Hi everyone! This is the first ever story that I have decided to write for Power Rangers. I actually started to write this around five to six years ago then forgot to finish it.

Just a quick authors note, the timelines may be slightly different to the series and there will also be a few tweaks here and there but not much. I think that the most noticeable thing would be that this is set after Mesagog was defeated but the guys still manages to keep the powers of the Dino gems.

...

Bolting upright, Tommy scanned the room, searching for anything that would be abnormal. Wiping the sweat from his face, he rolled to the other side of his bed and grabbed for his alarm clock which was on the floor. He couldn't believe his eyes when he read the time. Springing to his feet, he sprinted down the stairs searching high and low for his phone, picking up papers and objects as he went. Putting his hands on his head he spun in a circle trying to remember where it could be but froze when he saw a figure leaning against the kitchen counter, smirking.

"Hello..." He mumbled with a sleep filled voice, rubbing his tired eyes

"Hey Dr. O" Trent held his phone out to him "You looking for this?"

"Uh...yeah..." He padded towards her and reached for the device, squinting at the bright light which was coming from the window as he sat down "Why aren't you in school? I was going to ring in to tell them I would be late"

"Summer break" He laughed as Tommy groaned and out his head on his folded arms

"I forgot!"

"I thought that you might, here I got this for you figuring that you'd need it" He looked up to see a steaming coffee.

"Thanks" he chuckled, taking a sip. He was enjoying the small silence when he realized something was missing "Where are the others?"

"Connor is getting a new soccer ball, Kira is getting a new sketch book from June's Crafts and Ethan is getting some rice for his PDA because it was dropped in a water fountain..." Tommy raised his eyebrows at the teenager "Don't ask me just think of it as Connor's fault"

"I don't even want to think about it, but why is Kira getting you a new book?"

"I left it at Hayley's yesterday, Kira send me a message saying that she picked it up this morning for me when she grabbed her guitar lead that she left there from her last gig" Trent shrugged as he took a sip of his energy drink "They should be here soon, so maybe you should get changed"

Tommy frowned as looked at himself, realising that he only had on black long sleeved top and shorts

"I'll be right back" He ran out of the room and Trent laughed when he ran back in to get his coffee and disappeared again.

Twenty minutes later, Tommy made his way back down the stairs, freshly showered and shaven when he heard noise outside. Walking outside to his garden he found Trent leaning over his new sketch book where he was drawing Kira, who was working on a new song and Connor and Ethan were playing catch.

"Hey guys" he called, the former red and blue Dino rangers waved at him then carried on with their game.

"Hey Dr O" Kira smiled

"Whoa! Trent these are great" Tommy picked up the sketches which were surrounding the white clad boy.

"Thanks, just trying to dry them out though" Trent sighed "Someone knocked them into a water feature!"

"In fairness it wasn't my fault" Connor held up his hands

"No it was the soccer ball's fault when you kicked it" Ethan mumbled

"Anyway, heard you forgot it was summer break" Connor smirked as he threw a small red ball back to Ethan.

"Thanks" He looked at Trent, who smirked in response

"Connor you're throwing it too high!" Ethan whined

"Then jump dude" He laughed throwing it higher but Tommy ran between them and grabbed it.

"HEY!" They both cried

"Too slow" Tommy laughed but stopped as both blue and red ranger ran towards him

Kira and Trent watched the scene unfold between them as Connor and Ethan chased their teacher around his garden and couldn't contain their laughter as both teens dived at him, falling to the floor in a mass of tangled limbs.

"They're idiots" Kira said to Trent

"Hey!" A voice said from behind them. The musician and artist turned to see no one when Tommy appeared ""You wound me Kira"

"How long do you think it will take them to notice?" Trent asked nodding his head towards the heap of blue and red.

"I'm not really sure" Tommy chuckled. The three continued to watch Ethan and Connor when Tommy heard his phone ring so he left to answer it. Only then did the computer genius and jock notice that they were holding one another down and that their mentor was standing on his patio on the phone to someone. He gave them a little wave and laughed when they jumped to their feet. As they walked over to the house they could hear part of Tommy's conversation.

"Yeah Jas', I'll make it there no problem" He then found the wooden support beams, which were holding the patio canopy up, very interesting as he played with the grain "I know, I forgot to, sorry" He waited for the person on the end to speak "I'll ask and see what I can do, okay see you bro, bye" He hung up the phone and turned to see four pairs of eyes looking at him, "What?"

