Gia made it to her apartment and went to charge her phone seeing she had plenty of missed calls and messages from Jake, she knew it was their fourth anniversary since they were together after the defeat of the armada army and had graduated from high school then attending college, and also still kept in touch with their friends since they had all parted ways, though she still missed them.

As she was about to call Jake, when the door knocked and went to go open, seeing it was none other than Jake and looked like he wasn't happy.

"Jake. Hey. I was just about to call you." Gia said.

"Took you long enough to see my missed calls and unanswered messages." Jake said.

"I'm sorry, don't think I forgot, because I didn't." Gia said.

"I'll say, I had reservations to one of the most fanciest restaurant in town for our dinner anniversary, and I was waiting for you for hours and you didn't show up, so I had no choice but to cancel it and other things I had planned for the both of us." Jake said.

"I really am sorry Jake, I had a reason why I didn't answer any of your call or messages." Gia said.

"Was it more important than our fourth anniversary?" Jake asked.

"Well..." Gia paused for a minute.

"I think that answers it. I guess I should be going." Jake said, as he was about to leave.

"Jake. Wait." Gia went after him, catching up to him at the elevator and went inside. "Don't be mad at me, I said I was sorry."

"Look, you've apologized enough, Gia. Whatever was the reason you missed out on our anniversary, I don't want to hear it." Jake said, when all of a sudden the elevator stopped. "What just happened?"

"The elevator stopped." Gia said, and tried pressing the emergency call button, but it didn't work. "Oh no. We can't even call for help and no one will ever hear us screaming for help."

"This is just great, I am having the worst day of my life." Jake said.

"That makes two of us." Gia said.

"Why do you say that?" Jake asked.

"It has to do in the reason, why I didn't show up." Gia answered, and sat on the ground.

"I'm listening whenever your ready." Jake said, and sat on the ground.

"Really?" Gia said.

"Yeah. I guess I can't stay mad at you for something unexplained." Jake said.

"Okay then, here's how my day started." Gia said. "I had just got out of work, when my shift ended, so I was heading my way back to my apartment and was about to see the messages you sent me, but my phone was low on battery and had to go charge it, when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around seeing it was Tommy Oliver."

"Whoa. Wait. Tommy Oliver? What was he doing?" Jake asked.

"That's what I wanted to know, so I asked him and he told me there was some sort of danger around town and wanted my help, so I went with him then all of a sudden I was knocked out." Gia answered.

"By that you mean someone had attacked you?" Jake asked.

"More like kidnapped." Gia answered.

"Kidnapped? By who?" Jake asked.

"By Lord Draven, he was kidnapping other rangers from different generations to create an evil army of robots to not only take over the world but other dimensions too." Gia answered.

"If it was that Draven monster who kidnapped you, then how does Tommy fit in all of this?" Jake asked.

"Apparently, it wasn't him, it was a robot version of him to trick us into being captured." Gia explained.

"Oh. That makes sense there, but continue." Jake said.

"Anyway, after we were freed by other rangers we went to go help another team of rangers called the Ninja Steel rangers, to fight off the army of robots, managing to defeat them all and Tommy destroying Draven for good, saving the day and keeping the dimensions away from danger." Gia said.

"Wow. Unbelievable there, and yet I feel bad for not listening to you in the first place." Jake said.

"It's okay, you know I wouldn't miss out on our anniversary, but I'll try and make it up to you." Gia said.

"You don't have to, in fact I owe you an apology I shouldn't been mad at you." Jake said.

"I've already apologized to you enough and I accept your apology." Gia said.

"Look, I usually thought this day would be special, though it didn't turned out how I planned, but I guess this wouldn't be such a bad timing." Jake said.

"A bad timing for what?" Gia asked, as Jake pulled something out of his pocket.

"You have been the most amazing person I have met and known my entire life and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Jake had a little black box in his hand and opened it revealing a ring and Gia was surprised. "Gia Moran. Will you marry me?"

"Jake...I..." Gia was left without words and couldn't answer immediately. "What took you so long?"

"So does that mean..." Jake paused for a minute.

"Yes Jake... I will marry you." Gia said.

"You will. This turned out to be a great day after all." Jake said, and put the ring on Gia's finger then they both kissed happily, when suddenly the elevator started functioning, and opened seeing by surprise their friends here.

"Hey guys." Jake said.

"Surprise seeing you all here." Gia said.

"We were on our way to your apartment Gia, but the elevator wasn't working." Emma said.

"Luckily the maintenance guy didn't leave yet and managed to fix it." Noah said.

"It was going to be a surprise, but I guess it's no longer one." Troy said.

"Hopefully we're not too late, on what you had planned, Jake." Orion said.

"Wait a minute. You guys knew about it?" Gia asked.

"Umm...Jake did you..." Emma was about to ask.

"Well I couldn't wait any longer so I already did." Jake said.

"So you mean that..." Noah was about to ask.

"Yes. Jake proposed to me and I accepted." Gia said and showed the ring on her finger to her friends.

"It was about time Jake, but congrats." Troy said.

"Yeah. You two deserve the best." Orion said.

"I'm so happy for you, Gia. Congratulations." Emma said, as they all hugged them both.

"Thanks everyone, even if it didn't go how I expected, but at least we're happy." Jake said.

"What do you mean by that?" Noah asked.

"Why don't you tell them, Gia." Jake said.

"It's a long story, but let's go to my place and I'll tell you all about it." Gia responded, as everyone was heading inside the elevator and on their way to celebrate Jake and Gia's engagement.
