REVISED! Do not read on after this chapter until the next say revised. You may be confused. However, read the Author's Note, I gave a sample of what the Prequel will bring.
I do not own the Power Rangers, however, I do own all characters you do not recognize.
Conner took a seat on Miss Evans' couch between Ethan and Kira with Trent next to Kira. They waited as Miss Evans and Tommy quietly conversed outside on the porch. Conner glared at them through the window.
"I can't believe they're letting is off the hook," said Ethan. "When they caught us, I thought we were done for sure."
Kira nodded in agreement, as she too, watched their teacher's through the window. Maybe they'll be able to explain the humming she would hear every time Miss Evans came within a foot of her. She saw Dr. O pull Miss Evans into a hug and drop a kiss on her forehead. Kira narrowed her eyes in confusion as the two teachers walked into the house. They took seats in the two arm chairs facing the couch. Miss Evans removed her glasses and set them down on the coffee table.
She took a deep breath. "All right," she began. "first off, you must remember, now that you're Power Rangers, anything is possible. So, I'll begin. My name is Ariadne Evans, and I was born in another realm known as the Magical Realm. In that realm, is Camelot. The same Camelot King Arthur ruled over centuries ago. After Arthur's death, Merlin and the Lady of the Lake moved Camelot into the Magical Realm to keep it safe from invading countries, where Arthur and Guinevere's secret son, Arthur II would take over as king." She paused, and looked to each teenager. "Are you guys following?"
"Camelot's in the Magical Realm, where you were born," Trent said with a nod. "Got it."
Miss Evans gave him a small smile. "Good. Now, just over thirty years ago, an ex-knight of the Round Table, Ector Seetanus, awakened the powers of the Ancient Dark Magik to overthrow the Pendragon Crown. In just a few years, Ector became so powerful, that Merlin and Lady Vivienne would not be able to fight off the Dark Magik themselves. They were growing older, so they chose three individuals to hold the powers of the Ancient White Magic. They chose, me, Emma Knight, and Will Pendragon. However, they sent my and Emma's family to this realm for our safety until we were 15 when we would return to Camelot to begin our training. We became known as the Protectors of Camelot. We were trained in archery, fencing, other weaponry, and especially magic." Miss Evans paused again, and glanced at Tommy. "And after two years of training and fighting off Ector, we were sent back to this realm because Vincent Akesh, Ector's second in command, formed an alliance with Divatox, the enemy of the Turbo Power Rangers. That's when I met Tommy."
Tommy nodded. "The Protectors helped us save a wizard named Lerigot and return Vincent and his men back to the Magical Realm."
"Also, during that time," Miss Evans said with a slight blush. "Tommy and I began dating. But, it wasn't too long before I had to return to Camelot. We uh, were able to talk through two-way mirrors, and I was even able to travel back here a couple of times when things were quiet. It was during one of my trips back, when he ended up proposing to me after he had won a NASCAR race."
Tommy's cheeks turned pink as his Ranger's eyes widened. "No way," said Conner.
Miss Evans held up her left hand, showing a white-gold ring with a Peridot set between two small diamonds.
"You guys have to promise to keep this a secret," Tommy told his Rangers. "Ariadne and I must keep our relationship professional during school. To everyone there, we just met, and we plan on keeping it that way to keep unwanted rumors spreading."
The Rangers nodded. "So," said Ethan. "You ended up defeating this Ector guy right?"
Miss Evans nodded. "About three years ago. I would have returned earlier, but I had to help with getting affairs in order, rebuilding cities. Camelot was a mess after the war. We're still somewhat rebuilding."
"I have a question," said Kira. "why is it I hear a humming noise every time you're around, Miss Evans."
Miss Evans gave the yellow ranger a curious look. "Humming noise?" she repeated.
Kira nodded.
Miss Evans shrugged. "Maybe you're Ranger powers are sensing my White Magic powers. I've never heard of that happening before."
"All right guys," said Tommy, rising to his feet. "I think you should get back to school. I'll request to over see your detentions."
"What?" The teens exclaimed.
