Nikki ran in a panic as she held Willa's bedsheets close to her. She was trying to reach the washer, with enough time to open the door for Aiden. She threw the clothes and closed the lid in a hurry. Nikki turned and ran to the door.
"Hello Aiden." She smiled.
He frowned. "Why are you here?"
"Why are any of us here?" Nikki joked.
Aiden raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't Willa hate you."
"Every teenage girl hates me, that's not the point. Willa's taking a shower she'll be out in a minute." Nikki said.
Hopefully she'll have enough time to wash off the blood and regret. Nikki thought.
Nikki noticed that he had some flowers behind his back.
"Are those sunflowers? Honey if you won't any action you better get roses and chocolate." Nikki said.
Aiden smirked. "And if you knew Willa you would know that she thinks roses are cliché and that sunflowers are prettier."
"You remembered?" Willa said.
Aiden smiled and looked at Willa standing by the stairs. She wore light blue pajamas and her curly hair was dripping wet.
"Willa I'm sorry for yesterday, and for everything I've done. I'm stupid for not treating you like the beautiful queen you are. I…I love you. Please forgive me." Aiden said.
"Shit." Nikki muttered.
She turned to look at Willa. She was still trying to process Aiden saying the L word to her. She had to tell him. But he would hate her if she told him. And he'd probably try and kill Ethan. This was all her fault, she just had to figure out a way to make this right.
"I love you too." Willa said.
Aiden smiled while Nikki sighed. "So tonight this ranger from New China is throwing a party. I was wondering if you wanted to be my date." He smiled.
Willa nodded awkwardly. Ethan would probably be there too. She was screwed.
"Well since I don't have any arm candy, I'll just third wheel you two." Nikki said.
"I got a good feeling about tonight." Aiden smiled.
"Yep, I'm sure you Aiden." Nikki sighed.
"So you wanted to talk." Owen said awkwardly.
They didn't have sex so she wasn't pregnant, that also meant she didn't get an STD. Technically they weren't together so she couldn't break up with him.
"Owen…I don't know if I want a relationship. It's not you, well it kind of is actually. You were dead. And I mourned you, and now you're alive. And I have so much stuff going on in my life right now, I don't think I can handle a relationship." Josie sighed.
Owen frowned. "I understand." He said bitterly.
"No you don't." Josie said.
"What are you reading my aura?" He demanded.
"No, Owen I just know you." She said.
"And I know you Josephine. I know who you really are. If you don't want to be in a relationship fine. Just don't expect me to be waiting around for you." Owen said as he stormed off.
Josie sighed and sat down. "Boys are so dramatic."
"Welcome everyone to my party!" Katie cheered.
The first people to arrive were Sasha, Nina, Horatio, and Victor. They looked at Katie awkwardly. The wallflowers weren't used to her flamboyant nature.
"My name's Sasha, I'm the silver ranger on the Greek Heroes Team." Sasha said.
Katie smiled. "I like you name, nice to meet you."
Nina stepped forward next. "I'm Nina, I'm the crimson ranger."
"I'm Victor and I'm the brown ranger." Victor smiled.
Katie couldn't help but snort. "There's a brown power ranger?" She burst out into laughter causing Victor to frown.
"I'm sorry, it's just never in my life have I heard of something like that. I guess since you come from a team of like fourteen or something, I can let that slide." Katie said.
Horatio shook her hand. "Horatio, not a ranger, just an ally to the team."
"A cute ally at that." Katie smirked.
"Well it's nice to meet you all. Alcoholic beverages are in the cooler, non-alcoholic beverages are in the fridge. Snacks are in the kitchen, so enjoy."
The next people to arrive were Zach, Austin, Kari, Willa, Aiden, and Nikki.
She smirked when she saw Austin.
"Why did no one tell me your yellow ranger was hot? We have something in common!" Katie cheered.
She shook his hand. "What's you name cutie?"
He blushed. "Austin, I actually have a girlfriend."
Katie laughed. "You can stop blushing, I'm just playing around with you. You're not my type anyway."
