A/N: Hey guys, here it is chapter one of Purple with Shock. I know it is painfully short but the first two chapters might be rather short but after that they'll pick up in length. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. I will be getting the graphics for this story up soon, so make sure to check out my profile every now and then for new ones.
Also a friend of mine, Jeremy Shane has posted a new story, a Power Ranger/Victorious Crossover which features Neveah who I have allowed him to write into his story. It is a great story and he does a wonderful job capturing Neve even though there is only one chapter so far. So go check it out.
On another note I should let it be known that Neve is now Sixteen, her birthday passed in April and the story starts in July. David is almost two and the Dino Rangers are all either Eighteen or almost Eighteen. The Ninja Storm Rangers are all either Nineteen or almost Nineteen with the exception of Hunter who is almost Twenty and Cam who is almost twenty-one. Hopefully that does not confuse anyone.
Purple with Shock.
Chapter 1: A new beginning.
Reefside, California;
July 20th, 2012:
A full year had passed since they had defeated Mesogog and lost not only their Ranger powers but their teammate and friend, Tiernan. They had all moved forward with their life since the tragedy but of course they would never forget the sacrifice the Gold Ranger has made. Neve was happy to be done with Ranger business, but to be honest she missed them a little. But as mentioned she was mostly happy to finally be retired. Not only was she retired, she had also finally graduated school, meaning one less thing to worry about.
Of course being only sixteen she had managed to graduate two years early and that had called for celebration in the family. A small party at Hayley's cafe made of the former dino and Julie, Tom – Julie's brother – and their new little sister, Faith along with Trini and Jason. Now that school was over she could enjoy the summer of relaxation before she began as a teachers aid and helped with the four Spirit Ninja's training.
She had planned to eventually go to college close to Reefside to get a Teaching degree but right now the petite brunette didn't know if she'd have the time with the Spirit Academy becoming closer to being opened every day. It was still years away from opening but still, she had priorities with them first. But her parents were encouraging her to go ahead and attend the community college in between Reefside and Blue Bay, and from what she'd heard Sensei Hikari felt she'd be able to handle both. She just wasn't decided yet, and it didn't matter really, she had around two or three months before the semester began.
Rolling over in her bed Neve smiled as a soft fury body jumped onto her chest and she opened her eyes. She was instantly met by the soft white and black tabby on her chest with piercing deep blue eyes that sort of reminded her of a deeper blue version of Hunter's eyes. The kitten was small, only three months old. She had named him Stormy because of his light coloring and blue eyes. He was a surprise, Hunter had rescued a abandoned cat not long before her sixteenth birthday, a female with bright green eyes whom he named Ghost much to her amusement. It wasn't until a few days after he'd given Ghost to Neve for her birthday that they'd realized Ghost was going to be a mommy.
It wasn't two weeks latter she gave birth to a litter of kittens, three to be exact. Neve kept the largest of the litter, which she named Stormy and Tori took the middle kitten, which was a darker tabby, a brown tabby instead of the white of it's older brother and mommy. The youngest and the runt was taken in by Kira, it looked identical to Stormy except it was a girl, not a boy, and had golden colored eyes. Tori and Kira named them Eclipse and Topaz
"Stormy, it's too early to wake up," Neve muttered. The black and white tabby meowed and rubbed his small fury head against her face and she chuckled, and turned it to the side as she heard her bedroom door being opened. She groaned slightly as her mother peaked inside the door, David, who was almost two years old in her arms.
"Neve, it's eleven. Time to wake up honey," Kim told her and Neve sat bolt up right in her bed, startling Stormy off of her chest and she gasps. It couldn't really be that late!
"That late?" Kim smiled at her daughter and then sighed as the cries from Neveah's new baby sister echoed through the house. Teddy Rose Oliver had been welcomed into the family only five months ago on February 10th, four days before her mother's birthday.
"I'll see you downstairs," Kimberly said as she left and Neve sighed before getting out of her bed. Making sure not to step on Stormy or Ghost who had walked in like she owned the place, she made her way to her closet and selected her clothes for the day. A Purple tank top with emerald green lace on the v neckline and an pink jean vest jacket and black skinny jeans. She brushed her hair and made sure to pull half of the curly brown hair into a purple sparkling butterfly hair clip in the back.
"Wish me luck today Stormy," Neve said as she knelt down pet the kitten and then petted Ghost who was rubbing against her pants leg waiting for attention before she stood back up. It was something she said everyday to the kitten since she'd gotten him and Ghost – though at first she'd said it to Ghost but Ghost tended to be her own cat, she wasn't as needy for lack of better word. She was independent and disappeared at times. She figured, since her luck tended to be so bad so she needed all of the luck she could get.
The kitten meowed back and Neve left the room leaving the door ajar for Stormy and Ghost if they wanted to leave the room. She wasn't surprised when Ghost followed. As it was Davie loved the small kitten but stormy didn't always love Davie. Ghost avoided the baby as much as possible but she was much more docile the the kitten and let him have his way but she let everyone know when she'd had enough of the almost two year old's antics.
"Hey Neve, you want lunch?" Kim asked as she rocked Teddy in her arms while her father fed Davie, who sat in his high chair. Neve shook her head with a smile.
"Nah, Hunter and I will eat while we're out," she answered and Kim nodded and Tommy looked up.
"Be careful Princess," he said and Neve rolled her eyes slightly and chuckled. It seemed every year that passed and she got closer to being a adult he got even more protective then before.
"Yes dad," Neve began as she pulled on her black boots. "See ya latter!" With a wave of her hand she was was out the door and Kim chuckled.
"Tommy, you know she'll be okay right?" Kim asked as she looked at her husband.
"I just want to protect her," Tommy said with a sigh. "She won't be back for a while, if not for us then for her." Kim sighed and nodded as she took a bottle for Teddy.
"She'll be fine, nothing will happen to her while she and Hunter are there. You remember just as well as I do." Tommy sighed and nodded and Kim walked over and kissed his cheek slightly.

"So, how does it feel to be finished with high school?" Hunter asked as they walked along the park. Neve chuckled.
"I don't know, how did it feel when you graduated?" she asked as she smiled smugly up at him. Hunter smirked and laughed lightly.
"I don't know, relieved? Are we really having a conversation about school?" he asked and Neve laughed as she kicked a rock with her boot as they walked. She had missed him in the last few weeks. She had not been able to see him because of the work load at the Academy and other things. Not to mention with Blake having asked Tori to marry him and them getting married in November Hunter had a hard time getting away from Blue Bay.
"I guess we are," Neve began amusement in her voice. "How are your students?"
"They're fine, and yours?" Neve sighed, shaking her head.
"They're not exactly my students Handsome," she said and Hunter laughed. To hear them say it, they were very much her students in their minds.
"Not the way they say it," he answers and Neve shakes her head and leans into his side as they came to stand at the lake side.
"Life is normal now, I never thought I'd say it but I miss the action. I'm bored!" she said, exasperated. Hunter narrowed his eyes as he looked around and noticed something. The park looked a bit different, not only was there more people but there was a trail like sidewalk and a tree that had never been there before.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about that, Beautiful." Hunter motioned around them and Neve turned and gasped. Somehow they were in Angel Grove, she'd grown up here, she knew this place like the back of her hand and this was definitely not Reefside.
"I don't think we're in Reefside anymore," Hunter said and Neve sighed.
"I just had to say it, didn't I?" she muttered. She didn't realize it yet, but this was the start of a new beginning, for both her and Hunter.
