PHAEDOS
After the stressful time the rangers had the last few weeks, Zordon decided to surprise them by arranging for them to head to Phaedos. Phaedos was a beautiful island that was the vacation land of the who's who in the celebrity world. The island was secretly owned by Zordon under a fictitious company. The rangers were permitted to go to the ultra secluded, secure island and enjoy a little R&R.
"We're going to Phaedos? And Zordon actually owns the island? Wow, this is going to be so awesome," Kimberly nearly screamed at her boyfriend and his sister.
"It is a bit of a surprise, but I do think we need that vacation. I'm amazed at how Zordon got our parents to let us go on this trip," Meredith said.
"I know. Telling each of us that we'd been nominated in a contest and we'd all been picked for this trip was a bit farfetched, but I guess our parents bought it because we leave in the morning," Tommy said.
"You'd think our parents would realize something is up with the way our teenage years have been," Meredith said."I'm not going to think about it. I'm ready to have some fun in the sun," Kimberly said.
Tommy left to walk Kimberly home so she could finish packing. Meredith went upstairs to finish her packing. Rocky had been told he could go on the trip, but only if he took it easy. Meredith promised her dad that she'd keep a close eye on Rocky and make sure he didn't do anything crazy.
Meredith was putting her new purple string bikini in her suitcase when her phone rang. She picked up the handset and went back into her closet.
"Hey, babe," Rocky said.
"Hey, hon," Meredith answered."You finished packing," Rocky asked."Not hardly. I'm having such a problem figuring out what to wear," she said."Well, if I can suggest a bikini and nothing else," Rocky said."What about pajamas, Rocky," Meredith asked.
"Who said anything about pajamas," Rocky said, his voice husky,"Down boy. Can we get to the island first," she asked.
"Fine, but you had better pack something for me in that suitcase of yours," he said."Boy, you're awfully demanding for someone who's been off his feet for a while," Meredith said."Exactly," Rocky said.
Meredith laughed at her boyfriend. She knew the lack of physical contact had been torture for her boyfriend.
"Don't worry. With Tommy and Kimberly occupied with themselves, we will have plenty of time together," Meredith said."OK. You and Tommy picking me up in the morning," he asked."Yeah. We convinced our parents that since we were going to be returning at weird hours, we should drive ourselves. We'll head to the power chamber and go from there," Meredith said."Then I guess I'll settle for seeing you in the morning," Rocky said."OK. I love you," she said."I love you, too," he tossed the phone onto her bed and continued raiding her closet.
She pulled out several pairs of jean shorts and folded them into her suitcase. She took some of her various purple t-shirts and folded them into her suitcase as well. She put her underwear and socks in the suitcase and tried to decide on what dresses to take along.
She stood in her closet, flipping through her dresses before deciding on her favorite purple sundress with various shades of purple as the dress dropped down. She also pulled out her deep purple evening dress with the sparkly accents around the top and thinning out as they went down the dress. She put her silver peep toed sandals in the bag and zipped it. She threw some pj's and workout clothes in the overnight bag she planned to put her make up and such inside.
Putting all her toiletries she planned to take in one corner of the vanity. She would use them in the morning and put them in the bag at the last minute.
She heard Tommy's bedroom door open and went to stand in the bathroom doorway that led to his room.
"Kimberly finish packing," Meredith asked her brother."I helped her with a few choices. But of course she's probably going to have six more bags by the time we get to her in the morning," Tommy said."Speaking of, don't you think you should pack yourself? You can't get away with karate pants and swimming trunks for two weeks," Meredith said."I know. I'm going to pack right now," Tommy said, turning to his closet.
"Want some help," Meredith asked."Sure," Tommy said, pulling some shirts out of his closet.
Meredith entered his room and was always amazed at the contrast his room showed about his life. Tommy was a dedicated martial artist. He ate well and exercised regularly. With the dedication he showed in those aspects, one would think his room would be spotless. Alas, Tommy was a typical male. He had clothes thrown near the hamper, but nothing made it inside.