She turned to Nikki. "It's been forever since I've seen you. New China high hasn't been the same without you starting senseless drama."
"I know I made that boring town interesting. I didn't see you at cheer camp this year." Nikki said.
"Yeah the cheerleaders at my school are sort of, pardon my French, bitches." Katie said.
She turned to Zach. "I see you're the leader, the one that cheated on his girlfriend and caused a school wide fight." She said.
He groaned. "I guess I have reputation."
"Well your sex tape is kind of everywhere." Katie chuckled.
She turned to Willa and Aiden. "You two make a cute couple." She smiled.
"We do, don't we." Willa said quietly.
Katie noticed this and frowned. She looked like someone kicked her puppy. Then ran over it. Then sat it on fire.
She moved on to Kari. "Hey there, I'm Katie nice to meet you."
Kari smiled. "Yeah…um your home is really nice."
The door opened and Owen showed up.
"Hey Owen, these are some of the Greek Heroes." Katie smiled.
Owen didn't give them a second look and marched over to Katie.
"Where's the beer?" Owen said.
"In the cooler, the limit is two bottles, I don't need anyone getting blackout drunk tonight." Katie said.
Owen leaned close to her and started to say something in Spanish in her ear. Katie groaned and pushed him off.
"What the hell are you doing?" Katie said.
"I was just seeing if you wanted to have our own party." Owen flirted.
"Nice try, you're cue, but I don't need any more drama in my love life." Katie said.
Owen groaned. "Fine." He stormed into the kitchen.
"First Josie, now Katie, am I losing my touch. By now girls would be pushing each other out of line to speak to me." Owen said.
"Maybe the problem is you talk to yourself." Nikki observed.
Owen looked up at Nikki. "Who are you?"
"The name's Nikki, let me guess you're Owen right. Weren't you dead?" Nikki said.
"Weren't you on a sex tape?" Owen smirked.
"Why does everyone keep bringing that up? Surely people have better things to be talking about." Nikki said.
"Well it's proably because you're so pretty." Owen smiled.
Nikki smirked. "This is true, you're not so bad yourself Mr. Perez."
After an hour everyone arrived. Tiana and Z were currently dancing while Alex watched them from the couch. Willa and Aiden were playing beer pong against Aqua and Calev. Meanwhile Madison was talking about fashion with Katie and Anna. A couple feet over Sasha, Kari, Austin, and Victor were eating some pretzels. Zach was currently talking to Caden about the football team, while Ashtin looked on, bored.
Lucy and Michelle sat at the table with Andy and Aang.
"This isn't so bad, my first high school party and it's turning out pretty good." Aang smiled.
"What did you expect you happen?" Andy asked.
"I don't know, fighting, dramatic reveals of secrets. That's what happens in all the movies I watch." Aang said.
"So last month was your first time going to school? You're lucky." Lucy smiled.
"Speaking of lucky, Michelle there are some dudes checking you out." Andy smirked.
Michelle looked and saw Zach and Cyrus checking her out.
"Jesus, I already talked to Cyrus, I don't know who that other guy is." Michelle said.
Lucy couldn't help but feel jealous. They've been at a party for ten minutes and guys were already noticing Michelle. It's always been like this, even though Michelle was quiet and antisocial, boys still tried to go out of their way to talk to her. Meanwhile Lucy searched for ways for boys to notice her and Michelle just got them without even trying.
Cyrus made his way over and smirked. "Ladies." He turned to Aang. "Hey Aang."
He looked at Michelle. "Want to dance?"
Michelle rolled her eyes. "No thank you."
Lucy decided to take this opportunity. "If you want I'll dance with you."
Cyrus shrugged. "Sure." He took Lucy's hand and they made your way to the dance floor.
"Are you okay with that?" Aang asked.
Michelle nodded, feeling slightly defeated. "I don't like him."
Andy looked over and saw George and Dani talking. She growled. "I can't believe he brought her as a date."
"He said they were just friends." Michelle reasoned.
"You believe that shit? If a guy and a girl show up at a party together it means something." Andy said.
"I don't think it does. I really think they're just friends. Maybe you should try talking to him." Michelle said.
