Wes, Trip and Lucas the three male time force rangers were tired. They were tired of all this drama and they decided to hell with it…they should just go to the clock tower. Maybe, when all the drama was done everyone will act normally and hang out in the clock tower. The three resignedly walked toward the clock tower eager to put their minds at ease.

"On the way, can we buy some pizza?" asked Trip

"Well now that you mention it, I am getting a little hungry." Said Wes

"Is that why you were turning red when your stomach starting making noises when Jen was here." Said Lucas smugly

"Shut up, boy that is in love with Trini. OOOh I wonder what she would do when she hears about your wittle crush. " Said Wes hotly, he was just teasing Lucas

"Jen got you so whipped, that if I asked her to order you to shut up and stay locked inside a room all day, I can easily see you smiling and doing it. " said Lucas spitefully

Before Wes could answer, another figure had approached the boys…it was Eric.

"Well, well, well if it isn't the three stooges walking to their straw hut tower. " said Eric

"Hey Eric." Said Trip sweetly, he liked Eric as a friend, he thought that there was more to the man than his menacing attitude.

"What's up losers?" asked Eric

"Is there something you want? Usually the "hey losers" greeting would be followed by you walking pass us" said Lucas

Wes nodded his head he looked at Eric. Wes and Eric went to school together. Wes was the spoiled rich boy while Eric was the strong pauper boy in school…there was a lot of history under their bridge. The boys never had a close relationship. In fact, Eric sometimes resented Wes because Wes never used his power as a trust fund baby, as a member of the Collins family, to the fullest potential. Eric believed that Wes never seemed to have to work hard for anything. Wes still got to be a ranger, even when he barely worked to get it. Eric on the other hand, worked his ass off and had to steal the Quantum Ranger powers before becoming a ranger. Life sure sucks doesn't it?

"He's right, what's up Eric?" asked Wes, for although Wes knew Eric resented him…Wes still was nice to him. Wes admired Eric because he worked hard to be where he was today as a ranger and as a silver guardian police force person. Wes vowed to himself before that he would try his hardest to make Eric like him.

"Do you know if there are any newcomers in this neighborhood?" asked Eric

"Yeah, isn't Silver Hills a tourist place anyway…you know home of the rangers?" asked Lucas sarcastically

"Right. Well do you guys know two people by the name of Jason and Kim?" asked Eric warily

"Yeah we have ---" answered Wes but he was interrupted by Trip

"They're so nice…" said Trip

"You know them?" asked Wes

"I bumped into both and they seem decent. Do they work with you?" asked Eric

"Why the sudden interest Eric, Kim caught your eye?" asked Lucas who was trying to rile up Eric

"Lucas..stop" said Trip worriedly he didn't want anything to start, he continued "Yeah we know them…do you want to hang out with us now, they may come by later?"

"Forget it, I'll leave I'll see you guys around." Said Eric

When Eric was walking away, he stopped when he heard Wes' voice calling him back.

"Eric regardless of Jason or Kim being there or not, you are always welcome here." Said Wes

Eric nodded and walked away. The three time force boys continued walking to the clock tower.

Jen and Trini were inside the painting store now. They were relieved that their boss was on vacation, otherwise they would have to answer to the fact that everyone is leaving as they pleased, chasing away customers and the impending arguments that erupted between the fellow employees.

"What's taking them so long?" asked Jen impatiently

"Jen, they should be here any minute and then you get to grovel, beg and plead for some good old fashion forgiveness. Anxious, are you?"asked Trini

"You are so happy that I'm going to apologize aren't you?" asked Jen teasingly

"Maybe, I am enjoying this too much but…its good to see you like this." Said Trini

"See Jen like what?" asked Katie as she, Kim, Zach, and Jason walked into the painting store.

"How the hell did we not hear the door, when they were coming in?" asked Jen

"Stop switching the subject." Said Trini

"Ohhh it's so good to hear Trini nagging someone, its so good to see you okay Tri" said Kim as she ran to her best friend

"Jason, Zach give me a hug too.. stop staring at me, like I'm glass that's to fragile to be touched." Said Trini

"Well excuse us miss thang, but you had us worried" answered Zach

"Sis, shad up. It's my job to worry, plus you are acting weird these days." Said Jason

"I'm acting weird…" said Trini

"Almost as weird as Kim, you are not acting like yourself sometimes. " said Jason

"Yeah I agree…" Kim said but then she smacked Jason when she realized he had insulted her too..

Jen whistled to grab their attention. She was smiling nervously. She started to stare at Katie and Zach in particular.

"There's something I should say. I hate doing this because lets face it I am not the most humble person. I hardly do this and I hate that the only impression you guys really have of me is that I don't want you here. " said Jen as she danced around the subject

"Spit it out pinky successor." Said Kim cheekily

"Ughhh Kim don't annoy me now, when I'm trying to apologize." Said Jen hotly

Everyone except Trini looked startled. Jen continued "I am sorry guys, I am so sorry. I do want you guys here but at the same time I don't. I like all of you but it's a personal reason. Something I can't ever reveal to you. Don't give me that look. The less than personal reason why I have been giving you guys a hard time is that there is a time traveling law that we should not associate with people of a different time period. Why with Wes? Because we need him to be the red ranger."

"This is an apology?" asked Zach

"I'm getting to it… you all deserve better and I will try to be nicer. You guys are good influences for my team mates and I'm sorry I hurt you Zach. Katie, I'm so sorry for making it seem like you didn't care about our duty. You more than the rest of us have a family in he future to go back to that loves you unconditionally and I KNOW you are working hard to fight for them. So you can get to them as soon as possible. You guys can have fun and I'm sorry." Said Jen

Katie looked stunned. She never heard Jen apologize before.

"Apology more than accepted. I know you have a lot on your plate Jen as our leader and I'm sorry too." Said Katie

The two girls hugged. Katie was hugging Jen so fiercely that Jen could hardly breathe but when Jen reminded her that she needed to breathe, Katie released Jen. Then Katie hugged her again, and Trini and Kim joined in.

"Nicee some girl action, Zach all our years of yearning has paid off." Said Jason as he high five Zach

"Playa I wish we had a mud pool and a camera." Said Zach

The girls stiffened when they heard this. Then Kim yelled "Oh yeah, girls attack!"

The girls chased the boys around the store. There was laughter and happiness in their expressions. Then a robot appeared that flew outside near the store, which said softly "just the way it's supposed to be"
