Chapter 9: Reunion and Truths, Together at Last

Last Time:

The three girls talked for a short time until Tommy said that they had to go. Eren and Tommy said their good-byes while inviting them to Hayley's on Friday for talent night. Eren and Tommy left and headed to Tommy's jeep but were stopped when a bunch of Tyrannodrones and Elsa appeared out of no where.

"What do you want now?!" Eren asked a little annoyed that they came during her shopping day.

"We want nothing but you girl!" Elsa said to Eren.

The drones attacked Eren and Tommy. Eren threw her's and Tommy's gifts gently into the jeep so that it wouldn't be damaged by the enemy. They charged at the drones and started to fight. Eren and Tommy combined their attacks as if they were fighting Dark Scepter's forces. The two were tiring quickly since they were moving around a lot that day. As they were brought to their knees, a blonde figure in pink and white appeared and helped them. Eren and Tommy couldn't see the face of their savior but knew it was a female since they could see a petite figure and mid-back length hair. When Elsa and her drones ran away like cowards, their savior turned around and they came face to face with someone from their past.

"CAT?!" Tommy and Eren asked in shock.

Now

Standing in front of the two rangers stood a young female in a baby pink t-shirt with a little white flower near the collar, stretch blue hip huggers jeans and a white head band on her blond hair. She had a soft smile and held out both her hands for Eren and Tommy to take. The two took it and looked the new comer over. Standing in front of them stood the second ever Pink Ranger and Tommy's second love interest, Catherine Hillard. After helping the fallen rangers, she walked over to her forgotten duffel bag and picked it up. Turning around, she spoke to them.

"It's been awhile Tommy." Cat said as she walked over to him and hugged him tightly.

Cat released Tommy and looked at Eren. She couldn't put her finger on it but she knew she knew her from somewhere. Then she was hugged by the "mysterious girl" who smiled as she was released from her grip.

"Cat? Don't you remember me? It's me, Eren Matthews!" Eren exclaimed as it dawned on Cat who squealed and enveloped the girl in hugs and gushed out words that sounded like, "your so cute!" or "you've grown to become so beautiful!".

After releasing her, Eren looked a little ruffled up but knew it wasn't over since she saw the blond smiling like a maniac. Eren gave a scared look as she helped Cat put her stuff into Tommy's black jeep. As the three left the shopping mall, Eren started to ask the former Pink Ranger questions.

"So Cat, from what I heard, you've been doing good lately. So why are you coming to our little city of Reefside?" Eren started.

"Yeah, I have but I missed Tommy and I knew if I'm around him, then well, I guess I thought I would be around some action." Cat said with a little nervous laugh.

"Well, I can't say you aren't wrong. Tommy brought us some new enemies. Right Tom?" Eren asked looking at Tommy with an accusing look.

Cat started to laugh at that and smiled. "I guess I won't be bored here now will I?"

The group laughed at that comment. There was a short silence until Eren broke it with another one of her questions.

"So Kitty Cat, why are you a day early?" Eren asked Cat, calling her by her old nick name that she made up when she found out that Cat could turn into a cat when she was evil.

"I wanted to surprise Tommy so I told him I would be arriving a day later." Cat stated.

"Wow, great minds must think alike! I did the same thing to him!" Eren exclaimed.

Through out the ride back, Eren kept asking Cat questions and found some interesting facts. She found out that Cat would be opening her own dance studio here in Reefside and that it was open to all ages. Eren even decided to join her advance classes, after all, Eren did get classes from Cat when they still lived in Angel Grove. As the group stopped at their home, Eren found out that Cat would be staying in the room next to Tommy's so she helped bring her stuff up to the pretty pink and white room. After the group was done, Eren and Tommy gave their gifts to Cat, who of course, ripped the gift wrappers open. She was excited to see what she had gotten.

Eren would have stayed longer if she hadn't of forgotten that she was suppose to watch a movie with Conner and the other rangers, as well as the ex-rangers. Eren gave Tommy a hug and Cat a quick kiss on the cheek and ran, well more like streaked, to the Cinema to wait for her friends and her new "boyfriend". Soon enough, they all arrived with an unwanted guess, Hunter. Hunter, thankful that the group would let him come along, he offered to pay for everything that they wanted. As soon as they were inside, everyone was seated to watch the new Ella Enchanted movie (ha ha ha ha. I just finished watching it and oh my gosh! Prince Char is cute. ;…I feel so embarrassed).