"Are you crazy? You never give a guy the satisfaction of knowing you are thinking about him." Andy said.
"Isn't that the whole point of relationships?" Aang asked.
"Aang you have so much to learn." Andy said.
Andy then paused. Maybe trying their talking strategy might work. Her parents always said communication saved their marriage. Maybe communication can help her get the guy she liked.
She got up and walked over to him. "George can I talk to you in private?"
He nodded and followed her. "What's the matter?"
"So are you and Dani dating?" Andy demanded.
George laughed. Andy was always very straight forward. "No, we're just friends."
"I see. So you guys are just platonically spending time together." Andy interrogated.
"Yeah, isn't that what just friends means?" George asked.
"And how long do you think that will last? A guy and girl can only be just friends for so long before one of you catches feelings." Andy said.
"Believe me, it's fine." George laughed.
"Okay, then have fun with the new white ranger then." Andy said.
She was about to walk away, when he grabbed her arm. "That's it?"
"Well what else do you want me to say?" Andy asked.
George smirked. "You're jealous. You're totally jealous."
"There's nothing to be jealous of." Andy said.
"And if there were?" George asked.
Andy paused and then rolled her eyes. "Bye George."
"Look's like Nikki is getting real close with that Mexican guy." Anna observed.
Katie looked up. "That's Owen."
Madison frowned. Owen and Niki were grinding against each other. "Is he out of his mind? Josie will have both of their heads on a stake."
"Who's Josie again?" Anna asked.
"Our green ranger, she will not be happy that Owen is talking to another girl." She sighed.
"I thought they weren't together." Katie said.
"Believe me, even when they're not together their together." Madison said.
"That makes no sense, whatsoever." Anna said.
"You're being a hypocrite." Owen yelled as he rolled out of the way of a knife being thrown at him.
The rangers were currently fighting a humanoid monster with a plethora of weapons.
"A hypocrite!" Josie yelled as she hurled her dagger at a demon.
She then picked it up and slammed it against the wall. As more demons chased after her she turned to Owen.
"Can you do something about them?" She asked.
Owen held out his palm and unleashed a blast of angel light. The demons screamed as they turned to dust.
Josie then did a flip in the air and landed behind Owen. She then punched a demon that was behind him.
"If I got mad at you for talking to another guy you would tell me we aren't in a relationship and to stop controlling you." Owen said.
He swung his axe at a demon and quickly decapitated him. Josie frowned.
"I would not." Josie said.
Out of nowhere all of their monsters were thrown into the air by a gust of wind. Alex groaned.
"Can we talk about this later?" He said.
"Nice story, but it still doesn't shed any light on how exactly they work." Anna said.
"Speaking of that I need to figure out my love life." Katie sighed.
The girls thought about it then Anna perked up. "We can make a list of their good qualities."
"That sounds like an awful idea, but what the hell." Katie smirked.
"Who's cuter?" Madison asked.
Katie frowned. "I feel bad for saying."
"She thinks it's Caden." Anna said.
Katie glared. "I forgot you were a mind reader."
"Which one did you meet first?" Anna asked.
"Well we all met at the same time, but I guess technically Caden." Katie said.
Madison thought of another question. "Which one makes you laugh the most?"
Katie chuckled. "That would be Ashtin. Caden's goofy, but Ashtin's sarcasm always brightens my day."
"Which one do you feel the most comfortable talking to?" Anna asked.
Katie shrugged. "Ashtin, I guess."
Anna raised an eyebrow. "You feel comfortable talking to him? He seems insensitive."
Katie shook her head. "He's not. At least not with me. He just acts that way because he's afraid no one will like him or that they'll end up betraying him."
"Which one do you talk to the most?" Madison asked.
Katie paused. "Ashtin."
"Which one buys you the nicest stuff?" Madison asked.
Anna rolled her eyes. "That doesn't sound shallow at all."
"Hey that's an important question." Madison defended.
"That would be Caden." Katie said.
"Which one would you be most comfortable with your parents meeting?" Anna asked.
"Caden." Katie said. "I have a feeling Ashtin and my mom won't get along."