His clean clothes still sat on the chair where Meredith had set them two days ago.
She pulled two of his favorite shirts from the pile of clean clothes and set them in his duffle bag.
She pulled some shorts out of the bottom drawer of his dresser and added a pair of jeans.
"I am so not getting into your underwear drawer. I'm scared of what I might find," she said.
"Do you know where my green plaid PJ pants are? I know I put them in the hamper," Tommy said, grabbing several pairs of boxers and socks out of the went back to the chair holding the clean clothes and produced the pants in question.
Holding them up, she said, "You know, if you actually put your own clothes away, this wouldn't happen."Tommy took the pants and added them to his duffle.
"I think I'm finished," he said.
"OK. I'm going to bed since mom and dad think we're heading out early to catch a flight. We have to get Kim and Rocky at those early hours, too, you know," Meredith said."I know. We've got it covered," Tommy said.
"Good night, then," Meredith said, heading toward her bedroom.
"Night, sis," he called to slipped under the covers of her bed, excited about the upcoming two weeks. Spring break at an island resort sounded like a wonderful idea and Meredith knew everyone needed a bit of a break.
The next morning, Tommy and Meredith picked up Rocky and Kimberly and headed to the power chamber. Shortly after they arrived, the rest of their friends arrived for the trip.
They gathered their luggage and Zordon teleported them to the sunny, tropical island of Phaedos.
They teleported to the beach that was outside the back of their bungalows.
Of course, the couples paired themselves off. Tommy and Kimberly took the first bungalow. Rocky and Meredith, the second. The third and fourth went to Zack and Aisha and Jason and Katherine. Adam and Tanya took the fifth one. Billy had decided not to join the group on their vacation because he had some important science conference he wanted to attend and he was meeting with the people from MIT regarding his scholarship. Everyone knew how much Billy wanted that scholarship and had been sorry he wasn't on the island, but glad he was getting his chance to do what he wanted. He promised he'd watch out for Angel Grove and contact them if anything happened while they were gone.
Each bungalow featured the bed and bath area with the five cabins joined together by a common living area with fully stocked kitchen. The group could hang out together in the space if they chose or retire to their private 'houses' with their own bathroom space. The common living space had a giant television and entertainment center with the latest in stereo equipment. Several large, plush couches sat in the space. The large dining room table had room for twelve. The kitchen featured a huge fridge filled with all their favorites and large industrial stove that would allow them to cook some while they were on vacation.
There was a large pool and hot tub just off the common living area and the back faced the ocean and offered a path to lounge chairs and such set out on the private bungalow had a whirlpool tub and large glassed in shower.
The bedroom featured a California King bed and the doors opened out to the ocean. They could be opened so the sheer curtains the hung in front of them could blow in the wind or closed to allow for ultra privacy.
Meredith and Rocky were amazed at how wonderful the whole area seemed. They put their clothes in the dresser that was placed under the giant wall mounted TV and tossed their luggage into the closet after hanging up the necessary items in the closet. Meredith looked out onto the veranda and saw some lounge chairs and an outdoor fireplace. There was a common veranda between the third and fourth bungalows that featured the same style fireplace, but larger. Meredith knew they'd be using it.
She jumped when Rocky came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her nuzzled her neck. Meredith closed her eyes and leaned back against him."You're supposed to be taking it easy," she said, turning around to face him."Oh, this is not difficult," Rocky said, smiling as he kissed her."You know what I mean," Meredith said."Babe, I have to be with you. I feel like I neglected you while I was recovering," he said."You didn't. I'm just glad you weren't hurt worse. Seeing you on the floor like that was ten times worse than the Ivan Ooze incident," she said to him."I'm just fine and I want to show you just how fine I am," he took her hand and pulled her toward the bed. "Seems a shame not to test out this bed," he said, pulling her closer to him.
Unable to resist his charms and wanting to be with him, Meredith gave in and dropped down on the bed with Rocky. They removed clothing and were soon caught up in passion that could only be completed by two people who had been laid wrapped in the bed sheets shortly after their love making and found themselves not wanting to get up. Meredith closed her eyes and wondered if the others were having as much fun as she so early in their trip.