When the movie was over, Conner took Eren and Hunter to the side when everyone else had gone. Conner thought it was time for Eren to face Hunter. And boy was he right, he loved Eren for sure, but knowing that she could only love Hunter made him realize that they were meant for each other. Even though Conner was dense, he could see that Hunter still deeply loved Eren, even though he was with that Rachael girl.

"Hunter, Eren, I think it's time that you two talked." Conner said sternly which surprised Eren greatly.

"What do you mean, Conner?" Eren asked, still a little surprised.

"Yeah dude, what's up with you?" Hunter asked.

"I think you both know what I mean. The two of you need to get your feelings sorted out. I don't want to be stuck in the middle of this all. Eren, I think you should tell him. I got to go, I'm suppose to meet Eric in a few minutes." Conner said leaving the two behind to get to his car.

With Eren and Hunter

Eren and Hunter were silent for a few minutes in an awkward silence. After a few more minutes, Hunter broke the silence.

"What did he mean tell me? Tell me what?" Hunter asked.

"It…it's nothing." Eren stuttered as she turned away from him.

"Eren, I know your lying. You always stutter when you didn't want to tell me something." Hunter said.

"Fine, I'll tell you, just stop." Eren said a little irritated.

Hunter grinned at winning their little arguments. He remembered how they would always have their little arguments and would laugh about it when they were done. He was brought back from his memories as she started her explanation.

"Hunter, remember that day when Conner took me to the side line after the battle? Well the reason was that he wanted to ask me if I wanted to go out on a date with him. But keeping true to our promise, I declined. He was a little heart broken but he then had an idea to help me in trying to move on. I remember what he said too. 'Eren, if you really do love Hunter, then I want to help you see if he still has feelings for you.'" Eren started as she ended with trying to copy Conner's voice. "Well, before we returned to you guys, he and I made a deal to see if you still had feelings for me and I don't know, I was being way to hopeful. Conner was really great in helping me out. He was such a good actor too that it's hard to believe that he is the king of all jocks."

The two laughed as Eren finished her explanation. Hunter was smiling. He thought what she said over and decided, how about give it another try, may be it will work out better this time. He smiled at her and then spoke while taking her hands in his.

"Eren, I think I still do have feelings for you. How about we give it another go?"

Eren smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Then she remembered that he was still with Rachael. She voiced out her thoughts and Hunter told her that he would take care of everything. The two left and went to Hayley's Cyber Café since Eren's shift was suppose to start soon.

At Hayley's Cyber Café

When the two entered the café, they found their friends sitting all together. Hunter went over to them as Eren went behind the counter of the café's bar. When Hunter saw Rachael, he asked if the two of them could be excused. The couple went outside where Hunter started to talk.

"Rach, I love you and all but…" Hunter started but was interrupted by Rachael herself.

"But you love Eren. Yeah, yeah, I already figured that out. Go, be with her. I know for a fact that we aren't meant for each other, we're too different." she said, being sincere for once.

The two walked back into the café where they, including Eren, Trent, Hayley, Cat and Tommy, were waiting for them. Once they were back, Eren and Hunter told their friends the new news. Conner new the news already but was still happy to know that they were finally happy.

Shout Outs:

CamFan4Ever- Glade you liked my chapters. Don't worry, you aren't finished yet. Your still coming back.

Jorgitosbabe- So much enthusiasm! I'm glad you like the way I made your character. I just didn't want all my characters having the same hair color. Just look at the Matthew sisters.

Hope you both like this chapter!

I'm sorry for the late update, it's just school started and I've been busy lately with school. And now it's even worse since I got sick. I have a cold now and it's making me tired. But also because there is that special cross over with Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder this Sunday, I have a special chapter in this story, with the Ninja Storm characters, along with Eren's sisters. And I hope all Eren/Hunter fans like that they're back together. Oh and don't worry, Conner won't be alone without a girlfriend, there is only one character, and I hope you all know who it is, that will be alone and miserable because I'm mean. No offense to anyone with that name if you know who I'm talking about! I'm starting on the new chapter so I'm hoping to have it done by this Saturday. Just so you know, it won't be so long. Ok, see you soon!
