Chapter 4: Reunion
Last Time:
Josie was gapping at what her favorite teacher just did. She stood up from her position on the ground and glared at Eren. Quickly she walked off into the Academy while whispering to Eren as she passed by.
"This is not over"
Eren watched her go with a slight glare. Eren had calmed down and was now resting her head on Hunter's chest. She was so relaxed and calmed just being with him.
"What was that about anyways?" Hunter asked.
"Can we talk about this once I've freshened up a little?" Eren asked looking at herself with a disgusted face.
Hunter laughed and then answered her.
"Sure, lets go back."
The two went back inside the academy and straight to their room. Eren got into her pink semi long-sleeved t-shirt and red pajama pants. They sat down on their bed and Eren told him everything. Just as she was about to finish her "story", a note was slipped from under the door addressed to Eren. It read…
Now
The note read:
Stay away from MY man Matthews or else you will not see the light of day again!
Hunter read the note from behind Eren. He didn't like the sounds of the note and took it from her grasps before she could drop it. He her close to him as he lead her to their bed. He went down on his knees and looked at Eren.
"Don't worry Er, I won't let anything happen to you. I would never leave you or harm you, ever. I promise you that." Hunter told her.
Eren looked at him with a small smile creeping up to her face. She nodded her head and the two went to bed.
A Few Months Later; Two Days Before Christmas Eve
Eren and Hunter had already called their friends and family from Blue Bay Harbor and Reefside and at the moment Turtle Cove, where Blake was. They all talked about the reunion of rangers on Christmas and agreed to meet with the others on the appointed date. Hunter and Eren also agreed to pick Blake up since they would be at Turtle Cove before the others since it was only a few a two hour drive there for them. They placed all their stuff in Eren's jeep and said their good-byes. Once they were done with their good-byes, they went left Marina Bay.
Two hours later, they reached Turtle Cove. Eren parked her jeep at the restaurant Animarium. Eren remembered this restaurant and smiled at the name. She told Hunter the meaning of the name of it with a big smile on her face when he asked her about it.
"Hey Er, why's the restaurant called Animarium?" Hunter asked her.
"Long story but I guess I can tell you. This restaurant is based on the fantasy children's book. The story, which was also based on the legend, is about how there is this floating island in the sky called Animarium where a princess by the name of Princess Shayla sleeps with her guardian animals until she is awoken and needed to help protect the Earth from orgs and danger. It was also said that she and one of her protectors from 3000 years ago had fallen in love but could never be together because of their duties. A sad but very sweet story which has its own secrets." Eren told Hunter the short version of the long story.
"What do you mean its own secrets?" he asked.
"It means that it just isn't a story or a legend Hunt." she told him
"What do you mean by that?" he asked, still not getting it.
"I mean is that…" before she could finish what she was saying, someone interrupted her.
"She means is that its nothing important." the person interrupted Eren.
The couple turned around and came face to face with six different people, two girls and the rest being guys. Eren's eyes grew as she saw who they were. She smiled and ran to them, hugging the one that cut her off and then hugging the rest. Eren turned to Hunter and then to her friends.
"Lets do the introductions once we meet up with Blake, kay?" she asked.
They all nodded their heads and entered the restaurant. Eren and Hunter saw Blake and lead the others towards him. Once seated, Eren started the introductions.
"Ok, none of you guys panic and all but just so we're clear, no panicking or else you'll deal with me, got it?" Eren asked.
They all nodded their heads and she started.
"Hunter, Blake, meet the Wild Force Rangers WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!- the Wild Force Rangers whispered in a start. From left to right is Red Ranger Cole Evans, White Ranger Alyssa Enrile, Blue Ranger Max Cooper, Yellow Ranger Taylor Earheart, Black Ranger Danny Delgado, and finally, but not least, the Lunar Wolf Ranger, Marrick Baliton." She said and took a sip of her water.
Then she continued with her introduction.
