Chapter 1: Jimmy Puts a Ring on it
Angel Grove Animal Clinic, Angel Grove
April 1, 2007
4 pm
Aisha was chatting with a client about the after-care instructions for his poodle, who had a teeth cleaning and an extraction earlier that day.
"Remember Mr. Arnolds, soft food for the first 48 hours, pain meds as needed, and call me in the morning with an update on Prissy, okay?" Aisha said as the client nodded and left the clinic.
"Jimmy, when did you get here? I didn't see you come in," Aisha said startled to see her boyfriend standing in the lobby.
"I snuck in after a client," Jimmy said.
"Sneaky! I like that! Let me get my purse and…" Aisha started to say when Jimmy stopped her.
"Wait! I want to do this the right way, with witnesses," Jimmy said.
"Do what?" Aisha asked confused.
"This," Jimmy said as he pulled a black velvet box out of his back jeans pocket, got down on one knee, and cleared his throat.
"Aisha Marie Campbell, I've been promising, and promising, to put a ring on it for two years now, and today's the day I'm finally keeping my promise. Aisha, will you marry me?" Jimmy asked hopefully.
"Marry you? Wait, let me check my schedule…" Aisha said as she looked for her calendar in her purse.
Jimmy looked crushed as she searched.
"Oh, Jimmy, you know I'm messing with you, right? Because I am! Of course I will marry you!" Aisha said as Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief as he put the ring on her left ring finger. Everyone cheered and clapped as Jimmy and Aisha hugged and kissed.
Aisha took one look at her ring and whistled.
"Is this the ring you've been promising me for the past two years? Because it's absolutely stunning!"
"Yes, it is. I got it from Jared's, only the finest for you, because you're worth it!" Jimmy said.
"Oh Jimmy, you're so sweet! Wait until I show this beauty to the girls! They are going to flip!" Aisha said as she pulled Jimmy in for a second kiss.
Tommy and Kim's House, Reefside
7 pm
Aisha and Jimmy walked up to Tommy and Kim's House. It was wine night for the girls and poker night for the guys. The ranger offspring were with their grandparents.
Aisha came bursting through the front door.
"Look who finally put a ring on it!" Aisha said as she pointed to Jimmy as he came in.
"Really?!" the girls exclaimed.
"Yes, really!" Aisha said as she showed off her ring. The girls oohed and aahed at how shiny and big the ring was.
"Did he go to Jared?" Kim asked.
"Of course he went to Jared. He's been promising me a ring from there for the past two years," Aisha said.
"Spill the tea, 'Sha," Tanya said.
"Well, we were talking on the way here, and we decided on a destination wedding. How does a New Years Eve wedding in New York City sound?"
The girls squealed in delight.
"Tommy and I want to go to New York for our second try at a honeymoon, since the first one was ruined by the red ranger moon mission," Kim said.
"Well, now you get your chance," Aisha said.
"So, who's going to be in your wedding party?" Carrie asked.
"You girls, of course. I want Kim to be my Matron of Honor, Tanya my Maid of Honor, and you, Bella, Kat, and Trini to be my bridesmaids." Aisha said, mentioning Carrie and Jimmy's younger sister, Bella.
"So, I'm taking it that it's going to be an adults only wedding, no kids allowed?" Kim asked.
"As much as I love my nieces and nephews, I want this wedding to be as chaos free as much as possible, so no, no kids," Aisha said.
"What about the teens?" Carrie asked.
"Since there's going to be alcohol being poured for a week, and the fact that they're still underage by a year, no. But we are planning to have an all ages reception next April, so the kids and the college kids can come so they won't be left out entirely," Aisha said.
"Sounds reasonable," Trini said.
Meanwhile, in the basement, the guys were giving Jimmy a hard time.
"Man, Jimmy, why did you hold out for these past two years? We were thinking you and Aisha would never make it official," Jason said, giving his best friend and police partner a hard time.
"I wanted to get her a stunner of a ring, but first I had to save up for it. That's my reason, okay? Happy now?" Jimmy asked.
"Very happy, happy that we're all going to New York City for a destination wedding!" Rocky said.
"Question, Jimmy. Are you and Aisha inviting Justin and Bella, unlike Rocky and Carrie, who didn't invite them to their wedding?" Adam asked.
"We did invite them, but at the time Justin was studying abroad, in Ireland, and he had some hard deadlines with projects at school, and Bella was in London, studying at a college for the arts, and she was committed to a bunch of performances with a dance troupe, so needless to say, they couldn't come to the wedding. Besides, being college students, they didn't have much money to travel back to the states anyways," Rocky said.
"To answer your question, Adam, yes, we are inviting them. They graduated three years ago from their respective colleges, got cushy jobs, settled in a nice flat in London, and they got engaged a year ago. Don't know about the wedding yet, since they've been really busy lately, but Justin said they'd keep us posted," Jimmy said.
"Wow, Justin and Bella are living richly, sounds like. Good for them," Tommy said.
"Yeah, they are," Jimmy said.
"So, who's going to stand up for you in your wedding?" Rocky asked.
"Well, Jason and you will be my best men, and Tommy, Adam, Benji, and Justin will be my groomsmen. Neil and Patrick, my roommates from college, will be the ushers," Jimmy said.
"Cool! Is this wedding of yours going to be kid-free, since alcohol will be flowing all week?" Rocky said.
"Yes, no kids allowed, and no underage college kids either, meaning the dino teens and the banger sisters, and Mel," Jimmy said.
"Too bad for them, but I know I wouldn't be caught being held responsible if they enjoyed adult beverages, being underage and all," Rocky said.
"True. They'll get their chance someday," Adam said.
Meanwhile, the girls were enjoying glasses of wine and talking about all the details about the wedding.
"So, when are you going dress shopping?" Kim asked Aisha.
"Towards the middle of June. You girls are invited, of course," Aisha said.
"I can't wait to try on bridesmaid dresses! What colors are you going with?" Trini asked.
"Gold, Black, and White. It goes with New Years Eve and all," Aisha said.
"Well, I can't wait for you to finally get married," Kim said.
"Yeah, me too. I've been waiting like forever for Jimmy to ask me, and now it's finally happening," Aisha said.
"Well, keep us posted on all the plans that you and Jimmy make," Tanya said.
"We'll help out when we can," Carrie added.
"Thanks, girls. I know that I can always count on all of you," Aisha said as she and the girls hugged.
