DISCLAIMER
I'm taking a break for Christmas. I just wanted to get this story finished before then. Everything but Gragon and the Crangons belong to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. The rest is mine. Oh, and I promise that Cassidy and Devon will be in the next story. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah and Kwanza!
Two hours later, the Rangers were sitting in Hailey's Cyber-Space.
"So, Conner. What happened when you and Kira were away?" Ethan wondered.
"What do you mean?" Conner asked.
"Well, before you guys disappeared, your head wasn't on straight, and when you came back, you were back to normal," Ethan answered. Conner sighed.
"I'm sorry, guys. It's just...I was dealing with some stuff," he apologized.
"Like what?" Trent queried.
"Um, guys, it's not really our business," Kira interjected.
"It's okay, Kira," Conner assured. She gave his arm a quick sleeve. "You see, it was this time last year that my dad walked out on us," he continued.
"Oh, dude. I'm sorry," Ethan sighed.
"It still hurts pretty bad. I mean, he left my mom for some babe that could be my older sister," Conner said in disgust.
"Man, that's bogus," Zack stated with a shake of his head.
"Yeah, and my brother Eric didn't even care. He thought it was cool," Conner added.
"Well, we're a family now. All of us," Tommy told him.
"Yeah. Especially since you two survived your first trip to another dimension," Jason said quietly.
"What? You mean you went through that before?" Kira asked.
"Oh, yeah. It used to happen to us all the time," Tommy said in a blase tone. Everyone laughed.
