Here you go everyone. consider this your virtual Halloween treat. A short story about what happens when Halloween comes to Reefside. As always I want to point out that in my universe and according to Wickipedia that the time line's off kilter becasue there were a few years between PRIS and PRLG. so I adjusted the time line accordingly.

As always I don't own power rangers. They are the property of the Disney channel.

Enjoy!

October 2007

5 days till Halloween.

Reefside Elementary

"Alright children, Please put your crayons up and look up at me." said Mrs. Sullivan getting her student's attention. "I have an important announcement to make. Listen closely."

Six year old Kayla put her green crayon back in the box and then put them inside her desk. She was in a very good mood and she swung her feet back and forth under her desk. She smiled up at her teacher. Mrs. Sullivan was a nice lady that was a little bigger then the other teachers but she had kind sparkly green eyes and red hair that was always braided in a way that reminded the little girl of a princess from a fairy tale. She really liked her teacher.

"This Friday we are having a Halloween party here in our classroom. Costumes are allowed but you have to leave your masks at home. I'm putting a permission slip in your folders to take home today to let your parents and guardians know and make sure they sign the note telling us that they've given their ok. Are there any questions?"

"Is there gonna be any pizza?" asked Jacob from behind her.

"Jacob, is that how we ask?"

The boy stood up by his desk. "Will there be any pizza at the party?"

Mrs. Sullivan smiled at her student. "Yes and there will be cupcakes too and candy and juice boxes. And we'll have some Halloween projects to do and we'll be showing a Charlie Brown movie too. Now are there any other questions?"

"Can we wear makeup?" asked another girl in her class getting up from her desk.

"I'm afraid not Jessica. You see class, the reason we can't allow that is because some bad person might come in with make up or a mask on and tried to take you away from us…and besides, I'll be taking your picture and I want to see your happy faces. Now are there any other questions?"

When she saw her students shake their heads. She continued. "We have about 5 minutes before the bell rings. When you get your folders I want you to put them in your backpacks and then get your coats on. It's a little bit chilly this afternoon."

With that, the teacher went over to her desk and picked up a stack of brightly colored laminated folders and began passing them out walking up and down the isles. As she did, a little boy with messy black hair stopped her and whispered something in her ear.

The teacher thought hard for a moment and then whispered something back into his ear which made the little boy smile and nod and then unexpectedly hug her.

His teacher chuckled and then hugged him back before getting back up slowly as she was not as young as she seemed. Then she pulled out a sticky pad from the pocket of her denim skirt and then took the pen she had hanging from a cord around her neck and then wrote out a note and put it inside his folder. Then she moved on handing out the folders.

When she had finished she opened the door.

And when the bell rang and she waited patiently as they all got in a line and filed out the door. She led them all out to the line of waiting school buses. But Kayla never took the bus. She looked out to the parking lot and saw her dad's jeep pull into the parking spot in front of the school.

"Kayla! Come on sweetheart!" came her mom's voice. That was all the little girl needed to hear and she ran off to the black jeep.

Thursday

2 days till Halloween and 1 day before the party

Early Morning

Dr. Thomas Oliver…known to his daughter as 'Daddy' gently led his little girl to the idling jeep. It was early and there was still dew on the windshield. He chuckled as his little girl yawned while he buckled her in and adjusted the shoulder strap. She was only in first grade and so was still not used to the early morning drive. He'd been used to it for years. Just before he put the car in gear he took a moment to look at his daughters folder and nodded with satisfaction that the permission slip was signed. He was getting better at not forgetting anything.

He was proud of himself.

"Kayla, sweetie. When you get out of school, I won't be there to pick you up. Your mom and I are spending the day together.. She's been really tired and stressed out. This is gonna make her feel even better."

"Did I do something to stress her out?" came her ernest question.

Her dad smiled at her. "No. Having you around makes your mom and I both really happy. But she's been really tired and hasn't been feeling good so I'm taking her to the doctor. Okay?"

"Does that mean the Connor, Kira, and Ethan are gonna pick me up?"

Tommy chuckled again. "You like hanging around with them don't you?"

Kayla grinned at him and nodded her head enthusiastically. "Connor's teaching me soccer and Kira takes me shopping and Ethan's super smart. He lets me play around with his computer games! Its just like having real big brothers and sisters!"

Tommy marveled to himself about how those three had started out as an unwelcome and unexpected tag-alongs to being big brothers and a big sister to his little princess.

"Well, they are going to pick you up today and they're going to take you down to the Halloween shop to get your costume for the party tomorrow. They're gonna take you to get an early dinner and then bring you home okay? I've talked to the people in the office and they'll let them pick you up after school okay?"

"Okay daddy." she said before yawning.

Tommy chuckled again before starting the jeep.

What do you think? Please review!

AN: I hate to announce this but from now on as a result of a very horrible flame I recieved this morning, I am no longer allowing unverified reviews. If anyone wants to flame me they should have the guts to give their name so I can defend myself. It's only fair.
