Story: From Out Of The Blue

Pairings: Kim/Jason friendship, Buffy/Angel friendship

Disclaimer: I do not own Xander,Willow, Buffy, Andrew, Spike, or Angel; they are the property of Joss Whedon and the WB. I similarly do not own the Power Rangers. They are owned by Disney and Saban Entertainment. Anything you do not recognize and is not from either show is of my own imagination.

Author Notes: This is a continuation one-shot from my original one-shot A Friend for Angel, and its sequels, Leaving The Past Behind and Found Again. You don't necessarily have to read those to understand this but it might help if you did. This is a crossover between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Power Rangers.


2006

London, England

"Wow." Kim murmured in awe. She, Jason, and Jason's two kids, Austin and Rachel, were in London to discuss a summer training program to be set up for the Joyce Summers School for Girls. Kimberly had been contacted two months beforehand to help organize a summer gymnastics program. The young woman had been wary at first but had eventually given in after bonding with one of the main defense teachers over a pair of shoes.

"It's a castle!" Eight year old Austin exclaimed. His little sister Rachel looked troubled.

"Does it have a dragon?" The four year old whispered. A small chuckle filled the air.

"Nope, no dragons. Though we do have a bunch of lady knights." A young man with a black eye patch came up behind them with twenty or so chattering girls. He smiled at Kimberly and Jason.

"I'm Xander Harris. You guys are here for the training program, right?" he asked. Jason nodded.

"Yeah, I'm Jason Scott, this is Kimberly Hart, and my two kids, Austin and Rachel." He introduced them. Xander nodded, checking out Kim. She raised an eyebrow and he grinned.

"Buffy's inside." He told them, motioning for them to follow. They were given a quick tour of the classrooms, library, dining hall, and kitchen before they found Buffy arguing with a wispy redhead.

"Wills, Buffy, there you are. The training program people are here." He called, heading immediately towards a shaggy blonde man who was putting the finishing touches on a cake in the shape of a light saber. The kid's eyes lit up.

"Star Wars!"

"Cake!" Andrew looked over with a sparkle in his eye as Willow, Buffy, Xander, Kim, and Jason laughed.

"Will you guys be here for lunch?" he asked.Kimberlynodded.

"That's the plan." Andrew grinned.

"You can have some then." He told the kids. Xander grabbed two cookies from a jar on the table and handed them to Austin and Rachel.

"Until then…" he told them. The kids looked up at Jason who nodded. Grinning, they took the cookies.

"How come whenever I want a cookie, you tell me no?" a cocky British voice called from the doorway. Kim and Jason were oohing over the cake with Rachel and didn't see the man who came in behind the British vampire.

"Because you do not need sweets, Spike." Angel told his grand-childe. Austin looked up at the two, the cookie half in his mouth as Jason and Kim both froze. Angel looked oddly at the two strangers, vaguely recognizing them. Jason slowly turned around, seeing Angel, and reached over to tap Kim. Buffy, Xander, Andrew, and Spike watched in some confusion as Kim slowly turned around. Off to the side, Willow was grinning. I knew their expressions would be priceless, the redhead thought amusedly to herself as Kim finally faced Angel. The original vampire with a soul gasped when he saw the young woman's eyes. I know those eyes…

"Kimberly!" He exclaimed, rushing towards to hug her tightly. Kim abruptly came out of her stupor and threw her arms around his neck.

"Liam!" She yelled into his chest. Spike's cigarette fell to the floor as he stared at the two in shock. Most vampires eventually changed their name once they gained master status. It was a sign of great devotion when a master vampire let anyone, mortal or demon, use their real name. Kim blindly reached out and pulled Jason into the hug. Angel did a double-take.

"Jason?" he asked, stunned. The former red ranger smirked and nodded. Angel laughed and that was it for Buffy.

"Okay, what the heck is going on here?" she asked confusedly. Angel glanced at Willow who smiled knowingly.

"Angel met Kimberly and Jason when they were about seven and he was living in a decrepit old house in Angel Grove. They out-stubborned him and befriended him and he moved away because if the demon population found out, they would have been killed. They haven't seen each other since." Willow explained to the confused slayer. Buffy suddenly understood.

"The valentine…" she whispered, knowing her ex had kept a faded piece of construction paper heart with him wherever he lived. Over Kim's shoulder, Angel nodded.

"My first official friend. Even when I didn't want her to be." He explained fondly. Kim giggled, pulled apart from the two men, and wiped away tears. She glanced at the kids, thought of something, and smirked at Jason.

"Told ya!" she crowed. Realizing almost instantly what she meant, Jason groaned. Grumbling, he pulled out his wallet and handed Kim a twenty. Seeing everyone's amused expressions, Kim shrugged and pocketed the bill.

"Never make bets with me. You'll lose."
