Title: The Return

Pairings: I'm not giving them away.

Raiting: T

Disclaimer: Power Rangers belongs to Saban/Disney whoever. I don't make any money off this, don't sue the poor college student! The only character I own is Catlin.

Summary: It's a ranger reunion. Is it all good times? Or will something go wrong? What does a ranger-relative have to do with everything? I can't give a good summary without giving away any plot points.

Author Notes: This is my first PR fic. All I will give away is that all the Zeo Rangers, plus Justin will be in this fic, and maybe a few rangers from other seasons scattered here and there. Constructive criticism is welcomed.

Tanya Slone walked into Angle Grove Youth Center and looked around at the place she and her friends had haunted so many years ago as teenagers. It had been years since she'd been there, but now she was back; why she was back, she wasn't sure of. She looked around for the man who'd called her and smiled when she saw him seated at a table off to the side "Rocky!" She called to him as she walked over to the table.

Rocky DeSantos stood up and gave Tanya a hug "Hey… thanks for coming. I wasn't sure if you would be able to make it when I called." He took a step back to look at her. She hadn't changed much since the last time he'd seen her almost 5 years prior.

"Well, you said you had a surprise for me, I couldn't stand the suspense!" Tanya replied as she sat down. "So what is it?" She asked eagerly, curious as to what would cause him to want her to come all the way back to Angel Grove.

"Just wait and see, patience is a…" he trailed off when he saw the next member of their group walk in "Catherine!" he yelled, getting the attention of the woman who'd just walked into the Youth Center.

Catherine Hillard heard her name called and turned towards the voice. She'd been in London since shortly after graduation, and it had come as quite a shock to here Rocky's voice on the phone a few weeks ago, asking her to come back to Angel Grove for a surprise get together. "Rocky! You haven't changed a bit!" she yelled hurrying over to them. "Tanya!! It's so good to see you" she exclaimed hugging one of her best friends tightly. "I've missed you so much."

Tanya smiled "Oh my god! Kat! I've missed you too" she said hugging her back. "I was so disappointed when you couldn't come out to New York last year."

Kat nodded "So was I." She turned to Rocky, "So Rocky, what is this surprise? You've never been able to keep a secret before, so spill."

Rocky laughed "Patience ladies patience!! I'm not going to spoil the surprise." He held his hands up in a defensive position, "I'm not aloud to tell. Sorry girls."

Tanya pouted, but was distracted by the sight of two young adults sparring across from them. "Is that…" she trailed off, tilting her head to the side as she studied the young male.

"Justin?" Kat finished for Tanya also watching them, paying more attention to the girl than to Justin. "Wow… that girl sparring with him is good. Who is she?"

Rocky silently thanked the heavens that the girls were distracted from the question of the surprise because they were right, he DID have a hard time keeping secrets. "That is Justin, and his girlfriend Catlin. Catlin is one of my students at the dojo. She's better than we were at her age; I think it runs in her family." He added a bit mysteriously, not giving away her relationship to the girls.

Kat was about to question him further when she noticed two people walk into the Center. "Tommy! Jason!" She yelled, waving her hand to bring them over. She got up and ran over to them, hugging them both tightly. "Oh my god Tommy, you cut your hair!!" she exclaimed.

Tommy laughed "Yeah, I lost a bet a few years back. I didn't have a choice."

"Besides dude, you look much better with it short" Jason added, an impish grin on his face.

"You HAVE to say that. It's your fault I had to cut it" Tommy bantered back good naturedly. "So… why are we here?" he asked walking with Kat and Jason over to the group.

"Rocky won't tell us" Kat said, giving Rocky her patented 'tell me or I'll hurt you' look.

Rocky gulped and checked his watch "Just relax guys, you'll find out in a bit" he said scooting away from Kat as she sat down.

"Wow… look at this, all of us together again. It's been years" Tommy said looking around at his group of friends. "I mean we've all seen each other here and there, but we haven't had a get together like this since we handed over our powers."

"We're not all here" Tanya said with a slight frown. "Adam's not here. He's dropped off the face of the planet. I haven't even gotten a letter from him in two years. I don't even know what he's doing. He never told me in any of his letters."

"He didn't tell me either. That is strange. I wonder where he is?" Kat said, pondering that question aloud. The others all expressed there wonder as well, since they hadn't been told either. "What about you Rocky?" Kat asked, noticing he was the only one who'd remained quiet.

"You know don't you?" Tanya accused, leveling her own stare on Rocky. "Where is he Rocky Desantos!"

Rocky gulped again "I… um… well…" he stuttered, shifting in his seat. He looked up and smiled. "Guys…"

Tanya looked up and gasped "It's…"

"Uncle Adam!!! You're back!!" A loud cry cut Tanya off and a blur from the sparring mat tackled the uniformed figure.
