Chapter Six

After listening to Nicole as she told them her story; Tommy, Kat, & the rest of the former rangers were amazed at how many teams she had mentored.

A few weeks later, Spring Break arrived & it was time to head to Angel Grove. Tommy & Kat took his jeep while Nicole went with Trent in his white Aston Martin V12 Vanquish as Kira & Ethan rode with Conner in his car. But before their trip to Angel Grove begun, Nicole had another vision of Kat finding something that lead her to join the team finally. It was the pink Dino Gem & she found it near Tommy's house while on a walk. When Kat picked it up, the Dino Gem started glowing like a beacon of light as the sound of the phoenix calling out.

Nicole: "Ouch! Not another throbbing headache. I seriously don't need them again."

Tommy: "What did you see this time, Nicole?"

Nicole: "I saw who was joining the team finally. Though it didn't surprise me at all."

Tommy: "Who is it?"

Nicole: "It's Kat! She's our new pink ranger."

Kat: "I'm the pink ranger! What's my zord?"

Nicole: "You command the phoenix."

Kat: "It'll take some time getting used to it."

Nicole: "You'll be fine, Kat!"

Tommy: "At least you'll be up in the air like Trent & Kira."

Kat: "That's true. It'll be great to be flying again."

Just like in Nicole's vision, Kat did end up taking a walk around Tommy's house & found her Dino Gem. Luckily Hayley & Billy had her morpher ready for her after she retrieved her gem. Kat decided to give it a shot at morphing once again. Her morpher transformed into her phoenix with the flick of her wrist.

Kat: "Dino Thunder Power Up!"

Like all the other rangers, her ranger suit appeared on her body as well as her helmet. When the light had died down, everyone turned to see the new pink ranger. Kat took a look at her ranger suit & was glad that it had a skirt like Kira's. Nicole & Kira were glad to have another female on the team besides them two. Just then, a beeping sound came from nowhere until Nicole pulled out the two narrow rods. She set them up & pressed down the button to activate. It revealed a grinning Trip once he saw Nicole. She smiled back at him.

Nicole: "Hey Trip! What can I do for you?"

Trip: "I just got back from talking to Alex. He said that it was fine with him. So we'll be heading for the Time Ship & landing on the beach in Silver Hills."

Nicole: "That's great Trip. I'll contact Wes & Eric to meet you guys at the beach."

Trip: "Okay Nicole. We'll see you soon."

Nicole: "Later Trip!"

After signing off, Nicole grabbed her cell phone & called Wes. He answered her call on the second ring.

Wes: "Hey Nicole! How are you?"

Nicole: "I'm doing good Wes. How about you?"

Wes: "I'm just chilling."

Nicole: "How's Eric anyway?"

Wes: "I bet you didn't know."

Nicole: "Know what Wes?"

Wes: "Eric is dating Taylor now."

Nicole (laughing): "It's about…bloody time!"

Wes: "What can I do for you?"

Nicole: "I just heard from Trip. He's coming with the rest of the team in the Time Ship & will be landing on the beach soon. I told him that you'll be picking them up."

Wes: "Are you serious?"

Nicole: "Do you think I'm kidding? I know how you've been missing Jen & so I thought that this reunion would be great for everyone to catch up."

Wes: "Thank you so much Nicole. I owe you a huge one. I'll call Eric & have him meet me there."

Nicole: "You're welcome Wes! Have fun!"

Nicole ended her call with Wes & turned to the others. She started to giggle a bit before breaking out into laughter.

Tommy: "What's so funny Nicole?"

Nicole: "I just heard from Wes that Eric's finally dating Taylor. It's about bloody time too."

Tommy & Jason both chuckled at the Silver Guardian finally asking the former Air Force officer out.

Finally they've all arrived back in Angel Grove. Jason, Kim, Billy, Zack, Rocky, Aisha, Adam, Tanya, & Justin had already left for Angel Grove two days before Tommy, Kat, Nicole, Trent, Conner, Ethan, & Kira showed. Since Wes is a very generous guy, he booked all the rangers that were coming at the Hilton Hotel. Even Conner, Ethan, & Kira were staying there too. Trent is staying with Tommy & Nicole at their parent's place while Kat went to live with her's.

Once everybody got settled in, they headed to the Youth Center where the former ranger's like to hang out after school. Since some of them won't be arriving till later on in the day or not even until tomorrow. It was nice to take a walk down memory lane.

Nicole: "Hey Tommy! Remember this was where we first met Jason & them."

Tommy: "Man that was a long time ago! It felt like it was yesterday."

Nicole: "Not only that but this was also the place where you first laid eyes on Kat."

Tommy: "I was blown away. Even to this day I can still remember what she wore. She had on a light pink shirt with a white jean vest over it & blue jeans."

Kat: "I'm surprised you can still remember that."

Nicole: "You be amazed at what else he can remember Kat."

Trent: "How about some of your favorite memories?"

Nicole: "My favorite memories. I remember when Bulk & Skull told everyone that they caught the identities of the Power Rangers on tape. We were worried that our secret would be exposed. But with some quick thinking from Billy, he had Jason distract them while Zack went to swap the tape out with a different one."

Tommy: "I remember that one. It was a close call on though."

Nicole: "Another favorite memory of mine is when Tommy finally asked Kat out on a date."

Tommy: "You really do enjoy embarrassing me, don't you?"

Nicole: "I do."

Kat giggled at them two. Tommy & Nicole always had a very close bond together. It was like an unbreakable bond between them two. They've always watched each other's back no matter what.
