Disclaimer: I do not own any thing that is affiliated with the Power Rangers. I do own a few original characters and I will add them into the disclaimer as they appear. I am not sure which characters from the "Saving the World, Again" series I will bring into this story, as of yet so for those of you that have followed that series, do not be surprised when some of them appear.

Trini's POV

It's hard to really describe how we have even gotten as far as we have over the past few years. I guess that the best way to describe it would be that a series of unfortunate events led the two of us to know that we were no longer content with the way our lives were going up until that point, namely the part of our lives called the so-called 'love life'. The events that occurred had to deal with the defeat of one Nicarni-Aso, who decided capturing me would be a good lure to bring my friends and fellow rangers to her planet and it worked rather well, but it did not save her life or her helpers' lives either. During that mission some things happened that changed Jason's view on life, from what I can tell about him now.

What happened to change his view on life, you might ask? Well, he had his worst fear, brought out in front of him and according to Kim and Tommy that fear had a lot to do with me, which is about all I knew for awhile there, as they wouldn't give me any details. Jason doesn't talk about it too much, although he did tell me what it was about, after some gentle prodding.

He has always been the type of person to try to protect himself from hurting others, but by doing that, he was really hurting himself this time. From what I've been told, his fear took him back to years before when we were first rangers and I think it surprised him that it didn't show what had actually happened, but the one thing he had always feared would happen when we were younger and continues to fear now. That fear was me being captured and taken away from him for good this time. Sure it could have happened hundreds of times before, but the one time that it happened, he felt that he couldn't show how he felt about it. That was what really got him thinking, or so he says, I'm not sure if I believe him, but Kim had told me to let it go, this is not something to pick a fight over.

Jason admits how he wasted too much time on lots of things, on trying to be the tough guy and not trying to be the nice guy that he really was. Although we all knew about the little act he was putting on at school for some people, just so they wouldn't mess with Billy or Kim, as they were the most vulnerable to any type of emotional attack and some times that didn't even work. They could look out for themselves, but Jason made it his personal mission to insure that no one would mess with them during the school day and they rarely did.

But he was the one that convinced Kim to come back out here and be a ranger again, of course he may have threatened her to within an inch of her life, but that's alright. We are all thankful for what he did to get us on the right track. He managed to get her to come back home and I don't know what we would have done without her being there this time. We would not have had all of our fighters and we would not have had some one mad enough to try to destroy Nicarni-Aso the way that she insisted that she be destroyed, if it was even going to happen at all.

None of us thought that it would even be possible to get Tommy and Kim in the same room together without the two of them using their powers against the other within a few seconds. Jason, however, saw some other things happening in their minds and it worked. He saw that they still cared and when he told them to go talk, they didn't have much of a choice but to listen to him. We all agreed that it had been far too long since they had talked about it and the least they could do was try to settle the dispute and become friends again.

The two of them got married in December and now they're trying to decide about how soon they want to start a family of their own, it's kinda scary to be honest. We just went through one hell of a fight, for lack of better words and neither one of them faired too well, with Kim winding up unconscious for awhile there.

That was one of the few times that I can remember seeing Tommy react so badly to something that had to deal with rangers. I don't really know what to think about them. They're rangers, through and through, and we all know it, but I'm not sure they can put parenthood on the list with that, just yet. They have so many other things that they are responsible and that they can't just put aside.

Now, I've done a lot of talking about the battles we've been in, some of our friends love lives, and even what made Jason realize that he was wasting his time in our situations, but I haven't told how we really got together in the first place.

You see, there was a ball we were holding for Ernie, as always. I love Ernie, he was always there for us, and none of us can ever forget what he did for us when we were teenagers. Plus, we are always willing to repay him, whenever he asks. Kim had her plans for all of it and Jason had been a real jackass for a few weeks. I found out later it was because he didn't know how to act around me any more, but that still makes no sense in my mind, I was still the same person, even if he had finally admitted to his friends how he felt about me.

Anyway, my friends knew what he had planned for that night and they were determined to find me something special to wear, so they put me in a red dress. Yeah, I said red and I was about as shocked as Jason was at how I looked in it. I really didn't want to see him that afternoon, I wasn't sure that I could handle him just acting like the friend he had always been to me. I wanted him to be so much more to me than just the big brother that I could go ask for anything, except for the things I really wanted out of him.

Well, I was a little nervous that night before I could even get inside the gym. No, let me rephrase that, I was more nervous than I had ever been in my life, from what I can remember and Kim reminds me about it every time I begin to act nervous now. I had decided that if Jason didn't say anything that night, then I would have to risk myself and my heart, in order to tell him the truth. Yeah, that was a nerve-racking situation and I probably wouldn't have even gone to the dance if it hadn't been for Kim being there to drag me inside and I'm not joking, she really did have to drag me inside of the gymnasium.

