A few weeks later it was safe to go back to school and everybody knew that Jane and Eric liked eachother... except for Eric

RT: you need to tell him, it's driving him mad, he doesn't know that you like him

Jane: why doesn't he just ask me out?

Conner: Eric's been trying to figure out how to

Jane: why doesn't he just come out and say that he likes me? It's not that hard to do

RT: why don't you just come out and say that you like him

Conner: ooh he's gotcha there

Jane glared at them

Jane: because...

RT: because?

Jane: I'm shy

RT: since when?

Jane: since I developed a crush... this is not something girls talk about with there older brothers and guy friends

The guy's laughed

RT: gees how long does it take for Kira to finish a science test?

Conner: yah we were supposed to start training 10 minutes ago

Jane: some people take their time on tests and actually do good on them

Conner: did you just diss me?

RT: big time

Conner: hey I do good on tests... I have a C in that class

Jane: good you're passing

Conner: what do you have in your science class

Jane: A

RT: B- science isn't my favorite subject

Conner: mine either

Tommy heard

Tommy: oh that hurt

Conner: Dr. O don't do that

Tommy:(mock hurt) you guys don't like my class? Well I know RT doesn't but Conner? You have a C in my class

Conner: I know, science just isnt my thing

Tommy: that's ok, wasn't my thing when I was your age either

RT: tell me about it

Tommy laughed

Tommy: hey RT at least you're getting better grades then I did... I was lucky to get a C

RT: yah well you make me study all the time

Tommy: yah, life was easier in the 90s... all the villans wanted to do was take over the world, now they want to create the dinosaurs again

Jane: wow it's very easy to get off topic

Tommy: what was the topic?

Jane: Eric

Tommy: Eric?

RT: your little girl has a crush and he has a crush on her but niether one of them wants to do anything about it

Tommy: ah... no

Jane: no what?

Tommy: you're not going to date until you're 20

Jane: ok now you're just being unreasonable, you had Kimberly and Kat before you were 20, heck you had both of them before you even graduated

Tommy: that was different

Jane: how

Tommy: I wasn't a father at that time, and their parents let them date

Jane: I thought you were cool

Teen guys: ouch burn

Trent: what's a burn?

Kira: yah

Jane: Kira can you believe it? Dad won't let me date until I'm 20

Kira: Dr. O you can't do that! That is the worst thing a dad can do to their daughters

Tommy: is it again gang up on Tommy day?

The Teen rangers looked at eachother and smiled

Conner: yes

Tommy: oh great now you guys are in it?

RT: yes

Tommy: you too RT? They'll gang up on you next

RT: no I'm helping them out Tommy, you're on your own

Jane: how old was dad when he got his first girlfriend?

RT: 14, her name... Kelly

Tommy: yah I remember her... her dad didnt like me very much, she was a dancer and I was in karate... I guess those two don't mix

Jane: ok anybody else after Kelly?

Tommy: oh no

RT: Kristen

Tommy: that didnt last that long

Conner: what happened

Tommy: her dad caught us, he didnt like me at all, I guess it was the long hair, and she grew tired of me I guess and cheated on me

Kira: I'm sorry

Tommy: that's alright, why are we going through all of my dates' names?

Jane: I'm tallying all of your dates up to the point before you were 20

Tommy: why

Jane: because it's not fair

Jane smiled

Jane: because you don't want to mess with a pink ranger

Tommy: got that right

RT: next was Kimberly... we already know how that one ended

Ethan: what's with all the K names

Tommy laughed

Tommy: I don't know

RT: then there was Kat

Jane: you guys broke up because she went to dancing school in another country and you stayed here, then there was my mom

RT: another K name?

Tommy: no A... Alena... we met on Aquamarine

Jane: you had all of them before you were 20... you met my mom when you were 19

Tommy: ok fine... you can date... but I need to know his parents and his background

Conner: well he's my brother so you know his parents, he's been playing soccer a lot and used to go to the wind ninja acadamy where he took karate

RT: told ya Jane

Jane stuck out her tounge

Conner: transfered here and fell in love with Jane

Ethan: and now you're trying to get these two together

Tommy: oh great... now I'm at the stage where I have to be the worried father, my daughter is going to go out with a Conner look a like

Conner: HEY

The rangers laughed

Ethan: man it's fun teasing you two

Tommy: whatever... now it's time to train if you don't mind

They trained for an hour

Conner:(whispering to RT) get Jane and meet me at Reefside park in an hour

RT: ok... will she need to dress up?