"So...Who was that?" Ethan asked curiously but winced when Kira hit him across the back of the head "Hey!"

"Sorry, did that hurt?" She asked innocently

"You know it did" Ethan sulked

"So who was it?" Connor asked which resulted in Kira to face palm in frustration.

"It was my friend from high school" He shrugged raising an eyebrow at Kira and shuffling away slightly from her. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Trent do the same "He is wondering if I'm going back to Angel Grove for a get together with a few others"

"Are these friends colourful?" Ethan pushed as they all made their way into the house and down into the lair

"Yep" Tommy replied as he sat in front of his computer

"Dude you're going to a ranger reunion aren't you?!" The blue clad teen was practically bouncing in excitement

"Maybe" Tommy smirked as all four teens spoke up at once

"Dude, can we go too?" Connor asked

"It'd be awesome!" Trent added "You know meeting some other rangers"

"Please Dr. O can we go?" Ethan chirped in

"Yeah common Dr. O" Kira shrugged "It would be nice to get to see where the power rangers started"

"I don't know, Mesagog has been quiet lately" Tommy mused "You four may have to stay here to keep an eye on things"

"Dr O, have you had a bump to the head?" Kira asked as Ethan prodded his mentors head "Mesagog is gone"

"Yes I know I was only seeing if it would work" He laughed as he swatted the hand away "Well if you want to come, you better go get packed or something I'm leaving tomorrow, get your parents to ring me if there are any problems"

The four teens looked at one another and then ran to the stairs with a "Thanks Dr. O" as they went.

"Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this" Tommy thought aloud as he put his face in his hands

...

Later on that evening Tommy sat down on his sofa with takeout menu in one hand and his landline in the other when his doorbell rang.

"Why is it whenever I sit down the doorbell goes?" He groaned as he stood up to see who was there. Pulling back the wood he saw Kira, Ethan, Connor and Trent standing on his porch with rucksacks with their individual colours on them "You guys forget something?"

"We were wondering if we could stay for the night so then it would be easier for us to leave in the morning, that's like if you are okay with us staying" Connor explained as Tommy walked away from the door and the four teenagers followed him inside

"Well since the amount of times that you guys have crashed here after battles I don't see there being any problems" the teens sighed with relief "But I swear if any of you snore, then your not going"

"No problem Dr.O, we'll make sure that Connor doesn't" Ethan smirked as they all dumped their bags and spread out in different chairs around the room "So, what's for food?"

"Pizza, you call" Tommy tossed Ethan the phone and he sat on the sofa next to Kira and turned on the TV "And don't go crazy, I'm not having you be sick"

...

After many slices of pizza Tommy leaned back into his sofa holding his one hand to his stomach and the other to his forehead

"I'm done, no more!" He exclaimed as he reached for his water

"Me too" Kira and Trent admitted as they dropped their half eaten slices back onto their plates. Not long after Connor fell back again the chair form his seated position on the floor, he too unable to eat anything else. Ethan looked at his fellow team members who were looking greener than their normal colours.

"You guys okay?" He asked, only to have a reply of a chorus of groans. Glancing at his watch, Tommy yawned and stood. He stretched his back and took the finished plated out into the kitchen and cleaned them as Trent put the empty boxes into the bin.

"Sorry guys but I'm beat, you guys know the rooms right" He walked back into the living room and looked at the teens who all nodded "Okay good, see you all in the morning around 8am" He laughed as he heard four simultaneous whines and walked up the stairs to his room. Once changed he set his alarm and then out his phone on charge then drifted off to sleep.

...

Kira couldn't sleep. She was sitting in the window looking at the stars when she heard something from the room next door. Quietly she made her way outside into the landing to narrow down the possibilities of who could be awake. Leaning against the wooden door next to diagonal to hers, she leaned against the surface to hear a whimpering coming from inside. Slowly, she pushed the door open and closed it behind her so no one else would be woken up.

In the centre of the large black bed was Tommy caught in a nightmare. Kira moved towards the bed and shook his shoulder gently.

