GET ME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I only own Gragon and the Crangons. Deck the Halls is traditional as far as I know. And I know that they never said what Conner's home situation is, but I'm thinking his parents are divorced. I mean, in the end of Power Rangers Ninja Storm, his brother Eric and some girl joined the Academy, and in Day of the Dino, Cassidy stated that Conner had been at Reefside for three years.
INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER ONE: CHRISTMAS FUN
All throughout Hailey's Cyberspace, kids were a mixture of hustle and bustle. Some brought in decorations, others brought in food, and still others brought in props that symbolized their beliefs. For example, Ethan James was setting up a row of candles as was the Kwanzaa tradition. While all this was going on, Kira Ford, Katherine Hillard, and Kimberly Hart were leading a group of kids into the beginning strains of Deck the Halls. Due to the vast amount of kids, two Reefside Police Officers had been assigned to keep an eye on things.
"So...what are these candles for?" Conner McKnight wondered, noticing the black, green, and red candles.
"It's for the African-American holiday, Kwanzaa," Ethan replied.
"What is Kwanzaa?" Trent Fernandez wondered.
"It's from Swahili, which "The First Harvest" which from December twenty-sixth through January first. And---oh, wait. I don't wanna bore you with a history lesson," Ethan said, cutting himself off.
"No. Go on, man. I'd really like to know," Conner encouraged.
"Well, the seven candles are lit to remind us of the seven principles we strive for," Ethan explained.
"Like what?" Conner asked.
"Unity, self-determination, responsibility to the community, Cooperation, purpose, creativity, and faith," Ethan answered, pointing to different candles as he spoke.
"Wow. That's really cool, man. Really interesting," Conner stated.
"Hey, what are you doin' for Christmas?" Ethan asked.
"Uh...I'm not really sure. I think the holidays are gonna be a little tense this year," Conner responded nervously.
"What? You mean more than usual?" the boys heard a voice quip. Turning, they saw another one of their friends, Trent Fernandez.
"Uh, yeah. I mean, my parents have only been divorced for about a year, and...I'm not quite sure what's gonna happen," Conner answered.
"Well, don't worry. I'm sure it won't be anything too bad," Trent assured.
"Hey, nothing can be worse than last year. My folks attempted to bring us all together Christmas, and they ended up in an ornament fight," Conner stated.
"Huh?" Ethan and Trent asked, looking at him. Conner waved it off.
"Long story," he stated. Then, they winced, as they heard a young girl's off-key voice.
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la," she belted out.
"Uh...let's get outta here," Conner suggested.
"Good idea," Trent and Ethan agreed. With that, the three boys fled the cyberspace.
