My Crimson Ranger
Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers. Power Rangers belongs to Saban Brands. The OC Alice was created by CrimsonRangerFan, who also came up with the idea for the plot.
Hope you've enjoyed it!

Hunter looked around to see himself in a cafe. There was folksy music playing, and a woman sat down next to him. She was his mother.
"Mom?" Hunter said.
"I just came to say that it'll be okay," she said. "And to not be upset if things don't turn out like you planned."
"Okay," he sighed.
"You should hold onto the past, but keep moving forward as you do."
Hunter woke up from his dream, going to his cell phone to text Alice.
Hunter: Do you ever think about where our relationship is going?
Alice: Not really
Alice: I'm still trying to remember
Alice: Where it's been
Blake walked up to Hunter, who was online, looking for a gift for Alice.
"Can I talk to you about something, bro?" Blake asked.
"Sure," Hunter said.
"What do you think Tori would say if I asked her out?" Blake asked. "Like, on a real date."
"I don't know," Hunter sighed. "I'm not sure if she's ready for another serious relationship."
"You're right," Blake sighed.
"I thought you already went on a date with her," Hunter said.
"It wasn't really," Blake said. "And it was kind of awkward anyways. You know what, it's probably for the best if I don't ask her."
"Yeah," Hunter said.
"Inter-team relationships always make things complicated," Blake sighed, before realizing what he was implying. "Except for you and Alice."
"Of course," Hunter sighed.
Unknown: Come to the park
Hunter walked up to Alice, sitting alone in the park, her hair slightly shorter. She was holding a phone in her hands. It was a new phone; she'd just bought it, having lost her old one. He saw she was wearing sunglasses, but in that weather the sun itself was nowhere to be seen. He sat down next to her.
"My memory , it's not getting better," she said. "At least, not at the rate I hoped." Hunter kissed her, and told her that everything was going to be okay.
"I need a moment alone," she sighed.
The rangers were alerted to the presence of a monster and wrnt to deal eith it. The monster was tough, preying on their thoughts and insecurities. As the rangers ambled about, trying to get leverage, Hunter sighed, before tackling the minster head on.
"You're not immune to doubt or pain," the monster reminded him, before injecting him with insecurity.
The other rangers assembled a new weapon, and destroyed the monster with it.
Hunter walked away from the others, still morphed. He collapsed on a rock a few feet away, removing his helmet. He stared at his helmet, and for a moment he hallucinated that it was Alice's face - the old Alice, the one who knew him, the one he knew.
The next thing he knew, the real Alice was standing in front of him.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," he sighed. They stayed there for a moment, their consensual silence more comforting than words ever could be.
They went back to Storm Chargers to be with the others for a bit. Tori walked up to Alice.
"Nice haircut," she said.
"Thanks," Alice sighed. "Do you think I'll get my memories back?"
"I'm sure you will," Tori said. "But...don't feel pressured to go back to being the person you were before this happened."
"Thanks for saying that," Alice sighed as she walked away.
Tori watched as Hunter got in his car and started driving.
"Where's he going?" she asked.
"I don't know," Blake said.
Blake got into his car, and followed Hunter. Hunter stopped by the hill, and then walked up to it. Blake stepped out of his car, following his brother.
"What is this place?" she asked.
"This is where I go to think," Hunter said.
"That's cool," Blake said.
The two of them sat together, thinking, and a few moments later, Alice and Tori joined them.
Blake pulled Tori aside and the two talked for a moment, and Hunter and Alice watched their conversation.
"I hope they work it out," Hunter sighed.
"What about us?" Alice asked.
Hunter held onto her hand. "We'll be fine. Better than fine. Golden."
Alice kissed him.
"I tried buying jewelry for you," Hunter said. "It'll get her sometime in the next month."
"Thanks," Alice said.
"I don't need my old memories to remember why you love me," Alice sighed.
The two watched as Blake kissed Tori on the cheek, and then the four sat down together
Tori texted Cam, Shane and Dustin, who arrived shortly after, and the seven of them sat together with their thoughs as they watched the sun set.
The End