After a dozen questions laughter the girls were exhausted.
"God damn Katie, my head is starting to hurt. Just pick one and get it over with." Madison groaned.
Anna smiled. "She just did."
"Stop reading my mind." Katie barked.
Madison perked up and smiled. "Who did you pick?"
Katie was about to answer, but frowned when she noticed something. Owen and Nikki were living the living room and heading upstairs. That could only mean one thing.
"I think Nikki and Owen are about to have sex." Katie gulped.
Willa was getting some food from the kitchen when she bumped into Ethan. Willa looked at him and jumped.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She demanded.
"I got invited to the party, so I came." Ethan said.
"We can't be seen together." Willa said.
Ethan shrugged. "I'm not going to tell anyone if that's what you're worried about. It'll be our secret."
"Yes because everyone on our team is just so good at keeping secrets." Willa said.
"Well we're the only two people that know." Ethan said.
Willa paused. Ethan frowned. "Who did you tell?"
"I told Nikki, but she saw me bleeding, and-"
"You were bleeding?" Ethan frowned.
"That's the not the point of the story!" Willa yelled.
Ethan frowned. "I was just worried about you."
"Don't say that jackass. You can't say stuff like that after we slept together, especially in public." Willa said.
"So because of one night, we can't be friends anymore?" Ethan frowned.
He sort of had a shortage of friends, he couldn't really afford to lose any.
"I don't know! Everything is happening so fast, and I'm just trying to process this. I need to tell Aiden." Willa said.
Ethan frowned. "Great another reason for him to hate me. I don't see what the big deal is. It was just one night, and it's not like it meant anything."
Willa paused. It meant nothing…right?
"Did it mean something to you?" Ethan asked quietly.
Before she could answer a scream was heard.
Josie went upstairs to use the bathroom when she heard a moan. She frowned, was someone actually having sex at this party? They were in Katie's room, but Katie was downstairs, so she probably didn't know. Soon the door opened and Nikki stepped out. Her hair was messed up and she was wearing Owen's jacket. She smiled.
"Hey I'm Nikki, which ranger are you?" Nikki smiled.
Owen stepped out from behind her and gulped. "Josie."
Nikki was still oblivious on what was going on. "Oh you're on Owen's team, I don't know how you stand being around a guy like this all the time. He's amazing."
"Did you guys just have sex?" Josie demanded.
Nikki frowned. "That's not really your business."
Owen tried to separate them. "Maybe we should just go."
Josie stopped him. "Did you or did you not have sex with Owen?"
"I did, what's the big deal?" Nikki asked.
"He's my….Owen. He's my Owen." Josie snapped.
Nikki rolled her eyes. "So not your boyfriend. Look you can sort this out with him, it's not my fault he can't keep it in his pants."
Josie growled. "And I'm sure you didn't tempt him at all."
"What do you want me to say? Sorry? I don't even know who you are!" Nikki yelled.
Josie growled and pushed Nikki against the wall. Nikki screamed in pain as her shoulder slammed into the wall. Willa and Ethan came running up the stairs to see them.
"Nikki are you okay?" Willa asked.
Josie sighed and stepped away. "I'm sorry, I just lost control of my temper."
"Punch yourself in the face." Nikki said.
Willa gasped as Josie punched herself in the face. The green ranger screamed in pain and fell back. She growled.
"Don't make me hurt you." Josie said.
She used her powers to access Nikki's emotions. Nikki began to cry. She felt a level of sadness she didn't even know existed. Her body actually hurt from the sorrow she was experiencing. Willa noticed this and growled.
"Leave her alone." She said as she picked Josie up her throat and threw her into the wall.
Josie growled and summoned a dagger. "You want a piece of me?"
"I don't think you know who you're messing with." Willa threated.
Owen and Ethan stepped in between the girls.
"I love a catfight as much as the next guy, but I think we should just go our separate ways and act like nothing ever happened." Owen said.
Josie frowned. "I can't forget this Owen. I just can't." Josie sighed.
She walked downstairs leaving the four other rangers sitting there in awkward silence and sadness.