"OK. Now you know who the Wild Force Rangers are, time to introduce the others. Guys, these two are the Thunder Storm Rangers that came after you guys. This is the Navy Thunder Ranger Blake Bradley and his big bro, my boyfriend, Crimson Thunder Ranger Hunter Bradley. Ok, now that we know each other, lets eat!" Eren cheered as she and the others, after their shock, ordered something to eat.
Once they were all done, Alyssa asked if Eren would be going to the Ranger reunion. Of course Eren said yes and that she was there to pick up Blake since she and Hunter were on there way there, after all the trip for them would be a day trip. Before Eren, Hunter and Blake left, Taylor said that she talked to Eric and said that he would already left with the other Time Force Rangers and would meet up with the Lightspeed and Lost Galaxy Rangers. Eren nodded her head and said her thanks. The Wild Force Rangers accompanied the trio to Eren's jeep since they said that they would be leaving as well. Before Eren drove off with her friends, she called out to the Wild Force Rangers.
"Hey guys! You leaving for Angel Grove yet?" Eren called out.
"Not yet. We're leaving tonight." Cole answered her.
"Alright, we should be off then." she said.
They all said their good-byes and drove their separate ways. That night, Eren stopped at her old city where she fought with the Lightspeed Rescue Ranger in Mariner Bay. She drove into the Lightspeed Aquabase using her old Lightspeed Rescue ID keycard. She was given admittance and was able to talk to Dana and Ryan Mitchell's father, Captain Bill Mitchell. She told him of their predicament and was given hers and her old sisters' dorm room where she and the Bradley brothers stayed.
The Next Day: Christmas Eve
The next day, Eren said her good-byes to all her old friends at the Aquabase and gave them all their presents that she had bought while at Marina Bay. Once they left, they started on their way again to Angel Grove. After driving for a few more hours, they reached Eren's home town. She drove to her old home and told the guys where they could stay while they were there. After they were all set and done, Eren and the brothers decided to decorate the house and set up the tree which took them another few hours. By the time that they were all done, it was still pretty early and that it wouldn't be dark for another five hours.
During this time, Eren decided to show the brothers around the small city. Going out of the house, she told the guys that they would only be walking since they were only going to the areas close by so that they could get back before dark and so that they could go out for dinner. She showed them Angel Grove Park, her neighborhood, the other old rangers' neighborhood and was greeted every once in awhile by people she use to know and the parents of the old rangers. She showed them the school and the library. Finally, Eren took them to the Youth Center. She led them inside and pointed out the food/smoothie counter, the training area and the gymnastic area.
"Over there is the training hall and gymnastic hall where we would all train, practice our martial arts and gymnastics." Eren pointed out.
"This place is amazing Eren." Hunter said.
"Agreed, this place is amazing!" Blake agreed with his brother.
Eren lead them towards the counter and was surprised to see Bulk, Skull and Lt. (Lieutenant) Stone working with Ernie. She walked up to the counter and cheerfully spoke out to the group behind the counter.
"Guess who!!" Eren called out in a sing song voice.
The group turned to look at who was talking and spoke all at once in a happy but surprised voice.
"Eren?!" they called out.
They rushed out from behind the counter and hugged her. They talked for a few minutes and then introduced them to the Bradley's. Bulk and Skull, acting like big brothers, started to question and threaten, but in a friendly way, Hunter when they found out that he was her boyfriend. Even Lt. Stone was acting all father like. Only Ernie was happy about Eren finding a boyfriend. She smiled at them and asked if any of the other rangers were there for the reunion for tomorrow. They all said that only the original rangers had arrived and that they would be seeing everyone else tomorrow.
"Hey Ernie, will the Center be closed for tomorrow?" Eren asked.
Hunter and Blake wanted to know this also because they knew tomorrow was the gathering of all the Power Rangers.