Kimberly put her clothes into the drawers and closets. Tommy laughed at the amount of stuff Kimberly had brought for the vacation. He managed to find some space in the dresser for his few clothing items and sat on the bed watching Kimberly.
She slipped into the bathroom with a small pink bag and Tommy assumed she was putting her toiletries in the bathroom. He leaned back on his hands on the bed and took in the room. He noticed the stuff outside on the veranda and hoped he and Kimberly would get to spend some time out there, looking at the stars. He must have been daydreaming because he didn't hear Kimberly open the door and step back into the room.
"Hey handsome," she turned back to the sound of her voice and was immediately awestruck. There was Kimberly in a pink lace negligee with a matching pink lace thong."Do you like," she asked in a teasing to speak, Tommy nodded his approached him and pushed him further down on the bed. She straddled him and lowered herself for a sizzling kiss. Tommy wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. He slowly started to remove her negligee and she pulled off his clothes.
However, after Tommy's initial assistance with removing Kimberly's clothes, she took total control. Tommy, not used to being out of control, found himself not only aroused but liking this forceful and dominating Kimberly. He would have to tell her when blood flow returned to his brain. For now, he was content with enjoying himself.
Zack and Aisha looked at the rather large bed in their room. They looked at each other."Look, there is nothing wrong with us sharing a bed, but if you want, I can go and see if Adam will let me bunk with him and you and Tanya can have this room," Zack said.
Aisha thought about it, but decided that she could share a bed with Zack without it leading to anything.
"We can share the bed. It's big enough. Besides, I trust you not to do anything I don't want you to do," she said, reaching up to kiss him.
"You're amazing, you know that," he said to her."You're not too bad yourself," she said.
They both set about putting their clothes into the dresser and closet and sat down on the bed together and turned on the TV that hung over the fireplace in their bungalow. The cuddled on the bed and Aisha had to admit that it was better than cuddling on the couch. The group had decided not to get together until dinner, so they had the rest of the day to fend for themselves. They cuddled on the bed and watched the movie until they decided they needed to eat.
They left their bungalow and entered the common room, discovering it was empty.
"Well, do you want something to eat. We can take it back. I have a feeling we won't see Kimberly and Tommy until dinner, if at all," Zack said."Sure. Maybe there's frozen pizza," Aisha said, opening the the pizza, she set the oven and she and Zack sat on the large sofa in front of the giant television in the common room.
Twenty-five minutes later, Aisha and Zack took their pizza to their room to watch another movie. They wondered if they would be by themselves for the whole trip.
"Want to try the hot tub after dinner," Zack asked, cheese hanging from his chin.
Aisha, laughing at the site, took the cheese from his chin. "That sounds like a great idea. I have a new suit I want you to see," she said, smiling.
"Oh, then you know I'm game," Zack said, smiling at finished their lunch and leaned back on the bed to finish their movie.
Jason was stoked. He couldn't believe how totally awesome the island was. He also couldn't believe that he was staying in a room with his incredibly hot girlfriend. Life couldn't get any better for him.
Katherine came up behind him and kissed his back.
Jason turned around and took her in his arms. They shared a passionate kiss that left Jason screaming with desire for his girlfriend.
Katherine took the hint and untied the halter top of her pink and white polka dotted dress. Jason needed no further encouragement and took off his own shirt and pushed Katherine backward onto the bed. Soon they were caught up in their own little world. So eager was the couple, they never made it under the covers. When they finished, Katherine giggled. Jason looked at his girlfriend."No guy likes to hear laughter after sex, Katherine. It's very demoralizing," he said, smiling at her."I wasn't laughing at that. I was laughing at how we never made it under the covers," she said, kissing him.
"We were a little eager. You've been practicing a lot the last few weeks, so we haven't had any time alone. Now we have two wonderful weeks with each other, alone," he said, kissing her again."This is heaven," she said, leaning back into his arms.
