Hey, what's up? As per request, I'm going to write this story simultaneously with No Threat.

Just a small note (in case you didn't read the summary): this story will be about the lives of the Westbrook and King children (and others). Basically details what happens after Rescue Ops.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this story just as much as my other ones!

==Palisade, North Carolina, United States==

It was a great, warm, sunny, autumn Saturday morning in Palisade and nobody could have asked for better weather. After the whole Ranger mishap a decade-and-a-half before, things were looking really nice. Palisade was the place to be.

Sixteen-year-old Casey Westbrook slowly opened her sharp blue eyes to an irritating sound in her room. She was a fairly pretty girl who took in looks almost directly from her mother. From the blonde hair to the peachy complexion, everything about her screamed to be an exact replica. Sometimes, the family had a hard time telling apart which pictures were of her and which were of her mother as a teenager.

After trying to sleep in late, the last thing she wanted to hear was someone making noise in her room in the wee hours of the morning. When she got up and squinted her eyes slowly open, she saw her eleven-year-old brother, Max, messing around on her computer.

Max, like Casey, looked directly like one of their parents. Unlike Casey, however, Max resembled more of his father. The only thing that differentiated Max from his father was that Max had a lighter shade of brunette hair.

"Max!" she exclaimed in fury. "Like, what the hell are you doing in my room!?"

"Uh-oh!" Max panicked and ran out of Casey's room.

"What did he do?" Casey asked herself as she hopped out of her bed and onto her computer. She saw several E-Diary pages open and realized that he had been reading her own E-Diary. "MOM! DAD!"

"What is going on in here?" Casey's father, Raylan, asked as he barged into her room. "Do you have any idea what time of the morning it is?"

"Oh. My. Gosh. Max was reading my diary!" Casey complained. "He broke into my room and used, like, his stupid computer skills or something to read what I had written."

"Are you really that important of a person to have super secret files?" Raylan asked sarcastically.

"That's not the point!" Casey yelled. "He, like, snuck into my room!"

"Okay, and we'll discipline him at a more appropriate time during the day." Raylan replied. "Now please, your mother had a rough day at work yesterday and just wants some sleep. Do you think you can give that to her?"

"Fine, but only if you promise to yell at Max."

"Whatever, I promise." Raylan said, walking out of Casey's room. "Man, I am definitely going to regret that decision."

"MOOOOOM! DAAAAAD!" sixteen-year-old Alissa King shouted at the top of her lungs.

Alissa was what most boys considered to be one of the prettiest girls in the school. She got her good looks directly from her mother, to which she looked almost exactly like. She had long brunette hair that curled at the bottom which complimented her perfect figurine.

She moaned and wiped off some whipped cream on her face. Her eleven-year-old sister, Kelsey, played the sleeping prank of putting whipped cream on her hands and tickling her nose using a feather.

"What do you want?" Alissa's mother, Ryleigh, groaned and walked into her room.

"Kelsey just did the classic feather and whipped cream trick on me!" Alissa complained. "I was sleeping peacefully until that brat rushed in!"

"Well, I don't see Kelsey anywhere." Ryleigh said. "Wait...but I do see whipped cream all over your face!"

"See what I mean!?"

"That's hysterical!" Ryleigh laughed.

"Mom, it's totally not funny!

"Don't worry, I'll tell her what she did wrong." Ryleigh assured her teenage daughter. "Just go back to bed and let and your father catch up some sleep. It's a Saturday and I don't see why you kids are up so early."

"And then he ran away!" Casey told her family about her incident with Max at the breakfast table. "It was, like, so annoying!"

"Yeah, but you're always so secretive over your diary!" Max defended himself. "It would make anyone curious!"

"You guys are both losers." their other sister and Max's twin, Charlotte, joked. Like Casey, she also very much resembled her mother.

"Daddy, weren't you supposed to yell at Max?" Casey asked her father, who was peacefully pouring himself a bowl of cereal.

"Guys, come on. Let's start this morning off on a good foot." Raylan told his children.

"Can we just have a good day?" their mother, Emma, added in. "Why do you kids always have to find something to fight about every morning?"

"I'll be quiet if you and daddy punish Max." Casey crossed her arms.

"Casey, you're sixteen and Max is eleven." Emma reminded her daughter. "Act like a teenager."

"And this is how teenagers are supposed to act." Casey protested. "I'm not budging until Max gets one month of no TV time."

"You guys are going to be the death of me." Emma groaned.

"Okay, that's it, both of you are grounded for a whole month." Raylan ultimately decided.

"Why am I grounded?" Casey asked in shock. "What did I do wrong?"

"And why I am grounded?" Max asked as well. "I just happened to let my curiosity get the best of me!"

"You're grounded for sneaking into your sister's room and reading her private stuff." Raylan pointed at Max. "And you're grounded because your attitude is just plain awful." Raylan pointed at Casey. "Now I don't want to hear an if, and, or but from either of your mouths."

"Does that make me the good kid?" Charlotte asked innocently. Casey and Max stuck their tongues out at her.

"Don't try and suck up." Raylan scolded her.

"Couldn't you guys just have let us be a normal family for a day?" Emma asked. "Why does there always have to be some sort of conflict?"

"I don't need this crap. I'm going to me room." Casey stormed off upstairs.

"Does this make me the better kid?" Max asked, trying to mimic his twin.

"Don't pull off a Charlotte or I'll ground you twice as hard." Raylan said sternly.

"I hate you so much!" Alissa shouted at her younger sister in the living room.

"Does it look like I care?" Kelsey brushed off Alissa's comments. Like Alissa, Kelsey looked almost exactly like Ryleigh. Apart from having a lighter shade of hair, she was practically Alissa's mini-me.

"Well, you should care."

"And why is that?"

"Girls, could you both please quit fighting?" Ryleigh pleaded her daughters.

"Honestly, it's irritating." Johnny, Ryleigh's husband and their father, agreed.

"You're irritating." Alissa crossed her arms.

"Man, sometimes I wish I was either Raylan or Emma." Ryleigh sighed.

"I know, their kids are so much more obedient." Johnny sided with his wife. "Why can't you two be like them?"

"Because we aren't them." Alissa protested. "I'm my own person."

"And you're really bad at being a person." Kelsey joked. For an eleven-year-old, her insults were on par with her sister.

"I'm going to my room, you guys can do whatever you want." Alissa stormed upstairs.

Up in her room, Alissa was free from whatever her parents had to say. She pulled out her phone and started to text her best friend, Casey.

"hey case, what's going on?"

"nothin much, wbu?" Casey replied.

"just gettin yelled at for doing absolutely nothing."

"ha no way, same over here."

"what happened to you?" Alissa asked.

"max read my diary and I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT GROUNDED! wheres the logic in that?" Casey informed Alissa.

"thats really stupid, sorry 2 hear that."

"whabbout you?"

"kelsey pulled off the classic feather and whipped cream trick on me while i was sleeping and i got yelled at for causing a disturbance."

"wow that sucks. did u get grounded?" Casey asked.

"no."

"lucky! my stupid parents took away my tv and computer time for a whole month!"

"that really sux."

"tell me about it."

"well, i'm probly gonna go nap so i'll ttyl. we hangin out today?"

"yeah, cya!"

Well, that's the first chapter! What did you think?

When will the Ranger powers start to show up? Who's the bad guy? Why do Casey and Alissa have major attitude problems? Haha, find out in the next chapter of...New Generation!

Okay, corny outro aside, I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter just as much as I did writing it!

And as always, drop a review, good or bad!
