the door.
"Come in!"
Jayden opens the door, to see Emily sitting atop her suitcase, trying to get it zipped and Mia trying to help her.
"How much stuff do you guys need? We're only going to be gone for a week. And not to mention we're going to a quite unpopulated area of South America, not a fashion show in Milan."
"Haha, very funny. Ugh, boys." Emily looks at Mia in fake disgust.
"Tell me about it." Mia returns the look.
"You could help." Emily says to Jayden. Jayden shoots her a look.
"Please?" Emily asks, smiling.
Jayden picks up the suitcase and zips it with ease. Mia and Emily exchange a look and scoff. Jayden clears his throat.
"Thank you." The girls say in unison, with a sing-songy tone and fake enthusiasm.
"Mia! Wake up! We've gotta go!"
"Ugh... What time is it?" Mia groans, rolling over.
"4:15 and we are supposed to leave the house by 4:30, and you know how long it takes you to get ready." Emily replies, much too enthusiastic at such an early hour.
"Yeah, yeah. Where are all of our bags?"
"I already put everything in the van... and I made french toast!"
"At four in the morning?"
"No silly, that was at 3:00!"
"Alright guys, are we absolutely sure that we have everything?" Jayden asks, before they get in the van to head to the airport.
"Yeah, I think the girls have everything all right." Mike answers jokingly while looking at all of the girls' bags.
"Why is it that we absolutely must take a plane?" Emily asks, fearfully.
"It's either that or take a two week boat trip in shark-infested waters." Mia answers. Emily's eyes widen and she just shakes her head.
"Okay, we better get going, the plane leaves at six." Jayden says, checking his watch.
"Ji, are you sure you don't want to go with us?" Mia asks.
"Of course not, if I went with all of you how would I be getting a vacation?" Ji answers, jokingly. They all shoot him wounded looks.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! No, you all go and have a good time and enjoy yourselves!"
"Goodbye, Ji. We will!" Jayden calls, getting into the drivers seat.
"And don't get yourselves killed, letting Jayden drive!" Ji calls as they pull out of the driveway.
"Em, you okay?" Mike asks, noticing Emily seems shaky and nervous.
"Yeah I'm good, just a little bit nervous is all. But, I'm excited too!" Emily answers trying to be enthusiastic.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'll be much better once we're finally there."
"But, then we've got the plane ride from the big airport to the small village outside of the rainforest where we go for the tours. Then, on the way home we have to fly back to the big airport and then fly back home." Kevin answers, blabbing while everyone is shooting him looks to be quiet.
"Oh." Is all Emily says.
"Don't worry about it Em, I've flown a few times and there is nothing to worry about. People fly all of the time, every day and so very few actually have malfunctions with the plane. We'll be okay." Jayden says, trying to calm her down.
"Here we are."
"See that wasn't so bad, was it, Em?"
"No, actually it wasn't." They're all in South America, headed in their rental car to grab a bite to eat, before they head to the small airport.
"Are we going to have to eat fried ants and raw fish?" Mike asks.
"Or McDonald's." Mia answers.
"That's worse." Kevin adds. They settle on Subway, eat, and drive to a local store to grab some water and snacks for their backpacks.
"They're out of bottled water." Emily says, after asking the store clerk where all of the water was, using her translating book.
"Seriously?" Kevin asks.
"Yup, either that or his wife is cheating on him with a lizard." Emily answers.
"We don't have time to go to another store. We'll just have to buy the trail mix and wait until we get to the village to buy the water."
Alrighty, y'all! I hope you enjoyed it, and there is much more to come! I don't own power rangers samurai, or anything else referenced in this story, just my own creativity. I've had this story idea floating around my imagination for months now, and I'm excited to finally start sharing it with someone! Please, please, please review! To be honest, I'm not encouraged to write unless I know that people are reading and enjoying my story!