"It certainly is," he said, closing his stayed in each other's arms until their stomachs protested that they needed food.
"Want to see if there is anything for sandwiches in the kitchen," Jason asked.
"That sounds like a great idea," Katherine said.
She sat up and started looking for her clothes. She found them and went into the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup. Jason gathered his clothes from the floor and pulled them back on while running his fingers though his hair.
Katherine came out of the bathroom and they walked to the common room. They saw the television on already, but no one was in the room. They opened the fridge and found all the fixings for sandwiches, so they made something for themselves. They sat down on the couch to enjoy their lunch and watch TV.
"We going to hit the beach later," Katherine asked."I thought we would. We're supposed to meet everyone for dinner at 5, so we have some time if you want to go down there now," he said."That sounds great," Katherine said, jumping up from the couch and heading back into their room.
Jason smiled at his girlfriends enthusiasm and followed her into the room.
They changed into their swimsuits. Jason went in the bathroom to get some beach towels and came out to find Katherine putting on one of his red shirts. While the thought made him smile, he realized which shirt she had chosen to wear.
"Katherine, I love that you want to wear one of my shirts, but can you wear a different one," he looked at him, bewildered. She stared at the shirt she had put on and didn't know why he didn't want her wearing it. It was red, much like many of the shirts in his wardrobe. It was one she had never seen before, but knew he wore it a lot because it was faded a bit. It had a white cut out of a ranger and said 'What Would the Red Ranger Do?' "Why can't I wear this one," she asked. She thought it was funny that he had a shirt about the red ranger when he'd previously been the red ranger.
"It's one of my favorites," he said. Katherine took it off and put on one that had some kind of wording on it in Japanese. Jason took the shirt and put it in the drawer."What's so special about that shirt, Jase," she asked him as he opened the doors to go outside.
"It was a gift and I happen to like it a lot," he to let the matter drop, she headed out the door and ran across the sand. Jason threw their stuff down and chased after her, finally catching her and playfully tossing her into the ocean.
"So, what do you think of this place," Adam asked Tanya as they unpacked."It's wonderful. Do you think we could sit out there tonight and watch the sunset," Tanya asked."If you want. We're meeting the gang for dinner at 5, so we should be back in time to watch it," Adam said.
"Great," Tanya said, her already wide smile getting pulled Tanya into his arms. "I'm glad you're here with me," he said.
"I'm glad you invited me," she kissed her then pressed his forehead to hers. "Who else would I bring," he asked."Well, Rocky if he wasn't already going on the this trip with Meredith," Tanya said, laughing.
"Well, that's probably true. Rocky has been my best friend forever. We've been through a lot as friends," Adam said.
"What do you want to do now," Tanya asked, sitting on the sat next to her on the bed. "Do you want to explore this little stretch of paradise? It's supposed to be the stomping grounds of the rich and famous," Adam said."That sounds like a great idea," she said.
They got up off the bed and headed out the door.
Everyone met in the common room at 5 and walked to the seafood restaurant in the hotel. They all enjoyed wonderful meals of seafood, before retiring back to their bungalows. On the walk back, Kimberly got the idea to play a game of 'Never I Have.'
"Why would we want to do that, Kim," Jason asked.
"Because we haven't all ever played as a group and I think it would be a lot of fun. Besides their's plenty of liquid courage back in the bungalow," she grumbled at the prospect of playing the game, but in the end everyone agreed. Tommy and Kimberly set up the shots and placed them in front of their friends.
"Rules are simple. We go around the circle and make a statement like 'Never have I worn my ranger suit at Halloween.' If you've done it, you take a drink. If you're 'it' you don't have to give a statement that has you taking a drink, you can say anything," Kimberly nodded in agreement and Kimberly said, "OK. I guess I'll start this round."
***Drinking and 'Never Have I' is never a good sign, but this will get really interesting. I'm going to start, Kimberly said. "Never have I worn my ranger costume at Halloween." No one took a drink. Tommy was up next. "Never have I wished I could use my powers whenever I could," he said. Everyone took a drink on that one.*** -mereditholiver