"Dr. O" She whispered. She remember the first and last time she had found him like this. It was when they took a beating from Trent when he was still the evil white ranger. She had found him on the sofa in the lair, tossing and turning. Once he had woken up he was so weak, Kira helped him to his room where he just face planted the covers and fell back asleep. Kira was brought out of her thoughts by Tommy starting to talk under his breath in his sleep.

"No! Don't kill her please... Kill me instead!" He gasped as his tightened his grip on his duvet, tears running out from under his closed eyelids "Rita you bitch! Kim? Beautiful hold on, please!"

"Dr Oliver!" Kira called and she shook his shoulder harder "Tommy!"

"Kimberly! NO!" Kira moved as Tommy shot forward into a sitting position eyes wide open. He yelped with fright and he saw Kira sitting on the foot of his bed. Ducking his head, he rested his elbows on his bent knees to avoid eye contact "How long have you been there? Did I wake you?"

"Long enough and no, I was already awake" She looked at him as he sighed and wiped his face "Is there any need for me to ask if you are okay?"

"I'm fine" he sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, still not looking at her

"Yeah and I absolutely love frilly dress shopping" She paused as Tommy raised an eyebrow "That wasn't by choice" Sighing she moved so that she was sitting next to him, shoulder to shoulder.

"That was a weird day" Tommy gave a teary laugh

"Talk to me Dr.O" She said "The amount of times you helped me out when I've had problems"

"Kira-" He started

"Don't give me your teacher voice, we graduated" She sang and bumped his shoulder repeatedly with hers "Talk to me"

"Okay!" He laughed and nudged her back playfully "I was in Angel Grove, in the park. It was a routine putty attack but this time it got worse" He took a deep breath "Rita turned up, she hit Kim with this spell and she just dropped, you can probably guess what happened next"

"Hey, it was just a dream" Kira whispered as she placed her hand on his shoulder

"I know, it was just so real" He sighed. Kira jumped to her feet and grabbed Tommy by the wrist "What are you doing?"

"Last time we were all here I left something downstairs for specific reasons" She laughed as she dragged him to the kitchen and rummaged through the freezer. Turning the yellow ranger dumped a tub of Ben and Jerry's on the kitchen island in front of him and grabbed two spoons from the drawer

"How did you know that this would still be there?" He laughed as he pulled the lid off and started to pick at the chocolate ice cream

"Everyone knows that you would rather order a takeaway than look what you have in the kitchen" Kira grinned as she tried to take a spoonful but was unsuccessful as Tommy batted her spoon away with his "Hey! Come on Dr.O, that's not fair"

"Sorry, do you want some?" He asked as Kira tried to pry the tub from his grasp and chuckled when she succeeded "So, what's the plans for the rest of your summer?"

"Nothing much really, my parents left to go to Paris for quite a while" Kira shrugged as she took another spoonful and passed the tub back to Tommy

"Aren't you bothered by that?" He frowned

"I don't mind, I would rather just stay local for this break seen as I have the time now that Mesagog and his goons are gone" She laughed "I also have a few gigs coming up and I didn't really want to cancel them"

"What about the guys?"

"Well since Connor and Ethan started to hang out their parents got quite close because they realised that they live near each other and they are going to Egypt for a while, but no teenagers are allowed"

"I'm starting to think that maybe I should have gone to Egypt or something" Tommy whispered as he wiggled his spoon to prove his point "What about Trent?"

"I'm not sure what Trent's going to be doing but I know Mr Mercer is planning on creating some local areas for kids and teenagers around the whole of Reefside, like skate parks and tennis courts, you know all those things"

"Oh yeah, I remember Hayley saying something about it" Tommy nodded "well then it's a good thing that we're going to Angel Grove, huh?"

"Thanks for letting us go with you Dr.O" Kira smiled as she rinses her spoon in the sink

"It's no problem, Kira" Tommy chuckled as he stood next to her and placed a hand in her shoulder "But can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot" She raised her eyebrows as she put the spoons I the drying rack

"Why are you all still calling me Dr.O?" He laughed "You guys graduated, I'm no longer your teacher"

"I don't know really" Kira grinned "It's just kind of stuck now, is it starting to make you feel old?"

"Yes! You don't know how much" He grinned and pushed her towards the direction of her room "Come on, we're going to be up early tomorrow"

"Sure thing Dr.O, but can I ask you something?" Kira asked as they got the stairs and turned to him

"Yeah, go ahead"

"What's a putty?"
