"Okay, one more bite... that's a good boy," Tatsuya cooed as Domon Junior finished another spoonful of his lunch.

"You're awfully good at that," Yuuri remarked appreciatively from her seat on their couch.

"Well, I did help take care of him when it was just me and his mother. And it's good practice for when we have one of our own..."

"I-I mean, if we plan to have one, we should probably get married first though, obviously, since we're engaged and all--"

The look Yuuri gave him wasn't quite as appreciative as the last one. "Finish feeding the baby, Tatsuya."

He did what he was told.

"Speaking of Honami," she began again as she went to the kitchen, grabbing a drink from the fridge. "Where is she? I know she's at some photo shoot, but I don't think anyone told me the specifics."

Tatsuya gave Junior a knowing look. "Well, you know how Ayase's taken the racing circuit by storm?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, he's being interviewed today for a magazine, and he asked for her to take the photos."

Yuuri took a sip. Ayase and Honami, huh? Considering their past together, that should be interesting. It would probably be best not to mention it to Domon right away, though. And now that she thought about it...

"Why didn't she just ask Domon and Sion to baby-sit again?"

He looked at her, smiling. "Oh, didn't you know? They're on vacation."

Sion pushed a lock of green hair behind his ear. "I wonder what's going to happen to us now."

Domon picked up a suitcase in each hand. "Well, you've graduated from high school. And I still have my job-- I'll be using my real name now, but I'm keeping the Kijima part. Anything's better than Tarou." He didn't add the part that he still had a soft spot for the old man he had thought was his grandfather.

"Speak for yourself. I'd already applied to universities as Midorikawa Shin."

"Well, just tell everyone that Sion's your nickname."

"I could, couldn't I?" He squeezed Domon's arm as they headed for the taxi. "I'm looking forward to seeing Tachibana-san again. Do you think the place has changed any?"

"I wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as we're all together, we can handle any change."

Final Notes: ... And it's done. The longest fan fic I've ever written is finished. What started as simply an attempt to get Domon and Sion together in a way that worked with post-series canon and acknowledged Honami wound up becoming something more (or at least, I like to think it did). You may notice that some characters were absent (most notably Naoto and Lila). That was intentional. I'm already playing with the idea of a sequel, so I decided to save anything I would do with them for that if the idea pans out. That, and the main focus of the fic was to get the five of them back. I can't say the sequel is a definite thing, but I am working on some 'missing scene' fics, that will hopefully expand on the plot (Daichi and Shin's gradual attraction to each other, Ryuuta's scheming, and so on).

I will go ahead and answer what will probably be the big question: why doesn't Ryuuta use his Time Fire changer to power up the teleportation device? It took a lot of energy to build it in the first place, which was why he needed all four changers. Just his isn't enough. So yeah, he's stuck there for awhile at least. I hope he brought a snack.

About when this fic takes place: I gotta admit, I'm a little foggy about it myself. It starts about a month after the finale, which means Daichi met Shin early March 2002. His grandfather died in April, and the main events with Ryuuta took place in May. The epilogue takes place a month later; I'd say late June 2002. Hopefully, that gives you a rough idea of the progression of events.

And about the Once Upon a Timerangers' surnames (if you have a better term, I'd love to hear it), I'm pretty sure everyone else had figured it out by now, but they're all from previous sentai heroes. Momozono, Aoyama, and Kijima were Goggle Pink, Goggle Blue, and Goggle Yellow respectively. The one exception is Midorikawa, who was Denji Green (there was no Green in Goggle V). The first names were chosen just because they sound vaguely familiar to their real ones.

Anyways, thanks to anyone who read this, and I hoped you liked it. Feel free to ask me about any questions or comments you have.
