I don't own Power Rangers, or any of its characters
I noticed there was a Lack of Conner/Trent Stories on here, so I decided to write (At least) One. Post Dino-thunder, In this Fiction, Dr Oliver is kind-of a second father to all his Rangers, much like in the Series
Main Paring: Trent/ Conner
Sub Parings: Ethan/Kira and Cassidy/Devlin
Chapter One: Once a Ranger
Conner McKnight, ex-Red Power Ranger walked along the corridor to Dr. Tommy Oliver's class, beside him Ethan James and Kira Ford, his ex-Team mates, they all still wore their Dino-Gems, they knew they were broken but they couldn't bring themselves to take it off.
They walked into the Classroom and Conner instantly looked around and was surprised to see Trent sitting in his usual place waiting for the rest of the Ranger team, Conner walked over and sat next to him, Kira sat next to Ethan and Dr Oliver turned to immediately see his Protégées, sitting waiting for him to start, they all made their notes as Dr. Oliver spoke about Dinosaurs and then they waited behind after class to speak to him,
"Dr. O" Kira said as way of a greeting,
"Hello Kira, Ethan, Conner, Trent" Dr O said looking up to see them standing there, "Anything I can help with?"
"We've all been wondering" Conner started,
"What Do we do now?" Trent finished
"What do you mean?" Dr O said making an Obvious sign, they turned to see a single student still there packing up,
"Hurry up Alex" Dr. O said, the student looked up and rushed our holding his bag on his elbow,
"It's always tough to return to normality, but we must make sure that we don't dwell on the past and try and just go on" Dr O said looking at the Teens,
"It seems strange after all we have seen" Ethan said,
"It's no stranger than some of those Video games you play" Conner said, causing everyone to grin.
"But No matter what" Dr. O Started, "We're still a team"
"Talking of teams" Trent remembered suddenly, "There's a Paintball competition for five players this weekend"
"Sounds like fun" Conner said, "And what better team is there than the Power Rangers?"
They all agreed to take part in the competition and said goodbye to each other, then They walked down the corridor in two Direction, Dr. O Staying to register the team, Conner and Trent walked one way and Ethan and Kira had decided to Visit Haley's.
They walked side-by-side and occasionally Conner caught Trent stealing the occasional glance at him and couldn't help smiling weakly every time he did, they had just passed the Locker room when Trent stopped, Noticing this after a single step Conner stopped as well,
"You alright Trent?" Conner asked looking concerned, His old leadership mode kicking in.
"Yeah, I was just thinking" Trent replied looking over at him,
"Anything In particular?" Conner said tilting his head slightly to show that he was interested,
"No" Trent replied blushing, "Not really",
"Ah, Never mind then" Conner said, once again showing his brilliant smile, Trent felt his heat skip a beat, Oh how I would love to taste those lips he though as Conner stood looking at him, then he did something that was both Stupid and Brave, he launched himself onto Conner and knocked him to the floor. Then he pressed his lips against Conner's, he was surprised when Conner didn't push him off or even try and break the seal at the lips, when they parted, they got up and Trent couldn't take his eyes off of the floor, He'd just kissed the biggest ladies man in the whole school.
"That was…. Different" Conner said looking at Trent,
"Sorry I Don't know what came over me" Trent whispered, still looking at the floor.
Conner Wasn't conscious of doing it, he wasn't thinking, but Trent looking down at the floor, his lips waiting for someone to taste them, he moved quickly forward, and placed a hand on Trent's chin, lifting his head up to face Conner, they both moved as one lips meeting in the centre of them. They both separated their lips and their tongues met in an elegant dance in Conner's mouth. They parted and Trent spoke,
"I take it that was a pity kiss?" Trent asked looking downtrodden,
I smiled and shock his head, "No, There is a reason I never went out with Kira when she asked"
"What is the reason?" Trent said looking up into Conner's brilliantly brown eyes
"Yellow's not my colour" Conner commented looking into Trent's eyes,
"What's Your colour?" Trent asked, slightly entertained by his friends behaviour,
In answer Conner moved forward and whispered into Trent's ear, "Three guesses"
Trent laughed, "Red?" He asked
"Two Guesses" Conner said Playfully
"Blue?" Trent said, he knew the answer to the question, but he enjoyed joking with him
"Final guess" Conner whispered, he could not help grinning at the teases.