"No, why would it be? Everyone in Angel Grove know the identities of the original Power Rangers up to the Space Rangers. Plus, you know that no one would ever tell the identities of the Rangers. We respect all of you and what you've done for us." Ernie said.
"I know. I just wanted to know if I would be seeing some of the citizens and all." Eren told the group.
After eating, the trio thanked the group at the counter. They left the Center and went back to Eren's. Once they entered, they went straight to bed, with angry eyes watching Eren/
The Next Day: Christmas Day: The Reunion
Eren woke up early and took a quick shower. She changed into a pink long sleeved shirt that belled at the end with a ruby red tank top over it and faded denim bell bottom pants. She went down the stairs to see Hunter and Blake ready to start their day. Both brothers were wearing a type of motocross shirt and semi-baggy jeans. Hunter's shirt was red with black designs and the words "MotoX" in the motocross logo writing while Blake's was a navy blue with white and a picture of motocross rider doing the Superman. After eating breakfast, Eren lead the group out to finish their tour of Angel Grove, only this time in Eren's jeep.
8:00 P.M.-Youth Center
By 8, Eren and the guys had arrived at the Youth Center. The banner at the Center said "Ranger Reunion. All Rangers from the pas 12 Years!". She found all her old friends and more coming. Once she and the guys found her sisters and the Ninjas, they were suddenly surrounded by their friends, well, the girls anyways. The sisters had been dragged away and was suddenly asked questions like Who was the guy you were holding hands with or I can't believe that was your boyfriend, have you set a date yet for the wedding?! and so on. After questions were done, introductions were made since all the rangers had their own sections, except for the original Power Rangers up to the Space Rangers because they were all part of a group together so they sat at a long table. Eren and her sisters on the other hand had a table to themselves since they were in every single Ranger group.
Soon, everyone was eating, talking and laughing. Stories were told and the fun was shared. People started to dance or sing at the karaoke that was set up for them. Some even changed into some sweat clothes and challenged others in a friendly one on one while Kim was doing gymnastics on the balance beam. People were having fun and for the moment, Eren and everyone else forgot their problems. Sadly, it had to come to a close. As the time was already 11:30 P.M., all the ex-Rangers decided to call it a night. Everyone said their good-byes and said their thanks to Ernie, Bulk, Skull, and Lt. Stone. The original Rangers stayed behind to help clean up and so did the Ninja Rangers. After everything was cleaned, everyone left. Eren wanted to go to the park for awhile so she asked Tori if she could take everyone home for now. Of course Tori agreed but Hunter said that he would go with Eren. With a nod, Tori drove off with their friends and family.
With Eren and Hunter
Eren parked her jeep and got out with Hunter right behind her. He took her hand and started to walk down a pathway with her. After awhile of walking, Eren decided to get a little playful. She let go of his hand and streaked her way to Angel Grove's lake with him in hot pursuit. Soon enough he had caught her and had tackled her to the ground. Once they stopped rolling from the little tackle, Hunter had pinned Eren on the ground. The couple stared at each other and then their faces started to come closer. Just as their lips were about to touch, someone appeared and pulled Hunter off of her and punched him square in the face. Eren ran to Hunter who was on the ground from the shock and checked if he had any wounds. Once he was out of his state of shock, the two of them came face to face with…

Now aren't I evil? I love the suspense of it all. I'm sorry that I didn't have this posted on the appointed date, which happened to be Christmas, but I've been busy. After all, school is starting up for me in a week and my birthday is coming up, plus the new year is only a few days away. I worked on this chapter for a long time once I got time to do it. I hope it was long enough and just so you know, the story itself was six pages but with this "Note" and shout outs, the whole thing was seven pages long. I hope it was long enough and again, I'm so sorry for the long awaited update. I don't know how long the next chapter will be because school is starting back up so that means homework, YAY sarcasm dripping at the "scream"! Ok, well, hope you liked it and R n R!
By the way…….
Happy New Year!! And I hope all of you are safe!
