A/N: Hey, sorry it's been so long but here's the next chapter that might be rated T for some suggestive themes. Not too bad, promise! By the way, thanks for all the love and support but we're not done yet!
"Do you think Kira minds singing later?" Emily asks anxiously as they walk towards her. They had asked-or rather, it was suggested to them-that Kira sing at their wedding. True, she is a signer but she probably wants to enjoy herself at a Power Rangers wedding.
"She said she was fine with it," Jayden assures her. "But you can ask her now, if you want." The Dino Thunder rangers see them coming and wave at them.
"Hey guys," Conner says when they come up. His dreams of becoming a famous soccer player competed with his soccer day camp, but either way he is widely known. Ethan of course is a brilliant scientist of some sort-Emily isn't exactly sure-but he's invented some technology that the SPD rangers, Operation Overdrive rangers and themselves, surprisingly, use to win their battles. And Trent, Kira's husband, is an artist known throughout the country. His pieces are mostly shown at auctions and he occasionally speaks to high school and college artists about their work.
"It's nice to see you," Ethan interjects, smiling at them.
"Me too. I'm glad you could take time out of your being a scientist to come," Emily says. "I heard you're quite dedicated."
"That's an understatement." Conner rolls his eyes. "He doesn't have time for anything anymore. Except for this, of course."
"Hey man, it's not high school," defends Ethan.
"But we should still spend time together after all we've been through. You know, hang out more." Conner argues. Ethan adjusts his tie smartly.
"It's not my fault that I have such long, highly educated, working hours." Kira shakes her head exasperated.
"And this is what I had to deal with for so long," she sighs. But then she smiles. "I'd offer my congratulations, but I'm guessing you've already heard plenty."
"You're right on that," Jayden says. "But I suppose we could hear it one more time." They laugh.
"By the way Kira, I wanted to make sure it was okay that you're singing here. I mean, just since it's your day off I'd think you wouldn't want to," Emily checks. Kira flips her wavy hair over one shoulder, woven–in small feathers barely visible in her dirty blonde hair.
"Oh no, it's fine. Really. I'm an artist, I don't mind doing it on off days. That's like asking Trent to stop drawing everything in sight."
"Hey, I'm not doing it now, am I?" Trent grins, his white tie classy but interesting with creative designs sprawled across the fabric.
"You know what I mean," responds Kira. Her dress is long and yellow, made of layers upon layers of sheer fabric. It's long sleeved with an interesting neckline that looks a little bit like the symbol they wore on their chests when they were rangers. Trent can't seem to take his eyes off her, not unlike Jayden focusing on Emily.
"So how was it working with Tommy? We met him a while ago and seems pretty cool," Jayden comments. Kira giggles while Ethan nods enthusiastically and Conner just shrugs.
"I suppose so. It was kinda weird when we found out though, that he's the oldest living power ranger," Conner says, putting a hand to his chin, remembering the day the truth was revealed.
"You mean the best," Ethan corrects him, quoting Hayley. Conner nudges him gently.
"Whatever dude."
"He was pretty good though, for being out of practice for awhile," Trent offers, intertwining his fingers with Kira. "He definitely was a match for me, for sure."
"Let's not talk about that," Kira hastily says, not wanting to bring up painful memories. Trent just realizes what he's said and winces. He mouths sorry and sets his mouth. Emily and Jayden are a little confused, only knowing that Trent had been evil for a period of time when the white DinoGem had taken over him but decided not to pry.
"It's funny how many colors he's been. Green, red, white, black," Emily counts them off on her fingers. "Red twice actually."
"You're very knowledgeable about ranger history." Ethan gazes at her in admiration as Emily blushes.
"Thanks. It was a requirement and Ji was stern about us learning it."
"Yeah, it annoyed me a little at first but it definitely comes in handy," Jayden chimes in, remembering all those hours spent on Ji's oral drills, but knowing it is definitely worth it.
"I can think of one thing that won't annoy you," Kira says mischievously. The DinoRangers, far too used to the gleam in her eye, are a little wary of what she has to say but Jayden and Emily are genuinely interested.
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Emily asks innocently. Kira winks at her.
"Your honeymoon of course." Jayden and Emily turn to each other and laugh, though they're both blushing slightly. Everyone knows what that's about.
"Actually, we haven't really thought about it too much," Jayden clarifies.
"What about you Kira? What did you and Trent do?" asks Emily sweetly. Conner and Ethan raise their eyebrows as the tables are now turned on the budding songwriter and artist.
"Oh you know. The usual," Kira answers casually.
"We actually went to New York. Since it's where so many people get discovered, we thought we could try our chances there. Guggenheim, Carnegie Hall. It had everything," Trent explains, his eyes reminiscing to his fun time with Kira. "We rented a little apartment that we eventually bought and had the best nights there. Looking out over the sparkling city, we-"
"Okay, that's enough," Ethan interrupts, seeing Emily and Jayden raise their eyebrows and Kira turning a faint shade of red as she pretends to look supremely interested in the other crowds of former rangers.
"Yeah, sounds like a real dream," Emily agrees, her cheeks almost matching Kira. She loves Jayden but even the thought of going on a honeymoon with him-and what comes during the honeymoon-is a little nerve wracking.
"It was nice talking to you anyway," Jayden gets out, trying to hold in his laughter. Conner and Ethan give him looks that clearly say 'we feel for you' as Emily continues to look at the floor along with Kira and Trent is oblivious as ever. Or so it seems.
"I'm kidding," Trent chuckles, running a hand through his dark hair. Emily laughs weakly as she lets out a sigh of relief. Jayden's eyes are snapping with amusement but he just nods and smiles, as he's quite skilled in self-control.
After they bid goodbye and walk away, Kira turns on Trent.
"What was that for? Why'd you have to say that?" Conner and Ethan back away slowly, trying to be nonchalant about it but she catches them.
"Don't worry, you're next." They look miffed.
"But what did we do?" Conner protests. Kira rolls her eyes.
"Everything,"
"Kira, Kira, I was just kidding. I was joking around with them." Trent chuckles at his previous teammates. "You should've seen your faces."
"Trent!" Kira exclaims, whacking him lightly. Conner and Ethan look at each other and roll their eyes.
"Ah, love." They say simultaneously.
