A Coffee Shop

"O my gosh, Tanya; It's so good to see you" Ashley exclaimed.

She had run into Tanya Sloan.

"You to, it's been so long," Tanya said back.

"Ya, it has," she said.

Tanya seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with her old friend, but didn't know what so she asked. "You ok there"?

"Tell you the truth, I don't know," she told her, sitting back down.

"Well why don't tell me wrong; maybe I can help," she said while sitting down across from her.

"Well," she started telling the whole story starting at her first date with Andros and ending at, "and now I'm pregnant and out on the road."

"Wow," is all she said as she let what Ashley told her sink in.

A few moments past by, here they just sat in silence.

"Hey," Tanya pinched in, "why don't you come along with me and some friends; we can help you and everything,"

"O I don't know," Ashley said, a bit unsure.

"Come on Ash, it's not safe for you to be traveling alone," she told her.

"What about my car," she asked.

"Is it a real nice car," Tanya asked back.

"Well no, it's actually a piece of junk; I had to trade my old car in for some money," Ashley answered.

"Well then just leave it," she told her.

"I don't know," she said, still a bit unsure.

"Trust me Ashley, this is exactly what you need," she assured her.

Ashley new Tanya was right. She really shouldn't be traveling alone, and she could use some friends to cheer her up. "Ok," she caved in.

"Great," she said. "I have a lot of explaining to do. You remember Tommy, right?"

Ashley nodded, remembering TJ's predecessor.

Continuing she said, "Well he just won this huge NASCAR race, and got paid a whole bunch of money. So the first eleven rangers on Earth along with the original red ranger's girlfriend are now on a road trip together. Tommy's paying for most of it, but the rest of us are chipping in too."

"Wow," she said, stunned. "You sure I won't be intruding."

"Girl you know your always welcome with us; we're a family, remember," she assured her.

"Ya," Ashley said, so glad that things were starting to turn up.

"Come on I want you to meets some friends," she said, tugging Ashley's arm to the other side of the café.

They stopped in front on three men. One of them, she recognized as Adam Park. He gave her a big hug.

"Hey Ashley, how's it going," he asked.

"O, I've been better," she answered.

"She coming with us on our trip," Tanya told them.

"Great," Adam said in response. He knew there was something wrong with the fourth yellow ranger, but figured he will find out soon enough what it was.

"Ok Ashley, I'd like you to meet my husband, Zack," she said as she introduced the African American male standing next to Adam, "and this here is Rocky," who was standing on the other side of Adam. "You guys this is my successor, Ashley."

They were both pleased to meet her, and she was pleased to meet them.

"We'd better get going before the others get antsy, waiting for their coffee," Zack said while laughing.

"Good idea," Tanya said, "Come on Ashley, I've got some more introductions to give," she mentioned as she tugged the younger girl along.

Outside

They walked outside and the first thing that Ashley saw was two huge RVs parked in the front of the café.

"Wow, those both belong to the same person," she asked in astonishment.

"Well they're rentals actually," Tanya told her.

Just then a tall girl with blond hair came out of one of the RVs. The girl ran up to Ashley and gave her a hug. It was Kathryn Hillard.

"Hey Ashley long time no see; are you joining us," the Australian asked.

"Yup," she replied, with a smile on her face for the first time in weeks

"Well lets get going, I'm sure everyone will love to meet you," Kat said.

One Of The RVs

"Hey everyone," Tanya started, "this is my successor, Ashley; she's going to be joining us on our trip."

"Cool," Ashley heard someone say.

"That's my husband, Rocky; beware of him," Kat informed her.

Rocky smirked at that comment, and then waved at Ashley.

"And this is Billy, the original blue ranger; and Trini, the original yellow ranger," Tanya continued, "They're married. Billy is a scientist, very smart; and Trini is a doctor. They both graduated early, so they're done with school. Trini is qualified to help you by the way."

"What do you need a doctor for," Trini asked in concern.

"Well, I'm six weeks pregnant, and I don't know what to do especially since the father lives on a whole other planet. I don't even know if I'll ever see him again," she told them, doing her best to hold back her tears.

"Well you've got us now, and we'll definitely help you," Kat said to her.

"And I would be glad to be your doctor; I could also tell by your behavior if something was wrong, so there's no worried about traveling," Trini said with a smile.

Ashley was so relieved, and she said, "thank you so much."

"Hey what are families for," Rocky said.

Ashley smiled and heard Tanya whisper, "told ya."

"You can sleep on the bed in the back," Trini said to her.

"O no," Ashley said, "I couldn't.

"Yes you can, and you will; doctor's orders." Trini replied

Before Ashley could protest Tanya said, "Hey, I forgot to tell you what the rest of us do. Rocky and Kat are opening a school with Tommy and his wife, Kimberly. Rocky and Tommy will teach martial arts, Kat will teach a dance class, and Kim will teach gymnastics. And Zack and I sing."

"Wow, that's great," Ashley replied.

A few moments later, Zack said, "Hey guys, looks like the others are ready to leave."

"I'll drive this time," Rocky volunteered.

The Other RV

"Hey you guys," Adam started as he entered the RV, "we have a new person joining us."

"Really, who is it," Kim asked him.

Her name's Ashley; she's Tanya's successor," Adam answered.

"Is she ok," Tommy asked.

"I honestly don't know," Adam replied.

They sat there for a few minutes until Jason said, "We'd better get going; it's my turn to drive."

On KO-35

"He still hasn't come around Karone," Zhane reminded her.

"I know I know, but do you really think that forcing him to date a stranger will actually help," she asked.

"Well it wouldn't hurt to try," Zhane protested.

"It just might," she responded.

Zhane just looked at her in silence.

Karone sighed, "Alright alright, but who do you expect to set him up with," she asked, curiously.

"I don't know yet," he replied.

"You're hopeless," she said.

Zhane shrugged.

"You know he's not going to be happy about this," she told him.

"O well, it's for his own good," he said before he turned him leave.

Karone watched this and muttered, "Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?" She sighed, and headed home.

Well?