"Um, well I doubt Dr. O would be your type so White?" Trent said thoughtfully, He heard Conner laugh,
"And you think Ethan would be?" Conner said, "He's a good friend, it's just…" He was going to finish when he moved swiftly away from Trent who spun around to see Dr O walking down the corridor towards them.
"Hey Guys, we are officially part of the Match" Dr O said as he saw them, "Where's Kira and Ethan?"
"Heading to see Haley" Trent said,
"I Might head there myself, see if anything was happening" Dr O replied,
"Like what?" Conner said,
"I heard Kira's performing there this evening, Great place for people to go as couples" Dr Oliver commented, he had a tiny grin on his face. He raised his hand and walked out of the door that they had stood in front off.
"He couldn't have" Trent said, almost as if saying it he could make it unreal,
"How could he have though" Conner said, he was equally scared
"Then again it is Dr O, He won't say anything to anyone" Trent said confidently
"Yeah, that's true" Conner said looking out of the door at the brilliant sunshine,
"Do you want to go to that concert?" Trent asked hopefully
Conner blushed slightly, "A-as in a… a date?"
Trent blushed this time, "Only if you want to"
Conner smiled again and nodded, "Yeah why not?"
"Then lets make it official" Trent said looking at his new boyfriend smiling as Conner pulled him into another deep kiss.
(Haley's Café)
Dr O walked into the establishment and looked around he saw Ethan sitting with Cassidy, And Kira was sitting writing a new song, He immediately walked over and sat next to her,
"Its happened" Dr O said,
Kira looked up and smiled, "When?"
"This afternoon" Dr O said, he along with Kira had always know, from the moment that the two boys had met knew that they would end up getting together, But Ethan was completely Oblivious, they had both been trying to get Conner and Trent together as quickly as possible, but failing until now,
"So what Happened?" Kira said, watching the door, making sure that neither Conner or Trent was walking in,
"Well I only caught parts of their conversation" Dr O said placing his hands over his faces, showing that he too like all humans could tire,
"What were they saying?" Kira said looking down at her song, writing something else
"Well from what I guessed Trent kissed Conner and then got worried Conner would hate him for it, they then kissed again, and all I heard before realising what was going on was Trent saying to Conner 'I Take it that was a pity kiss'"
"So what are they planning?" Kira asked
"I told them about your performance tonight and dropped a hint that I knew about them and left them to it" Dr O said looking over, "What's your song about?"
"A Different sort of Love" Kira said, "Dedicated to a couple of Friends"
Dr Oliver laughed, "Well fine, but don't tell them I told you, Trusted teacher I may be, but match maker, defiantly not"
Kira elbowed him at that point and pointed to the door, where Trent and Conner had just walked in, they seemed happy and instantly found Dr O and Kira, both of which were looking at the paper in Kira's hand,
"Hey Dr O" Trent said, "My Dad wanted to talk to you, something about Dino-might"
Dr O frowned and stood up, "Are you sure that's what he said?"
"Yeah, does it mean something?" Conner asked, "I was standing next to Trent when he said it"
"Not really" Dr O looked worried still, he rushed off and walked out of the bar,
"Wonder what's up with him" Trent said shaking his head slightly at Dr Oliver's confusing behaviour,
"When does your Performance start?" Conner asked, his smile still playing on his face.
"About Seven" Kira said, "And I'll have a new song"
"Cool, How many you up for?" Trent asked,
"Just two tonight, then one tomorrow" Kira said looking over at her song,
"I'm going to go and see what My Dad wants with Dr Oliver" Trent said, looking at Conner, "Want to come?"
Conner smiled again and nodded, leaving Kira alone to her song, "Make sure your both here!" Kira called after them, they both turned and made the quite obvious gesture of shocked and outrage but acknowledgement as if to say, You think we'd not?
Ethan looked up at call, he saw Conner and Trent walking out, and Kira smiling to herself, Wonder What's going on?
