Chapter 2- Arrivals Pt. 1
(Angel Grove Airport)
Jason Scott and his wife Trini were waiting at gate 7 for Jason's cousin Flynn to arrive from Scotland when Trini caught a glimpse of her best friend in the crowd not far from her.
"Kim?" She asked.
"Trini, Jason, what are you guys doing here?" Kimberly Oliver questioned.
"Picking up my cousin Flynn, what about you? Where's your herd of munchkins?" Jason chuckled.
"Kira is watching Syd for us and Emily is at a friend's house. I'm here picking up my spoiled cousin Summer; mom had a meeting and couldn't do it so I got landed with the chore." Kim groaned.
"Don't sound so happy Kim someone might think you actually like her." Tommy laughed at his wife.
(Luggage Pick up)
Summer and Scott had just found the last of their bags and were about to walk away when someone bumped into Scott.
"I'm sorry, guess I wasn't paying attention very well." Flynn McAlister apologized.
"No big deal, nobody was hurt. I'm Scott; this is my best friend and girlfriend Summer."
"Flynn McAlister, I'm sorry but you guys look really familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?"
"Ever been to West Virginia?" Summer asked. She really just wanted to get out of this airport.
"Can't say I have; I'm from Scotland. Meeting my cousin Jason here."
The three continued to talk as they started walking towards gate 7 unknowing that their rides were all talking. Summer knew that she was going to be staying with Kim and her family for the visit and really didn't want to so she was texting her mom about staying at the hotel with Scott. Kim and Summer never got along well since Summer always acted spoiled because her daddy bought her whatever she wanted and Kim always came off as a valley girl with a thing for gymnastics. When they got to the gate Summer was surprised to see Kim's husband Tommy standing there as well; he never came to any of the reunions that Kim's family had so this was Summer's first time seeing him in person.
"Kimberly, Tommy." Summer said upon seeing them. She held Scott's hand afraid that they would get separated in the crowd.
"Summer, good to see you. This must be Scott; your parents said that you were bringing a friend with you to the reunion. Are you two ready to go?"
"Yeah, can we go to the hotel first? Scott is supposed to meet his cousin there."
"Sure, we are going to grab a bite to eat at the Juice Bar after a while. You are more than welcome to come along Scott." Tommy spoke for the first time since Summer's arrival.
"I'll have to talk to my cousin about it.''
As soon as Kim was done talking to Trini they headed out to the car and left. Summer decided to sit quietly for a while before trying to ask Kim if Scott could stay with them.
(With Jason and Flynn)
"So Flynn, what brings you to California?" Jason asked his young cousin as they loaded the last of his bags.
Flynn shrugged, "not sure really. Just wanted a change I guess. Hoping to get some answers to these weird dreams I've been having."
Trini was trying to give the two sometime to get to know each other had caught the last bit about the dreams. After Trini returned to the states from her time at the Peace Summit she decided to become a phycologist and specializes in dreams.
"What kind of dreams?"
"Just strange ones. Those two people I walked over with for instance; I swear I know them from somewhere but I have never seen them in my life. Then I get flashes of what look like robots and three colored suits fighting them. I know it sounds crazy but I know what I saw." Flynn explained.
"Flynn, never ever think you are crazy. Especially around us ok?" Jason spoke slightly concerned for his cousin. The only robots he had ever come across as a ranger himself were the machine empire and they were destroyed. Weren't they?
As they continued to drive Trini had received a call from Billy asking her to come by. Something about strange dreams and robots. This was all getting way too weird for Jason and so they all agreed to call the others and meet at the Juice Bar like they had planned with Kim and Tommy.
(Kim and Summer)
The car ride to the hotel had gone from silent to hostile. Summer hated her cousin more with every second.
"Why can't he stay with me at your place?"
"How about the fact that it's my house, I said no, and I don't have the space without him sleeping on the couch. Emily has her and Kira's room and Syd has hers. I'm not kicking either of them out of their rooms Summer. I'm sorry he'll have to stay with his cousin or the hotel. That's my final say on the matter."
"Aunt Carrie let Tommy stay with you! What's the difference?" Summer snapped at her cousin even though Scott was trying to soothe her.
"Tommy and I were together for over a year before he stayed the night with me and you guys have been together for a little over a month."
Tommy pulled into the hotel parking lot and saw a familiar face.
"Hey look, its T.J."
"Thomas James, I don't care if the world is about to be taken over by robots you are not going on another trip. Forget it." Kim said as they got out of the car and started walking towards T.J.
"Relax Kim; I'm just here to pick up my cousin no outer space adventure this time." T.J. winked at Tommy which got him a slap from Kim.
"Teej! This is my girlfriend Summer." Scott introduced his still hotheaded girlfriend.
"Pleasure." Summer coolly spoke still glaring at her cousin.
"Ignore her T.J. she's just mad I won't let Scott stay at the house with her."
"Tell you what, I understand you guys are still new to this relationship and don't want to be separated. How about I take these two and you guys go pick up the girls and we all meet up at the Juice Bar later?"
Kim was slightly hesitant to agree to this considering she knew how Summer could be and didn't want her to lash at T.J. Tommy took Kim's silence as her worrying about Summer's temper and decided to let her go knowing that if T.J. had a problem he'd call. Summer left with Scott and his cousin while Kim called Kira to let her know that they were on their way to pick up Syd and then sent a text to her niece Emily to have her meet them at the Juice Bar.
