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
