Disclaimer: I own nobody but Akira. Vash the Stampede appears courtesy of my imagination, he also does NOT belong to me. I wish he did though. Just so you get it it's a TG/PR fic.

Summery: Tommy looks back on his high school days as he and the Dino Thunder Ranger clean up his house. What happens when someone from his past shows up and an old flame finally sees him for the first time in 10 years?

Chapter 2: Reunions

::One Week Later…::

I walked into the bus station looking around. I smiled as I found who I was looking for. I jogged over to them and hugged him. "Hey!" I said as I pulled out of the hug. "How have you been Jason?" I asked him.

"I've been doing well, how bout you?" He asked smiling.

"The same old, same old. How's your karate school going?" I asked him as I picked up his bag and carried it as I led him to my jeep.

"It's doing well. So I heard you're a teacher now eh?" He smirked as we headed to my house.

"Yeah I am. I'm also back in the old business again." I said flashing my morpher to him.

"Well, you can't keep a good ranger down." He laughed as we pulled into my driveway. "Nice place. You've done well for yourself." He said as he got out of the jeep.

"Yeah I have. How's Kimmy and the others?" I asked him. He smiled.

"Well Kimberly and I got married about a month ago. We would have invited you, but we didn't have your address, you moved around so much and all we couldn't keep track of you and all. She teaches gymnastics at her own school now. Zach is a dancer, he prefers to be called a choreographer, but I still just call him a dancer. Billy and Trini got married about 7 years ago." He said.

"I remember. I was at that one. The garlic bread backed me up for a week. I had to take a laxative just go each day." I joked as he laughed out loud.

"Yeah, Billy's a scientist for N.A.S.A. Trini teaches tai-chi in the park when she's not wrangling her two 6 year old kids, Eric and Terri. They're twins. It's just the weirdest thing, Eric looks like his mom and Terri looks like her dad, but totally different personalities. Eric acts just like Billy and Terri acts just like Trini. They came over to spend the night with me and Kimberly last week. We're practically their aunt and uncle to them.

They live down the street from us back in Angel Grove. Yeah, but through it all we've missed you and-'' He stopped short and looked away. "Sorry, man I didn't mean too-''

"It's ok. You can talk about her. I miss her too." I said looking at the picture on my fireplace mantel.

"You loved each other a lot didn't you?" He asked looking at the picture then back to me.

"Yeah we did." I said as a tear slid down my face. "I still do. I know she still loves me too." I sniffed and wiped the lone tear away. "Come on, I'll show you around town." I said clapping him on the back as we made our way to his room to put his stuff up then out to my jeep. On the way to town we talked about what guys talk about, sports, food, TV, Jason avoided the subject of girls, but we still talked a lot on the way. As I pulled into Haley's Cyber Space I spotted Kira and Trent.

"There're the new recruits." I said as we walked over to them. "Hey guys. This is another old friend, Jason. Jason this is Kira and Trent." I said gesturing to each in turn. "Jason here use to be our group leader." I said winking at them. They grinned in turn.

"Hi there." He said waving to them.

"Hey Dr. O, have you seen Conner or Ethan? We can't find them." At that our morphers went off. I looked at Jason.

"Sorry man duty calls." I said.

"Don't worry about it. I know the feeling." He said as he went inside the café. We looked around and ran around the corner.

"Yeah?" I answered to the morpher.

"There's a seriously psycho dude down here Dr. O. He's got a red trench coat and six-shooter on him. He's trying to fight a monster of some sort. You better get down here quick before he gets hurt." Conner said. That description sounds real familier.

"Right we're on our way." I said. "Ready?" I asked getting into position.

"Ready." Trent and Kira answered.

"Dino Thunder power up! Ha!" We said as we morphed. We got to Ethan and Conner as soon as we could.

"We're here. Where's that guy you were talking about Conner?" I asked him.

"Up there!" He said pointing to two dark objects falling from a tall building; one shooting at the other. I made no mistake. It's him alright. The monster ceased to exist when it hit the pavement. I ran over to the man as he raised the gun again.

"Wait!" I cried as I ran over to him. I stopped him just in time before he wasted even more bullets on what use to be a monster.
