The Next Year
Epilogue
(Nine years later)
It was a rainy day in Reefside and Crystal, David, and Jenny were playing hide and seek in the house since their parents were out running errands. Even though there was no blood relation between the Oliver twins and Jennifer (Jenny) Scott, they knew each other as cousins and had been raised more as sibling since they all lived together anyway. Jenny carefully searched the house looking for Crystal and David, but was having a hard time until she made her way into her Uncle Tommy's den. Technically since that's where he did his work the children weren't allowed in there, but since the parentals were away for the day she figured that it was as good of a place as any to look.
She searched around the room and after a few seconds heard a sneeze, followed by a scream, and finally being pushed to the floor as something landed on her.
"That's not fair David", she said, You know I can't go invisible."
"Jenny, are you ok?" Crystal asked as she came running into the room.
"Fine", Jenny grunted as she pulled herself up off the ground, "Your brother knocked me into the table."
"Sorry", David said, "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"You know Dad doesn't let us in here without an adult", Crystal said scolding her brother, "And stop playing with the dinosaur model."
Just as she said that however David opened the jaw of the model causing a trap door to fall open in the floor of the den. David immediately ran down the stair before his goodie two shoes sister and cousin could stop him.
"David come back", Crystal yelled down the hole, "Don't make me come down there."
"I think you'll want to", they heard David yell.
Slowly Jenny and Crystal walked down the stairs into the hole, and what they saw once they got to the bottom amazed them. Surrounding them were all kinds of Power Ranger memorabilia, and pictures of there parents and all of their aunts and uncles as rangers.
"I don't believe it", Crystal said.
"What are you three doing down here", came a clearly annoyed voice from behind them.
They turned around and came face to face with Kat.
"Hi Mom", Jenny said as innocently as she could.
"They're down here", Kat called back into the house. A few seconds later Tommy, Jason and Kimberly descended the stairs to find the children staring dumbstruck at them.
"You three know you're not supposed to be in my den", Tommy said sternly.
"What do you three have to say for yourselves?" Kim asked.
David looked up at the four adults and smiled brightly, "You guys are the Power Rangers!"