Conner: no, we're going to settle this thing once and for all

RT: good

The rangers left

Jane: what was with the whispering

RT: nothing

Jane: RT

RT: nothing

Jane tried reading his mind but there was only music

Jane: RT!

RT: you'll see later... don't try to read my mind

Jane: all I get is elevator mucic

RT: you tried?

Jane: duh

RT: well serves you right

Jane: what is going on?

RT: you'll se in a half hour

20 minutes later

RT: ok come on Jane

Jane: where we going

RT: it's a suprise... now put this on

It was a blindfold

Jane: I don't think so

RT: oh come on... it'll be fine

Jane: promise

RT: promise

RT put the blindfold on her and then they went in the jeep

RT: WE'LL BE BACK LATER TOMMY!

Tommy:OK!

They left in the jeep and RT drove to Reefside park where Conner and Eric were waiting... Eric still had a blindfold on

RT: ok just be quiet, don't make any noise

Conner: ok just be quiet and dont make any noise

RT and Conner walked their siblings so they were facing eachother and then they took the blindfolds off

Eric: oh my

Jane: gosh

Eric/Jane: Conner/RT

RT/Conner: you guys aren't moving until you confess your feelings

The two looked at eachother and smiled nervously

There was a long awkward silence

Conner: go on all ready

Eric: I'm going to get you Conner

Jane: I knew this wasn't something to share in front of older brothers

She glared at RT

RT: you'll thank me later

Another awkward silence

Conner: go on already

Eric: while you two are standing there? I don't think so

RT: ok we'll back away but you guys aren't going anywhere

They backed up

minute of silence

Eric: ah... you... you want to sit down?

Jane: ok

They sat on a bench

Awkward silence for a few seconds,then a couple of giggles and both of them not looking at eachother

Eric: did you know this was going to happen?

Jane: no RT blindfolded me

Eric: yah so did Conner

Jane smiled and there was still an awkward silence

Jane: so

Eric: so

Jane giggled

Eric: what's so funny

Jane: oh nothing

Eric: no tell me

Jane: we know what they want us to say right

Eric: yah

Jane: and we're having the hardest time having a conversation

Eric: yah

Jane: ok, I'm just going to say it... Eric... I like you like you

Eric: you do?

Jane: yah, since I first met you

Eric: oh thank god... I really like you too, since I first layed eyes on you and felt your kindness

Jane smiled

Jane: ok now it just got easier... you do realize the whole school knows that we like eachother right

Eric: they do? I didn't know that

Jane lifted an eyebrow

Eric: I must be some kind of wacko if everybody knew but I didn't

Jane: you're not a wacko

Eric: did you know I liked you

Jane: yes

Eric: you did?

Jane: Conner told me

Eric: I'm really going to kill him

Jane: oh don't do that, then who are we going to tease?

Eric: oh all right... it's kind of fun being a twin anyway, you get to confuse people

Jane giggled

Jane: how come you didn't tell me that you already knew karate?

Eric: I just wanted to be with you, and since you knew a lot about karate...

Jane: I see... well it was sweet

They both smiled

Jane: so

Eric: so

Jane: I guess this makes us... boyfriend and girlfriend

Eric: I guess it does... so do you want to go see pirates of the carribean 8 with me tomorrow night

Jane smiled

Jane: I'd love too, but I have to ask my dad

Eric: ok

Jane: so how well do you know karate?

Eric: been taking it for 5 years now

Jane: ok lets see what you got

They both smiled and then sparred and that got RT and Conner running

Conner: you guys have a fight already?

