Memories in a Closet

By: Sheltie

I don't own Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue at all

A/N: this one will be the first of a oneshot series with other PR couples. It will be updated whenever I have time so don't expect updates very often.

1-Carter/Dana

Dana Mitchell sighed for the fiftieth time as she looked through her closet. She was trying to organize it since she finally got time off at the hospital where she worked. But it wasn't going so well since there was so much stuff. She was amazed how much clutter she had in one closet and thought about going through her whole apartment one day to clean it all out and get rid of what she didn't need. But that would be for another day, right now she needed to focus on this one closet before planning world conquest i.e. cleaning her whole apartment.

"How could so much stuff be stuffed into such a small space?" she asked herself.

She then began pulling things out and putting it on the floor behind her. She kept going not even looking at what she was pulling out since she would look at it all when it was all in the open. It took a good thirty minutes to get everything out, but it was worth it. Now she had to deal with piles of stuff she had scattered all over the floor.

"I rather be facing Impus right now" she muttered under her breath.

The former Pink Lightspeed Ranger then began the task of going through everything in each of the piles to see what she could pitch, give away or keep. It was going to a long hard task since there was so much stuff. She blew a piece of blond hair that covered her eyes away and tucked the stray strands behind her ear only for them to slip out of its confines.

Soon her hands got a hold of a familiar object and she couldn't stop a smile grace her lips. It was an old teddy bear that she must've stored and forgotten about. What made the special is that Carter won it for her one day they went to a Carnival with the rest of the Rangers. She smiled and hugged the bear close as she remembered the day.

That was placed in the keep pile and she began looking at more things. She was amazed by a couple of the items she found. Like an autograph from Joel. She still remember when he gave it, but she held onto it since it was one of the first things she got from a fellow teammate. Next was a pair of rollerblades. She rolled her eyes since these were most definitely Kelsey's and not hers. Why she was storing them for her very active friend she hadn't a clue. The next item was a stuff dolphin Chad gave her from when he worked at the marine life amusement park. She remembered that since Carter got a bit jealous of Chad giving her the dolphin that he went out to get her a stuffed penguin. The penguin was on her bed.

Dana continued to go through each item and more and more memories sprouted up from them. She let out a sigh it has been a very long time since the entire team had gotten together. Sure they'd see one another individually, but even those were rare. Kelsey had her extreme sports tournaments or competitions that kept her busy and moving, Joel was doing his air shows again. Chad was busy with his job too. Ryan was working with their father to make up for lost time. And then there was Carter. She let out a sigh when he passed through her mind.

"Dana, you home?"

This seemed to brighten Dana up as she got up though she winced slightly since she had been sitting cross legged for so long her legs were stiff and moving caused a twinge of pain. She headed to the entryway. Standing there was Carter and he was holding a bag.

"Oh good, you're here. I heard from your dad that you had the day off and I came by bring lunch if that's alright" Carter said with a smile.

"It's alright, I am just cleaning out my closet" Dana said smiling right back.

"Then it's a good time for a break. Come on, I'll set it up" Carter said.

Dana nodded and walked over to help Carter unload the food.

Soon the two were eating and talking about their lives.

"So how goes cleaning the closet?" Carter asked.

"It's harder than I thought. I found so much stuff and I am amazed I was able to pack all that into one small space" Dana said shaking her head.

"I'm sure you'll get it done" Carter said.

"Thanks Carter" Dana said with a smile.

"Need any help?" Carter offered.

"Sure, that would be great. With the two of us it should go faster" Dana said.

"Then lets finish eating and I'll get to helping you" Carter said.

Dana nodded.

After they finished eating and tossed their trash. They then headed to the closet and began to go through things. During this Carter and Dana would pause as they reminisced about each item they pulled out.

The whole cleaning out of the closet lasted the entire day and Carter took Dana out to dinner to celebrate a job well done.

End

A/N: and that's the end of this first in what I hope to be the start of more chaps of this little series. Like I said before above I won't be posting to this one on any kind of basis at all. Just when I can get to it since I have other stories I have to pay attention too. Thanks for reading and please review.