"Did you think you'd be able to sneak back into school without Randall catching you?" said Tommy.
The Rangers grumbled and got to their feet.
"Hey, wait a minute," Conner turned as he was just about to step out the door. "How are guys able to skip school?"
"Goodbye, Conner," said Tommy, ushering his Rangers out the door.
Trent, Ethan and Kira climbed into Conner's car as their leader took a glance back at the house before he too, slid inside.
"Are you happy now?" said Ethan, who took the front passenger seat. "You got your answers."
Conner turned to the Blue Ranger. "They never said anything about the Green Dragon Ranger."
Tommy sighed as he shut the door to Ariadne's house. He turned to her, and let his gaze linger on her form. She hadn't changed much since the last time he had seen her. Yes, she was a couple years older, but still had traces of the seventeen year old he had met during his last time as a Power Ranger. She had cut her long hair to shoulder length and held a grace that could only be from her experience as a Princess leading her people. She smiled at him and in two strides, he had taken her in his arms, pressing his lips against hers in a long-awaited kiss. She clung to him as butterflies erupted in her stomach and her knees weakened. Cliche? Yes, but when you come from a fairy-tale world like hers, everything is cliche.
"I've waited so long to do that," Tommy muttered against her lips.
Ariadne giggled, but then smacked him on the arm.
"Ow," said Tommy. "What was that for?"
"You cut your hair," she growled.
"You knew I did," he shot back, playfully. "I talked to you before I did it."
"I know," said Ariadne, sliding her arms back around his neck. "But i wasn't able to hit you fit it until now."
Tommy chuckled, and pulled her in for another kiss. "What do you say I make you dinner tonight?" he offered. "We'll have a quiet night, just the two of us."
Ariadne smiled. "I say it sounds amazing. But, let's stay here. After dinner, you can help me un-pack."
Tommy nodded. "Sounds like a date. And maybe, afterwards, we can..." he trailed off with a smirk on his face.
Ariadne rolled her eyes. "Stop it. You know I'm waiting until marriage."
Tommy flashed her a grin. "I know. It's just fun seeing your ears turn red."
Ariadne let out a frustrated sigh and covered her ears. "Damn Irish-Celtic heritage," she mumbled under her breath.
Tommy and Ariadne rummaged through the many trunks in the living room. They had already finished dinner, which was mostly quiet for Tommy had made Ariadne's favorite dish: Lasagna. Tommy was digging through a box full of old notebooks from when Ariadne had attended Ludus Avalonia Academy of Magic.
"So, why didn't you tell the kids you're the Green Ranger," Tommy asked, pushing the box aside, and pulling another one to him.
Ariadne sighed and set down the book she had been holding. "I don't want them to know just yet," she said. "Vincent doesn't know who the Green Ranger is, and in case the kids are kidnapped or something for questioning, they wil be able to truthfully say they don't know who the Green Ranger is. Vincent won't hesitate to use truth potions or spells."
Tommy nodded. "They will find out eventually though," he said with a small smile. "They're smart kids."
"Yeah," said Ariadne. "I know. Um, you do know I don't want to start talking about definite wedding plans until Vincent's gone, right?"
"Yeah," said Tommy. "Besides, Mesagog's at large too. I think we should deal with them before getting married."
Ariadne studied him for a moment. "What?" he asked.
She shook her head. "Nothing. It's just...you're not that shy young man anymore."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No. I like this new Tommy." she moved to sit next to him and slid her arms around his neck. "In fact, I think I may be falling in love, again. If only you would grow out your hair."
Tommy rolled his eyes as Ariadne laughed and kissed his cheek. "Hey, it's getting late," she said, rising to her feet and taking Tommy with her. "Why don't you stay here tonight. I could use a peaceful sleep with my fiance."
Yeah i know, this was relaly fluffy and kind of cheesy, but w/e haha. I wrote the last part of the chapter mostly for me, but also to give you guys a look at their relationship when they're not with the Rangers or anyone else. So, yeah.
Don't forget to REVIEW! haha