I never thought that I would feel as nervous about seeing someone, as I had seen her be about Tommy, well my day came and I did not hold up very well. That afternoon, before she dragged me inside of the gym, I had already cried, yelled out in frustration, and bit off what was left of my fingernails and I still had not even talked to Jason like I really needed to.

When I saw Jason, walking towards me, I didn't know what to think about him; other than he looked great and a little bit nervous. I really felt that I needed to just run away, this was all wrong, I had absolutely no chance with him but Kim being right behind me kept me from running out of the gym and away from him, as she had already anticipated my reaction at seeing him. He looked better to me than he had ever looked before from what I could remember and I was about as speechless as he was, as he looked me up and down in that red dress.

I didn't know what to think, didn't know what to say and I wasn't too sure that I really wanted to know those things, as he just stood there for a few seconds, from what Kim told me. I never really thought that we would tell each other about why we felt the way that we did, but it was the most natural thing that either of us had ever done and we both hated thinking that we had wasted so many years by just not saying it to the other.

From that day on, we were really happy with each other and almost everything else in our lives. We had our fights, believe me, we did and still do over some things. Jason was really trying to make up for the lost time and it paid off for both of us. We had been great friends, for years, before we had confessed everything and this has made us closer than we have ever been before.

Our own needs started to slowly become second to the other persons and after about a year of dating, we moved in together. My job was horrible and I needed to have him around more, so I could have someone to talk to about all of it when I got home at night.

I know that it sounds selfish and for some people, it would be, but Jason was feeling the same. After we started living together, our friends started playing with the question of how serious we really were. Some of them had thought that we just wanted to get this out of our system, then I would go back to Billy, and Jason would go back to Katherine and that would be that. That was until they started dating other people as well, after that it was a little bit more obvious that we were not going to sit around and say that we didn't want to be together anymore. That would have been a lie.

Then we kinda had a problem occur with Tommy last summer. The 'damned' island that he was on, exploded and when he got back, he had some bad news for all of us. There was thing called Mesogogg out there and he was after the dino gems that Tommy had managed to get a hold of in his miraculous escape from that place.

It was a little bit rough to hear that come from him, we all love Tommy, but we hate his ability to find himself in compromising positions that lead to worse things for us as a whole. He always is captured, attacked, or just ambushed in anything he has to do that could possibly deal with him being a ranger or some one else becoming rangers. We all were torn up about what we were going to do, but our choice was to bring in some new rangers, which was something none of us were really sure about, but they have learned a lot since they began. The thing was Tommy almost dying got some ideas rolling in Jason's brain and they weren't all bad ideas, although some of them definitely were a little bit odd, but I won't talk about those, there's no need for that.

He got the bright idea, that I wanted to get married and he was right about that one. I wanted for us to get married and I had been hoping for quite a few months that he would pop the question, anytime, even if it wasn't a special occasion. He decided that he wanted to make me wait awhile, even after seeing all of the things that were going on around us. Tommy and Kim were being attacked daily and we knew that they would only last so long before all of us were called in to help them, which was something that we agreed to do, from the beginning of this. He surprised me a few weeks ago, when he said he was going to take me out somewhere special.

I thought that he was crazy when we pulled up to the Juice Bar and Ernie was waiting outside, happily grinning from ear to ear. I didn't really comprehend what he was doing, although I got the feeling that something was up, even if him and Ernie adamantly denied it. We went through a nice supper, talking about things that the Juice Bar made us remember, very well. I actually hadn't noticed how much I missed the place, until I started thinking about all of the things that we had done there. Jason had been betting on me having that type of reaction to the place and once he got me thinking about it, he was able to think about what he was going to do.

I won't lie; I was shocked when he pulled out the ring that he wanted to give me. He had so much on his mind and I could look at him and tell that he was worried I didn't want to marry him. That he had been wrong about how I felt about him. Well, if he thought that then he was the one that was horribly wrong. I love him, I know I do and there was nothing that could make me any happier than marrying him. This is where we are, in our life together. I'm engaged to the man that I love and would do anything for and we're getting married, in August. I just hope that things don't get bad again, before we have our wedding.

AN: I hope that you like the beginning of this story. This story is going to show how Jason and Trini turn out, but it is also helping build up to what is going to happen in the third and final story in my "Saving the World, Again" series. Thanks for reading and feel free to review, as I have never done a story with Trini and Jason as the main characters.
