Been a long road, but here is the final chapter of this revision!


Many Years later after Operation Overdrive's "Once Upon a Ranger" episode….

Justin drove down the dark road leading toward the house belonging to his friend and cousin. He hadn't seen Tommy or Hayley since the engagement party over a year ago at Christmas. Schooling took a lot of his free time away. though he still managed to somehow keep his grades good and still lead a double live making sure the morphing grid was ok, as well as keep Tommy's history of the Power Rangers up to date. This was his first summer break in a while, as well as his last because of graduation next spring. He hoped he could spend it with his teen superstar girlfriend. There were times when he wondered how they'd managed to stay together all these years, given him with schooling and her with her rising career. The fact that he was going to be head computer technician at a big government agency right after graduation helped, as he had a very flexible schedule which allowed him more time with her. A certain ringtone brought him back from his thoughts to reality a little.

"Hey, Babe!" He answered with a smile on his face.

"Seriously? You know I hate being called 'babe'."

"Maybe Conner has rubbed off on me."

"Now there's a scary thought." She said, causing them both to laugh. "So, how's it going?"

"Great. Almost home for the summer."

"Did you see the news?"

"Yeah. Great Job."

"Thanks. Hey, where are you?"

"I'm about to head over to Tommy's house."

"Great. That's where we all are."

"We?"

"Yeah. Conner, Ethan, and Trent are in town as well. Then maybe afterward we can have some together time. You know I've missed seeing you while I've been on tour."

"Yeah, I've missed you too. But sounds great. Storm Blaster and I will be there soon." To which Storm Blaster blinked in response. When they got there, Kira was outside on the porch steps.

"Hey, stranger." She said, kissing him. When she parted, she added, "It's great to see you too, Storm Blaster." Storm Blaster responded.

"I still can't believe he's still running." She said as they walked toward the house.

"He's an alien, what do you expect?"

"So, we have a surprise for you."

"Surprise?"

"Yeah. Come on!" Kira told him, leading him through a door.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted. Justin couldn't believe is eyes; all of his friends from Turbo were gathered in the room. All of them from the first time he joined plus Rocky and Alpha. He noticed a diamond ring on Tanya's left finger and wondered how long it accompanied that space, wondering if Adam had given it to her. Kat looked as beautiful as ever.

"What… Kira, what is this?" He asked, finally getting words out.

"Well in case you forgot, I bumped in to Adam while I was helping Operation Overdrive and brought him back here to visit before he and Alpha returned to Angel Grove. Turns out while he and Doctor O were catching up, we found out he had some contacts with the others. Tommy told him about you and your struggles after they all had left; so they decided it was about time you all were reunited after all these years. They're all here for a while, cause let's face it a weekend is just not enough time."

For the next few hours the first group of Turbo Rangers caught up. Rocky may not have been the apart of Turbo, but he still hung around with them and Justin still considered him a friend. Katherine became a teacher at the American Ballet Company. She and Tanya occasionally saw each other when Tanya came to town for a concert, or something or other. And of course Katherine was the first to know of her engagement to Adam. Adam and Tanya had traveled their separate ways after graduation, but reconnected 2 years ago. Right before Adam left to help out with the Operation Overdrive crew, he had proposed to Tanya. Rocky hadn't had such a good life as the others. After Justin had taken his place, he wasn't sure where he belonged. He tried many things, but eventually he started his own after school program somewhere in one of the troubled parts of Chicago. Within a year, it had gotten recognition from major places, which put him on the news. Justin remembered seeing something on that and was half tempted to runaway to go live with him at one point. Of course, Haley changed all that.

As everyone wound down from the excitement of the night, Kira and Justin walked outside for some fresh air.

"Do you know how amazing you are?" He asked her, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"I can take a guess."

"Seriously, if you hadn't made an effort to get to know me, I don't know where I'd be right now; probably still pissed off at Tommy and the others."

"Really? I had that big an impact on you."

"Small gestures can make the biggest difference in someone's life, even if the person doesn't it. I mean look at Cassidy. Eventually treating her like a friend, opened her eyes and she changed for the better."

"Wow. I never thought you'd ever use Cassidy as a positive example for anything." Kira joked.

"Yo, Justin. When are you going to quit stalling and ask her? Your delaying the inevitable is getting annoying in here!" Trent called which received him a murderous look from his friend. Two years after Dino Thunder, Trent finally had gotten over Kira and his friendship with Justin began again.

"Ask me?" She gave him a questioning look. "Ask me what?"

Dropping to one knee, he asked, "Kira Ford, will you marry me?" Kira tearfully said "yes" and kissed Justin.

Justin Stewart, the boy who once believed his only friend in the world was a broken blue alien jeep, had finally found what he had lost. The once curse on his life had brought him so much luck and joy. And the future kept looking brighter from there.


I know this is also in my other story "Falling for the Yellow Pterodactyl", but it was this ending that inspired me to write that one. I just revised it as I wrote that story, and thus revised this story. So I'm not copyrighting anything because it's my own writing and such! Just wanted to throw that out there for the jerks I know who are on this site.

Thanks to all the reviewers, followers, people who favorited this, and anyone else I'm forgetting. I'd write your names out, but I'm really lazy this morning. Plus in the last few days I've gotten a LOT of reviews. So thanks to all of you! Means a lot.
