Chase rushed into the Dino Lab early that morning. None of the other Rangers had come in for their shifts except for Shelby, who was in early as well to get in a few extra hours of study time in with Kendall before the start of the day, and Koda, who lived in the caves.

Not only was he early, but he was dressed up. His hair was done and not all shoved under his hat. He had ditched the headphone, had a button up shirt instead of his sweater and his jeans looked clean. Shelby couldn't believe her eyes.

"Has someone switched Chase out with a fake?"

"They're coming," Chase said with a bright smile on his face. He walked over to Kendall, planting a kiss on her lips, leaving her a little surprised by the affection.

"Friends are coming?" Koda asked. "I get excited too."

"Not our friends, my family," Chase explained. "Mum and Chloe just sent me a text. They're at the airport. They're here! In Amber Beach!"

"What?" Kendall frowned, looking a little panicked at the sudden announcement that her boyfriend's family was in town.

"They're getting a cab from the airport to the museum. They should be here any minute!" Chase announced with clear excitement. He kissed Kendall one more time then raced back up the museum, awaiting his mother and sister. Koda watched him go, a bright smile on his face. He knew how much Chase had missed his family since becoming a Ranger and was thrilled for his friend that he was getting the chance to visit with them.

Kendall, on the other hand, didn't seem pleased at all. While, like Koda, she was happy for Chase, and knew this was an exciting moment for her boyfriend, she wished she hadn't been told at the last minute.

"Well, that's an interesting surprise," Shelby said with a little smirk as she looked over to the purple Ranger. "Did you set this up, Ms. Morgan?"

"I... I had no idea," Kendall shook her head, and then glanced down at the outfit she had put together for the day. While she was sure she looked presentable, she wasn't sure her usual skirt and jacket was proper for the first time meeting her boyfriend's family. After all, Chase had dressed up for the occasion. She felt that if she had known, she would have put together something a little more special.

"Ms. Morgan, are you okay?" Shelby asked, and Koda started to poke her arm. "You're kind of looking a little... not yourself."

"Am I expected to meet them?" Kendall asked the pink and blue Rangers. "Today?"

"Well, they'll be at the museum, which you own," Shelby pointed out. "And you and Chase do love each other, right? So he's going to want to introduce you."

"Kendall not have to worry," Koda assured her. "I sure Chase mom and sister will like you."

"I... I mean, I hope they will," Kendall said, gulping a little. "I mean I just kinda really met my own family."

"And that went well," Shelby encouraged her. "They loved you so much, they adopted you. Ms. Morgan, it's going to be fine. Chase makes his mom sound really sweet."

"Of course he does, she's his mother," Kendall pointed out.

"And Chloe is Cammy's age, and you're great with Cammy."

"Cammy's the only kid I'm good with," Kendall said, to which Koda nodded his head.

"Yes. Kendall not good at controlling little monsters," he said and Kendall swat him in the stomach. "Ow."

"Why do you think I try to pass off Fossil Fun Day to my employees every year?" Kendall said to Shelby. "Kids don't like me, and I don't know how to talk to them."

"Just, treat Chloe like Cammy," Shelby shrugged.

"Who?"

"Chase's sister," Shelby chuckled. "Wow, you're really nervous about this, aren't you?"

"In case you haven't noticed, I'm not good with first impressions," Kendall stated and Shelby couldn't help but agree. For more than a year, Shelby hadn't liked Kendall one bit. She found her to be cold, too focused on work, and very unreasonable. In fact, so did most of her employees. Some, still, believed Kendall was a heartless bitch.

"Okay, well, how about Koda and I give you a hand with that?" Shelby suggested. "If it looks like you're struggling a bit, we can talk you up."

"Talk up?" Koda asked.

"We'll say nice things about her," Shelby explained, then pointed to Koda while she looked at Kendall with a smile. "Hey, he's, like, your biggest cheerleader. You've already got a bit of a head start there."

"You think I can do this?" Kendall asked. Shelby nodded.

"You're a good person, Ms. Morgan. Just...well, there is one thing."

"What?"

"Well, we don't mind calling you Ms. Morgan. But, perhaps, maybe you could let your potential future in-laws call you Kendall?"

Kendall nodded her head and looked as though that thought hadn't even occurred to her. "You're right, Shelby, thanks."