"So Ethan, What was being a Ranger like?" Cassidy asked,
"I'll only talk about it if you swear that you wont talk about it on air" Ethan said
"Fine, I swear" Cassidy said looking at him
"Dangerous and enjoyable" Ethan commented, "Sometimes, we would love it. Others when we would argue, we'd hate it. But most of the time we were just simply waiting to help, others we'd all be in school and just simply normal"
Cassidy looked up at him, "What's it like to have had so much power, then all gone?"
"It's odd, but we have all remained best of friends, for a long time we were the only people who knew the others secrets, but then we all remained that trust"
Ethan looked at the door, first Dr. O had rushed out then Conner and Trent, "I just need to go and see something" Ethan said standing up, Kira had also stood,
He rushed out and found Kira following him, "I feel odd" Kira commenting looking at Ethan,
"Yeah, Like something is calling us elsewhere" Ethan replied
They both rushed off and found that their feet carried them to Trent's house, where they saw Dr. O's truck, they both rushed round the back to where Trent's spare key was hidden, they found it and unlocked the front door, they crept to the lab area, and found Dr O talking with Anton Mercer,
" What do you mean power once gone can be remade?" Dr O was saying
"The Gems, they can be re-forged" Anton said looking at Dr O,
"And what use would they be?" Dr O replied looking over,
"They would be safe guard" Anton said, "In case another creature like.. Mesogog ever were to appear"
"So they would be a sort-of nuclear deterrent?" Dr O replied, Ice in his voice, "They are Kids, not soldiers to be sent into battle whenever they are needed"
"But you sent them in whenever it was needed" Anton argued back,
"When another Creature turns up, you know what happens" Dr O replied,
"Yes, but why not give some support" Anton said,
"That would not be the ranger way" Trent said walking out of his hiding place, at the opposite end of the room
"Trent?" Dr O asked,
"The thing about Children that you don't get Oliver" Anton said, "they often nose around in things that don't concern them. Do they?" He shouted last part and Connor appeared, and Dr O sighed,
"And you two" Anton said, gesturing where the others sat, they both popped up and cause them all to roll their eyes,
"We're a team Dr O, keeping secrets isn't what teams do" Kira said looking at Conner and Trent who were both looking at the floor.
"True Kira, but then I was going to tell you when I returned what we discussed" Dr O said,
"We didn't know that" Ethan said,
"Why don't we ask the teens what they think Tommy?" Anton said looking at the assembled people,
They all looked among themselves, "We Trust Dr O's choice"
Every head turned to Dr Oliver, who sighed and shock his head, "We'll need some time to decide"
They all walked out towards the exit, Conner knew that Dr O wasn't happy that they were spying but felt that they knew he would've done the same.
(Later)
Conner had found a nice table and sat down, Trent had found him and sat next to him they secretly held their hands under the table and watched the stage, where they knew Kira was going to appear, she appeared rather quickly and stood with her microphone in front of her, there was a loud cheer as she prepared to sing,
"Hey guys, this song is dedicated to a couple of my friends" Kira said as she scaned the audience, Ethan and Dr Oliver were sitting in the front row, Conner and Trent could barley be seen in the shadows, but they had come and from what she could see, they had come as a couple,
The Band struck up and Kira began to sign (A/N: I'm no songwriter but here goes nothing)
Love comes in maaa-ny forms,
It comes from many sources
But you are Together,
And you're my special friends
When first we met, I never knew
Just who you were,
But now I know,
Who you are
You are my friends
Once and again
You are my friends
My special Friends
Others may judge you
But always know,
That I shall never
Dooooooooo
You are my friends
Once and Again
You are my friends
My special friends
When we last met
We both knew
That we were friends
Once and forrrrr-everrrrrrr.
She ended by raising her fist into the air, the whole croud clamped and cheered, Dr O was one of those cheering loudest, Conner and Trent were both smiling and clapping, they cheered, before Conner whispered something in Trent Ear and Trent mouthed obviously, Conner McKnight!
But they walked to the door and waited for Kira to join them,
"Nice song Kira!" Conner said, "Listen, I'm walking Trent home, sorry but I'm going to miss your final song"
"No Problem, that's why I sung my new song first" Kira said smiling deviously, "Have a nice night both of you!" she walked back towards the bar and drunk a large glass of milkshake before rushing back to the stage.
Chapter Two will be up soon as lovely people review!
