You seem a little Dark 4

"Study the darkness," Jayden instructed his girlfriend as they walked, "if it quivers, investigate."

As they did that, Emily spoke to him, "So…do you ever miss Starr?"

"Yeah," he nodded, "she seemed really cool. I just wish I could have known her better. Then I met Wesley and…yeah."

"Did you like it when she kissed you?" Emily asked suddenly.

"I guess," Jayden shrugged, "but you're the only one for me."

"Good," she kissed his cheek. She could barely see it, but Emily saw a flicker in the darkness of a tree. The Yellow Ranger went to the darkness and studied it.

"Hello?" she asked, "anybody there?"

"Yeah," a voice sighed after a minute of silence, "you got me."

A girl about Emily's age, which was a year younger than Jayden, emerged out of the darkness. She had midnight hair just below her armpits and cunning dark green eyes. Her outfit was a black tank top, torn blue jeans, and black leather boots. She wore a silver necklace with an odd looking symbol on it and silver studs in her ears.

"Hey," she shyly waved to Jayden, "remember me?"

Jayden broke into a wide grin as he exclaimed, "Starr?"

"How many other Starr's do you know?" she smiled, opening her arms for a hug.

"I'm so glad to see you," he smiled as the two did a friendly hug.

"You've gotten taller and…buff," Starr commented.

"You've gotten tall and…dark," Jayden held his hands to her.

"Long story," Starr laughed before she looked at Emily, "who's that?"

"Starr, I'd like you to meet my teammate and girlfriend, Emily. Emily, I'd like to meet my old friend, Starr," Jayden announced.

"Hi," the two waved shyly.

"So, what have you been up to the last…eleven years?" Jayden asked Starr.

"Well, I took your advice," she told the Red Ranger, "and I…Well, let me show you."

She presented her awesome moves and plans for battle. Jayden and Emily clapped as she wiped her forehead.

"I've also gotten more self-confident," Starr continued, "and mastered my powers more thoroughly."

"Nice job," Jayden grinned at her.

"But the biggest news has happened in the last year," Starr smiled at him.

She turned around to the shadows/darkness and motioned for somebody to come on. Slowly, a girl about Starr's age melted out of the shadows. She had dark brown hair below her shoulder blades and wide, mysterious, dark blue eyes. From the canopy a girl dripped from the lowering darkness.

She had dark red hair to her shoulders and eyes like coco. The second girl wore a dark blue t-shirt, black tights, and white sandles. The third wore a dark purple t-shirt, blue jeans like Starr's, and brown z-straps. The three were the same age, and they all gazed at the two.

"Jayden, Emily," Starr smiled, "I would like you to meet Twilight and Nikki."

She pointed to the two in order for their names. Twilight stood a little closer to Starr as Nikki looked then over.

"They seem a little bright," she grumbled.

"Oh, come on," Starr smiled to her, "Twilight and I are a little brighter than you. Give them a chance."

"So….friends of yours?" Jayden guessed.

"More than that," Starr's eyes shone with excitement, "they're my team. We're The Dark Rangers."
