Disclaimer: this story contains some M/M relationships. If you're not open-minded then do not read, as this may lead to offence and I don't want to offend by accident! This story will also have an M/F relationship and mentions most of the power rangers from the original to SPD. (Big project I know!) And now the legal stuff; I don't own power rangers, they belong to Saiban. I do however own the character Rex Talbot and Palmer Beach & its amenities like the University! Now, on with the story.
Power Rangers: Digital Cosmos
Chapter One: The Reunion of Ninjas
"And cut. Good that was great; take five, everyone!" Adam Park, the film director, was working on the set of his new movie 'Trailblazers'. The film was about a teen that dreamed of being a world famous motor-cross champion. Many people auditioned for the part of the teen but Adam knew in his heart that he chose well. This was going to be his make or break movie, the film that elevated him to the same realm as Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee and Martin Scorcese. "Rex, get Mr. Bradley on set please!" Rex Talbot, Adam's runner and your general teen with no distinct career path, ran to the cabin marked 'lead actor' and knocked politely.
"Mr Bradley, your scene is up now. You're wanted on set."
"Yeah, yeah I was coming! And what did I say 'bout calling me Mr Bradley?"
Rex smirked, as he replied "Yeah, don't; but it's what usually happens on movie sets. Look are you coming out or not; this is the last scene 'apparently'!"
The door opened to reveal Blake Bradley in his usual navy motor-cross uniform. "This best be the last scene, I've got to meet my girlfriend tomorrow!"
"Yeah I know, I'm trying to make it so that we only need one take and then 'we out'!" Rex was a no-nonsense kind of guy. He wasn't about to take shit from anybody, even if he was employed as a lowly runner!
"Right, Blake this is the scene. I want you to do two laps of this dirt track and come from third place or lower to win the race, got it?" Adam's thought processes and visions were so graphically clear that it was little wonder this movie had Oscar nomination talk before it was even released!
"Hey, I can handle it bro! I mean I was a factory rider!"
"Like we haven't heard that a million times before!" Rex had a natural air of sarcasm about him but he being just 19, everyone just thought it funny!
"Wise guy. So you still need a ride to Palmer Beach? I can drop you if you like!"
"Yeah that would be awesome! Cheers Blake! ...Wait Adam said he needed to go there as well, you don't mind if he hitches a ride?"
"Well I don't know..." Blake, Adam and Rex had grown close over filming (seeing as they were the youngest three there!) but he really wanted some alone time with his girlfriend!
"Pwetty Pwease wit Chewwies on top! Don't make me do the cute face!" Blake was very convincing. His brown dread locked hair framed his chocolate skin very well; he wore a red t-shirt under a ripped denim jacket, which belittled how physically buff he really was; and he teamed that up with black combats and white McKenzie trainers!
"Fine but you owe me big time!" Blake put on his helmet and jumped unto his bike.
At Palmer Beach, Victoria 'Tori' Hanson was just coming to shore after a slamming surf session and heading up to her post as part time lifeguard for the beach. Her partner in crime, Rocky DeSantos was staring at an old photo of his, from a long time ago. It showed himself, Tommy Oliver, Tanya Sloane, Katherine Hillard and Adam Park. He gently caressed the part where Adam was standing and sighed softly. "I never got to tell you how much you mean to me..." he reminisced.
"Never got to tell who how much you mean to them?"
"Tor..." Rocky leaned back on the chair he was sitting on a bit too much for his own liking, and ended up flat on his back. "...Owww. That hurt!"
"Come on Rocky, spill it. You've always been able to talk to me, so start talking boy!" Tori extended her hand to him. Rocky grabbed it and allowed her to raise him to his feet!
"...It's like this. You've known since day 1 that I was gay, but you didn't hold that against me. But... there was something I was hiding. You know when you asked me if I had a crush on anybody and I said no…" He paused briefly, enough to get an affirmative nod from his pal before continuing, "Well there was someone. I should've told him but at the time I was just a bit...clumsy. Ok I was very clumsy," Rocky added when Tori looked at him with a raised eyebrow; to everyone who knew him clumsy might as well have been his middle name! "He was with another girl and I didn't want to lose him as a friend. Then we started losing touch and I haven't seen him in ages. I just wished that I had told him when I had the chance."
"Hey, I know what will cheer you up. I'm meeting my boyfriend and Rex here in a couple of minutes..."
It was Rocky's turn to raise his eyebrows, "yeah like that's gonna cheer me up, hanging around with you two lovebirds and the saint of sarcasm!"
"...And I was wondering if you would come with and meet this other person they're bringing. Please, Rex even promised to be less sarcastic if you agreed to come!" She pounced on him and started mock begging and pleading. In the end all Rocky could do was give in against his better nature.
"…Alright, I'll come. But you owe me! Big Time!"
"What's that Adam?" Rex asked in the back of Blake's Hummer. They had spent the last two hours on the road chatting about how awesome it would be to get away from filming finally!
"It's an old picture of pals from Angel Grove. That's Kat, and Tanya. She pretended to be my girlfriend to fool everyone into thinking I was straight..."
"I think you could've done a good job of that by yourself Adam," quipped Blake from the front seat. He was answered by Rex giggling his head off whilst Adam socked in the shoulder!
"As I was saying...That's Tommy, and finally standing next to me is my long time best friend, Rocco. Rocky to you lot. Yeah they were happy days back then. Sometimes I wonder what some of them are up to at this exact point in time."
"Especially Rocky I presume?" Adam turned to look at Rex amazed at how he knew that he missed Rocky. "I mean it's kind of obvious really, especially in that photo. You're both looking at each other with huge smiling faces. Anyone who can make you smile that much has a definite place in your heart, just like you and Blake have spots in mine...but don't be getting any ideas mind!" Adam blushed deep red and smiled. Rex knew exactly what to say at the right time! "Thanks, man."
"Okay Agony Uncle, we're here. Help me unpack the stuff from the boot, and Rex no joyriding!" Blake ran to the beach and looked around for Tori's watchtower.
"Hey, you there..." Blake turned around to see a Hispanic in his twenties facing him. "...You wouldn't happen to be Blake Bradley by any chance?"
"Yeah, that's me, but who are you?"
"Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. I'm Rockwell DeSantos, Tori's lifeguard partner. Yeah, she said that she wanted some alone time with you and I should 'help out' with your stuff to the beach. Whereabouts is it?"
"Up there, where that guy with the dreadlocks is."
"Right, next to Rex. ...Don't look so shocked," Rocky answered to the puzzled look on Blake's face, "He use to help Ernie run the Beach Bar, not too long ago." With that Rocky left Blake and ran up the steps towards Rex. "Yo, Rex long time no see."
"Rocky, O my God. Look at you. How you been? How's the beach been without me, quiet as fuck right!"
"A lil' help here, please...gasp" Rex took the boxes in Adam's hands was about to walk away when he remembered to introduce his pals to each other!
"Oh btw Rocky, this is..."
"Adam!"
"Rocky!"
"You know each other!"
