Summary: Everyone has his or her own history, but Devin was different. He didn't have a past, only a future.

Chapter Four

It was the day of the dance. All of the girls were excited, busily picking their dresses and doing their nails and hair and other little things in between… everyone except for Kaitlyn. I mean, Kaitlyn was doing her hair and nails and all that other stuff, but all the girls could tell something was wrong.

"Are you okay, Kaitlyn?" Beth asked, "Ever since Devin came back you've been seeming awfully sad."

"Oh, I'm just nervous." Kaitlyn replied, "You know with the dance and everything else."

"You expect us to believe that crap?" Beth asked, "Annie, Kaitlyn wants us to believe that the whole reason she's been so moody lately is because she's nervous about the dance."

"Kaitlyn, we're all friends, you can tell us whatever's wrong."

"Yeah, I know, it's just hard."

"Maybe it would be easier if you didn't have to hide it from us."

"I know, it's just… Devin doesn't like me anymore! He likes his old girlfriend from the past, Cassidy Cornell, and I have nothing against him for it. I mean, she's pretty, famous, and everything else he deserves… but why is it every guy I like ends up falling for someone else?"

"He broke up with you?" Beth asked.

"Not exactly, it just sort of happened, you know."

"I'm going to talk to him." Beth stood up.

"No! Please don't, Beth! We're both cool about it!"

"I don't care, he shouldn't treat you like this."

"Beth! He's not treating me badly! I mean, he's taking me to the dance tonight. We're just, just friends now, you know?"

"You're right, I'll wait until later, but, trust me, the two of us will have a conversation about this."

"Kaitlyn, you look amazing." Devin said as she stepped out of her room.

"Thanks, Devin. You look great, too."

"Hey, Kaitlyn, I was just thinking, what would you think of a hiking trip around Reefside? Back in 2004, at least, the landscape was amazing."

"I'd love that."

"Oh, hey, Kaitlyn. Hey, Devin." Jackson smiled, "Can you believe that twenty-four hours ago this place was just a normal, sweaty, old SPD gym?"

"Yeah, it's hard to believe." Kaitlyn said, smiling, "But it's such a nice change."

"Hey, Kaitlyn, do you want some punch?"

"Yeah, sure, that'd be great, Devin."

Devin made his way over to the refreshment stand only to be greeted by a camera.

"Oh, hi, Cassidy Cornell here." A voice said from right next to the camera, "Are you the mysterious B-squad green ranger we've heard nothing about?"

"Uh, yeah, I guess I am."

"Now, we haven't heard any information on you. We've been asking the academy over and over for press releases, but it's been 'no comment', 'no comment'. Do you have a comment as to why?"

"Uh, yeah, my dad can be a bit overprotective sometimes."

"Oh, a family connection to your commander. How do you feel about this?" Then she turned around to her cameraman, "Johnson, are you getting all this!"

"No, duh!" the cameraman snapped, "I was a professional cameraman last time I checked!"

Devin flinched. He never would've shouted back at Cassidy.

"Whatever, I'm trying to conduct an interview here." She turned her attention back to the interview again, "Anyway, how do you feel about having so many family members in the force."

"It's cool. I mean, they're always there to support me –"

"Um, I'm sorry to cut in." Jackson interrupted, "But, um, Devin we have to talk."

"Jackson, can't it –"

"No, it can't. This is important. C'mon."

Jackson and Devin made their way out of the gym to the common room where he found himself surrounded by teammates.

"Devin, how could you do this?" Beth asked him.

"Do what?"

"Ditch Kaitlyn in the middle of the dance to talk to your old girlfriend from 2004. I mean, it's bad enough you cheated on her, but all this?" Beth shook her head, "She already has low self confidence as it is, so you just randomly decide to pick up a new girlfriend on your last mission and decide that while she's here doing a report on the academy, Kaitlyn's not so important anymore! What the heck is wrong with you!"

"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot –"

"Yeah, you just 'forgot' that you had a girlfriend? Just so you know, Kaitlyn left the dance crying. That's how upset seeing you flirting with another girl made her! And then… Then, I ask her what's wrong and she tells me that you've been cheating on her!" Rockwell paused for a second, "Man, I don't know what's up with you! You're cheating on Kaitlyn, an amazing girl who's your own age, for a thirty-nine-year-old reporter! There's something wrong there, man."

"But, guys, if you only met Cassidy…"

"Excuse me, I couldn't help overhearing, but were you talking about me?" The blonde reporter asked as she stepped into the room.

"You're way over your head, big brother." Beth said, "C'mon guys, let's let these two 'lovers' hash things out on their own."

Okay, I'm having real trouble here writing. At first I was worried about making Kaitlyn sound like a b, but now I'm making Devin sound worse. I have nothing against Devin and I really don't mean to be making him sound bad. I'll try to getthis story back on track. Please read'n'review.
