Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf
Chapter 26: Can't Fight the Moonlight
The summer passed quickly. As it ended, many things were happening. With the help of Lerigot, Zordon was finally able to return home to Eltar. While it saddened the rangers, they we're happy for their mentor. Zordon sent Dimitria of Inquirius to mentor the rangers. Alpha 5 left with Zordon and Alpha 6 came with Dimitria.
Billy's parents were working things out and things were getting better between Billy and his father.
~*~*~*
The first day of school arrived. It was the rangers' senior year. The rangers worked back into the routine of school, and soon the end of the first week came. Kat shoved her books into her locker.
"Now Kat, do you think you can keep Billy busy till 8?" Aisha said.
"Yeah, we have to set up for his surprise birthday party!" Kim said.
"Keeping Billy busy will not be a problem," Kat said, with a mischievous smile. The girls rolled their eyes.
~*~
Kat waited for Billy to put his things in his locker.
"It's my birthday and you're more excited than I am," Billy joked.
"Billy, today is very special and I have the whole night planned. You only turn 18 once," Kat said.
"Well, I hope whatever you do have planned involves you and me alone at some point," Billy said, as they headed for his house.
"Oh believe me, it does," Kat replied.
~*~*~*
"Thank you for letting me bake Billy's cake here Ernie," Kara Cranston thanked.
"You're welcome Kara. Man, Billy is going to be so surprised," Ernie said.
"Yeah, I can't wait to party-hardy!" Rocky yelled, as he was literally jumping up and down.
"No more jolt cola for you," Aisha ordered.
"Then you better watch him near the punch bowl. I've never been to a party where Rocky hasn't spiked it with jolt," Adam joked.
"Why don't you take a flying leap frog twerp," Rocky said.
"Only if you pretend you're an ape with wings and jump off a cliff," Adam retorted.
"Guys, get to work. This place needs to be decorated," Aisha ordered.
"Yes maim," they obeyed.
~*~*~*
Billy and Kat arrived at Billy's house and found the note left by his parents.
Billy,
Your father and I are out running errands. Be back later.
Mom.
Billy read the note and wondered what his parents were up to.
"I guess we have the house to ourselves for a while," Kat said, as she ran her hands along his chest. Billy pulled her close and kissed her, as he swept her onto the couch.
"How's this for time alone?" Kat asked.
"Perfect," Billy replied, as he began unbuttoning her shirt.
~*~*~*
Adam and Rocky chased each other around the youth center, shooting silly string at each other.
"Guys! You're making a mess!" Kim scolded.
"Billy and Kat will be here in half an hour and you two juveniles are ruining everything!" Aisha yelled.
"Sorry," they apologized.
"Get back to work," Aisha ordered.
"Don't worry Aisha, everything is just about ready," Kara assured her.
~*~*~*
Billy and Kat stepped out of the shower and began to get dressed.
"This is definitely the best birthday I've ever had," Billy said, as he kissed her shoulder.
"Well, it's not over yet," Kat replied, as the phone rang. She snatched it up and answered.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Yellow Bear to female blue wolf. We're ready for the arrival of the male blue wolf," Aisha said with a giggle.
"All right, we'll be right there," Kat said, as she hung up.
"Who was that?" Billy asked.
"It was Aisha, she wants us to come to the youth center," Kat replied.
"Okay, let's go," he replied, as they left.
A few minutes later, Billy and Kat arrived in the dark youth center.
"Why is it so dark in here?" Billy asked. As he said that, the lights turned on and everyone jumped out at them.
"Surprise!!!" they called. Billy's eyes went wide, as he read the banner in his honor.
"Wow, I can't believe this!" Billy said.
"Happy Birthday sweetie," Kara said, as she hugged her son.
"Thanks mom," Billy replied.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's PARTY!" a very hyper Rocky said.
"Too much jolt," Adam explained. Billy laughed and the music started.
Under a lover's sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well, just wait until
Til the sun goes down
Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
I'll steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you Can't Fight the Moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you Can't Fight the Moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
Billy and Kat danced alongside other couples. Billy smiled as he saw his mother dancing with his father. She was finally regaining the use of her legs and did not need her wheelchair again. This was definitely the best birthday he had ever had. He was surrounded by his friends, both his parents, and in the arms of the woman he loved.There's no escape from love
Was a gentle breeze
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
I'll steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you Can't Fight the Moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you Can't Fight the Moonlight
No, you can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you
Don't try then
You're never gonna win
Part of me the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
Don't you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

A few hours later, everyone but the rangers had gone home. Billy's parents were very tired and Billy told them not to worry about helping with clean up.
"Well, that's it," Adam said, as he tied up the last trash bag.
"Yeah, I'm beat," Rocky said.
"The jolt finally wore off?" Tommy teased.
"Well, happy birthday Billy. I think I'm going to go home and crash," Aisha said. Suddenly, the familiar six-tone signal was heard from their communicators. The rangers groaned.
"Why do they have to attack now? It's almost midnight," Kim whined.
"Let's get to work guys," Tommy said.
~*~*~*
The months were passing by quickly. The rangers were all very busy during their senior year. In addition to saving the world, they were busy with senior activities, college applications, and plans for graduation. They knew that even though their powers were permanent, Dimitria would be finding a new power source for new rangers. The current rangers would be placed on inactive duty and only called on in times of dire need. But soon, they would all find out that when involving evil the need is always dire. And they would also find out that a ranger never retires....
AN: Okay, I know that was a short chapter and also a big jump. But I am setting the scene for something even bigger. So, in chapter 27 the rangers graduate high school. But then, they are met with a threat to the security of the entire universe and they will find out that their days as active rangers are far from over! Thanks for reading and please leave a review! Bye for now!
