VR Troopers Say Goodbye

by:Angelface

The VR Troopers have been in Angel Grove for a few weeks now, and since they came Ryan and Shawna have been dating.Ryan, Kaitlyn, and JB are going home today. What will happen between Ryan and Shawna?



BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Went shawna's alarm clock. The day I dread Shawna thought to herself. It was Saturday and today three of her friends go back to Crossworld at noon, but besides that she was going to break up with Ryan. Not because he was leaving, but because after their first few dates she relized she didn't really like Ryan in that way.

Mari was up and dressed eating breakfast(Cinniman Toast Crunch), and Curtis had fallen asleep on the couch.

Mari was dressed in an orange tanktop , loose white sweat pants.Her hair was pulled back in an orange hair ribbon she also had on white nike tennis shoes with orange checks on them.

Curtis was wearing a plain grey T-shirt and jeans plus black and white Air Jordans.

Shawna had on a purple halter top and denim shorts she also had on purple flip-flops.Her brown hair gently touched her shoulders.

"so, todays the day huh Shay?" Mari said with a frown on her face.

"yeah, todays the day" Shawna said with a dissapointed tone.

"what day?" Curtis yawned

"the day Ryan and the guys leave" Shay replied "I need to ask you guys something but you can't tell anyone"

"how do you tell someone that your not attracted to him anymore in a nice way?" she asked.

"shay, sorry but this issues between you and Ryan" curtis said.

"yeah Shay Curtis is right (for once)" Mari said trying to lighten the mood "well, I gotta go meet Ryan, Tommy, and Rocky at the youth center. I told them I'd meet them at 9:30 and its already 9:25" she said as she grabbed her keys, her gym bag and left.

"yeah and I told JB, Billy, Adam, and Richie I'd play football with them in the park" curtis said.

"good you can give me a lift to the mall" Shawna said with a triumphant grin on her face.

"How come you never tell Mari to give you a lift" Curtis asked

"cause she leaves before I can." shawna replied.

"no wonder" Curtis said rolling his eyes

"very funny Curtis" Shawna said slapping his arm

******************************

Mari ran into the youth center and skid to a stop in front of the juice bar.

"sorry I forgot to set my clock-- wow that sounded familiar" Mari said

"sometimes it amazes me how much you and Tommy are alike" Rocky said.

"Amen to that!" Ryan said "and speaking of which where is he?".

"You Know Tommy he always likes to make an entrance" Mari said and as if on cue Tommy runs in and tries to skid to a stop but runs into the juice bar. "oooooohhhhhh" Ryan, Mari and Rocky winced, soon after that they were all surrounding him bawling with laughter.

"and what an entrance it was" Ryan joked.

As the hours passed they came to a slow realization of how much they would miss the VRs.

"Hey, guys I gotta go finish packing its 11:00" Ryan said sadly. Shortly after he left Kaitlyn, Aisha, and Kim walked in their arms loaded with shopping bags.

"It's 11:30 already" Kaitlyn said as she headed out the door. About that time Shawna walked in with a sad look on her face, and by now all of the girls knew what she was going to do.

"Hey, guys I'm gonna take a break" Mari said as she, Aisha, and Kim walked over to Shawna who was sitting at the juice bar.

"hey gurl, you ok?" Aisha asked in her sweet voice

"I'm just a little nervous about . . . ya know" Shawna said.

"Don't worry he more than likely feels the same way" Mari said putting a comforting hand on Shawna's shoulder. Mari smiled then headed over to the guys.

"Mari!" Kim said tapping her on the shoulder

"yeah Kim?" Mari said smiling warmly. Despite their rough start she had actually grown quite fond of Kimberly.

"Do you really think he feels the same way?" she asked

"I don't think I know" Mari replied now with a more serious face.

"huh?"

"well it's like . . . you and this guy . . . Jason . . . the guy Tommy kept mentioning in his letters . . . your really close to him right?"

"yeah what's your point?"

"well if something was the matter, I mean even the tiniest detail, you'd notice right?"

"yeah of course I mean I practically grew up with the guy"

"well it's the same thing with Ryan. When we were sparring he kept making the same mistakes, and he hasn't done that since Proffessor Hart called and told him he had a message from his father plus every time we mentioned Shawna he either spaced out or changed the subject."

"oh . . . I see but still it could be the exact oppisite"

"It could . . . but Kim . . . I highly doubt it"

At that point Ryan, Kaitlyn, JB, Adam, Curtis, and Billy all walked in. Shawna gave Mari a nervous look.

"Hey, Shawna can I talk to you outside" Ryan asked with a shaky voice

"sure I was just about to ask you the same thing anyway" Shawna replied

*******************************************

"Shawna . . . I think . . . we should . .-"

"break up "

". . . yeah . . . how did you know?"

"cause I feel the same way"

"so . . . we're still friends right?"

"of course . . . I mean it might be a little uncomfortable at first but . . . yeah"

"good"

"umm . . . then I'll get everyone out here to help load up" Shawna said as she jogged inside.

"bye Shawna" Ryan said when she was out of earshot then pulled a sterling silver ring with a heart shaped ruby in the center he fingered it for a while then put it back in his pocket when he saw everyone coming out. After they loaded up everyone lined up to say goodbye. They went down the line shook hands and hugged maybe even shed a few tears.

"so, I geuss this is goodbye for a while huh?" Mari said to Ryan, JB, and Kaitlyn. she and Ryan had always been like brother and sister they were so close that it sometimes made Kaitlyn & JB jealous.

"Mari, no one could ever say goodbye to you" JB said as he hugged her. No one but Curtis knew that he secretly had a crush on Mari. She smiled with tears in her eyes and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you JB" she said. At that point for some reason Rocky felt a slight twinge of jealousy.

"Hey Ryan, tell sensai we said bye ok?" Curtis asked trying not to laugh at the blissful look on JB's face.

"of course man" Ryan said shaking hands with Curtis.

"Shawna, you've got to promise me you'll call me every Friday" Kaitlyn said pointing a finger at shawna.

"you got it" Shawna said as they hugged

Tommy approached Ryan with 3 communicators with plain silver bands.

"Billy and Alpha made theese for you guys. So, if Crossworld ever needs the help of the Power Rangers we'll be there in a flash" Tommy said handing them their communicators.

"Same here bro" Ryan said as he shook hands with Tommy. Both Knowing they had formed a new allience.