RT: we brought you guys here to fall in love not get in a fight

Eric: relax you guys

Jane: yah we're just sparring

RT: so you guys are

Jane: a couple

Conner: my plan worked

RT and Conner high fived

RT: well we better go... it's getting late

Eric: oh yah

Conner: gees, you guys took 45 minutes to admit that you like eachother

Eric: what can we say

Jane: we had to get the words just right

Jane and Eric hugged

RT: later bro

Conner: see yah later

Back in the jeep

RT: well?

Jane: thank you RT

RT: you're welcome, but that's not what I meant

Jane: I have a date tomorrow night, we're going to see Pirates of the Caribean 8

RT: wow you guys move fast

Jane: ew gross picture

RT: ew gross mind

Jane hit him in the arm

RT: hey don't hit the driver, don't want to cause an accident

Jane: man you really do sound like dad

RT: your fault not mine

Jane: Billy's fault, he gave you dad's memories, I gave you a mind of your own

RT: thank you

Jane: you're welcome

RT: who gave me the glowing green eyes?

Jane: me, and now they don't shoot out lazer beams

RT laughed

10 minutes later they made it home and Jane ran into the house to ask Tommy if she could go to the movies

Tommy: who's all going?

Jane: just Eric and I

Tommy: no

Jane: oh come on dad, you said I could date

Tommy: you're only 13, you're dating a 17 year old, there's a big age difference there

Jane: oh come on please

Tommy: no

Jane: it's only a 4 year difference

Tommy: I said no

Jane: ok what if RT goes or Ashley and Rebecca

Tommy: like Eric would want to go to a movie with two more 13 year olds

Jane: come on dad please

Tommy: I'm sorry Jane but no

Jane: then what's the point of being boyfriend girlfriend if you won't let me go out with him? come on you dated all of those girls

Tommy: yah but they were my age

Jane: come on dad

Tommy: Jane no... you barley know this guy

Jane: he's Conner's brother

Tommy: and that's supposed to make me feel better?

Jane: yah since you trust Conner to help save the world on a daily basis

Tommy: that's different

Jane: oh come on... what do you think will happen?

Tommy: a lot

Jane: what if RT goes and Kira

Tommy: RT's not dating Kira

Jane: we can be a group and just go as friends

Tommy: no I can't trust them to watch you guys

Jane: why are you being so difficult?

Tommy: I'm your father what do you expect

Jane: well I didn't think you would turn into grandma

Tommy: hey watch it

Jane: you're being too over protective

Tommy: and I should... Jane you almost died a few weeks ago because I wasn't protective enough

Jane: you're going to have to let me go sooner or later

Tommy: YOU'RE NOT DATING ERIC MCKNIGHT AND THAT IS FINAL... END OF DESCUSSION

Jane: but

Tommy: I SAID END OF DESCUSSION

Jane: you're mean

She ran out of the room and ran to her bedroom

RT: what's with all the yelling?

Tommy: just stay out of it

RT: you're not letting her go on her date?

Tommy: no

RT: why? Eric's cool

Tommy: that might be true, but he's also 17

RT: oh... yah... but they love eachother

Tommy: this isn't your concern

RT: I'm her older brother

Tommy: then I'm your dad and I'm telling you to stay out of it

RT: yah but I got her into this mess

Tommy: she'll get over it, just let her cry for a while

RT: you better be right, or she's going to be a handful in the future

Jane was crying on her bed, she was furious that Tommy wouldn't let her go... she got on her cellphone and called Eric

Eric: hello

Jane: hi it's me

Eric: hi Jane, I can't wait until tomorrow night

Jane: yah about that

Eric: what

Jane: I can't go

Eric: WHAT

Jane: I'm sorry, my dad won't let me go... I've been trying to talk him into it for the last half hour but his mind is made up... he's usually very easy to convince but not this time... I hope you're not mad

Eric: it's alright, I understand... it's the age difference isn't it?

Jane: yah

Eric: I thought so... most parents don't like there daughters dating older guys

Jane: I am sorry

Eric: I know... I'll see you in school on Monday

Jane: bye

Eric: bye

Poor Jane, poor Eric... I hope you like the story so far, please don't hate me for turning Tommy into a mean dad... please review
